1t was brought out in the alfalfa
meeting at Pierre last week that last
year Stanley county raised and sold
S44, 900 worth of alfalfa seed besides
the amount held for home use; that the
hay raised on the same ground was

parts of the state Many men along
the Missouri river who have made the
raising of this crop their main work
for several years are not only helping
to build up the country, but are making
good annual incomes for themselves by
the sale of alfalfa seed, that from the

bill on the same ground, did not vote.
He was absent from the house on

involve two of the most prominent
financial, social and church people of
the town of Kimball, promises to take
place in the approaching term of cir
cult court to be held in Aberdeen this

and banker of Kimball, and who is said
to be worth nearly 100000, and Mrs.
Nina Beebe of the same place, who is
reported to be the wife of one of the
state representatives. Through the

Left Her Children

Something of sensation has been
created in Aurora county by the
alleged elopement of Mrs. Nels Swan
son, until recently of Belvidere, Ill.,,
and young man named John Burns,
who followed the woman to South
Dakota from Belvidere. Mrs. Swan
son has a brother living in Aurora
county, and when she arrived there
about two months ago she was gladly
welcomed by her brother, whom she
informed that she had decided to no
longer live with her husband at Belvi-
dere, alleging that this was because
her husband indulged in liquor to an
excessive degree. Mrs. Swanson was
accompanied by her three small child
rem. Burns arrived in Aurora county
about the time she did, and soon made
his appearance at the home of the
woman's brother, who however, footed
him from the place. Now Mrs. Swan
son and Burns have departed for parts
unknown. They were last seen at
Mitchell, but did not tarry there very
long, doubtless fearing that officers
would be placed on their track. The
three children were deserted by the
mother, but will be cared for at the
home of her brother until the father
or other relatives make arrangements
for their care.

being observed and all the saloons
closing promptly at 9 o'clock, COM
mencing Saturday night. The city

thought among South Dakotans that
Elliott's name would be sent to the
senate in the near future, but recently

ton. What has brought about the
change in opinion cannot be learned,
and neither is there any indication of

thefts from Black Hills mining com
panies. About year ago officials of
the Homestake Mining company
detected leak in the handling of their
gold in the mills. Men were set to
watch it and when some youths
employed as millmen were found to be
spending more money than they
earned, they were followed and finally
taken to the office of the states attor-
ney, where they made written confess
sions of their guilt. The boys declared
they had sold the amalgam when they
took it from the plates in the mills to
the Deadwood jeweler, who was
promptly arrested and eleven different
charges placed against him. The
amount of amalgam traced according
to the officers, was in the neighbor-
hood of 200 pounds, which had been
stolen at intervals for several months.
AS this amalgam was valued at the
rate of about S75 pound, the loss
would be over $4,000. About three
years ago, after several fragrant cases
of stealing precipitates from the mills
had been detected and the guilty men
sent to the penitentiary; it was deter
mined to put stop to the practice by
more stingent laws, and bill was put
through the Legislature making it
necessary for all purchasers of such
material to keep record of the pur-
chase that would be at all times open
to inspection, Because Butler failed
to keep the record, he got into serious
trouble.
