The frs. freeze of the season oc-
Cured last night, temperature marking
1 80 at 2 O'Clock this morning. There
was a heavy frost and water ia vessels
outside was frozen. Leaves of trees
began falling today. and with the
heavy foliage of the season there will
be a big crop on the ground soon.
So far AS corn is concerned it has been
out of the way of frost for ten days or
mole and of course there will be no
damage to the crop. Garden crops
have been harvested, and there is
nothing to suffer from the advent of
fall. The season has been unusually
warm and crofs went to maturity
early.

tween the superintendent of the Aber-
deem schools and the school board on
the one side and the members of the

The department of history ut Pierre
has come into possession CT a large pic
tuIe of sn old ~fteighting train which
used to ply the trail between Fort
Pierre and Deadwood. The wagons,
oxen, cowboys and freighters make the
scene one of unususl interest now, |
when such scenes are no more. The
whole outfit 10 the picture belonged to
Tex Hemple, a famous old freighter,
who now lives out from Pierre on
the bluffs overlooking the Missouri.
For more than 40 years he has been in
that country and drove the stages and
freighting teams all through pioneer
days to Dead wood He is shown in

ground. The panel is nearly six feet
long by about two feet wind. 1t is an
enlargement of a photograph taken in

Dell Rapids Times: Breeders of the
mule foot hogs have always claimed
they were immune from the dreaded
disease of hog cholera, but many have
seriously doubted it, and with much
reason, since there seems no logical
reason why the shape of a hogs foot
should affect its physical condition in
relation to disease. But "the proof of
the pudding is in the eating thereof
is an adage which is beyond dispute,
and we note that in the present hog
cholera scourge, which Is severe in the
neighborhhood of Elk Point and Beres-
ford and other places that the mule.
foots are proving the truth of the
claim. The Beresford and Elk Point
papers report many farmers losing
hogs. At Beresford W. j. Bulow had
both mule-foots and common hogs; he
lost fifteen of the common hogs, and
not one mule-foot. At A lexandria the
6eiald reports Mr.. Plagmann having
both kinds of hogs in the same herd;
he lost q number of the ordinary hogs.
