MILWAUKEE'S INSPECTION
SHOWS CROP TO BE PRIME

Mitchell. S. D., Aug. 22-The corn
crop in this section OF the state has
made rapid strides toward develop
ment in the past 10 days, taking the
moisture and the favorable weather
into consideration. Various parties
have been inspecting the corn fields Of
late, and among them was j. II. TAFT,
Of Mason City. Ia, the freight traffic
agent for the milwaukee, company. Mr..
TAFT Travelled over the line Of the COM
pany between Mitchell and Chamber
lain, stopping at each station and driv-
ing into the country to make a personal
inspection of the corn fields and to talk
with the farmers. In this strip of
country he found corn conditions Of an
ideal character, and made the state
ment that corn in that section would
make an average yield of 40 bushels
per acre, and he declared that ii was
a very conservative statement at that.
Mr.. TAFT is going into other sections of
the Milwaukee roads territory to as
certain the conditions. In this county
the wheat crop il making a better
showing on yield than was anticipated
before the threshing season began. The
much greater majority reports that
are received from the threshing ma
chimes show that wheat is averaging
from 10 TO 16 bushels per acre. While
there are cases where wheat is run
ming much below these figures. yet
they are very few in comparison to the
greater number.

PETITIONS FOR RECALL.
ARE FILED IN SEATTLE

Seattle, Wash, Aug 19.-Recall petit
tons against Mayor George W. Dilling
and Courcilmen Max Wardall E. L..
Blaine and j. Y. c. Kellogg were filed
yesterday.
The movement for the recall of
Mayor Dilling had its inception in the
mayors refusal to discharge Chief
Taller John Corbett against whom
charges of cruelty to prisoners had
been made. Corbett was Investigated
by the grand jury and exonerated.
Mayor Dilling was elected last fall at
the recall election at which Mayor
Hiram G. Gill was removed from office.
The recall against the councilmen is
based on their alleged failure to carry
out campaign pledges regarding street
railway legislation. The councilmen
took prominent part in the antivice
crusade last year that resulted in the
conviction of former Chief OF Police
Wappenstein.
1t is rumored former Mayor Gill will
be asked to run against the man who
unseated him.

The dog days" are so called because
the Greeks on first beholding the Star
Sirius with the naked eye were wont
to sacrifice a brown dog to appease his
wrath, the general belief being that
Sirius was the cause of the hot, sultry
weather usually attendant upon Its APP
pearance and that on the first morning
OF its rising the sea boiled, wine turned
sour, dogs grew mad and man became
afflicted with all manner OF burning
fevers, Mysteries and frenzies. At
Argos festival was held during the
dog days, known as Cynophantes, which
means that dogs were killed on sight.
