There was an old weather prognosti-
Gator in our sanctum last night, and he
told man with the quill that we have
every indication of a heavy rainfall in
the country this spring. He lives neal
Wheeler, and says he CLEANS his au-
thority from the actions Of the little
prairie dogs, and has noticed that pecu-
liarity of theirs for nigh on to forty
years. He says they have already got
a whole lot Of dirt banked up around
the top of their burrows to keep the
water from running in. as they and the
little owl hibernate together, and don't
like wet beds. Last year, he said,
they never moved the soil q bit. and he
then predicted q dry year, and we sure
had it.-Platte Enterprise.
Auctioneer Nipple of Wagner was
in Tuesday and made this Office a pleas
ant call. During his conversation he
mentioned the piece WI copied from
The Dakota Republican last week in
regard to the number of sales held in
the county this spring. and did not quite
agree with that papers version. He
states that he cried six sales last week,
half of them for bachelors who were
compelled to quit the farm owing to
the lack of housekeepers. Now, he
says he does not wish to run himself out
of bus mess, but any of the fair sex
who are on the lookout for good hus-
bands would do well to drop him a line
the fee will be small.-Lake Andes

The South Dakota legislature has
been dealing with the newspapers this
session as they would almost any other
vice. The have been giving them a.
rap whenever the opportunity afford
ed. They have withdrawn every pa
tronage that it was possible for them
to Withdraw. 1t will stand the
newspaper profession of the state in
hani to be more careful ia giving
their support to men for legislative po-
sitions vino repay the m for their gen.
rou support by going to Pierre ard
voting against their interests at every
opportunity. Newspapers do rot need
the regulation that railroads and in
surance companies do. though from the
action of the legislature they are more
to be feared than my Of the public
utilities of the state. -Yankton Press
