An Unfortunate Occurrence.

A. Workman met with sad mis-
fortune while at work at the smelter
Monday forenoon. He entered the
employ of the company Monday
morning and at the time of the de-
plorable accident was assisting in
the erection of the smokestack at
the top of the hill. By means of a
derrick the stone was being hoisted
into place and during this process
the timbers forming the derrick
spread, one of them falling with
terrific force, and crushing the foot
and leg Of Mr. Workman below the
knee.
Medical aid was at once summoned
and alnputation was made in the
afternoon. At present Mr.. Work
man is doing as well as could be ex-
pected. He has the sympathy of the
entire community in his misfortune.

threatened with annihilation by the

threatened with annihilation by the
cut.
1t will not do for the public to
think for a moment that it is the
gamer by the reduction in the price
of sugar. For awhile sugar will be
lower-just as long as the capital
Of the beet men holds out. The new
industry once crushed, prices will
return to the abnormal level of the
trust.
This annhilation of the beet-sugar
manufacturer is entirely possible.
1t has taken long years of patient
and costly experiment, to prove the
feasibility of making sugar out OF
beets in sufficient quantities to pay
both the farmer and the retiner. The
government has aided in the work
making liberal appropriations for
the propagation of new varieties.
BY thus forcing the issue on the
public the Sugar Trust encourages
a spirit of antagonism where there
should be the calmest deliberation
The problem OF controlling trusts
and monopolies should not be a po
litical question, but one of broad
policy. By this warranted cut in
a restricted territory that is en-
deavoring to create new and profit
able product for the farmers, the
Sugar Trust arousas an animosity
that would be lacking but for its
own action and other actions of a
similar kind.

The Trusts War in Sugar Beets,

when the public is celebrating upon
the best manner in which to curb
monopolies the Sugar Trust throws
down the gauntlet for war that
cannot but harm everybody con,

and Stockman. Yet that is what
Mr.. Hayemeyer and associates have
done in trying to kill the beet-sugal
industry in the middle and western
states.
According to the dispatches, the
Sugar Trust has cut the price per
pound of its product from 5.03 cents
to 81 cents to all Missouri River
points, the only territory in which
beet sugar is a serious competitor
It is said that the business of the

BLOWN TO ETERNITY.
Three Men Lose Their Lives in the
Holy Terror Mine.

The Holy Terror mine at keystone
vas the scene of terrible accident
Tuesday afternoon, in which three
men lost their lives and three seri-
ously injured. The misfortune was
carsed by the explosion of an air
compressor in the 1200-foot level OF
the mine, the six men being precipi-
tated into twelve feet of water below
The three dead are Louis Crouter,
Andrew Miller and Peter Pail
man. Those injured are S. r. Tren-
grove, superintendent, Frank Bea-
die, foreman, and another man by
the name of Davis. 1t is thought
all thee will recover. Two of
the dead men were married.
Coroner Paxson was telephoned
for and left for Keystone yesterday
for the purpose OF holding an inquest.
The personal attacks upon and
false statements being made as to
the official record of Judge Levi Nc
Gee by the opposition press ought
to have no weight with thinking peo-
pie. Such tactics have long been
characteristic Of Judge McGee's op-
ponent all along and are SO we'll
known throughout the circuit as to
have little or no effect upon people
who respect decency and honesty.

HERE ANDTHERE

The biggest orchard in South Dakota
is owned and managed by Mrs A. AL
derman. It covers $50 acres, and con-
tains 5000 trees, besides currant and
gooseberry bushes and grapevines, and
three acres of strawberries.
According to the latest issue of the
Nome Gold Digger to reach the United
States. "tacks have advanced to SO a
pound; eggs to 50 a dozen, though eff
forts have been made to raise the price
to $3.50. There are plenty of them.
Ham was long since out" The Gold
Digger is printed in red ink and sells
for 25 cents copy.
The famous Blue Grotto of Capri has
now a rival in the State of Minnesota.
1t occurs in a lake on the shore Of
which there is cavern of white lime
stone flooded with water. A swimmer
entering the cave and turning to look
outwards sees the most beautiful shades
Of green and blue in the water, and a
silvery sheen over his submerged limbs.
London walters and Mattresses have
organized themselves into a sort Of
union and now demand rs cents an
hour for regular work, 35 cents an hour
for all over eight hours and so cents an
hour between 1 and o'clock in the
morning, and no waiter to work over
10 hours day. An ultimatum protests
against "the degrading and demoraliz-
ing system of tips upon which the wait
ers have to depend. 1t is a system of
cadging which destroys our manhood,
is an unfair tax upon the public and
places the poor man at disadvantage
in public places"

1t Is one thing to keep an old animal
that has been the pride and pet Of the
family for years after it has ceased tc
be profitable and another to keep one
that is not and never was able to earn
its keeping. Yet while not many farm.
ers feel able to do the former for senti.
ment's sake there are hundreds who
are doing the latter from no other rea.
son than an objectionable ignorance
as to the cost of keeping and the actual
results received from the animal. The
Babcock test is doing much to weed out
some of the Improbable cows when
used in connection with the regular
weighing of the milk, but other ami.
mails need to be looked after. Sheep
need to be culled carefully every year,
and those that do not produce and
bring up good lambs and good shear.
ing of wool should be fitted for mutton
There is many man who keeps a
horse when he could hire one to do the
work he has for him at less than the
cost of feeding and others who keep
two though one could do the work ex.
cepting during a few days in the year.
Weed out the Improbable animals
even If obliged to kill and bury them
They may do the world some good in
that way.-American Cultivator.

ers have the erroneous idea that the
we'll bred animal is luxury that can
only be afforded by the rich. 1t is true
that the training of pure bred stock for
show involves a more or less elaborate
equipment and compels the eXpendi-
Dture of much money. 1t is also true
that many men of large means engage
in blood stock breeding upon an ex-
travagant basis.
The fact remains nevertheless that
the average farmer can handle well
bred live stock at a relatively greater
profit than the so called professionals"
and is blind to his own best interest if
he neglects to maintain some suitable
variety as a leading feature of his
farming operations. These truisms
have been reiterated in these columns
so often that it may seem idle to repeat
them here. At the same time the point
is one of such supreme Importance that
it cannot too often be discussed.
Animals of good form and quality are
always salable, and there is no farmer,
however moderate his means, but can
improve the type of his cattle, his
sheep, his hogs or his horses in one gen.
Grafton by resorting to the use Of
pure bred male. Females can be sent
for service to some good sire in the
neighborhood if it is not d&erSSd eXpe.
dent to buy one. WherN ..1.oSe is a
wish to improve way can always be
found to make beginning. The desire
to rear good stock instead of scrubs"
must first exist. The means of attain
ing that end will readily present them
selves if honestly sought.
1t is all well enough, for example, to
ship in feeding cattle from a distance,
but why maynot the farmers of the corn
and blue grass belt carry good herds
of cows and rear still better grade
Of calves than can usually be bought
on the range or in central markets?
Buyers are securing the country for
good young steers and cannot find
them. Why do not farmers breed to fill
this steady demand? 1t will commonly
pay any careful farmer to buy a few
registered COWS or heifers and breed
them to pedigreed bulls of the same
type. One does not need to wait until
able to purchase large lot. One or
two good pure bred heifers properly
handled will soon grow into money.
And so with sheep or any other variety
of the domestic animals. Few farmers
are rich enough to afford the luxury of
scrubs" They should not be tolerated
on any land that grows good crops.
