THRESHERS AT WORK
GRAIN MARKETED In MADISON
AND SHIPPED-YIELD
Is GOOD.

Some threshing is being done
around Madison, but not much grain
is arriving at our elevators. Thresh-
ing has been held back on account
of frequent local showers. Several
farmers have begun hauling oats and
barley to this city, and the local grain
buyers pronounce the yield and quail
ity very good. Barley is yielding
around 45 bushels per acre and oats
40 to so bushels. Several large acre
ages of barley are reported. The
Farmers Elevator company has ship
ped six ars of new barley, all told
and yesterday they sent two carloads
of oats east. s. l.. Jamison, whose
farm lies three miles southwest 81
Madison, is selling both oats and bar
ley and has a total acreage of these
that will produce in the neighbor-
hood of 1000 bushels, or better
Should better weather conditions
prevail soon our local buyers will be
handling enormous quantities OF
small grain and its shipment is assur
ed by reason of the great number Of
cars that are thronging terminals
and sidings awaiting use in moving
the bumper crop.

FALLS IN CIsIERN


Little Cora Farrand, 2-year-old
daughter of Chef Ardell Farrand, of
the Lake Park hotel, came near
drowning a couple of days ago. The
little girl was endeavoring to walk
across the flat cover of the cistern at
the home of r. j.. Herrick, when the
cover tipped and let the child fall be-
low. AS chance would have IL, Mrs.
Herrfck and Mrs. Farrand were
standing close by and saw the girl
fall. The cistern was not a very deep
one, but contained five feet OF wa
ter. One scream from within vas
the only sound heard during the
child's descent. The mother and
neighbor, stunned at first, soon at
tempted rescue. They seized the first
means at hand-a roller towel and a
hoe. With the hoe the girl vas kept
on the surface until the towel could
be looped around her body. The
small victim of this accident certain
ly did bravely; for upon being told
TO grasp the hoe, she did so and soon
with the help of the roller towel, she
was safely rescued. While in the
water the motion of her hands moved
her body towards the side walls with
with her face submerged.

WHAT'S TIL REASON?
Many Madison People i'm Poor Health
Without knowing the Cause.

There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suf-
fering. Day after day they are rack
ed with backache and headache; suf-
fer from nervousness, dizziness,
weakness, languor and depression.
Perhaps the kidneys have fallen be-
hind in their work of ~filtering the
blood and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys. as
sist them in their work-give them
the help they need. You can use no
more highly recommended remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills-endrosed
by people all over the country and by
your neighbors in Madison.
John A. Norton, Egan avenue
Madison, says: MY kidneys trou-
bled me a lot. l had severe backache
and over my kidneys that
made it hard for me to bend over or
lift anything. My kidneys acted ir-
regularly. l used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they soon fixed my kidneys
up III good shape and stopped the
aches and pains in my back"

Sioux Falls, Aug. 23.-If Arthur /.

produce the wife he claimed when he
filled out his QUESTIONABLE. Not on
ly is he unlikely to do this. but the

accordingly he has been changed
from class 4 to class j. placed in the
August draft and will wait in the To-
cal jail as a Stacker until the contin-
gent leaves August 20 for Camp Fun

In fact, Daily did not stop at a
wife. He even made claim that be-
side his wife. he had children to feed.
The plan worked well until 10 days
ago when his mother and a man for
whom she was keeping house were
arrested on a statutory charge. Then
il developed that Daily was living
there and investigation proved that

MENNONITES MOVE
BEADLE COUNTY COLONY MOVE
TO CANADA-OPPOSED TO
WAR SERVICE.

Huron, Aug. 23.-Members of the
Lake Byron colony of Mennonites,
north of here, said farewell to Huron
yesterday when they left on a Great
Northern train for Bernard, Man,
Can, where they will make their flu
ture home. The train consisted of a
passenger coach bearing the men,
bers of the colony and IL emigrant
cars containing their household
goods.
The members go to Canada with
the understanding that they are to
be exempt from military service of
any kind. Their removal from South
Dakota is caused by the drafting of
several of their members for military
service. Their creed, which opposes
nearly every form of organized law,
forbids their men folk to engage in
any kind of war duties. Their law
places the law of the church above
the law of the land.
The Russian colonists originally
came from Germany, leaving the
kaiser's domain to escape compulsory
military service. They went to Rus
STA first, and upon the passage of a
universal military service law in that
country came to the United States at
the time Gen. Grant was president.
On reaching here they tried to get
the United States government to sign
a treaty with them exempting their
men from service in time of war.
President Grant at that time told
them that in his opinion the civil wal
was the last war that the CIVILIZED
world would ever witness.
Apparently satisfied with this
opinion the colonolsts came to the
western country and located on the
plains of South Dakota. Here they
resided in peace until 1898 when the
war with Spain broke out. They
then prepared to leave the country,
fearing CONSUMPTION of their men.
The trouble, however, soon blew over
and they continued to live here.
opinion the colonists came to the
ent war and the CONSUMPTION law was
passed the colonists Immediately took
steps to secure exemption from mill
tary service for the young men of the
colonies. The government was very
~lenient with them. granting them
partial exemption and giving their
men positions in the non-combatant
service only. This did not appear to
satisfy them, however, and they caus,
ed such a disturbance with their re.
peated requests for full exemption
and their apparent pro-German ten.
