SOUTH DAKOTA WHEAT CROP
H. V. Jones, the Minneapolis Journal
Expert, Gives The State Crop
of 100000 Bushels.

According to the estimate of 81. V.
Jones, the Minneapolis Journal expert
crop reporter, South Dakota will raise
80, 900, 900 bushels of wheat this year,
which is 5000, 900 bushels less than last
year. The state puts forth q fairly
good crop of wheat. Mr.. Jones esti-
mates the Minnesota crop at 100000 900
bushels, d falling off of Is, 100000 BUSH
els over last year. The North Dakota
crop he places at 24,oo0,OO0 bushels,
which is decrease of 46,OOO,OOO bush
els over last year. Concerning the
wheat crop of this state Mr.. Jones
makes the following statement in his
article:
"South Dakota's wheat crop will
average around eight bushels. The
half of the state north of the line from
Brookings to Huron will average con-
servatively about five bushels; the half
south will average ten to fifteen. This
| is a general division that is conser.
vative.
| 'Some of the northern counties felt
| the drouth as severely as over the line
in North Dakota. The Eureka district,
west of Aberdeen, will have return OF
only bushel or two. Brown county
will average about five bushels. 1t will
range from an uncut acreage to fifteen
to twenty bushels for an occasional field.
There is considerable wheat running
from six to ten bushels in the county.
The other northern counties will
average five to eight bushels.
Sphinx will go five or a little better.
There are good fields in Sphinx coun-
ty. The Woonsocket district will
raise more wheat than last year. Lake
county will average about six bushels,
Miner four, Brookings four or five
The southern counties will yield hand
somely. as high as thirty bushels being
frequent for fields and twenty common.
The Mitchell district has good aver.
age yield. Duel county has some fine
wheat.
"An article published this week in
Aberdeen, on the South Dakota yield
based on the census of ten years ago
could not easily be more misleading
1t is based on an error to begin with
hence all the conclusions are wrong.
"South Dakota has crop Of excel
lent quality taking the whole area
The storm in the Scotland Yanktor
district destroyed considerable wheat.

Thinks a Street Fair Better.

Kimball Graphic: Mitchell is to
have corn palace this year. Corn and
grain palaces as means OF attracting
crowd are played out. If Mitchell
wants to get crowd entertain it and
get its money back. il wants to put on a
two davs street fair. The town is Just
the right size for such feature and its
principal business street splendidly
adapted to it.

Tonlng Is an operation which is beset
by many rltEalls, OF which red spots
and uneven tonlns are perhaps the most
troublesome. The combined bath is
convenient. but there is a belief among

process are not permanent. The begin

passing interest in photography should
adopt the separate gold beth at once.
This bath should be mixed some hours
before using. otherwise the gold will

Pittsburgh Times: Albert Nelson, Of
Yankee Dam, West Virginia, is at the
Seventh Avenue hotel Mr.. Nelson
laughlngly commented last night on
the establishment Of the average hotel
clerk when he for the first time reads
the name Of that city on the register.
Mr.. Nelson said the town received It's
name in peculiar manner. The little
city is located on one of the smaller
tributaries Of the Ohio which traverse
the state Of West Virginia. Shortly
after the war when the prosperous
town was only a hamlet with few
houses and was yet awaiting n name, a
syndicate Of northern capitalists, in
small way, purchased land and began
the erection Of mill. At the same
time, the building OF a dam across the
small stream was begun to furnish
power, The dam and the mill were fin
ished at about the same time. The
mill was placed in operation, Just before
the sprinR freshet. After the freshet,
there was a mill, but no dam. The
swollen stream had sent the dam down
the Ohio. and II Ia believed that II is
SIN somewhere In the Gulf Of Mexico.
The men OF the north with money, but
with no knowledge OF southern strains.
were disgusted and discouraged and
abandoned the place after selling the
mill for n song. Since that time the
town has been known rs Yankee
Dam" The bailiwlck boasts but one
church and one minister. The clerical
gentleman Ia not pleased with the
name of the place and has all his mail
addressed to Yankee Darn" He gets
his mail regularly.

The Entire Ticket of the Nationalist
Elected In Havana-Perfect Order
at the Polls.

Havana, June 18.-Gen. Alexandra
Rodriguez, nationalist, has been elect
ed mayor of Havana, polling 1903
votes, against 6,O34 cast for Senior Els
trada Mora, independent. The total
vote fell about $500 below the regis
tration. The national party elected
it's entire ticket, IS councilmen, the
treasurer, one correctional judge and
three municipal judges. The other
correctional judgeship fell to an in
dependent candidate as did also the
fourth municipal judgeship. Of the
six other councilmen four are repub-
licans and two nationalist, who ran
independently.
Reports from every part of the is
land go to show that perfect order
prevailed at the polls. To an Ameri-
can observer OF the election here it
seemed as if the people regarded the
whole matter with absolute indiffer-
ence. There was not even a crowd in
waiting to hear the result declared.
Not a cheer was raised, nor were
there any of the ordinary indications
of election excitement.

TICKETS FOR CONVENTION.
Kansas City Will Receive Only SOO-Gener-
Number of Seats Will Re Set
Apart for Country Editors.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 18.-The
democratic national subcommittee
decided that Kansas City should re.
ceive only 500 admission tickets to
the national convention. This is a
great disappointment. In Philadel-
phia the local committee was given
$500 tickets. AS Kansas City con-
tributed about 100000 to get the con-
vention it was thought the national
committee would be more liberal in
providing the city tickets.
There is to be a generous number
of seats set apart for the country and
visiting newspaper men who are not
included in the $50 seats for the
working newspaper men. 1t was the
unanimous opinion of the sub-commit-
tee that the country editors must be
cared for and that the committee
would be under obligations to see
that visitors from distant states be
given seats in the hall. They figured
that no less than 1880 and possibly
1000 seats would be needed at every
session for the country newspaper
men and they will be held for them.
None of the tickets will be given out
before July 3.
