GREAT PROGRESS IN DELTA CROP.

The following is what Mr.. r. S. Wilson, who
has charge of the demonstration work of the u. S..
Department of Agriculture in Mississippi and Ala
bama, has to say in regard to the progress of the
crops in the Delta during the past six weeks:
Last week was spent in the Delta. | visited
Greenville, Clarksdae, Rolling Fork and interme-
diate points. Great progress has been made by
the cotton crops in the Delta since my last visit six
weeks ago. At that time the prospect was far
from encouraging but now the most conservative
estimates place the crop in Washington, Sharky,
Yazoo and Coahoma counties at 80 per cent of
a normal yield.
THE Mexican cotton boil weevil has not as
yet done any considerable damage in the Delta ex-
cept in the southern portion of Sharky and Yazoo
counties and small section in the southwestern
part of Sharky county considerable numbers being
found on the 9Th just outside of the corporate lin
its of Rolling Fork. They have been found in the
last few days at Wilmot. Estill, and Arcoa in
Washington county. 1t is certain that Wash
ington county will be entirely covered before they
are checked by the frost At the last points men,
toned the infestaton too late this season to
seriously effect this years crop. However, it
shows what may be expected next year
The people of the Delta taking very
rational view of the situation and making the best
possible preparation for the fight. The corn crops
are fine and large areas will be planted in oats.

and to buy, at reasonable price, as fine line
of chrysanthemums, as there may be found in
America. The flower show always draws an i'm
mense crowd of visitors; and this years will prove
quite up to the mark in every way.
good list of premiums has been offered for
roses this year, and many are floVer lovers who
are already nursing pot plants with the hope of
winning at least one of the generous sums offered.
The floral clubs of the state, especially of
Crystal Springs and Hazlehurst, usually lead in
these superb displays; but it is hoped these ex-
perts will find few other clubs represented, as
clubs, this year; since the more the merrier'
for everybody; especially for the visitors.

not so pleasing to of his supporters who still

however is that the doughty Major is not competent

THRIVING TOWN OF MOTT
CELEBRATES RAILROAD COMING.

Bismarck, Oct. 12.-Mott, the
thriving little town just now at the
terminus of the south branch of the
Northern Pacific, is preparing to eel
citrate the completion of the road,
October IA, with barbecue, picnic,
public gathering of all citizens of
that section, and of the western part
of the state. Mott has been waiting
for several years for the road and
there is general rejoicing that its
connection with the world by rail
has been made. The Mott people be-
lieve that within few years they
will be on the main heavy freight
lines Of the Northern Pacific, which
will probably extend directly west
from Edgeley, In La Moure county,
cross the Missouri river about TWEEN
ty miles below Bismarck over $2.-
100000 bridge, and then connect
with the branch lines now under
construction. And the north branch
of the Northern Pacific is said also
to be alink in a road soon to be
built from Canada to the gulf, fol-
lowing the Missouri river down from
Williston. All of these reports open
vistas of vast possibility in the de
velopment of the state in the next
few years and stiffen up the price OF
farming lands.

CHILD LABOR PERIL THE
GREATEST FACING NATIONS
America Far Ahead of England In
Solving the Problem Says Mr..
Richard NewcOmb.

The question Of child labor has
been much discussed in this country,
and beyond any doubt the agitation
of the question has been a source of
infinite relief to many poor little
creatures who were made to slave
from their infancy. Their exposure
to the drudgery, close confinement
and the bearing of burdens beyond
their years was working a fearful
mental and physictl destruction up
on the youth of the country. Some
parents are SO cruel al to be willing
to make their children slaves to earn
money for them when these children
should be in the nursery. While all
the evils coming from child labor
have not been eradicated, immense
improvement has been made, and in
dustrial operators no longer wish to
be quoted as maintaining death-deal-
ing systems by employing children
Illegally, as an intense feeling of
aversion against those who practice
this inhumanity always follows the
discovery of those guilty of this
slow process of destroying human
life.
One can anticipate that at no far
distant day this stain upon Americas
promoters of industrial enterprises
will cease as when these men take
the time to investigate and give prop
er consideration to the matter they
discover that child employment is
really after all improbable.

ELMER STUMBAUCH FOUND
GUILTY At BELLE F0URCHE
After Deliberating "a Hours jury
Returns Verdict of Manslaugh-
ter in First Degree.

Word was received from Belle
Fourche this morning to the effect
that the jury in the case of the
States vs. Elmer A. Stumbaugh,
tried before Judge Rice for the kill
ing of Louis Arpan, on Indian creek,
some 20 miles north of Belle
Fourche, last summer while the two
were in dispute over a line fence.
returned a verdict of guilty of man
slaughter in the first degree. The
jury was out "a hours. This YER
dict will perhaps carry a sentence
of from Is to 20 years. Arpan, the
man killed, formerly lived at st.
Onge, while Stumbaugh, the man
who shot and killed him, has long
been a resident of the Indian creek
country and is an ex-cowbody and
the two had had much trouble. He
was defended by Judge Plowman of
this city. He was released on ST.
500 bail after the crime was commit

rendered to the sheriff.
The crime occurred when the two
were alone and had quarrel on the
line between the two places. Stun
baugh shot Arpan number OF
times and is alleged to have con-
tinued to shoot him after he had
fallen. and while Arpan was trying
to get his gun out. After the MUIR
der Stumbaugh left the dead man
on the prairie and went to nearby
ranch and surrendered to the sher-
III by telephone. Some weeks later a
brother of the dead man and two
friends chased Stumbaugh three
miles with winchester rifles, all rid
ing on horseback, and fired some
thirty shots at him in an attempt to
get his wishbone. They are revenge
full and perhaps a term Of years in

Starkville, Colo, Oct. 12.-Tws
hundred sightseers, returning from
the scene of the mine explosion, to
Trinidad last night on the Starkville
car line, narrowly escaped death
when the car left the rails at the
brink Of a twenty-foot arroyo near
Piedmont. A panic resulted when
the car bumped along on the ties,
and several persons jumped from
the steps and one leaped through a
window. When the car was stopped
the front trucks were standing on
the narrow trestle and had it gone
ten feet further it would have top
pied into the chasm.
