ROUGH HOUSE POLITICS

Lincoln Journal: Every day some
thing happens to confirm us in the
opinion that this presidential cam
paign is to be lively and energetic
one from the rising of the sun of the
next Chicago convention to the going
down of the same. The prospective
harmonysof this gathering is in itself
an earnestof the rough work ahead
for those who participate in it. No
compromise and no quarter. Such is
to be the policy of the contending
forces, and that means such politi-
cal roughhouse as this country has
never witnessed. We are nerving
ourselves to 60 through the ordeal
without show of bitterness or ex-
citement, but if we do become angry
it will go hard with the native who
attempts to continue the argument.

HOUND FOUND FUGITIVE

E.. w. Bell, the colored man who wss
brought back from Lincoln, Neb,. to
Deadwood on charge of forgery, and
later tried and sentenced to term Of
five years in the penitentiary, escaped
from officers while ensroute to Sioux
Falls. When the train left Pierre last
Thursday morning the colored man was
asleep in his berth, his feet ironed very
heavily. When they reached Blunt he
had disappeared. Friday morning Sher-
if Noonan arrived at Blunt from Dead
wood with bloodhound. The hound
soon located the place where the color
ed man left the train, but within mile
the trail was lost. Acting upon the ad-
vice of Sheriff j. w. Laughlin of this
city Sheriff Noonan came to Pierre on
Friday afternoon and Immediately start
ed the hound at work. An hour later
the hound struck the trail of the fleeing
man near the North Western bridge
and followed the same to point about
thirty miles west, near Capa, where the
faithful animal ran onto the fugitive.
Bell was fastening to Deadwood, where
it is believed he has acquaintance that
would secrete him until such time as he
could make good his escape. Bell has
since been landed in the penitentiary at
Sioux Falls, where he will remain TO,
five years.

CROP CONDITIONS GOOD

Having just recently made COM
plete tour of the state and having
travelled approximately 100 miles,
we feel as though we can speak of the
crop conditions of the state as whole
with the satisfaction of knowing,
having seen. Taking the eastern
part, from Sioux Falls to Watertown,
and from the latter city to Aberdeen,
and on to Redfeld aud Huron the
crops were we'll advanced and look
ing fine with a promise of a good
yield. From Huron to Pierre and
on to Rapid City the crops were not
so far advanced and were not looking
so we'll but recent rains and weather
conditions have been favorable to
these later crops and we suspect they
will come out with fair yield. All
the valley land in the Hills section
was looking fine and promises big
yields. From Rapid City to Cham
berlain conditions were much like
those from Huron to Pierre with some
improvement Immediately west of
Cham berlain. From the latter city
on to Mitchell the crops were looking
good, while not so far advanced as
those from Mitchell to Yankton
where they were exceptionally we'll
advanced and fine indeed. All the
southeastern part of the state is like
a garden spot of crops and naturally
farther advanced. Having gone over
the line from Hawarden, Iowa, via
Beresford, Parker and Salem, to vi.
las and from there to Howard and
Madison and again from there tc
Lake Preston and back to Huron has
been covering the state very thor.
oughly and everywhere crops look
good and the recent rains SO bounti.
full and so general over the state bode
we'll for bumper crop.

An outline Of what his bureau is
doing for South Dakota was given by
John d. Deets, chief of the states i'm
migration department, in Sioux Falls.
Commissioner Deets reports that
there is an influx of settlers into the
region between the Missouri river and
the Black Hills in Western South Da-

the northwestern part Of the state are
increasing rapidly In number. The
better farming movement and Incl.
dentally the back to the farm move
ment is being aided by the State De

the state into. districts so the move
ment can be pushed to the greatest
degree possible.
Two expert farmers now are en-
ployed in the state to show what can
methods--one by the Commercial
club at Aberdeen and the other by
the Sioux Falls Commercial club.
Much good is expected to result from
these experimental farms. The state
also has established experimental or
demonstration farms at several points

various resources of the state and the
opportunities that the state offers to
landseekers and others who are look
