Excellent Progress Throughout State.
Pierre, s. D., Aug. 24.-The weekly crop
bulletin for the week ending Monday, Aug
ust q, follows:
CAN reference to wheat applies to spring
wheat, except where otherwise noted
The temperature during the week was
favorable. Rains somewhat retarded har-
~vesting, stacking, and threshing Of small
grains in the eastern portion Of the state,
but field work was esumed the latter
part of the week. Threshing from shock
is in progress In the southern counties,
where also stacking of small grains is well
advanced.
In the northeastern counties, wind and
rain lodged some standing wheat and late
oats, and there was also some local dam
age from hail In several counties In that
section of the state.
Wheat harvest is practically completed,
except In the northern counties, where,
however, 1t is now general and with fav-
orabl weather will soon be finished.
There has, on the whole, been no material
injury TO wheat from rust, and reports in
dicate that the crop is now practically
past danger therefrom, and, where
threshed, mostly good yields and quality
of grain arc indicated. There is, however,
considerable complaint of smut.
The oat crop is on the whole good, and,
except In a few northern counties, cutting
is finished. There is a little local COM
plants Of oats in shock being injured by
the recent rains. The harvesting of a
good crop of spelt Is nearly completed.
Barley harvest is practically completed,
but there is considerable complaint of bar
ley being discolored. and recent rains have
locally injured some in shock.
Corn made very good progress, is In
promising condition, and much of the ear
iy IS in the roasting ear stage. IL the
southern counties, corn was much bene-
fitted by recent rains.
Potatoes. flax, millet. grass and alfalfa
did well. Fla is very promising, some
has been cut, and the outlook for pota-
toes Is good.
After harvest haying is In progress. The
outlook for a generous crop Of hay Is good.
and much is already well secured in
stack. Pastures are in good condition, and

An Unprecedented Run OF HARD
Luck Accidents Is Reported
From Yankton.
FARMER a WIFE
Used a Six -Shooter, Stove leg and Q
Flat Iron, but in View of Pre-
vious Good Name He Was
Not Prosecuted.

Yankton, Aug. 25.-OIe Torgerson, a
farmer residing "a Aten across the
river, while returning home Saturday
from Yankton, was in some manner
thrown from his rig and died shortly
after being found by his family. The
team was discovered tangled up in
some wire not far from home. A
search revealed Toergerson, uncon-
scious, lying by the roadside. Physi-
clans were unable to revive him n he
died without regaining consciousness.
A wife and eight children survive.
=. z. Nelson, who vas killed last
week, also left eight children, while
William Scheel, who killed himself
ac~cidently while hunting a short time
since, also left eight children. thus
making tw%enty-four children left ia
therless through accident in this com
munity within Il very short space OF
time.
A c~oroner's inquest, held Saturday,
completely eXhonerated Tom Pfefferle
from all blame in the death Of Martin
Hagge, who apparently died from the
effects of a broken thigh received by
being thrown dow by the saloon keep
err Pfefferle. Medical testimony showed
that Hagga died from he~morrhage, re-
sulting from the rupture of some blood
vessels, caused by Il constitutional dis
ease of long standing.
Reports still come in about Sunday
nights storm, especially from the north
part of the county, where even grain
stacks were torn to pieces. Many farm
ers lost barns, amongst them George
Carter, Abel Abelson, William Hill and
others. The last named also lost his
house, the storm cleaning the place
completely, so report has it. Corn is
picking up around town, but north the
crop is permanently damaged.
Benjamin l.. Smith. n young farmer,
was in justice court yesterday charged
with assauiting his wife with Il six
shooter, q iatiron and a weapon pre-
pared from a stove leg. Great brutality
was revealed, but the states attorney,
in view OF q little family, and the prl-
soner's evident repentance, gave him a
chance to reform. The mex offense
will land Smith in the state peniten-
tiary on the charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Aug. Part. Rev.

attracted considerable attention here.
Since the taking over Of Cuba and Porto
Rico by the American government the
archbishop Of New Orleans has been
Rome's special representative to these
countries, and Gishop O'Gorman, on ac-
count Of his Identification with the Taft
commission 10 Rome, in regard to the friar
problem in the Philippine islands, is said
to be the best equipped Of the American
hierarchy for the position. 1t is sad bish-
OPP O'Gorman. on account of his extensive
acquaintance AT Washington and Rome,
would be a valuable man in the settling
Of the intricate questions of church and
state that are bound to arise in these pos
sessions.
In connection with the story that O'Gor-
man may be made an archbishop rumor is
already busy selecting a successor to
O'Gorman. Among the names mentioned
is that of Bishop Stariha, of Lead, s. D.,
who is a very energetic man from the Hills
country; Rt. Rev. Thomas Flynn, vicar
general, and Rev. w. S. O'Meara. 1t Is
