STATE NEWS.

Geddes - Considerable damage
was caused Saturday afternoon by
prairie fires eastward from this city.
The fires were set by the afternoon
freights, IN set by the two going
each way. Lee Jewett lost his sea-
sons hay crop, fifty or sixty tons.
Others sustained smaller losses, and
only the heroic efforts of ~neighbors
prevented the destruction of several
settings of wheat stacks.
Lemmon-The value of alfalfa as
a fattening food for hogs. was DEM
onstrated here the other day when j..
j. Brickey brought into market a hog
dressing 304 pounds, which had been
fed on nothing but alfalfa. The pork
was much superior to corn fattened
pork. Mr.. Brickey has fifty-seven
tons OF alfalfa hay for winters use
cut from a field on which his hogs
were pastured all summer.
Brookings-About 1900 speci-
mems of South Dakota sands and
gravels were tested during the past
year by the experimental engineering
department of the State college un-

a great many sands unsatisfactory
for building purposes were being
used, and that in many cases 1t would
be desirable either to improve the
quality or to ship in some other ma
terial.
Sioux Falls-The mangled bodies
of c.. Lempke. a laborer, and Frank

were found last night in the Omaha
railway yards under circumstances
which indicated they had been struck
by the westbound Omaha passenger
train. One body was hurled a dis
lance of fifty yards. The train crew
apparently knew nothing of striking
the two men. Coroner Trepanier has
summoned a coroner's jury TO inves-
tigate the tragedy.
Isabel-The current issue of the
Isabel News contains the following:
Here's a little crop story we would
like to see someone duplicate. Clay
ton Stansberry rented a quarter for
$50. He figured ii was worth that
much TO him for hay. On the quar-
ter was ten acres that had been put
into wheat last year. This year a
volunteer crop came up from which
he just finished threshing 150 bush
els-15 bushels an acre of volunteer
wheat.

DAKOTA PROSPERITY
COL. GEORGE OF DEADWOOD
CARRIES FAVORABLE RE
PORT TO WASHINGTON.

Washington Post: Nature has
blessed this country with the most
bountiful crops we have ever
known" declared Col. j. A. George
of Deadwood, S. D., attorney for the
Sioux indians of the Pine Ridge res
eryation at the Willard. so abund-
ant have been the crops that the
farmers of my part of South Dakota
have been betting among themselves
as TO who would raise the greatest
yield 10 the acre. In one neighbor-
hood there must have been 81, 1000 or
more changed hands over the crops
of two small tracts, one an eight
acre field and the other a ten-acre
section. When the wheat was harS
vested and threshed the former had
produced As bushels to the acre, and
the ten-acre tract So bushels to the
acre. This on land that a few years
ago was not regarded as capable of
producing wheat or other grain. Up
in the Spearfish valley the farmers
are raising 40 bushels of wheat to
the acre and as high as 120 bushels
of oats. South Dakota also has be-
come a great hog section, and thou
sands of head of hogs have been
raised.
THE European war has taken
most of our surplus horses, and we
were more or less glad to get rid Of
them. The Indians of hat section
are prospecting, and many of them
have excellent farms. Nearly all of
the old tribesmen have passed away.
Red Cloud died a short time ago. and

MRS. GALT'S Ward
PRESIDENTS PHYSICIAN
WILL SOON BE AN
NOUNCED.

Washington, Oct. 27.-A well de-
fined rumor is in circulation that the
next White House omance will be
that of DR.. Cary Grayson, U. S. N.
personal friend and physician of the
president. whose engagement to Miss
Alice Gertrude Gordon, reports say,
will be announced within the next
few weeks.
Miss Gordon is a multimillionair-
ess. although by terms of her faith
er's will she can derive only a GER
tain income from her fortune until
her eldest child is 81 years old. Her
father, James j. Gordon, lived in con-
slant fear that his young daughter
hunters and left a rather unusual
will.
Mr.. Gordon died four years ago
and two years ago Miss Gordon filed
a caveat against his will. In her pa
pers she stated hat it was impossible
for a young woman to keep up her
position on an income of about
$4,000 a year, which was the sum set
aside for her annual expenses in her
fathers will.
She asked that Mrs. Normal Gait
be made her guardian.
After months of litigation between
Miss Gordon and the trust company
as executor of Mr.. Gordon's will, the
court decided hat she should have
between $4,000 and $4,000 each
year.
Miss Gordon's father was born in
Scotland and was a member of the
Gordon clan. He was a world fam
Gus bridge builder and had a large
part in the building of the famous
bridge of Scotland over the Firth o.
Forth near Edinburgh.
Miss Gordon made her debut two
years ago and has been a most pop
ular member of Washington society
ever since. Her handsome residence
on Sixteenth street is filled with ole
world relics, gathered by Miss Cor
don and her father during their wan
behring's through Europe and Asia.
Miss Gordon lost her mother in hel
early girlhood and her father anC
she always were great chums.

CLOSING CASE
CIRCUIT COURT ADJOURNED
AFTER TRIAL TO COURT OF
CASE OF HUNTER VS..
REYNOLDS.

Circuit court for Lake county adj
journed last evening after trial TO the
court of the case of Jennie S. Hunter,
ct al. VS.. Wellington r.. Reynolds,
local residents. The plaintiff is the
mother of Mr.. Reynolds, who sought
to more fully participate in the estate
of ellison S. Reynolds. another son,
who died in this city two years ago.
Deceased was a bachelor and a resi-
dent of New York city, joining his
relatives here a few weeks before mis-
death. The testimony showed that
the estate of deceased was appraised
at $4,000, of which w. r. Reynolds
was the administrator. OF the estate
$4,000 was in cash and bonds con
tanned in a safety deposit vault in a
bank in New York city. Just pre-
vious to his death deceased gave his
brother, w. r. Reynolds, the key to
the safety deposit box with written
authority to open the box and obtain
the securities, Mr.. Reynolds interpre-
ting the transaction TO mean that
the securities were a gift to himself.
Mr.. Reynolds proceeded to New York
city and obtained the securities and
in settling the estate as administrator
disbursed $4,000 among the lawful
heirs, retaining the $4,000 securi-
ties as a personal gift to himself.
Hence, the suit of the mother to
bring about a more equitable division
of the estate. Owing to the lateness
of the hour last evening when the
testimony was concluded argument in
the case was postponed until Novem-
Der 3 and will be heard in Sioux
Falls.

CITY MANAGER PLAN
GETS A HARD BLOW

to establish the city manager plan Of
government in Muscatine was dealt a
discouraging blow at meeting Of cit
liens at the Muscatine hotel when n
report submitted by Attorneys H. p.
Horst and w. r. Jayne raised serious
doubt as to whether the law passed at
the last general assembly was appli-
cable to special charter cities. The stat
ute does not make the act specifically
applicable to special charter cities and
as Muscatine operates under a special
charter, legal opinion expressed was to
the effect that such change in gov
eminent here would necessitate an
amendment to the city manager stat
ute which could not be obtained until
the legislature meets in 1917. If this
opinion is substantiated nothing can
be done for nearly three years.
