CROPS IN BANNER TRIM,
Commissioner Bach Says Only Hot
Winds Could Do Harm.

State Land Commissioner Bach has
returned to Pierre from trip along
the line of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis extension through the counties
of Sphinx, Brown, Mcpherson, Faulk,
Potter and Walworth. He reports the
crops along that line to be the best
in every particular, and farther ad-
vanoed than they are in the south
ern part Of the state. Just before
making the trip along that line he was
along the line of the Northwestern
extension in Gregory county, and over
the new line in Codington and Clark
counties. In his estimation the crop
prospects for the state are far in ad-
vance of what they have been in any
past year at the same date. The only
thing which could stop the harvest
of an immense crop in the state this
year would be hot winds within a
few days.

Train 70 Tour Minnesota and other
States.
Plans are nearly completed for the
organization Of the $1,000 club for
Aberdeen, and before they are car
ried to completion 1t is probable the
name of the proposed organization will
be changed to the $4,000 club.
Several offers of financial assistance
have been made, and the prospects for
success look SO bright that plans al
ready are being outlined to start a
special train out to tour Minnesota.
Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. 1t is
proposed that this train shall carry a
band, several good speakers, a moving
picture machine with scenes of Aber-
deem, a ball team and live newspa-
per man who will provide live news
for the press on the route. An abun-
dance of advertising literature will
be carried as we'll as an agricultural
exhibit. 1t Is the intention to start
the special out about the middle Of
September and remain out about six
or eight weeks.
In the meantime the club proposes
to arrange for big carnival in Aber-
deem, and announcements of the event
will be sent broadcast throughout the
country. 1t Is believed that the club
will be launched before the end Of
another week, and that the member
ship will include practically every
man and woman In the city. The
movement is unanimously endorsed.

WAREHOUSE MAN BREAKS LAW.
Again Are Taking More Than Legal
Weiuht of Grain,

weight OF Sraln.
The state board of railroad commits
sioners again is receiving complaints
from points in the state in regard to
warehouse men. when purchasing
grain, taking more pounds per bushel
than is permitted by law. Numerous
complaints Of this character were
made to the board last year, and
number of the cases were carefully in
vestigated, with the result that they
we're found to be based upon good
foundation. In accordance with the
result Of the Investigations, the board
issued warning to the warehouse
men of South Dakota in general, call
ing attention to the law governing the
purchasing of grain, which makes it
misdemeanor for any warehouse
man to take more pounds per bushel
than is specified by law. 1t Is likely
that II the practice is not stopped the
railroad commissioners will take steps
to enforce the law to the letter.

Deadly Banana BUD.

A banana bug Of the kind which
sometimes poisons banana eaters with
a venom more deadly than that of the
rattlesnake was found in bunch Of
bananas in a South Water street COM
mission house the other day. The
bug is about two and a half inches
long, with pair of stiff, overlapping
wings, each about an inch wide. When
it clings to an overripe banana one
cannot tell where the banana skin
ends and bug back begins. on account
of the mottled brown color of these
wings.
Thrown on his back, the bug re-
veals three pairs of legs and one pair
of long feelers.

SEES FIANCE DROWN
Prominent Society Girl Watches Ralph
Theriow Drown While PowerIess to
Give Aid-Was to Have Been Mar
ried in Three Weeks.

Des Moines, July 16.-Standing on
the river bank at Riverside park yes
terday afternoon, Miss Mona Boniface,
we'll known west side society girl,
saw the man whom she was engaged to
marry sink beneath the waters of the
Des Moines river. When her sweet
heart was dragged from the river by
j. T. Carver before her eyes her self
control which she had maintained dur
ing the few trying minutes previous,
gave way and she sank unconscious in
the arms of her friends.
Ralph Therlow, the man whose wife
Miss Boniface was to be within three
weeks, had been spending the day at
the popular picnic grounds with par
ty of friends. Mr.. Therlow is the pro-
prietor of the New England coffee
house, S15 West Locust street.
After luncheon had been served 1t
was found that the bathing suits of the
women in the party had been left at
their home. Mr.. Therlow agreed to go
back to the city for them. When he
returned to the park for some unac-
countable reason instead of getting off
the interurban car at the park station
he rode across the bridge to the oppos-
lite side of the river. Here he disrobed
and placing his clothing. watch and
purse in bundle tied them upon his
head Jumping into the river, he
started to swim across to where his
friends We're waiting for him. He was
not discovered until he had reached the
middle of the river.
Miss Boniface and her friends stood
upon the bank watching Mr.. IherloW
swimming towards them. They cheer
ed him on. Suddenly he was seen to
shake the clothes from his head. His
face turned white. He seemed to
struggle for All instant and then sank:
"oh, God. somebody help him.. =
moanea Miss Boniface. as she hid her
face in her hands. He is drowning.
Won't somebody do something's"
Without an instant's hesitation Fred
Blakeslee, 1910 West Locust street,
rushed for the river. and without re-
moving his clothes attempted to reach
Mr.. Therlow's side before he sank.
The boy, who is only about IL years
OF age, reached Therlow just as he went
down. Gripping him by the back OF
the head he attempted to hold him up.
Mr.. Therlow was too heavy and Blak-
eslee was dragged down.
Picnickers who had crowded to the
bank believed that another drowning
would occur when the youth did not
reappear for several seconds. Row
boats were manned and rowed to the
place. The boy finally came to the
top all out of breath.

BAD MONEY At WATERLOO.
Bankers Fear counterfeitsrs Have

Special to Times Republican
Waterloo. July 16.-Waterleo bankers
are beginning to fear that this city is
either the headquarters of the men
who are making the bad money in cir
culation here, or else sharpers are
coming here from some other city with
their counterfeit products.
The counterfeit coins most in
evidence are all silver, being mainly
dollars, halves and quarters. The
money is declared by experts to be
made of a little silver with an alloy
composed of compound OF aluminium
and lead with a little tim The coin
is a little darker than Uncle Sans
good currency and the figures are a
little larger than those on the regular
silver coins.
In spite Of these minor defects in
the counterfeits the money that is
being circulated is very clever imi-
tation of United States silver money
and is difficult Of detection The dies
with which the faces of the coin are
stamped are almost perfect i'm outline
and but for the size of the figures
would be practically impossible of de-
lection. The color simply has the APP
'pearance Of a much handled coin and
the ring Of the alloy is as perfect as
anything except real silver money
could make. The small amount OF
this compound in each indicates that
the profit to the counterfeiters is not
especially large.
