While down in Chas. Mix county
last week G. E. Vermilyea says that
the farmers are greatly excited over
the possibility of the Milwaukee road
extending its line through that county
to the Missouri. This railroad, he
learned, had purchased large guam
tity of land in that county and it had
started pretty strong suspicion among
the people that there WAS little room
for doubt but what the Milwaukee,
intentions were legitimate.
There wasn't much difference be-
tween the July weather of 1898 and
1899, and to show the little difference
the record of several days is given.
The hottest day in July, 1898 was the
30th, temperature 80, and the coolest
was the Goth, temperature 46; rainfall
for the month was 1882 inches. In July
1899, the warmest day was the 25th,
temperature 9S; the coolest day was
the 29th, temperature As; rainfall for
the month was 402 inches. The
moisture this year was more evenly
distributed during July.
A Washington special to the outside
papers states that the war department
is in receipt OF cablegram from Gen.
Otis at Manila that the South Dakots
regiment would sail on the transport
Sheridan for San Francisco on Aug. 8,
and the boys will probably arrive a,
the western point about the middle o1
September. In the matter of sailing
the South Dakota regiment takes
precedence over the 18th Minnesota
which was due to leave Manila ahead o1
our regiment but for some reason our
boys were given the preference. Twenty
five South Dakota boys landed at Sar
Francisco Wednesday, having returned
on the Relief hospital ship. W. r
Bartlett, Co. F., who resides at Webs
ter, died on the ship at sea- His re
mains were embalmed and taken tt
San Francisco.
