REGISTERING IN THE RAIN.
Wet Weather Doesn't Stay Rosebud
Rush.

Nearly 1900 people registered at Bone
stee, Thursday. Rain fell drearily all
day, but Notwithstanding this the street
scenes were as active as ever. Clothed
in all sorts of rain protecting clothes
hom.eseekers traversed the reservation,
laundering through mud and fain III
search of homes. The magic city of Bone
steel is a sea of mud. The tents are be-
draggled and the boomers ore more so.
Despite a steady, heavy downpour or
rain all day Thursday, 397 names were
recorded at Chamberlain for the Rosebud
drawing.
A torrential rain fell at Yankton
Thursday. Registration proceeded under
difficulties. A crowd W blocks long
stood in line at each of the registration
offices. The notaries are reaping a har-
vest. One firm cleared S115 on the hrst
day. The total number registered
Thursday was 2.S79.
Thursday morning a steady rain fell
at Fairfax, making the streets sloppy
and disagreeable to homeseekers. The
crowd is very light. Everything is quiet
and orderly. The only regret expressed
is that there is not land enough for all.

SAVED BY FIRE FIGHTERS.
Blaze at Mt. Vernon Threatened {
Wine Out Town.

The little town of Mt. Vernon, fifteen
miles west of Mitchell, came near hav-
ing another disastrous fire at an early
hour Wednesday morning. About two
months ago the town was nearly de-
stroyed by fire, when FIVE elevators were
burned.
At midnight flames were discovered in
a billiard hall, and two other buildings
adjoining, a meat market and restaurant,
We're consumed within an hour. Nearly
every person in the town was out carry
ing water in buckets and barrels, and
the flames were confined to these three
buildings.
At j O'Clock it looked like the flames
were going to get away from the fight
ers, and help was summoned from Mitch
ell. A special train was got ready by
the Milwaukee road and 300 people re-
sponded to the fire alarm which was
blown to arouse Mitchell people. When
the train reached Mt. Vernon the flames
were about cut. The loss will not exceed
$4,000.

eoNEsTEEL's MARROW ESCAPE
Cyclone Sweeps Near Mushroom
City.

A Bopesteel dispatch states. One OF
the ~iercest hail storms ever known In
this country, preceded by a small cyclone,
Wednesday evidenced the character OF
climate that sometimes visits the prom
ised land of the Rosebud.
The hailstones were actually as large
as hens eggs, some of the big ones being
collected at the government registration
Office.
The first evidence of the storm occurred
in the form of a cyclone cloud which APP
peared on the horizon in the afternoon.
1t was plainly visible from Bonesteel and
was funnel-shaped
At 6 o'clock another one formed. Bone
steel had just a touch Of it, and tents
and light sheds were overthrown. This
was followed by the hailstorm which
swept by with a furious rush. Windows
We're broken, the big stone hurting
themselves through the tents, breaking
plates in the eating houses and causing
a panic. The storm lasted only a few
minutes.

WIDESPREAD STRIKE.
1000 Packing House Men wsIk Out
MT Sioux City.

NJ sioux lily. q
Six hundred men at the plant Of the
Cudahy Packing Company at Sioux City,
Ia, walked out at noon Tuesday, and
practically every remaining workman is
expected to quit.
The nearly 1000 packing employees in
Sioux City who are now idle are but one
fortieth or one-fftieth part of those who
are affected by the strike, which is gen
eraI, and in which between 10000 aud
$4,000 packing house employees are TAX
ing part.
That the packing house employees of
Sioux City are thorough believers in the
justice of the strike was amply demon
strated at q mass meeting which they
held in the Bay State block Tuesday
evening. Furthermore, that they intend
TO conduct the strike along legitimate
lines, without violence of any kind, also
was amply demonstrated.
The meeting proved to be one Of
the most stirring events in the history Of
Sioux City labor circles. More than l.
600 men assembled in answer to the call.
The big hall in the third story of the Bay
State block was packed as never before.
Every foot of standing room was occu-
pied and every step in the stairway lead
ing to the hall was packed with strug-
Cling men anxious to make their way up
to where they could hear and be heard.
Cheer after cheer arose from the crowd
as some speaker gave expression to a
sentiment that found favor among the
striking men.
Despite the fact that the crowd was
dense and eager, it was well beloved in
the extreme, aud its disposition Sas un-
~mistakably for an orderly and bloodless
strike. The sentiment of all of those
who took occasion to address the assem-
blage was for order.
A Chicago special says: As the result
OF a disagreement, one of the most ex
tensive strikes in the history of the meat
cutting industry Of the United States
began Tuesday in Chicago, Omaha, Kan
sas City, Sioux City, st. Joseph, Mo-, and
other cities where large packing plants
are located. If prolonged, the strike is
expected to cause widespread inconven-
fence, possibly eQualing the anthracite
coal famine of two years ago. The una
nimity Of the strike was complete. More
than $4,000 employees are directly in
yolyed

CROPS IN FINE CONDITION.
Rains of Past Few Days Checked
Growth OF Corn.

The growth of corn in eastern South
Dakota has again been retarded by the
rains of the past few days, which have
added several inches to the rainfall of
the past few weeks. The recent rains
were not needed, as the ground was in
good condition, but, farmers say it vas
better for it to COME when it did than
two or three weeks from now, at a time
when small grain is ripening and prep
a~rations are being made for the COM
mencernent of harvest.
Crops of all kinds continue in first class
condition in the eastern part of the state,
corn alone being backward. Small grain
promises one Of the largest yields in
the history of the state.

PREPARING FOR THE HARVEST
Grain Almost Ready for the Machine
in Moody County.

Farmers about F1andreau are prepar-
ing for harvest. Some fields of rye are
searly ready for the machine.
Barley is ripening rapidly, and is a
good stand. Wheat and oats are gener-
ally good, though some fields are short
and thin. Flax is doing finely, but the
acreage of this and wheat is consider
ably cut down from previous years. For
the last two weeks corn has been jump
ing, though many fields are thin and not
far enough advanced to mature before
frost time. There are a number of
fields, however, which look fine.
OF general feed there is an abund-
ance, and also Of garden vegetables and
especially potatoes.

BIG ESTATE IS INVOLVED.
The Paris Courts Are Trying a Re-
markable Case.

A remarkable case in which George A.
Church, of Mayatt Point, X. l., is the
central figure is being heard by the tri-
bunal Of the Seine at Paris. M. Poulet, a
wealthy Partisan capitalist, disappeared
fourteen years ago during a worlds voy-
age. He left $25O,000 in French bonds.
After waiting the statutory period, the
heirs asked for a division of the estate.
Thereafter a will was filed dated at
WAND, Java, in which Poulet gave his
entire estate to a man named Church.
Counsel for the heirs sought to Gre
ate the impression this was another case
OF mythical Crawfords. like the Humbert
case, while the counsel for Church main
tanned their client actually exists. The
court thereupon adjourned the case to
permit Mr.. Church to be presented, or
proofs of his identity to be given.

SPOT A DANGEROUS ONE.
Several Narrow Escapes Where the
Skogue Children We're Killed.

The jury which was summoned by
Coroner George III. Fulford to investigate
the deaths of the three children who were
Killed about a mile east of Brandon by
an incoming passenger train on the Oma-
ha Railroad, has returned a verdict to
the effect that the three children came to
their death by being struck by the en-
CINE, but that the company and the train
men were blameless.
1t was learned that a number of per-
sons have narrowly escaped a similar
fate at the point where the children met
their death, the crossing being one of the
most dangerous on the Omaha road.

ton will be made to the British govern
ment for authority to transport the re-

The death OF Kruger aroused wide
spread regret at Paris, France, owing to
French sympathy for the Boer cause and
personal admiration for the ex-president.
When Kruger recently left Mentone
his health was gradually failing, through
old age, constitutional disorders and
throat troubles, which threatened to ex-
tend TO his lungs. Near friends recog-
nized his once ragged constitution was
gradually going to pieces. Visitors de-
scribed him as being a pathetic figure OF
calm endurance. His eyesight was dim
med, but he sat much at times with his
bible open before him, nuttering well
known passages. He expressed the belief
that Providence would eventually rem.
der justice to the Boer cause.
S~tephanus Johannes Paul Kruger was
born at R~ustenberg, South Africa, Oh
Oct. 10, 1895. He was one Of the great.
est statesmen in the history Of South AZ

affairs OF the South African republic.
He was four times chosen president OF
the republic. AT the close of the Boer
war, when the Boer forces had been
crushed by the British armies, Kruger
