for hogs, and 1t yielded about rs
bushels to the acre.
Pierre-The financial report at the
Episcopal convocation of Sioux In
dams shows that the Indians raised

ence raised $465, and the women the
lions share.
Blunt-Sheriff Quinn from Pierre
was here and arrested w. j. MeMa-
hon, who was in the butcher business

Deadwood - Even an all day
drenching rain did not dampen the
ardor Of the delegates to the South
Dakota Educational association in an
nual convention here, and the general
sessions and departmental programs
were carried out entire with a heavy
attendance. Aberdeen was unani-
mously chosen for the next meeting
place, and in the election of officers
the presidency furnished the only
contest. DR.. w. f. Jones of vermil-
lion was elected. Mrs. Russell War
rem OF Spearfish was made recording

usually short this year, as spring
opened late, and winter set in early.

CARE OF
Only 600 Operations i'm 5000 Treated

Paris, Oct. 23.-The Journal des
Debats says that during the first
month after the first arrival of
wounded at the vichy hospital. where
the most important operations are
performed, the average of the opera
tions was twenty per day out of 5000
cases treated.
OF these coo operations no more
than ten were amputations and
among the ten were some Of single
fingers and parts of fingers only.
Two legs, one arm and one wrist were
all the serious amputations that
proved necessary at this great hos
pital.
This very small proportion of am
putations in comparison with wound
ed of preceding wars is accounted for.
first, by the difference in effects OF
modern projectiles, which have not
not so much tendency TO produce
slivers of bone. The wound is more
localized and cleaner cut than for
merly. In the second place surgical
science has progressed and wounds
that would have seemingly required
the amputation forty years ago are
now treated with a view to saving ii.
In connection with the treatment
of bullet and shrapnel wounds the
Temps states that experiments made
in a Lyons hospital have demonstrate
ed that the German bullets are mag
netic and are in many cases easily
extracted by the application OF a
powerful magnet.
In one case at the Desenettes hos
pital at Lyons a bullet was extracted
from a depth of three and a half
inches by an electric magnet power
full enough to lift a ton. while its ex-
traction would have been extremely
difficult by any other process. The
magnet is also being used together
with photography to locate bullets,

Voters Can Sign Petitions.

A registered voter may sign the
nominating petition of as many can
didates of his party for the same
office as he chooses, according to an
opinion of Attorney-General Craw-
ford given to the county clerk of Jo-
sephine County. The attorney gen
eral holds that if a Republican reg
istered voter, for instance, signs the
petition of half dozen Republican
for the gubernatorial nom
ination the voters name is to be
counted on each petition. He says
the law intends to make it as easy
as possible for candidates to get be-
fore the people.

MIGHTY NEAR HOME

The Newport Signal talks right ont
about their county attorney and it
reads like it will start taxpayers
thinking
Our County Attorney is certainly
a pippin when it comes to securing
convictions. OF all the cases brought
by him to the attention of the grand
jury and brought to trial in the cir
cult court not a single conviction re-
suited He has piled up another big
bill of expense which will have to be
borne by the already overburdened
taxpayers. How long are the people
of this county going to stand for this
sort of buncombe? We firmly be-
lieve in convictions where the law
has been violated, but we do not be-
lieve in bringing every alleged viola
tion to the attention of the grand
jury without thorough investigation
of the merits of the case, and the re-
suits of the recent term of court
plainly show that such investigations
had not been made by the county at
torney There is no excuse for such
gross blunders on the part of a public
official, with the possible exception
of one, and that is ineompetency. We
may be hailed before the next grand
jury for publishing this editorial, but
these are our sentiments and we can
not help but express them and we
win bet a dollar to a doughnut that
they are the sentiments of two-thirds
of the voters.
