Horses Dying in Kansas

Topeka, Sept. 6.-More than 1000
horses have died in western Kansas
since the mysterious disease broke
out and it is estimated that the
whole loss is close to half a million
dollars.
The plague now has come as far
east as Riley county, and the officers
have established a quarantine pro-
hibiting the bringing of any horses
on the military reservations. Fort
Riley is wholly a cavalry and artil-
lery post, and there are more than
1900 horses and mules there.
The great mortality has created a
serious situatios. in western Kansas,
hundreds of farmers being left with
out animals to do the necessary farm
work. The farmers are afraid to
buy other animals fearing that they
would catch the disease and die and
crops r going u~nharvested and
very little blowing for spring wheat
is being done.

Harvesting I'm Black Hills

Deadwood, Aug. 28.-- Harvesting
of the 1912 crops in the Black Hills
always later than other sections of
the state, has commenced and as in.
Dictated the crops will break all re.
cords for this part of the country
A careful and very conservative es.
innate of the total crop output from
the Black Hills country this fall is
$4,000, 900, far in excess OF anything
heretofore.
Estimates of how the crops run
have been made by those familiar
with this work and are believed to
be approximately correct. There
will be about $50. 900 bushels OF
wheat, zoe, 900 bushels of oats, 2OO,-
900 bushels of corn. $4,000 ions of
alfalfa, $4,000 tons of native hay and
375. 900 bushels of potatoes, besides
a scattered crop of fax. barley,
speltz, clover, which are not estim-
ated, and an extraordinary produc-
ton of garden vegetables.

State School Census

Pierre Dakotan: The state land
commissioner is giving out the mum.
Der of children of school age in the
state on which basis the school funds
are apportioned.
There is a decrease of 2,243 pupils
shown in comparison with last year
the decrease being in thirty-two
counties. Twenty-seven show an
increase. but not sufficient to over
come the total. This decrease NAV
probably be attributed to the re-
moval from the state of agood many
people on account of last years
drought, butt is by no means con-
fined to the more newly settled por-
tions west of the river, but pretty
well scattered over the state, many
of the oldest settled counties show
ing a large falling off.
No alarm need be felt however by
the school teachers, lest the supply
should fail entirely. at least for
some time. as there are still 1870
children of school age in South Da-
kota, which would call for over
5000 teachers, supposing there were
but one to everv so children.
Minnehaha leads with 5000 pupils
Brown second with 6.782. Lawrence

Kansas Republican Eight

Washington. Aug. 3O.-The fight
of the Taft and Roosevelt forces
over the presidential electors from
Kansas was today transferred offici-
ally from the courts of that state to
the supreme court of the United
States, The record in the Kansas
case was filed in the supreme court
here, 1t will be rushed to the print
er so that the court NAV dispose of
the case Immediately upon conven-
ing October ID.
The transfer of the record of the
litigation was in response to the
command of Associate Justice Van
DeVenter and Dickev, given August
6 at New York upon the request of
the Kansas Taft attorneys. TIL
decision of the Kansas court was
adverse to the Taft followers, and
the main hope of the Taft managers
to procure the electoral vote of
Kansas lies IN the fight to get the
supreme court to reverse the state
court.

Disregard Threshers Law

Pierre, S. D., Sept. Deputy
Gregory of the insurance depart

ton in the. various counties to de-
termine to what extent threshers
have complied with the late statute
requiring them to file insurance
bonds with the county auditors as
indemnity against possible loss by
fire or otherwise from the careless
handling of their machines. 1t was
found that the law was generally
disregarded. Commissioner Basford

threshers NAV find themselves in

Pearl Fishing In s. Oak

Sioux Falls, Aug. 30.-Pearl fish
ing is becoming quite an industry
along the Big Sioux river and other
streams of the state, including the
Jim river. in the central part of The
state. One of the finest find" of
pearls made in the state this year
has just been made by Tom Jones
and James Nichols, who are pearl
fishing along the Big Sioux river in
Moody county. They found two of
the button variety. one of. twelve
grains and the other of five. The
twelve-grain pearl is believed to be
the largest ever found in the Big
Sioux river and is valued at from $50
to $3.50. The two fine pearls were
found in CLAIMS which had worked
pretty well down into the sand and
gravel. The pearls are beauties.
pure white and of a silvery lustre.
For some weeks four men have been
at work along the streams of Hutch
inson county searching for pearls.
and with very good success. They
sold four. for which they received
$2l5. One of the four pearls was
purchased by them for $40 from an
other pearl fisher and it brought $50.
The pearl fishers also derive areven-
ue from the broken clam shells. be-
ing paid So per ton for them.

Parcel Post Becomes a Law


The following article taken from
the Northwest Farmstead deals with
the advantages obtained through
the parcels post law which goes into
effect Jan. l.. 1918.
An enormous new market for
packages and containers will now
spring up, Is a result of the new
parcel post law. in effect January /,
1918. For mailing fruits, vegeta-
bles. butter. cheese and all kinds of
produce, farmers need q container
which is clean, light in weight.
strong and durable. cheap in price.
attractive in appearance and conven-
lent for producer, transporter and
consumer. 1t is even possible to
erfect a carrier for eggs that will
be suitable for use in the mails.
The parcel post will take packages
Of any size up to IL pounds in weight
at lower prices than the express
companies. and therefore will grad
uaIlv absorb the entire business of
transporting such parcels, The
lower rates mea that many thous-
ands of families will hereafter buy
their produce direct from the farm
err. who will mail same daily or
weekly as may be. There is destln-
ed to be an enormous development
along this line.
