FIne Rain il south Dakota.

Aberdeen. S. D., April 16.--Over six
inches of rain has fallen in South
Dakota within the past forty-eight
hours, and the soil is thoroughly wet
down to a great depth. The soil came
through the winter in splendid condi-
ton, owing to the heavy SHOWS, and
farmers had made excellent progress
with their seeding. the season being
well along in that respect when the
first heavy raia of the spring came.
The rains will put the sown grain in
good shape for a rapid growth, and
the land yet to be sown viii be in good
condition for crops as soon as it can
be worked. Old timers in northern
South Dakota say they neve saw a
more propitious season so far this
year and predict heavy yields this
year.

NICE PIPE DREAM FROM THE
CAPITAL CITY REGARDING a
COMPROMISE IN REPUBLICAN
cIRcLEs-soME OF THE MEN
MENTIONED FOR PLACES.

The Minneapolis Journal has the
following correspondence under u
Bismarck date:
The Reputation Of Theodore Roose-
velt's candidacy for presidential nomi-
nation is not the only surprising thing
North Dakota is likely to do this year.
North Dakota is an agricultural state
and the voters are not swayed by big
corporations, manufacturers, mining
companies and the like. They cannot
be stantpeded by a cry that the fac
tories and mines will close down if
they do not support some particular
candidate, n they generally think
twice before exercising their franchise.
North Dakota is normally about
10000 republican; yet for six years
John Burke, a democrat, has been
elected governor. 1t is the indepen-
Gence of the North Dakota voter that
has turned the trick. The March pri-
maries told the same story of indepen-
dence; North Dakota will not stand
for party Or clique dictation.
While it is generally conceded that
North Dakota is progressive, there is
no telling what the result Of the June
primaries win be. Buchanan, the pro-
gressive candidate for governor, does
not seem to arouse any enthusiasm.
On the other hand, Congressman Han
ma is not by any mean the choice of
the stalwart wing of the party, being
rather his own choice for governor by
reason of the fact that he cannot hope
TO return to congress from the first
district as against Helgesen.
Compromise Ticket Proposed.
There is more general dissatisfaction
in the republican party in North Da-
kota today than there has ever been.

Stole camera.

Bismarck, N. D.. April 16.-When
the picture making craze seizes upon
ia person there is no telling to what
lengths the fever Will run. There is
evidently one camera fiend who has
become a veritable k~leptomaniac. Fin
t.ey's drugstore was broken into late
Sunday night or early Sunday norm
ing by some sneak thief who was evi-
oently familiar with the premises. He
took a brand new Kodak which has
just been received Saturday, and be-
fore leaving the store helped himself
to the loose change in the till, which
amounted to about SIS. Entrance was
erected through a basement window.
There is at present no clue to the
identity Of the robber.
