A Terrible Accident.

Witten.-Louis Irons, homesteader
living about four miles west of this
place, was perhaps fatally injured as
the result of an accident. He was
driving four horses hitched to a
plow and had the lines over his shoul
ders, when the cleyis pin broke. Not
being able to release himself. he was
dragged over the plow handle upon a
dull piece of iron that projected two
or three inches above the plow beam.
The projecting iron tore large hole
in his chest, crushing through his
breast bone and exposing the lungs.
In this condition the unfortunate man
made his way alone to his home, some
little distance from the scene of the
accident. He is a young married man,
and formerly lived at Kingsley, Ia.,
coming here after drawing home.

WAR VETERAN STRICKEN.
Nelson Gardner, Of Aberdeen, S. D.,
Critically III Of Paralysis.

Aberdeen-Nelson Gardner, vet
eran of the civil war, during which he
was a member Of the Nineteenth Wis
consin, was stricken with paralysis
and his condition is critical. He set
tied on a farm near Aberdeen In 1881,
and later moved to the city.
Gardner, who was only 10 when the
war closed, was noted for his nerve
and daring. At one time when the
confederates were in some tall grass
which concealed their movements, the
commander called for a volunteer to
set fire to the grass and Gardner re-
sponded. Swimming the stream with
some matches wrapped in oiled paper
in his mouth, he succeeded In setting
fire to the grass, routing the enemy
from its position, and then swan back
under a rain of bullets.

GOING AFTER WELLS-FARcO.
state Railroad Commission Declares
Corporation Must Obey Law.

Mitchell.-Tho hearing before the
state railroad commission OF A. j.
Ludlow, the traffic manager OF the
Wells-Fargo Express Company, was
held, the company being called upon
to show why it should not comply
with the state laws adopted by the
last legislature, requiring it to reduce
it's rates 20 per cent.
Ludlow assumed the position that
on Jan. ! the Wells-Fargo Company
was not doing business in the state
and had no rates to be adjusted un'
der the state law.
UphoIds Higher Rate.
He said that when his company
came into the state 1t made it's rates
on the mileage basis, about three
times as high as the first class freight
rates Of the railroads in the state.
He was much opposed to making the
minimum rate of any package less
than SO cents, though the other com.
panies' minimum rate was 35 cents.
The result of the conference was a
declaration on the part Of the com
mission that, while the present sched-
ule Of express rates established by the
other companies doing business in the
state, aside from the Wells-Fargo,
were apparently in line with the law
passed by the legislature, that COM
pany stood out against compliance
with the law.
Grabs Big Stick.
In order to force that company to
adopt the same schedules in force on
other lines it might be necessary for
the railroad commission to make up
and establish tariff covering express
rates based on distance. II SO, 1t
might mean some slight changes on
the part of the other companies. If
the Wells-Fargo Company agrees to
putting its rates under the 1909 law
the matter will be dropped.
Commissioner Ness, on behalf of the
Commercial Club, made statement to
the commission asking for joint
freight rates from Mitchell to the
Black Hills country, and also requir.
ing the Milwaukee and the Omaha
roads to connect their tracks in this
city.
A hearing of this matter will be
held here on Aug. "a.

A Cjty Clerks Garden.

A city clerk never misses chance
of expatiating on his garden to his
colleagues, who, however, were never
taken home to see it, but were
under the impression it was Of enor

to have look at it, discovered his ad'

noon to see the hundreds of roses all
a-growing and a-blooming. On being
taken to the rear Of the house, judge
of their surprise on seeing back

IN EXTREME HOT WEATHER.
Fish, Bride and Animals Az Suffer by
the Heat Just as Men %.

Humans" said a nature lover
are by no means the only sufferers
from intense summer heat: there are
plenty OF lower creatures that suffer.
Fish, for instance, are oppressed
by the heat Just as men are, and II
they can't find shelter from it they
may be killed by t. In shallow fresh
water ponds fish sometimes die by
the hundred. killed by the excessive
heat OF the water, warmed beyond
Eheir endurance by the beating sun.
I'm streams fish seek the shady
stretches and the deep places and the
spring holes where they can keep
cool, and in salt water fish go away
from the shallow overheated water
close to shore and seek the cooler
depths.

1T is just the same with domestic
fowls. Extreme hot weather dis
tresses them greatly; at such time
you can see chickens with their beaks
open and fairly painting with the heat,
and then they want plenty OF water.
Cows? or course On the very
hot days they seek the trees If there
are any in the pasture lot, to stand
in the shade of them, and then II
they are bothered by flies the COWS

Watering Greenhouse Plants.

For the guidance OF those who are
inexperienced in plant culture 1t may
be stated that no greenhouse plant
should become quite dry at the roots
from May to October.
II a plant does not actually suffer
it comes to a standstill as soon as
the roots can no longer draw up mois-
ture: therefore there is a distinct loss
OF time, certain amount of the grow
ing season being lost This fact Is
so well recognized by market grow

doned almost any fault rather than
that of neglectful waterlng.-Garden
