CROPS IN BRULE.
Small Grain Is the Largest Crop in
Country's History.

Kimball, S. D., Aug. 16.-Brule coun-
ty received a heavy rain Saturday af-
ternoon, the first hard rain sine July 3.
This rain practically assures a big crop
of corn. The small grain crop is i'm
mense, for, Notwithstanding the long
dry spell the eight inches of rain in
June SO thoroughly soaked the sub-soil
that the corn has showed no effects of
the heat or drought, but has grown
right along. Roasting ears from many
fields have been plenty for ten days
past. The small grain is ~threshing out
fully up to expectations, which means
that Brule county will this year harvest
the largest crop in it's history. Oats
have taken four pounds of Irvine to the
acre. Fields of SO to IS bushels to the
acre are common, while some farmers
are ready to bet on heavier yields than
that. Rye and barley is equally as
good. So far as the reports from the
threshers have come in wheat is run
ming from Ii to 20 bushels to the acre.
Judge Writings decision in the cattle
dipping case brought in Beadle county
gives general satisfaction to stockmen
here. Brule county has put in four
dipping tanks at public expense at a
cost of $500. About $4,000 head of cat
tie have been dipped twice.

NOW GROWN MEEK.
Black Hills, Once So Wicked, Has
a Good Reputation.

Deadwood, S. D., Aug. 10.-The Black
Hills, long known as the most wicked
country in the world, will soon be as
harmless as a yearling calf. The good
example set by DeadWood and Lead in
'the closing up of gambling n the m
forcement of the saloon regulations re-
garding screens, curtains, etc, is being
followed throughout the Hills. Not only
has Sturgis played to the cards already
on the table, but it is reported on the
basis Of authority that Rapid City,t
Belle Fourche and Hot Springs Will
soon be without a faro table or a rou-r
lette wheel. This will work the great
est revolution in Belle Fourche, as
since the ordinances in the northern
Hills this town, lively by reason Of the
great irrigation work, has been a goal
for many of the gamblers and sporting
men. 1t has partazen recently more
Of the character of the early Hills
towns than has any other settlement IN
this section. 1t has run wide open
all night and although orderly in the
main has been somewhat woolly. Butte
county, however, does not intend to
be oUtdone by Lawrence or Meade, and
so Will fall IN line. The gamblers Will
have to look further than the cattle
country for a location Mt 2or their
genius.
Hot Springs has had r different
character from Belle .Fourche IN It's
Vices. Willis the games have been
open there. 1t has had more the char
acter of a Monte Carlo than of a Wig
orous gambling house in a mining
country. More tourists affect the at
mosphere in Hot Springs. not only IN
regard to hotel rates, but also In re-
gard to arnusements. Rapid City will
probably be the least affected of any
town in the Hills by this new ruling,
but will nevertheless fall into line.
These regulations will go into effect
very Don and there is no prospect Of
a %reopening of such an1usements in the
northern Hills.

Farmer at Valley Springs Has Sue
cess with the Plant.

Valley Springs, s. D.. Aug. 16.-J. J..
Conover, of this place, is trying to
prove that South Dakota is in the to-
bacco growing belt, and the result Of
experiments mac by him his season
in tobacco culture goes far to show that
he may have the correct idea about the
possibilities of South Dakota. He has
about 600 hills of tobacco, and the
plants tand from three to four feet
high. Mr.. Conoycr was for years en-
gagged in tobacco raising in New York
state. He states that the tobacco
raised by him in South Dakota is the
best he has ever seen anywhere. He is
going to cure the tobacco raised by him
here and have it manufactured into a
special brand of cigars for himself and
other members of his family.

Winter Wheat Has Done Well in South
Dakota,

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Aug. 10.-Farmers
In different portions Of South Dakota
who this season experimental with the
raising of winter wheat are generally
well satisfied with the results. The
winter wheat yielded well this season,
threshed having run from % 10 az
ushels to the acre. The quality is
said to be much better thar the quail
ity OF spring wheat in many localities.
The farmerp In the vicinity Of Wagner,
CHARLES Mix county, who experimented
with winter wheat this year are SO well
pleased with the outcome that they

FIVE PRISONERS ESCAPE.
Alleged Burglars Saw Window Bars of
Hail at Webster,

Webster, s. D., Aug. 16.-About s o'clock
Sunday evening Frank G. Walters, Fred
Lawrence, Lou Nelson, Frank Marley and
Fred Kerns, prisoners in the county Jail
awaiting trial for the robbing of Chilson
& Haugen's store on the night of July IS,
made their escape by saving the window
bars, and making away in a livery rig
which had been secured by a confederate.
The other two who We're bound over along
with those who escaped remained in their
cells, the evidence against them not being
so strong as against the others. The pris-
oners had agreed to plead guilty before
Judge Mccoy mex week, but this was
probably a pipe dream" given the sheriff
in order to allay vigilance.

is OVER.

Alexandria, S. D., Aug. 16.-Harvest-
ing of small grain is finished and stack
ing is well under way. Shock threshing
in some nstanc has begun, the yield
shown being fully as large as was eX-
pected. Spring wheat shows excellent
quality and will yield IN average of
about fifteen bushels per acre, in a sim
gle instance twenty-three bushels,
weighing siXty-two pounds to the
bushel, having been threshed. But lit
tie winter wheat was raised in the
county and none has been threshed.
Satisfactory results are, however, eX-
pected from this variety OF wheat and
q much larger acreage than has ever
been raised in the county will be soWn
this fail. Rye will be an unusually light
crop, an average yield of no more than.
ten bushels being looked for. Much an
noyance has been experienced this sea-
son from the unusually prolific yolun
teer crop of this grain, many pieces of
grain of other varieties raised on and
where rye was grown last year being
rendered worthless except for feed pur-
poses because of its presence. Barley
Will make4the heaviest crop ever raised
in this locality of that grain, but quail
ity will be poor, much being unmarked
able on account of the presence of
smut. Oats Will WELD from fifty to sew
enty-flve bushels per acre and are of
fair quality. New oats are selling for
nineteen cents at present in the local
market. Corn has made a fairly phe-
nomenal growth during the past two
weeks and is thought to w quite
made good the unfa. ,rable condition
of the crop at the beginning of July,
occasioned by the extremely cool wealth
er of the fore part of the season. A
full average crop is looked for. Some
blowing has: been done and the and is
found to be in splendid condition for
the work.
Owing to an unusual scarcity Of help
to do the work of stacking grain much
more shock threshing will be one this
year than usual.
Weather conditions tor the harvest
ing of small grains have been favorable,
no rain interference occurring and only
q few days being uncomfortably warm
for the work.
