RAINS WE'RE BENEFICIAL.
Conditions in South Dakota Now Are
Excellent.

Huron, S. D., June S.-The weekly
crop bulletin for the South Dakota sta
ton
The temperature during the week
last three days We're quite warm. The
conditions We're favorable for promot-
ing healthy growth of all vegetation,
and generally for field work.. There
were scattered but mostly light show
ers, and fair weather pr~edominated.
The soil was already amply moist, how
ever, from preceding rains. In several
counties there was some local damage
from hail.
Wheat continues in healthy condi-
ton. is stooling we'll, and made very
good progress. Oats, barley, spring
rye n spelt made healthy and very
good growth. While there is still COM
and oats being thin and weedy, it is
less than in last weeks reports, and on
the whole the outlook for small grains
Is very gratifying, though they are a
little less advanced than usual.
Winter y AID winter wheat are
thrifty. Winter rye is beginning to
head. also sorae winter wheat.
Corn planting, except some necessary
~replanting due to poor seed, is practice
ally completed. The earlier planted
corn is generally up, with mostly good
stands indicated, and the late planted
is coming up favorably, but there is
some local complaint of cutworms be-
ing troublesome. Considerable easy
corn is being cultivated.
Grass is making rapid growth, pas
ture is good. the outlook for hay has
improved and live stock is doing very
we'll.
The sowing of flax and millet was
very favorably advanced, and on the
whole the growing portions of these
crops did well.
Potatoes and garden stuff made very
good progress, and potato planting is
near completion.
The outlook for early fruits is fair
ly good. There is some complaint of
the outlook for apples, where grown,
not being generally promising.

Political Rinssters Ruined.

OsSSsS0 Y
Almost all of the old political ring
have been ruined and the tide is now
sweeping down on the interests that
smashed the ring and In some of the
big banking houses as well. >
To avert ruin and prevent the plans
OF the mayor as to public ownership
from going through. terrific pressure il
being brought to bear in committee of
seventy and the mayor through his adj
visers. Even James Kay Gordon. as
tute politician as he is, Is finding 1t inn
possible to control Weaver on iii
question and is facing financial losses
through his w man.
A partial victory was won in the CON-
m1ttee of seventy by the corporations,
which was forced to issue a statement
declaring its purposes. The ring had
hoped to get it to declare against
municipal ownership, but the commit
tee refused to commit itself at all on
the question.
There Is another and great reason for
the Pennsylvania enl1st1ng in the pres
emit fight. 1t is ommon report on the
street that George Gould and his Wa
bash railroad ave q large finger in
h present political pie. The Pennsyl-
vania controlled Durham's city's ring
absolutely, n as long as the machine
was in its power Gould had an insur-
mountable barrier to his project to
reach tide water through Philadelphia
and he an active rival of the Pennsyl-
vania.
Faces Utter Defeat.
Thrice he was beaten by the ring.
John M. Mack, asphalt king, kicked out
by h ring, has for the last two months
and the Wabash attorneys. Mack is
confessedly one OF the strongest factors
behind Weaver and this. political revo-
luton.
With a new organization, Mack and
Gordon controlling the councils, and
Mayor Weaver absolutely outside of
the corporate influence, Gould and his
Wabash would soon be able to find a
terminal in Philadelphia, and the Penn
sylvania would have the same battle on
with its formidable rival that it had in
Pittsburg.
Gould, who is still thirsting for re-
venge, said two weeks ago that he ex-
pected to get to tidewater within a few
months. He laughed when he was
asked how. and would not answer The
recent big game throws much light on
his remark
All the trade bodies in Philadelphia
have put themselves or record as favor
ing the entry of the Wabash into Phila-
delphia as a means of increasing rail-
road competition and afording general
benefit to business men.
Fighting for Existence.
When Ramsey was president of the
Wabash there was considerable CORE
s%pondence between him and the trade
representatives on the subject. At that
time it was stated that the Wabash
would readily enter Philadelphia at
Sixty-third and Market. which marks
the county line, enclrcle the city, and
use the Belt Line railway company's
tracks on Delaware avenue. h lat
ter line was established many years
age to prevent a monopoly along the
river front.
Meanwhile the corporate interests
have engaged the biggest corporation
lawyers In the country to fight for their
existence, and If the efforts now under
way to persuade Mayor Weaver
through his committee of seventy to
let up, the big battle will be on.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Eminent Divine Says Increase in the
Number of Divorces Is an Ex-
cellent Siqn.

New York, June 3.-Speaking on
Mrs. Mary A. Livermore and Modern
Womanhood," Rev. Minot j. Savage, in
the Church of the Messiah Sunday
touched upon divorce and expressed
.his opinion:
II have intimated that one of the dis
tinguishing characters of modern times
Is the growth of divorce. A great many
persons are frightened and think that
is n of the deplorable fruits of the
wider freedom granted to
II believe, on the whole, that a large
number of divorces at the present time
are altogether to be welcomed. They
are almost always in the interest of
oppressed women, giving them another
opportunity for a tree. sweet, whole
some life.
No Cause for Alarm.
There are cases where the divorce
laws are abused, but not nearly so
many as the frightened ministers of a
great many of our. churches seem to
imagine.
Law does not make marriages. The
church does not make marriages. Men
and women, if they are ever married,
marry themselves. All the law can do
is to make a clumsy attempt to protect;
nll the church can do is to recognize
and try to consecrate a fact which al
ready exists. But If there is no mar
riage, then it is Dissertation to keep up
the sham.
IF there are children. that compli-
Gates matters; but a great many times
the woman is released from an intOl-
cradle, outrageous existence and given
an opportunity once more to find some
thing sweet and hopeful in the way of
love and life"
Mrs. Stowe a spirituaIist.
Referring to Mrs. Livermore as "the
greatest speaker of them ALL" Mr.. Saw
age later spoke of her as a believer in
sp~iritualism, and said in connection
with this: Mrs. Stove did likewise, al
though her biographers carefully cover
the fact, and Joseph Jefferson also be-
lieved."
on the subject of knowledge the
speaker said in part: The women who
frankly and freely know are the women
who are most likely to be safe. There
is no prurient hiding of the deepest
facts of human life. And the world is
sweeter, healthier n better for this
great change"
