The Future Promises Much.

From present indications, every one
of which is of the most favorable, there
is the best Of reason to believe that the
year 1908 will be the banner one in the
history of advancement Of the state of
South Dakota Even the most optmis-
tic have contended that no year cou Id
for some time surpass the last one in
point Of general settlement, improve
ment and advancement; but these men
today concede the entire possibility Of
an onward rush before the year shall
be over which will astonish even the
residents Of the state. The rapid settle
nent of the country west of the river
which began witha rush early in the
spring-in fact, before the winter was
we'll over and the intent of every set
tier to make for himself home, com
petence and independence, has caused
the turning over of more good soil dur
ing the past month than was ever done
in the state during any year. Every
acre turned has been sown to some thing
and will have the advantage Of experi-
ienced farming to make the crop an en-
tire success Daily Capital.

An Up-te-Date Performer.

There is nothing supernatural about
the work of McEven the. Great, who is
to appear here next week. Heis a
scientist and accounts for every thing
he does upon the natural laws, aud the
feats, or whatever they may be called,
accompIshes, may be explained in a
natural way, They are not of char
acter that gives one the creepycrawliag
feeling, and sends one home believiag
in ghosts, spooks and the like. They
are, however, more wonderful because
they are real, performed 10y a power
which, though we do not understand,
is as fixed and as much rail of nature
itself as the law of gravitation and
other I'm m forces.
Thus, while we see woman sudden
ly disappear into space before our very
eyes, we know she is human, material
and so governed by established natural
laws that it is impossible for her to
vanish in thin air. Yet, where does
she go, and how is the illusion pro-
duced? These are the questions, to
solve the mystery of which students
will go nightly to the performance OF
the Great McEwen and return mysti
fed more than ever. Each evenings
entertainment winds you deeper in the
tolls until you are compelled TO confess
yourself beaten and acknowledge the
presence of master.
While magic viii constitute the ma
