The Shipmaster's Cow.

A certain farmer is telling mean
things about q Rockland ShipmaSter.
"Thc ShipmaStcr," he says, bought Il
COW of IL man down my way; good
crittCr-nothin the matter with her.
But it seems the captains wife one
day thought the milk tasted funny
and sc%rSted that p'rapS she'd been
catin spruce boughs; said the milk
tasted like spruce. And what docs he
do but 90 out in the pasture to watch
the COW, to see what she did eat The
cow waS layin down, chcWin her cud,
aud he went crlon% and run his finger
in her mouth to see what she was eat
in. Then he was mad. He put rope
on the COW and started off with her.
He met Il nci@hhor, who says, Where
are you gOin with the cow Coin to
take her back to the Teller that sold
her to me. Hes cheated me, and |
wont stand it,
"Thc man wanted to know what was
the matter. and he went on to tell
about it and says: She wasn't catin
bOughS, but she was chcWin gum;
that's what's the matter with the milk
and makes it taste like spruce. And
he says, that amt all. Shes so addict
ed to the habit that she's worn all her
teeth cut. She amt got an upper tooth
in her head. Back she goes, quick
"Of course, the man told him that it
was all nnnScnSr-that cows never had
no upper teeth. But he didn't believe n
word of il and went on and had Il tar
nal row with the man that sold him

about it or knew what a darncd fool

A great mistake is often made of
spreading large and small stones over
a well graded and well drained founda-
ton and leaving them thus for traffic
to consolidate. The surface of a road
left in this manner is often kept in con
slant turmoil by the larger stones,
which work themselves to the surface
and are knocked hither and thither by
the wheels of vehicles and the feet of
animals. These plans of construction
cannot be too severely condemned.

ANOTHER CHILDREN's HOME.
Eastern Philanthropist Named Law

South Dakota is to have another chill

designed to care for such homeless
children as are beyond the age of those
cared for by the children's home there.
An eastern philanthropist named Law
renee and his two sisters are behind the
enterprise. AS result OF visit to the
state, and careful investigation of the
various localities, they have purchased
half section of land on the Jim river
in Sanborn county, and upon it will be
erected the necessary buildings. 1t is
the purpose of Lawrence and his sisters
to cultivate the farm with the assist.

THE LECTURE COURSE.
The Preliminary Canvass Progressing
NiceIy--Larger Patronage
Than Last Year,

The results OF the canvass for orders
for season tickets to the lecture and
concert caurse this year are most salts
factory. The success OF last years
course, coupled with the larger provi.
sion for talent this year and the holding
OF the course in the opera house has
made. people anxious to secure season
tickets.
Some do not understand definitely
the plan as to reserved seats. The
plan adopted last year met with such
universal commendation that the same
plan will be used this year, viz: Season
ticket holders can secure a reserved
seat for the entire season for go cents.
This is 20 cents cheaper than by the
single night and saves one the trouble
and Inconvenience of going before each
entertainment. The season reserved
seat sale will open Tuesday, Oct. 20,
three days before the single night re-
served seat sale. This gives the season
ticket holders three days advantage in
choice of seats.
The Slayton Lyceum Bureau, of
Chicago, who furnished all the talant
this year, has furnished almost all the
attractions since the Lecture Course
was started. In writing of this years
course, they say:
You have one of the best courses in
the country. The large cities give no
better. 1t is the best course Mitchell
has ever had'.

now being taken. Give. orders either

NEWS FROM OIL FIELDS.
Mitchell Crude Oil Co., Receiving
Some Splendid News From
Its Seat of OperatiOn.

The officials of the Mitchell Crude
Oil Co. have been receiving some very
cheering news from the oil fields of
California, where its property is located,
and which is very encouraging to them.
A few days ago M. b. Rowley, secre-
tary of the local company, received q
letter from Fl. G. stratton, secretary of
the. Midway Oil Co., dated at San Fran
cisco, CAL, Sept. 30th, in which he
says:
Superintendent E. W. Kay arrived
this morning from the Midway camn
and reports the following news regard.
ing wells 3 and 4:
Well NO. 3,-9s casing is 1889 feet,
are now ten feet in the oil sand. viii
keep this string of casing going until it
goes through this oil strata into the clav
below. The casing will then be perfor.
ated at both strata, viz: at GAL to 977 and
the strata just entering. The pump
hole for saving the oil is now being com.
pleted. When finished pump will be
put in the we'll and started up as soon
as possible and will run it thereafter
continuously. In running the bailer
the oil has run down the road fully
Ahii d mlle from the derrick. This
waste cannot be avoided until the we'll
| ls completed on account of the dirt etc.
being mixed with the oil.
Well No. ALL SO is S9l feet deep.
the hole being 1014 feet, casing still
going, formation being brown shade
with much better showing of oil than
in No. 3 at GAL to GIT.
The showing at this depth is far
| superior than in anv of tho othor rpa11.
but does not compare of course to the
showing in No. 3 at 1850 feet.
ls is thought we are just entering the
same strata of oil as encountered in No.
at lloO feet and indicates larger we'll
even than No. 3.
The showing in these two wells ia
creating great excitement and the
opinion is freely expressed that the
Midway district is the greatest yet
discovered and over-shadows every
other oil we'll in the state.

Making up Judgments.

Clerk of Courts Robb is now labor
iously engaged in making up the judg-
ment book in the scavenger tax matter.
AS in other counties the taxes in this
list will be Jumped" Action was
brought in the eighth and sixth Judi
cial circuits by taxpayers for the reason
that several years. taxes had been
dumped" off in the printed notices in
the papers, there being no specification
as to the original taxes or interest.
The courts held in these cases that the
taxpayers had received sufficient notice
aud had no ground for action in court.
The reason for not fully itimizing the
tax list is that. the present method is
much cheaper for the state.
