minded of the freshman in the Union
Army, who single handed and alone
captured two rebels. When he pro-
posed to bring them in, they entered
a modest protest, and argued that in
a republican form of government the
majority should rule, and as there
were two of them and one Of him,
that he ought, in common fairness,
to go with them. They finally sue

The county commissioners were
in session Tuesday and Wednesday
for the purpose of making the tax
levy and transacting some OF the
routine business. The levy for 1905
is seven mills on a dollar, divided as
follows: Poor farm, levy voted for
the purchase Of the half section pur.
chased last winter, J mill; insane
fund, ] mill; county general, 2 mills,
and state levy 4 mills.

on the INDEPENDENT. Mr.. r. reports
all former South Dakotans in that
locality as doing we'll ald pleased
with the country. He also enclosed
some clippings from a paper printed
at Spokane, telling of the immense
yield Of wheat. One field yielded
65 bushels to the acre. Another man
had 400 acres Of the Red Russian
variety that averaged 80 bushels. The
Byrne brothers had threshed half Of
1000 acres and the average was 80
per acre. These reports are all from
Kendrick, Idaho, and several others
formerly Of this vicinity. The Byrne
brothers mentioned in the clipping
are from near Volga.
IF Kingsbury county is to con.
tinue in the wheat raising branch Of
agriculture, u farmers must treat
their seed wheat for smut from this
on, at least until the smut is entirely
killed out. From what we have seen
of the crop this year we should say
that smut does not depend upon
what we generally called good or

MEN PAST SIXTY IN DANGER.

More then half of mankind over
sixty years of age suffer from kidney
and bladder disorders, usually en-
largement Of prostate glands. This
is both painful and dangerous, and
Foley's Kidney Cure should be
taken at the first sign Of danger, as
it corrects irregularities and has cured
many old men of this disease. Mr..

field, more or less. We have in mind
a fine crop Of wheat raised by I. G.
O'Hora, of Mathews township. The
wheat is fae as to weight and color,
and the yield is over 20 bushels to
the acre. The yield proves the
method Of farming TO have been
good, but there is more or less smut.
1t is so general that it is probably
safe TO say that there is not a field in
the county which is not more or less
effected. This writer has no person.
al knowledge OF treating seed whea.
for smut, but it is claimed that it
can be treated aud the smut germ
killed so that the crop viii be free
from damage. The expense Of treat
ing the seed is said to be very small.
The difference IN the price of the
clean wheat and the smutty article
of the same grade is considerable.
There must also be d difference in
the WELD as the smut balls do not
weigh up as heavy as the wheat. 1t
will certainly pay onr farmers to use
great care with seed wheat to be
planted next spring.

this writer had a pleasant visit with
NJ. NJ. Wheeler and wife, formerly
of Iroquois. Mild has a lucrative
position in the First National Bank
of Deadwood and has recently been

ably situated and are enjoying life.
While there we also met Chas,
Jencks and wife, (ther latter was
formerly Miss Halle Mouiit) who
are touring the Hills country. Harry
Wheeler was recently married to a
Chicago lady and is living in Mime
apolis, Frank Hoppin is doing well
in Lead and j. r. Smith has gone to
the Pacific coast. The Rldleys are
conducting a confectionery store in
Hot Springs, Mining properties
in the Hills are somewhat depressed
at the present time but the mining
industry has its ups and downs
along with other branches of business
and that country will doubtless get
on the upgrade again in the near
future Chief.
AT a meeting held in this city
Wednesday it was decided to make

Monday to receive aud arrange the
exhibit, The county commissioners
have agreed to pay the freight on
articles entered in the county exhibit.
This is a worthy undertaking and we
hope that any and all who can lend
a hand by furnishing articles will do
so. Our county should be repre-
sented by an exhibit worthy of its
resources, which we all know rank
among the best Of the agricultural
counties of the state. The saeeess
of the undertaking depends upon
the public spirit Of our people. Let
all take hold and do credit to the
best county in South Dakota.

Out upon the soured, scribbling
banes who are perretually Erating of
their bill! Heaven knows the world
has sorrow enough without making
record of it! Ye are not ministers of
woe and scourges of humanity and
retributfve axecutiorers. We are min
listers. Ye are merry-makers. Ye are
mountebanks. 10, your rash audi
ence waiting patiently with their trac-
table emotions! Do not say to them:
This is ordure, these are maggots!
Death turks in everything" They
know 1t. Cover the unsightly things
with shawls of silk and scattering Of
roses! We know, we know, we merry
cynics. Ay, friends, that is the poets
duty; to make things beautiful and
pleasant, to gild the furnished world.
