WILL BE TREMENDOUS CROP
Small Grain, Corn and Fruits Never
Looked Better in South
Dakota.

VERMILIoN, S. D., Judy 1S.-(Special.)
Samples of growing corn brought to this
city from some Of the bottom-land farms
show the stalks to be over five feet high and
already tasseled. Everything Is now in a
condition for the raising of one of the larg-
est crops of corn and small grain that Clay
county has ever seen. There has been sufl-
clent moisture to crowd everything along
fast and it would have to be a long hot
drought that would do any damage now.
The barley wheat harvest has commenced
In some localities and it is probable that
the harvest will set in earlier than usual.
Some farmers report a scarcity of hands
and there will be very few men out Of
work this fall in the county. Considerable
old corn and grain is being hauled in from
the farms to make room for the new crop.
Clay county is rapidly becoming known
for its fruit. The farmers have been set
ting out large orchards of plums, cherries
and apples, and several large fields of straw
berries and other kinds of small fruit have
been planted which are coming into mar
ket, many of them for the first time this
year. Homegrown watermelons are on
the market now and the yield will be heavy.
The cherry crop was very good and the
yield of plums will be larger than for any
year yet. Clay county farmers are feeling
good and unless something unlocked for
happens very soon, there will be a tremen-
dous crop OF everything.

CARR NEEL WINS TENNIS FINALS.
victory Entities Him to Meet Collins
for ChnmpiOnship In ingles.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Carl Neel defeated
Allen of Yale in the final in singles in the
western tennis tournament today and will
tomorrow meet Krelgh Collins for the
championship. Neel is looked upon as an
almost sure winner in the games with Col
Inns as the latter has not this year been
putting up any such game as Neel has
played throughout the tournament.
The game between Neel and Allen today
was long and hard fought, some of the sets
running up to 70 and Il before a winner
was shown. Allen played with desperation,
but Neel put up the same steady, careful
game that has carried him to victory so
many times, and Allen, although he made
q, good showing at all times, did not look
like a winner at any time. Score:
Finals in singles, the winner to meet Col
Inns for the championship: Neel beat Allen,
6-i, Ga, 2-6, 6-3. .

Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, July 1s.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram.)-Tod Sloan
and two English jockeys, Henry Robinson
and John Dalton, "A been suspended for
INSTRUMENTATION at tn. post in the Warren
Nursery stakes on Saturday. Sloan and
Robinson will BIZ on the ground until
August 10, and Dalton until July 20.
Sloan, it is announced, will take adj
vantage of his enforced vacation to make a
quick trip to America. He expects to sail
next Saturday, returning to England for
the autumn handicaps.
The suspension of the Jockeys Is gener-
ally approved by the sporting press. Con-
siderable dissatisfaction has lately cropped
up at the long delays in starting. 1t is
believed that the official starter, Mr.. Cow
entry, hitherto has bean much too lenient.
The Sportsman says:
ut has been noticed of late that Sloan
either got we'll away in front or else has
been so far behind that he really possessed
no chance The idea has been somewhat
prevalent that he has been allowed to do
things which would not be tolerated from
our own jockeys and the suspension will
do much to d!ssipate this feeling"

camp OF the outlaws, which appears to have
been their headquarters for two months
past, and found one of the outlaws horses
killed and another SO badly injured that
they shot 1t.
The body OF the outlaw McGinnis, who was
supposed to have been killed, cannot be
found. 1t is certain, however, that he is

FLIGHT OF A SCHOOL AGENT
Heavy Shortage Found In Accounts
of Graham of Chicago Board
of Education.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-William A. S. Ora
ham, ex-school agent, clerk and secretary of
the Board of Education, is a self-confessed
defaulter in the sum of 1884, 500. Positive
proof of the shortage was discovered today,
together with a letter left by MIR. Graham,
authorizing the conveyance of all his prop
erty for the purpose Of liquidating his short
age. The ex-secretary has left the city and
agents of his bondsmen, the National Surety
company of New York and the City Trust
and Safety Deposit company of Philadelphia.
who are each a surety for 500, 600, are now
endeavoring to find him.
In connection with his position with the
board he acted as school agent and handled
all the moneys of that body, amounting TO
thousands of dollars annually. All money
received from collection of rents, interest
and investments and the dividend on state
taxes was handled by Mr.. Graham.
On June II County Superintendent Auber
T.. Bright gave Mr.. Graham his check for
$50, 900, which the rules of the board required
should be deposited with the city treasurer,
upon whom all vouchers are drawn in pay
ment OF the bills against the School board.
Instead of depositing this check with the
city treasurer, Mr.. Graham took 1t to the
Chicago National bank and deposited it to
his account as school agent. On June 26
Mr.. Graham drew his check for SIS, 900 on
the Chicago National bank and deposited it
with the city treasurer to the credit of the
state dividends. The balance of the $50
600 he kept for his own use.
At the last meeting of the board Mr..
Graham failed Of reelection as secretary.
Prior to his departure Graham left a let
ter with his wife, which was addressed ITO
Whom it May Concern" This letter, ac-
cording to Attorney A.. ]. Mcmahon, the
legal adviser of the Board of Education, was
a statement Of property owned by Graham,
ostensibly, but in reality in his wife's name,
a W of attorney and authority to convey
the property for the purpose of liquidating
his Indebtedness.
IN amount of property to be turned over
by Mrs. Graham will not amount to over
$4,000. 1t is supposed that stock s%pecula-
ton was the cause Of Graham's downfall,
as 1t Is said he was operating quite heavily.
When Graham left the city he announced
that he was going to Cripple Creek, but
it is thought that he went instead to New
Orleans and is now on his way to some OF
the South American countries.
Graham was popular and had many friends,
some Of whom said today they would have
made good his shortage II he had let them
know of it.
Mrs. Graham admitted tonight that her
husband had gone to New Orleans and said
that she went with him. but her two chill
dren became i'll and she returned to Chi
cago, bringing the letter written by Gra-
ham announcing himself a defaulter. Where
her husband Is now Mrs. Graham does not
know. '.. ...

Improvement in Crop Conditions

HURON, s. D., July 1s.-(Speclal)-
Farmers In the city today from various
parts OF the county report great improve
ment in crop conditions the last five days.
Heavy rains over most of the county have
revived wheat and many fields that were
thought to be beyond recovery from Excess
sive heat and drouth now give promise of
fair yield; the heads are short but filling
solidly and the kernel is large and plump.
There are many splendid fields of wheat
scattered over the county and the yield in
dication Is far better than a week ago. I'M
provement is also very noticeable in fax and
corn, the latter being one OF the finest crops
raised In this part Of the state. Some bar
ley and rye have been harvested and are of
good quality and satisfactory yield; harvest
of these crops will be general this week.
The weather is especially favorable and
farmers are living in happy anticipation OF
a continuance of the present favorable con-
ditions for the next two weeks. So far the
county has been exempt from loss by hall.
