YANkTON COUNTY CROPS
ALL SHOWING UP WELL

Yankton. S. D., Aug. 10.-AIl anxiety
as to this years crops have disappeared
with the threshing returns OF the PAST
week. In spite Of drought and
unfavorable weather Yankton county
is showing up excellently, better In
fact than last year. when 1t was TOO
wet. Numerous returns from all parts
of the county show oats this year OF
exceptional quality, although rather
shy as to quantity. A few helds go
as low as Is bushels an acre, but even
these are very good oats. Many fields
go 35 bushels per acre and this fgure
Is about the average. Wheat is q sur
prising crop this year, better than for
six years past, threshing figures giving
yields from Is to 22 bushels per acre.
whereas the average for the county is
seldom over IL bushels. The quality is
fine and many farmers are grading In
mo. 1" for the first time in their lives.
All over the country the h yield
is exceptionally good n 1t is at
tributed very largely to the ideal wea-
ther for wheat. the absence OF rust,
owing to the absence of heavy rains
and scorching suns during the matur-
ing period. Rye, barley and flax are
so little raised locally as to be unworthy
of comment, beyond the fact that they
are all good crops this year.

family residence in this city occurred
the death of j. II. Cramer, for years o
resident of Sioux Falls, after an illness

become aware that he had a consider
able sum in cash in his possession
when the train left South Dakota and
entered North Dakota Cramer went Il
sleep in his seat in the coach. ,
How long he slept Is unknown, bu'
when he awoke there VAS a peculiar
taste in his mouth. nat is the las'
he remembered until he finally CANT
back to consciousness and found him
self lying beside the railroad track
badly bruised and shaken up.
Cramer finally managed to reach his
home in Sioux Falls, but never fully
regained his senses. During intervals
he would be himself, and at such times
he would strive to tell of efforts made
to relieve him Of his money and throw
him from the moving train. But ne
never was able to tell a complete. Of
connected story.
When he returned to Sioux Falls the
money he took away with him was
intact, and this Is n of The peculiar
features of the mysterious case.

That a finer climate once prevailed

That a finer climate once prevailed
IN England has at last been proved.
They have unearthed archaeological
evidence OF It. When the Romans did
Britain the honor Of living In England
they seem then to have enjoyed the
better weather. For Mr.. Clement Reid
assures us that the fig and grape
seeds which he has dug put Of Roman
~0ustheaps as Silchester, Caerwent, n
Pevensky were the offspring OF hg
trees and vines that grew on English
soil. OF the plants introduced by the
Romans these ancient dustheaps reveal
the pea, the bean, the mulberry, the
APPLE h cherry; but the peach. the
apricot, and the almond seeds are all
missing. The fact that all the fruits
and spices found are only such as
could be grown in Britain now seems
to show that the Romans were not i'm
porters of fruit in the dried state, and
that the mulberry seeds represent a
native growth.
