Barton Hanson, son OF HI. I. Han
son, of Norway, Clay county, is able
to be out of bed for the first time In
two weeks, having suffered q great
deal from blood poisoning. Himself
and brother went fishing two weeks
ago and after catching several bull
heads began throwing them at each
other. The result was that Barton
was struck on the hip In such a way
that I'm penetrated the joint and
blood poisoning set In, which came
near ending his life.-Sioux Falls
Press.
The city OF Brookings still seems to
keep in the lead with new buildings.
A $50, 600 auditorium now seems TO be
an assured thing. For the past few
years Brookings has been practically
without any place to hold public en-
tertainments. The new building
when completed will be credit to the
city and to the enterprising citizens
who, by their united efforts, have
made it a possibility. Some such
united effort displayed by the citizens
of Estelline might bring about bene-
fetal results for our city.-Estelline
Tribune.
VIM. Hunter and one of his thresh-
ers drove up to Brookings last Sunday
with one of Hiltz's livery teams and
on their return when just out Of
Brookings the carriage came un-
coupled and the team struck out for
"home rum with the front wheels.
Judging from the looks OF Billy's face
the next morning, he struck square
when the team started and forgot to
let 60 of the lines. After running
nearly mile the team ran square
into another buggy, smashing IL to
pieces and throwing the occupants
out. One, lady, is said to have been
quite seriously injured. We were un-
able to learn the names. but they are
said to live on the old Rob Morris
Ifarm.-Aurora Times.
The discovery of oil fields In Texas
may result in more good to the peo-
pie Of the northwest than the enrich
ment of the few citizens In this sec
tion who were so fortunate as to ac-
quire an interest in them. Crude oil
may become the fuel for manufacture
ing purposes in this part o: the coun-
try. An agent now in st. Paul states
that the oil can be sold In that city
for less than one dollar barrel, and
that one barrel is worth two tons of
coal for heating purposes. This
would supply the one thing lacking to
make the prairie sections great man.
ufacturing centers-cheap fuel. With
this want supplied almost everything
shipped out would be la a manufac-
tured state.-Aberdeen News.
The Commercial West, published at
Minneapolis, estimates the fax crop
of the Dakotas and Minnesota at
"a, ,000,00 bushels. In this estimate
South Dakota is credited with fax
acreage Of 100000 and yield Of
100000. September fax In Mime
apolis is now worth about S1 go per
bushel. This gives South Dakota a
value OF $3,S40,00O for her little side
issue. On this basis the 1901 fax crop
Of the three states is worth $3s, 400, 900.
North Dakota is credited with
100000 bushels of fax this year.
The consumption of flaxseed In this
country in the last crop year has been
about II, ,0O0, 900 bushels, and the new
crop year starts with bins and eleva-
tors empty and with very low stocks
OF oil. In the coming year there ap-
pears to be fair exportable surplus
and on the export demand the future
price depends.
