CHANGES IN FACULTY.
Opening Of Year Finds Many New
Teachers at Yankton COLLEGE,

The opening registration of students
at Yankton college shows a distinct
increase over the number of last year,
and all indications point to an unu-
sually successful and progressive
year. The most important changes.
however, are in the personnel of the
faculty. Miss Alice R. Kingsbury has
returned from her year of study in
Paris and and Leipsic to resume her
work as professor of modern lam
guages. Prof. George H. Durand,
who for several years has held the
chair Of English, has been granted
leave of absence for a year of study
abroad. During his absence the work
in the college will be in the hands of
Miss Adeline M. Jenney, former
Instructor in English in the institu-
ton, who last year received her mas
ter's degree from the University Of
Illinois. DR.. R. c. Mullenix begins
this year his work as professor of
biology.
DR.. H. H. Armstrong comes as pro-
fessor of Latin after brief terms OF
teaching service in Juanita college,
Huntington, Pa, and Whitworth col
lese, Tacoma, Wash. He is a gradu-
ate of the University of Michigan in
1901.
r. c. Umberger, Yale, 'O9, comes to
take charge Of mems athletic work
and to assist in the department of
n athematics. Miss McEbright t
Akron, Ohio. will take charge of the
work in oratory. Miss E. Fern Smith,
recently a student in the Oberlin Con-
servatory of Music, comes as instruct

FARM WORK is RUSHED.
favorable Weather Has Been of Great
Benefit to Threshers.

sNsoi opiS weather F1dS Been OF Great
Benefit to Threshers.
The work of threshing the small
grain crop raised in the state this sea-
son is being pushed in all parts of
he state. The weather has been very
favorable for threshing operations.
here having been but few rainy days
thus far this fall. 1t is estimated that
FULLY 60 per cent of the small grain
crop of the state has been threshed.
Owing to wet weather during last
tall, last years crop was not threshed
until well into the winter. If the
weather averages as favorable during
the next few weeks as during the fall
thus far, the work of threshing will
be completed in the state in general
before the month of October is very
far advanced.
Excessively hot weather during the
past two or three weeks, and the alb
sence of rains, has injured late corn
to some extent, but has ripened the
early sown, which now has fully ma
tGred. If killing frosts hold off for a
few days longer practically every acre
of corn in South Dakota will be safe
from injury. All the corn in con-
siderable part of the state, particu-
larly the southern section, now has
matured.
Rain is badly needed to place the
ground in condition for fall blowing
and to improve pasturage.
Grain is bein ghurried to market in
all parts of the state, and the elevator
men and the railroads are in numer-
Gus instances having a hard time
keeping the elevators from becoming
congested with grain. At few
points temporary shortages of cars
has compelled elevators to tempo
rarily stop purchasing grain, but as
yet there has been no serious car
shortage anywhere in the state
The railroad companies are doing
everything within their power to fur
nish empty cars as fast as required,
and thus keep the grain moving If
they can continue to stand the strain
of the next few weeks there will be
no serious shortage of cars in South
Dakota this season, notwithstanding
the state has raised an immense crop
of small grain.

COMEDY OF ERRORS AT ALpENA.
Citizens Trailed Each Other For Yeoo-

Alpena was the scene of an inter-
esting and exciting comedy of errors.
winch was caused by the telephone
/ wires entering being temporarily plac-
ed out OF commission by the album
dance OF electricity in the air, and the
belief that the wires had been cut by
yeggmen preparatory to making
raid.
Scene 1.-Grant Anderson decides
TO remain in his place of business
and watch it during the night to pre-
vent an expected raid by the yegg-
men. Mrs. Anderson becomes alarm
ed by his prolonged absence at the
store. AT midnight, DR.. D. D. Burns,
M. G. Shull, A. F. Pearson and J. w.
Doubenmier return to Alpena in an
auto. They are spied by Mrs. Ander-
son, who tells them of her fear for her
husbands safety, and they CALAMITY
promise to go to his store and ascer-
tain If he is all right. They first try
the front door, but receiving no re-
spouse go to the back windows and
door and finally make Anderson I'M
derstand what they want.
Scene AT this juncture two other
Alpena men, Walter j. Smith and AL
bert Kaye, return to town from the
country, where they spent the early
part of the night. They espy the
four men in the rear of Andersons
store and instantly conclude that
craftsmen have entered the town and
are about to rob the Anderson store.
Kaye decides to do some detective
work on his own account, and takes
up a position in the shadow of the
Presbyterian church building, in the
vicinity of the Anderson store. l.. D.
Miller, another citizen, who was STIR
ring on that eventful night, comes
along at about this time and discovers
the suspicious character in the
shadow of the church. He summons
a friend and together they watch the
suspicious character, finally conclud-
ing that he is spy or picket for the
yeggmen.
Scene 3.-Having decided to sur
round and capture the suspicious char
acter, they make an effort to capture
Kaye, but he considers discretion the
better part of valor and fees, believ-
ing his pursuers to be yeggmen. Ee is
SO feet of foot that his pursuers give
up the chase and return to the Ander-
son store.
Scene 4.-Kaye, noting that the
supposed yeggmen have abandoned
the chase and returned to the Ander-
son store, turns about and follows
them to Illustrate if possible the rob
berry of the store.
Scene 5.-Noticing that the lone
yeggman whom they chased is again
returning to town the pursuers again
give chase. After much lodging the
pursued and pursuers suddenly come
face to face as each party was steal
ing around corner of the Presbyter-
ian parsonage for the purpose of cut
ting off the retreat of the other.
Scene 6.-They recognized each
other before the shooting commenced
and before any lives were lost, and
mutual explanations followed.

Pierre Exposition Draws Large Crowds
And Has Good Exhibits.
The second annual Gas Bit exposf-
ton drew large crowds at Pierre. The
agricultural exhibits equal those seen
at any agricultural show in the state
this fall. The apple exhibit from
Stanley county is as good as the state
can produce Sully county also makes
a feature of it's fruit production.
Beadle is the first county to come to
tbs exposition with an exhibit outside
the Missouri valley, and is strong on
its grains of all kinds. Hyde county
is showing what they can do on the
high prairie in the way of agricultural
products.
One of the exhibits which is attract
ing great deal Of attention is that
from the Shaffenberg farm, eight
miles south of Fort Pierre, in Stanley
county, in which the production of a
sod crop by one homesteader is at
tractively arranged. 1t consists of
corn, wheat, oats, Speltz, DucKWneat,
pop corn, sorghum, with alfalfa promi-
nent, and all kinds of field and garden
vegetables. The one feature which
makes it prominent and gives it in
terest is that the land on which it
was grown was prairie sod year
ago.
The government Indian school has
a private exhibit, showing what can
be done by the Indian boys of that
institution in the way of farming, and
their showing is one which need not
suffer in comparison with the exhib-
it's of any farm. The interior of the
auditorium building is beautifully dec
Grated, with corn as the prominent
feature in the decorations, and grain
predominates in all the exhibits.

fact that Presho has the three largest
hotels on the Black Hills extension on
the Milwaukee road, and that the res
