COLOR RIGHT; GROWTH GREAT.
Fields in Southeastern South Dakota
Look PROMISING,

/. Sioux Falls, S. D.. July lit is the
opinion of those who have carefully in
spected the fields that with favorable
weather this locality will have one of
the best crops in it's history. Crops
Oh some of the lowlands have been
damaged by being flooded by the ex
cessive rains. but in general the con
dition of small grain and corn is good.
Corn is making rapid growth. and
with late frosts in the fall will be a
good crop. Fears of black rust. which
last year SO seriously injured the wheat

entertained. Grain in general in this

FOR
ROCKEFELLER.
Cleveland Men Show Esteem fol-
the Standard Oil Chief Call
Him Worlds Greatest Man.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 27.-Several
hundred representative men of Cleve-
land called upon John d. Rockefeller
at his home in Forest Hill last evening
and through Andrew Squire, a promi-
nent attorney, and L. L. Holden, pro-
prietor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
expressed to Mr.. Rockefeller their es-
teen for him as u citizen and as q
great business man.
The gathering included merchants,
lawyers, clergymen, educators and men
in humber walks of life. Forming at
the lodge, the entrance to the estate,
the assemblage walked up the steep
hill to the old fashioned summer home
overlooking the city and country.
Through Mr.. Squire every person was
presented to and shook hands with Mr..
Rockefeller.
There were personal statements of
good will from those who greeted Mr..
Rockefeller, who in response thanked
each person for their kindly express
sions and esteem. Mrs. Rockefeller
was present. After all the guests had
been presented to Mr.. Rockefeller an
adjournment was taken to the veran-
da, and in the presence of the entire
assemblage, which had gathered or the
lawn Immediately below, Mr.. Squire
made an address to Mr.. Rockefeller,
and regard for the man who, he said,
had been a resident of the city for fifty
years.
Mr.. Squire said that Cleveland and
Ohio had produced many great men IN
their particular lines, but in the knowl-
edge of the laws of trade, in grasping
and in applying them, in creating and
building up of industries that are far
reaching, it is doubtful If the world
has ever produced a greater man than
Mr.. Rockefeller.
Mr.. Rockefeller made a brief address
in response to the greetings which had
been spoken. His remarks were al
most entirely reminiscent of his resi-
dence in Cleveland and of the growth
of the city. He said, speaking especial
ly to the younger men present, that
there Is something more to life than
mere money getting.
Turn your thoughts upon the higher
things of life said Mr.. Rockefeller
BE of service to humanity. Turn your
thoughts into channels of usefulness
look forward to a determination that
something useful shall come out OF
your success. Let your question be-;
What shall be the fruitage of my ca
reer? Shall it be the endowment OF
hospitals, churches. schools II asy-
lums?' Do everything you Il Tor the
betterment of your fellow man, IL III
doing this you will enjoy life the bet

THE SUIT CASE MURDER.
Boston Police Believe They Will Soon
Have Murderer.

Boston Police Believe They VIII Soon
Have Murderer.
BOSTON, Sept. 27.-The police believe
that they are near the solution of the
green suit case mystery. They have
practically established the identity of
the owner of the suit case found at
Winthrop containing the remains of a
young woman.
They have learned, they declare, that
a second suit case, containing other
parts of the body, was thrown over
board near the spot where the first
suit case was found.
Divers are engaged in searching the
bottom of the bay for this suit case.
A new clew has come to light in q
bundle containing underclothing of a
fine quality which was picked up on
the shore where it was washed by the
tide. The paper in which the clothing
was wrapped has been traced to a
store in the aristocratlc Back Bay dis
trlct.
The package bore on the outside the
tag of a local express company, on
which was printed in typewriting the
name Of r. o. Burnham, 2 Dalton
street. r. o. Burnham was found to
be Rebecca o. Burnham, who conducts
q fancy goods store.
The identity of the suit case appears
to be pretty well established, accord
ing to the police, who decline to give
names.
The police have decided that Mrs.
Rosa, Schapiro, a blond, formerly of
Baltimore, who disappeared several
weeks ago, is not the dead woman
found in the suit case here.

Military SurEcons' Congress Opened
with War OF Words.
DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 27.-An at.
tack by DIR. Charles #. Stokes, surgeon
in the United States navy, upon state
ments made by Major Louis l.. Seaman
of New York in utterances contrasting
the results obtained during the Russo
Japanese war by the Japanese medical
officers with the medical history of the
Spanish-American war and Philippine
insurrection was the feature of the
fourteenth convention of the Associa-
ton Of Military Surgeons of the United
States.
DR.. Stokes sharply challenged the
accuracy of a number of Major Sea
mans statements and statistics. DR.
Stokes quoted DR.. Seaman as stating
that for a campaign lasting SIX weeks
during the Spanish war the proper
tional battle casualties to those OF
disease were l to ii.
He then quoted the report of the sec
rotary of war for 1893 as showing that
this proportion was / to IL. mfr.
Seaman makes the proportion of battle
casualties in the civil war 1 to s." con.
tinued DR.. Stokes, "while the proper
ton as shown by the medical and
surgical history of the rebellion was
l to 2" The speaker then quoted an
alleged statement by DR.. Seaman that
in General Oku's army only forty out
of 5000 men sent home had died and
said: "He must have been in error in
this. Forty cases of sudden death at
the front occurred, but all the serious
cases were transferred at once to the
base hospitals in the rear"
