MACARONl WHEAT CROP
Experiment With the New Grain is
Proving a Success This Year
The Coming Wheat.

Through agricultural and other pa
pers there has been more or less dis
cussion concerning the growth Of
macaroni wheat'in this country. Up
in North Dakota it has been tested
for several years and has been found
to be the right thing. Several farm
ers in this section got 100 bushels in
the spring and sowed it. In CONVEX
sation with S. A. Holbrook, who
lives about four miles northwest of
the city, we learned that the 80 bus.
he placed in the ground is making a
magnificent growth, and is even GO
ing beyond his expectations. He says
that the wheat stands five feet, six
inches high, and the heads are filling
in fine shape. The stem is quite
rigid and has the strength to prevent
the wheat from lodging in extra wet
seasons. This is one OF the advan:
tages over the wheat that hasusuallJ
lbeen sown in this country. Mr.. .Hol.

TEAM OF HORSES STOLEN
James Murphy, Living North Of
Town, Was Short Two Horses
and Harness Friday.

James Murphy, living nine miles
north of town, came to the city
Friday with the information that
he had two horses and two sets of
harness stolen Thursday night. He
stated that the barn door was not
locked and the thieves had an easy
matter to get away with the animals.
Although. there were two or three
wagons and buggies around the barn
these were not disturbed. MI. MUIR
ply said thai he did not see any
suspicious characters around the place
during the day or evening, and he is
at a loss to know who to suspicion.
The robbery occurred sometime after
midnight as he did not retire until
after that hour.
The matter was turned owe tc
Sheriff Kintigh and he at once took
steps to intercept the robbers if pos.
sible, by sending information to the
surrounding towns of the robbery
with a description Of the animals.

NUMBER ~.

brook said he sowed 80 bushels on 25
acres and that it will yield twice as
much as the other wheat. This grain
will be ready to harvest in about ten
days, and is usually a week or so
ahead of the other varieties. Mr..
Hoib1ook says from what he knows
OF the macaroni wheat he thinks it
will be the coming wheat in South
Dakota, and that in the few years to
come 1T will supplant all other varie-
ties. He stated that on the wheat
market. macaroni always graded No.
2, aud never departed from it. He
said that the only thing against mac
aroni wheat, though it was a very
small matter. was that the mills OF
the northwest were not prepared to
grind it, inasmucb as it requires diff
ferent machinery to convert it into
flour than the wheat that has been
grown in this country for years. Two
OF Mr.. Holbrook's n%eighbors also put
in Is acres of this same wheat and
they have promised to give The Re
publican the result Of the experiment
when they thresh the grain. They
are rot making any estimates on
what the yield will be, but have ev-
cry confidence that it will yield O n
siderable more than the ordinary
wheat.

eleven numbers ON the program and
every one was a gem. Vocal solos
were rendered by Miss Merle Tillot-
son, MI. Fred Kratz and Miss Ella
Preston add their singing in each in
stance was never better, while the
audience made up in demonstrative
appreciation what 1T lacked in num-
bers. There were three piano selec-
tions, solos by Misses Ruth Young
man and Perle Richards and a duet
by Misses Marjorie Ruth and Perle
Richards and they were rendered in a
manner fanltless. Levi N. Tillotson
and Miss Josephine Willkomm each
rendered a n elocution number that
did justice to their talents and they
entered heartily into their work.
Lauritz Miller gave an grafton OF
1.-The Great American being a re-
counting of the deeds and the life of
James A. Garfield, a subject which
Mr.. Miller handled in a very careful
and interesting manner. A dumb
bell drill was given by five little girls
under the direction of Miss Feezer.
and the little folks went through it
in a first class manner. Their move
ments were in unison and altogether
it was a very nice exercise. Frank
and Florence Winsor played a mando-
lin and piano duet very acceptably.
1t is to be hoped that when another
concert of equal merit is given by
home talent that an audience will be
present tnat will make the young
people feel that their efforts are APP
preciated and they will then have
some incentive to keep themselves in
readiness to respond to the calls from
the public for their services.

NEIGHBoRHooD QUARREL
It Was Aired in Justice Court and
Parties Arrested Were Found
Not Guilty.

Clarence Pine, of Lisbon township,
was tried in justice court Friday af-
ternoon on a charge Of assault and
battery, it being preferred by Mrs.
Tellna Peters. A jury composed of
a. B. Kelsey, Jos. Halker, J.. Z.
Arney, 0. NJ. Butterfeld, A. j. Par
shall and F. S. Turney listened to
the evidence as it was brought out BY
States Attorney Hitchcock and II. G.
Preston for the defense. Mrs. Peters
asserted that Oliver Pine and son,
Clarence, came On her premises to get
a drink Of water and that she ordered
them off, and that %thereupon ClaI-
ence struck her in the face. In her
cross-examination Mrs. Peters de-
clared that there was no spade, whip
or weapon Of any kind around the
well where the parties were standing,
but when her son was on the stand
he said there was a spade and a whip
lying there and later testimony devel-
oped the fact that both were used on
the pines with rather bad effect.
The Pines in their testimony said
that they went there for a drink Of
water and were ordered off, and that
"a son of Mrs. Peters struck him in
the face with the butt end Of whip,
and from that a general mixup en-
sued. He thought that in the strug-
giles he may have struck Mrs. Peters.
From the testimony another son came
from the house to help out the family
and the three were lambasting the
Pines pretty hard. When they got
free from the scrap the Pines left the
premises and went to the road. The
jury looked at the case in the way
that the Peters family were the ag-
gressors and returned a verdict to
Jutsice Mckinley Of otguilty. Both
of the Pines were cut up about the
faces and body from the use CT the
spade and whip.

COUNTY CROP PROSPECTS
The .Plenteous Seasonable Rains Have
Made the Ground Produce
Excellent Prospects.

The time Of the year has come
when the whole northwest, in fact
the whole country, is interested
above all else in the prospective crop
returns. Hungry granaries and yawn-
ing ship bottoms all over the world
are awaiting the results Of thousands
upon thousands of h%aryesters and
threshing machines. HGood crops''
is today as ever the chief element in
our national prosperity. Hence the
supremacy Of agricultural topics in
the discussions Of the day.
No part of the country has been
more blessed with a proper proper
tion of rain and sunshine than the
great Northwest; no state has been
more fortunate in this respect than
South Dakota; and no county 1--WE
say it with sincerity and justifiable
pride) gives a more magnificent prom
Use of a bounteous harvest than our
own Dawson county. A pioneer says
that never in his twenty-three years
residence in this county had he seen
field, pasture and grove SO generous
in it's display Of grain, grass and fol-
iage. Indeed, SO encouraging are the
reports from every part Of the county
that one has difficulty in restraining
ones enthusiasm. The barley and
rye harvest has already commenced
and SO bushels to the acre are not in
frequent estimates Of what the farm
er will average. The oats dis so thick
and heavy that it is in danger OF
lodging and many believe that it will
easily 60 40 bushels to the acre.
Wheat, it is claimed, has neversbe-
fore jingled so loudly with the prom.
Use of silver and gold. While tile
cool weather has belated the corn
tri1e it is rapidly getting its growth
and with but one or two more season
able rains will overflow the corn cribs.
In the northern part of the county,
where the hayland is of a poorer
quality the grass stands knee high
and places that have not been moved
in ten years or more now yield ar
abundant crop. Vegetables, garden
stuff and potatoes likewise all seen
to have been in a race for the higges,
and best that fertile soils and favor.
able breezes could bring forth. Ever
the trees give a cooler shade. and
greener verdure with higher anc

before. Truly the whole county seems
to be dressed in its gayest and riches,

Society ladies to the number Of
over 100 responded to invitations sent
out by Mrs. VIM. M. Smith to at
tend a reception at her beautiful
home, orner of Fifth and Lawler
streets Friday evening. just as the
shades Of evening were closing in
the ladies began arriving at the
Smith home, and they were re-
ceiyed at the door by the little Mary
Kibbee. 1t was not long before the
rooms and the broad wide porch were
filled with guests, who chatted in
formally during evening on topics Of
a pleasing nature.
The receiving party was composed
of Mrs. Smith, her cousin, Miss
Bertha Stevens Of Smithfeld, N. c.,
and Miss Florence Fosdick, Mrs. S.
G. Boyce introducing the guests as
they appeared. The party stood in
the archway between the parlor and
the reception hall during the evening.
The decorations were indeed beau
tiful and were more or less of a Jap
anese variety. A string of japanese
lanterns were hung on the front
porch and cast a soft ray over the
scene. In the parlor and reception
hall excellent taste was displayed in
the arrangement of the roses, ferns
and sweet peas, the fragrance of
which permeated the rooms. In the
dining room the effect of the decora-
lions was strikingly attractive. In
the center of the table stood a large
dish, and from the center was sta
toned a Japanese umbrella, while
banked around it was a profusion Of
of daisies AMI nasturtiums. At each
corner of the table stood a candle
and the light was softened by the
covering of red shade. japanese
lanterns were. suspended over the
table from one side of the room to
the other.
Mrs. H. R. KiEbee, Mrs. Geo.
Rowley, Mrs. Louis Beckwith and
Mrs. Geo. E. Logan assisted in en-
tertaining the guests while in the
parlor and reception hall. In the
parlor was stationed the frappe bowl
and this delicious refreshment was
served by Mrs. III. g. Nichols, Misses
Gertrude Becker and Lenore Pres
