limited number of men inside of a
certain line is also to be enforced.

hoped. citizens wishing to vote will
be able to do so without going
through a crowd of men, who have al
ways blocked the entrances.
Engineer. S. j. Mason was at work
Saturday and today measuring the
one hundred-foot lines. which will be
plainly marked so that the law can
be enforced.
I'VE intend, If possible" said Mr..
Stricked today, ito see that no money
is used. We knew at the start that
we were beaten II money came into
effect, and would have preferred Ia
give the republicans a certificate of
election, rather than see votes pur-
chased, and we will do all that is pos
sible to obtain a fair election and stop
bribery"
The detectives will be in citizens
clothes and are under orders to ar
rest any one caught buying or selling
votes.

Anxiety I'm This County.
The New York Tribune, the repub-
llcan authority, says:
"The campaign in Middlesex has
been one of the most interesting of
the year. While ex-senator Theodore
Strong, the machine leader, won q
noteworthy victory over the inde
pendent Colby faction at the primar-
les in September, he could not follow
the advantage up. Many republicans
refuse to come back TO machine sup
port. They prefer to remain away
from the polls or support the demo-
Gratis. The objection TO Boss"
Strong as boss (not personally is the
principal reason they give. The lead

vately it is conceded that there Is
enough doubt to cause genuine anx

here will be in charge of former
Chief Callahan, of Harrison.

JOKE OR SUICIDE?
Sioux Falls Authorities Puzzled Over
Finding Note in Floating Bottle.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Aug. 30.-The on
tents of a note which was inclosed in
a bottle and found in the Sioux river
near Baltic, twelve miles north of
Sioux Falls, leave the authorities i'm
doubt as to whether the epistle is the
work of a practical joker, or whether
1t indicates a suicide. The note reads
verbatim as follows:
This is judgment day for me. By
the time this is found / win have dis
covered the open door (maybe) though
l may not pass through it. l will know

The note was written with a pencil
in a clear, firm hand. The paper upon
which it was written evidently was
torn from a common writing Dad.
The fact that the missive bears date
of July Is last is taken by some to in
dicate that 81 practical joker has been
at work, as they maintain that the
BODY would AVE been found before

1906 CROP THE BEST.
Believed that South Dakota This Yea,
Passed All Previous Records.

Huron, 5. D., Aug. 30.-W. Il. Smith,
travelling auditor for the VanDusen
Elevator company, and one Of the
closest observers of crop conditions.
1as issued the following statement re-
garding conditions n the probable
yield of the state for the current year:
Without any doubt whatever South
Dakota has just harvested the largest
and best crop of small grain ever
:aised in the state. The weather all
season could hardly have beer i'm
proved upon, and consequently all
Kinds of grain did their best in max
Ing the 1906 yield the largest ever.
While the rainy season we had a short
lime ago hurt the quality Of the grain
a very little bit, the quantity of the
crop more than makes up for this.
Some t%hreshing has already been
done, n from the reports of the
threshing gangs we are making a fair
estimate of the yield all over the state
and consider the same fair and con-
Iervative.
This year 2,240, 900 acres were sown
20 bread wheats, and these acres YIELD
ed on an average of 13 bushels an acre,
making a total of 29,1 100, 900 bushels
harvested this year; 1000, 900 acres
we're Sown to maCaroni, with an aV-
erage of Il bushels, making a total of
FL, 000, 900 bushels. This makes q to-
al wheat yield of 50,12O, 900 bushels, an
Increase of 10, 900, 900 bushels over last
gears harvest and an increase of more
than 5000, 600 bushels over any pre-
ViouS crop in the history of the state.
"Of other grains, we have raised this
year 500, 900 acres of oats, at an aver
age yield of 40 bushels and a total yield
Of 80, 000, 900 bushels, an increase in oats
Of 6 5000, 900 bushels over last year; 370,-
900 acres of barley, with an average
Yield of 80 bushels and a total yield OF
II, 100, 900 bushels, an increase of 2, 000,-
800 bushels over last year; $50, 600 acres
Of flax, with an average yield Of 49,
bushels and a total yield of 4,025, 600
bushels, an increase of 1000, 900 bush
els over last year.
Some 1850, 900 acres have been
planted to corn, and taken on the av-
erage it looks as well today as the corn
lid at the same time last year. The
7ield last year vas over 81, 000, 600 BUSH
els, and with the same yield this e
we will harvest more han So, 000, 900
bushels of corn. 1t will take about
three weeks Of good weather and no
vested. Good roasting ears can be
found in the corn fields already.
1.-THE rust scare, as usual, was abroad
among us, but did no damage beyond
the scare, although in most wheat fields
rust was found. Black rust, the only
variety that is injurious, is a later and
further development of red rust. This
last named variety we have with us
every year to a greater or less extent.
If 1t becomes injurious ii u have
very favorable climatic conditions to
foster it into a harmful condition TO the
growing grain"

the hands of agents, although he has
visited his tracts at intervals during
the last five years. The farms are
never improved. This is left to the ten

Singular Austrian Law.
From the Manchester Guardian

From the Manchester Guardian.
A few days 6 the murderer Of Mr..
Reid, the Paisley man who mysterious
~ disappeared from Heidelberg last
July, having been arrested in Austria,
was tried at Feldrich and was convict
ed and sentenced TO twenty years inn
prisonment.
The case illustrates a singularity Of
the Austrian criminal law. Generally
speaking. a premeditated murder is
punished by death in Austria, but in
cases where between the time of the
murder and the arrest the prisoner has
been punished for some other crime a
sentence of capital punishment cannot
be passed upon him.
IN this case the murderer had served
a weeks Imprisonment for petty theft
about January of this year, and to this
circumstance alone he is indebted for
his life.
