in Charge Wind Cave.

Captain Seth Bullock. superintendent
Of the Black Hills forest reserve. has
received orders from the secretary Of
the interior to assume the direction Of
the Wind cave, a few miles from Hot
Springs, and to place the nearest
forest ranger in charge. Captain
Bullock will proceed to the ave in a
short time, to put rules and regula-
tons into force for the guidance Of
visitors at the cave, and to appoint
official guides from among persons who
are familiar with the cave, to be at the
service Of tourists. Several men have
anticipated that the cave would be
turned over 10 the forest superintend-
ent, and had put In applications to be
appointed as manager. The order of
the interior department, placing a for
est ranger in charge, shuts these appli-
cants out.

The Association Crows.

w. 8. Hill Of Alexandria, secretary Of
ton OF South Dakota, Southwestern
Minnesota and Northwestern Iowa. has
decided to call a meeting of the direct
ors of the association at Yankton dur
ing the state fair next month, for the
purpose of determining upon o. date for
h fourth annual convention of the as
ISOLATION.
The convention, II was decided at the
last meeting, will be held at Sioux
Falls, during the month Of December,
but the exact date will have to be Sc
lected by the board of directors.
The coming convention will, unSues-
~tionably. be the most successful in the
history OF the association. A greater
number OF implement manufacturers
are prepared TO make displays than
during other prior convention OF the
association. Information from the GEN.
trail and northern portions OF the state,
which were not very largely represent
ed at the last convention, indicate that
q greater number than heretofore Of the
dealers from those parts of the state
viii attend the approaching annual
meeting.
Last year about 400 dealers attended
the convention. This number, in the
opinion o fthose well informed, is insig-
nificant compared with the expected
attendance next December

Normal Schools.

President Beadle. of the Madison
normal, school anticipates a larger at
tendance this year than he has ever
had before. Nearly all the rooms in
East Hall have been engaged, and the
50 pledge money. sent In advance In
order TO make sure of them, has been
sent freely. A number OF inquiries have
been received from outside the state
from students who desire to teach in
South Dakota, and think their chances
would be better IL they attended a
South Dakota school. A number of
comments have been received from
county superintendent and principals
of schools throughout the state on the
Inauguration OF the two-years' course,
which will aid many teachers in ac-
curing the qualifications necessary
for teaching In country and graded
schools.
The fall term OF the state normal
school at Springfield will commence
Sept. 10. 1t Is expected that the at
tendanc eduring the coming year will
be much greater than In any past year.
The large addition to the school which
was recently completed will furnish
ample room for the increased number
Of pupils who viii attend. Everything

Business Men Of Mitchell Are Moving

Mitchell will have another corn palace
this fall. The business men were can
vassed on the proposition and signi-
fed their willingness to support the
enterprise by subscribing over $4,000 to
q fund to defray expenses. AS between
a street fair and a corn palace the ciu-
zens much prefer the latter.
The following committee has been Sc
lected: l.. o. Gale, president in charge
of the attractions; H. r. Kibbee, secre-
tary and treasurer; DR.. r. F. Dundass,
advertising; s. Fl. Scallin, buildings
and decorations: J. K. Smith, manager
of agricultural displays. The services
of A. Robe of Lawrence, Kan, have
been secured to decorate the building.
The exterior will be covered with
grains and grasses, as in former years.
and new decorations will be placed on
the interior by the ladies. Mr.. Gale
has gone east to secure attractions and
will contract for some splendid musi-
cal organization. The dates have not
been settled upon, but it is likely the
last days in September and the first
week In October will be selected.

that the early-planted corn is maturing

show the effect, the ears are filling

rain Of Thursday helped to finish the
crop. In later-planted fields the pres

trial this was shOwa not TO nave ap'

the value OF the timber in the tree.
In affirming the Judgment, the court
of appeals, in the opinion by Judge

"1he measur, of damages for the

Ktnzie is in the most serious condi-

extent Of the injuries sustained by the
others.
The train was composed of & bag
gage car and two day coaches. 1t was
running about forty miles an hour
when the storm, which was cyclonic,
struck it.
The three cars were picked up as
though they were feathers, turned
over two or th1e e times and then
dashed to the ground. The baggage
a was totally destroyed and the two
coaches were completely wrecked.
The occupants of the coaches were
CT ught beneath the wreckage.

Vestigation until morning, when the
coaches We're raised and it was fogaa
that evry passenger had been removed

vtals the fact that the storm was less
than 100 feet In width. From all re-
ports the engine evidently escaped the
fury of the cone-shaped cloud but by a
few feet and remained on the track
wheE the coaches were carried into
the air. One Of the coaches caught
the full force of the storm and was
carried further from the track than
the other two.
The storm destroyed grain stacks
OF Thomas Rake. on whose farm the
wreck occurred, and then passed be-
tween the house and barn, leaving
both unframed. 1t then passed north.
west through Medford, a town on the
Milwaukee road. Several large barns
were totally destroyed, as were also
two houses In Medford. The resi-
dence Of Frank Speakerman was
struck by lightning just previous to
the cyclone and totally destroyed.
Great credit is given Conductor
Kenzie for his heroic conduct during
the work of relief. Though suffering
from a serious cash in the forehead
and a badly bruised hip and leg, he re-
any aid, but urged every one to
take care Of the passengers first.
through it all he worked with the grit
and courage of a hero. 1t is feared
that he may not survive the terrible
shock.

er OF a fog and the blackness of night
the North Atlantic fleet, commanded
by Rear Admiral Higginson, slipped
it's cable in Menemsha Bright, Vine
yard sound, shortly before 10 o'clock
last night and put to sea, making its
first move afioat in the war game be-
tween army and navy in the imaginary
wal along the Southern New England
coast. On land from Fort Rodman at
New Bedford, to Fort Wright, at Fish
ers island, every fertilization is
manned by artillerymen and every
headland is patrolled by signalmen
just as carefully as if a really hostile
fleet were about to descend upon this
part of the seaboard.
The actual period began at the ex-
piratoin of forty-eight hours of prep
aration, and while the feet appeared

on Narragansett bay, the Connecticut
shores, and moro important even, the
city Of New York, from attack under
cover of Martha's Vineyard and ada
cent islands, and through the great
waterway-Long Island sound.
Last night when taps sounded at
all the forts nearly 5000 artillerymen
went to sleep beside their guns ready
to spring up for action when the alarm
should be sounded. On the walls of
Notifications paced guards, and along
the beaches sharp-eyed signal men
swept the sea with their night glasses,
feverishly anxious lest the light of a
hostile var vessel be taken for that of
a friendly merchant craft.
On sea the fleet had been swallowed
up in darkness and it will be heard
from aext when it makes a descent on
the coast within the zone Of hostilities.
There are nearly 5000 men afioat, and
it may be that Admiral Higginson will
endeavor to land his marines at some
exposed point of the shore defenses
and attempt to capture it before max.
ing his attack in an effort to force an
entrance to Buzzard's or Narragansett
bay or Long Island sound, or even to
silence some one Of the big forts. The
army claims to be ready for anything
which may develop.
