Dean Sterling's Speech

Thomas Sterling, who aspires to a
seat in the United States senate as the
successor of Robert j.. Gamble, spoke
in the opera house in this city last Fri
day evening. The graduates of the
university, who are located here, and
judicious advertising got for the dean
a very good audience and they listened
to him attentively. The gentleman is
putting up a very fine Fourth of July
Grafton and promises if he is successful
in his ambitions the day will continue
to be celebrated. Now that he has
been smoked out by Smooth John
Sutherland, of Pierre, and compelled to
declare himself for LaFollette against
his own best judgment and the associ-
atoms of years--he is trying to deliver
the goods by making a public attempt
at a roast upon the Taft ADMINISTRATION.
His speech made him no votes in this
locality on the contrary he exposed his
own weakness for the position for
which he seeks and caused the friends
of his former days to look upon his
present ~predicament with sorrow. He
could have done better.

BOTH HANDS INJURED
BOY FINDS DYNAMITE CAP

INVESTIGATES IS INJURED
Einar, Ten Year-Old Son of MIR.

trict, the Victim Last
Tuesday Morning

Last Tuesday morning while on his
way to school, EInar Hogberg picked
up what he supposed was 22 calibre
blank cartridge. He took it to school
with him and proceeded to make an
investigation by picking it to pieces.
While the boy was engaged n his
work there was a deafening report and
his playmates discovered he vas quite
seriously wounded. He was placed in
charge of a neighbor and started for
DR.. P. d. 'Peabody's Office and his
father, who had arrived on the scene
decided to get his mother to bring to
town. He placed his little girl and a
neighbors' little boy in the buggy and
started for the home farm. He evil
IDENTIFY got in too big a hurry for the
team ran away. He and the boy were
spilled out of the buggy early in the
game but the little girl was left in
while the team took a fierce run out of
the road and along the fence until they
lildIly DtOhC IOOSS IiOni Tic pdSSy oho
tipped it over throwing the little girl
out. Fortunately none of three were
injured. Mr.. Hogberg finally caught
the team and upon righting the buggy
up it was found in such condition as to
permit a trip to town and it vas made
without further delay.
DR.. Peabody found that the boy had
met with frightful injuries to his hands.
The thumb on the left hand was badly
mangled but an effort will be made to
save it. 1t was found necessary on
the first two fingers on the left hand
to amputate them at the second joint.
The first two fingers on the right hand
are also in bad shape but the doctor
will try to save then. The little boy
is 10Y in the city hospital where he is
doing nicely.
Adults should be very caIeful about
throwing dynamite caps away and
children should all be taught not to
attempt to pick any kind of a cartridge
to pieces for any and all of them are
dangerous.

Win Teach Teachers

In the list of instructors selected by
the department of education at Pierre
to conduct Institutes for this year we
notice the name Of Superintendent w.
A. Thompson. of the Clark schools
formerly of this city. The department
is making no mistake as Superinten-
dent Thompson stands away in the
front rank of the educators of the
state and can make good anywhere.
1t was due to his efforts and ability
that the Webster schools were put
upon such a plane Of efficiency that
they made the accredited list along
with the schools of the larger cities of
the state. He has hosts of friends
here who will never tire of hearing
that he is doing well.

Serious Eye Injuries

Last Sunday afternoon a serious
accident occurred to Matthew Black
who is employed at the round house.
1t seems he had just put in a water
glass in place in the engine, and was
heaving coal into the firebox, when the
water glass blew out, cutting one of
his eyes in a terrible manner and seri-
Cusly injuring the other. Matthew
was taken to a Minneapolis hospital
the following morning. Last evening
his father received a dispatch from the
hospital stating that ore of the eyes
would have to be removed. Mr.. Black
left for Minneapolis the same evening.

and on account of the early fall, the
corn fodder is never sufficiently cured
so it will keep in a stack, and about
the only way to take care of it, with
out a silo, is to put it up in good shocks
in the field and haul it as used, but
this method is unsatisfactory in years
with a heavy snow fall.
The silo overcomes these difficulties
as the corn makes good silage even if
frozen and if the right amount of
moisture is properly supplied it elimi-
mates the task OF hauling the corn in
during the cold stormy winter weather,
and the di~sagreeable part of handling
manure with frozen cornstocks mixed
in it and last, but not least, it furnishes
succulent feed for mich cows, %insuring
a greater flow of milk during The part
of the year that dairy products bring
the best price, and keeps the young
sock in a healthy growing condition.
The above has been my experience
WIN corn, Sllo anu SlldSe, anu III my
opinion, the growing of corr is n of
the most profitable crops on tie farm.
With proper cultivation it eradicates
the weeks and conserves the moisture
in the land; it increases the stock
growing capacity of the farm, and the
amount as well as the quality of the
fertilizer, and the sooner the farmers
are convinced of this fact the sooner
they will be on the road to prosperity.

Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of the 22nd
will say, that l began to raise corr and
agitated the growing of corn in this
community several years ago, loaned
my corn tools to neighbors and sold
corn machinery, to begin with, at cost,
in order to get them started. Now
there is hardly a farmer in this vicinity
who does not raise some corn, and
most of them large fields, and this part
of my implement trade has developed
from a few common hand planters and
one horse cultivators, to several check
row planters and corn binders, as well
as thirty riding ~cultivators last season.
Last year was the poorest corr year
that we have ever had in this locality
on accoun Of continued drouth during
the best part of the corn growing sea-
son, as well as early frosts; still there
was a good deal of corn fodder grown,
ana from the sentiment or the
l know that the acreage in corn will
be materially increased next year, and
! also know of several who will build
silos.
/ built a l65 ton silo three years ago
and would not think of raising stock,
especially keeping milch cows without
it. This year the corn was badly
frozen, and the leaves dried up, bat l
supplied the dampness by running
water into the ensilage cutter through
a hose while cutting the corn, and l
cannot see any differei &c in the silage,
it is quite green, sweet and greatly
relished by all the stock.
Our worst draw back in raising corn.
in this northern country, is early frost,

School Notes

The chemistry class has commenced
the study of the aluminium family
which is composed of the elements,
aluminium, gallium, indium and thall-
ium, the last three being very rare.
Orlando Chilson gave a thesis Monday
on silicon, tatanium and boron. 1t was
an excellent thesis and much appreci-
ated by the class.
The botany class is studying the
division of botany known as plant
Geology. This treats of the relation of
plants to the conditions around them.
Some plants adopt the p~aracitic or
s~aprophytis mode of life. living on
other plants, while others hay taken
to capturing insects and absolving the
digested products.
George Edward Marker, Dean of the
School of Education, Dakota Wesleyan
university visited the high school Mon
day afternoon and gave the Seniors a
talk after school.
Friday of this week will be Patrons
Day when a number of visitors are
expected to visit the school. Light
refreshments will be served and the
public is invited. The visitors will
enter, remain in, and leave the several
rooms without ceremony. Knocking at
the door would cause the teachers to
leave their ~recitations to attend the
door, so let the visitors enter without
knocking. Visitors will find that there
will be but few seats at their disposal,
let them move freely to the several
rooms. 1t is the desire of the school
not to block the isles for the Are drill
and not to offer any inducement to
remain in any one room too long as it
is desirable that the visitors see the
entire school. A free program will be
rendered in the evening to which the
public also are cordially invited. The

La Toilette to RepIy Later.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 2.-Senator La
Toilette refused to make any state
ment regarding the testimony Of Il. Fl
Hooker that Charles II. Crane contrib
uted $4,000 to the campaign of Sena-
tor La Toilette while the latter was
quoted as saying that 1t was only $50.
600. La Toilette said that Crane would
doubtless be called as a witness. and il
would be improper for him to make
any comment on Hooker's testimony at
this time.
La Toilette. however, told a friend
that Hooker must be mistaken. as the
total contributions of Crane to the LII
Toilette campaign fund, which started
at S 5000 a month and later was cut to
$4,000. did not total ove $4,000. 1t Is
understood that $4,000 represented
the total amount contributed to the La
Toilette fund by all contributors. La
Toilette said that any comment that he
might make on the subject would be
made in his magazine or in some other
formal manner.

7. R. IS AFTER
TOBACCO TRUST
Wants Receiver Appointed
for the Big Concern.

Raleigh, N. O., Oct. 2.-North Caro-
lima furnished a climax to the Swing
around the circle which Colonel
Roosevelt finished here. Both In the
character of his reception and in his
proposal for a receiver for the tobacco
trust made before 1000 men and wo-
men In the Raleigh auditorium the
colonel's visit to this state has greatly
pleased hts supporters. This is what
the colonel said:
"Our opponents have nothing to offer
about the trusts except what has been
done, with some slight modification Of
details. No modification of detail would
make the decree against the tobacco
trust amount to anything. My proposal
Is not to do damage to business, but to
stop and punish the crookedly managed
business. Such a showing as set out by
the supreme court decree In the tobacco
cast would warrant the appointment Of
a receiver by the government for that
trust, just as would be done In the case
of national banks which went crooked.
"The government should at once put
the trust into the hands of d receiver.
who would run the organization until
everything decided to be wrong had
been set right and the receiver reported
to the corporation commission that ev-
cry objection had been remedied. Then.
and not until then, should the wne
ONE back. and If they repeated the
wrong they should suffer the same
thing over again"
The idea of a receiver for the tobacco
trust came with novel force to the peo-
pie here, and they manifested their APP
prevail Of 1t by emphatic applause.

KEEPS QUIET
No Comment on Story of
His Alleged Son.

New York, Oct. 2.-Gen. Daniel
E. Sickles refused yesterday to COM
ment on the story that Alfred Sum-
mers Molyneaux, an employee of the
Lackawanna railroad, believes the
General to be his father, by the first
Mrs. Sickles, When an effort was
made to obtain a statement from him
he sent word that he had nothing to
say. Neither would Miss Eleanor
Wilmerding, his nousekeeper, who
frequently speaks for him, discuss
the matter.
Mr.. Molyneaux, as told, was found
when an infant in a carpet bag on a
train at South Amboy, N. j., Sept.
10, 1858, a few months before Gen.
Sickles killed Philip Barton Key for
an alleged aiaso with his wife, and
was brought up by Henry and Betesy
M~olyneaux of Jersey City. In 1891
he was induced, he says. to sign pa
pers in the office of Frederick w.
Payne, a pawnbroker, whom he then
supposed to be his uncle. He was
not permitted to see what he had
signed.
Mr.. Molyneaux last night at his
home, No. 665 Grove street. Jersey
City, emphatically denied that these
papers were receipts for money re-
ceived from the estate of his foster
mother, as alleged by Mr.. Payne to a
World reporter on Sunday.
