And endless strife.

With wisdom guiding me unto
A better land.
Through its yelled future. Lord, be this
My prayer, my plea,
That it may bring me nearer still,
Dear Lord. to Thee.

Agent Hunt. of the general land office
at Washington, is in the city arrang-
ing for the details attending the open

be avoided no matter how large the
crowd may be. Interest is apparently
growing as the time approaches for the
registration. as the land officers, as
we'll as business men, are daily receiv-
ing hundreds of inquiries regarding
the matter from all over the United
States. and the advance tide has al
ready reached the city. Five fast
steamers will ply between Chamberlain
and the lands to be opened, so that all
may have a convenient means of eN-
amtnng the land. BY this means q
person will be able to reach any por-

ESCAPE FROM REFORM. TORY.
Two Girls from School at Psnkinton
Captured After Two Hours.

Sioux Falls, 5. D., May 3l.-The au-
thorities of the state reform school at
Plankinton had quite an Interesting
time recapturing two girls, aged 16 and
II, who made their escape This is
said to be the first time in the history
OF the institution that any of the girl
inmates attempted to escape. Hereto
fore the boy inmates have had a
monopoly of striving to gain their
liberty by flight. The names of the
two girls have been Withheld from the
public, but it is known that one of
them formerly resided in Sioux Falls;
in fact, was sent to the institution from
this city, where She is prominently con-
|nected.
The girls did not have very good sue
cess, for they We're recaptured after
being at liberty less than twenty-four
hours. They made their way unnoticed
to the basement of the building at
about midnight, and crawled to the
outside through one of the windows.
The next morning their absence was
discovered and searchers We're at once
sent to scour the country in every di
rection.
Superintendent S. f. Young, of the
reform school, While returning late in
the afternoon from a search for the
missing ones at White Lake, had his
attention attracted by what appeared
to be an object or objects in the grass
near a railroad track. He decided to
Investigate, and was somewhat sur
prised when the objects proved to be
the runaway girls, who had adopted
the Indian method of making their way
through hostile country by conceal-
ing themselves in the daytime while
waiting for the darkness of night SO
they could resume their journey.
/ The two captives admitted that it
was their intention to walk to Cham
berlain. where they. had friends.

ROBT. h'LANE SUICIDES
Mayor of Baltimore Shoots Himself
While in State of Temporary
Alteration,

Baltimore, Md, June Mayor Rob
ert NJ. McLane of this city shot and
killed himself at his home yesterday.
His bride of less than two weeks was at
the time asleep in an adjoining room,
and was awakened by the discharge OF
The revolver, which Mr.. McLane evil
IDENTIFY fired While standing before the
mirror of the dressing case, the bullet
going through his head.
Mrs McLane and other members of
the household rushed to Mr.. McLane's
assistance, but he did not regain con-
sciousnes, and expired within an hour.
No cause can be assigned for the act
by the members of MIR. McLane's fam
ily Since the fire of last February he
mas beeen kepe assiduously at work adj
mnistering the affairs of the city, be-
sides endeavoring to direct the rehabili-
tation and rebuilding of the burned dis
trict. This, together with criticisms by
his political opponents, is thought by
many to have caused a temporary abb
erration of mind.
Mayor McLane was elected as n
democrat to the office of chief mas.s-
trate of the municipality in May of last
year for term of four years. Under
the city charter he will be succeeded
by L. Clay Timanus, republican, pres
ident of the second branch of the city
council. TO serve out the uneXpired
term. The second branch of the coun-
ell, which is republican, will elect a
president, not necessarily member Of
the present body, to preside over its
Deliberations.
Mayor McLane was SO years old, the
youngest chief executive Baltimore
ever had. He was the son of james L.
McLane, president of the First Ma
tional bank, and nephew of Robert M.
McLane, former governor of Maryland
and United States minister to France
during President Cleveland's first adj
ministration.
Previous to his election as mayor he
had for four years filled the office Of
states attorney, in which he had distin-
guished himself. During his brief admin
istration of the MAJORITY office he had
brought upon himself the antagonism Of
the regular democratic organization by
the appointment of independent members
OF the party. Recently there has ben
marked opposition to him among demo-
cratic members of the city council relat-
| ing to the rebuilding of Baltimore, and
this is ascribed py many as contributory
| cause of suicide.
Mayor McLanc was married two weeks
ago to Mrs. Mary Van Bibber, a we'll
known and popular society woman of Bal
J timore, and the newly made bride is pros
I tratcd by the terrible tragedy.
| The dead mayor was very popular
among the people irrespective of party.

ing the fore part of the week was cool.
with moderate to generous showers. The
latter part of the week was generally fair,
with more favorable temperatures.
The rains somewhat retarded field work,
more particularly in the middle Black
Hills and the extreme southeastern coun-
ties
Wheat. oats. rye. spelt and barley made
favorable advance. especially in stooling,
but there is still considerable complaint
of sea uttered fields of early grain showing
thinner stand and more weediness than
expected on the whole, however, wheat
and also the other small grains are in
very favorable condition.
Corn planting is nearly finished, hut re-
planting of some of the early planted
fields was found necessary, because of de-
fective seed. The corn that is up looks
we'll, but cool weather the fore part of
the week retarded its growth and also
the termination of the later planted.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT.
Upper Missouri and Mississippi Valleys
Have Had Too Much Cold
Weather.

Washington, June 2-The weekly
summary of crop conditions issued by
the weather bureau follows:
With the exception OF the northern
Rocky Mountains region and the upper
Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys.
where the early part of the week was
too cool, the temperature for the week
ending May 80 Was favorable In all dis
tricts, especially 10 the eastward of the
Mississippi river and in the west gulf
states.
Oklahoma, portions of Iowa, Missouri,
WISCONSIN. Ohio and Pennsy ylvania have
suffered to some extent from excessive
moisture, while drought continues over
a large part of the south Atlantic and
east guilt states. Well distributed and
beneficial rains fell over the greater
part OF Texas and the central Rocky
Mountain slope. Light frosts occurred
in Wisconsin ana heavy damaging
frosts III Montana, Idaho and the east
crn portions OF oregon and Washing
tom.
Continued northerly winds caused
considerable damage TO fruit and pos
sibly jured grain in California. Rain
is generally needed ON the north Pacific
coast.
Except in the more northerly sections
where corn planting is much delayed,
this work has progressed under fa-
AANr>'
cate that a large amount Of replanting
will be necessary throughout the CEN
trail valleys and lake region, due in. part
to poor seed. Cut worms are causing
much damage in the Ohio valley and
Middle Atlantic states. General i'm
provement is Indicated in the southern
states.
General Improvement in the condition
of winter wheat is Indicated in the
principal wheat states but the condi-
ton of the crop continues very poor in
the Ohio valley. Harvest is in progress
in the southern states. Early sown
spring wheat is growing nicely, and
the general outlook for this crop in the
spring wheat region is promising.
Some fields in South Dakota. however,
are weedy, and late sown in North Da-
l1ora has not terminated we'll. Nearly
all reports respecting oats indicate that
this crop in the spring wheat region is
! promising. Early oats are heading as
far north as the central Mississippi
valley and the southern portion of the
I middle Atlantic states.

Washington, ID, c., June 2.~-The In
dian bureau is desirous of selling the
Indian school farm, located some five
miles from the Indian school at Pierre

of this Indian school farm, in which he
advises that if a reasonably good price
can be obtained by the government it
would be advisable to sell.

"a, which is state land. and is asking that

feel that the best interests of the state
would be served by selling right of

diagonal manner, until there is evil
dence that the road will certainly be
built.
There appears to be a disputed question
as to which, if any, of the established
roads is back of the new road In the
vicinity of Watertown the opinion ap-
pears to be that the Northwestern road
is keeping an eye on the progress of the
work, while at the Webster end of the
line it is said that the Milwaukee road is
back of the move. In the meantime the
farmers who projected it appear to be
going ahead with surveys and securing
rights of way.

FIGHTING CATTLE NANCE.
South Dakota Officials Giving Much
Attention to Disease

Pierre, S. d., June lin discussing
he prevalence of cattle mango State
Veterinarian Foster called attention to
It's Importance to live stock growers.
The national bureau of animal industry
mas taken the matter in hand. and hats
provided that cattle which have been
exposed, or which have been dipped
only once, may be shipped out of the
state for slaughter but must be shipped
IN cars branded exposed cattle" or
tinfected CATTLE" as the case may be,
and that such cars must not be used
again until they have been thoroughly
fumigated and disinfected. penalty
Of fine of from $100 to $1,000 is pro-
vided for a violation of this order.
While this order does not prohibit the
shipment of stock out of South Dakota,
it places shipments under such restrc-
tions that the work will be greatly
hampereG this year unless radical ac-
ton is taken at once by cattle owners.
The regulations require dipping twice
at periods two weeks apart. before the
cattle are considered safe. The bureau
now has two men in the state one at
Aberdeen and one at Huron, to watch
shipments passing through those points
and will place men at all large ship
ping points later in the season. L. j.
Eagel is at Huron and A. e. Wright at
Aberdeen.
In several instances county commits
soners have taken up the matter Of
providing dipping tanks. Aurora coun-
ty has already taken action. while
plants are being constructed at county
expense in Mcpherson and Edmunds
counties. and the commissioners of
Sully county are in special session to
consider petitions for that purpose.
