Wearing of White Tall Hat at Irish
Races Causes CONSERVATION.
London special: There are expecta-
tions that the kings visit to ireland
will bring about a revolution in English
male headgear. Hatters are much ex-
cited over the announcement that his
majesty wore tall white hat at the
Phoenix park races.
Five or six years ago a West End
halter represented to the then prince of
Wales that the art Of making a white
tall hat" was in fair way of being
forgotten.
Make me one them commanded
the prince.
The duke of Connaught also came to
the rescue of waning industry, but
without any lasting result. The
white" hat-which, by the way, is not
white, but gray, and is known in the
trade as drab-had had it's day.
"His majesty is always doing the
right thing for trade" said well
known halter yesterday, "but I doubt
If he will succeed in reviving the fash
ion of twenty-five years ago. We sold
hundreds of gray hats then where now
we sell one"

REPORTS ARE FLATTERINe.
Hughes County Crops Are Threshins
Out SplendidIy.

Pierre, S. D., Aug. 12.-The report Of
the first threshing in this vicinity is
very hattering, indeed, hard to beat.
Jack Henkle's wheat will show an
average of 80 bushels, barley SO and
oats so to the acre. Potatoes are yield
ing 100 bushels to the acre, while the
hay crop, which was feared would be
light, is going to be fine; even the
ranchmen on the Cheyenne river who
were most fearful of short crop, re-
port that the recent rains have started
the grass to growing so rapidly that
their fears are allayed.
The whole western part Of the state
is covered with very rank growth Of
grass and unless destroyed by prairie
fires will make good rustling for herds
and hocks this winter.

Harvesting Of That Bumper Crop is
Satisfactory.

Satisfactory.
Kamball, s. D.. Aug. 12.-There isn't
a thing the matter with crop condi-
ttons hereabouts, and it now looks as
though the east half of Brule county
will have the best corn crop it ever
raised. Nothing can prevent it but hail
or early frost. The corn is fully as far
advanced now as any former year, and
the average over the county promises
to be high. Our small grain crop Is
the best in years. Fields of wheat
south of Kimball will go from 10 to rs
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 short hay crop.
Heavy dews nightly of late and all
vegetation as rank and green as early
spring. The country as whole looks
better than any time this summer
