US sought to improve our wheat, and
after duly casting about struck out
for the rapidly becoming popular
Macaroni wheat, which we obtained
to the extent Of 100 bushels, which
went to Messrs. Strother. S. A. Hol-
brook and L. B. Wheel, all of Mitch

who put it into the ground without
extra preparation, and where itgrew
nicely and now stands forth in all it's

are interested in wheat growing and
it's general improvement. Widel's
field is on the corner of No. I, Hol-
brooks a short distance north,

thoughtful farmers for quite a pleas

it bids fair to become the wheat Of
this section, draw their own infer

provement or still continue sowing
the small berried, superannuated
mongrel Wheats and be content with
general ~inferiority. Mr.. S%trothers'

Milwaukee Brakeman and a Sum
mer Tourist Had a Dispute
Over a Free Ride.

Lou Allen, one Of the many sum-
mer tourists passing through the
city at the present time, lies at the
Highland house with a broken collar
bone, the result of disputing the
authority of a Milwaukee brakeman
concerning his privilege of riding
without paying fare. There were
about twenty-five Of the tourists
who were determined to ride on a
stock special going north late Friday
afternoon, but the parties who owned
the stock informed the brakeman
that they did not want the hoboes
on the train for fear of disturbing
the animals. The brakeman in
formed the tourists Of this, but that
didn't go-they were going to ride
anyhow. and two Of them climbed on
top of the stock car. The brakeman
argued the matter with them for a
moment and they absolutely--refused
to get off. With that the brakeman
hauled off and took a punch at AL
len. He fell from the car and light
ed on his shoulder breaking bis col
lar bone. 8 The tourists at once took
mp a collection among themselves
and a little over 81 was collected with
which to pay his board at the High
land house a week. He was taken
there and DR.. Ball was called to ad-
minister to the injuries of the man.
Allen lives in Iowa and claims he is
travelling through the country in
search of work.

GETTING READY FOR FAIR
Yankton People Getting Good Start

Yankton Press and Dakotan and
Gazette: Preparations for the state
fair OF South Dakota, to be held at
Yankton. September IA to IS, are now
under way, and the plan of the man
ayers is to make it a decided credit
to the state. This indicates that the
agricultural board and state fair
officials have set their mark pretty
high, for South Dakota has already
won an enyiahle position as one of the
bestland most promising agricultural
sections Of the United States, and a
c~reditable South Dakota fair, n
that will fifty represent the state,
will have to be a first class agricul-

Nature has possibly denied to this
state the resources that would enable
her people to build up a great man.

stead has given to the state with
lavish generosity, resources of a far
more valuable and substantial char

its soil and the salub1ity of it's eli

the attention of the people OF the
world is the primary purpose of the
exhibition to be held in September.

THE UNION SERVICES
New SUPERINTENDENT of Anti-SalOon
League Spoke at the Union
Services Sunday Evening.

Sunday evening there was another
large audience at the union services
held in the corn palace. The devo-
tional exercises were conducted by
Rev. D. R. Tomiln, who lead the
singing, Rev. T. h. Youngman, who
lead in prayer, and Rev. S. J.. Sur
beck, who read the scriptures. R. H.
Briggs sang a sacred solo with splen-
did effect.
The speaker OF the evening was
Rev. 81. S. Hilton, of Indianapolis.
Ind, who has just arrived in tie
city to take charge Of the Anti-Sal-
0 League work in the state, and
this method was taken to introduce
the gentleman to the citizens of the
city, as he intends to make his
headquarters in Mitchell in the
future. Rev. Hilton did not confine
himself to any particular phase of
the temperance question but briefly
tuoched many Of the issues before
the people. He regarded the saloon
as the greatest evil of the church and
he believed that it would be through
the church that the liquor business
was to be overcome in the future.
He agreed with the remark Of some
person that it was time for the
church to stop passing resolutions on
the evils of the liquor traffic and get
down to thorough work in the sup
T. l--l---l H. LL-
league did not endorse the control Of
the traffic, but that it stood solely
for the suppression, humiliation of
the business. He illustrated his
speech with many incidents to more
thoroughly impress his ideas on the
audience. At the close a collection
was taken up, or rather, cards were
distributed through the audience
pledging a certain sum Of money for
the support of the league during the
coming year.

DELIVERED UP A WATCH
Observation-Disclosures Thief Sends a
Watch to Chief Keith That
He Lifted Recently.

When Chief Keith got his mail
Friday he found a small package,
which on opening he discovered to be
a gold watch. Accompanying the
watch was the following note, writ
ten on some wrapping paper:
Chief of Police. Mitchell Please
give this watch back to its owner.
Some of your policemen can find the
owner, because they know who it is.
Mr.. timers. I think is the name.
Did not take the watch, but I saw
it as soon as he left the man. Mr..
timers did me a good turn oncee and
that is the reason l cont want him
to lose anything on my account. I
have plenty Of OTHER watches and
can spare this one for his sake.
Yours truly,
Mr.. Catch-me-if-yOu-can.
MI. timers is unknown to Chief
Keith and he can have his watch by
proving the property. The unknown
individual mailed the watch on the
south side in one Of the mailing boxes
Thursday, and it remained there all
night through The storm, as the pa
per was still wet when it came to
Chief Keith: 1t is rather a peculiar
circumstance, and Mr.. timers can
thank his lucky star that at some
time he has performed some fellow
an act of kindness. The adage of
casting bread on the waters seems to
be applicable in this case.

FOR CHURCH PEOPLE
Mrs. H. NJ Clark Provided a De-
lightful Evening For Members
Of Congregational Church.

The home of Mrs. H. NJ. Clark on
east Fifth street was the scene of a
very happy gathering Thursday even
ing. Mrs. Clark had previously ex-
tended an invitation to the members
OF the church and congregation and
the scholars of the Sunday school to a
lawn party and they gathered there
IN great hunters on this occasion.
Splendid preparations had been made
Tor the company and the lawn and
grounds were transformed into a
beautiful garden. Japanese lanterns
were strung on the east side and cleo
trio lights were also used to, add to
the beauty Of the scene. Tables were
spread on the lawn and with the
white draperies and the flowers they,
too. looked pretty. Mrs. Clark pro-
Ylded the refreshments and a large
number partook CT her hospitality.
The following young ladies assisted
the hostess in serving the large COM
pany: Misses Marjorie Ruth, Florence
Dickson, Jessie Walrath, Fannie Nc
oOlIulCh, MAUI hlCllGEuSOD, EOlUQ
Miller, May Waterman, Ora Olmstead,
Una Smith, Grace Beckwith, and
Miss Nellie DeJean, Of Plankinton.
The lawn party was given for the
purpose of bringing the new people
of the church into closer relations
with the older members. There are.
a number of new people attending
the church and an affair of this kind
assists materially in cementing the
friendship that will help build un
the membership. Before the e
ing's pleasures were over a storm
came up that caused a portion of the
guests to be served in the house, and
many of them took their departure
earlier than they would otherwise.
1t was a very pleasant affair and Mrs.
Clark is entitled to the thanks of the
church people for her efforts to in
crease the feeling Of fellowship
among the members.

IN. AN INSANE ASYLUM
Jos. HavlatkO, Of This City, Went
Insane at Marshall, Mimi. and
is Confined i'll Asylum.

The st. Paul Dispatch of Friday
contained an announcement that Jos.
Havlatko, Of this city, went insane
at Marshall Mimi, a few days ago
and that he had been sent to the asy-
lum at st. Peter. The young man
has been at Marshall for three or
four months and had been stopping
with a cousin. Chas. Havlatko re-
ceived a letter this morning from
the superintendent of the asylum
stating that his brother was improy-
Ing slowly since his confinement,
and that doubtless he will be all
right within a short time. Charles
Havlatko said that three or four
years ago his brother fell from a
building and struck on his head, and
ever since that time he has been
afflicted with trouble Of the brain.
These spells have come on him three
or four times a year but that the boy
vas not violent in any of them. He
has recovered from each Of the attacks
after a short rest and treatment.
The superintendent also stated in his
letter that the patient had slept quite
a good deal in the past three or four
nights, which was a good indication
for an early recovery.

THEIR TRIP TO BOSTON
Mitchell's Young Lady Contingent
Put In Their Time Thoroughly
Down in Boston.

The young ladies of the Mitchell
contingent who made the trip to
Roston to attend the National Edu-
c%ational Association report that they
had a most delightful time. While
they devoted some time to the edu
cat1onal features yet they were quite
liberal in sightseeing. There are
many historic points of interest in
and around Boston and but very few
of these were passed up by the party.
On reaching Boston they were taken
care of by ar arrangements commit
tee CT the city, and they we're at
once provided with a place to stop.
They had been warned not to check
their grips and Of course had to carry
them a part Of the way. but they
were intercepted in that arduous work
by the little boys who had been pro-
vided for this purpose and they were
always on hand to attend to the wants
Of the visitors. AS one of the young
ladies' expressed it: II think the
Boston people were just perfectly
lovely. They were so willing to stop
and answer questions, no matter what
the rust was, and the policemen were
models Of courtesy and kindness.
Boston people are not encompassed
with the hurry and lush Of the more
western citIes."
The party visited Faneuil hall, the
Old South and North churches,
Bunker Hill monument. and some of
the party insisted on going to the
top. The party inspected the beauti-
full buildings and grounds Of Harvard
University, and also went to the
homes Of Longfellow and Lowell.
The formers daughter still resides
at the old homestead. The ladies
made a trip over the famous Paul
Revere road from Boston to Lexing-
ton and stood under the tree where
Washington took command Of the
continental army.
Another day was spent in visiting
Plymouth, and they stood on the
famous PLYMOUTH Rock and also saw
oO"O VI CAlC 1u1llUulS WHICH Chile
over in the Mayfower. They visited
the cemetery where many Of our fore
fathers are buried. The ladies took
a,cheap ride on the trolley line, go
ing from Fall River to Newport, a
distance of thirty-ive miles, for Is
cents. At Newport, the famous
summer resort, they mingled among
the millionaires Of the world and
found things to their liking in a very
large degree, but they tore themselves
from their pleasant surroundings and
went to New York by steamer, MAX
Ing the trip during the night. All
the party got out early III the MORN
ing to witness the sun rise as they
were sailing into New York harbor.
Returning to Boston a portion Of the
party. the Misses Foster, Miner and
Haynes, started on their return trip
home. They made a brief stop at
Niagara Falls, taking a ride on the
boat under the falls, an experience
the participants will never forget.
The ladies arrived home Friday eve
ming well tired out, but thoroughly
satisfied for having used up about
all their energy in their two weeks
jaunt.

that ne should sit down. One of
the best speeches was that of fair

Florida Everglades to be Drained.

Washington, May 22.-The last
refuge of the Seminole Indians in
Florida is taken away by the newly
published decree Of the United
States land Office, which throws
open the Everglades TO occupation
by the whites. That famous region
of swamps, which covers something
like 100 square miles, will be i'm
mediately parcelled out into farms,
and steps will be taken without delay
to drain it and make it available
for agricultural purposes. Already
there has been planned a mighty
canal, 500 wide and so miles long,
which will connect Lake Okeecho-
bee with the Atlantic Ocean, for
the purpose of carrying off the floods
of the rainy season.
This canal, which will cost $2,-
900, QUO, is to be constructed by
Philadelphia capital. No special
engineering difficulties are involved
in the digging of it, and it will
carry off the water readily enough,
inasmuchJ as the territory to be
drained is considerably above the
level of the sea. w 18th a depth of
II feet, it is easily calculated what
an immense volume of water will
run off through the ditch. The soil
being like so much soft muck, the
work of excavation will be easy,
and it will be necessary merely to
start steam dredge in at one end
and 60 straight ahead.
In this way, it is reckoned, not
less than 100000 acres will be re-
deemed from the swamp-all of it
land of extreme fertility, covered,
as it will be, to depth of several
feet, with a deposit comparable in
richness to the Nile mud. This
deposit, consisting largely of de-
composed vegetable matter, has
been laid down during many
thousands of years, and will hardly
need the tickle of a hoe TO laugh
with a wonderful harvest of garden
truck, rice and sugar cane. Indeed
the Everglades region a few years
from now is likely to be an immense
garden patch, producing in winter
unlimited quantities of spring
vegetables and summer fruits for
the markets of the North.
