SARGENT HAS A MYSTERY
President OF school Board Goes Home
to Find lights Burning, but
Doors Locked.

The family Of President Sargent Of the
Board OF Education is spending the summer
at the lakes and Mr.. Sargent is the only
occupant Of the home on Second avenue at
night. Saturday night he walked home in
company with H. w. Binder and another
friend living in the neighborhood. AS they
approached the Sargent residence they were
surprised to notice the entire upper portion
Of the house brilliantly lighted up. al
though all the blinds on the windows were
drawn down.
Mr.. Sargent divided his forces, suspect
ing hat burglars were holding high car
nlval in his house. Mr.. Binder was assigned
to guard the back door while Mr.. Sargent
watched the front entrance. The friend was
detailed to telephone for the police and
arouse some Of the menfolk living near by.
Several responded to the alarm and by the
time Captain Maltby and Detective Gala
CHAN arrived on the scene the house was
guarded at all points.
Then II was decided to march upon the
house and Mr.. Sargent. with as little noise
as possible. opened the front door. Not a
sound could be heard upstairs as the on
GERS with drawn revolvers proceeded to the
second floor. Everything appeared to be in
perfect order and a thorough search failed
TO reveal any trace OF burglars. Investiga-
tion showed all the doors and windows Sc
curely fastened. but no explanation was
forthcoming as to how the lights in the up
per part OF the house had been turned on.
Mr.. Sargent had not been home since the
afternoon and he is still seeking q solution
OF the mystery.

DAKOTA CROP CONDITIONS
Improvement is shown All over the
Jim River Country and OUT
look IA GoOd.

HURON. S. D., July 27.-(speeisi .)-Little
can be added to what has already been
said concerning crop conditions In this
part Of South Dakota. Throughout Beadle
county, and over the entire Jim river val
ley, more encouraging indications for large
yields Of small grain could scarcely be de-
sired.
The ground is amply moist for the ma
turing OF wheat and other small grain,
what is now needed is warm, sunshiny
weather to ripen grain and put II in proper
condition for harvesting. Some barley Is
In shock. and rye is also being cut: these
crops are unusually ~heavy-the barley crop
being the greatest in the history Of this
portion OF the state, and the quality is
much better than ever before known.
The berries are large, OF uniform size
and splendid eolor-something hat could
not truthfully be said Of rye and barley
in former years. Estimates as to yields
per acre Of barley, rye, oats aLo wheat
vary so much that one can scsrce.y give
figures that would be regarded authentic:
farmers say oats will go nifty bushels per
acre. barley from twenty-five to thirty, and
rye eorrespondingly. while wheat will
range from fifteen to twenty-five bushels
per acre. Harvesting is in progress in the
southern part OF the county. and wheat
cutting will begin in a few days.
Corn Is making rapid progress and bids
fair to be a fine crop. The last week has
been more favorable for corn and there is
every indication that the yield will be
as great as earlier estimated.
Potatoes and millet are splendid; where

WILL HOLD A COUNTY FAIR
Minnehaha County Agricultural Sos
ciety of south Dakota Makes Ar-
ranEement for Gathering.

SIOUX FALLS. s. D., July 27.-(special.)
"A a second meeting in this ctty Of the
recently organized Minnehaha County Agrl-
cultural association It was unanimously de-
cided to hold a county fair this fall. Sioux
Falls was selected as the place. II was
found that there was only one week in
which the dates would not conflict with
either the state fair or some OF the county
fairs, and 1t was finally decided to hold
the fair on Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday
and Friday, September 20, "a. 25 and 26.
The fair in reality will continue only dur
ing the first three days. The fourth day
will be devoted to the sale or trade OF
live stock. The question OF grounds was
not determined, but has been left to the
board Of directors or managers Of the as
ISOLATION. W locations will be consid-
cred, the Coats farm, near the city, and
the ball grounds, which are situated within
the city limits, The board of directors is
made up of a resident of each township In
the county.

Another shipment of ore from It was made
this week of four cars, and FIVE more cars
of ore are on the sidetrack waiting to be
loaded. The last shipment went as good
as $50 a ton, and as the ore is very easily
worked the values were mostly all profit.
Shipments are being made to the Imperial
cyanide mill at Deadwood over the B. & M.
narrow gauge. Last Thursday the miners
ran into a very rich streak Of ore, which
will go up into the hundreds of dollars.
The ore was encountered on the top of the
hill In an open cut, from which most Of
the shipments have been made. The ground
is under lease to Bart Harris OF this place
and he has increased his working force
and will try and make larger shipments.
Three shipments, aggregating about 100
tons, have been made from the mine. The
ore body is not a very large one where the
present work is being done, there being
but about five feet Of 1t, but as 1t all av-
erages up well everything that 1t met with
in the shape Of ore is being shipped.
The Michigan Mining company, = which
owns four patented claims adjoining the
Two Bears group OF mines, will begin ex-
tensive development work on its ground
next week. The management Of the COM
pany believes that the Orc Elmo vein runs
through the property, and the work will
be done in an effort to find this vein, which,
when 1t was being worked, was one of the
richest In the Bare Butte mining district.
The directors Of the company held a meet
ing last week, and besides voting to begin
work on the property elected the following
officers: President, ]. B. Mars; vice pres
ident, Erward Hanschka; secretary-treas-
urer, ]. r. Russell.
A new proposition in placer mining, or
II may be quartz mining, has come up in
the Ruby gulch district. The management
OF the Portland mine has concluded to run
the surface dirt which overlies the vein
on the property through a stamp mill. This
dirt is from six to ten feet in depth over
the vein, and 1t all prospects, running ali
the way from SO to about SIS a ton, and
for a distance OF about 800 feet below the
vein on the hillside. 1t has been pros
pected for a distance Of 500 feet one way
and 300 another, and every painful OF dirt
shows colors. II would make ideal material
to send through a stamp mill, for one
stamp would crush as much Of It as could
be shoveled into It without any trouble
and there is nothing in It that would pre-.
vent easy amalgamation, all OF the values
would be saved. The company is still driv.
ing its main tunnel on the vein and is get.
ting out some very good ore. Work OF
the mill win begin shortly, and It is hoped
that 1t will be in operation before winter
sets in.

During her absence Friday evening the

by some person or persons who It Is
thought WIRE after money only. They failed
TO secure any, however, but left a letter
containing a threat to kidnap Mrs. Williams
only son. a young lad employed as elevator
boy in one of the oflce buildings.
The letter was turned over to the police.

While the police did not fear that any at
tempt would be made to carry out the
threat conveyed in the letter and kidnap
young Williams, they believe that the let
ter was written with the evident intent Of
frightening Mrs. Williams into parting with
her money.
Acts on Advice of Police.
Acting under the advice Of the police, Mrs.
Williams Saturday evening placed a salt
sack, as indicated In the letter, under the
Fifth avenue bridge. 1t did not, however,
contain the money demanded, but was filled
with gravel. Ofhcers watched the bridge
the entire night. hoping that the person or
persons responsible for the letter would
come for the sack, but their vigil was in
vain.
1t is supposed that the persons after Mrs.
williams money either discovered the pres
ence Of the police or learned that she laid
the matter before the authorities. The po-
lice have under surveillance a young man
living in the neighborhood OF the Williams
home who was seen loafng around the
house shortly before it was broken into Fri
day night and who is also said to have been
seen under the Fifth avenue bridge Saturday
afternoon before the decoy sack was placed
there.
Mrs. Williams, who lives alone with her
son, is very much wrought up over the
threatening letter. fearing that some harm
may befall her boy. The young lad. how-
ever, is not worrying and says he IL well
able to take care of himself. He does not
fear that any attempt will be made to alb
duct him and is of the opinion that the let
ter was written with a view to frightening
his mother into giving up some of her
money.

A New Back for an Old One-How it IS
Done in WauSau.


The back aches II times with dull
indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; shooting pains
shoot across the region Of the kidneys,
and again the loins are so lame to stoop
Is agony. No use to rub or apply
plaster TO the back in this condition.
You cannot reach the cause. Exchange
the bad back for new and stronger
one; Follow the example of tbs Wau-
sau citizen.
MIR. Albert Mohr of 2l9 jackson
street, says: Il had more or less back
ache about year. Often was entire
ly free from it, but the contraction of
cold which generally settled in my kid
neys, produced a recurrence. Work of
any kind which caused strain on the
muscles of the back was sure to bring
on an attack of aching. L did not know
whether the trouble was caused by my
kidneys or not, but reaching the an
nouncement which positively stated that
Doan's Kidney Pills were sure cure for
backache, procured a supply at Albers'
drug store. They did the work
thoroughly in my case. Up to the pre-
sent time there has been no indication
of kidneys complaint, backache, lum-
bago, or whatever you may term it."
