al, copious rains occurred over mos.

stacked. T~hreshing, the completion OF
the a harvest, corn cutting and crib
ping, haying and blowing were de-
layed; but some threshing and blowing
was done the latter part of the week.
The corr crop is generally we'll ma
tured. While the frost on the 18th and
18th injured some OF the latest corn
over limited areas, so that a small per,
centage OF the crop may be soft, the
oamage to the whole was slight, ex
cept in the loss of fodder. as, had the
frosts not occurred when they did. con,
siderable more Of the late corn would
have been cut in time to save the fod-
der. Considerably above half a crop
OF corn is estimated, and much of II is
very good.
"Haying continues when the weather
permits. Fall pasturage Is generally
reported good, and the outlook for WIN
ter pasturage and water on the ex-
tensive cattle range west Of the Ms
souri, river, is reported as being the
best for a number Of years.
THE Potato crop is,on the whole,
matured, and digging is in progress,
and, while light, the crop will be some
what better than anticipated. Fears
are expressed, however, that the ex-
cessive rains may cause some injury
to quality on heavy soil before the crop
Ia gathered.
while there is still a little fax to be
cut, the harvesting of this crop is about
completed, and on the whole, the yield
will likely be light to fair, with much of
the seed damaged in quality.
Some winter rye was sown during
the week on %uplands. That previously
sown is generally in a very thrifty con.
dition.
"The soil is empty moist generally
for fall blowing. and this work will
probably be pushed vigorously as COR
as the weather permits"

""roarous Treatment OF a Fellow

"ell' a student in the preparatory de-
partnent OF Beloit college, was enticed
from his room at the house of Presi-
ueht Eaton at an early hour yesterday
morning by members Of the middle pre-
paratory class. He was overpowered,
Invested Of every article OF clothing
ana compelled to walk ahead OF a score
Oh howling student, aided by the appli-
cation of switches in the hands OF his
tormentors. His clothing was fastened
10 the top of a lagpole, and after he
hao been sufficiently disciplined" he
was allowed to go home to plan re-
Vehge. The outrage is the climax of a
number of class fights this year in
winch the worst punishment inflicted
heretofore was compelling students to
walk into town after having been driv-
en- tar into the country. The faculty

the fact that the perpetrators of the

How n woman Choose. Her seat.

seven women, and they all sat in a row
on the right-hand side OF the car. II
was just about the hour in the morn

to do their shopping. Three men got
in, and they sat on the left-hand side.
"A couple of blocks farther down I
picked up another woman. and, instead
OF taking a yacant seat lear the door
on the side, the side the other women
were sitting. as / thought she would
do, she walked the entire length of this
car and sat down beside one OF the
men. This bit OF eccentricity puzzled
me until / went to collect her fare, and
then l discovered that she was left
