SOLDIERS GATHER.

Tuesdays Public Opinion says:
The a1uua. encampment Of the South
Dakota national guard opened this
morning at Camp Roosevelt with the
arrival OF a number Of compaies OF
militia from various parts of the state.
The number has been steadily in
creasius all day. as more companies
are continually arriving. and by this
evening Fl is expected that the full
number. sixteen companies, amount
ine 20 about COO men, will be encamp.
60 on the grounds.
over night a city of tents has
sprung up at Camp Roosevelt and
nearly eTvTy half hen. has brought
a new company to the grounds. There
has been much work and little play
for the men in kahki uniforms thus
far, for the work of getting every
thing in shape at the camp has ne
c%essitated no inconsiderable amount
OF labor.
A large share of the officers were
herr already attending the officers
school but their companies were
brought in charge of subordinate of
ficers.
The signal corps and Company F,
both of WATERFOWL, went into camp
yesterday and worked all day putting
up tents. The Fourth Regiment band
went out this morning. This makes
three companies from WATERFOWL in
camp.
Yesterday afternoon the officers at
tending the school undertook a four
mile practice march. which was in
every way the most successful OF any
thing in this years school. March
Ing as privates, the men marched to
the head of Lake Kampeska and back.

meals, which together with hard tack.

who had walked so far in the swelter-
ing sun.
The school this year was a success
In every sense of the word, and those
who attended are enthusiastic about
having another next summer. There
have been many phases Of camp life
that have been brought out by the
regular army instructors which have
appealed to the national guard men.
The march work was especially inter-
esting and is so practical that every
officer feels that he has greatly prof
tied from the instruction in that
branch alone sufficiently to pay him
for attending. to say nothing of the
social time which all enjoyed.

A CROP

1t is safe to predict that South Da.
kota will again this year produce more
wealth per capita in the way of prod.
ucts of the soil than n other state
of the Northwest-not excluding those
states which were old and thickly set
tied when South Dakota was in it's in
fancy.
The following reports from various
parts of the state accurately set forth
present conditions as to crops.
Webster-The prospects in Day
county are very good, especially in
fields where there has been a rotation
of crops.
Henry-Crops in this vicinity are
in somewhat better condition than
elsewhere in Codington county and the
best between here and the Twin Cit
les.
Emery-Harvesting has commenced
in different parts of this (Hanson)
county, reports coming from farmers
that some Of the rye, barley and early
oats have been cut. Before the COM
ing week is far advanced the harvest
ing will be nearing completion.
Milbank-While many of the farm
ers of this vicinity are going to be
disappointed in their expectations of
20 bushels to the acre, yet wherever
farming has been properly done there
will be a very good yield. A conser-
vative estimate is that Grant, Day and
Roberts counties will harvest at least
10 per cent Of a normal crop, and the
percentage may be higher than that.
Britton-Crops have improved won
derfully during the past ten days be-
cause Of recent rains and some fields
that looked quite bad ten days ago
and were regarded as hardly worth
cutting now look good for from eight
to ten bushels to the acre. Pastures
are poor but hay land is coming nice
ly.
Trent-Crop conditions in the vicin-
ity of Trent are fully up to the av-
erage. While the hay crop will be
short, the recent rains have made
small grain conditions nearly normal
and the corn is by far the best in re-
cent years.
F1andreau-The rye harvest is prac-
tically completed in this Moody)
county and barley harvest has com.
menced. The rams have helped all
late crops and has revived the pas
lures. The crop outlook II the coan-
ty is exceptionally good, and with a
couple OF weeks of favorable weather
the small grain will be in the shock.
Platte-Conservative estimates are
that wheat in this vicinity will Yield
from 10 to Is bushels per acre. Corn
Is a little behind, but has an excellent
stand. Oats, it is estimated, will Yield
from 30 to so bushels per acre. The
hay crop is very short. Wheat on what
is known as the Roberts place., near
town, will yield between 20 and 25
bushels per acre.
Hot Springs-Owing to recent rains
late grains, corr and vegetables are

IN A CELL
Fitzgerald Did Not Secure a
Reduction Of $4,000 Bond

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Efforts TO secure
reduction in the bail of George w.
Fitzgerald, who was arrested here yes
terday charged with stealing $4,000
from the treasury three years ago,
we're made in the United States dis
trict court today before Judge Lands.
Judge Lands fixed the bail last
night at $4,000, which Fitzgerald was
unable to furnish at the time, and in
consequence spent the night in a cell.
The prisoner, who stoutly denies the
charge against him, was brought from
the county sa-il into court to listen to
arguments. Attorney Litzinger repre-
senting the defendant declared that
bond of $4,000 or $4,000 would be
more fair. However, he declared no
matter what the sum, it will be pro-
vided. After hearing from both sides
Judge Lands declined to reduce the
bail
The bonds of $4,000 were furnished
by William Joyse and James Ralph.

That's What May Happen In
Prohibition N. D.
SEN. HANSBOROGH'S Views
FORMER SENATOR HANs5RoUGH
WARNS THE PRoHl5ITIoNIsTs
AS TO WHAT THEY MAY Ex-
PEcT IF THERE SHOULD BE A
DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE.

Minneapolis Tribune: If North Da-
kota goes democratic at the fall cleo
tions, the state will either depart al
together from the policy of prohibition
Of the liquor traffic or grant local OPP
ton, according to H. C. Hansbrough,
former United States senator from
North Dakota.
North Dakota has had a democratic
governor for four years, and he is now
running for a third term said the
former senator. There is also a move
ment on foot in the state to elect
enough democrats to control the legis-
lature so as to secure the election of
two United States senators. Should
this happen we may expect the demo-
Gratis to extend the local option policy
to North Dakota, as that now seems to
be the policy of the party throughout
the country. l have every confidence,
however that the republicans are go
ing to elect the entire state ticket in
November.
THE result in Maine is in conse-
quence of a strong local issue-the
liquor question" said Mr.. Hansbrough
in reply to a query as to his opinion
on the democratic victory in that state.
For many years the republicans
there have advocated prohibition. In
recent years the democratic party
seems to have adopted the policy of
local option and that was the con-
trolling issue in the recent election.
OF course, national affairs had some
thing to do with 1t. Such results al
ways follow revision of the tariff.
Whether the people of the country
intend to repeat the history of the
early nineties and return the demo-
cratic party to power, thus forcing an
other revision of the tariff along rev.
enue lines, remains to be SEEN"

Mrs Louisa Edwards, wife of Ira
Edwards, who conducts a farm at
Black Wolf Point, four miles east of

afternoon, by George Kuenzel, farm
hand, who followed up the crime by

tents of a shotgun into the woman's
neck at distance Of about five feet.
No cause for the double tragedy is

a fit of insanity, thirsted for blood and
committed the murder. and then fear

COUNTY DIVISION
ISSUE in RED LAKE

Thief River Falls. Mimi, Sept. 49,
Two county division propositions win
be voted on at the approaching cleo
ton in northwestern Minnesota. One
of these is in Polk county. In that
county the eastern part, known as the
dry territory" seeks to be set off in
new county from the western end
which has as it's centers East Grand
Forks and Crookston. Both of these
places are known as opposed to prohi-
bition and will likely aid the eastern
end to sever relations with the mother
organization. In the event that the
division carries, the county seat of the
new county will be the village Of Err
Great Northern.
The second and more bitter fight for
county division is in Red Lake, which
has been the seat of long drawn out
contest for the possession of the county
seat. The north half of the county
seeks to be organized into the county
OF Pennington, in honor of the general
manager of the 500 railway. The seat
Of the proposed new county will be
Thief River Falls.
The fight is the elimination Of one
of the fiercest battles ever waged in
Minnesota for the control of county
government. Money has been lavishly
spent and 1t is probable that If the di-
vision vote fails to carry that the issue
will appear again at the first oppor-
tunity.
In case of division each section viii
have annie territory and assessed val
uation to maintain liberal county
government Each part will be as
large, If not larger, than several OF
the small counties in central and
southern Minnesota. AS a wnole Red

ROOSEVELT?
Woodruff Says N. Y. Conven-
ton Can't Do Otherwise

New York, Sept. Theodore
Roosevelt and Timothy L. Woodruff,
chairman of the republican state COM
mittee, probably will meet at Syracuse
on Saturday. Colonel Roosevelt is to
speak at the state fair and Chairman
Woodruff, who will leave tonight for
Syracuse to attend dinner to be given
in his honor by the state fair officials,
will stay over until Sunday to hear
what the colonel has to say.
Woodruff was asked whether he had
heard anything in confirmation of the
report said t. have emanated from the
friends of Colonel Roosevelt to the ef-
feet that President Taft looks with
favor on the Roosevelt programme at
the state convention.
You haven't heard that the presi-
dent has taken such position, have
your" was the chairmans reply.
1T doesn't make any difference,
however, so far as the temporary
Craftsmanship is concerned. The state
committee took a dignified position in
selecting the vice president of United
States and that selection was finally
acquiesced in by every member of the
committee present with the exception
of County Chairman Griscom and
Harry w. Mack, who were not record
ed.
II don't see how any of the men,
who voted to make Sherman's seIec-
ton unanimous, can go into the con
vention and vote for some one else
who has been injected into the situa-
ton. any more than they could go out
and work against candidate whose
nomination they had helped to make
unanimous in the convention
Lloyd G. Griscom, when told what
Chairman Woodruff had said, made
this comment: MIR. Woodruff ignores
the fact that Sherman's selection by
the state committee was attained by
the misuse of President Tafts name
Sherman's election was accomplished
in such a manner that he cannot with
dignity accept it."
Questioned as to the reports thai
Colonel Roosevelt's adherents were moi
disposed to endorse at the state CON
vention President Taft's administra.
