Summer Normal.

We had the pleasure of meeting
Bowie county's representative to-
day in the person of Hon, w. G.
RochelI, who will return to Austin
on Monday. Among other things
told us, Mr.. Rochell said he had
been working on State Superintend'
eut Kirkendall to establish a sum-
mer normal at Texarkana, for the
counties of Bowie, Cass, Marion,
Morris, Hopkins and perhaps other
near by counties, and that the sup
erintendent had promised to do so
provided the teachers of these coun.
ties favor our city. Mr.. Rochell
LAID the matter before Prof. Owens
and he or some one iterested will
have he work up the interest Of
this place and get the superintend-
ent to establish it here.
Texarkana is the logical place for
it, as we have railroads diverging
from this place and penetrating
these counties, we have any num-
Der of good private boarding houses
where the teachers can make them
selves comfortable at small cost.
Our water is good, society good,
plenty of churches of all denomi-
nations, and above all we have a
splendid brick school house which
would be gwen the normal free.
We ask our citizens to take an
interest in this matter and see that
Texarkana secures this school.

A Dogs FideIlty.

A few days ago a gentleman by
the name of Shoemaker, whs
worked at the Four c mill, con
cluded to leave the city aud take
his family with him. He sold his
furniture to Hardin Brothers, even
down to the baby buggy, but re-
tanned it to wheel the baby to the
depot, giving his word that he
would deliver it when he came
down to take the train, which he
did. The departing family owned
dog, and this dog followed
them to the depot and was aband-
Oned by them at the depot, but he
had followed the baby buggy be-
fore and knew it, perhaps, by scent,
and when it was rolled to Hardin
Brothers store, he followed 1t and
crouched under it. He was offered
food and water but would not
notice either and after two days
and two nights fasting, he was tied
with a string by boy whe coaxed
him until he could handle him and
lead him to the Hardin home, where
he will be fed ard given drink, 1t
looks like a SIN to abandon a brute
thus, when that brute has the love
of a family instilled in it as had
this dog.

There is not the slightest doubt that
the average barber shop is a means Of
disseminating many affections which q
little attention to asepsis could easily
prevent. Many forms of alopecia are
due to parasitic organisms which are
probably acquired most frequently
through the unclean interventions Of
the barber. Some ready method Of dis
injecting his tools Of trade should be
devised and it's use thoroughly en-
forced. The towels should invariably
be boiled after use, instead Of the per-
functory dampening and ironing which
is commonly employed. If such meas
ures were taken and insisted on, under
suitable penalty, trichophytosis and
kindred ailments would become rare
indeed and our dermatologists would
miss many Of the most annoying and
persistent affections which they are
now compelled to treat.-Internation

after hesitating, as one sometimes will,

"As I did SO I suddenly recognized
the very corner of my dream. I even

SOUTH DAKoTA's WHEAT YIELD.

SOUTH DAKOTA'S WHEAT YIELD.
There Will be . Falling off From the Big
Crop of 1898.
The wheat crop of the three north.
western states-Minnesota, North Da-
kota and South Dakota will aggregate
1871, 1000, 600, bushels, according to the
estimate as made by b. V. Jones, the
crop inspector of the Minneapolis
Journal, dividing the crops of the three
states as follows: Minnesota, acreage
100000, yeild, 93,0OO,OO0 bushels,
average 15a; North Dakota acreage
100000, yield e7,5oo,ooo bushels;
average 13a; South Dakota, acreage,
100000, yield 36,3oo,ooo, average II.
Last year the averages of tho three
states were respectively II, 16 and IL,
while the yields were: 100000, 900,
1000, 900, and 100000. 1t will be
noticed that South Dakota's falling of
was the least Of the three.
OF South Dakota's crop Mr.. Jones
has this to say: "The South Dakota
wheat yield is somewhat in doubt.
This estimate calls for state average
Of eleven bushels, or 36,000,000 in all.
One or two state estimates place the
yield at 30,000,O0O, which may be
nearer the truth, because of injury
from hot weather after my observations
were made, but using an acreage of
$500, 600, which is about the govern
ment figure, it does not seem unreason-
able to expect an average yield of
eleven bushels.
"Some counties will raise more wheat
than last year, some less. Codington
county, for instance, has raised more
wheat than last year, because OF: fre E.
dom from hail loss and increased yield
in the western townships, where the
average yield was low last year.
Brown county will probably average
about nine bushells, which is not very
different from the usual result in that
section. The poor wheat counties in
the Jim valley will average about six
bushels, which is usual result, leav-
ing that section about on par with
recent reasons, Some of the southern
counties will fall little short of the
record made last year, whom their
average was close to sixteen bushels.
An estimate from Yankton from q
source that has been found quite reli-
able in the past, places the yield of the
state at 100000 bushels less than
last year, due to the breaking of straw
and crinkling in the week before ha, :
vest. 1t would seem, after quite care
full investigation, that this is too liberal
an allowance for decreased yield from
last year. South Dakota fields were
badly broken in the straw, but har-
vesters cleaned the fields nicely, so
that the loss from broken straw must
be light, The heads had matured well
before breaking.
'The state certainly has some hand.
some wheat. Minnehaha county, for
instance, showed east of Hortford but
few weak places. The county must
produce q good average. In some Of
the counties south, where the yield is
usually high, there will be smaller
average. McCook county has probably
increased the yield of last year: the
hills about Arlington have produced
less; Grant county should yield up to
last year, and probably show gain.
Taking all these considerations into
account, South Dakota should harvest
on the average ii bushels per acre."
