posed of the Fred Bergstreser farm,
comprising 240 acres, three miles

the purchaser and the price paid was

HELEN SHIPMAN
REMARKABLE DRAMATIC CA
REER OF A MEMBER OF THE
BROADWAY PLAYERS.

That truth Is stranger than fic-
ton is no more vividly demonstrate
ed than in the remarkable dramatic
career of Helen Shipman. Although
one of the youngest leading women
on the American stage, Miss Ship
man has already won glowing trib-
utes of praise from press and public
for her marvellous Characterization
of famous roles. From Juliet, in
Romeo and Juliet, to Peg in Peg o
My Heart, is a far cry, but Miss Ship
mans amazing versatility, makes her
at home in parts, as widely varied.
Her beautiful conception and portray
al of Mary Ann in Merely Mary Ann
or Glad in The Dawn of a Tomorrow,
or Sunday in The Unwritten Law is a
picture. which must linger long
and lovingly, like a tender memory,
in the minds of critical theater
goers. Far from the misty confines
of the theater, the spectator is
transported by the supple art of this
talented young woman, and her SUI
perb acting sc convincing in its mas
terful simplicity soothes one like
June zephyrs from hills where daisies
blow. One need but watch an audi
ence dispense from the playhouse in
which Helen Shipman is appearing to
realize the effect of her artistry, the
mischievous twinkle of the eye, the
naughty whisk of the skirt or the
frivolous giggle that n so often
observe may be missing, but voices
have grown more tender. ways gen
tier, hearts kinder. It's all the won
derful magic of this little woman's
personality. a strange, elusive frag-
rance that is waited over the foot
lights and spread out amongst us and
makes us better.
Helen Shipman will appear at the
opera house in town on Monday and
Tuesday next with the famous Broad
way Players. Much interest Is al
ready evidenced in the engagement OF
this eminent attraction in the forth.
coming production Of The Devil.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Aug. Especial: In
Kovno ii is asserted that the Ger
mans are in pursuit of the Russians
to the east of Poniewesch. They APP
parently are proceeding eastward to-
ward the Dvinsk-Vilna railway line,
the capture of which would sever
communication from Petrograd to
Poland.
On the western front comparative
calm prevails in Belgium and France,
while along the Austro-Italian lines
the same kind of fighting that has
been in progress for weeks continues.
On the diplomatic side of the war.
Germany, in a note TO the American
government, adheres to her previous
claim that the sinking of the Amer
lean ship William p. Frye, laden
with wheat for England, was justifi-
able and not in contravention of the
Prussian-American treaty or interna-
tional law.
Germany again offers to pay for
the ship. and accepts the American
proposal that the amount of damages
be fixed by two experts, one to be Sc
lected by each country.
A French prize court has confirmed
the capture of the American steamer
Dacia, loaded with cotton for Ger
many. 1t is expected that the United
States government will protest the
decision, which carries with it tht
seizure of the steamer but not of hel
cargo. An appeal will be a test cas-,

AN EYEOPENER
MADISON AND HER SUMMER RE-
SORT SUGGESTS PREACHING
SOUTH DAKOTA FIRST.

Vermillion Republican: The 1915
summer meeting of the South Dakota
Press association was one long to be
remembered. The members were
most royalty entertained by the good
people of Madison. On Thursday we
were guests at both the afternoon
and evening performances of the
great Hagenbeck & Wallace circus,
when the management gave us the
free run of everything on the grounds
which proved to be a most satisfac-
tory i~nitiatory event of the pleasant
time of the summer meeting. Friday
morning we established our head
quarters out at the lake and here the
real fun of the session was inaugu-
rated with a big swim in the lake.
With the gravel bottom and sandy
beaches, it is an ideal bathing resort.
and there was hardly a moment of
the day when some members of our
party were not enjoying this privi-
lege to the fullest extent. But where
the writer of this article enjoyed him
self the most was while engaged in
piscatorial pursuits at some of the
many excellent fishing grounds af-
forded at this splendid summer re-
sort. Newspaper men at the meeting
did not seem to be very greatly in
terested in this class of sport, but we
found enough of the boys to make
up enjoyable fishing parties, and the
way we went after the perch and bull
heads was a caution. And we were
more thar fairly successful. We

caught enough of the perch and bull
heads to make up for the real sport
of bass fishing, and those fish break
fasts and dinners hat we enjoyed
will remain as one of the most pleas
ant memories of the session.
The visiting editors were treated
to a banquet in royal style at the din
ing room at the park on Friday even
ing of the summer session. Madison
people came out from town in large
numbers to mingle with the editors
and make them feel that they were
indeed welcome to the city and to the
delightful summer resort which is
one of the city's biggest assets. Mad
ison people told how much they
thought of the editors, and the edit
ors told how much they thought of
the Madison people and the city and
surroundings. Ii vas an eye opener
to a number of us who had never be
fore visited Madison or the beautiful
lake which bears the same name
And while we were enjoying the sur
roundings the thought came TO US
that If South Dakota people only
realized what splendid opportunitie:
/, for summer outings are afforded
within the borders of the state, there
would be less of the wandering ovel
the land in search of summer pleas
ures. And the consensus of editoria
opinion seemed to be that to preach
: South Dakota First" would be the
right and proper thing to do.
The city of Madison is a mode

WEATHER and CROPS
1T WAS A COLD WEEK, SAYS
SOUTH DAKOTA Wealth
ER MAN.

Huron, Aug. 6.-The South Da-
kota branch of the federal weather
bureau has issued here the following
bulletin on the weather in the state
for the week ending Tuesday, Au-
gust g.:
Cool weather prevailed during the
week, except in the middle portion,
when it was moderately warm. Show
ers We're of frequent occurrence.
Many of those were heavy and some
excessive. The sunshine was consid-
erably less than the normal. The
ground is very wet, causing haying
and harvesting as we'll as other farm
work to be interrupted. Crops gen
orally are doing well. The harvest
ing of winter wheat. rye, barley and
oats has been in progress, except
where interrupted by wet weather.
In some localities the harvesting of
those crops has been practically COM
pleted, with a large yield. Spring
wheat is ripening and much of it is
ready for cutting. Dry weather is
needed for this work, however, as the
ground is soft due to the wet wealth
er. Some grain has lodged, but dam
age from this cause is generally re-
ported not to be serious. Corn is still
backward, due to cool and wet
weather, but it is growing rapidly
and looks well. Meadows and pas
lures are in excellent condition and
stock continued in prime condition

NOTE AGAINST GERMANY
RATHER THAN ENGLAND

AMSTERDAM, April I (via London).
Commenting on the published sum
mary Of the American note to Great
Britain. the Cologne Gazette says:
1T appears to be note against
Germany rather than against England,
and IT is SO framed that England may
leave II unnoticed without having rea-
son to fear any serious steps from tho
American government.
Against Germany. however. AL
though in a yelled manner. the re-
proach is made that she does not OBJ
serve the principles OF warfare as
recognized by civilized countries. The
note. In fact, gives the impression Of
an anti-German measure. since It af-
fords England certitude that she may
continue her illegal blockade of Ger
many. 1t Is carte blanche for the
English war of starvation.
Thus ends this second American
protest against tho sea tyranny OF
England as pitiably az did the first
America submits to every English act
OF violence. while she continues eager
ly to supply our enemies with arms
and other material, and even advances
them money for these supplies"
