Don't Plant CataIpa Trees.

From many letters received by the
secretary of the South Dakota Horti-
cultural Society, it appears that certain
agents from outside the state are now
selling large numbers of Hardy Cat
alpa" trees. The Hardy Catalpa" is
beautiful tree of rapid growth, a
native of southern Illinois and Indiana
to Louisiana and Mississippi. In south
ern Iowa, Kansas and other southern
states the timber is found to be exceed
ingly durable for fence posts, but the
southern origin of the catalpa does not
fit it for Dakota prairies and it should
not be planted anywhere in South
Dakota with the exception of good
results as timber tree. 1t has been
tried in many places in the state but
the general experience is very unfavor-
able. For purely ornamental purposes
tree or two in place where it may
come up in bush form when killed to
the ground, will not be amiss; but for
timber or for fence posts the South
Dakota farmer will save money by
burning the catalpa trees before he
plants them.

Rains Benefit the Crops.

Heavy rains throughout the state
during the past week have proven OF
untold benefit to crops of all kinds.
Previous to the rains it had become so
dry on the surface, of the ground that
much of the corn had not yet sprouted.
In fact farmers reported that many
kernels were as hard as when they put
them into the ground, the moisture in
the ground at the time not having been
sufficient to cause the kernels to swell
and sprout. The heavy rainfall during
the past few days will remedy all this
and crops now will grow rapidly and
make up for the time lost because of
the backward spring and early lack of
rain. 1t is safe to say that crops
throughout the state-this including
small grain as well as corn-never
were in better condition at this period
of the growing season.

Indian Wins Potato Prize.

Mr.. Redlightning, farmer on the
Yankton reservation, claims the first
prize for early potatoes raised in the
state. Last season Mr.. Redlightning
planted five rows comprising one-half
acre of Early Ohio potatoes. Last
fall he dug enough murphies from this
field for his own use during the winter
and left for seed one-half of the pota-
toes in each hill. In the early part of
the winter snowdrift formed over the
patch, keeping the potatoes from
freezing. and he is now enjoying new
potatoes from this same field, having
raised two successive crops from one
planting. Mr.. Redlightning is full
blood Yankton Sioux Indian.

Wesleyan U. Gets $4,000.

The short and strenuous campaign
instituted by DR.. Kerfoot, president of
Dakota Wesleyan university, to secure
the subscription of $4,000 from the
citizens of Mitchell for the extension
of the building of the Dakota Wesleyan
has ended. The campaign started ten
days ago and was carried on in the
most strenuous manner Dinners were
served every noon in the basement of
the Methodist church, where the
thirteen captains of the soliciting
teams met and gave their reports. At
the last meeting held the result was
announced. Instead of $780, 900 being
raised the total amount is nearly $780,
600. Five business men of the city
each gave $1,000 to the enterprise. and
the entire city was canvassed to secure
the rest. 1t wss the greatest money
raising campaign the university ever
conducted in the city, With this
amount raised the campaign will be
carried out over the state to bring the
amount up to $780, 900, and with this
accomplished $50, 900 will be given by
James j. Hill, of st. Paul, of the
Great Northern. Mr.. Hill has agreed
to give $40, 900 at once when $50, 1000
has been raised. With this $780,
two buildings will be constructed-one
a gymnasium and social hall, and the
other a science hall.

Farmer Has Close Call.

Jacob Wahl, a farmer living near
Alpena, barely escaped being cut tc
pieces with a disc. He went to his
field to SOW some flax, and while
standing in front of his horses they
becsme frightened and ran away,
knocking Mr.. Wall down and tramp
ling over his body. The disc passed
over his body. One ear was cut off,
his leg broken, and some fearful
gashes were cut in his legs. A heavy
sheepskin coat prevented the upper
part Of his body being cut much anc
possibly saved his life. He burroweC
his face in the ground and thus pre-,
vented it being cut.

Quick Work Saves Child.

Prompt action on the part of the
teacher and older pupils at the Kimbro
school in Stanley county, no doubt
saved the life Of the little daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Wood. While al
play she was bitten on the hand by a
rattlesnake. The teacher and older
pupils at once bound the arm tightly
above the wound, and applied loca
remedies. The child was fastened to g
physician. He found the emergency
precautions taken such that there was
little danger from the bite, and the
child will suffer but little inconvenience
from what might have been a fataj
wound.

Nomination Still in Doubt

Unofficial returns from all but eleven
counties show no change except on
state land commissioner. Brinker,
progressive is $50 in the lead. The
majority of counties yet to report are
presumed to be stalwart, but the vote
on state candidates was cast so errati-
cally that the figures yet to come are
as likely to give the nomination to
Foster, stalwart, as to Brinker.

manager of the Southern railway, with
headquarters at Washington, d. C.. and
will become vice president and SUPER

statement was sent out from New York
that Mr.. Ackert was slated as T. p.

Is Doubtless Better Position.
1t is taken for granted here that
Mr.. Ackert's new position with the
Hawley lines, while possibly not APP
pearing to be of the same Importance
as his connection with the Southern,
is a better position from a financial
viewpoint. If it We're not Mr.. Ackert
would not have accepted it, and rail-
road men of his caliber are not look
ing for positions.
RaiIroaded Twenty Seven Years.
Mr.. Ackert has been in the railroad
business since 1872, when he began as
a telegraph operator. He rose to be
general manager of the Central, and
from Nov. 1. 1888, until April L., 1898,
had his headquarters in this city. From
the latter date until April 1. 1899, Mr..
Ackert was general manager of the Ell
gin, Joliet & Eastern railroad, and was
then made president and general man.
ager of the E., J. & E. and Chicago,
Lake Shore & Eastern railways. A
few years ago he went to the South
ern.
Mr. Ackert's new position, will bring
him in closer touch With his old friends
on the Iowa Central, and they will be
glad to welcome him into closer bus
mess relations. -"> 80 r.
