S. D. Corn Crop Only Second

The government crop report on
August LIST gave South Dakota's corn
crop as second in condition in the
entire country. Minnesota stood
first. with corn at 95 per cent. South
Dakota 92. Iowa IS, Illinois u. Me-
braska 81. Missouri 70, and Kansas
80. The hot weather and drouth
has been prolonged in most of these
afflicted states since August LIST. so
the present condition is doubtless
considerably lower than the figures
given. Showers over most Of South
Dakota have kept conditions about
normal here this month.

HURON BOOSTERS
VISIT MILLER
Citizens OF Two Best Cities In
So. OAK" Meet In Socia-
bility Run

The Miller Commercial Club en-
Joyed a two hours visit Tuesday
from about one hundred representa-
tlves from the Huron Club, who were
making a sociabllity run advertising
the state fair. And it was an en-.
lovable visit too. as is always the
case when good fellows get togeth-
err"
The Huron Herald speaks as fol
lows OF their visit in this city:
A short stop was made here and a
message sent to Miller that We're
coming 20 autoes strong and Miller,
characteristic of the city, sent a
small delegation of 20 autoes to st.
Lawrence to meet and escort the
boosters to the real metropolis of
the west. Leaving, the 40 autoes
reached nearly from St. Lawrence
to Miller. Upon reaching Miller the
aggregation was received by Mayor
Christ who made a very appropriate
address and welcomed the boosters.
The commercial club of Miller had
arranged for dinner for the crowd
at the Vanderbilt hotel and the COM
mercial club rooms were thrown
open to the ladies and gentlemen.
Rev. Pinch after dinner mind
you' spoke to the citizens and invited
them to Huron and to the state fair.
Mayor Medberry repeated the invita-
ton and guaranteed the hearty CO.
operation of the citizens of Huron
in making the Miller friends COM
Portable during their stay in the city.
After one and a half hours with Mil
Ter friends the auto train was invited
to Zine up'' and the same cars that
piloted the boosters into the city
preceded them in viewing the city
of beautiful residences. green lawns,
and shade trees, after which they
returned to st. Lawrence and left
the members of the Huron sociability
run where they found them. with
their best wishes for a successful
san during the remainder of the day,
And right here is a good place for
the Herald to say to the citizens of
Miller on behalf of the citizens of
Huron that the hospitable treatment
accorded them Yesterday has &C.
mented the link Of friendship that
has always existed between the two
best cities in South Dakota.

DROWNED IN WATER TANK.
BW Braden, q prominent farmer of
this township, was found dead in his
STOCK tank Friday noon, He went out
az eleven o'clock telling his wife he
was going to the barn to see how the
boys were getting along, they having
gone to the field for load of bean pods.
When they got to the barn they I'M
loaded. and by that time Mrs Braden
rang the dinner bell; when the boys got
to the house Mrs Braden asked Clifton
IL he had seen his father, receiving an
answer in the negative.
She told him his father left the house
about an hour previous; they immedi-
ately began search, while she tele-
phoned to the neighbors. After search
ing in the barns and yard, he was
found in the tank of water, which was
nearly full, and about two feet deep.
The tank is enclosed, and inside is a

says there was dead fish in the tank

in the water to see whether he could
catch it, and as it was icy where he
stood, it is supposed his feet slipped and
he was precipitated into the water.
He had suffered two slight strokes of
paralysis, and it thought he might
have had an attack just as he stood
leaning over the water.

a loss to the community, by whom he
