MARCH HAS Been MOIST
Indications Are That This Will Be a
Good Crop Year-Will Plant
LARGE Acreage in Corn.

Canton, S. D., March 26.-John II.
Molsey, government weather observer,
has given out some interesting data
concerning March weather throughout
this section of the country. The pre-
c%ipitation during the present month has
been 2.16 inches, a vast increase over
the same period of the previous years.
During 1901 the March precipitation
was less than one inch, and during the
same period of 1902 1t was less than one
half. Weather prognosticators who
claim to have taken notes Of the rela-
tive conditions III previous years de-
clare that all indications this spring
are favorable to a good crop year.
Farmers are always encouraged owe
plenty of rain in the month of March
and they are more than ordinarily
pleased SO far this spring. Notwith-
standing the almost complete failure
Of the corn crop throughout this Sec
springtion last year the farmers are
preparing to plant an unusually heavy
crop Of corn again this season. There
seems to be little apprehension regard
ing poor seed corn and it is thought
that plenty OF it can be secured at
moderate prices.

ENOUGH or POLITICS.
Governor Herreid in Minnea polls In
terview Says He Will Not
Run Again.

Minneapolis, Mimi, March 2S.-Gov-
ernor Herreid Of South Dakota, in an
interview here, said that he was out of
politics from now on, and hat in the
future he would never taxi any active
part. He believes that two terms of
being governor of the state is enough
for any man.
THE people of the state are enjoy
ing prosperity to an unlimited degree.
Crops were good, and the mineral re-
sources in the western part of the state
are being developed at a rapid rate.
The mineral district OF the Black Hills,
which Is often spoken of as the richest
100 miles square in the world, will soon
double in population. The home mines
did not prevent a scarcity Of coal in
Dakota during the past winter, for the
reason that they are not yet fully
worked up to their full capacity.
The republican party is in extremely
good shape" he continued, and the
people in the state think and believe
that it is taking the right course upon
all public questions.
THE relations between the people of
the state and the railroads are ex-
tremely happy, and with good reason.
Two years ago the two great systems
that operate in the state voluntarily
reduced rates, n this has lessened the
usual amount of talk of putting certain
limitations on the roads. The two sys-
TENS are now putting on extra trains
to lake care of the increasing traffic.
The Washburn road, built last year,
was of material assistance. AS a re-
suit of recent railway extensions sew
eral towns on the Missouri river have
lately come into prominence as ship
ping centers, notably Everts, Pierre and
Chamberlain.
Last year was a great year for I'M
migration in all parts of the state, and
this year promises to be q repetition of

The game of sylph is the most recent
iy devised form Of amusement; it is in
reality electric battledore and shuttle
cock. h w players hold a wand
each, these wands having been e%lectri-
fled by friction. The shuttlecock is
represented by a butterfly made of COL
lodion. The butterfly is thrown into the
air and one or the other player APP
breaches the tip Of his wand to the So
called sylph; the electrified wands re-
pei the butterfly, which skins away as
the wand draws near In this way the
butterfly is sent flying hitler and thith-
er without being touched. A very good
game. with proper rules, Is made from
this idea.

Man Found Dead in a Strawstack.
Canton, S. D., March 2S.-Thes author

clew to the identity of the man Nc
Manus, who was found dead in an old
strawstack near the little. town of
Shindler, in this county a month or
SIX weeks ago. A young woman claim
Ing to be Mrs. Grace McManus turned
up here yesterday, and after making
considerable investigation and inquiry
declared the dead man to be her hus-
band and that they We're married in
this city November IL. 1902. After be-
Ing shown a photograph of the man
found dead and some articles found on
his person the made affidavit
that the photograph was hat Of her
husband and that the articles We're in
his possession when she last saw him.
She then demanded a death certificate
signed by the coroner, states attorney
and undertaken testifying to the death.
OF her husband, evidently for future
use. The authorities, however, refused
to grant the certificate, because they
were not satisfied with the story told
by the woman
The records at the county clerks Of
hce show that a man named Allen Nc
ManuS and a woman named Grace
Keep We're granted a marriage license
on the date stated and that the cere-
mony was performed by County Judge
+. Z. Cuthbert. Those who We're pres
ent at the marriage freely identity the
woman as being the one who married
the man McManus on this occasion, but
they refuse to identify the man found
at Shindler as being the same McManus
concerned in this case. They say that
the man who married Miss Keep in
Canton. November II last, was a young
man of less than "a years of age, while
the dead man was above As.
There are other circumstances con-
nected with the case which render it
exceedingly mysterious. McManus and
the woman were In the city but a few
days at the time Of their marriage and
only lived together three or four days
when McManus disappeared and was
never ear from, leaving his recently
welded spouse penniless and without
friends to return to her parents.
Mrs. McManus Is accompanied here
by her father. whose name is Keen and
who resides at Hull, where the family
rs we'll known. Nobody here Is able,
so far. TO account for the mysterious
coincidence. 1t is believed there is q
chapter in h McManus case that has
never been brought out into daylight.
