The Dakotas Receive a Visit From
Jack Frost.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. Gan ex-
ceedingly heavy frost has spoiled all
the corn In this section. It is safe to
say there will be none husked in this
county this fall. This is very early
for such heavy frost, as the usual
time is about the 21st. Ice formed on
pals, pools, and to some extent on
the river.
Madison, S. D.-A heavy frost here
Corn and late flax probably killed.
These crops were unusually backward
this year on account of the cool sum-
mer.
Grand Forks. N. D.-The tempera-
ture throughout the northern portion
of the state dropped below the frost
line Wednesday night. Killing frost
is reported from some localities
farther west, but here the frost was
not more than heavy enough to curl
the edges of leaves of tender vegeta-
bles, and the damage is practically
nothing. West and north there is a
great deal Of grain to cut, and con-
siderable that is quite green. If the
frost was as heavy as reported late
grain will be ruined.

With Probably Fatal Injuries.
st. Paul, Sept. 4.-Jacob Hoffman,
twenty-seven years old, who made the
balloon ascension at the state fair
grounds last night, is at st. Joseph's
hospital with injuries that may prove
fatal. He cut loose from the balloon
when about 400 feet in the air. Tie
parachute fell 100 feet and then par
tally opened. The speed at which he
was falling was So great that it was
tern to ribbons when it did open and
was rendered useless. Hoffman was
taken to st. Joseph's hospital and op-
Grated on last evening. The bones in
his left leg between the knee and
ankle were virtually cracked into
splinters, and were protruding from
the leg in all directions. DR.. Ohage
operated on the patient, and the leg
was put in a plaster cast. DR.. Ohage
says that Hoffman must have suffered
internal injuries, although nothing
serious has developed as yet. Hoff-
man is an athletic young man, and the
physicians hope his strong constitu-
ton will pull him through.

New Jersey Couple Pump Their Way
Out Of Reach of Angry Husband.
Washington, Sept. 6.-Out of Jersey
have come. many tales of the cunning
of clipping couples, but none in truth
or melodrama fit to be written on the
same page with the adventure of

Wharton lives Oliver Track, who is
fifty years old, respected by his fellow

married her six months ago. Only a

young fellow from Ohio, college-bred,
who got place in the mine company's
office and passed the Track house sew

a Irritation, an elopement, arrest, for

bowling his acknowledgement of the
enthusiastic and prolonged cheering
of an assemblsge that l4irly crowded
the Baltimore & Ohio station here,
President Roosevelt last night began
his Southern tour with Chattanooga,
Tenn, as the objective point.
The president appeared little dis
figured as a result of the Pittsfield &C.
cident, but apparently had quite re-
covered from the shock. He stopped
to shake hands with those who
pressed about him to congratulate him
on his escape.
Poor Craig" he frequently repeated
in expressing his thanks to his we'll
wishers. To a number he described
the accident at Pittsfeld. He said it
was not the first time he had had so
Providential an Escape,
and referred to an incident in the bat
tie of San Juan when gunshots struck
down two men close behind him. The
president told the Pittsfeld story to a
group in the car with feeling and
emphasized it with gestures. He said
he felt in normal condition again.
The personnel of the presidents
party is the same as that on his New
England trip, except for the addition
OF S. B. Kege, the general agent of the
Baltimore & Ohio railway, and Col.
L. S. Brown the general agent of the
Southern railway. The president took
dinner on the train shortly after his
departure.
The Southern trip will be a some
what hurried one and no stops will be
made at points other than Wheeling,
w. Va, Chattanooga and Knoxville,
Tenn, and Asheville, N. c. The
Immediate Object
of the president is to attend the con-
vention of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, in whose work he al
ways has shown deep interest. The

be spent in Chattanooga quietly and
without public program. The party
will visit the battle grounds during
the day and the president will attend
church in the evening. The president

Deadwood, S. D., Sept. 4.-Walking
Shield, Rosebud Indian, is on trial
here for murder. Four or five months
ago he visited the home of a young
Indian maiden for whom he had de-

girls mother, who had objected to his
suit. The old squaw was shot down in
her cabin, after which Walking Shield
and the girl spent the night in the
room with the corpse. In the morning
the Indian departed, taking the girl

which is extraordinary for Indians.

this city on large tracts of fertile bot
