ABDICATION APPEALS
.Obstinancy With Which He
Clings to the Throne Bringing
Him Into Bad Favor.

Zurich, Nov. 5.-The o~bstinancy with
which william HohenzoIlern is clinging
to the throne is making a bad impress
sion in Berlin political circles. the COR
respondent indicates.
1t Is reported that In an attempt to
save the crown he took the head of a
cabal gotten UP by the military party
against h government but that the
latter was toe solidly established.
Any plot which aims at the establish
ment OF a military dictatorship has no
chance OF success, the message declares.
1t appears that the emperor Is now
refusing to take any notice of the acts
Of the government. Everything Is rep
resented as depending upon the atti-
tude the great general stan may adopt.
The socialist Vorwaerts im%portunes
the emperor to prove his courage by
Indicating as an immense majority OF
the people are against him. The Frank
fort Gazette and the Munich Neuste
Nachrichten express themselves SINH
larly.

SUGAR RATioNs ARE
TO BE INCREASED

Aberdeen, S. D., Nov. &C. N. Her
reid, food administrator for South Da-
kota, made the following announce
ment:
According to advice from Mr.. Hoov-
er, commencing November / the sugar
allotments will be three pounds per
person per month, and for all public
eating places at the rate Of three
pounds for 90 meals. This change Is
due to the rapid manufacture Of the
new crop of beet sugar in the west
and the new crop Of Louisiana cane
sugar in the south, together with the
freer railway transportation conditions.
The reductions that we have made in
the consumption of sugar In the manu-
featuring trades and the patriotic con-
%servation in the past o u months en-
ables us to increase the household al
lowance of sugar from two pounds per
person per month to three"
Accordingly today Mr.. Herreid in
structed all retailers to make sales on
the sugar card system at the rate Of
three pounds per person from Novem-

MISSING HARVEST
HAND BEING SOUGHT

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. A state
wide search has commenced for Cliff
ford E. Belor, a young Missourian, who
mysteriously disappeared some weeks

He was q harvest hand, and this sea-
son, after working In Kansas, came
to South Dakota. For a time he
worked in the vicinity of Tulare and
later in the vicinity Of Columbia. The
last heard from him by his relatives
was q letter dated September Z and
written in Aberdeen. In the letter
he inclosed $40 for the home folks.
The missing man is about IS years
of age, but would pass for 10 or 20.

SOUTH DAKOTA CROPS
FAR ABOVE AVERAGE

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 6.-The depart
ment Of agriculture's october report
has been forwarded 70 the state immi-
grafton department. Comparing with
the earlier months, II is observed that
maturing of the corn and marketing
the grain indicates more definitely the
immense crop grown, n the new re-
ports credit the state with 1879 per
cent crop production. Z per cent bet
ter than the estimate of last month.
The new report places South Dakota
II per cent ahead of the best state
which joins u border, and rs per
cent ahead of the third best, while
the entire United States produced only
SO per cent of a full crop.
South Dakota, like every other agri-
cultural state, has not always en-
joyed the very best good fortune, but
to produce the best crop ever known
in any state, to be sold at the highest
price for half a century, is a fortu-
nate condition.

day, all night, and most of the next

pies, and, Of course, a lot of good
men, too.
II sure hope the states never get so
near all in they are compelled to call
out such men. One old man ever had
a wooden leg. Several of them were
cross eyed, and one had the worst
Neart l have yer heard. Some Of them
were boys IS and 10 years old and had
seen from Is months to two years

but were the dirtiest bunch l ever saw.

I'm doing all l can TO keep them from

got them bread to eat, gave them
water to drink, and cigarets. We

our men go to. ] sure hope our men
get half us good treatment as we
give them, when they are captured.

ter and a doctor. We let the doctor
dress some OF his w men. He was
a good doctor and spoke some English.
They seemed rather pleased at the
treatment we ave them and also
