Rainfall Theories.

Did You ever see :. cloud form in a
cleBr blue sky and grow larger till rain
fell? That cloud did not drift hun
dreds or thousands of miles, but was
formed before your eyes.
Some people say the vapor or water
in invisible particles drifted thither
and formed a cloud ana rain fell when
the vapor laden winds encountered a
cooler strata or current of air.
Other people say that the raw ma
terial Oxygen and hydrogen) being
present everywhere and at all times,
the cloud formed and rain fell because
the action of air currents. at the par.
ticular place produced a mixture Of
the raw material" in The neutral

of electricity effected a Coordination

Who is rightY
The latter theory is the newer one
and perhaps it is nearer right than thu
older one formed prior to the many
scientific discoveries of the past few
years. Perhaps there is some truth il
both theories. At any rate it is saf.
to be tolerant of other peoples views
and encourage experiments that will
demonstrated the truth or fallacies oi
either theory.

CANTON CHOSEN
The Republican Judicial Con-
vention on August 20.

M. E. Rudolph, chairman of the
second Judicial Circuit Committee,
met with the other members at Sioux
Falls. August 1, and issued call for
the convention, fixing the time on
August 20, and Canton az the place for
holding said convention. The call is
published in this issue of the LEADER.
Minnehaha has three candidates for
the judgeship, Judge Jones, Ex.Judge
Aikens, and Hon. n. H. Keith. From
present indications it would seem that
Judge Jones will have the delegation
from Minnehaha county, in which case
he will without doubt, be renominated.
Judge Jones has made splendid re-
cord on the bench and has given entire
satisfaction to the bar of the circuit
and his endorsement by his home
county at this time means his renomi-
nation and election. Lincoln county
is not claiming anything as her right,
but she has three loyal sons, Messrs.
Clifford, Brown and Rudolph, men Of
eminent ability and high character,
either of whom would make fit sue
cessor to Judge Jones. If the Min
nehaha convention should see fit 70
turn Judge Jones down and place
new man in nomination it is more than
likely that Lincoln County would de-
eide on presenting candidate, whose
claim should and undoubtly would be
recognized as a just one I

PROSPERITY AT CANTON
John Mcdonald Tells of the
Healthy Growth of Can
ton to a Sioux City
Journal Reporter.

"That town Of Canton, up the Sioux
valley, is one of the most lively and
prosperous in the whole state of South
Dakota" said John Mcdonald in talk
ing of his recent visit there. There are
building improvements going on more
rapidly than anybody would ever guess
and it is delight to drive through the
streets in the residence district and see
the beautiful homes.
1.-The government is just completing
a hospital for insane Indians which
will cost $64. 900. 1t will be fitted with
every modern convenience and will &C.
commodate 225 patients.
1.-The new Chautauqua pavilion down
in grove by the river will seat 5000
people, and in connection with it are
ample facilities for boating and general
pleasure. A little steam yacht plies
the waters of the Sioux, and the town
is likely to become quite summer
resort.
'Plans have just been drawn for O.
A. Rudolph for a new hotel which will
cost $25, 900, and it will be leased by
Charlie seely, now proprietor Of the
Harlan House. When this is COM
pleted Canton will offer it and the
Chautauqua pavilion as inducements
for the location Of state conventions
and other large gatherings.
1.-THE Swedish Lutheran Augustana
college is to be made large ins.itu-
tion. The old Naylor house is to be
removed near the site for use as q
dormitory.
''Messrs. Thorson, Lewis and Gemmill
are erecting $4,000 residences and A.
G. Mold and several others are building
themselves nice homes. These men
and o. s. Clifford, Brown Bros, Charlie
Judd and several others who might be
named are fellows who have stuck by
Canton, through thick and thin and
they are reaping their reward.
Dozens of farmers who have been
in the country for twenty or twenty.
FIVE years. some of whom in the early
days were supposed to have been ir.
retrievably ruined by drought and
grasshoppers, have nevertheless made
their fortunes and retired and have
moved into town. where they are edu-
eating their children Prosperity is
rampant up there"

THE "NATI0NAL" CORN. i.

A8tSoS Nu0pICI ~ " xSS
A Hudson special to the Sioux City
Journal Of August .. gives this inter.
esting item Of news: There is much
interest in this locality in the jon rnsl's
recent telegram from Sioux Falls re-
garding the origin Of the National
corn. The real father of the new corn
is J. E. Milett, an old settler in this
locality and an old Soldier. Mr.. Mil
lett owns two large farms five miles
west Of Hudson in Eden township and
is one Of the most prominent farmers
in Lincoln county. He has grown rich
raising corn on South Dakota coil. For
the last five years Mr.. Millett has fur.
nished several hundred ears of corn
each year for the use of South Dakota
veterans to carry in the grand parade
at the National g. A. R. encampments,
and each year the corn has attracted
widespread attention. 1t has been one
of the best advertisements that South
Dakota has ever had. It was Mr..
Millett who. with his own hands,
planted, cultivated and gathered the
identical corn which is about to revo.
lutionize the cereal product Of the Lone
Star state. This variety, Mr. Millet,
says, has been known on his farm az
Golden Dent, but he is thoroughly in
sympathy with the progressive spirit OF
enthusiastic Texans and is willing tc
accept the new name they have coined
for it. He can furnish them all the
corn they want for seed from his croI
of 1901 at not exceeding 81 per bushel.
