Cometh Harvesting.

men put the machines together, and
soon they go clicking out of the streets
to the fields Of ripening grain. Poets

old days of cradle and rake or perhaps
the more remote hand sickle. IA Dako-
ia harvest is vastly removed from all
such paraphernalia. Even the whiskey

esteemed as a highly cooling beverage

Normal Rainfall Enough.

While this promises to be one of the
best of crop years in the Missouri val

considered assured SO rar as rainfall

$40 inches from the first of January.
But this has come in the way of timely
showers which have kept everything in
the best OF growing shape, and there
have been no heavy downpours which
would make a record of heavy rainfall,
but which would all run off iii the

THE HOME MADE FL LAG
Made by Pioneers in Those Fal
Away Years.

Brooklngs Register. Some time ago
we had communication from Henry
stearns Of Medary, describing the
first 4th of July celebration held in
Brookings county, and in fact in the
upper Sioux Valley. 1t was held at
Medary on the 4th Of July, 1873, aud ia
his Write-up Mr.. Stea.ls mentioned
the flag made by the settlers for this
historic occasion. The flag has been
in Mr., Stearns' possession all these
years and last week he presented it to
the State Historical society. The flag
has a most interesting history, and will
be a valuable addition to the collection
Of the society
When the settlers began to prepare
for their celebration they found they
had no flag tor use on the occasion
and the one now in the possession of
the society was manufactured foT the
occasion. Thered stripes were made
from an old scarf, and the white ones
from apetticoat donated for the pnr-
pose by oneof the ladies Of the party.
Inc held was made by painting a piece
Oh white cloth blue, after blocking out
the the stars, which were left unpainted
The banner is by feet in size. With
the lag was ano old pair of blacksmith
longs, which We're brought to Medary
by the first settlers insiis57, and which
were with other articles cached when
the party was driven out by Indians
Later settlers opened the each and took
out the articles inclosed.

Has Mars Been Talking To US?

Charles 'Eorquet in the August Met
ropolitan suggests the possibility that
Mars has been trying to communicate
with the earth by means of wireless
telegraphy. He says:
Strange things are happening. For
some time past toward midnight the
receivers Of the wireless telegraph sta
.tions have registered, and for long
period at astime, the signal three dots.

then is this mysterious call. These
three dots singularly recall these points
of light which were observed on the
planet. Mars in 1901. 5s
This raises an interesting question.
Suppose by some wireless instrument
and heliograph we do get signals from
Mars, how will we be able to proceed
further in communicating with the
Martlans Who will interpret their
signals for ussand ours for them !?

An Iowa Misognist.

a recent visitor in Pierre was disin-
clined to sociability. After he had
been there afew days, a young woman
stopping at hessame hotel took pity on
his sssaming loneliness and tried to On
gage him in conversation. After a
few conventional remarks, she asked
what had brought him to The Springs.
"Fits," he replied, confidently, fits.
And Pm SO glad to make acquaint-
ances, for the doctor doesn't want me

The young woman disappeared, and

ABOUT A TRUNK LINE
Minneapolis and St. Louis Seeking
Route to Pierre.

Onida Watchman: The Watchman
had an interview this week, with a
gentleman formally connected with
railroad constructions III this state.
This man informs us that we have
more to hope for by way of Railroad
from Minneapolis and ST. Louis sys.
tenn than from the Great Northern.
While5an extention of the Great North
ern from Aberdeen to Pierre, said he
would be of benefit to that system as
to the country through which such ex-
tention would pass, yet the Great
Northern Company seems to give
greater attention to Railroad consolid-
alton than to railway construction,
and this is likely to be so in their case
for, some time to come. Whereas, the
Minneapolis and st. Louis Company is
interested solely in construction and is
bettering their system. They are fami.
liar with the growth and future of
Pierre, the capita:Sof the state. They
are familiar with the unoccupied con
dition OF Sally county They know
that the county is large producer of
grain, as we'll as a large consumer Of
lumber. Their road is a lumber and
grain road , and they are nearer to Sui
" county and to Pierre, than the Great
Northern Company
The town OF Cresbard, located on
their newline to the river, bids fair to
be an important town, and tits prob
able that they will start their construc-
ton Southwest from Cresbard and uti-
LIE The present grade through Fanlk
and Hyde counties, as far South west
as the Roy post Office and then west to
the Nc Camley post Office and TO Onida
The gentleman with whom we were
talking was surprised to see so thriving
a town as Onida without a railroad,
and so fine an unoccupied country.

glstratlon will probably be continued
until the collection Of the September
call Of taxes from the counties, when
the cash payments of warrants will be
resumed. With the Increased valua-
tlon and the general outlook of state
finances there is no reason inst the
