WORMS IN THE CORN.
Not Much Damage, but Farmers Fear
for Next Season.

Farmers report what is termed "the
corn worm" in corn fields in South Da-
kota. 1t is similar to the pest reported
several years ago in Iowa corn fields,
and is a brown worm from three
fourths of an inch to an inche in length
and resembling the cutworm in appear
ance. 1t appears first at the tip of the
corn ear, working in the silk and bur-
rowing down the rows, often half way
to the butt of the ear. When exposed
to light it curls and dies.
While little damage to fields gener-
ally is reported, there is some appre-
hension as to what may result next
season, as it is said a brown-winged
butterfly deposits innumerable eggs
early in the fall which do not hatch
till the following spring, and are sell
dom killed by frost. The worm is said
to do most damage in wet seasons.
Many farmers will burn over their
corn fields as soon as the crop is gath
cred, hoping thereby to destroy what
promises to be pest to the corn next
season.

EAGERLY SEEK CLAIMS.

Arrivals in the western part of the
state report that landseekers already
are fioclling to the Shoshone Indian
reservation, which is to be opened to
homestead settlement next June, in
such numbers that it has become nee
essary to employ large force to keep
the impatient white men from invading
the reservation.
The force employed for this purpose
consists of about seventy Indian police
men. who constantly patrol the border
of the reservation. Every effort will
be made to keep squatters and pros.
pectors off the reservation until the
formal opening next year.
AS there are rumors in circulation to
the effect that parts of the reservation
are rich in gold, this may prove diff
cult undertaking and conflicts between
prospectors who are lowering about the
reservation boundary and the Indian
policemen are predicted.

WILL CLEAN OUT rENDERLo,N.
Reform Movement at Yankton Being
Prosecuted With Vigor.


Yankton, in common with some
neighboring towns, appears to be ex-
periencing a real reform movement.
Gambling places, long unmolested, are
being raided, and Joe Cotter of the
George Neefe saloon and Charles
Jones of the Pierce will answer to the
charge of having and exhibiting gam
bling devices.
Nor is this all, for determined ef-
fort is now going quietly forward by
which the tenderloin district of the
city, which for thirty years has been
undisturbed on Second and First
streets, within block of the main
thoroughfare, will soon have to move.
Men of means, many prominent bust
ness men amongst them, have associ
ated together for the purpose of buy.
ing up the prescribed district and op-
tons are now being secured upon the
property, which extends for two blocks
along the river front. One citizen, who
holds some lots worth $4,000 in this
district, has offered to deed the same
to the city, the only conditions at
tached being the cleaning up of the
district and keeping it clean. The plan
is to clear the two blocks or more of
residences and turn the space thus
gained into a city park. The matter
has proceeded so far as to begin to
look like realization.

SUES FOR LOSS OF HAND.
Kansas Man Brings Action Against
Omaha Road.

Percy w. Lindsay, a Kansas man
who came to South Dakota early in the
fall for the purpose of securing en-
ployment as a harvest hand, has in
stituted a suit in the circuit court in
Sioux Falls by which he seeks to re-
cover from the Chicago, St. Paul, Min
neapolis & Omaha Railroad company
the sum of $4,000. Lindsay in Au-
gust last was thrown or fell from a
train on the Omaha road at Hartford,
near Sioux Falls, and in falling one
of his hands was thrust under a car
wheel and cut off. There was only one
witness to the accident, and it is UNI
derstood that he will testify that a
man in uniform kicked Lindsay off the
train. At the time of the accident the
members of the train crew denied
having thrown Lindsay from the train,
claiming that they knew nothing of
what had occurred until some time af-
terward. The case will be hard fought.
1t is believed that the railroad COM
pany will base it's defense upon the
allegation that Lindsay fell from the
train

NEW PEST ATTACKS CORN.
Strange Worm Makes Raid on Cribs
and GranarieS.

Some alarm has been created among
the corn raisers of the northeastern
portion of the state by the discovery
that some of the corn has been attack
ed by pest which may do consider
able damage to corn in cribs and gran
aries.
The pest is new one SO far as most
farmers are concerned. and none Of
them has been able to clearly identify
it. The pest resembles the gray cut
worm and works entirely on the ears
of the corn. 1t attacks the ears at or
near the tips, and burrows into them,
eating out cavity and causing rot
So far as the observation of the
farmers whose corn has been damaged
extends, the worm appears to hatch
out from a nit that is deposited in the
silk and works itself into the husks.
They develop into large worm very
quickly, and then attack the ears. The
extent Of the damage thus far done by
the new pest cannot even be guessed

EASY TO GET CAPITOL FUND.
Interest in Land Sales Foreshadows
Their Result.

The state land department has sent
out circulars outlining the terms of the
sale of state building lands which will
be offered the last of this month and
the first of next month.
The lists show offerings in Potter
Hyde, Fau1k, Edmunds and Mcpherson
counties, with appraisement prices
ranging from SIS an acre in Faulk,
down to $40, the legislative limitation,
on most of the tracts. The terms of
sale are one-third cash the day of sale,
one-third in six months and the bal
ance in twelve months, with interest
after the same becomes due.
Since sending out his advertisements
OF the sales, Commissioner Bach has
been flooded with inquiries, and ex-
poets to have no great trouble in dis
posing of the necessary amount of land
for the appropriation of $15O,OOO for
the erection of the east wing of the cap
itol building.

IRRIGATION PROGRESS.
Belle Fourche Project Is Being Rapid.
iy Advanced.

6eIIe Fourche Project is Being Rapid
iy Advanced.
Good progress is being made in the
the mammoth irrigation system near
Belle Fourche, on which the United
States government will eNpend the
sum Of several millions of dollars.
The construction of both the diver
sion dam and the inlet canal has pro-
crossed satisfactorily during the last
few weeks, and good showing is now
being made. The excessive rainfall
during the early part of the season de-
layed the work greatly. but since the
dry weather came the contractors have
been able rapidly to push the work
Hundreds of men and teams are now
employed in the work, which the con-
tractors hope to have completed with
in the time limit. The work on the di-
version dam is further advanced than
on the inlet canal. An electric lighting
system was recently installed, and now
both day and night shifts are being
worked.
1t is estimated that more than one
third of the work onthedam is complet-
ed, and that one-fourth of the work on
the inlet canal has been completed.
At the present time only small por-
ton of the canal has been entirely
completed. A stretch of probably
three-fourths of mile from the dam
to Grow Greek requires only the fin
fishing touches, while about the same
distance near what is known as Giles
ranch is also nearing completion. A
distance of about one and one-fourth
miles on the proposed canal as yet has
had no work whatever done upon it.
Work on big cut of forty-five feet
near Giles ranch is progressing fairly
we'll. This is at the point where the
water will drop from the creek into
what will be known as the Owl creek
reservoir. A big steam shovel is at
work on this part OF the canal. 1t will
take some time yet to take out the
earth to the required depth. Some
difficulty has been experienced in work.
ing the steam shovel, due to the fact
that those operating it have been I'M
able to utilize more than one car dur
ing the greater part of the time. A
second steam shovel soon will arrive.
and this will be put to work on small
cut near what is known as the Gilbert
ranch. An electric light plant is being
installed at the point where the first
steam shovel is at work, and this will
enable the men operating the shovel to
keep the machine going both day and
night.
The telephone line from Belle
Fourche to the site selected for the
reservoir dam has been accepted by
the government, but it is thought that
the line will have to be provided with
heavier wire. The telephone line is
for the convenience of the government
officials who are supervising the con-
struction of the immense irrigation
system, and who for part of the time
will make their headquarters at Belle
FOurche,

AoMEsTAkE CYANIDE PLANT
To Be Erected at Cost of 100000, tc
Treat Tailinos


Treat Tailings.
The Homestake Mining company will
build 1.5OO-ton cyanide plant at once
for the purpose of treating the shines
in Deadwood. About 1000 tons of ore
are milled daily at the Homestake
mills, the tailings for $500 of which
can be reduced by gravity percolation
and go to the sand plants The other
l.50O tons are known as shines and re-
quire to be filter pressed in order to
have the cyanide solution penetrate
them. 1t is for the purpose of treating
this latter class of tailings that the
plant will be built in Deadwood. The
company has had for long time the
options on a large amount of land
which they are now taking up. AS
soon as the houses can be removed
from the location work will begin on
grading and eXcavating, so that this
can all be completed while the weather
is favorable. The shines will be
brought down in iron pipes from Lead
City, three and one-half miles away.
good deal of the machinery to be
used is being made in the company S
shops, and the main part of the presses
will come from Perrin, in Chicago.
About twenty-four OF these presses will
be used. The entire cost of the plant
will be 100000.

Yankton Citizens Take Action for New
Attraction


That Yankton will have a magnifi.
cent cement palace as an attraction a
year from now is practically assured,
the business mems club ratifying the
work of committee appointed to in.
The committee was fully approved, and
other committees were appointed to
negotiate for site, which at present
seems likely to be at Broadway and
Second streets, on space to be clear
ed for park. Much enthusiasm was
shown at the meeting. In form the pail
ace will resemble huge convention
hall, and it will be large enough to
house the largest gatherings the state
is called upon to handle.
The county commissioners are at
tending to the final accounts of Yank-
ton county's new court house, which
will be turned over to the county about
Nov. 1. Preparations are on foot for a
great demonstration at the opening, at
which all the county will be asked to
be present.
AS the result of the raid on the gam
blers of the city, Joe Cotter and
Charles Jones waived examination and
now stand committed to the district
court. Bail was given.
The city council is about to take UP
some old park bonds, amounting to
$26,000 for which new bonds will be
issued to save the difference in in

FURNISH HOMES FOR FEW CENTS
Assessors Returns Show Remarkable
Conditions.

Conditions.
Nineteen counties, according to as
SCISSORS returns. show less than a
dollar per capita of household goods.
This would mean that with an average
family of five there is less than SIS of
taxable household goods on the prem
Uses.
In Campbell county, which is largely
agricultural, with no large towns, it
is not expected that they would fur
nish their homes as people do in coun-
ties with the larger towns, and an aver
age of Is cents for furniture for the
average family might be sufficient. The
people of Buffalo, another strictly ru-
raj county, believe in being little
more ornate in their furnishings, as
they show an average of 16 cents each.
Aurora county is yet more luxurious,
with 20 cents for each person. In Rob
erts the residents get along with SO
cents each, While Charles Mix county
people are living luxuriously in houses
which 1T costs almost $40 to furnish.
Outside of Lyman county, with its
claim shanties, people in the section
west OF the river evidently live better
than do those cast of the stream. The
settlers in Stanley county evidently
furnish their claim houses much bet

sound, well matured corn. AS they are
too far from a railroad to make the
marketing profitable they will feed it
at the ranch.
Besides their corn efforts, they will

alfalfa and will be in shape to feed
their stock as well as any of the feed

Altai Estates Alone Three Times a.

So much is being written of the in
ternal economy of Russia lately that
the extent of crown lands has escaped
attention, says l. H. James, Cleveland.

an area of over 10000 square miles,
being about three times the size of
England and Wales. The Nertchisak
estates in Eastern Siberia are esti-
mated at about $4,000 square miles.
In the Altai estates are situated the
gold and silver mines of Barnaul, Pau
Low, Sinijov and Laktjepp, the copper
foundry of Gavrilov, in the Salagirov
district. The receipts from these
enormous estates are not commensur-
ate with their size, but this is largely
owing to deficit in working the
