DAKOTA CROP CONDITION
Unprecedented Yield of Small Grain
Now Assured, While Corn In
Overcoming Early Setback.

MITCHELL, s. D., July 30.-(Special.)
There is no ~discounting the great crop
that is being harvested in this county at
the present time and there Is not the
least question but the crop of 1891. which
is regarded as the best that the state
ever raised, will be surpassed by at least
80 ger cent.
The crops Of rye and barley, which have
already been harvested. indicate some
thing Of what can be expected Of the
wheat crop. At the present time the far
mers have Just got a good start on their
wheat and 1t will tak nearly two weeks
before the crop is finished being cut. The
weather that has led up to the harvest
time has been as near perfect as possible.
That 1t will be a marvellous crop there
is now no question. In this immediate
Vicinity there have been no storms in the
last two months to do any particular In
Jury to the growing crops.
The oat harvest is practically finished
and one of the best crops that has ever
been raised in the state was harvested.
The yield will be heavy beyond any ques-
ton as soon as the threshing will begin.
Corn Is making a splendid growth and
It is gaining on its stand Of a year ago
at the same period. taking into considera-
tion the setback It had early in the spring.
but there does not seem to be any reason
now why corn should not develop into a
splendid crop. II the conditions remain as
favorable now as they have been In the
last six weeks, during which time the
cereal has attained its greatest growth.

TANPERS WITH Gas PLANT
Company officials Believe Attempt Wa
Made to Wreck Works.
VALVE IN THE GASOLINE TANK is TURNED
Express the Opinion that Act was
the Work of some one Familiar
with the Plant, Possibly .
Discharged EmpIOYe.

What is believed to have been an at
tempt to blow up the gas plant Of the
Citizens Gas and Electric company was
made Tuesday night by unknown parties.
The apparatus was tempered with in such
a way that had not the fact been dis
covered at the time II was, serious damage
would undoubtedly have resulted to the
plant. The discovery that the apparatus
had been tempered with was made by
Dan Driscoll. the foreman, early yester-
day morning. When he read the big
meter at the works he at once noticed
that something was amiss and investiga-
ton disclosed the fact that the "by pass"
valve and a valve in the gasoline tank
had been opened and the apparatus other
wise interfered with during the night.
In Foreman Driscoll's opinion, the work
was that Of someone familiar with the
apparatus and interior Of the building.
ofhcers Of the company believe tina a
discharged employe was responsible for
the attempt to wreck the plant.
The Citizens Gas and Electric, company
is experiencing trouble with the men en-
ployed In digging trenches. Yesterday
afternoon thirteen men engaged in digging
a ditch on Avenue B and Tenth street de-
cided to strike IL their demand for an in
crease OF wages from $3.50 to s1.75 was
not complied with. Manager Friedman,
learning OF their intentions, decided to
nip the strike In the bud. When the men
completed the work of digging the trench
on Avenue B, instead Of sending them to
another place to work, he informed them
that there was no more work for them
at present and told them to go to the
ONCE and draw their pay. This fore
stalled the men In their proposed walkout
for increased wages.
Some Of the men who had planned TO
strike we're seen and said that while they
had intended to ask for an increase to
S1.75 q day, what they objected to most
was Manager Friedman standing over
the ditch the entire day watching them
work. This duty. they asserted, belonged
to the gang boss and not the manager Of
the company,
Manager Friedman stated that he could
secure all the men he wanted, and that
the intended strike would not interfere
with the work or the company in iayins
mains.
