Ing batsmen, along In April. and May,

of their personal equipment had been
causing them more or less concern and
lent more power to their elbows; they
kept the paths hot for awhile and some
times carried home two pairs Of Royals

used az a billiard room and iouDeins
place for the bankers and brokers who
crowd the place. Several large brokers'
offices are on one side Of this room and
there is a balcony for musicians.
The tables and the decorations have
all been taken out and s50,000 has been
set aside by the hotel management to
provide one Of the finest club rooms
for bankers and brokers In the world.
The room will be done in red and gold.
and the furniture will be of the finest
French walnut
The barroom will also be enlarged,
and a large oblong bar will be placed
in the center and small tables scattered
along the walls.
The most remarkable work that is be-
ing done in the whole building, how
ever, is the change in the grand BALL
room. This apartment, which has been
in demand for teas, musicales, concerts
and levees, has had its drawbacks for
the reason that the roar of traffic in
the streets would at times drown the
violins or the voices of the artists. The
Waldorf-Astoria management has de-
termined to make this room sound-
proof and to that end is spending thou
sands of dollars.
All of the windows are being sealed
up and ventilation will be had from
the huge dome to which the room rises!
An addition also is being opened at one
end to improve the acoustic properties
and to give greater seating capacity,
When this room is completed 1t will be
the most perfect music room In the
world. l
According to the statistics of impor-
tations at the port of New York for
the fiscal year ending June 30, twice as
many precious stones have been
brought into America during the last
twelve months as during the twelve
months that preceded 1t. The appraised
value of diamonds and other precious
stones brought through the port Of New
York during the fiscal year showed a
total of s33,223,164.
Automobile statistics, as shown by the
appraisers report, also are interesting
During the last fiscal year 1856 cars of
total value of $4,000, 900 were imported,
compared with 435 cars at the value Of
$1,500,000 the year before. rs
Spectators who purchased large
quantities of Japanese and Formosa
teas in anticipation of either an ulti-
mate Russian victory or the indefinite
prolongation of hostilities in the far
east, now are having difficulty in dis
posing of their holdings. Except for two
weeks, when the Russian North Sea
fleet was approaching Japan, the ex-
ports from that country have not been
interrupted, and the new crop of tea,
now is coming forward in large guam
titles.
The crop from Japan this year is es-
timated at 1S,O0O,000 pounds, against
0,000, 900 last year. This falling off is
more than counterbalanced by the old
tea held over, which is now being Of
fered at sacrifice. Formosa tea, which
sold readily at 14h cents pound be-
fore the recent Japanese victories, is
now offered as low as 13 cents, and
sales are slow. The American market
had been overstocked and for this rea-
son an unusual dullness set in.

LID" GOOD FOR HILLS.

Belle Fourche and Hot Springs Among
Cities Expected to Join Reform
Movement.
The germ of propriety is getting in
it's work throughout the Black Hills,
and the lid" is proving popular. Fol-
lowing the example of Lead and Dead
wood, the other cities in the Black
Hills are beginning to look with hor-
ror upon the roulette wheel and the
faro table. Sturgis already, after
years of quietness, has closed its
gambling and is attempting to enforce
the saloon regulations. 1t is reported
on the best Of authority that Belle
Fourche and Rapid City also will move
in the same direction, and that Pen
nington and Butte counties do not in
tend to be left behind in the race for
piety.
This will work a greater change in
Belle Fourche than in any other town,
as since the regulations We're enforced
in Lead and Deadwood. Belle Fourche,
with it's busy center and the great
irrigation works, has proved an at,
tractive location for many gamblers
and saloon men. 1t has been run as
the most wide open town in the
Hills, and though orderly in all re-

NEW 2oo-roN STAMP MILL.
Work on Victoria Property Progress
inq Well.

Work on the new 2OO-ton stamp mill
on the Victoria property at Deadwood
is progressing very satisfactorily. The
railroad spur has been completed,
grading for the mill is now completed
and the actual work of erection is
under way. About fifty men are en-
ployed, and it is stated on good au-
thority that the mill will be running be.
fore cold weather sets in. In the mean
time large force of men is at work
at the mine opening up the ore bodies
and doing great amount of develop
ment work so that when the mill is
completed there will be no lack of ore
and so that it may be handled in the
cheapest manner possible. The ore
is in the fiat formation under the lime,
and for 1,10O feet the ore body has
been uncovered. 1t has a thickness
of something like twenty-five feet 1t
is not only Of good grade, but there
is said to be an ineXhaustible supply,
which will insure the Victoria becom-
ing one Of the reliable dividend pay
ers of the Hills.
Work on the Eleventh Hour property
lying across the gulch from that of
| the Victoria. is also progressing we'll.
This company is at present grading for
mill of the same capacity and style
as that of the Victoria.

these 1852 are foreign born. The city
of Huron has population of 1878, a
gain of $50 in five years. This popu-
lation is 2,O2S male, with 400 foreign
born. The city has 1,OO8 school chill
dren. The population of the other
towns of the county is: Hitchcock,
1876; Cavour. 1875; Wolsey, 152.
The final figures for Brookings ooun-
ty show population of 14,012, a gain
OF 1,451 since 1900 The male popula-
ton of the county is 7,434, and the
foreign born population numbers 2,SO3
The city of Brookings has population
of 1926, a gain of 919, and 467 of the
city population is foreign born. Vol
ga has $50; Elkton $50; White 479 and
Aurora 213.
Aurora county shows population of
1852, of which 2,453 is male and 2,1O9
female, with a foreign born population
of I'll. This is gain of 551 for the
county for five years. The population
of Plankinton is COG, while it was 465
five years ago, and $3.50 in 1890. This
gives Plankinton gain of two in fit
teen years; and places White Lake at
the same point it was at that time.

FIND IT PAYS TO SEEK SETTLERS
Revival Of the Demand for immigration for the State
of South Dakota.

The greater gain in North Dakota's
population when placed in compari-
son with that of South Dakota, for the
past fifteen years and since the separa-
ton into two states, is being made the
subject Of discussion as to the reasons,
and the revival of the demand for an
immigration bureau for the state
North Dakota has looked we'll to this
line of work, and, moreover, the two
great railroads which cross the state
keep in existence working immigra-
ton bureaus of their own. The result
is shown in the census figures. Every
legislature which has been asked to
assist in this line of work has refused
to consider the proposition, and moth
ing has been done. Real estate men
in Northwestern cities outside the
state, when asked why they turn their
clients to North Dakota instead of
South Dakota, frankly say that it is
easier to induce men to go to state
which is assisting them in their work.
The complete census figures for
Beadle county in South Dakota, shows
total population of 1O,054, of which
5,455 is male and 1880 females, and of

GREAT OVATION TO PRESIDENT
Warmly Greeted by Abstainers and
Mineworkers.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. u. - The
president of the United States, who
came here yesterday and made an ad-
dress to the delegates attending the
annual convention of the Catholic To-
tai Abstinence Union of America, was
given most enthusiastic reception.
In fact, the entire trip through New
Jersey and Pennsylvania to this city
was a series of ovations. But his
greatest ovation was in the Wyoming
valley, where he spent four very busy
hours. The entire valley from Schick-
shiny to Pittston took holiday to do
honor to the president. Mr.. Roosevelt
was in great good humor and enjoyed
the day as much as the most enthusi-
astic total abstainer and mineWorker.
Wilkesbarre was dressed for the oc-
casion. The greatest crowd that the
municipality ever had within it's con-
fines was in the city, and it is estima-
ted the visitors numbered upward OF
100000. The president arrived at 3
o'clock and was driven directly to the
speakers stand on the river common.
Besides the president, those who
spoke were Cardinal Gibbons, Mayor
Kirkendall of this city, John Mitchell,
president of the miners union, and the
Rev. J. J. Curran. After the exercises
the president was driven about the
city, going to the Wyoming monument
and from there to Pittston, where he
boarded his special train and left for
Chautauqua at 1920 p. m.

RAINIER WAS DARK HORSE.
New Superintendent of Public lnstrue.
ton Was Not Active Candidate.


Prof. NJ. NJ. Kramer, until recently
principal af the city schools at Mitch
ell, received his appointment as sup
erintendent of public instruction, to
fill the Vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Hon. George w. Nash, who
was appointed to the position of pres
ident of the Aberdeen state normal
school.
Prof. Nash's resignation takes eff
feet Sept. /.
Prof. Ramer's appointment was
made by Gov. Elrod after a due con-
sideration of the candidates for APP
pointment and he was selected strict
ly on his merits as an educator and a
man equal to the position which he
will fill. In the names that have been
suggested as candidates for the APP
pointment Prof. Ramer's name has
never been mentioned. Prof. Ramer's
appointment is charged up to Grant
county, where he taught for several
years.
Prof. NJ. M. Ramer was born at
Lewiston, Mimi, Feb. IL, 1869, and
accompanied his parents to Tower
City, N. D., in 1880. He began his
studies in the common schools and
later took course in the normal
school at Moorhead, Mimi, attending
a Baptist college later in North Da
kota. He began his teaching career
In the country schools of Cass county,
North Dakota, in 1888, where he re-
manned for five years. He was then
called to the schools of Big Stone
City, S. d., in 1893, and after serving
there period of time he was elected
superintendent of schools of Grant
county, which he held for four years,
the limit under the law. From 1902
to 1904 he was the principal of the
schools at Milbanl, where he made an
unqualified success of his work.
Last year he was secured by the
board of education of this city to ac-
cept the principalship of the Mitchell
schools, and the year he has been here
has demonstrated his great worth as
an educator, and he was re-engaged
for the ensuing year. In January he
was elected to the position of presi-
dent Of the South Dakota Educational
association.
Prof Kramer is what might be term
ed self-educated man. His schooling
days We're necessarily limited and his
attainments have been wrought out
by steady application to his books
during the long hours of the night,
devoting himself assiduously in better
fitting himself for his work. For all
the sacrifices he made in his younger
days he said he found it paid in the
long run to be faithful to task. Prof.
Ramer stands high among the educat-
ors of the state for his thoroughness
in all his work and for his splendid
capabilities. His appointment to the
position is satisfactory in educational
circles.

wheat, is somewhat affected by the
mysterious disease.
Farmers who this season expert
mented with the raising of winter
wheat are generally we'll satisfied with
the results. Some grain that has al
ready been threshed has run from
twenty-five to thirty-five bushels to the
acre. The quality is said to be much
better than the quality of spring wheat
in many localities.
Ii reports from large district are
correct, there will be much loss of
grain by reason of lack of machinery
and hands to gather it quickly. The
weather coming on dry and hot, has
fastened the ripening process so that
fields intended for the sickle next week
are ready to be cut now. Few harvest
hands come west of Huron, and this
emergency is hard to meet
That the crop is mammoth is shown
by the fact that it required seventy
pounds of Irvine to bind Henry SCOTS

His oats stood one and on-half feet

moth than the crop now southwest of
his town, which is little better than
the grain along the line west of Huron
wherever you go.
The harvest of Meade county's boun-
tiful crop is on. Barley cutting has
been in progress, and the dropping of
wheat will begin this week. Some
farmers are estimating their wheat at
thirty-five bushels per acre. 1t is re-
ported that a great amount of smut
exists in various localities of the coun-
ty.
The Bookings college people did
much good last winter in holding meet
ings and advising treatment of wheat
for smut. Now the farmers want corn
treated for worms. Sweet corn is also
ruined by the pests, while early field
corn is being attacked. The worms
eat unseen at the tender kernels under
the husks until the grain becomes
hard.

MlTcHELL's NEW PALACE.
Auditorium Will Seat 1000 Banda
Rosa Again.

Mltchell's corn palace for 1905 will

ing will be 100 by 142 feet, and the
seating capacity will be 1000, making
it the largest auditorium hall in the
state.
The building is set on a good stone
foundation to insure its solidity and
permanency, and is but one block
further north than the former one.
The stage will be 80 feet deep and SO
feet wide, and will occupy the north
end of the building. An immense bal.
cony, which will be seated, goes
around the interior. All booths and
county exhibits will be on the ground
floor. On the large corner towers
there will be nromenades, likewise on
the depressions on the side of the
building. The center tower and top
OF the Flagstaff will be 80 feet high.
and it will be richly decorated.

WHEAT YIELD SURE TO RUN HIGH.
Estimates High Twenty three Bushels Are Made-A New
Enemy to Wheat Makes Its Appearance

Small grain, particularly wheat, has
oeen greatly benefited by the recent
favorable weather. The temperature
las ranged from so to 90 with light
breeze most of the time, and nights
aot cool enough to retard the ripen-
ng OF grain. Much of the oats and
barley is in shock, as is also a large
acreage of rye and spelts Some wheat
mostly on high ground, has been cut
Wheat harvest will be in progress
generally over this part of the state
N the present week. In Beadle coun-
ty the crop is from eight to twelve
days backward, but the grain generally
S in good condition, and with ten days
favorable weather the crop will be
about all harvested. There is a lack
of "pre-threshing estimates" although
some farmers put the yield for wheat
IN this county at from fourteen to
eighteen bushels an acre, while others
say twenty to twenty-three bushels is
the right figure. Certainly the indi-
cations are that the crop is very heavy
and the quality better in grade than
Tor several years.
Smut is apparent in a majority of
fields, particularly on low lands, but is
not as serious factor as was at first
reported. Corn is making splendid
progress, and bids fair to give liberal
yield, while the hay crop is one of the
oest and heaviest ever harvested.

zled to account for the condition of

The situation does not look so good

number of new sub-foci. They seem
to be popping up all over town, and
the discouraging feature of yesterdays
report is that only nineteen of the siN-

Quite number of the cases appear to

Italians have left this group in the last
week, but there is no trace of them,
nor will there be unless infection

Hot Springs, too, will notice few
