Two Imnromptu Jnk es.

The story goes .lat Charles Matthews,
Theodore Hook and Tom Hood were
strolling one evening on the outskirts
of London. when Hook proposed a
match as To whether he or Hood could
make the best joke on the spur of the
moment, with Matthews as umpire.
Done said Hood. Scarcely were the
words spoken when they espied a sign
board, the owner of which, wishing to
advertise that he sold beer, had I'M
luckily worded the announcement.
Bear sold here" "Oho." said Hook.
81 suppose that bear is his own bruin.'
wei DONE" cried Mathews. You'll
have hari work &c beat that, Tom"
At that moment they turned n sharp
corner. and came In sight Of a small
tumble-down house standing In the
midst OF a wretched little plot of worn
and trampled grass, just in front OF
which was displayed n huge board
with the inscription, Beware the dog"
Hood looked warily around him in all
directions, and finding no dog any
where visible, picked up n broken piece
OF brick and sc~ibbled underneath the
warning, Ware he the dog?"

Ouick Tariff Work.

The quick work done by Congress on

even the Democratic President refused

The difference between the Republic
n and Democrats In enacting Tariff
legislation In Congress is very marked
The Republicans passed the Mckinley
bill lin 16S days, and the Dingley bill in
1871 days, each bill receiving the sigma.

wasted some 800 days over the Mills

they wasted 252 days over the Cor

such an abortion that even Presiden'
Cleveland refused to sign It.

George Whitlock Goes to KiondIke
and Becomes Insane.

Deadwood, Aug. 23.-Albert Carlisle,
who has just returned from Alaska,
tells n story of n miner who was made
insane at the discovery of gold.
George Whitelock, who was once a
prospector in the Black Hills, went to
Alaska to try his fortune, and when
gold was discovered on the Klondike
he formed "A partnership with Michael
O'Neil and Richard Sargent and start
ed for the region. The trio had just
located the claim and pitchedtheirtent
when the senior member of the firm
started out to do a little prospecting.
\ few minutes later O'Neil and Sar-
gent heard him cream. Fearing that
he might be injured, they hurried to
him. He was rolling about on the
ground beside a painful of dirt he had
been washing out. A glance at the
contents showed the cause of his at
tack. 1t proved the claim to be worth
millions. The sudden realization that
he had passed from poverty to wealth
was more han Whitelock's mind
weakened by loneliness and suffering
could stand.
He has partially recovered, but is
still mentally far from sound. Min
ers who know something of such cases
say he will never be himself again.

WOMEN VETERINARY SURGEONS
Class Being Formed In the New
York College by DIR.
Leavy.

New York, Aug. 21.-Several women
will enter the New York college of
veterinary surgeons, with the view of
qualifying with the degree of D. V. S.
They will form the first woman's class
in this country, though France has one
graduate and there are a lew in Ger
many and Russia.
The names of five young women
have already been enrolled and letters
of inquiry are being received from 9TH
ers every day. DR.. Edward N. Leavey,
lecturer in hygiene and breeding and
assistant in materia medica, has been
assigned by the faculty to form the
class. He says that as far as possible
the wishes of the women would be re-
spected in the matter of having lee
lures and dissectiona apart from the
men.
In all probability the women "vets"
will confne their dissecting to cats,
dogs, and smaller ANIMALS, as it seems
that most of them wish to take up the
profession with a view to treating
household pets. In case, however, any
Of them wish to make a special study
Of the diseases of the horse, they may

Considerable excitement has been

Interest here. especially among those
who are following closely the enormous
gold developments OF the world which
have recently occurred. An eXamina-

show at a glance that the great gold
field Of Alaska, which is now being de

which produced the gold OF Peru, or

That the new Tariff Is not perfect its
authors admit. But 1t will produce ade-
quate evenue and protect our indus
tides under normal conditions. Among
It's chief glories-and one which was ac-
knowledged even by some Of those who
did not favor II, and who doubt that II
will meet the expectations Of its
friends-is that 1t Is not a sectional bin.
1t protects the people in all parts of
the country, and to the producers OF
materials which enter into the manu-
facture 1t gives protection, as we'll as to
the producers of the finished product.
1t Is q matter Of regret among leading
protectionists In Congress that the con
ference committee struck off the duty
on raw cotton. That duty would have
been an important entering wedge in
the old free trade sections of the South,
and 1t wouLl have proved most benef-
cial to the Southern people. But II
should be remembered by those South.

SOUTH DAKOTA CROP REPORT
Temperature Between the Norma
With some Frost.

'oasC
Huron, Aug. 23.-The temperature
during the week averaged considerably
below the normal, with generally cool
nights. A light frost is reported from
the vicinity of Howard. Miner county,
the morning of the 10th, when the
temperature doubtless approached
very near the light frost condition
over very much of the eastern portion
of the state.
The showers that occurred were
principally light and scattered, though
several counties received heavy rains.
Fair weather prevailed, however, and
the general conditions were very fa-
borable for the harvesting of wheat
and oats, though ~retarding ripening 10
some extent. The cool weather was
favorable for the filling Of late spring
wheat, but the damp soil promoted
weed growth to such extent that many
fields of late wheat in the central and
northern counties will he saved with
difficulty and some are ruined. There
is some report of grain sprouting and
moulding in the shock and stack be-
cause of the damp, rainy weather OF
the preceding week, but this appears
to be local. Harvesting of wheat II
oats is nearing completion in the CEN
trail and progressing well in the north
ern counties. In the southern counties
stacking is in progress and some
threshing has been done. Reports con-
tinue to indicate that the wheat yield
will be Uneven, but nearly all agree
that, generally, the quality will be very
good TO excellent and the yield for the
state a fair to good crop.
The cool nights nave not been favor
able to corn, but it has progressed
satisfactorily, the ears have been fill
ing well, and reports indicate that
growth has been but little retarded.
This crop promises well. and there is
nothing in this weeks reports to indi-
cate that a none extended frost limit
than was II ,ported las, week (Septem-
Der 5 10 l5) will be necessary before
maturity.
In the southern counties roasting
ears are plentiful and in some locali-
ties the grain is already hardening.
Potatoes have done well and some
of the earliest in southern counties are
reported ripeninp. This crop prom
Uses n fair to very good yield of good
quality.
Most reports indicate that the oats
crop is fair 10 good: barley good to
very good and rye very good.
Millet is a heavy stand generally
and that already cut has yielded heavy
tonnage and excellent quality. This
crop appears to be good generally and
the yield will probably be heavier than
Tor some years.
The prairie grass continues growing
and the soil generally is amply moist
to insure nutritious and plentiful
green pasturage until killing frost oc-
ours, the average date of which for the
state is September Is to IS.
