CLEARWATER
KILLS SELF
w. HOGAN SHOOTS HIMSELF
THROUGH HEAD YESTER-
DAY MORNING.
NO REASON ASSIGNED FOR RASH ACT
Walks to Point Near junction and
Commits Deed-Has a Wife and
Two Children at Clarion, Iowa

Yesterday morning j. w. Hogan, a
cigarmaker employed at the Hoff &
Maryland cigar factory, was found in
a dying condition near the railroad
track we miles and a half west of the
city, He was found about seven
o'clock in the morning by Phillip
Severson of this city, and two tran
s%ients, named Mcdonald and Arnold,
who were walking down the railroad
track toward the Junction. He was
suffering from a bullet wound in the
head and was unconscious. Chief of
Police Gullick and Coroner Rood were
notified and Immediately went to the
scene and made arrangements to bring
him to ~Brookings. He was placed on
a hand-car and was still alive, but
passed away just before the party
reached the depot.
When found he was lying about
four feet to the south of the railroad
track, in some tall weeds, and had a
thirty-two calibre revolver grasped in
his hand. The revolver had been fired
but once and this bullet entered the
head near the right temple, ranging
downward and lodging in the back
part of the head. He was attired In a
good suit of clothes and had about
two dollars in money and some
papers on his person.
Coroner Rood did not hold an in
quest yesterday, but may do SO today.
However, 1t is pretty clearly establish
ed that 1t was a case of suicide. Hogan
purchased the revolver found in his
hand at the Jarvis hardware store, to-
gether with ammunition, on Tuesday
evening and all other evidence points
to premeditated suicide. He came
here about a month ago and began
work for the Hoff a. Maryland factory
and was rooming at the home OF Mr..
Hoff. He was In his room Tuesday
evening and presumably spent the
night mere, as ne was seen ABOUT SIX
o'clock yesterday morning going to-
ward the depot and undoubtedly
walked from there to the place where
the act was committed.
Hogan was about forty or forty-five
years Of age and was intelligent and a
man Of some education. He had no
bad habits or at least had displayed
none during his stay in Brookings.
There is 10 apparent cause for the
deed, but it is likely that some secret
trouble was worrying him and per-
haps drove him temporarily insane.
The men working in the factory state
that he had been very quiet the last
couple of weeks and evidently was
brooding over something.
lie leaves a wife and two children
at Clarion, Iowa, and they were mott
fed of his death yesterday morning.
Up to last night no reply had been
received from them and the body
will be held here pending word from
the relatives.

s. D.. HARVESTING
IMMENSE CROP
FINEST CROP OF SMALL GRAIN
IN YEARS is NOW BEING
GATHERED.
CROP IS GOOD IN ALL SECTIONS
And All of the Small Grain Seems to
be Uniform in Yield-Shorta9e OF
Help is Not Serious Here.

Brookings county, in common with
the rest of the state. is now harvest
ing one of the greatest crops of small
grain in her history. The barley and
oats are practically all in shock and
the wheat harvest is well under way
A small amount Of barley has already
baon threshed and has shown a fine
yield. The principal crops Of small
grain are uniformally good and there
in any part Of the county, The corn
is getting along fairly well and with
some warm weather FOR the neXt
month it should prove as good a crop
for this county as the other grains.
The crop throughout the state, es-
pecially in the eastern part is i'm
mense, and is doubly welcome com
ing after a poor year. In parts in
the western part of the state the
drouth again killed off the grain, but
these spots are small and widely
separated, so that the crop generally
may be considered a fine The
corn crop of the state is advancing in
good shape and with warm weather it
should mature nicely.

ings county farmers. The cool wealth
er of the past couple of weeks has
ripened the grain slowly and there
has not been the urgent need Of help
that is the case where the grain all
ripens at once.
There has been a shortage of Irvine
in some parts of the state, but these
cases have been relieved
The hay crop is an unusually good
one in this county and ~pasturage is
much better than for several years.
There is an unusually large acreage
Of potatoes in the county this year
and they promise a fine yield.
w. II. Stokes, the we'll known
Waterfowl miller, says of the pro-
spective prices of small grain:
The visible supply of wheat in the
United States is something like TWEEN
ty million bushels less than a year
ago. and there are small stocks Of
flour and wheat in first hands and
market centers, and while all kinds
Of feed will be much lower in price
than last season, wheat should com
mand a reasonable price. Good grades
of milling wheat should not go much
below the e~ighty-cent mark at coun-
try elevators as we are very close to
the export basis at this time, but We
can not expect extremely high prices
for anything in the line of cereals.
In my opinion farmers should not SUB
nit to a low price for their barley, as
there should be a demand for it some
time during the year at a good reason.
able price. Taking it all in all, busi-
ness conditions the coming year
should be good throughout the United
States and especially so throughout
the great northwest

BOARD NAMES TEACHERS

The city school board has elected
Miss Loretta McElmurry OF this city,
as instructor Of domestic science, the
new course to be added the coming
year. Miss McElmurry is well quail
fed for the position, having spent the

cago. and her selection will be very
pleasing to the school patrons. The
board also elected Geo. II. Bishop as
the new teacher of manual training,
and he is expected to arrive here the
coming week to get the work in shape

He Is a graduate OF the University of

FARM ADVERTISING

Farm advertising is one of the
most profitable lines of work in which
the farmers can engage. There are
large numbers of ways to advertise
the farm. Leading among these is
the farm name and the farm station
cry. Your local printer or publisher
is in a position to put up some mighty
attractive stationary that will mean a
great deal TO the farm and the farmer.
Then when a letter is written it car
ries with 1t the name OF the farm and
the farmer. 1t Is a stamp Of progress
and the emblem Of success.

CROPS r FINE

We were over to Sioux Falls by auto
last Friday and found the crops along
the way to be immense. There seem
ed to be little difference in the small
grain crop at any place in the sixty
miles, but down near Sioux Falls the
corn is considerably ahead of that in
this vicinity. The barley and most
Of the oats were in shock, but the
wheat had hardly been touched. The
roads were excellent, except where
they had been recently worked, and
between Dell Rapids and Sioux Falls
they were especially good.

Postmaster Breed of Bookings,
made the speech of welcome to the
carriers on behalf of the city and
postoffice force. He also spoke on
some of the troubles the carriers
have to contend with and the best
way to get around kicks and kickers.
He stated that a carrier could, by per-
sistently agitating the question, do a
good deal for the good road move
ment, which was for the benefit of
everybody and not the least fer the
farmers themselves, whom they serve
so faithfully through summers rain
or shine, or winters snow and cold,
Billiards and drifts or fair weather.
He thought that the farmers would
wake to the fact some time, that good
roads means better r. f. ID. service,
