DIPHTHERiA AT YANkTON.
Thirty Cases of the Disease Among
School Children.

Yankton has thirty cases OF %diphtheria
among the school children of the city, and
a committee of the board of education is
investigating the situation. If the num-
Der of cases increases to any great de-
gree, it is likely that the schools will be
closed. A large portion of the victims
have been attending the Garfield build
ing, and DR.. G.. G. Gross, president Of
the board of health, is making a special
investigation of the sanitary conditions
of the building.
Many parents have temporarily with
drawn their children from school pending
the announcement of the result of the
investigation by the authorities. So far
there have been no fatalities and the
cases are, for the most part, a light form
of the disease.

A CRANE OLO TREE.
Immense Cottonwood on Ex- Senator
Pettigrew's Farm

FetGigrew's rartn
On the mammoth 1,30O-acre farm OF
former Senator Pettigrew situated south
of Sioux Falls, is what is believed to be.
the largest and oldest tree in South Da-
kota. Since early days the tree has BEEN
a familiar landmark in that part of the
state.
The tree is a grand old native cotton
wood, and appears to be nearly 100 feet
in height. This monarch of the forest
measures q feet and q inches in circum-
ference, making it about o feet thick at
the base. Former Senator Pettigrew !
when asked about the history of the tree,
said:;
'~Thirty-ive years ago, when l first
saw the tree, it looked just the same as
it does now. i can see no difference I'M
size. The tree must be very old. This
ground was originally a presumption,
which Clark Coates took from the gov,
eminent. When Coates, Nye Phillips
and | were living in the old barracks
and patching IL we used to come down
here for fuel. That is when we first dis
covered the tree"

PUTTING CORN IN THE CRIB
Many Dakota Fields Will Yield 20
Bushels an Acre.

The corn crop in southeastern South
Dakota is now going into the crib as fast
as men and teams can place it there.
The husking in Yankton County began
last week and the returns show the crop
is not only larger than that of last season,
but is greatly better in quality. The fact
that there has not yet been any freezing
weather has held back cribbing the corn.
but now the corn is in prime condition.
Huskers are being paid 3 cents a bushel
and labor is scarce even at that price.
The yield is or In average fifty bushel
to the acre, but many fields will reach
seventy bushels.
