S. D. CROP BULLETIN.
Weather for the Past Week Was Gen
erally Favorable.

Huron, S. D., July 23.-The crop re-
port for the past week says
The weather during the week was
generally favorable for the growth of
all crops. There were we'll distributed
rains, insufficient in some limited
localities, but generally ample, and in
excess of present needs in q number of
southeastern counties. Severe and ex-
tensive hail storms occurred in Brook
,inss and Moody counties, and there
was some local damage by hail in some
other counties. &
Wheat, oats, barley and spelt are
generally filling well, but there are
many reports of oats and barley lodg-
ing in the southeastern counties, due
to rain and wind and also of more or
less rust on some wheat and oats. In
the northern counties previously af-
fected by drought, small grains, espe-
cially the early sown, are thin and
short in many fields.
Rye harvest is far advanced. Barley
harvest is becoming general. Early
oats are ripening in the southeastern
counties, and some have been harvest
ed.
Corn has made progress, except on
some southeastern lowlands. The early
planted is tasseling generally. In some
southern localities the crop is up to the
seasonal average in size.
Flax has generally made good prog
ress. Early flax is generally in bios
som, and some is boiling.
Potatoes have done we'll; early po-
tatoes of good size and quality are
plentiful on the market.
Haying and the cutting of alfalfa
were retarded by rains in the south
eastern counties. The hay outlook con-
tinues generally good in the southern
counties, but only fair in a number OF
northern counties and portions of the
Black Hills section. Pasturage is gen
orally good.
Garden stuff is generally doing very
we'll, and fruits have made favorable
advancement.

A MODERN ENOcH ARDEN.
But Wife's New Husband Died and Ole
Couple Reunited.

Hermosa, S. D., July 23.--Charles H.
jackson, Of this city, and Mrs. Olive
Belle Hopkins, Of Eagle Grove, Mo-,
were united in marriage at Rapid City
Monday afternoon, and thereby hangs
an unusual romance.
About ten years ago these young
people were joined as man and wife.
In 1898, when Uncle Sam called for
troops, Jackson responded and enlisted
in Company M, First South Dakota vol
unteers, of Rapid City, serving nineteen
months and nineteen days in the ser
vice of his country.
f, While he was fighting in the Philip
pines, his wife, hearing of the death
of G. Jackson, took to herself another
husband, one Hopkins This incident
left Jackson without a better half up
on his return to the states, and he has
since been living the life Of q single
man.
! Meanwhile, however, the Mr.. Hop
kins died, thus releasing the former
Mrs. Jackson, and now Mr. Jackson
and Mrs. Hopkins are again united in
wedlock.

DISAPPEARS BEFORE
HIS WEDDING DAY
Frank Juneman' Whereabouts
Concern the Curious at
Huron.
PERHAPS 1T is FOUL PLAY
Young Man Has Not Been Seen Since
He Went to See His intended
Bride With $500 in His
Pockets.

Huron, S. D., July PA furry Of eX-
cltement has been occaSioned here by
the mysterious disappearance of Frank
Juneman, a blacksmith in the employ
of M. l.. Tobin. The circumstances
surrounding the disappearance are that
Mr.. Juneman failed to keep an en-
gagement of business character
Monday evening. 1t has been known
for some time that he was engaged to
marry very estimable lady of this
city, the preparedness for the event
being practically completed, and the
date OF the ceremony near at hand.
The engagement referred to was the
perfecting of a deal for residence prop
erty in this city, to be occupied by the
couple, and for Which carpets and fur
niture has been selected. He spent
much of the time Sunday with the day
in the case, leaving her late at night,
to go to his rooms, since which time
no trace of him has been had. 1t is
known that he had on his person at the
time of his leaving at least $1,500, and
this fact leads to the belief that pos
sibly foul play has been practiced. The
case is being investigated.

First Issue of One Cent Daily to Ap
pear November 2.
New York, July 25.-If plans do not
miscarry, New York women will soon
have daily newspaper Of their own
a newspaper "of, for and by women"
1t will be 1-cent morning paper,
printing important general news in
tabled form and playing up all stor-
les thought to be of interest to women
With the exception of the mechanical
department. women will be almost ex-
clusively in control Of the new publ
cation. No name has yet been selected
for the paper, but it is promised that
the first issue will appear Novem Der
2. The office will be near Herald:
square.
The fact that womans paper was
to be started in New York has been
secret, only few hundred women
knowing Of it. Hayden Talbot, who is
to be the business manager, expressed
surprise today that the story had
leaked out. Mr.. Talbot said he was
not at liberty at the present time to tell
who is financing the scheme, but he
said there would be not more than five
shareholders in the corporation. Sew
eral women prominent in society and
practically all of the officers of all Of
the women's clubs In New York are en-
thusiastic over the proposed venture,
Mr.. Talbot declared. The paper, he
added, was by no means to be a wom-
ans suffrage organ, although there will
be in it symposiums on suffrage and
other topics that are likely to appeal to
the readers. The paper, however will
espouse no cause and, while the first
number will appear the day before
election, it Is not planned to plunge into
politics.

MARTIN QUITS SOUTH DAKOTA
Well Known Howard Attorney Goes t.
Oklahoma.

Howard. S, d., July 23.-Hon. l.. J..
Martin and family left here today for
their new home at Newkirk, Okla. Mr..
Martin is one of the old timers, coming
to Miner county nineteen years ago,
and has been resident of Howard ever
since. He is graduate of Ann Arbor
university, Michigan, and has followed
the practice Of his profession since To-
eating here, and ranks well up toward
the front in the ranks of law expound-
ers. He has filled many positions in
the gift Of the people. He was states
attorney for two terms and democratic
state senator from this county in the
legislature of 1900, where he acquitted
himself with honor. He is one of our
prominent business men, being mem
Der of the firm of Martin, Moore & Ad-
kins, real estate dealers, and is highly
esteemed by all who have the pleasure
of his acquaintance. The various civic
societies Of which he is member here
met at his home Monday night and
presented the honorable gentleman and
family small token of their regard
and esteem. Their loss will be sorely
felt in all the various little courteous
amenities that are g. part of the pleas
ure of life bequeathed to those who
reside in small towns, also in every
thing that would help build up the
town in which they had lived SO long.
The good wishes of the entire commune
ity follow them to their southern home.

AN OCEAN TuRBINER.
One viii Be Built if There Is DEMAND

for It.
London, July 1S.-(Special Cable.)--Dis-
cussing the report that his firm is build
ing transatlantic turbine liner, Sir
Christopher Furness said to the Ameri-
can:
II am not building turbine steamer
to cross the Atlantic. I am thinking
about it. So far, however, the idea has
not crystallized. and my friends are
going into the whole question, working
out the costs, working out the speed
working out the commercial risks. If we
can make business proposition out OF
an Atlantic turbine steamer we shall COM
mence building"
Asked for what service the contemplate
ed steamer would be, Sir christopher
said:
THAT is another matter which I can
not speak to you about yet. Speed is the
great object of the turbine principle, and
of course we only want speed for passen-
ger ships. The whole idea, SO far as am
concerned, of an Atlantic turbine steam.
er is at the present moment matter
which depends upon the practical results
of our inquiries.
'.As soon as it is proved that you car
build g. trubine steamer which will be
quicker than, and therefore superior to-
tn old style, and will also be able to stand
the stress of an Atlantic voyage. shall
be ready and willing to commence build

DID A BIG BUSINESS.
Buffalo Real Estate Dealer Was a
World Beaten on Borrowed
CAPITAL

Buffalo, N. Y, July 25.-Operating
under hctltioGs names as an eastern
capitalist in promoting many big real
estate deals, Frank V. La Boundie,
confidential clerk and bookkeeper for
Wilson & Smith, attorneys, has just
leon of finance" and stands accused
of applying 100000 of his employers
money to his own schemes.
La Boundie is now working at his
desk under Mr.. Wilson'S direction, at
tempting to untangle the maze of false
entries with which he concealed his
borrowings" for he intends to make
whatever restitution possible. He in
sists he intended repaying every dollar
ne used. His plans, however, We're
brought to an end when an alleged
fake" mortgage of his was discovered
a few days ago.
The record of La Boundies wonder
ful transactions is believed to be all
known, and his movements included the
following:
Under the name of Ollie he financed
the American Cabinet company. He
was establishing an Industrial town
called Ilmerton, his name being in that
case Walter d. Putnam. He bought
1000 feet of land in Dorchester road,
which is new street built after the
English plan, with great beds of flow
ers, banked with stone in the center,
and roads on either side. The enter
prise has attracted general attention.
The method by which La Boundie
operated was by assuming big mort
cages and paying the interest from his
own bank account.
The firm for which he worked is
composed of Charles r. Wilson and
Philip S. Smith. They care for their
own large fortunes and the funds Of
others 1ntrusted to them for invest
ment. They are young men who In
herlted estates from their fathers. Ln
Boundie is 80 years old and formerly
worked in a bank. He had the conf
dence Of his employers and had COM
plete charge of investments, collec-
tons, bank accounts and bookkeeping.
About 100000 q year Is said to have
passed through his hands.
Not long ago he was given a check
signed by Wilson & Smith to pay SIS
account He filled 1t In for $4,000,
paid the SIS bill in cash, and placed the
$4,000 to his own credit.
In one instance, by using the firms
money, he bought a piece Of property
and resold it shortly at a profit Of $751;
900. Another case is known where he
made $4,000 by judicious Investment Of
money not his own. In spirit of gem
erosity recently he gave $4,000 to the
Richmond Avenue Methodist Episco-
pal church.

is unsurpassingly fine and much of it
will run fifty bushels to the acre, while.
some of it will so even better.
The farmers say that the prospects
for wheat and oats was never better
for heavy crop, which is now SO near
ly ripe that cutting will commence by
the middle of next week. Corn has
made astonishing progress during the
past five weeks The middle of last
month this crop was far behind, but
the exceptionally favorable weather
Of the weeks since then has brought
the crop out in fine shape and it is now
considered all safe for as good a crop
as has ever been grown in this part Of
the state.
