TRAGIC DEATH
OF YOUNG O
Richard HOIzwarth Accidentally
Hangs Himself While
Playing

One of the saddeSt accidents of
recent years was that which happen
ed at the home of Jacob Holzwarth,
of Florence twp. last Thursday.
Richard, the ten year old son. was
playing in the barn alone shortly
after dinner, and had climbed up on
the rafterS to put up a swing.
When an older brother went into the
barn a little later, he found the little
lad lying with the rope pulled tightly
around his throat, and life all but eX-
tinct. The brother quickly released
the boy, but after a gasp or two, he
ceased to breath.
1t is supposed that Richard lost
his balance while up on the r~afters,
and fell, wrapping the rope around
him while doing SO.
The funeral services were conduct
ed Saturday at the PRESBYTERIAN
church in this city and the remains
laid to rest in the G.. A. r. cemetery,
A father and mother, two sisters and
three brothers live to mourn the loss
of the little fellow, and to them
much sympathy is rendered.

The circus has been to town. It
came. and brought with it a prize
package of red lemonade wealth
er. but as is always the case, the
crowds came too. regardless of the
heat. The ice cream and cold drink
places could not keep the mass of
thirsty humanity satisfied, and the
red lemo speelers were in paradise.
1t is estimated that about $500
people witnessed the afternoon per-
Torrance, and there was also a good
crowd in attendance at night.
Gollmar Bros. have visited this ter.
ritory several times and always give
good satisfaction. Their show is a
good clean one and ranks with the
best of the smaller circuses.

ISSUES
PROCLAMATION
For the Development Congress
At Pierre Next Week

THE people of South Dakota are
united in using their best endeavors
for the upbuilding of the State and
for the development and utilization
of its natural resources. and just
how to assist the intelligent develop
ment of these is today a
leading question.
Our agricultural possibilities are
as great as those of any state in the
Union; our hills and our mountains
contain deposits Of valuable ores, the
extent of which is yet unknown; a
large section of the state is under
laid with beds Of coal, the limits of
which have not been determined;
our streams afford the opportunity
for the development of vast power at
numerous points within the state.
Irrigation may, in certain sections of
the state, be employed to aid and up
build intensive agriculture; orchard
ing is especially adaptable to devel-
opment in different parts of the
state. Our manufacturing industries
may be very materially increased if
given proper consideration: our
transportation facilities are made
quate and their extension should be
encouraged.
Having carefully considered the
need of a concerted effort on the
part of the people of the State for
conserving and developing our natur-
al resources. I,R S. Wesley, Govern
or Of the Commonwealth. hereby
proclaim the holding of the First
South Dakota Conservation and De-
velopment Congress in the AUDITOR
um in the City of Pierre, on June
1880 and July /, 1910, and earnestly
invite the entire citizenship of the
state to participate in this Congress.

Automobile Industry

100000 new automo oiles will be built
in this country in 1910. at a value of
$3.50, 900, 900. The gasoline wagon
has come to stay, and is rapidly be-
coming indispensable among farmers
as well as in cities and towns. In
the year 1895 there were 70 cars
built in this country. in 1909 the
figures had leaped to 5000, and
II 1910 to 210. 900. showing what a

DROUTH FELT
In MANY STATES
Dry, Hot Weather I'm Northwest
Indicates Decreased Crop
Yield

st. Paul, June 2l.-While the in
tense heat and the drouth conditions
that are prevailing over the North
west have brought a crisis in crop
conditions, in many districts reports
indicate that serious damage is not
extensive and that anxiety regarding
the yield is based on predictions as
to what may happen if rain does not
come within the present week, rather
than on actual damage.
Reports received in the last two
days bear out the belief that liberal
rainfall even in sections from which
come the gloomiest reports, will in
sure a wheat crop of fair proper
tons.

Yankton, S. D., June 21.-There is
absolutely no damage to crops in
this county from heat. Rains last
week were plentiful. Continuous
heat will mean need of rain towards
the end of this week.
Watertown, S. D., June 2l.-Crops
in Codington and adjoining counties
are doing well. and weather for past
10 days bright and warn following
heavy rain, big boost. Corn making
good showing. Crop experts here say
there will be no damage if no more
rain falls for two or three weeks.
Redheld. S. D., June 2l.-Crop
conditions in north central South
Dakota are, on the average. not
quite as favorable for the last week.
A large portion of the state received
a tairly good rain one week ago, but
this was followed by four days of
heavy winds which dried the ground
rapidly. While small grain is not
suffering as yet for want of moist
ure. yet another good general rain
is needed. Some of the wheat has
already commenced to head.
