new TOWN
VILLAGE TO REPLACE SARANAC
PROBABLY WILL RISE
NEARER MADISON.

A new town, which will take the
place of Saranac, about fourteen
miles southwest of Madison, on the
Milwaukee railway, is due to spring
up in the very near future. Present
indications are that the new village
will be located on the Joe Henkir
farm, about ten miles southwest OF
Madison. The present Saranac
townsite is located only a couple OF
miles or so from the village Of Ches-
ter. on the Waterfowl & Sioux Falls
railway.
George Farmer, local attorney for
the Milwaukee railway, today re
ceiyed a telegram from Capt. l.. b.
Beardsley, division superintendent oil
the railway at Sioux City. asking thai
Mr.. Henkin be advised that the com.
pany's engineer would arrive here 10.
morrow, with a view to locating The
new townsite.
There has long been talk of NOV
ing Saranac, on account of its close
proximity TO Chester. Formerly
there was a depot, section house anc
elevator at the station. The eleya-
tor. owned by j. c. Carpenter. OF
Canton, was burned about two
months ago.
Mr.. Henkin said today that there
are already in prospect for the new
town. besides a depot, a grain ele-
vator and q bank.

EXPECT fine RACES
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
HARNESS HORSES NOW ON
THE MADISON CIRCUIT.

Present indications are that the
largest number of horses that ever
competed for Lake county fair purses
will be entered in the races which
will be held at the fair grounds Sep
TENDER 6, Z and s.
A. G. Schmidt, secretary of the
Lake County Agricultural society, to-
day received word that 100 trotting
and pacing horses had been entered
in the Lyon county, la, fair at Rock
Rapids, which is being held this
week. The Lyon county fair is on
the same racing circuit as the Lake
county fair. 1t is expected that a
majority of the horses entered at
Rock Rapids this week will start at
F%landreau next week and come here
the following week. According to
precedent, some of the horses at
Rock Rapids this week will drop out
and new ones will be added before
the various strings of "steppers" ar
rive here.
1t is reported that many Of the
horses, which have been on the
Northwestern Iowa circuit since the
latter part of July, are now in the
best possible condition, and it is an
~ticipated that the races here will be
hard fought and that some good
marks will be hung up.
Entries for the Lake county fair
close tomorrow night. Owing to the
fact that their horses might get hurt
or show bad form. thereby causing
them TO lose the amount of their en-
try fees. most veteran race horse
owners and drivers seldom enter
their horses until the last day. To
accept entries from owners of horses
now at Rock Rapids, Mr.. Schmidt
will leave tonight for Rock Rapids.
The fair secretary will be accom-
panied by j. f. Runchey, who enjoys
the acquaintance of a large number
of drivers and owners on the North
western Iowa circuit.
If weather permits, the work OF
leveling off the race course at the
fair grounds will be started tomor.

EARTH YIELDS SPIRITS
NOT GHOSTS, But REAL .O0ZF
IL DUG Up IN MADISON.

Developments today indicate hat
the whisky crop here has outstripped
the potato yield.
While digging this forenoon at the
rear of their store on West Fourth
street, Fred Kurth and his son, Fred
Kurth, jr.. uncovered a 32-gallon
barrel of whisky. which is believed
to have been buried about a year.
There is much speculation Of opinion
as TO the quality of the liquor. which,
it Is said, has not yet been sampled.
The Messrs. Kurth were digging Il
%hatchway TO the cellar. under the
southwest corner of the building
The younger Mr.. kurth's spade came
in contact with the end of a pipe,
which he tried TO break by striking
it with the implement i'm hand. The
pipe remained intact. and investiga-
ton was made. with the result that
the barrel of whisky was located at
one end of the pipe, about three feet
underground. Mr.. Kurth at once
communicated the news of the find
to Chief of Police Winesburg and
Sheriff Butts, who took charge of
the liquor.
1t is believed that the whisky was
buried about a year ago by a boot
logger. who formerly occupied the
premises and against whom there Is
still a charge here Of illegally selling
liquor. The pipe at one time ran
from the barrel to the interior Of the
basement.

YIELD FAIRLY GOOD
THRESHING MACHINES AT WORE
In NEARLY ALL FIELDS.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 21.-Threshing
machines throughout South Dakota
now have commenced operations and
are revealing the extent of the dam
age done to the small grain crop OF
the state by the excessively hot and
dry weather which prevailed the
greater part of July. In many in
stances the threshing of small grain
shows the yield much better than ex-
peeted, while in other cases the yield
is shown below estimates and OF
very poor quality.
The corn crop of South Dakota has
been saved by recent rains and now
i sin good condition, especially in the
eastern and southern sections of the
state, which are the chief corn grow
ing districts. Corn has attained a
great growth and fields for the most
part show immense ears, which will
make the yield per acre unusually
heavy. AS the corr acreage of South
Dakota was very materially increased
this season the crop promises to be
one of the largest of the kind ever
produced In the state.

ARMY To INVADE
JUAREZ IN WEEK
Military Authorities at Ell PaSo
Are Prepared to March
Across Border.
International News Service +.

International News Service:
Ell PASO. Texas. June 24.-Un-
less there is a decided change for the
better in the situation very shortly.
an American army of invasion will
take Juarez within a week. and very
shortly thereafter. move southwark
down the railway line in Mexico TO
Villa Ahumada and Chihuahua City.
This we'll founded report was
spread broadcast along the border
today and even crossed the Rio
Grande into Juarez itself.
There it aroused the anger and de-
fiance of the Mexican leaders. This
formal defiance was issued by Andres
Garcia, Carranza consul in FL Paso.
who has spent most Of his time in
Juarez since the situation became
acute:
If il is the plan to attack Juarez.
the American army will find us ready
We are not going to give up without
a fight that will give a new idea of
the ability of Mexicos soldiers
Every one of our citizens is ready to
take up arms"
Guns UnmaSked.
While Garcia was thus defying the
might of the United States. Carran-
zista soldiers, with rifles ready and
machine guns unmasked, took up
their position at the Mexican end of
the International bridge. They were
grim evidence that the Mexicans in
tend TO fight. Indeed. there was no
doubt of this intention on the border
after the Mexican government as
sumed responsibility for the attack
on American soldiers at Carrizal.
This assumption removed the issue
from the field of diplomacy.
For a long time they have been
heartening their men with stories
that the Americans are afraid and
hundreds Of Mexican troops actual
" believe it.
The lack of aerOplanes is causing
the greatest worry to the officers who
are aware of the plans to move into
Mexico 1t is known that sky scouts
have been requested from the gov
eminent, but for some reason Or
other there has been no response. |
This. despite the lesson learned at
Carrizal where a single scout plane
might have avoided the trapping Of
the 10th cavalry soldiers or at least
carried news Of the treachery back
to Pershing within a couple of hours
Army is Blind.
If the aeroplane is the eve Of the !

seems quite blind.
