SITUATION IMPROVING.

The anthrax plague in the southern
part of the state now seems to be
under control, and it is thought that
it can be confined to the small dis
trict now affected and in a short time
it will be completely wiped out.
DR.. r. G. Lawton and Dr. F. NJ.
Smith, representing the Department of
animal industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture, have been
in Clay county investigating conditions
in the anthrax district. AS a result
of their Investigations all farmers in
the county have been ordered to burn
their animals when they die, and not
bury them. This, the government rep
resentatives claim, is of the utmost
Importance in preventing the spread
of the disease.
In Clay county the anthrax seems
to be abating, due largely, no doubt,
to the wholesale vaccination which
has been going on. But the disease
has reached to within four miles of
Beresford in Union county, and is
prevalent in Turner county in the d.
rection of Centerville.
In Yankton county, where the east
ern part is now under quarantine, it
having been raised by the authorities
west of the Jim river, men are station
ed at all of the bridges across the Jim
river and they will see to it that no
person from the district under quar-
antine is allowed to cross with team
into the district that is now free from
quarantine regulations.
1t was the desire of the stockmen in
Clay and Yankton counties to be
granted the privilege of taking their
stock to the state fair, but it is very
doubtful If their Overtures will be
needed.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT.

A fast and interesting tournament
was held ON the local grounds last
Thursday between players from Elk
ton, Madison, Oldham and Brookings.
The finals in both the singles and the
doubles were not played off as the
visitors who had worked themselves
up the semi-finals had to default owing
to lack of time that day and they did
not care to remain over to play the
match off. Van Fishback and III. b.
Mathews were the winners in the sin.
giles and in their match the latter de.
faulted to- the former in order to save
himself for the doubles. These two
were also winners of the doubles. The
visiting players here were, Messrs.
Bradbury, Christianson, Hetland and
Riley of Oldham; Messrs. Burnett and
Mckay Of Madison; and Messrs. En-.
right and Zalesky, of Elkton.

COLES NEW PAGER.

Geo. Cole has different steed every
day and no particular comment is
made on it, but last Saturday after
noon he caused the people to sit up
and take notice by driving down town
with a cow hitched to a road cart.
This came about as result of wager
with Ned Briggs. Briggs had been
bantering George about his ability as
driver of horses and told him that
he didn't believe that he could even
drive a cow. George bet his limit
twenty-five cents, that he could do
the trick, and went to Briggs house,
hitched up Ned's COW and drove bossy
around town for an hour or so. Cole
says he is going to enter his new
driver in the free-for-all at the county
fair.

LOCK YOUR DOORS.

1t would be just as we'll for the
people of the city to keep their doors
and windows carefully locked for the
next few weeks while the country is
full of tramps and threshing hands.
We have heard reports of two or three
attempted burglaries around the city and
Tuesday night someone entered the
home of w. H. Murphy about midnight.
Mrs. Murphy heard him downstairs,
but supposed that it was her son, Matt,
who was not yet in. Matt got home a
few minutes later just in time to see
the fellow making through the yard
for the cover of the college buildings.

BURGLARS
ARE BUSY
Thieves Loot Shdrp's JeWelry
Store Sunday Niqht
CARRY away $1,000 IN JtWtlRY
No Clue to Robbers. But Sup
posed to Be Harvest Hands

The jewelry store of d. Sharp was
broken into some time Sunday night
and jewelry to the value of approx
mately $1,000 carried away. Entrance
was made by cutting away the putty
on back window and then pushing
the glass in, and as the opening made
was about two feet square 1t was an
easy matter for man to crawl through.
The stolen goods consisted for the
most part of watches and rings, with
a few fobs and fountain pens. 1t was
all lying In show cases, together with
a large quality of other valuable mer.
chandise, but the thieves were evident
ly in hurry to make a getaway and
did not stop only long enough to- fill
their pockets. Mr.. Sharp carried no
insurance on the goods. number of
watches did not belong to him, hav-
ing been left for repairs.
The robbery was not discovered un.
til Mr.. Sharp opened up the next morn
ing and by that time the thieves had
sufficient time to put some distance
between themselves and the scene of
their crime. The robbery evidently
happened before the storm, which be-
gan about three o'clock Monday morn.
ing, as the rain had washed away all
evidence of foot prints. A common
mouth organ was found near the win
dow where the entrance was made,
within the openings of instrument filled
with grain and chaff, which lends the
suspicion that the robbery was the
work of harvest hards. To date no
clue has been discovered as to the
identity of the robbers.
The county official offered a reward
of $50 for any information leading to
the apprehension of the criminals, but
1t is very doubtful that it will ever be
paid. The local officers have handled
the case in good shape, but there Is
no clue whatever to work on, in which
case it is OF course, impossible to re-
cover the stolen property.

A GOOD SHOW.

So many musical comedies are
built without rhyme or reason that
the public in general have come to
the conclusion that the only make up
is the opening and closing speech.
Wood & Ward, realizing this state
of affairs, cast about for a comedy
that would have an original plot, and
dialogue that would necessitate the
introduction of either a chorus OF
pretty girls or number of vaudeville
acts to make it a success. In 1.-TWO
Merry Tramps" they have found just
what they have been looking for, with
the vehicle of their desire at hand
they engaged strong singing COM
pany, six high class vaudeville acts,
and chorus of handsome girls, next
special scenery was provided for each
act and singing number, wardrobe
and gowns which are marvels to the
dressmaking and costuming art.
No production in years has awaken
ed greater public admiration of the
theatre goer, artistic elegance,
harmony and brilliancy of coloring are
marked features of each of the three
acts. Every member has been engag-
ed for their particular fitness of the
roles entrusted to them. The chorus
is remarkably pretty and talented,
not only for it's ensemble work, but
for the meritorious individual work.
This attraction will be seen at the
Grand Tuesday, September s.

ANOTHER ROBBERY.

valuable horse was stolen from the
barn of F. f. Rebne, three miles south
OF Bruce, Tuesday night The loss was
not discovered until the next morning
but Mr.. Rebne thinks the theft was
committed about eleven o'clock, as
about that time he heard the dogs
barking furiously, although he thought
nothing of it at the time Up to last
night no trace OF the animal had been
found, but officers in all the surround
ing country have been notified and
given description of the horse and II
is quite likely that the theft will be
picked up.

ATTEND YOUR OWN FAIR.

The South Dakota Board of Agricul-
ture has issued statement to the
people of South Dakota in which it
appeals to the loyalty of the citizens
of the state to support their own fair
by attending at least one day. The
Board has labored necessarily to- make
the fair a success and we believe their
efforts should be rewarded by the lar
gest attendance the fair has ever en-
joyed. The statement is as follows:
The South Dakota State Board of
Agriculture invites you to attend at
least one day, and more if possible, at
the 1908 state fair, to be held in the
city of Huron, commencing September
7th and closing September 18th. Mon
day, September 7th, will be given to
putting everything in readiness for the
main day of the fair-Tuesday, Sept.
Sth. The board has labored to give
the people of this state the best mon
ey cEn obtain in gathering together
the states resources together in one
place so We can all see the magnitude,
as we'll as quality Of what our state
produces. No state in the Union offers
today what we can in grains, livestock,
mineral products and educational facil-
|ities and has no better way to demon
strate to the world than through the ac-
tive support of its own people to this
interest.
We urge all who can attend any
such exposition, wherever held, If not
at period conflicting with our own
dates.
A coterie of men operating cor
pcration for profit in a city in an ad-
Joining state, that has for years de-
pended upon this great commonwealth
for it's support and trade, have again
fixed their dates to conflict with ours
The business men in that city have
made statement after statement to- our
people, that they were against the
operating and continuing OF said fair
in opposition to the South Dakota State
fair, but for years have permitted this
act to continue without one open at
tempt to adjust it, The business in
terests of Sioux City are not sincere
or they are a party to- this continuous
attempt to rob South Dakota of what
is her own. We do not believe in boy
colt or harsh language, but we do be-
lieve in South Dakota having its own.
The South Dakota State Board or
Agriculture would like to have the
newspapers of this state make de-
termined effort through their columns
condemning the act of the Sioux City
corporation, their assistance should be
given instead of year after year plas-
tering the state with advertising mat
ter attracting our people from lts
own Let our people make 1T point
to attend their own state fair in pref
erence, and to urge all others to 90
so. and to condemn, where ever pos
sible, the acts of said city. That our
people send their exhibits to their own
state fair and not to city that mas
no respect for what has been its best
customer. We know our people are
Ioyal to their own interests, and this
appeal is made for the purpose or en-
tightening them on the true conditions
and that they will, by their active sup
mort of the South Dakota State Fair,
rebuke the continuous abuse from our
neighboring city.

GOOD ADVICE.

A Lincoln County girl writes this
advice to the Kansas City Star: "Why
do young men do so much loaf1ng? Go
to work. Push ahead, | am but "a
young girl but l clothe myself and
have money in the bank. | lay up
more money every year than any
young man within three miles of my
home. When they get a dollar they
go to a dance and go home a dollar
out. advise all girls to cut clear of
all loafing boys. Stand by the boy
who works, and never put your arm
through the handle of jug"
Were I young girl and knew as
much about men and human nature as
| now do, no young man who loafs
around, talks ugly, curses, or drinks
whisky should ever keep my COM
pany. Many pure, beautiful girl has
been wooed and won and ruined by
keeping bad company. Temptations
do not come with flying flags and
blowing trumpets, but as a thief in
the night. The girl that goes out at
night with young man full of whisky
is taking a great risk. He may be gen.
teel, nice and all that, but you had
better let him go alone. There is not
a young man in Jasper county that
would, under any circumstances, keep
the company of a young lady who
curses, talks ugly. drinks whisky
chews tobacco, dips snuff, smokes CT
garettes. loafs around on the streets
all night, and goes to questionable
places. They would not respect them
any more than they would a yellow
dog. Yet our young ladies keep the
company of young men who do some
or all of these things, and actually
look like they think it quite an honor
to be permitted to do so. Shame on
them! Were l young lady l would
quit it. II | could not lift the young
men up, they could not drag me down.
The young ladies of every community
ought to firmly resolve not to in any
way associate with any young man
who curses, drinks. or visits question
able places. It would be great protec-
tion for themselves and a great re-
straining force to the young men.
Many pure, sweet girl has wrecked
her life by keeping bad company. mo

efforts began last winter to compel
President Castro to capitulate to the
Asphalt Trust have undergone no
modification.
In his letter of withdrawal, Mr..
Sleeper says that his orders are based
upon Castro's 'persistant REFUSAL to
give redress for action by him "by
which all American interests in this
country (venezuela) have been de-
stroyed or confiscated, or to submit
the claims for such redress to arbitra-
tion" This charge is denied at length
in Minister Paul's reply to Mr. Sleep
er.
The claims set forth in Secretary
Roots communication to the Senate at
Washington, March 9th last were nom
inally five in number, though it is the
general belief that If the Asphalt Trust
was satisfied by Castro the other
claims" would never be heard OF
again. The "claims" enumerated by
Mr.. Root are as follows:
/. The claim of A. F. Jaurett.
2. The claim of the Orinoco Corpora
ton.
3. The claim of the Orinoco Steam
ship Company.
4. The claim of the United States
and Bermudez Company (the Asphalt
Trust.)
To take up these "claims" in the or

status, 1t is only necessary to refer tc

With the approach OF the Fourth Of
July the usual warnings are issued
by the press Of the care that should
be exercised by boys and men In the
handling Of the explosives which
have been contrived to vent to the
pent up enthusiasm Of the whole year.
About all the advice amounts to Is
the fling up the space In the news
paper, for the boz and the man will
still 90 on and shoot the fire cracker
with the same recklessness as in
times past and there will be- the
usual hunter OF casualties to report
after the national holiday is over
With. There seems to be sort Of a
spirit Of s%elf-sacritice In the land
along about the fourth and where
ordinary caution would be used to
avoid an accident it Is thrown to the
winds in the eager desire to shoot
the cannon cracker or send a rocket
Into the air. Assane Fourth of July
Is q very much desired thing but 1t
seems to be beyond realization for
some years to come.
