FUGITIVE
Scores Searching for Harvest Hand
Who Killed Farmer.

Mellette, Aug. 2S.-Scores of of
ficers are engaged in the search for
Bob" Miller, a harvest hand from a
southern state, who a few days ago
deliberately shot and killed Guy Far
lish, a Sphinx county farmer. over a
dispute arising when Parish paid
Miller off after discharging him.
Miller claimed 81 more than Farlish
believed to be due and Farlish re-
fused to give him the extra dollar.
The fugitive, who is believed to
have escaped to the southern part of
the state, is described as being about
% years old, weighing about $50
pounds, smooth shaver, with rather
dark complexion and about 5 feet 9
inches in height. At the time of com
hitting the cold blooded murder he
wore oyeralls and a jumper and a
brown coat, a brown hat with light
colored band and extra heavy shoes
with large lacing eyelets. He can
easily be identified from this descrip-
ton.
After Parrish refused to pay the
extra dollar, Miller walked to the viii
lage of Turton, where he purchased a
revolver and a box of cartridges. and,
returning to the place where he had
been employed, he. without the
slightest warning, shot and killed
Parrish, the bullet entering Farlish's
heart and causing instant death.
The slayer then made his escape
by walking to the John Goolie home.
some miles away, where he related
what had happened and at the point
of his deadly revolver forced Goolie
to give him a horse. on which he
rode toward the village of Raymond,
| near which the horse was afterward
found running loose. Here all trace
of the murderer was lost. The Off
GERS are very hopeful of yet captur-
ing the fugitive.

CORN FOR SILAGE
Prof. Wilson of State College Gives
Results of Observation.

Brookings, Aug. 28.-That the
best time TO cut corr for silage is
when the ears are in the glazed
stage, is the statement of Prof. j.
w. Wilson of the State College of
Agriculture at Brookings.
Il have cut the corn" said Prof.
Wilson, when the ears were in the
milk stage and found that the silage
was very sour. have cut the corn
after it was made into fodder along
in November, put 1t in the silo by
adding water, and found that the
smell of the corn fodder silage was
very offensive. l have cut the corn
when the ears were ripe and the
bulk of the leaves were dry and
found that there was not enough
water in the corn stalk to preserve
the silage. The result was we had
mouldy silage. In this late condition
it was impossible to tramp the silage
sufficiently so it would keep out the
air.
II have cut the corn when the ears
were in the dough stage because of
the frost which hurt the leaves. This
did not make as good silage as that
that was cut when the ears were in
the glazed stage. There might be a
few of the leaves at the bottom of the
stalk that are dried when your corn
is in the glazed stage. but your sill
age is in better shape.
Il looked at our fields yesterday
and found that the corn was in the
milk stage and the entire plant was
green. 1t is too early to cut. but
would judge with ordinary weather
that in about two weeks u corn will
be in first class condition"
Any person interested in the re-
suits of feeding silage may obtain
bulletins 1877 and 14S by applying to
Prof. Wilson. These bulletins treat
of the subject in detail.

That the Germans will make a def
mite stand long before the defenses
of the Oder are reached is believed
certain here. The general staff has
reports of heavy Austrian reinforce
ments being detached from the Ser
Wan border and ordered north into
Prussian territory. 1t is believed,
also, that the Germans have been
strongly reinforced by the reserve
army just modified.
Discussing the Russian movements
to date high officials say the Ger
mans were completely surprised.
They had refused to believe that
the Russian mobilization plans had
been perfected or that the army STAFF
had learned anything by the reverses
in M~anchuria.
The Russians took great advantage
of this fact. The cavalry and mount
ed infantry we're utilized in the initial
movements, which were executed so
expeditiously that the Germans were
unable to concentrate, and their
forces, scattered over wide stretches
of territory, were overwhelmed, the
Russian officials say.

Indian Fighters of 1904 Meet

Mr. Frank Myers. of this city, was
agreeably surprised Tuesday by a
visit from his old comrade James
NOLAN, of LIE Mars, Iowa. They
were members of the 9Th Iowa.
which regiment went with Gen. Sui
ly on his famous expedition through
Dakota in l863-4-5. fighting the
Sioux Indians. These gentlemen
were members of a squad of five
men selected to carry dispatches to
TT. Rice. They were captured by
hostile Indians near the present site
Of Gettysburg, IN Potter county.
Fortunately for them a bunch of
friendly Indians with whom they
had become acquainted sometime
before, came along and succeeded in
getting them away from the hostiles
and they completed their journey to
TT. Rice. The comrades had not
met each other for nearly fifty
Years. and it is needless to say they
are enjoying their visit to the full.

Passing of Wheat Crop

Mitchell Republican:-Why is it
that there is so much concern every
year IN the southern part Of South
Dakota about the wheat crop?
There is no explanation except that
it is from force of a habit formed
years ago when wheat was one of the
mainstays of the farmer. In Davi.
son county the wheat acreage is es-
timated at less than a third of that
planted to corn. The average corn
crop is worth about three times as
much to the farmer. without the
ensllage. as is wheat. and with silos
its value is about FIVE times that of
wheat. That means that in this
county the corn crop is ten or fifteen
times rs important as the wheat
yield. indeed most of the farmers
use wheat only for crop rotation,
And now many of them are sup
planting it with alfalfa. as alfalfa is
far more profitable and in addition
enriches the soil while wheat doe ]
not.

WOMEN HIGH AT
JOHNS HOPKINS

DR.. William H. Howell, Professor
of Physiology at the Johns Hopkins
University Medical School writes:
IF anyone cares to claim that the
brain of woman is inferior, he must
seek the evidence for his belief in his
personal experience or in the archives
OF history-certainly not among the
sober records Of science.
1T has been my duty for many
years to instruct mixed classes of
men and women in the classroom and
in the laboratory, but | have never
been conscious in any way that il was
necessary to make concessions to the
women as the weaker vessels.
There is nothing in the peculiar
physiology of woman to prevent her
from casting her ballot regularly and
intelligently. Men are perfectly
well aware that the physical duties
connected with suffrage are neither
exhausting nor onerous-and even
the labors Of campaigning. which
most of us fortunately escape. are
not of a greater magnitude. physic-
ally considered, than many of the
social achievements which women
carry off 81 successfully"

Cattle Bring Good Price

The following item taken from the
Chicago Drovers' Journal tells of 6.
small fortune made by a farmer of
this state in one stock sale in which
he disposed of 144 head of steers at
an average of $3.50 per head. 1t
emphasizes the fact that more farm
ers should devote their energies to
live stock and the raising of a feed
crop:
A South Dakota cattle feeder had
the distinction of selling la head Of
prime steers at Chicago Monday
which netted him the largest amount
of money paid cut this year for that
number of cattle. The gross amount
was S2l sos, making an average OF
$3.50 per head. They sold at SO rs
@9.95 a hundred. There were Al
head $165, while "a averaged $157
find 76 averaged S139.
These cattle were fed by McMur-
chic Bros. of Turner county. South
Dakota. and shipped from Center
vile. There were many consign-
ments of native steers on the Monday
market which averaged $l35 to $3.50
per head and over 500 head sold
above 50 so while the top was $1,000
paid for 80 branded Herefords which
averaged l441 lbs.

Army of Harvest Hands

South Dakota is now the Ca nping
ground of a large army of harvest
hands, who are entering the state
from cities and harvest fields farth-
er south. The larger towns such as
Aberdeen, Redfield, and Mitchell
have these visitors by the hundreds
and in most cases they we're from a
week to ten days too early to find
employment IN the harvest fields
Some would move on to another 10
calitv. but the great majority of
them remained in these towns and
established a 'jungles" headquar-
tiers where they did their own cook
ing and spent most of their time
while waiting for the grain to ripen
On the whole they are said to be an
orderly bunch of men but there are
reported the usual number of pro.
fessional hoboes among them, who
are not looking for work at any
price.
Every day last week brought sew
eral of these men into Miller and
Hand county, many of which found
work at once. Those less fortunate
or those coming in after the demand
was supplied camped a few days
near the city stock yards and then
moved on. While a few Of these
visitors in Miller got their meals by
the back door circuit" most of
them bought their food and cooked
it at the camp,

of the Big Horn mountains, prob
ably this summer, A. f. Palen, u.
