Canton, s. D., Aug. 31.-The past
three days have been most disastrous
ones for South Dakota. 1t has rained
almost continually, over two inches of
water falling in the past forty eight
hours, and the steady, soaking precipi-
tation has been of character well cal
gculated to play havoc among the small
grain, which had already suffered ma
terially from too much rain before this,
and has now become seriously dam
aged. Unless the weather changes
from wet to permanently dry almost
Immediately, the splendid crops of
wheat, oats and barley that were har-
vested but are still largely in the field
unstacked and unthrashed will be COM
pletely ruined. The corn crop Is also
In critical condition because the rip
ening period for 1t Is rapidly drawing to
Z close. 1t needs now about two weeks
OF good ripenins weather to make 1t
safe, while every day of rain, which
retards Its maturity, hastens the crop
to day of destruction by frost. The
entire population of this state and in
view of the practically complete fall
ure OF the corn crop in certain parts
or Iowa and other states, the people
over the entire northwest are alb
sorbed with anxiety over the result
that awaits the South Dakota corn
crop. II the weather turns favorable
within few days and remains so for
two weeks. this state will produce the
heaviest corn crop it has ever had.

Estll Springs, Tenn, Aug. "a
Many questions are being asked Of Mr..
G. D. Holt of this place in regard to
his wonderful recovery. For over two
years he has been down with his back.
He was so very bad that he could not
even lace his shoes, and from this con-
dition he suddenly appeared we'll and
strong as ever.
1t is no wonder therefore that his
friends are asking him "How did you
do it,"
He tells them alt: 'Dodds Kidney
Pills did it," and adds: "This remedy is
a genuine good medicine and one that
l can heartily recommend to every
body.

Thieves Arc Busy.

Canton. s. D., Aug. 28.-The officers
of this city and county continue to re-
ceive notices of stolen horses and cat
tie from different parts of the state and
from outside of the state. Many cases
give reports of teams that are stolen
from off the streets while the owners,
who are In most instances farmers, are
In the cities doing business. Strange
as 1t may seem, while the cases Of this
kind are numerous, In not single one
have horses stolen in this manner ever
been heard from again, and no clew
to the identity or whereabouts Of the
thieves can be discovered.
The first number Of the Canton city

been completed and is now being de-
livered to Its subscribers The work
gives good satisfaction. The city has
also been numbered and free delivery

has taken private census of the city,
which shows population Of $500, an
increase of 600 In the last three years.
