Spokane. Wash, Sept. 16.-Nelson
3. Pratt. - years Of age, has insti-
tuted an action in the Spokane coun-
~ superior court here through his
father, Elmer e. Pratt, against the
Great Northern Railway company,
asking $4,000 as balm for alleged
disgrace and humiliation. The boy
and four playmates Of similar age
were arrested on May 15. accused Of
placing q tie on the company's track,
for the purpose of wrecking the ORR
entail Limited train. After a hear
ing in the juvenile court, sentence
was suspended during good behavior.
The complaint alleges that the boy
was wrongfully arrested and detain-
ed without probable cause, without
q complaint having been filed Or a
warrant issued, also that agents OF
the company sought to obtain a con
fession by threats of violence and
imprisonment. Another allegation is
that the boy was virtually branded a
criminal though exonerated by the
court.

The race between the corn crop and
Jack Frost this year was a f1zzls. The
frost was far and away in the rear,
and 1t did not have the first chance of
winning out in the corn growing sec
ton of South Dakota. There were
years when the heart stood still.
ly, in anticipation of an early frost
and spelling the corn crop. bat that
was years ago., and not onc in the
past ten or twelve years has the corn
crop been caught. Iowa, Illinois and
Indiana are taking off their hats to
the corn growing proclivities of South
Dakota, and this year the residents
of those three states who have trav-
eled through this state have marveled
at the splendid growth and the evil
dences of a successful crop. Those
states have been troubled either with
too much or too little moisture, while
in this section the average has been
such as to make the corn crop a super
Tor one. Advance reports indicate
that South Dakota will practically
Guido herself this year in the way of
raising corn, and the future years
will even be better when the farmers
in a more general way learn to pre-
pare for their seed corn as has been
suggested by A. E. Chamberlain by
gathering it in the fall instead OF
waiting until during the winter or
early spring. Mr.. Chamberlain has
demonstrated successfully that the
the time to gather seed corn is in the
middle of September and this year a
lot of farmers have made the most of
it and now have their seed corn
slowed away for early testing.

On next Monday Mitchell's corn
palace will be opened to the world to
witness the greatest display of the
resources Of South Dakota, and to
hear the best band organization in
the United States-the Presidents
Aband-the Marine band. Mitchen S
r palace committee made a ten
strike Of the most pronounced char
acter when it decided to secure the
Marine band. 1t is an organization
of the people, and there r mighty
few whoShave heard this band. Con-
they will all want to come
to MITCHELL to hear it.. 1t will be a
royal treat in music and the memory
OF 1T will linger long in the minds of
those who hear 1t. The agricultural
products will tell the story of the
crop producing qualities of the soil
of the state, and much is placed in
store by these exhibits to advertise
the state. South Dakota's prominence
has been greatly enhanced year after
year by the exhibition in the corn
palace. and the splendid crops Of this
year will add that much more to the
states advertising. Mitchell people
will put their best foot forward to
make everything in harmony with
the great occasion. and they propose
TO make the week the most enjoyable
In the history Of the enterprise.

The New York Herald and the Chi
cago Record-Herald are publishing
the story Of DR.. Cook. the explorer.
and It 10 making most interesting
reading. The Herald frankly comedies
that DR.. Cook is really the discoverer
Of the north pole. and it accepts the
story Of Peary just the same, but
does not accept the theory that Peary
advances concerning the alleged
statement that Cook did not reach
the north pole. So far as Peary's story
is concerned there are many details
which At with the story Of DR.. Cook,
and he will have q very hard time to
convince the people of this country
that he is the only and original dis
coverer of the pole. His attacks on
Cook have been SO u~nWarranted, and
II has been only the Peary faction or
hackers who have taken any stock
In what he has had to say along this
line. Cook has shown a very sensible
way Of taking hold Of the situation
and has said nothing whatever that is
l~derosatory to the work Of Peary and
his attitude has brought him addition
al supporters and friends throughout
the country. We are inclined to think
that the AmericanDsaple will accord
the honor Of the Arst discovery to|
DR.. Cook. to whom Il rightfully be-
longs. DR.. Cook IL expected to land
IN New York Tuesday.
