Frightened BY Accident.

Sisseton. surrounds the
disappearance of Bert Beining, Sis
seton youth, 10 years of age. A week
ago he drove to Ellington, taking a
moving picture outfit in the wagon. He
was accompanied by young woman,
Miss Bessie Hart. On the way he
accidently drove the wagon into the
ditch, darkness having come on be-
fore he reached Ellington, and the par
aphernalia was thrown out, as was
Miss Hart. The team, frightened by
the accident, ran away. F. D. Chausse
was following the Beining rig with
another team, and when he reached
the scene of the accident, picked up
Miss Hart, who was unhurt, and start
ed search for Beining and the team.
The team was found the next day in
corn field, but no trace has been
found of the young man, and it is be-
lieved he feared that he would be
held responsible for damage done to
the load, or that Miss Hart had been
injured in the accident and fed the
country.

HOPES ARE REVIVED
RUMOR THAT BURLINGTON WILL
BUY ST. LOUIS ROAD ARoUsEs
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
HAPP ENINGS OVER THESTATE
What 10 Going on Here and There

ers Throughout South "a
kota and Vicinity.

Mobridge.-A recent visit to Aber
deem and other towns on the Mime
apolis & st. Louis road in South Da
kota of high official of the Burling
ton route revived rumor that the
Burlington is contemplating the pur
chase of the South Dakota line of the
M. & st. L.
The rumor has aroused much inter.
est among the residents of LeBeau,
the terminus of one branch of the
st. Louis line. LeBeau is ON the Mis-
souri, river in Walworth county, and
it is believed that if the Burlington
buys the st. Louis line it will extend
the line southwestward from LeBeau
to the Black Hills country, which the
Burlington already enters from Ne.
braska. The st. Louis already has
large yard facilities at LeBeau, and
it's acquisition by the Burlington and
the construction of a bridge across
the Missouri river and the extension
of the line to the Black Hills would
make of LeBeau an important divis-
ion point. LeBeau has natural gas
in large quantities, and undeveloped
power from the Missouri river, and
if the Burlington should acquire the
st. Louis, LeBeau would undoubtedly
enjoy rapid growth, and the hopes
of the men and the women who have
pinned their faith in the town, only
to meet, hitherto, with disappoint-
ment, would be finally realized.

Wool Shipments Increased.

Belle Fourche.-During the season
just closed the total amount of wool
shipped from Belle Fourche was l.
336,11 pounds, an increase OF nearly
half million pounds over The 1872
shipments. AS near as can be esti-
mated the average price paid was 16
cents per pound, the prices ranging
from IA to 1914 cents. Estimating the
fleeces at eight pounds, this would
indicate that 167,015 sheep had been
sheared in this section. Deducting
20 per cent for the non-breeding year
ling ewes and wethers, or 80, 4O3, this
would leave in the country 1882
breeding ewes. The lamb crop which
was IS per cent this year, amounts to
100000, which added to the original
167,0 15 sheep makes total of 267 ,224.
Deducting so per cent of the lamb
crop (wethers) and 10 per cent for
the old and dry ewes, which will be
shipped out, this will leave in the
country about 200,420 sheep for the
1914 season.

FIND VALUABLE OLD VOLUMES
British Museum Gets Two Copies OF
the "Lyf Of our Lady"-copies
Are Rare.

London.-The British Museum mas
Just secured two copies Of the only
two leaves known of the so-called sec
ond edition of the "Lyf Of our Lady
by John Lydgate, printed by Caxton
about 1484 in folio.
Some time ago the librarian OF the
st. Bride Typographical Library, MI.
R. A. Peddie, discovered among col
lection of pamphlets and other papers
originally the property of William
Blades a bundle of early printed
leaves and fragments Of leaves wrap
ped in a leather binding from when
the boards had been removed. On IN
vestigation it was discovered that the
whole of the printed matter was from
Cations press and the binding itself
was from his workshop. There were
thirty-eight leaves of the Boethius'
printed about 147S. and there appear
ed to be little doubt that the binding
originally belonged to the Boethius
and that the careful disintegration OF
the boards had resulted in the remain
ing fragments.
Among these fragments these sl1
copies of the two leaves before IRE
ferred to were discovered. One leaf
was still pasted on the binding the
'Lyf Of our Lady" contains ninety-six
leaves and there are eight copies now
known to be in existence.

Build Church In Two Weeks.

washington Springs.-To complete
a church building in period of two
weeks from the time the first shove
full of dirt was thrown out of the ex-
cavation for the basement is the task
which has been undertaken by Rev.
l.. A. Phinney, pastor of the church,
and members of the Friends of the
church society in Harmony township,
near here. The pastor is being as
sisted by members of the church So
ciety, and by three regular carpenters.
The structure will be "a by 40 feet,
with a tower and bell. In one day the
old church building was moved from

basement of the new structure had
been completed. Within three days
the foundation had been completed
and work started on the main struc-
ture. BY the end of this week the

light, with which it was confused BY
mariners many years ago.
A year ago the scheme of a local
land company to acquire the light
house was defeated by the hue and cry
that was raised by citizens of Scituate
and patriotic societies all over the
country. In the town meeting last
March the town raised $1,000 for the
purchase Of the lighthouse.
The story Of the heroic Bates girls
may be found in many of the histories
of the Bay state. The two young
daughters Of Aaron Bates, the light
keeper, lived with their father on the
then lonely strip of beach half a mile
from the village of Scituate.
One day when their father was in
his fields mile from the lighthouse
a British man-o'-war came in and an.
chored half a mile of the shore. The
boatloads of sailors started ashore.
The invasion of Scituate was undoubt
eddy prevented by the two girls, who.
taking from the wall fife and drum
which had been carried by their grand.
father in the revolution and on which
they had frequently practiced, they got
behind a sand hill and struck up
Yankee Doodle" to such good effect
that the sailors returned to the shHp,
which sailed away. The girls have
been called the American Army Of

Alfalfa Orders For Alaska.

Whitewood.-Cha G. Haas has
recently filled orders for alfalfa seed
and plants from the United States gov
eminent for three Alaskan experiment
stations. AS hay sells for as high as
500 per ton in Alaska, the government
is attempting to find some varieties
of forage plants that can be success
fully grown there and it is quite an
honor both to Mr.. Haas and the state
that the government officials should
consider his Dakota grown Grim al
falfa as one of the very few forage
plants sufficiently hardy to be con-
sidered worthy of trial in that vigor'
GUS climate.

board recently had two petitions be-

their names be taken from it, but the
board refused to listen to them;- that
one of the signers was a freeholder

not having become such until after

Biu Alfalfa Increase.

Belle Fourche.-Project Engineer
Magruder has completed the 1913 crop
survey of lands under the Belle
Fourche project. This survey shows
substantial increase in average over
previous years. The total acreage IT.
rigated in 1912 was 27,S97 acres
against 35,768 acres this year. The Of
fetal reports show an increase in al
falfa acreage of 1885 acres and esti-
mated gross returns of 100000 for
the entire 1913 crop. 1t is believed
that the crops generally are better
under the project than they were
during the season of 1912, and there
is no doubt that alfalfa is 40 per cent
better than last season.
