South Dakota Agriculture.

A circular letter to Geo. II. Heaford,
Gen. Pass. Agt of the st. P. Ry., from
Thomas Thorson, Secretary of State of
South Dakota, was turnis he'd us this
week to Communicate for the informa-
ton of our readers. 1t says that the
prospect for general good crop
throughout that state is positively most
promising. The spring opened early,
with warm weather and plenty of rain
causing vegetation to make rapid and
healthy growth. Mr.. Thorson says the
acreage seeded to wheat and other
small grains is larger than usual, is of
an exceptionally good stand and color,
and on most fields already covers the
ground. Lake beds and streams are
filled with water and moisture of soil
extends to depth of from three to
five feet.
Good for Dakota, we are pleased to
note its promising crops-and equally
glad to add that for an excellent grow
ing section this spring Wood county
Wisconsin, is right in line.

A New Railroad.

Some little excitement prevailed
among our citizens the first ofthe week
when the fact became known that there
was strong talk of extending the Port
Edwards & Marshtield railroad from
Nekoosa through this county to inter-
sect the Northwestern at Princeton or
the St. Paul at Berlin. This road is one
which TIE Sun has many times ad-
vocated, and we still cling to the idea
that it would be q paying line and that
it will some day be built. 1t now tran
spires that Walter A. Scott, is desirous
of extending his road through this
county to either of the above named
places. Mr.. Scott, in company with
Geo. B. Mcmillan, of Centralia, was in
Plainfeld the first of the week con-
ferring with our people and talked very
encouragingly Of the extension, pro-
viding the necessary aid could be
raised. To tell where the road would
pass through the county, would be a
difficult task until several surveys had
been made, Plainfeld, of course de-
sires to have the road, but that would
depend on the amount of aid required
and other circumstances.
Mr.. Scott and Mr.. Mcmillan were
joined here Monday evening, by Hon.
J. I. Ellarson, of Portage, and Tuesday
morning took their departure fo1
Wautoma and the eastern part of the
county, in order TO take survey of the
country and talk with the people along
the route.
1t might be well for our people tc
think the matter over and all take hold

DISSOLVED PARTNERSHIP

The firm heretofore known as F. w.
Kruger & Co., dealers in Gents Fur
nishings has been dissolved by mutual
consent. Mr. d. B. Phllleo retiring on
Saturday May 23rd and F. w. Kruger
purchasing his interest and will con-
tinue in the business at the old stand.
These two young men started in bust
ness IN small way several years ago
and rapidly increased their stock until
they were carrying the largest stock of
gents furnishings goods in either city.
They did a fine business but the hard
times coming on just when they did
crippled them and they made an
assignment. Since that assignment
they have settled all their claims and
Mr.. Kruger starts out anew. He has
the best wishes of his friends and
customers for future success and pros
perity.

Condition of Trade.

There is nothing like reaction in
business, though the volume is small.
The stock market refuses to obey orders
for a panic. Manufacturers are not
gaining on the whole, but very few are
losing. Railroad stocks average shade
higher than a week ago, and there is
abundant evidence that men of money
are watching for the right moment to
buy at the bottom, certain that good
crops and definite political prospects
will bring improvement in the Fall.
Men of all parties have faith that the
American people will find the right
way to maintain the soundness of their
currency. There is no longer the
threatened danger that both Houses of
Congress will go wrong, and the success
of sound money men in both parties as
far west as South Dakota is most signif-
cant. The business world has the best
of reasons for refusing to 90 into a
panic, and it looks hopefully forward to
definite improvement as soon as
political uncertainties are out of the
way. The waiting condition, which
seems to some people nothing better
than stagnation, still continues But
there is difference. Thousands of
orders and contracts are merely deferred
because they can be more safely given
little later.

TERSELY TOLD.
by E. r. Petherick.l


The boy who undertakes to walk in
his fathers footsteps should not expect
to find the path worn smooth.
The man who has no friends is either
phenomenally tight or amazingly loose
What pity it is that we seldom
know the weaknesses of the world as
thoroughly as it appreciates ours.
The man who does as he pleases
ought not to complain if the Test OF
mankind treat him az they choose.
After a man has received two fayors
in succession he begins to consider
them part of his constitutional rights.
Next to a hen-pecked husband the
confidential worker for the average
great man merits the kind of sympathy
ness extracted.
The man who wants the earth is
generally the first to accuse its inhabi-
tants of being selfish.
Fun only seems frivolous to those
who are not IN the game.
If the old fellows were really as wild
as they hint that they were when young,
the world has greatly improved.
A joke that is not timely is one of the
most serious things on earth.
Two men are never fast friends until
one admits the others superiority.
Suicide is the highest compliment a
man can pay to the world, because he
confesses it is better than he is, and
consequently takes himself out of the
way.
Mankind thinks there is no rule with
out an exception and each individual
imagines that he is the exception.
The world seldom looks to see what
kind of tracks you left behind, provided
you only get there.
One reason why bad women are
worse than bad men is because they
get more kicks to aggravate them.
The milk Of human kindness flows
more freely when mellowed with a
trifle of stimulant.
Suspicion IS often but an outgrowth OF
a aconviction of what we would do under
like circumstances.
The millennium will have arrived when
all children are equal to the estimate
their mothers place on them.
The worst thing about our own crank
mess is that 1t is apt to impress us as
wisdom.
The best way to keep secret is to
forget that you are possessed of one.

Why Wheeling Isn't Healthful.

The Chicago Turner's having come
out against the bicycle as machine
which does not deserve endorsement
from an organization whose aim is to
encourage perfect physical develop
ment, the Madison State Journal says:
"The reason for the opposition is no
doubt because there are so many riders
who, instead of sitting up, men fashion,
expanding their lungs and riding like
gentlemen taking sensible exercise,
hump themselves over, monkey fashion,
contracting their chests, curving their
spines and acting like scared Tom cats.
That proper bicycle riding is pleasurable
and healthful there is no doubt. 1t is
the fool fellows who ride like a monkey
over stick, injuring. themselves and
terrifying every body else, that ought
to de suppressed.
