Young Farmer in Yankton County

of Inexcusablc Carelessness of His
Companion.

A shooting affair took place in Victor
Township, Yankion County, which nearly
resulted in the death of Claus Anderson,
ana was the result OF moro than criminal
carelessness. a party of young men had
gathered for game OF cards, when an
other comrade, who had been rabbit hun-
ing, walked in and laid his rifle down,
throwing some cartridges OH a stand, say
ing that no one should handle the weapon.
No sooner had he left than up jumped one
of the party, picked up the rifle. and put
ting in a cartridge leveled it at Mr.. Ander-
son and bade him hold up his hands. In
the excitement his finger struck the trigger
and it was discharged, the ball striking un-
der Mr.. Anderson's eye, taking a down
ward course through the roof of his mouth,
and lodged in the right cheek. The blast
of powder ruined the eye forever, and had

Thieves broke into the home of George

OF creamery, and his house has repeat.

He became desperate and determined tc
try some other method of putting stor

up what he termed an ''infernal machine'
and 1t worked to perfection, and tile last
raid made ON his place will be enough fo,
the thieves, whoever they are.
Stealing has become so frequent of late
that some stringent methods will have to
be adopted to eXterminate it. Reports are
numerous telling of petty thefts, and some
OF more serious nature. Grain, cattle,
pigs, vegetables taken from cellars, har-
ness. horse blankets, buggies. ets., are
among the things stolen OF recent report.
Country and towns are being worked alike.
The vision of prison cells do not seem to
disturb the thieves, and it is no wonder
that the people resort to desperate means
to protect property and rights.

Formation of Coral Islands.

Prof. Alexander Agassiz, who has
been investigating the coral islands of
the South Pacific, has returned after
an expedition lasting several months,
with observations that tend to disprove
several of the older theories of the for.
nation of the coral islands and reefs.
Prof. Agassiz states that in his opinion
the coral forms crust on some noun
tain that has sunk into the sea or on
some volcanic pile, and in proof of this
opinions presents the results of borings
which in nearly every case found the
coral to be a comparatively thin layer.
The sand, mixing with the coral, makes
the reefs. and instead of coral being
made, sinking, and then being replen.
lshed indefinitely from the surface,
Prof. Agassiz considers it mere can
to submerged mountains and volcanic
upheavals.

NOT ALWAYS CHOLERA.
= Cause for Loss of Hogs Frequently
Is Ill Diagnosed.

Is Ill Diagnosed.
The financial loss in Union County from
disease designated hog cholera by many
has been very great. In conversation with
Mir. Kyle of Sphinx, who has made q care-
tul study OF this matter, we are told in
many cases the disease is not cholera at
all, but lung trouble or quick consumption.
He says hogs should have Il good, warm
place to nest, with dry straw aud not a
wet manure pile. In The morning when
they come out to eat they should be shielded
from the cold winds. Then again, there
should be platform, especially in wet
weather, upon which to throw the corn,
and not throw it in the mud and manure.
Corn ground and cooked goes one-third
further than ear corn. lie says that hogs
that come out of a steaming manure pile
into the cold wind for their morning meal
are sure to chill and lung trouble results.

Commander Rassieur Urges Them to
Join the G. A. X.
Commander-in-chief Leo Rassieur of
the Grand Army of the Republic has is
sued an address to veterans, in which he
urges those who fought in the Civil War
but who are at present outside the ranks
of the Grand Army of the Republic to
join the organization. The address reads
as follows:
THE nineteenth century is thing of
the past, and of all the agencies which
have been effective in givingsit promi-
nence and character in the worlds his
tory none will stand superior to the
Grand Army of the Union, out of which
the Grand Army of the Republic was re-
cruited, which triumphed in the greatest
war of all times. preserved this govern
ment and nation with the principle of per-
petuity indelibly impressed upon it for all
future time by the costly sacrifices of the
army, and then manifested the greatcst
civic qualities of the American citizen
in the teaching of patriotism and in the
Industrious pursuit of all honorable activ-
tiles which could possibly aid in the adj
vancement of our great country.
The record of the past is as nearly
perfect as fallible humanity could make
it. The twentieth century. which so many
have been spared to witness. requires
from us as foundation for it's success
and greatness the same unseliish services
the same faithful conduct and the same
unstinted devotion to duty and country
The responsibility rests with us, and must
be cheerfully borne by us. Organization
is MS necessary now as it ever was to ac-
cOmplish the best results. Zach comrade
must be in our organization if he desires
to do his full duty. The burden ceases
to be n burden when borne by all. Those
entitled to membership who remain out
side of our ranks are untrue to their past
history.
Let the comrades bring these facts
home to those who are not with lis in the
doing of the great work assumed by us
in taking care of the needy veteran and
of the dependent widow"
