ALI Want the Championship.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: The
Aberdeen News devotes about half a
column telling of the record of the ball
team which this season has represented
that city. The Aberdeen club was
good one and certainly made a good
record. According to the News item,
the Aberdeen club played 40 games,
winning % and losing IA, making per
ceutage of 1856. According to the
Madison papers, the Madison team, up
to the time it disbanded had played 25
games and won 16. giving 1T percent
age of $40. Up to but not including
today's game. Sioux Falls has played
45 games and won 81, which gives it
percentage of .6S6, which we believe is
the best percentage of any club in this
section. We have not the record of the
Flandreau club, consequently cannot
give it's percentage.

NUMBER IS
A Horrible Accident.

Bridgewater Tribune: Fritz Walgast
living on the Thomas place, met with q
horrible accident Tuesday He was
cutting grain when he came to place
where there were several small holes
in the ground. He got down from tho
binder to lead the team over these
places. The horses lunged forward,
throwing him to the ground. The bin
der passed over his body, mangling and
bruising 1t in many places. DR.. Clous-
or was called and found the poor fellow
in bad shape. The ends of the fingers
on the right hand were taken off. The
left arm was SO badly crushed that 1t
may have to be amputated, The legs
were badly cut and mangled. DR.. Law
er of Spencer, was called over to assist
DR.. Clouser to dress the wounds and at
this writing the patient is resting easy
with hope OF ofrecovery.

HAD HIS HAND CRUSHED.
John Tuckey Got His Hand in a
Threshing Machine Pulley and
Lost Finger Thereby.

John Tuckey went up to Washington
Springs few days ago to start up three
steam threshing rigs for the j. I Case
Co., and he came home last Saturday
with his right hand badly crushed. he
had flushed his work and was indicat-
ing the speed on the last engine.
While standing there with his close to
q pIlley one of the men drove
up with y hayrack and struck John on
the elbow with sufficient force as to
push his hand into the pulley. John
said it tore the flesh from the back
OF his hand AID ripped two bones out
of his wrist but not injuring the rest
of the hand. The accident happened
Friday evening. On his arrival here he
went to the Office of DR.. Crane and with
the assistance of DR.. Freyberg the lit
tie finger was removed, which was made
necessary by the two bones being torn
out Of the wrist. Johns many frieuds
will be sorry to learn OF the accident
but will be glad TO know that it ia no
worse.
Charles Lowrie, another employe of
the j. I. Case Co., met with an accident
this morning that will lay him up for q
short time. He was on top of frsight
car in the Milwaukee yards and in some
way fell to the ground. His ankle was
dislooated in the fall and he was re-
moved to his home and DR.. Crane was
called to attend to his injury.

WEATHER FOR TWO WEEKS.
The Record of That Hot Spell Dur

July-It Was Hot One.

Tho experiences that people in this
country have had with hot weather
pale into insignificance when compared
with the two weeks weather of the lat
ter half of July. 1t lsys'ou any former
record for prolonged and intense heat
that was ever established in this coun-
try, and yet it did but very little dam
age to the growing crops, this being
averted by the splendid rainfall during
the month of June and which was stored
away in the ground to meet a contin-
gency like that which happened in
July. The record for the weather of
the last two weeks in July is given be-
low, and also for the entire month, the
maximum figures given, however, ap-
plying TO the day previous the date
opposite the figures:

People are Getting Over It

Sioux Falls Journal: The [. Nj. Rob
erts Supply House, the largest cata og
and mail order distributing house in the
Northwest, and one of the .ew of its
kind in the country, with headquarters
and general offices in Minneapolis, is
bankrupt. This will be severe blow
to many South Dakotans who may be
compelled to patronize the local mer-
chants, the men who pay taxes, the men
who are first sought out for contribu-
tions when a farmer meets with re-.
verses, and the men who have to carry
their respective communities through
hard times, such as appear at stated
periods. Verify, the local merchants
are threatened with being up against q
cash trade as result of this failure.

FUNERAL SERVICES FRIDAY.
Workmen Conduct the Services at
the Grave Over Remains Of
F. s. Schirmer.

Friday morning at 10 o'clock funer-
al services were held over the remains
OF the late F. S. Schirmer at the resi-
dence on the south side, and q large
number of friends were in attendance
About 30 members of the Workmen
lodge were also present. The casket
was surrounded by number of floral
tributes. The services were conducted
by Rev. A. e. Steuernagel, and the re-
mains were laid to rest in Graceland
cemetery. At the grave the Workmen
performed the last sad rites over the
departed brother.
Frederick S. Schirmer was born in
Hanover, Germany, May 7th 1852,
and departed this life August lat, 1901,
making his pilgrimage 4S years, two
months and 25 days.
After spending the earlier pars of his
life in the place of his birth, he was
united in marriage to Augusta Fritz,
Dec. 25 1875, who proved a worthy
helpmeet to him in all the varied ex-
periences of life. In 1868 MIR. Schirmer
came to this country locating in Iowa,
and later in Yankton, coming to Mitch
ell in 1884, where he has resided ever
since.
AS business man he was we'll known,
and gained large circle of friends who
will deeply mourn their loss.
Early in life he was confirmed in the
Lutheran church of which he remained
member up to the time of his death.
He was also member OF the Workman
lodge, and for some time one of the
officers.
The deceased was constant sufferer
for the past two years, though his con-
dition was not considered serious until
about two weeks ago, when he began to
grow weaker and the end seemed ine-
vitable.
The deceased leaves loving aud
faithful wife, four sons, Geo. B., Sig
mond F., Frederick L., and Henry W.,
and a daughter Minnie B., to mourn
the loss of loving husband and father.

South Dakota Hay Will Be in Great
Demand for Feed for Western
States This Winter.

There will be another addition to the
crop export in South Dakota this year
and that will be the vast quantities of
hay that will be shipped out this fall
aud winter The states of Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska are short on hay
and stock repres entatives from those
states nave been travelling over this
state in quest of baled hay for their
stock this winter. They have learned
OF The fine condition of the grazing and
hay lands in this state and come to it
for relief for their cattle. Under those
circumstances hay will be worth good
money this season for an immense quan
tity will be in demand and hence the
price will be that much larger. The
| hay crop will be as profitable ss any
other in South Dakota and probably
more than one or two.
A good many steckmen will not at.
tempt to ship hay to their cattle but
will bring their cattle into the state to
feed on the grazing lands. In the past
week heavy shipments have been made
over the Northwestern and Milwaukee
roafls of cattle to these lands. AT Huron
it is estimated that 100 trainloads of
cattle will pass through there for the
west within the next thirty days. In
this vicinity the frsG trainload of catt;e
passed through Mitchell few days ago
for grazing lands near White Lake and
it is stated that more cattle will be
shipped just as quick as the railroads
can supply train service. This will be
u great card for South Dakota in being
| able to furnish the feed for other west,
ern states in short crop year.

THAT SPLENDID RAIN.
The Needed Moisture for the Corn
Crop Finally Put in an Appear
ance Friday Night.

Friday was very cloudy day and
there were indications for rain. It did
not seem possible for it to escape and it
did not. Along abouL9 o'clock in the
evening the rain began TO come down
gently and there was hardly any cessa-
tion until 10 o'clock this morning. The
rain was not heavy at any time but
every drop that came down went into
the ground and there was no chance for
it to run off. The amount OF rainfall
around here was .44 inches.
The reports from the country were
very encouraging, ana it was learned
that every part of the county got its
share of the rain, some heavier than
others, but all got good wetting down
This moisture will assist materially in
making the corn crop grow better and
will counteract the effect of the hot
winds.
A gentleman informed The Re-
PUBLICAN Saturday that he took So
mile drive Friday over the southern and
northern portions of the corn and stated
that he saw but very little corn but
what was in good condition and farmers
in the city make very much the same
report. They all declare that corn was
not injured as much as was supposed by
the hot weather and that this rain will
make 7ast difference in the result of
the crop.
