it is gathered some interesting items
There were held 13l days regular
Institutes in the state during the fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1907, with
280 regular sessions and total at
tendance of little over $4,000 Civ
ing the total number present at each
session and adding all together as is
the rule of the National Institute
association. The attendance the past
year was little more than two and
one half times as large as the year
previous. In addition to the regular
institute work, Prof. P. &. Holden
held three large corn meetings in
the state. the expenses of his services
being paid by the counties in which
the meetings were held.
A series Of Institutes will be held
in the Black Hills commencing on
September 18th. In November a
series of meetings will be held in the
newly settled portion west of the
Missouri river, and the regular insti-
tute work will begin the first week
in December. Superintendent Cham
berlain is now at work trying to cre-
ate interest in an exhibition of corn
from this state at the National Corn
exposition to be held in Chicago Oc-
tober SIG. He is anxious to hear
from all parties who will furnish
some corn for this exposition, and
will be pleased to answer any in
quiries concerning premiums. $685.
has been set apart for premiums for
South Dakota alone, besides $4,000
open to competition from all of the
states.

1000 OPERATORS
OUT ON STRIKE
Many Cities Affected by Tele-
graphers Walk Out

Chicago, August Encouraged
by their success in hampering the
telegraph facilities of both the COM
mercial companies in Chicago, the
striking operators are now planning
to carry the warfare to all parts of
the United States and Canada. In
structions were yesterday telegraph
ed by National Secretary Russell to
the men in New York and other cit
les where they are still at work to
save their money and await orders.
Another telegram was sent to
President Small of the telegraphers'
union, who is in San Francisco, urg-
ing him to take the first train to
Chicago to look after the situation,
as it is the announced intention of
the men to engineer the fight from
Chicago.
The telegraph companies are pre-
pairing to meet the issue, and declare
they will fight to a finish. They de-
clare they have been temporizing
with the unions for months, and they
will hold no further negotiations
with the representatives of the men
on strike.
Cots have been installed in the
buildings of both companies in Chi
cago for the accommodation of the
strike breakers, and other prepara-
tions for bitter struggle are being
perfected.
Approximately there are 1000 tel
egraph operators now on strike who
were employed by both companies
in 80 cities throught the country,
and the list is being added to every
few minutes.

Farmers Urged to Bring in Dis
plays as Soon as They are
Prepared

At meeting of the business men
Thursday evening it was decided to
change the dates of the county fair
to Wednesday and Thursday. Sept.
AS, on account of the Old Settlers
Picnic at Pleasant Valley Sept. 6.
The following committees have been
appointed; Base ball, C. M. Dwver,
N. Johnson, F. j. Weber. Street

of alfalfa last week for the fair that
was fully thirty inches high and of
just thirty-two days growth, it hav-
ing been planted July A and harvest

fully as good, was harvested on the
same ground just before this was
planted.

State University

The new catalogue of the State
University has just been received,
1t is book of over two hundred
pages, well printed on good paper,
and is perhaps the best specimen of
this kind of work yet issued from the
institution.
The university presents an attrac-
tive showing in this document, the
size of the faculty being one of the
things that first attracts attention.
Nearly fifty people constitute the
teaching force for next year, fact
that in itself ought to enable the
school to take leading rank in the
state.

Logical Prophecy

Land will soon go to 500 an acre
in this country. Why? Read this:
"Wm. Marshall brought in some
stalks of corn from his White river
farm that measured nine feet six
and had three well formed ears on
every stock. He also brought a bun
die Of millet that was planted just
AZ days ago and measured four feet
three inches to the root. He has
over forty acres of the corn and
twenty-five of the millet: 1t would
seem that the producing powers of
LYMAN county soil are without limit
from the crops that are being raised
in all parts of the county" ."-Oacoma
Argus.
Then read this:
James Philip returned last Sat-
urday from Kansas City and other
points south and east. Scotty has
always been one 'of the most con-
servative men in this country and
his word has weight with all who
know him. He says, since looking
over whole lot of country, that he
has seen nowhere corn to equal that
growing in Stanley county and he
feels certain that Stanley county
farm land will be selling for $75 per
acre, all over the county, inside of
fifteen years. He considers this the
best wheat growing country in the
world. > Stock Growers News.
Only a short time ago, since the
last federal census, Scotty Philip,
who for years before had range cat
tie on the country where Mr. Marsh
all is now farming, laughed at the
advance guard of homesteaders.
Now he realizes the greatness of the
country and places land values at
SIS. We tell you it will go to Sl00
an acre long before many who are
reading this become old men and
women. Just watch the Gas Belt"
get million people and see Pierre
the center of population of a state
with four million people. and then
$75 an acre farms will be the poor
spots. Pierre Capitol-Journal.

ROADS ORDER
STEEL COACHES
All Steel Passenger Coaches De-
clared to be Most Practical

Chicago, Aug. 12.-After testing
one car for a few months executive
officers of the Union and Southern
Pacific in Chicago have ordered the
immediate construction of twenty
all steel passenger coaches. The
new cars will be constructed in the
Omaha shops of the company and so
far as possible there will not be an
inch of infammable material in their
makeup.
For sometime railroad officers
throughout the United States have
been investigating steel construction
for coaches in its New York subur-
ban system. Recently the Pullman
company built an all-steel sleeper.
The latter corporation has enlarged
its plant to allow the building of all
steel cars of every description.
1t is claimed and experiments back
the theory, that the all-steel car is
100 per cent less liable to wreck than
the wooden car and at least so per
cent safer than the steel under frame
coach. In addition to this feature
the all steel coach is more economical
in that it requires fewer repairs.
1t is likely that other roads will
soon begin the construction of all
steel passenger coaches. The steel
flat car is now being used extensive
ly by the railroads and Hartman
lines west will go step. further and
build about fifty all-steel box cars.

MISFORTUNE MAY
COME TO ANY ONE
No Man has a Cinch Against
it-Be Charitable

Howard Spirit of Dakota: Every
time the closet Of your neighbor is
opened do you strain your eyes to
peek, and then afterwards do you
strain your tongue talking about it?
Did you ever stop to think that some
day a tragedy may take up its abode
in your home? Can't you get it into
your head that some day the
tongue of slander may cut you like a
sharp sword and the whispers of
your neighbors be as vinegar to your
wounds. Misfortune and disgrace
may have overtaken your neighbor,
but is does not become you to get
on the house tops and shout it out to
the world. You will not be called
upon to pay for, nor to answer for
any of the sins of your neighbor.
You have all you can tend to to pay
for your own indiscretions. Some
day one near and dear to you may
fall-the prison walls may open to a
son or the scarlet letter of eternity
may blight daughter. When a
home is in mourning over a tragedy
the best thing you can do is to keep
your mouth shut unless you can say
something that will come as rift in
the clouds. Then again you may be
no better than your neighbor. The
only difference is that your neighbor
was caught and you, up to date,
have kept the sunlight away. Be
charitable, my friend, for you know
not the day nor the hour when the
blight will appear in your sacred
circle.

President But | am not candid

Governor Of course we know

the national convention in your alb
sence should nominate you despite
your expressed wish?
President No man, Governor De-
neen is so big that he can defy his
party.
1t is printed that Cannon, seeing
the trend of affairs political, will not
be candidate seriously and that
Illinois will send a delegation in

HOT WAVE
OVER COUNTRY
Intense Heat Friday and Sat-
urday

The hot wave of last week reached
its heighth locally on Friday night
when the record showed 9S degrees.
Friday night was the hottest night
experienced in Miller for several
years.

gave an occasional touch of the hot
winds of several years ago when the
prairies were annually burned over.
Saturday brought little shower,
which failed to change the atmos-
phere, and more sweltering heat was
experienced. However, relief came
towards evening, as the wind chang
ed around into the northwest and
brought welcome GOODNESS.
Elsewhere
Pierre, Aug. 10-Yesterday was
the temperature record for the year
at 103.
Aberdeen Everyone sweltered
Friday. The heat was more pro-
nounced than it had been on any
other day this summer. and every
one seemed to be nearer tagged out.
Weather Observer Gallett announces
that the government thermo-
meteor showed the high point for the
day to be 99i degrees, but there
were plenty of thermometers which
were located in sunny places that
showed several notches better than
the l3O mark.
