Get Good Rains

Good rains fell last Saturday and
covered good scope of country. 1t
rained an inch at Chamberlain, Puk-
wanna and Kimball, and fell to a half
inch at Plankinton and Mt Vernon and
20 of an inch at Mitchell. 1t rained
quite heavily for thirty minutes north
of Woonsocket, getting the greatest
volume, where two inches is reported
to have fallen, which extended a little
farther northeast and west, although
not in such large quantities.
This is the second rain which mas
fallen in the vicinity of Mitchell since
Friday. In the sections covered by the
rains the crops have been doing quite
well under the adverse circumstances,
and with this rain will be vastly
improved. Oats, which have been on
the ragged edge, will pick up to a
marked extent, and corn and wheat will
be greatly benefited.
The heat has ranged from 81 to 80
degrees, with hot winds, and it will
take some moisture to counterfeit the
injury. Local rains and cooler weather
for the past twenty-four hours in Brule
and Lyman counties will save the corn
and improve conditions generally.
Potato crop conditions are favorable.

toned the possibility of Congressman
Charles II. Burke entering the fight
next year for election to the United
States senate from South Dakota. Con-
gresham Burke passed through Sioux
Falls on his way from Washington to
his home at Pierre, where he will
remain for a short time and then return
to washington.
Asked if he was candidate for the
republican nomination for United States
senator, Congressman Burke stated
that Immediately after his election last
November he went to Washington and
has since been attending to his duties
as congressman, and has given the
matter of politics very little attention.
He admitted, however, that he had
received many letters from South
Dakota urging him to enter the race
and giving assurances of support.

GNpsies and Death.

The custom of placing the property
Of the dead in their graves has always
been followed by the true Romany
gypsies. II is due to some old tradi-
ton of Ill luck attending the possession
Of an article whose former owner Is
gone, and much valuable property is
buried in this belief. There is also a
sentiment among gypsies against the
possession of anything that has be-
Ionged to a dead person. because 1t
serves to remind the living Of the de-
parted and inspire in them dread OF
death The custom Of burying their
property With gypsy dead dates from
the earliest history Of the Romany

the applications Of twelve men were
filed with the county auditor to have
their bonds approved. Two of the

bonds and for the moment it appeared
that the proposition would be lost. On
the ballot, however, three voted for
the approval Of the bonds, and the dry
season as far as the saloons were con-
cerned did not take place. Mitchell
