THE Wolf" one of the big dram.
attic successes of the year, comes to
the Miller Opera House, Thursday,
Sept. 26th. This play, by Eugene
Walter, just now famous as the
youngest American playwright, has
been running all summer in New
York and Chicago, and there already
are several companies entour pre-
senting THE Wolf" but this city is
to be complimented by the manage
ment. who are sending here the or.

a narrative of life, love and revenge
among the early settlers of the
great Canadian Northwest, and in
dealing with these characters who
live very close to nature, Mr. Walter
has provided a romance which holds
his audience spellbound from the
opening act to the finale.

HORSE DISEASE
In SOUTH OAK.
Forty-Twe Horses Dead I'm Bon
Homme Co.

Tyndall. S. D., Sept. 49, During
the past three days horses in Bor
Homme county have become infect
ed with apparently the some plague
which is killing horses in Kansas
and Nebraska.
About forty-two horses near
here are known to have died. More
are now suffering from the disease.
The authorities have notified State
Veterinarian Hicks, who has replied
that he will come to Tindall with all
possible haste. The authorities in
Washington have also been request
ed to send a government man here.
The following bulletin of precau-
lions has been issued by the govern
ment bureau of animal husbandry:
"All horses and mules should be
removed from pastures and placed
in barns or dry lots which are en-
tirely free from vegetation.
Last years, or an early cutting
of this years hay should be fed.
odd grains should be used in
preference to new or recently thres-
he'd grain.
Add a small amount of haxseed
meal to the feed morning and night
and continue until a laxative effect
is produced.
Water with a bucket directly
from a well.
Where tanks must be used scrub
and rince the water tanks thorough
ly, When dry give a coat of lime
whitewash. Wash the tanks every
week as long as the disease exists in
the neighborhood.
When once the disease attacks an
animal the power of swallowing is
more or less impaired, and owners
should exercise due caution in ad-
ministering any medicine in the
form of a drench. So for medicinal
treatment is unsatisfactory.
I'm the light of present informa,
ton more good can be accomplished
along the line of prevention"

Thus we thought as we stepped off

We spent a month in Chicago. and
while there visited at the home Of
Rev. A. C. Mores, who twenty years
ago married Miss Julia Kellogg, who
taught school in Miller several years.
Mr. Mores is a successful pastor at

places than South Dakota. 1t is
needless to say that the eleven year
old grand daughter that went with
us, was greatly IN love with the
trees, especially those that had little
red squirrels frisking among the
branches. and surely South Dakota
children are deprived of many things
that make life pleasant.
We note a few changes in town,

100000 PEOPLE
AT STATE FAIR
Largest Crowd Ever Gathered i'm
State

That the State Fair is located in
the right place was readily proven
last week when about 100. 900 people
visited the fair az Huron.
This state institution has grown
continuously since the fair was re-
moved from Yankton to Huron in
1905. At the present time it is per-
haps a better thing for the city than
the state capital would be. because
this 100. 900 visitors probably left a
half million or more dollars IN Huron
during the week.
Hundreds of people from Hand
county attended the fair, by train
or by auto, one or more days during
the week, and on Wednesday, the
big day. Hand county badges
were in evidence everywhere.
The exhibits of all kinds were
considered the largest and best ever
seen at a South Dakota fair. Farm
products filed the agricultural hall
from about twenty counties, among
them Hand county. The local ex-
hibit was a good one, and attracted
attention, especially by its corn dis
play. MANY thought Hand had the
largest and best display of corn on
the ground. The exhibit was in
charge of Mr. Jack Wilson. The
awards for county exhibits were
Brookings first, Minnehaha second,
clark third.
The machinery people made a very
large exhibit. particularly IN the line
of gas engines, plows, etc. Big and
little engines were there. showing
how almost any farm work could be
done by such power.
The horticulture, the dairy, the
poultry, the live stock exhibits were
large and fine, equal to any state
fair in the west.
The amusements were not all
extra good. For instance. the horse
racing was not equal to the races
held in Miller at the Corn Belt meet.
The vaudeville attractions before
grand stand were excellent. but the
Midway Street was not creditable
to a great state fair.
Two bird men entertained the
crowds with daily flights in a BIZ
plane. A third flyer arrived later
in the week and made one or two
exhibitions. He was w. G. Robin
son, who was injured at the Mime
sofa state fair. Huron papers
claim that Robinson is a Hand coun-
ty boy, having been a resident of
Northeast Hand county for several
years.
A number of notable people were
present ard made speeches, among
them being Gov. Hiram Johnson. of
California. Bull Moose candidate
for Vice President, Secy. of Agri-
culture James Wilson. and Gov.
Wesley.
1t was a great fair, well worth
ones time and money to attend.
