IL Was n Mistake,

Sioux Falls, July 15.-The publish
ers of the Sioux Falls Press deny that
there is to be n change of business
managers. They say that Fred Buch-
anan, who is now in charge, is entirely
satisfactory. The report that Geo. w.
Kingsbury of Yankton, was to succeed
Mr.. Buchanan, was originated in
Yankton and the publishers say is enc
tirely without foundation.

Railway construction is still at n
|standstill in this country. In the last
six months the new track laid barely
exceeds 100 miles per month. This is
even less than last year, but n little
more than in 1894. Pennsylvania built
just six miles per month during this
period, and Louisiana led the list OF
states with III miles. Unless some
new projects are speedily gotten un-
der way this will probably be the
lightest year of railway construction
since the country went into the bust

Love.

Lofty temples have been raised
For love,
Dying embers oft have blazed
For love:
Men have fought and men have bled,
Rushing rivers have run red,
Earth been strewn with piles of dead,
All for love.
Deathless songs have been composed
For love;
Mighty plots have been exposed.
For love;
Glorious palace pillars stand.
Jewels blaze on many a hand,
Fools are thick in every land.
All for love.

actress acquires by posing for the
Montana statue, of solid silver exhibit

ed by several wealthy capitalists to
furnish such a statue for exhibition at

sent Of President Mckinley to pose
for the figure.
"This statue, from its base up, will
contain bullion to the value Of 81 ,05O,-

designed primarily to first exhibit this
statue at Paris in 1900, the directors
Of the Pan-Amerioan Exposition, to.

have it completed in time for exhibit.

cause the moulding and rotting of the

But in the King variety this trouble
is, in large measure, overcome.
Owing to the natural habits Of the
plant, dwarf growth. and early maturi
ty, the stalk does rot grow as large
under same conditions. 1t puts-on
more fruit to the size than any other
variety Of which L have any knowl-
edge, and while the foliage is all sufi-
cient to give the stalk heavy growth,
yet this foliage is not so dense, even
under the stimulus Of high cultiva-
tion. and this year [ noticed but very
little trouble on account of tAe retting
Of the early holls.
This year the cotton on tAe acre re-
ferred to above bloomed at least two
weeks earlier than ordinary varieties.
1t has been. earlier every year. 1t has
also matured earlier. Heretofore I
have neglected the deep. furrow al
ready described. The effect of that
furrow has certainly been most notice
able. The cotton kept on maturing
almost as late as other varieties, and
I think the deep fursow was largely
the cause of it. The furrow deepens
the feeding roots and gives greater vi
tality.
Then another thing. Although /
have referred to this cotton as dwarf
variety, I wish to be understood only
that it has dwarf tendencies and char
acteristics under ordinary cireum-
stances. During the present fall [

In conclusion, letme say also that [
