EARLY FAVORABLE CONDITIONS.
Today's Shooting Later Interrupted by
Rain.
By Associated Press.


SEA GRIT, N. J., August 25.-When the
signal was given today to begin hring IN
the military rifle tournament the weather
was clear and the conditions for shooting
unusually favorable for SO early in the
morning. No time was lost in resuming
work in the national individual match.
which began yesterday, but at 10 am. the
shooting was interrupted by rain.
The published program and schedule Of
events have been disregarded Instead Of
being concluded early today, the national
match will consume all of today and con-
tinue well into tomorrow. If all Of the 851
competitors get through with the slow and
rapid fire by tonight they will accomplish
more than is expected of them. That will
leave the skirmish runs for tomorrow. The
national pistol match, scheduled to begin
at l pm. today, had to be postponed.
1t will follow the national individual
match, and very likely viii be shot tomor-
row afternoon. In view of the foregoing.
the indications are strong that the national
team match, by far the most important
event of the tournament, which is slated to
start at s o'clock tomorrow morning, will
have to be delayed until next Monday.
Furthermore. it is believed that the national
team match cannot be finished in three
days. as intended. The well-laid plans have
been dsarranged by the unprecedentedly
and Unexpectedly large number Of COMPETE
tors.
Governor Stokes of New Jersey has ar
rived here to remain throughout the tour
nament.
After recess of three hours, due to the
rain, firing was resumed at / o'clock this
afternoon in the national individual match.
Capt. w. G. COrwin of New York then led
the list of competitors, with total of lS2
over the first four ranges, at 200, 800, 800
and 600 yards respectively.

During The Legislative Session
Small Crowds Rule.
OFFER MAY BE ACCEPTED
Presentation Sisters MAY Accept the
Proposition to Build "A Hos
pital i'll Mitchell.

Aberdeen News: The Presentation
Sisters of Aberdeen have been asked
by some OF the most prominent cit
liens of Mitchell to establish i'm their
city a hospital similar to the one
founded and conducted by them here.
This request was made i'm d letter to
the order FROM L. &. Burns, receiver
of the land office at Mitchell, a few
days ago. The sisters have not vet
rendered any decision, but it is the
general opinion that nothing will be
done Immediately, owing to the re-
cent illness of the mother superior.
Eventually they will probably accept
the offer made and establish "a hos
pital after the plan of st. Luke's in
this city. This will not mean the
closing or removal of St. Luke's, as
the hospital at Mltcheli would be
conducted by the branch of the sis
tiers already in Mitchell, of whom
there are four.
This is not the first time the Alb
erdeen order has been rendered such
an offer. For years the people Of
Mitchell have needed the institiu.
tion and have taken various methods
to secure it. This time Mr.. Burns
has taken the proposition up and.has
offered the sisters a half block OF
land ii they will establish the hos
pital. In his letter he cites as the
advantages Of Mitchell for a hospital
the large territory from which the
institution would draw and the great
need Of the people for it. His offer
has the consent OF every one of
Mitchell's physicians behind it. The
half block offered the sisters is in
the southern part OF Gleason's addi-
ton.
When the Aberdeen sisters begin
the work of founding the institution,
as they probably will at no very dis
tant time, they will act on the very
same plan as they did in this city.
They will build the building them
selves, only OF course the start will
be small, enlarging the institution as
its needs require. The hospital in
this CITY is a testimony of the Wis
dom OF that method of procedure,
and the high degree of excellence to
which it has attained is a great CON-
pliment to the sisters. 1t is because
o; their great success in Aberdeen
that they are offered such a hatter-
ing inducement by the citizens OF
Mitchell.

Dakota Wesleyan. many of which
have appeared in the columns OF
The Republican. He said, with
reference TO the enrolment, that

reach bet tween $50 and AGO, which
will be 100 more students than was

engagement shows TO some extent
what standing Mitchell's attraction
has among the fig musical olganiza-
tions of The east.
There has been quite a change of
sentiment among these / ands in the
past few years particularly after
they have been cut here and played
during the week. Letters have been
received from Liherati's band, Innes,s
baua, the Banda Rosa and Sousa's
band, all desiring TO make a contract
right o for the fall engagement.
Frank Christi ma, the manager of
'ousa's band. has last returned from
his trip abroad where Mr.. Sousa and
his band are now playing on the con-
tinent, and at once informed MIR.
Gale to make no contract for the
corn palace until he had been CON
suited.
Last year when MI. Gale went to
Chicago to consult with Mr.. Christi
amer concrenlng. the engagement of
Souas's band, he smiled doubtfully
on thn nrnnOcitinn nf tbnf .,,,o,
ton being brought to a place the
size OF Mitchell and above all to re-
main a week. He hardly felt like
considering the propoistion-thought
that it would be a hazardous idea to
get enough money to pay and that he
did not want. to ..embarass the Conn
mittce. When he named his price it
was promptly accepted by Mr.. Gale
for the committee. Mr.. :.Sousa and
his band came, rather doubtful of the
outcome. With their week ended
and playing two concerts in the
afternoon and one at night to
fully 1000 people at each, they
were willing to concede that a
small western town has the courage
of its convictions. That is the reason
that MIR. Christianer desires to make
another engagement for Mr.. Sousa and
his band, and we fully believe that
the people Of Mitchell and the state
at large will be a%bundantly satisfied
if MIR. Sousa is engaged for the great
week. Mitchell enjoys the distinction
of being the only town between New
York and San Francisco last fall
where Mr.. Sousa played a weeks en-
gagement.
The other bands mentioned above are
organizations Of great renown in the
east and any one Of them would prove
a strong attraction. On account OF
wanting to fill in their time it is pos
sible that the committee will COM
plete its contract within a short
time.
1t is the intention to take down the
present corn palace building in the
spring and erect a much larger ..one-
something that will accommodate the
vast crowds which have never failed
to visit Mitchell during the week.

GOVERNMENT REPORT FROM
SEATTLE ON THE WEATHER
AND CROP CONDITIONS.
Big Yield Of Cereals Is Reported From
All Parts of State Except Whitman
County.

The mean temperature of the week
was about five degrees above the nor
NAL in the western division of the
state, and still warmer in the eastern
division. The warm spell eliminated
on the 21st and 22nd with maximum
temperatures in the southwest counties
70 80 to 80 degrees. There was nathing
to be injured by the warm weather, and
it was favorable for farm work, except
that it was very warm for threshing.
There was no rain to interrupt thresh-
ing in the eastern counties, except in
few localities, 'and it is nearly COM
pleted, except in the latest districts,
such as Douglass county, where it
will be continued for several weeks.
The results of thresning show the win
ter wheat yield to have been excel
lent, and the spring wheat crop is
very good, except in portion of
Whitman county, where it was damag-
ed by heat and winds to the extent of
one-fifth. Walla Walla, Adams, Spo-
kane, Lincoln and Douglass counties
report excellent yields of wheat. Bar
ley was a very good crop and oats a
fair crop. Potatoes are less than av-
erage. Fruit, except in the irrigated
Valleys was either injured by late
frosts or blown off by high winds.
Some blowing and fall wheat sowing
nave been done, but the soil is yet
very dry.
Rains fell on three or four dates in
the western counties and were heavy
in some parts. Dat threshing was de-
layed in the northwest counties, but if
the shocks and stacks dry out soon
there win not be much injury The
yield is quite heavy and of excellent
quality. Hop picking was Interrupted
by wet weather. The crop is very I'M
even; in some places heavy in others
light; in some yards of good quality,
and in others green, rusty and in
jured by vermin.
The rains greatly improved past
ures, and helped vegetables some. Late
potatoes had insufficient moisture in
July and August, shortening the crop
considerably.
The fruit crop is on the whole plen-
tiful in the western counties.
Corn is almost a failure. Potatoes
better than last year. Fruit scarce
falfa is being harvested.
