From different parts of the state
comes reports of housebreaking and
small hold ups. This the is season of
the when the professional sneak thief
pays us a visit under the guise of the
welcome harvest hand. On his first
appearance it is impossible to tell the
crook" from the seeker for work in
the harvest fields, hence the author
tiles must fail to a certain extent in

men as fast as possible and make it
too warm for them TO remain. Mean

keep an eye open for such individuals
and thus help the authorities. Don't
feed buns at your back door, and
don't leave anything of value laying
around loose.
A. H. Dawson, of Des Moines,
Iowa, arrived in this city Saturday
and remained until Monday evening
Mr.. Dawson went out to look at his
farms near Manchester and found
everything looking so nice that he
couldn't resist the temptation to buy
another quarter. But Mr.. d. is not
like most spectators in land, who
simply hold the title and wait for a
raise in price. He goes to work at
improvements the first thing and

announced his candidacy for county
treasurer. Mr.. Knudson is an old
resident of Hartland township and is
held in high esteem by his neighbors

ity and honor in public positions.

the 30th of June, according to the
forthcoming report of Secretary of
State Wipf, l06 private banks
chartered in Sou'h Dakota, represent
