Falls Young Woman.

Sioux Falls, July IA sentence
to attend church each Sunday has re
suited in the conversion of Ethel st.
Claire, who was convicted in the
court of Judge Medin, judge of the

months in Jail, but the court sus-
pended sentence upon the promise of
the woman to reform and attend
church every Sunday. Judge Medin

custody on the condition of attending
church.

atives in ST. Louis, Mo-, and is lead
ing an exemplary life. Judge Medin
required her to report to him month
ly, and in her last report, which has
just been received, she states that
she has faithfully attended church
and that now she has become con
verted to Christianity.

CORN CROP is FAR
ADVANCED THIS YEAR
Two or Three Weeks Earlier
Than Other Seasons.

Des Moines, Ia, July 17.-Never
before has corn reached the stage of
maturity so early in the season as
this year, according to the first crop
report just issued by Secretary George
Reynolds of the Western Grain Deal
ers' association for Minnesota, Ohio,
Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, South Da-
kota, Nebraska and Kansas.
The corn crop is from two to three
weeks early and t~asseling out.
Growth of the different states follow:
Minnesota, 81; Iowa, 102; Ohio, so;
Indiana, 90; Illinois, 80; Missouri, 80;
South Dakota, 100; Nebraska, 1872;
Kansas, IS; Oklahoma, 20.
A bumper oat and wheat crop is
predicted and there is a marked tend
ency for farmers to hold their wheat
for higher prices.
Beef is scarcer than last year ex-
cept in South Dakota, where the beef
percentage is 2 per cent higher than
in 1913.
The timothy and hay crop is gen
orally short owing to the lack of early
spring rains. especially throughout

Supreme Court Makes Decision i'm

Pierre, July lin the case of
William Hoffert, from Miner county,
to test the automobile license act,
Justice Policy disposed of the ques-
ton of double taxation" which was
made one of the main features of the
case, by holding that the license fee
required is not double taxation, for
the reason that il is a fee for use

against either the machine itself, nor
the owner thereof; that the individ-
ual may own n number of motor

that the fee so collected goes into a

UNCLAIMED BODY
OF JOHN LEJYHS WILL BE BUR
led IN CATHOLIC GENE
Terry AT COUNTY
EXPENSE.

The companions of John LeJyhs,
the young man who died at the hos
pital yesterday morning, were in the
city last evening and gave particulars
of the accident and other details of
the young mans history. The young
men are Hungarians. Previous TO
coming here they were employed In
an iron foundry at Gary. Ind. John
Ieiyhs. deceased. was aged Il years.
His mother. stepfather and other rel
atives reside in Hungary, but he had
no relatives in this country. His
companions state that his relatives
are not interested in him and viii
probably make no inquiries as TO his
fate and would are little if informed
of his death. The boy was sem to
this country about four years ago by
an uncle who was a fairly well to do
farmer in Hungary and who took an
interest i'm the lad. The uncle's
health failed and he urged his neph-
ew to return to Hungary and he
would make him heir to his farm.
The young man was enjoying life in
| this country and he wrote his uncle
| asking to remain here a few years
longer before returning. In the
| meantime the uncle died and having
taken up with another nephew the
farm was transferred to him.
1t develops that the accident which
caused the young mans death occur
red i'm Sioux Falls and not in Madi-
i son as has been stated. According
to the companions in the city last
evening the young men were lying on
the ground beside the railroad track
in Sioux Falls waiting for a freight
| train 10 pull out. Leiyhs had fallen
asleep and when the train started
his companions aroused him and all
three raced to get aboard the train.
In his half awake condition Lejyhs
/ fell into the pit of a turntable. His
companions succeeded in extricating
him and getting him aboard the train
an dthey came on to Madison, Lejyhs
suffering great agony from his in
iuries which were in the abdomen.
Upon arrival here the young man
was taken TO the hospital where an
operation was performed for his re-
lief. but the surgeons gave little hope
for his recovery when they discover
ed the nature of his injuries.
In view of the fact that there are
no relatives to claim the body which
is at Z. l.. Peck's undertaking rooms
the county commissioners, in session
were notified. A state law provides
that unclaimed dead bodies may be
sent to the state university at Yer.
million for dissecting purposes. The
university was communicated with
but owing to the vacation seaso
they did not car to receive the body
and burial will be had here at the
expense of the county. Deceased was
of the Catholic faith and the remain:
will be inferred in the Catholic Gem
etery tomorrow morning.

COUNTY DIVISION
Stanley County Will Submit PROPOSE
ton TO Voters Next Fall.

Pierre. July 17.-By virtue of &C
ton taken at a session of the Stan
county board of commissioners
yesterday, a county seat and county
division contest is formally launched
in that county.
The board honored the petition of
Midland to be placed upon The ballot
this fail as an applicant for designa-
ton as county seat. This will, of
course, force activity on the part of
Fort Pierre, just across the Missouri
river from here, and the present
county seat of Stanley.
In addition to opening the county
seat question, the board authorized
submission of the question of form
ing two new counties, Jackson and
Haaken, from the western part of
Stanley.
The board denied the petition for
submitting the question of organizing
the third new county, Sterling.
County division sentiment is based
largely on the fact that a number OF
towns desire to block out new coun-
ties in which they will be centrally
located and thus likely to be accorded
county seat honors.
AS Fort Pierre, the present county
seat, is on the extreme eastern edge
of this large county it would stand
very poor show of holding its honors
if the western half of the county
would unite on any one town. There
is much doubt whether this will re
suit, as there are several towns pre-
pairing TO hoist their lightning rods

UNREQUITED LOVE
And Strong Drink Causes Suicide of
Young Man.

Hot Springs, July 17.-Richard R..
Kenwood of DeKalb, ILL.,, who had
been stopping in this city for about
a week, was found dead just east of
the city, at the foot of the Battle
mountain, Sunday afternoon with a
gunshot wound through his forehead.
At the coroner's inquest evidence was
brought out showing that the young
mar had been drinking heavily for a
few days and was depressed and dis
~couraged; that he had lost the love
of a girl in the east and that his par
ents were discouraged over his con-
dition. 1t was his depressed condi-
ton that had temporarily unbalanced
his mind and caused him to commit
suicide.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

There lis only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il lis en-
tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless tn Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in

SEED FORTUNES
Sweet Glover Growing Along the
Roadsides i'm South Dakota.

Brookings, July lin all parts
of the state white sweet clover grows
along the roadsides and fences. The
seed of this white blossomed sweet
clover should be saved and utilized.
1t is a we'll known fact that any u
try where farming has been carried
on successfully for many years is a
country where some kind of clover is
used in the crop vacation. 1t fol-
lows that if South Dakota is to keep
he rsoil productive, some kind or
clover should be grown.
White sweet clover is the most
profitable clover yet studied by this
experiment station. The crop on the
Bookings farm in 1913 was worth
upwards of 500 per acre. The first
crop was cut for hay, the second for
seed. The seed used for the original
paintings on the station was obtained
from the roadsides nearby. There is
no need to buy the seed if it grows
wild near home. The seed ~retailed
last year at about SIS per bushel
and the demand could not be sup
piled. In the vicinity of Farming
dale, Rapid City and other Black
Hills towns great quantities went to
| waste. The seed can be harvested
with binder, reaper, mower or scythe
and threshed with an ordinary
thresher or in small quantities by
beating or tramping out on a hard
floor.
In saving this seed the all impor-
tant thing to remember is to get the
| white blossomed kind. The yellow
blossomed kind is inferior as a for
age crop and is only wanted by bee
men who desire it for its abundant
bloom rather than it's forage quail,
tiles.
