NEARBY NOTES OF INTEREST

The writer has taken the trouble to
look at several fields of alfalfa in this
vicinity the past week. Already there
is a heavy growth, and probably all
Of 1t will be cut within a week or
ten days. Some pieces that were con.
sidered a very poor stand last year
have thickened up and are now good
fields. One can hardly imagine that
alfalfa could look better than it does
In this locality. The only complaint
is that there is not enough Of it. This
fault will be remedied to a great ex.
tent in a year or two. There will be
several hundred acres of alfalfa sown
in De Smet territory this spring. There
will be a good many ten and twenty
acre fields sown by those who have
never tried alfalfa before. Nearly
every farmer who raised alfalfa last
year Is adding to the acreage this sea.
son Three or four years o will
see alfalfa and corn the crops in this
section, IL we are not mistaken.-De

announcement of the first circus to ap-
pear in Dakota territory, on the 2Sth

in Yankton. In the proceedings of the

the city treasurer to "call upon the cir

A transient, giving his name as Jas.
McKan, stabbed Burl Thomas, another
transient, Monday evening in a box
car near the depot. 1t seems they had
travelled together. Thomas had had
500 so he states and McKan and an
other wanted some of it. He escaped
from them and sent the money away.
When he returned McKan went at him
with a knife and drove it into him neal
the right shoulder, breaking the blade
off and leaving over two inches of it in
the wound. He was taken at once to
Skogen & Harden's hospital and the
blade extracted. On Tuesday McKan
was brought into justice court and
bound over to the circuit court on the
charge of assault with intent to kill.
Thomas was able to be around the
next day. The third party appears to
have taken no part in the stabbing but
was put under a bond to appear as a
witness.-Flandreau Enterprise.

The biggest hay crop in the history
of Deuel. county is visible. The mea.
dows and pastures are three weeks
ahead of last year, and the grass is un-
usually heavy, due to the copious rains
and the warm weather. Deuel. county
has never sffered a failure of her hay
crop, and during the drouth year of
1911 she shipped many a carload to the
less fortunate sections of the last and
south, and sold her product at the
highest market price ever realized
here-$17 per ton on track. There is
always a market for Deuel. county
grass as experts claim it is the most
s%ucculent that grows, and the Courier
would urge that every ton in the coun-
ty be cut this year for shipment. There
is a big profit in it for every man who
gets busy and stacks up the precious
fodder.-Clear Lake Courier.

z That it is a dangerous practice to
utilize Rines hill as a coasting place
need hardly be said, but the fact was
forcibly demonstrated Friday afternoon
when a youngster ef less than a dozen
summers came down the hill presum-
edly for the purpose of trying his new
sled. In the first place the sled was
too large for the boy, and in the next
place it was apparent to those who
witnessed the incident that the boy
was new to the art of coasting, for
the sled undoubtedly took it's own
course, but the boy did not care for
that as long as he had his slide, Every
thing went well however until the
youngster had nearly reached the foot
1t was one of the big teams used by
a wholesale house on upper Water
street, and was just turning from the
street to go down to the Maine Cen
trail freight shed when the sled with
the boy came along, and in less time
than could be measured by the watch
the combination passed directly under
the horse and emerged from the other
side-safe. 1t would be difficult to
say which were the more frightened
the boy or the driver of the team, but
it is believed that the Youngsters
experience together with the advice
which was given him will prompt
resolution on his part to seek other
coasting places than Rines hill.

"Stop Thief Two Performances
Today.

stop Thief" a new farce. one OF
the seasons successful offerings by
Cohan and Harris, is said to be one OF
the most laughable plays theatregoers
have seen in blue moon or so. To
use a trite phrase. stop Thief is
as full of laughs as an egg is of meat.
The fun begins at the very rise of the
curtain and is continued at fast
and furious pace until the fall on
Act III.
The story of stop Thief is clever
and far out of the beaten path of
playwrights. William Carr is a good
natured, but very absent minded fell
low, one of whose daughters is to
marry James Cluney. Through the aid
of a new maid a sneak thief gains en-
trance to the Carr house. Valuable
pieces of jewelry and wedding pres
ents begin to disappear Certain in
cidents transpire which lead Carr and
Cluney each to think himself klep-
tomaniac, though neither suspects the
other. The young man telephones for
a detective to watch him. BY acci-
dent Cluney runs into the sneak thief.

Pure Rich Blood
Prevents Disease
Bad Blood Causes Most Ailments
Hoods SarsaparilIa Corrects Il.

Bad blood,-that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and pale,
is responsible for more ailments
than anything else.
1t affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh in
others, dyspepsia; in others rheuma-
tism; and in still others, weak, tired.
languid feelings and worse troubles.
It is responsible for run down con-
ditions, and is the most common cause
of disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla Is the greatest
purifier and enricher Of the blood the
world has ever known. 1t has been
wonderfully successful in removing
scrofula and other humors, increasing
the red-blood corpuscles, and building
up the whole system. 1t makes pure
rich blood. Ask your druggist for
Hoods today. Take it-give it to all
the family SO as to avoid illness
