For Better Roads

The good roads move in the counties
covered by the government forest
in the western half of the
state will get assistance through a
provision of the agricultural appropri-
alton bill passed at the last session of
congress. This provision gives to such
counties, ten per cent of the receipts
from the forest reserves, for road
building in the territory covered. This
is in addition to the fund which has
been coming for several years, in
which five per cent of the receipts are
turned over to the counties to be
divided between the road and school
funds. There is already $4,3 26 avail
able in the new fund, and the governors
Office has been notified that it will be
forwarded. 1t is suggested that this
fund be used to help along road pro-
jects already under way, and being
worked, instead of being scattered
about generally as such a method will
better results, than by attempt
ing to scatter the fund in small
amounts generally over the counties.

An Experts Opinion

George M. Lecount, grain expert for
Finley, Darrell & Co., summarizes the
crop condition as follows:
Shock threshing in South Dakota is
nearing completion and farmers soon
will begin threshing from stacks. The
corn crop rapidly is approaching matur-
ity, and it is believed in the state that
a new record will be set in this crop.
Late threshing returns bear out the
early statements regarding the bumper
crop of all small grain. Yields averaged
from various sections surrounding Sioux
Falls indicate ar average Of close to
twenty-five bushels for blue stem wheat
with many yields running around thirty
five bushels. Many yields of oats run
above rinety bushels, with the average
close to seventy. Velvet chat wheat is
not doing so well as the blue stem. 1t
averages at from eighteen up TO twenty
bushels. Winter wheat runs from twelve
to eighteen bushels. Barley is thresh-
ing out from thirty-fve to forty bushels.

Several days ago they were turned
over by United States District Attor
ney Wagner to Mr.. Burton, attorney
for the defense, and a receipt given,
the understanding being that they
were TO be returned after being
examined by certain persons. During
the trial, the district attorney
requested that the checks be returned
and was informed by Mr.. Burton that
they had been given to Hewlett and
were in his possession.
A heated argument followed and the
district attorney took the witness
stand to testify to the facts attending
the receipt of the checks by the
defendants attorney. Later the
defense announced that its client had
the checks in his pocket and intended
to keep them. Judge j. d. Elliott
ruled that the court had authority to
direct the return of the checks to the
government.
The defense justifes its action on
the ground that the government had
previously been guilty of a breach Of
confidence in connection with the case.
1t alleges that in May, when the indict-
ments were found against the Fall
brothers. Hewlett had appeared before
the grand jury as a witness and had
been promised immunity from prose
cution. Later this promise was
ignored and an indictment returned
against him.
The first Indictment against Hewlett
was quashed by Judge Elliott, on the
ground that he had been indicted by
the same jury before which he had
appeared as a witness. A second
indictment, charging the same otfense
was returned by a subsequent grand
jury and the court allowed it to stand.

The State Fair

The most successful exposition in the
history of the South Dakota state fail
board closed last week. The city was
thronged with visitors and Huron PEG,
pie were put to the test for accommo-
dations for their guests. Private
residents were thrown open and the
great throng was well housed.
The aggregate attendance is esti-
mated at lbs, 900, the greatest crowd
was on Wednesday, when over 40, 600
people passed the gates. No serious
accidents occurred, and the crowd was
orderly and jolly.
The exhibits were better and larger
in every department than ever before.
OF cattle and horses the entries showed
many of the best in the country, and
embraced all breeds. The showing of
hogs was exceptionally large, while
that of sheep was equal to that of last
year. In agricultural and farm pro-
ducts the exhibits were real marvellous.
There were twenty.seven individual
county exhibits Of fruits, vegetables
and small grains; the alfalfa exhibits
in almost every county were object
lessons, and with the daily explanations
and schools of instruction conducted by
experts were especially helpful to the
farmers.
A surprise was in store for all who
risited the horticultural department,
where fruits and flowers from all parts
Of the state were shown. The exhibits
from the Black Hills were especially
attractive, and Lawrence county was
awarded the sweepstakes prize for
fruits.
Brookings county for the second time
received first award for the best county
exhibit; Minnehaha was given second.
The Beadle county exhibit was the
largest, but because of being the
home" county of the fair did not
compete for county prizes. The min
eral exhibit shows under the direction
Of the Deadwood business mems club
and in personal charge of Messrs.
Jackson and Troth, of Deadwood,
attracted much attention. 1t is said
to be the finest collection in the United
States, and contains specimens of gold
silver, mica, tin, etc. Two assay
furnaces were in operation to demon
strate to visitors the process of remoV-
ing gold and silver from quartz. A
gold brick weighing something over
100 ounces, and valued at 81, 500 was
handed to visitors to examine. The
collection was valued at $780, 900 and
was guarded night and day.

WAKING the EvanueIists,

An English clergyman visiting this
country tells of a bishop in England
who when a new church in his diocese
was to be consecrated received many
letters complaining that the architect
had disfigured the interior with use
less decoration.
The bishop decided to make an in,
spection of the new building, and &C.
cordingly summoned the architect to
meet him there.
The bishop could find nothing wrong
until just as he reached the chancel
he CHANGED to catch sight Of four wood,
en- images apparently guarding the pull
pit.
"What do those figures represent
he asked.
"The four evangelists."
"They appear to be asleep"
"Do you think SOP
81 certainly do"
Whereupon the architect called out
to a man who was at work on one OF
the pews:
Henry, bring your chisel and oper
the eyes Of the evangelists."-Lippin

boy in Scotland he dropped int" II
church one Sunday morning and was
put by himself in a pew directly in
front of the minister, who preached IA
sermon on the text Am my brothers

The parson. who was unusually elo-

forty minutes and finally worked up TO
the climax of his remarks. He kept
his gaze fixed directly on the little Lip

Aberdeen Housewives KICK

A news item in a WATERFOWL paper
relative to the price of fruit and vege-
tables on the WATERFOWL market led
an Aberdeen newspaper to consult
local grocers aud compare their prices
on the same products, with those pre-
valent at Watertown. The result was
astonishing to Aberdeen housewives
and may lead to a crusade for lower
prices. With two or three exceptions
Aberdeen consumers found their
grocers We're charging them from rs
to so per cent more than Watertown
residents have to pay for the same
class of commodities. TIE prices
varied, somewhat, and did not indicate
a combine on the part of grocers, but
nevertheless in nearly every instance
prices were higher. Four grocers
were asked for prices and the schedules
were compiled from their answers.
One grocer, who charged so cents a
peck for wild plums, and 95 cents a
half bushel, where other grocers were
charging but so cents a peck or 81
cents a half 'bushel, was asked the
reason for the apparent discrimination
against the customer who wanted but
a peck of plums, and replied: "0f
more of them buy by the peck"

Hunting at Sissston

Edw ard Cuffe, of Ellington, was
arrested and fined Friday for hunting
without a license. This is the first
conviction for violation of the game
laws in that county this season. Nearly
1000 licenses were issued in Roberts
county to hunt game fowls this year,
and on the first day of the season there
were few men who had been initiated
into the art of handling a gun who
were not in the field after the prairie
chicken or at the neighboring lakes in
quest of the wild ducks. Some excel
lent bags of game are reported, includ-
ing that of the party composed of
Chas. L. Hyde, ST., and Chas. l.. Hyde
Jr., of Pierre, Thad L. Fuller, of Mil
bank, and Arthur Olson and Game
Warden Swanson, OF Sisseton, who
brought home over 200 ducks and
about 20 chickens from a two day s
hunt at Dry Run Pass, northeast OF

The GaIIows Plant.

During the middle ages the botanists,
or old "herbalists," gave currency to
many curious stories concerning the
growth, form, etc, of the mandrake or
May apple, which finally resulted in Its
being given the name of "gallows
plant" The pseudo scientists Of that
time declared that mandrakes would
grow in no other place except upon
which some terrible crime had been
committed. The roots were formerly
supposed to bear a strong resemblance
to the human form.

The ceiling of the north vestibule on

for a time, and the sparrows flew in,
and in trying to escape, beat their
heads against the ceiling so that they
bled, and in some cases the poor little
things were killed. The others must
have suffered seriously, and the ceiling
will have certainly have to be retinted.
