The result Of the town election is
hard to predict. II the Democrats
turn out and vote there is no doubt
that their ticket will be elected, but il
they become over confident and do not
go to the polls the Republicans will Ike
In charge of all the town offices. In a
local election politics should be layed
aside and the best men placed in Office,
but in this election there seems to be
very little choice and the political COM
plexion of the two SETS of candidates
will probably control. The adminis-
tration of the towns affairs requires
thorough business methods and should
be placed in charge Of business men,
capable of conducting all matters OH an
economical and judicious basis, one
that will not plunge the town into debt
and make special assessment neces-
sary. While such all assessment would
not fall very heavily upon any certain
individual 1t can and should be avoided
by the board OF trustees. No personal
malice or ill-fceling should he thought
Of but the future welfare of the town
should control every vote. Let every.
body see to it that they are registered
and vote.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
SOUTH DAKOTA EVENTS IN a
CONDENSED FORM.
This State Expects to Lead in Gem
eral Average OF Crops This Year
Wheat Crop Estimated Mt 49,
5000 Bushels.

South Dakota will this year take her
place at the head of the column of states
for the highest general a~verage-taking
them t0gether-0f crops, including corn,
wheat, oats, flax, barley, rye and hay.
Corn in Iowa will average better than in
South Dakota, but wheat here will aver
age better han in Iowa. Winter wheat
in Kansas will give a greater average yield
than in South Dakota, yet corn here will
average far above that in Kansas, and the
South Dakota hay crop is unquestionably
better than in any of the other states.
A. c. johnson of the Chicago and North
western Railway, after carefully eNamin-
ing wheat fields along that line Of roal in
this state, and from the most reiiabie i'll
formation Obtainable estimated tile wheat
crop in South Dakota this year at 3j,OO0,-
COO bushels. Col. John ii. King OF Huron
places the total yield not far below 45,O0o,-
GOO bushels. The yield, he says, will he
much lighter than it would have been had
the favorable weather conditions which
prevailed up to July l continued. He gives
the oat crop as the largest and bes! the
state ever produced. Barley is shunllen IA
little, but it is unusually bright and har-
vested in fine condition. Rye and tiaN will
yield we'll; the latter is not yet iaa,ured,
but it is doing we'll and is fast filling. The
hay crop in the Jim River valley is simply
enormous; as far west as Hyde County
and north to Faulk County the crop is so
otherwise used.
An especially interesting fact is that in
1900 Beadle County had the best corn crop
will be nearly if not twice as large as
luot ,ynor Tho CANAAN ic ol.nJ1f t!OIshIn
and in many sections the yielt promises
to be far in excess of last year. A year
ago Col. King made careful investigation
of the corn crop lii Beadle County and
estimated the total yield a 651,0O0 bushels,
but his estimate was too iow-tle crop
gathered was nearly 100000 bushels.
This year the crop in the extreme south
western part of the state will not be as
good as last year, it being on the border
of the drouth stricken portions OF. Iowa
and Nebraska, but i'll the central portion
of the state the crop will lie superior to
that of last year. The 'scorn belt" actual
ly moved west and north this year at least
so miles. Beadle County was the limit of
the good corn section last year, but the
line now extends to the northern portion
of Sphinx County and west to the west line
of Hyde and Faulk Counties. Corn in all
parts of Hand Comfy this year will be as
good as it was in Beadle County last year.
1t Is hut fair to say that this years corn
crop extends to and includes Sphinx and
Hand Counties as we'll as Faulk and Hyde
Counties; in Sully and Hughes Counties
the crop is better than last year-the acre
age is light, but is increased over last year.
Col. King expresses the belief that the
corn crop of the state will not fall far be-
low 500, 10000 bushels.

SHARK BITES OFF HIS LEG.

Quartermaster Mckee of Gunboat
Annapolis Suffers Amputatton.
Admiral Kempff has forwarded to the
navy department at Washington IN official
report, thrilling in its details, of the biting
off of a leg of Qu~artermaster Mckee of the
gunboat Annapolis by a shark or other
mammoth sea monster. The Annapolis
has been stationed of late at Iloilo, and on
June "a last a party was sent out for rifle
target practice. Commander Rhoer, in
command of the Annapolis, states that
permission was given several of the men
to go in swimming while others were en-
gagged in fishing. Mckee joined two and
asked if they had been able to touch bot
tom. Being answered in the negative he
made a dive and was gone for several Sec
onds. A moment later Mckee appeared
on the surface and shouted: sShark!
Shark"
The surface Of the water was covered
with blood near where he came up. Nc
kee started to swim and, although Grip
pied, reached the boat and was pulled in
by his companions. A horrible sight met
their eyes, the quartermaster's leg having
been bitten off near the knee. With all
dispatch he was taken aboard Annapolis,
where the surgeons found it necessary to
amputate the limb between the knee and
hin.

SETS a e MARK.
Tide of Commercial Prosperity Still.
on Upward Trend.

Tide of Commercial Prosperity Still
on Upward Trend.
1t has frequently been assumed that the
level of last years phenomenal CONNER
cial operations could not be repeated this
year. Reports on the volume of trade for
the six months ending June 80 do not bear
out this prediction.
Figures gathered by the treasury bureau
OF statistics on the movements of internal
commerce for the first half of 1901 show
that, as a rule, the contrary is true and
that the tide of commercial prosperity is
IT'LL on the upward trend.
The yearly receipts of live stock at five
western markets to June 80, 1901 have
been 2,969, $50 cattle, 9,12O. 100 hogs and s.
1886 8 sheep. This exceeds by 3i4,552
head the arrivals for the corresponding
period of last year. Traffic receipts of
live stock at Chicago alone were 4,208 cars
above those of the first six months of 1900,
and shipments were greater by 3,7S6 cars.
This illustrates the increasing extent to
which transportation interests have been
sharing in the enlarging output of staple
farm products.
Wheat receipts, for example, at eight
leading markets, including Minneapolis,
Milwaukee, Duluth, Chicago, Kansas City,
st. Louis, Toledo and Detroit, aggregated
217, 1853, 743 bushels for the season to June
so. 1901, compared with 2O9, 972, 915 bushels
for the season to June 80, 1900.

as her assailant. The proof of guilt was
absolutely conclusive, and includes pr rtic-

not permitted to come within 100 yards of
the place where Washington met his
death. This was at a spot a few feet from
the railroad track and not 500 yards from
the house in which the ravisher commit
ted the crime for which he paid so dread
tul a penalty. He walked to his death
without a tremor and met it without a
prayer or an appeal for mercy. He adj
mitted his guilt of crimes incident to the
principal one, which proved his guilt Of
that. But to the end he stubbornly re.
fused to acknowledge that he had assault
