ROBINSON MAKES His RETURNS
ON WHEAT.

Pierre, s. d.. Oct. 6.--Doane Robin
son has make his preliminary estimate
OF the wheat yield Of the state for this
year based on reports received from
every county, which were made to cover
as much Of the different counties as
possible, and shows total yield for the
year of 89,3S4.275 bushels, of which
1,4l7, lS5 bushels were durum wheat.
The total acreage is given at ACTS, ,Sl7
acres Of brad wheat and 6S, 500 acres of
durum. This estimate is subject to re-
vision on the december 1st report,
which will be based upon the returns
from TIE threshers. Mr. Robinson has
contended all along that the wheat yield
for the state this year would not exceed
40 OOO, 900 bushels, and the footings Of
his reports gives him considerable salts
faction on that estimate. The report
gives Brown county the largest acreage
Of wheat Of any Of the counties Of the
state with 226, 1865 acres in bread wheat
and 7,749 acres in durum. While Spink
is below Brown in acreage it leads in
bushels of wheat secured, showing a
better yield. The counties west of the
river do not make any reports on durum
wheat. The decrease in acreage below
that of last year is shown TO be l29, ,S8l
acres.

Lid" at Pierre Permanent.

At the time of the city campaign al
Pierre last spring the question of open
gambling was an issue and the ticket

called out radical protest from many
citizens and the council by resolution
announced that ii would back the may.

1t was recently announced that HON r
Davenport, the cartoonist, has returned
from abroad with the largest and finest
collection of Arabian horses ever shipped
to America. There are twenty seven
splendid steeds in the above collection
and they represent little side issue TO
Davenport's trip to Turkey and Arabia
where he went TO write and illustrate a
series OF articles for the Woman's Home
Companion. Davenport's great admira-
tion for horses is not generally known,
nor the fact that he owns regular zoo
of wild fowl aud animals near Morris
Plains, New Jersey. The cartoonist's
frst-hand impressions Of the Sultan and
his people should make interesting read

Optimism Sway Reaainlna.

The North American Review notes
that this country Is really becoming
optimistic. A year ago the country
seemed to be veritable den of iniqui-
ty. AS exposure succeeded exposure,
scandal had followed scandal so rapid
ly that one was left gasping for
breath. Yellow journals could not be
printed in sufficient numbers to salts
fly the avidity of the masses. A muck
rake had become the sole requisite
of success in the making of periodi-
Gals. Ignorance We'd with irresponsi-
bility in desperate reaching for noto-
riety, in emulation of constituencies
gambler who had blazed lurid way.
Shame was written upon honest coun-
tenances; depression rested upon the
American spirit; the ver.- atmosphere
was surcharged with portent. There
came no sudden change, but with al
most mechanical certainty the clouds
lifted one by one, until at last it
seemed safe to declare that sanity has
resumed it's wonted sway. The period
has been one of excessive trial but of
inestimable service Now, with a sigh
of relief, the intelligent, patriotic citi-
zen begins to feel satisfied that the
greatest evils in our business and po-
litical being have been revealed, and
he can join with his fellows in de-
manding correction, not in haste or
passion, but soberly, nationally, Insist
emily. Already it is evident that mere
negative virtue will no longer fill the
requirement of political preferment;
exceptional and proven high-minded-
ness is eXacted, as the autumn elec-
tions will surely demonstrate. So, too,
in business is apparent deeper sense
of personal responsibility and keener
appreciation of the value Oh a fair
name To be honest rather than
smart has become good form. Hence
the gradual but obvious yielding of
pessimism to a feeling almost buoy
ant Presently, having taken our Sc
we're lessons permanently to heart and
sternly resolved that never again shall
arise the need of such another, we
way, by the grace of God, be permit
ted again to see the sun in all its pris-
tine glory.

And in BunCheS a Boats
Crew Were Drowned.
GRUESOME STORY
Of Death and Ruin Is Told by a Man
Whose Boat was Destroyed by
The Recent Hurricane.

Key West, Fla.-Survivors from
one of the house boats of the
Florida East Coast railway extension
along the keys tell narrowing tale of
death and destruction caused by the
storm of Thursday.
w. p. Dusenbery, civil engineer in
charge of the work on Long Key, who
miraculously escaped death, arrived
here on the Russian steamer Jennie,
among other survivors rescued. He
says house boat No. 4, on which were
$50 men, was struck by the storm at 5
O'Clock Thursday morning and was
driven out into the gulf through
Hawks channel. At 6 O'Clock the
house boat began to break up and as
the great waves hit her, men singly
and in punches of two and three were
washed into the sea and drowned.
Some went below for protection, but
when the top of the boat was carried
away the waves rushed in and the
boat soon went to pieces, 80 or 40 of
the men being crushed to death in the
collapse, the others grabbing timbers
to save them from drowning Engi-
neer Dusenbery was in the hold, but
succeeded in getting on a log and
fioated until Friday night.
On one piece of timber 16 men were
clinging and nine were hanging to an
other. The sides of the house boat
were crowded with men, 1t turned
over three times, each time reducing
the number The Russian steamer
Jennie sighted the wreckage and sue
ceeded in rescuing the 49 men who
were brought here.
There was another house boat with
$50 men on board at Long Key, which
Mr.. Dusenbery thinks was also swept
to sea
