The enlisted men on ship are divided

THE NEW BALTIMORE.
Mighty Task of Rebuinding that City
Now Progressing Rapidly.


A short time ago one gazing over the
recently burned business heart of Balti-
more would have jumped to the conclu-
sion that Baltimore had suffered an ire
parable loss. Before the view were
acres of ruined and dismantled build
ings, in and about which armies Of men
worked in an apparently aimless manner,
accomplishing nothing. Crackers said
the work of rebuilding the city was be-
ing conducted wrongly; that the city was
dead. But at last order has come out
of chaos and appreciable progress is be-
ing made In the work. So vast was the
task of rebuilding that it required months
to secure even a start upon the work.
There are now some 400 substantial
buildings we'll under way, including sue
cessors 10 the tall and supposedly fire
proof structures which readily gave way
to the flames. This time they are fire.
proof. A mammoth sc%affolding sur
rounds the skeleton of each structure and
skilled workInen are making every effort
to have the Offices ready for occupancy
before snow flies.
Plans have been prepared n are still
being prepared for dozens Of substantial
warehouses and storerooms. The NUM-
cipality, too, is spending from $S,000,000
to $1O,0OO,00O in improvements on the
streets, docks and markets. At the time
Of the fire many of the streets were mar
row and crooked. They are being wild
ened. Strengthened and extended to meet
the demands of modern trade and travel.
The daily payroll alone in the burned
district is estimated at $4,000, or $780,
600 a week. Nearly all of this money,
however. is being turned back into the
channels of trade as all of the workmeu
and their families are living in the city.
Insurance companies have paid out $780,

WEATHER HELPS THE CORN.
Despite the Cool Temperature Crop
Shows "a Decided Improvement.

Despite the COL Temperature Crop
Shows "a Decided Improvement.
The weather bureaus weekly
OF crop conditions is as follows:
While the latter part of the week was
abnormally cool in the Ohio valley, lower
lake region, middle Atlantic States and
New England, the temperature as a
whole was favorable for maturing crops.
Portions Of the south Atlantic and the
east gulf States suffered from excessive
rains, while drouth prevailed over a large
part of the central and west gulf States.
Occasional showers, very unusual for the
season, occurred in central California,
and there was more than the usual rain
tall in the western plateau districts.
Freezing temperature is reported from
central Wyoming and light frosts from
Colorado, Montana and portions Of Ohio,
Pennsylvania and New York.
Although cool weather has prevented
rapid development Of corn in the Ohio
valley and the lake region, the crop as
a whole has experienced a decided i'm
provement. Much Of that Frustrated b.!
winds in the previous week in Indiana
and Illinois is Strengthening. In the
Missouri valley the temperature has
been more favorable and the advance
ment of the crop toward maturity has
been much more rapid than in the cen
trail Mississippi and Ohio valleys.
Early corn has already matured in
southern Missouri and is ripening rapidly
in Nebraska and South Dakota, cutting
being in progress in the first named State
and in Kansas. The reports indicate
that from three to four weeks of favor.
able weather will be required to mature
the late corn.
The week was practically rainless in
the spring wheat region Of Minnesota
and the Dakotas, affordfng favorable
weather for harvesting and thrashing.
Some early wheat in the northern por.
ton of North Dakota is yet unripe and
rust is still damaging late wheat in that
State and much Of the crop will not be
cut. Disappointing yields are generally
reported from Idaho, Washington and
Oregon.
In northern Alabama and in the south.
ern portions Of Mississippi and Louisiana
cotton has improved and the crop is in
good condition in Oklahoma and Indian
territories, but elsewhere the reports gem
orally indicate unfavorable progress. De-
terioration from rust and shedding is re.
ported from nearly all districts. Heavy
rains have proved injurious in portions
of Florida and Georgia, while over q
large part of Texas the crop has suffered
decidedly from dTouth.
In the last mentioned State boil worms
continue destructive and boil weevils are
puneturing nearly all SQUARES in the
southwestern, central, eastern and coast
divisions and are causing much damage
as far north as Dallas, Kaufman and
Hunt counties. Picking is in full pro,
gress in Texas and is general in the
southern portions of the central and east
eM districts.

The ANIMAL assessment throughout the.
entire Black Hills is now in full pro-,
gress. Every man owning one claim is
required by law TO do work amounting
to Sl0o for each holding. There are a
great many claims in the Black Hills
that are not patented and therefore re-
qulre the annual work to be done. 1t
means the distribution of a large amount
Of money, for supplies of all kinds must
be purchased and labor employed. As
is usually the case, a good many new
strikes and finds are made on account Of
this work. Reports are coming in every
day of new discoveries which create
quite a bit Of interest in the different dis
tricts. There is a tendency at the pres
ent time TO do better and more honest
work on the part of the owners of these
claims. In the past there has been quite
a great deal of lead pencil work done
by which means the owners relocated the
claims and held them indefinitely without
much representation in the way of work.
AS it is now, there has been so much
good development work lone by well or
gained companies, that adjoining claims
are practically opened up and the owners
are following the ore shoots or veins in

The injury by rust to the wheat fields
of the state is causing the farmers Of
South Dakota to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of embarking more generally in the rails
ing of winter wheat as a substitute for
the spring variety. Some few farmers
throughout the state who experimental
with winter wheat this season had such
good results that it is predicted it is on
ly a question Of time until South Dakota
will become a winter wheat state. The
farmers of the state have studied the
question sufficiently to know that winter
wheat must be put in with a drill, in
stead of being sown like spring wheat,
or it will freeze out. Experiments nave
shown hat winter wheat which is drilled
in between the rows Of standing corn
does much better than that put in on
wheat, oats, barley or other small grain
stubble. When the corn stalks are cut,
the part that remains in the ground holds
the snow and forms a protection for the
wheat during the severe cold of winter.
Authorities agree that in this latitude
winter wheat does best if drilled into the
ground the latter part Of August or fore
part Of September.

For the first time since the law limiting
the annual wolf bounty appropriation to
$1,000 the amount has been oyerdrawn,
and under the provisions of the law, the
amount of 5000 annually appropriated
must be divided pro rata among the hold
srs of bounty certificates. The total
amount asked for by certificate holders
was $8,19S, and the appropriation dis
tributed among these holders pays them
81 cents on the dollar of the full legal
bounty. As the appropriation has never
before been exhausted, county certificates
have been bought up by investors at a
small discount from those who did not
care to wait a year for their money,
and have always been paid in full. This
time the Investors will find their pur1
chases a losing proposition, and it is not
likely that an appropriation can ever be
secured to cover the deficiency, as the
law is specific in its provisions that
where the claims exceed 5000 they shall
be pro rated to all the holders.
Some time ago a small building was
constructed, and in that has been placed
a collection of agricultural exhibits
which attracted a great deal of attention
from visitors at Pierre. Within the past
week the fruit exhibit has been ar
ranged, and includes principally apples
and plums, besides the wild fruits native
to that part of the state. One small limb
bearing sixteen large apples was brought
from the Marion orchard, on the island
between Pierre and Fort Pierre, and a
number Of plates of fruit have been fur
nished by other fruit growers. That
part of the exhibit shows that fruit grow
ing has been receiving considerable at
tention in that section the past few
years.
In the case of the petition for a par.
don for Charles Moody, sentenced from
Sanborn County Aug. 20, 1901, for a pc
Rod of four years and six months, on a
conviction of the crime of grand larceny,
which pardon was recommended by the
board of pardons, Gov. Herreid has de.
clined to issue the pardon. Moody was
convicted of cattle stealing. His prison
record is not a good one, showing that
he has had to be punished on several oc-
c~asions, and is serving his second term
for a like offense.
The examination papers from the diff

two weeks ago, have all been received

Of instruction and the board of examiners
are busily engaged at marking them
The total number sent in. was 1866 sets
