An even dozen separator explosions
have occurred in Sphinx county since the
threshing season commenced the
threshing outfit in most cases being
entirely destroyed. The explosions are
attributed to smut in the wheat, which
caused a highly carbonized dust to
form. The dust becomes iginted by
spark from the separator and the explo-
sion follows Sections of Sphinx county
are said to be seriously affected with
smut, due to the failure of farmers to
treat their seed wheat before planting.
VIM. H. Freeman of Ashton, had the
misfortune to lose two Of his fingers at
Andover Thursday night by getting
them caught between the bumpers Of
the east-bound passenger train. The
first and second fingers Of the right
hand were completely mashed off, and
the third was so badly injured that
upon first examination by DR.. Broad
way it was thought necessary to ampu-
tate it, but more careful examination
under chloroform showed the bone was
not crushed and that il was not neces-
sary to remove it.

Chicago newspaper men passed through
Selby Thursday on their way to Evarts
to take trip across the reservation and
the country to be opened mp by the
extension of the Milwaukee road from

weeks on the trip and will thoroughly
look over the country. State Geogolist
Todd is also with the party.
The postoffice department has issued
an order requiring all boxes ON rural
! routes to be numbered. The idea is
that by using numbers fewer mistakes
will be made in delivering mail. Visi.
tors or helpers getting mail with a pat
ron on any rural route need only to
designate the number of the box and OF
the route. So many patrons have the
same OF nearly the same names, that il
is difficult to deliver mail to transients
stopping with them. Before numbering
your box ask the carrier what your
number is.
Nick simons, butcher in the employ
of Erickson g. Johnson of Sioux Falls
had close call for his life Friday and
as it was, received bad gun shot
wound in the arm. Simons with a
helper were at the slaughter house east
of Sioux Falls. They had completed
their work and were ready to return to
town. The helper picked mp the rifle
which is used to shoot hogs and threw
it into the wagon. The gun was dis
charged and the bullet, a 44caliber,
passed through one of Simon's arms
making bad wound. The man was
taken to town and the injury given
proper attention. Simons will have a
sore arm for number of days but
nothing serious is looked for unless
blood poison should set in.
A destructive prairie fire devastated
strip of country between Bath and the
Elm River Friday afternoon, burning
over strip between three and four
miles long and half a mile wide. The
fire started on school section 36 north
of the Great Northern track about noon
soon after special train had passed
and swept northwest, Over 100 men
were out with teams and plows fighting
the flames. but in spite of all their
efforts, hundreds of tons of hay were
burned. Charles Weller lost large
amount of wheat and Mr.. McNamara
lost 40 acres of hay which he had just
finished stacking, saving his machinery
only after hard fight. A field of green
fax stubble saved Eli Harrington
farm from being overrun. His cattle
had narrow escape and were rescued
by tearing down the fence. The fire
burned into Isaac Lincolns cornfield on
the northwest OF section "a but died out
before doing any damage there.

Mrs. T. T. Stuverud, of Sisseton was
the victim of very painful accident
last week. While taking down gar

and the contents spilled over her face
running down her neck and body which
resulted in very serious burns. Luckily
she closed her eyes quickly or she might

Bruce Cox. who was arrested about Q
month ago on the charge of attempting
to kill Henry Dunkel at the latter's
home about nine miles west of West

A census bulletin just received shows
that the state of SouthDakota employ
more teachers to the school population
than any other state in the union,
except Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont. We employ 23C
teachers for every 10000 children OF
school age; North Dakota, 1T; Mime
sofa, 1871, and the central west an aver
age of 1876. The country at large
employs only only 40 to 10000 child
rem of school age.
The people of Buffalo and Lyman
counties think the census report of pop
ulation sent out when the figures were
completed do them an injustice, as they
show heavy loss of population for
Buffalo and only slight increase for
Lyman. The fact is that the govern
ment census of 1900 counted the Indians
on the Lower Brule and Crow Greek
reservations which lie in these two
counties, and credited about / O00
Indians to each of them. The state
census this year counted only the
whites, emitting this Indian population
which made quite difference in the
final showing of the figures.

the early days Of pioneering when the
settlers twisted hay for fuel because
coal was too expensive, he smoked
cigars of his own raising and making.
He believes from actual experience in
raising and using it that the climate
and soil of South Dakota are admirably
suited for tobacco culture.

disconsolate old man. Tom L. John
son takes pleasure in serving the
people of his city. He lives as any
gentleman in his position should live
taking all possible legitimate enjoy
ment out of life. Nothing serves to
discourage him. When he is defeated
he only smiles and tries again. He
enjoys his automobiles and his horses
and does not allow the possession of
great wealth to interfere with his
happiness. He too has been sub
jected to much criticism and has been
made the butt of ridicule because of
his radical ideas. No amount of crit
icism or ridicule, however, is suf-
ficient to interfere with the course
of life of this virile and right
minded man. To be characterized
as the best mayor of the best gov
erned city in the United States by
one who has Investigated them all
is pretty high recommendation
November will tell the tale as to
whether or no the Republican leaders
are able to get rid of Tom L. john
son.
