The past week was especially favor
able to crops in South Dakota. Re-
ports received at the government
weather bureau at Huron saw showers
We're frequent and copious over all the
state except, possibly, the Black Hills
region, where, so far as heard from,
they were light. Over the portion OF
the state lying east of the Missouri
river the showers were general and
widespread and in many localities
aDnornally heavy. Some were accom-
panied by hail but no damage is re-
ported. Although the soil was amply
moist the preceding week the excess
or moisture this week is no detriment,
except to some extent over the central
and northern counties. Steady ad-
vancement has been made in this
work Eel these sections. however. In
the southern counties the small grain
wheat and oats-is most all above
ground, and blowing and preparing
ground for corn is being pushed.
Flowing is more or less general else
where. The weather during the week
has been exceptionally favorable for
termination and growth. All vegeta-
ton has made rapid and healthy
growth. The growing grain shows
good stand and color.
Grass affords excellent pasturage
over most Of the state.
Shade trees have leafed rapidly and
plum trees are in blossom in the CEN
rial and southern counties.
Gardening is general and field po-
tato planting has begun.
Numerous reports indicate that the
soil is in the best condition ii has been
for a number Of years. Lake beds are
flling up that have been dry or nearly
so for years past. and sloughs full Of
water are numerous.

CUBANs ALL RIGHT.
They Send Another Cargo of Arms
to the Island.

New York, May ia great deal OF
mystery surrounds the movements or
the American steamship Laurada,
which came into port Saturday and
anchored off Liberty island. 1t was
generally believed that the Laurada
had been chartered by the Cuban
junta for the purpose of conveying an
other filibustering expedition to Cuba.
When the Laurada came into port 1t
was observed that she was drawing
very little water. The news of her
arrival was soon made known to the
Spanish consul general who hurried
to have a conference with Marshal
Mccarthy at the barge office.
Meanwhile ii appears that the con
sui general had communicated with
his subordinates TO keep a close watch
Oh the leaders of the Laurada. They
learned that n lighter, the name Of
which could not be a~scertained, had
made fast at Pier II, East river. The
detectives watched the delivery Of
many boxes and cases on board the
lighter. All this time a tug was in
waiting for the detectives at Pier 3.
East river. At the barge office the
revenue cutters Hudson and Chandler
were also under steam. After the
lighter had relieved her cargo she
steamed up the river and took a new
position and anchored. The tug con-
tanning the detectives followed in her
wake and lay in the middle of the
river until the lighter, hugging the
Brooklyn shore. went down the river.
passing through Buttermilk channel.
AS the lighter vas going to Governors
island the tug put back for Pier 6.
Then the tug steamed across the river
through Buttermilk channel to Attain
tic basin, where the lighter was found
warped to n dock. Her cargo had been
removed. The tug then proceeded
over to where the Laurada laid and
dropped anchor to the south Of Bed
loe's island. Smoke was pouring from
the tunnels of the steamer and there
was much hustle and activity on
deck. Half an hour later the Laurada
steamed down the bay and passed 1T

Fire In 81. LOuis

st. Louis, May 12.-Fire was discOv-
cred in the real of the Metropolitan
restaurant, which occupies a three
story building at 324 Olive street at 1
o'clock this morning. Before the fire
men could get to work the flames
spread throughout the building and
o destroyed it. Jefferson Gardner,
a cook rooming on the third floor, had
a narrow escape from death. He was
badly burned about the face. Dan
Steele, Mike Tehoe, John Cronin, Har-
ry Briggs and two other fremen
whose names are unknown, were in
jured by the falling Of the front wall.
They were all taken to the city hos
pital. How badly they were injured
cannot be learned. 1t was reported
that Tom Dunton, a cock rooming
with Gardner, was missing, but this
could not be substantiated. For a
time the Rialto. a ten-story office
building adjoining, was threatened,
but hard work by the firemen saved it.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.

the money was returned TO Mr.. Irving.

Ashland, Wis, May 11-Ashland has
been visited by the most disastrous

panied by loss of life. Four hundred
thousand dollars worth of property
was destroyed. consisting of lumber,
valuable docks and lumber plants.
Shores mill plant, about the finest on
the bay. is a mass of ruins. The entire
system Of docks is being slowly burned
TO the waters edge. Twelve million
feet of lumber piled thereon has been
consumed by the resistless flames.
Shores loss amounts to S295,000.
Durfee's loss on dock is about $4,000
and the lumber on his dock burned
was worth $4,000. Shores mill was
worth Sl15.O 00. the dock system $780,
900 and his lumber destroyed $4,000.
The lumber on Durfee's dock was
owned mostly by outside parties. The
North Wisconsin Lumber Company OF
Hayward. Wis, owned 100000 feet
worth $40, 900 that was destroyed, and
the Haynes Lumber Company of ORR

pect to Secure the Choicest
Pieces of Land,

Fosston, Mimi, May 12.-As the day
approaches for the opening of the Red
Lake reservation to settlement there
is considerable activity manifested
among the farmers along the western
line. Most of them have eyes on
choice tracts for themselves or some
friend or relative. Being familiar
with the country. it is the expectation
of the farmer to be able to outfoot the
tenderfoot, and come in a few minutes
ahead in the race for the best lands
which lie close to the line. AT O'Neirs
place on Lost river, twenty miles
north of Fosston, there is said to be a
small village of some seventy or
eighty tents, occupied by men intend
ing to make the grand rush, and with
them are some of the fleetest horses to
be found in this section of the country.
Fleet horses are in demand now, and
some OF the Iowa and Southern Min
nesota people have disposed of stock
OF that sort at good prices. Up near
the line offers are freely made of $40,
go II ever $50 for the use of a fast
nag on the opening day. To-day Foss-
ton is almost deserted of it's young
men and long-legged roadsters. A
brigade has left for the line in order
to get q satisfactory station from
which TO make the run. On the banks
Of Lost river in the last few days
some n have erected log houses
on the reserve, but there are plenty of
men who will make the rush for them
and contest the right of the builders
when they get to the land office. The
weather has been changed to spring
sunshine, and practically all the GOV
cred wagons in town yesterday have
been unable TO withstand the tempta-
ton. and have gone toward the line
in spite of the mud and water.
