Inc weather during the week was
generally cool and dry, except that
there were general showers, mostly
light, the early part Of the week, which
were generally beneficial. In the mid
die and upper James and Missouri
river valley counties more rain would
be very beneficial, and in some limited
localities 1t is greatly needed for late
planted crops, grass and pasturage.
There was q general frost on the 18th.

middle and upper Sioux river valley
and the Black Hills region. The fros.

the lowlands, but no permanent injury
is reported, and it is expected that re.
covery from its effects will be prompt.
On the whole, wheat, oats, barley,
rye n spelt are in very thrifty and
promising condition, especially wheat,
except on some wet lowlands in ex-
IRENE southeast counties and in linn

weather was very favorable for wheat;

The cool weather retarded the

done on the lowlands in the extreme
southeastern counties that can be
worked; and some %replanting is being
done elsewhere, due to poor seed.
Cultivation has progressed favorably.
Some southeastern fields are weedy.

Flax and millet sowing is still in
progress. Early flax is doing well, ex-
cept in the dry localities, where also
some late sown is not yet up.
Potatoes, Notwithstanding the frost,
are reported generally as growing
well.
Grass has made good growth, except
in the dry northern localities. The
hay outlook is very good except over
the southern half of the state and il
the Black Hills region, but would be

spring Recitals Of State unIyeraItv
Annex.
One OF the requirements Of the col.
lege OF music at the state university ia
that each applicant for a teachers di.
ploma at the end Of the sophomore
year In the regular course must, before
receiving such diploma, give a credita.
Bile recital from memory. In pursu.
ance with this rule eleven different
candidates for the honor have during
May and June appeared before the
Vermlllion public in recital. nine rem.
dering pianoforte and two vocal solos.
Ensemble classes of four members
each usually began and ended the pro-
gram and the intermission between
the two parts Of the program were
filled by a vocalist in the case of piano
selections and by a pianist in the case
or vocal selections. The attendance of
t~ownspeople has been large, for they
have come to regard these occasions
as a regular and most attractive feat
ure OF the spring season. For the ex-
cellent results obtained much praise
must be bestowed upon the energetic
dean OF the college, Ethelbert W. Ora
bill, who, in connection with this Sc
ries, has been obliged to supervise the
preparation of some one hundred and
seVenty-ive separate pieces, involving
sixty distinct composers, in addition to
the press OF regular duties. The latter
are not inconsiderable, since he has
brought the college to a f1ourishing
condition and has infused into its mem
bers a marked esprit de corps.
The last of these ~recitals was given
by Miss Rinnie Vaughn and lasted one
hour and twenty minutes. The offer
ings were from GODDARD, Greig, Jensen,
Mozart, Schumann, Won Weber and
others. Previous performances were
by Misses Grace Burgess, Roxiceina
Andrews, Alta Edgington, Nellye Nor
ten, Florence Beatty, Pansy Austin,
Louise Hansen. Marie Best, Mrs. Will
fans and Mrs. Logan. A profusion Of
beautiful flowers invariable graced the
stage and the presence Of the president
of the university frequently lent dig
nifty to the affair. Three separate par
ties deserve congratulation at the con.
clusion Of such an achievement-the
townspeople of Vermillion for having
such musical opportunities brought
without cost to their very doors, the
pupils for success In musical interpre-
tation and for proving their title to
promotion accorded, and above all the
department for laboriously imparting
| the details of an art and presenting the
finished product in a amer that
should be a source Of just pride to the
state.

indian Buys a Casket In Advance Of
His Sons Death.

While the Indians of this section
have rapidly adopted the customs Of
the whites in the matter of divorce
and marriage, the whites have just
been gone n better in the matter of
death. An Indian in town from Crow
Creek agency with his boy, who Is in

he might as we'll buy a coffin for the
young man while he was in town SO
as to avoid a necessity for his return.
Accordingly the young man was taken
to an undertaking establishment and
measured for a neat casket. This was
thoroughly fitted up, piled into the
wagon, and the Indian left for home,

EOUS GIANT.
Artesian Well at Chamberlain Flour
Mills Is a Monster.

A flow has been struck in a new ar
tesian we'll put down at the Chamber
lain flour mills by Hans Gutenberg,
and according to a test gauge the pres
sure of the new we'll exceeds anything
vet reported in the artesian well line.
With the pipe partially closed a pres
sure of 140 pounds to the square inch
was indicated, and with a closed pres
sure the gauge indicated 10 pounds
to the square inch. The flow comes
from a new vein about 200 feet below
the vein heretofore generally tapped
by those putting down arteslan wells
in Brue county, a vein that was dis
covered a couple of years ago by the
city of Chamberlain when putting
down a city well. The city in the
courts fought the putting down of this
new well on the ground that, as it was
being put down from a lower altitude
than the city well, the new we'll would
adversely affect the city water sup
ply. but the city was beaten on the
question in the courts. The new well
IS $50 feet deep, is Of four and one
half inch bore, and when h flow was
first struck the water raised eleven
feet over the top Of the pipe. The
well furnished abundance of power to
propel the mill, and the power has
since been applied.

cations are that they will never be

if cases sufficiently strong to secure
convictions could be presented. The
criminal cases disposed of were as
follows:
State VS.. William Black Bull,

found guilty. State VS.. Harry Pep,
charged with horse stealing; pleaded
guilty. State VS.. Claud Eagle Pipe,
charged with horse stealing, tried and
found guilty. State VS.. w. f. Phillips,

guilty.
The hardest fought case of the ses-
sion was that of the state VS.. Albert

charged with twelve head Of horses
from George Richardson last October.
The case occupied two days and ev-
cry indication favored an acquittal,
when the star witness for the defense
took the stand and testified contrary
to his previous version of the affair.

In the case of Andrew Night Pipe,

titioned the government for permits
sion to dispose of their lands in tho
northeastern portion of the state and
remove to the Fort Totten reservation
in North Dakota. The Indians appar-
emily do not like to live in too close
proximity to the whites, as the fact
that white settlers are gradually be-
coming the owners of tracts formerly
Belonging to Indians now dead and

Of Indians now living is presumed to
be the reason for their request to be

s24, 900 of their outstanding indebted
ness into the permanent school fund,
and by so doing have reduced their In

in the state. Thousands of dollars OF
public Indebtedness is in shape where
such action could be taken, and the
officials in charge could easily AXE up
