What Has Been Done by Man Over
In Turner County.
Several months ago reference was
made in these columns to the success
attained by F. B. Angel, of Dawson
county, in growing apples. Last week
the state horticultural society met at
Yankton and l.. W. Alderman, of
Turner county, talked to the Yankton
Press and Dakotan reporter about his
apple orchard at home and said:
I'VE sold 5000 bushels of apples this
year. We sent 200 barrels of the best
apples ever seen in Sioux City, to that
market in October," said Mr.. Alder

is to cheap to be profitable, because it
can be raised in vast abundance in the
north regions where fruit trees and
corn will not thrive in the short grow

conditions. Fruit growing is no longer
an experiment here and we will live to
see all the corn belt alive with orchards

quite successful with its show and had
about 600 birds on exhibition, many of
which came from various parts of the
state. Secretary Nielsen is confident
that there will be 1000 blrds shown at
the coming meeting.
1t is the object at this exhibition to
organize state association and special
efforts will be made to secure the at

than that they wrote to the depot quar-

A Young Girl Hung Herself Near Mt.
Vernon Friday Afternoon.
Word was received from DR.. Smiley,
of Mt. Vernon, late Friday evening,
that young girl named Katie Heidin-
ger had committed suicide by hanging
and requested Coroner Daniels to 20
out and hold an inquest. DIR. Daniels
and Sheriff Cook left for Mr.. Heidin-
gers home about 8 o'clock this morn
ing.
Mr.. Heioinger lives miles south of
Mt. Vernon aud with Ed. Bielfeldt
came 70 Mitchell this afternoon to
secure casket for interment of the
body Of his daughter, and from him we
learned what they knew of the unfor-
tunate incident. Mr.. Heidinger said
that the girl was left alone at home in
the morning. as be and his wife went
away and the two boys had gone to
school, a short distance away from
their home. At noon the two boys
came for dinner and Katie met them
at the door and appeared to be perfect
ly happy. After dinner the boys re-
turned to school and as the session
closed early they got back home about
$3.50 o'clock. On entering the house
they called for their sister but received
no response and after looking around
the house finally concluded to go out
and do their chores. On going to the
barn horrible sight met their gaze.
From one of the rafters hung the life
less body of their sister with q rope
around her neck, the toes of her shoes
barely touching the barn floor. 1t was
evident from the girls position that
she stood on the manger. fastened the
rope to rsfter or beam and then
jumped.
Mr.. Heidenger said he could assig n
no cause for the act of his daughter,
and that they had found nothing that
would give them the slightest clew for
suspecion. She has appeared to be
in the best OF health and spirits and
had even arranged to drive down into
Douglas county tomorrow with a young
man named Fred Broadway to spend
| Christmas with his sister, the couple
being engaged and contemplated being
married in about six weeks. Mr.
Heidinger felt very sorrowful over the
unfortunate affair and it was with
great difficulty he could control hif
feelings while relating the facts above
DR.. A. 81. Daniels, coroner, and
Sheriff Cook arrived home late Satur
day afternoon from Union township
where they were called to investigate

wholly unnecessary to impanel jury
on the case.
Funeral services over the remaint
were held at Mr.. Heidinger's home

THE CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION.

The Churches and Sunday Schools Made
the Young People Happy.
Christmas has come and gone, but
the pleasures of the day, the incidents
leading up to the purchase and making
of presents will be more lasting in
memory. The weather was all that
could be desired, il pleasant weather
was really wanted, for the day was
as mild as fall day, but generally the
average person would welcome some
thing blustery, accompanied by snow,
enough at least to make Christmas the
reality as it is depicted in pictures of
snow and ice and the jingle of sleigh
bells. The bicycle, however took the.
place OF the sleigh this year. Nearly
every church in the city provided .
Christmas entertainment for the chill
dren and the audiences on each occas-
ion tested the seating capacity of the
rooms. The exercises were ali held
Saturday evening.
ST. Mnry's Episcopal church was the
first Christmas exercises, which were
held at the church Saturday afternoon
ats o'clock. Appropriate songs and
recitations we're given by the Sunday
school scholars and then the happy
time came for the distribution of the
remembrances from the tree, which
was performed by Rev j. H. Babcock,
amid the happy chatter of the little
folks. 1t was joyous occasion in all
respects.
Over at the Congregational church
the little folks had a very pleasant en-
tertainment. The church was tastily
decorated with evergreen and holly
and two trees in the recess of the church
presented an inviting appearance to
the children. Mrs. G. R. Owen con-
Quoted the exercise, which consisted OF
songs and recitations, and the lulliby
song by four little tots was very cap
tivating, as was the hoop song and
drill by ten girls. The exercises were
very nice indeed and closed with the
distribution of presents.
There was a large gathering of young
and old at the Baptist church Christ.

stood on the platform and an arch was

WALL STREET.
Outburst of Enthusiasm Over
Stocks by Public Prepared for.
Large Operators Fed the Eager Demand
Of Outsiders Quite Freely.

New York, Nov. 11.-Wall street was
prepared for an outburst of enthusiasm
over stocks on the part of the general
public after yesterdays ebullient en-
thusiasm on the part of the street it.
self.
The grangers, the Northern Pacific
and the leading southern railways
opened higher. The publics enthusiasm
had apparently induced it TO pace
large orders to buy stocks at the OPEN
ing. The foresight of the large oper-
ators in making the opening level a
high one, was thus justified, and they
fed the eager demand of outsiders
quite freely.
Prices, however, were fairly we'll
maintained in the first hour. But in
spite of the violent activity of the mar
ket, it soon became evident that the
supply of stocks was fully equal to the
demand. Room traders detected evil
dences of realizing by large interests
and commenced to sell the market with
quite marked effect on the CHANGERS.
This had the effect of checking activi-
ty and the market fell into dizziness
until it received renewed impetus from
the strength of special stocks. The
shorts in Sugar became nervous as a
result of the high loaning rate for the
stocks, and covered some heavy lines
raiding the price 3-S.
Union Pacific preferred was pushed
up to SO IA Brooklyn Transit above So,
and Peoples Gas above 107. Prices
generally rose to near the best again
in sympathy with this movement and
invited renewed buying for outside ac-
count. But the level was not main
tanned in the last hour, when call
money was marked up to 2 IL per cent
and prices fell away throughout the
list. Earlier gains were practically
wiped out in the Changers, the Pacifics
except Union Pacific preferred, the
southern stocks and many specialties
including Federal Steel
Atchison preferred, which was again
the leader of the market, showed more
substantial opposition to the decline
than many other stocks. Dealing in all
of the Atchison securities was on an
enormous scale, and was accompanied
by reports of the early entry into the
directory of a financial interest largely
dominant in Rock Island. There was
an unexplained advance of 2 IL points
in Central Pacific, which was not i'm
properly connected with the coilci-
dent strength of Union Pacific pre-
ferred. Pacific Mail also advanced, no
tably on account of increased earnings.
The decline of the last hour was ac-
companied by activity, indicating dis
position towards liquidation.

AT PRINCETON.
Little Betting But Many
Alumni on Hand.

Princeton, n. j., Nov. 1.-THE Tigers
surprised nearly everybody by taking
a lively practice on Brokaw field for a
few minutes against the scrub today.
The secret signal work of yesterday
was deemed insufficient by the coaches
and they wanted another chance to per-
feet the plays that Yale will see for the
first time. Just the coaches and the fifty
men appointed to guard the field from
the inquisitiye were all that saw the
last work of the '9S team before their
final effort. No risks We're taken with
the men and the scrubs were in line
only for the purpose of making a mark
for the Tigers. The varsity got their
bearings, executed the trick plays and
nobody was hurt.
Already the town is filling up with
alumni, friends of the students and
their fair ones; vendors are beginning
to sell their wares, and the chrysanthe-
mum has made its appearance. There is
little betting, as Princeton wants big
odds
