b o l d — C a p i t a l R e m o v a l T a l k . RBJDFIBLJ), 6. D.—Politics In South Dakota

Is at a low ebb. Both parties have held their state conventions and the nominees are before the people, but as yet there Is l i t t le talk over the state. The general, fueling among demo­crats and populists is that the result will be a. landslide for the republicans. All parties admit that the state was never more prosper­ous, and with the prospect of well-filled granaries and pc*»3ts before them, the farm­ing population is lesolved to let well enough alone.

Republicans are taking but little Interest in the .report that Pettlgrew and his affiliated political friends are endeavoring to form a now party. fThey look upon the movement •Imply as a personal one of Mr. Pettlgrew, started with the idea that ji& can by that means secure a large enough following to make him a factor in the organisation of the republican opposition two years hence He can never hope to regain the hold he once had on South Dakota politics.

Whllo Pettlgrew and his associates are hold­ing their conference, Senator Klttredge, one of tne objects of Pettlgrew'B wrath, is gain­ing the confidence of men of all parties. (The State is proud of the manner in which^ "Kit's" Statural abilities have been recognized in the senate. The people are especially gratified at his masterly address for the Panama canal route.

The capital removal question will undoubt­edly be prominent Defore the next legislature. The candidates for the new location are Hu­ron, 'Mitchell and Redfleld Indications are that the Chicago & North-Western railroad Will cross the Missouri at Forest City, thus giving Redileld an opening to the west and vastly increasing her importance aa a railroad center. Pirrre is busy, as usual, "building railroads from Duluth on the north and Sioux City on the south and the Black Mills, but paper roads will not cut the figure in the coming campaign that they did in the first fight.

"WEST S U P E R I O R , W I S . The senatorial convention for the eleventh

district, which has been in session ior two flays, adjourned yesterday without making a nomination. It will be called to order again Aug 19. , Douglas county land owners want special

?ermi8sion from the state legislature to bond he county to the extent of JloO.OOO. It is

Intended, if such permission can be obtained, to expend the money on the construction of 800 miles of new road. The county has only a few roads and this is preventing the open­ing of the land for farming purposes. It is planned to limit the amount to be expended, if the new scheme goes through, to $300 a mile.—A writ of certiorari has been demanded by Attorney T L Mcintosh, the representa­tive of the citizens' committee, requiring the county clerk to appear in court with the rec­ords of the county board's meetings at which were passed numerous tax settlements. These cases cover all the different kinds of settle­ments made by the county board for years, and, although these particular cases do not involve great sums, if they go against the property owners it will mean the loss of many thousands to different big property own­ers Mr. Mcintosh says the board has no authority to make such settlements as have been made For Instance, after certain taxes were tied up for several years by law suits, settlement was effected with the county board at the rate of 40 cents on the dollar.

SIOUX CITY, I O W A The circuit court of appeals, Sanborn,

judge, has reversed the finding of Judge Shiras, of the federal district court for north­ern Iowa, sn the Sioux county bond cases. In the early seventies the school directors of the rural Independent school districts of town­ships of Lvon and Allison were guilty of the rankest corruption in issuing bonds. They issued bonds amounting to many tens of thousands of dollars. Most of these were re­funded in 1881, and all that were not sued on berore June, 1901, are out-lawed. The dis­tricts were sued on about $50,000. The state constitution forbids issuing bonds in excess of 5 per cent of the taxable valuation. The 5 per cent formed- but a tithe of the bonds, which contained a recital that they were within the constitutional limit. This, th-> bondholders held, estopped the districts from making the defense that they were illegal be­cause in excess of the limit. Judge Shiras held the bondholders were charged with notice because the recital referred to a reso­lution by (the board, hut the court of ap^ peals reverses him —S. P. Wickham, his face almost hidden behind a huge purple bpw pinned on the left lapel of his coat, waited patiently at the North-We3tern station yes­terday for Mrs. Lena Carroll of Kansas City, Mo., Whose blushing countenance beamed with anticipation above a duplicate blue bow pinned to her left shoulder They were married last night at the bridegroom's home.

TAKINGJI0 PART La F o l l e t t e K e e p s H a n d Off I n C o n ­

g r e s s i o n a l C o n t e s t . MLAJDISON, WIS.—The date for the second

district republican congressional convention •was fixed by the -committee late yesterday afternoon for Sept. 3, the same day as the democratic state convention. Portage was se­lected as the meeting-place.

For more than an hour the committee was tied, 3 and 3, on the date for the convention. The Dane and Jefferson county members voted 'for September 16, which would enable the caucuses to be held at the same time as thoae for legislative nominees, while the northern members wanted the convention held Aug 36. A compromise was finally reached.

One effect lof the earlier date will toe to separate the congressional and legislative contests, and in this both the Adams and Dahle men see an advantage. ~~C E. Buell, who has (been talked _of as a third Dane county candidate, With the administration backing, has not announced his candidacy, and it is not now believed he will «nter the field. Neither is there any apparent founda­tion that Congressman Dahle has adjusted Tils differences with the governor, and will have tho administration, support. So far the governor has not given evidence of any in­tention to mix up in the congressional flght.

The state 'board of control holds its regu­lar monthly meeting next week, beginning Moiday afternoon, and it is expected that a warden of the state prison will be elected. A superintendent of the state school for the deaf at Oelavan will also have to be chosen, but this will probably be done at the fol­lowing meeting. Superintendent C. P. Carey, who is the republican nominee for superin­tendent of instruction, will probably send his resignation to the (board next week, to take effect about Sept. 1.

There is a report that the prison warden-ship is practically settled, tout members of the board insist that it is still an open ques­tion, and that the decision will not be made until the board gets together for a final dis­cussion of the matter next week. John Han­nifin of Milwaukee, Sheriff 'E. F. Burmelster of this city, Sheriff J. C. McKenzie of Co­lumbia county and Chief of iPollce CH. C. Baker of iMadison are among those who have been talked of for the place.

executive council, Governor Cummins to-day transmitted to the Des Moines Trades and Labor Assembly a letter, expressing the council's refusal to remove the telephones of t'he Iowa company from the state capitol. Recently, representatives of the striking elec­trical workers and operators appeared before the council and asked that the Iowa 'phones be removed. The council considered the re­quest and by its direction the governor has answered. The gist of the governor's reply is that regardless of the individual sympa­thies of ithe members of the council, that body feels it has no right to Issue an1 order that will make the state of Iowa a party to a boycott.

The ordering of the Iowa 'phones out of the buildings of the state would have been a hard blow to the company. In all, there are thirty instruments ot the company in the capitol, the historical 'building and the pumping station. -

x FARGO, N. D.—Professor Henry L. Bolley of the botanical department of the state agri­cultural college has issued a bulletin giving directions for saving flax seed to escape flax wilt and flax-sick soil. He says, In part:

I think Ithat many farmers are now con­vinced that there is a definite disease of flax which may well be called '-'flax wltt." There are also many who are aware of the face that soil may become flax-sick, so sick, In­deed, that no more flax will grow upon it. Now Is the time |for growers to do the work, for it becomes more and more certain that the disease will remain in the soil for many years when once introduced. As yet, we have been unable to find any economic treatment of flax-sick land which will again make it fit to grow a crop of flax. The disease is Introduced Into new soils by way of the seed. To avoid doing this it will be necessary to take about all of the following precaution­ary steps in the saving of seed for future crops: (1) Study your flax as It Is growing In the field; (2) select a patch which is of even growth, free from weeds and sure to ripen; (8) learn to know the plants which are sick with the wilt 'disease and look carefully for such dry wilted plants in the drills throughout the area; (4) if you can find a patch which is free from diseased plants, save thjjJi4ax».j:or seed; at this time, new flax land is apt to be most free from the disease; (5) thresh >it when dry; store it dry In a clean bin; (7) grade this seed In a fanning mill until only plump Ibright colored seeds remain; then (8), treat the seed by the formaldehyde spray and shovel method.

Every one of these steps are necessary ones in the process of preventing the, occurrence of flax-sick soil. One must raise and select his own seed from the field, because a gen­eral oron will almost always have some dis­ease In it. and elevators are ifull of diseased samples. Damp flax seeds collect and hold the s&ores of the disease. Unless flax is all ripe the Immature flax will make the rest damp. As one cannot be sure that there are no diseased plants in the crop, it is necessary that all of the bits of straw land chaff shall be removed, for the treatment is not strong enough to kill the parasite in such straws and chaff. If such particles are., sowed with the seed, the disease will be started in the soil. It Is also very evident that no scaly, shriv­eled flax seeds should be put In the ground; for it is found that the wilt fungi live inside of such seeds, and thus treatment of such will be ineffectual. One should treat the sound, plump seeds in order to kill any free-lying spores which may be^amongst or upon them. * Further Precautions.—After this care has been taken with the seed, il recommend these further precautions: First—Sow all flax on a compact, even seed ted. Second—Sow flax seed as shallow as possible and yet have it well covered. Third—Sow small areas to flax, and never follow flax by flax until several years have intervened. S. recommend the fol­lowing series of crops until we have learned reasons for a better one: First, flax; second, wheat, oats or barley; third, corn or other cultivated crop or fallow; fourth, wheat; fifth, grass; sixth, {grass; seventh, pasture one or more years, then flax if desired.

Flnallyv do not allow any flax istraw or waste to get into the manure. 'Burn it. It will be impossible to feed flax straw and not have flax-sick land wherever such manure is applied* Find some way, if (possible, by which practically all the flax stubble may be raked or scraped out of the land and burned before flax stubble land is flowed.

I sincerely hope that the farmers of this Btate may appreciate the serious nature of. this LSOII disease i*nd begin at once to take all necessary precautions to keep their farms free from the trouble. At the experiment station we hold ourselves ready to answer all ques­tions which we can answer promptly, and desire to learn from any farmer such experi­ence as he may have had with the disease, success with methods of seed treatment, and success of failure with method3 of cultivating.

. A WRECK AT ETTER 4

HASTINGS, MINN.—Peter Burns of Lake City, fireman, and an 'unknown tramp were killed" last evening In a wreck on the Chica­go, ' Milwaukee & St. Paul road at Etter. North-bound passenger- train tfo. 6 crashed into ten box cars supposed to have been left there after Switching by freight No. 74, which had- received orders to go to Red Wing in consequence of the west-bound pas­senger being late. Subsequent orders caused No. 74 to igo on a siding at iBggleston, and when the .passenger came up its engine dashed into and telescoped the care.

The passenger train consisted of eight cars. It was making about forty miles an hour at the time of the accident. The engine ard tender went down the embankment, carrying the mail car off the rails. The coaches kept the itrack and none of the passengers was seriously hurt. Several were badly shaken up, but escaped with a few scratches. The mail clerk and an express messenger were badly bruised.

William ChadWick, the engineer, was ter­ribly burned by Che escaping steam and was also severely bruised about the head and body. He Is toeing^cared for at Red Wing; recovery is doubtful. A boy riding in ono of the vestibules of the smoking-car had his right foot crushed and it was necessary to amputate' two toes.

The ten freight cars were loaded with oata and bran and the feed was scattered all over the track. Six of the cars were sent half a mile up the track by the force of the col­lision. Three ot the box cars >were totally demolished.

Burns was found about twenty minutes after the wreck, Ijuried under the oab. His body was terribly mangled. The unidenti­fied tramp was found in a ditch about thirty feet from the derailed mail car. *

The through passengers were taken to Min­neapolis on a special train.

RED ^VINiG, MINN.—The two men killed In the Milwaukee collision at Etter last night were brought to this city and an inquest is being held this afternoon. The cause of the collision 'is supposed to have been the neg­ligence Of the brakeman of the freight train •who was ordered to couple the freight cara to the train, and Conductor 'Driscoll started off, thinking this was done. Drlscoll is said to have disappeared after hearing of the dis­aster.

He said he had become accustomed to the surroundings, although it took some time to realize that he had lost his liberty and was under lock and key. He finds the nights rather long and wearisome, as lights must be put out at 9 p. m., and he wakes the next morning long before it is time to go to work. He said if be was not released from prison within six months "the ghost would walk," meaning he would tell on others who were implicated with him.
