TO TRY NEW LAW.
D. LoffIer of Sioux Falls Will Furnish
Test Case.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 11.-Dr. Gill
bert Lofler, a prominent resident of
Yankton, has been arrested by Sheriff
Huston Of this county, and returned
here On tn charge Of practicing medi-
cine in this county without a license.
The accused is a brother of DR.. C. j..
Loff1er Of this city, manager Of the
Sioux Falls team OF the Iowa-south
Dakota ball league. The case was in
stituted for the purpose of testing the
validity Of an act OF the last legisla-
ture requiring the payment OF $500 for
a license to travel from one part of the
state to another for the purpose of
practicing medicine. AS the. Loff1ers
are wealthy, there is no doubt there
will be a long and interesting legal
battle over the matter and the new law
will be tested to the fullest extent.
Practically every physician in the state
will be interested in the outcome.

Kimball, s. D., Aug. 12.-There isn't
q thing the matter with crop condi-

though the east half OF Brule county
will have the best corn crop 1t ever
raised. Nothing can prevent 1t but hail
or early frost. The corn is fully as far
advanced now as any former year, and
he average over the county promises
to be high. Our small grain crop is
he best in years. Fields OF wheat
south OF Kimball will go from 10 to 25
bushels to the acre. The rye and bar
ley crop is the best since any Of US
remember. Rains have been frequent
the past two weeks-over three inches
here--and they helped out what was
feared would be a short hay crop.

JOINT CONFERENCE
 TO MEET MONDAY
MINERS AND OPERATORS WILL CONSIDER WAGE scALE-THE MINERS WILL PRESS THE EIGHT HOUR DAY CLAUSE.

The joint conference of the United Mine Workers and the coal operators to con- sider a wage scale for the ensuing twelve months will begin next Monday at 10 o'clock. The session will be held in Fox's hall.
 The Coal Operators association has held several meetings within the past few weeks. 1t met Thursday when the wage question was pretty fully discussed. There will be another meeting this morning. The operators, like the miners, hold their meetings behind closed doors when mat ters pertaining to new scale are con sidered. While it is believed that the min CTS will make a demand for an advance of cents a ton, an eight-hour day and a twice-a-month pay day, nothing will be given out until the joint conference assemblies. when the proposed scale adopted by the miners convention Thurs day will be presented.
 John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, will be in Bir- mingham Monday. It is supposed that he will use his most earnest efforts to put through the eight-hour day clause.
