Success.

Present.

Miller, July 29.-The Tooth birth
day party of Mrs. Hubbel was quite
largely attended and the lady received
many presents and kindly wishes.
Mayor Thomson Whose grandmother
lived to be 101) sent her a big bouquet
and a congratulalory letter. owing TO
threatening weather Mrs. Reeves. aged
Sc, Mrs. Sweetland, So, and Mrs. Nc
Carthy, SO, did not attend the party
but they hope to next year.
1t was not from weakness that Da-
vid Walton, aged 81. did not attend, but
because his ~fifty-aCTe fielG OF wheat,
that looks like twenty-five bushels to
the acre, needed his attention. Ae put
in his crop with the help of a boy, and
will do a good share of the harvesting
himself. His left hand is off at the
wrist. Recently his driving horse re-
fused to be caught IN the pasture, but
the old MAJ grabbed the animal by the
tai and held him until the startled
beast was glad to be battered. In his
younger days, when he had both hands,
on Il wager he lifted a barrel OF cider
and drank from the bung. He does not
use intoxicating beverages anG never
used tobacco. lie, too, bids fair to live
to more thar the 100 mark.

SOME RELIABLE REPORTS.
South Dakota Fields Have Not Suf-
fered from Rust.

Sioux Fails, S. D., July 29.-E. ].
ManniX, editor of the C0UnlerClal
News, of this city, several days ago
sent to bankers, merchants and other
reliable business men at about $50 diff
ferent points in South Dakota a re-
quest that they furnish him with a
brief report as to the condition of crop
in their localities, with special bearing
on whether or not black rust a APP
peared in the wheat fields.
Nearly all of the men to whom the
request was sent have now made re-
ports, and it is a somewhat remarkable
fact that in every instance the writer's
declare that there is not the slightest
indication of rust. AS most OF the re-
ports We're made after a personal in
spection of wheat fields in the vicinity
of where the writer's reside, it indi-
Gates that there is not the slightest
danger of Il rust visitation to the state
this year
The reports with scarcely an excep-
ton speak of the excellent condition
of all kinds of crops in the localities
from which the reports come. In the
Vicinity of Britton crops in general
are stated to b. better than during
any season since the summer Of 1881,
which was famous for its big crops
and which started the big immigration
to what is now the state of South Da-
kota.
Every part of the agricultural por-
ton of the state east Of the Missouri
river is covered by. these reports. In
the vicinity of Eureka it is stated that
wheat will yield all the way from
twenty-five to forty bushels to the
acre; oats from eighty to 100 bushels
per acre, and other crops in proper
ton. Oats in the vicinity of Baltic
will yield from forty to fifty bushels
per acre; wheat from thirteen to twen-
ty; la from twelve to eighteen. and
corn from forty to fifty.
Reports of a similar encouraging ma
ture are made from practically every
part of the state. which makes ii rea-
sonably certain that South Dakota, will
this season have one of the greatest
crops in it's history.

LAWS ARE A al OF

New York, Aug. cardinal Clip
bons, who is spending his vacation at
Southampton, l.. l., has issued a state
ment concerning commercial corruption
which is likely to attract much atten-
ton, but il is interesting to know he
places the divorce evil on a lower
ground.
You th:tlk the evil of divorce, then,
is a greater evil than the evil of cor
pcrate corruption" he was asked.
II do, because corporate corruption,

itself by its own wrong
Would a uniform divorce law
throughout the country help mat
ters?"
Enthusiastically. South Dakota, in
its divorce laws, is now a blot upon the
union. If all the states could have
stringent divorce laws, undoubtedly the
evil would be minimized. OF course, 1
do not believe in divorce at all, and I
do not believe in divorce laws. But /
believe in anything that will lessen a
great evil. The church sanctions sep
aration from bed and board. but it does
not sanction divorce as it is generally

Deadwood, S. D., Aug. 1.-The coun-
ty commissioners of Lawrence county
have just completed the work of re-
districting the county. and there are
now five commissions districts in
Lawrence county instead of three as

Until this time the three districts have

time a movement on foot to have the
county divided into five districts, as
this would give a fairer representation
to the large number of people living

ago a petition was presented to the
county board, signed by over 1000 PEG.

requires the board to make this change

GOOD NEWS RECEIVED.
"Greatest Harvest of Grains in twenty
Five Years."

Miller, S. D., July 29.-Central South
Dakota has begun upo the greatest
harvest of grains ever recorded IN her
t~wenty-four years OF history. The ma
chimes are humming in the barley fields,
which is a fine large crop. In a day
or two the immense oats crop will be
cut into. Then viii follow rapidly the
speltz, macaroni, and blue stem wheat.
All these grains stand four to FIVE feet
high, and their yari-colored tints are
beautiful to behold.
The crop of today in Hand county is
more diversified than ever before. Upon
the eve of harvest all crops Of grain
and vegetables seem well nigh perfect,
with the exception of some slight dam
age to the blue stem wheat by rust and
smut. Farmers estimate this damage
at 10 to IS per cent. only, because the
wheat was so nearly filled before rust
appeared. Allowing a damage of Is
per cent, the crop Of Hand county
wheat will yet be the largest and best
ever raised.
Corn has made a wonderful growth IN
the past two weeks. and has arrived at
about the usual stage at this time Of
wear.

TO PROTECT RIVER BANK,

Elk Point, S. D., July 31.-Govern-
ment engineers are here making prep
aratiOn to begin the work on the re-
vetment along the Missouri and Sioux
rivers for the protection of the banks.
The appropriation made for the work
at this place was S15, 600, and it is be-
lleVed this amount will be far from
enough to finish the work properly.
Some repair work will AVE to be made
on the old riprap to prevent n fur
ther damage from the river. Some
fifteen of these spur bikes will be built
out into the i've about $50 feet and
ESQ to 800 feet apart. The first thing
to be lone is to sink a willow mat up
on the river bed, to prevent the water
undermining the bikes. The material
will largely be shipped to Sioux City
and RATED up the liver from there.
1t is expected that the work will be
well under way by the middle of Au-
gust. unless the stage of water in the
river interferes. The cutting due to
the late phenomenal rise uncovered a
log, inbedded fourteen feet below the
surface near the Elk Point bank and
which is believed by good judges to
be $50 years old.
