quiet , which will enable him to regain bis
strength.
Ilnyrvnrd Much Improved.
BROWNV1LLE. Neb. , Aug. 17. ( Special
Telegram. ) The condition of Senator Hayward -
ward at an early hour this morning was very
much Improved nnd his family thought that
they might be able to remove him to Ne
braska City during the day. The attending
physicians , however , were not quite willing
to accede to this request until after lu
o'clock , when the senator's condition showed
so great an Improvement that consent was
given for the Journey. A special train was
at once provided and every effort made to
give the senalor as easy a trip as was pos
sible. Just before noon the preparations
were completed and the Injured man was
driven very carefully lo Iho depot. No 111
effects were noticeable from the transfer to
the train , The physicians consider that the
senator Is now out of danger , though thcro
Is always the possibility of a relapse. He
is , however , very much stronger lhan yes
terday , and with the care he Is receiving
there Is but lltlle doubt of his speedy re
covery.
The Inquiries from over the slate con
tinue to bo received and the telephone and
telegraph operators are being kept busy.

SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , Aug. 17. ( Special. )
Now that harvest Is nearlng completion
he scarcity of help In the harvest fields
hrou&hout the state Is not so acute as It
was a week or two ago , although In some
ocalltlcs a scarcity still exists. The rail-
oads responded nobly to the demands of the
armcrs for harvest hands , and thousands
f men have been brought Into South Dakota
rom outside points , and those who were
eally anxious for work were speedily en-
aseil by farmers at high wages , which still
irevnll. The towns of the state also con-
rlbuicd a large number of men to the
harvest fields , and the result Is that the
carclty of laboring men has extended to the
owns , In many places public Improvements
> elng temporarily at a standstill until work
n the harvest fields Is completed and suf
ficient help can be secured to continue and
complete Iho Improvements.
The following Items show the prcJcnt con-
Illlon throughout the state with respect to
he great number of harvest hands employed ,
ho liberal wages offered and paid , the ex
perience of various farmers with members
of the genuine "hobo" class who always
oln the Influx of honest laboring men , and
although seemingly not anxious for work
themselves , remain In the state In hopes
of having "rich picking" by fleecing honest
men out of their earnings ,
Cyrus Ingham , a Hughes county farmer ,
has been trying to employ a farm hand for
three months at $40 per month and board.
He offered the place lo a Iramp , who refused
it , saying It would cost $4.50 per day to
enjoy the novelty of seeing him toy with a
pitchfork.
Farmers around Armour are still com
plaining of the scarcity of help. It Is a
poor hand who cannot get $2 a day In that
section.
Very few hoboes have passed through
Hlghmore this season. This is regarded as
probably due to the fact that the demand
for hands In that section Is greater than
the supply. "The average hobo , " remarks
the Hlghmore Bulletin , "has no use for a
country where work Is plenty. "
llobocn Come In Drorc .
At Madison it Is said the hoboes who are
dropping Inlo town In droves are not beg
ging for rations from house to house , as
has been the custom In other years. They
all seem to have a little money , and , In
addition , work Is so plentiful that there Is
no occasion for them to He Idle * . Nearly
all of them go north from Madison , pre
ferring to travel on than work for $40 to
$43 per month. Many of the Incomers ore
a hard lot , nnd not desirable farm hands.
It Is estimated that 2,000 of them have
passed through Madison this season.
In the vicinity of Bowdle farmers found It
difflcult to get the necessary help to take
care of the crop. The wages are the highest
that have been paid for several years.
At Pierre the city authorities are unable
to secure men to assist In putting In new
water mains or to cut the weeds along the
sidewalks. About thirty or forty of the
"arfhy of unemployed" could drop Into good
and lasting siluallons In Pierre If they
would put In an appearance there.
The Waterlown Kampesklan says of condi
tions there and In that vicinity : "The trav
eling gentry who are taking their annual
s'ummer excursions.'th'ro'i sh 'thisVtate ' , trav
eling on box cars , are demanding $2.50 per
day for their services. "When $1.60 Is offered
they want $2 , and when $2 per day Is sug
gested they at once raise to $2.50. If you
tried to hire them at $2.50 they wouldn't turn
over their hand for less than $3. Every beer
party shows the straits to which the poor
fellows are put , striving to drown their sorrows
rows In the cheerful 'growler. ' "
The number of harvest hands arriving at
Aberdeen is greater than during any like
period for the last five years. The number
needed has until recently exceeded the sup
ply. Nearly 200 arrived In one day. Not
withstanding the great Influx there are few
of them loft In the city over night. The
number of colored men Is larger than
ever before.
A great big hobo struck Vlborg the other
day and said ho was looking for work.
When told that he could get a. Job to shock
grain nt $2 per day and board he said ho
would not work at such a price , and that
he was on his way to North Dakota. Later
ho approached the town marshal and asked
permission to start a poker game , lolling
Ihe officer ho would clve him $40 or $50
for a three nights' run. The marshal told
him ho had struck the wrong town and to
dear out , which he did , heading for
Yankton.
One day last -week John Parson * , living
near Hurley , got a couple of "harvest
hands" to help him. They got their dinner ,
supper , lodging and breakfast , after which {
they moved on. They set up ten shocks ,
each during the afternoon that they worlfftl.
In seme parts of 'Marshall ' county the
towns are dcserled 'by ' laboring men and all
available help has been brought Into requisi
tion In the harvest fields , and yet It Is said
the supply Is not equal to the demand.
The other day two strapping fellows en
tered a Montrose newspaper office und alzed
up the maps to find their -way to the north
part of the state on their 'bicycles. Another
party also declared It as their desire to go
farther north for work , as they claimed.
Upon being Informed that employment t
could be secured anywhere around Montrose
the mec held up their hands in horror. They
evidently wanted anything except -work , and
didn't propose to "go up against the real
thing. "
From Bridgewater It is reported that har
vest help Is still scarce In that locality. The
wages offered are $1.75 and $2 .per day. Sev
eral fellows lurking around the water tank
at the depot have refused offers to work at
these figures.
A tramp tiring of life and apparently ap
palled by the great amount of work In sight
understock to bang himself at Parker with
one of the long ropes used in pulling Ice
Inlo the cars. He was discovered and the at
tempt at self-deetruction was fruslrated.
At Esmond the scarcity of harvest help
has Induced some of the 'business men to go
to the rescue of the farmers. Landlord
Hodgson and Postmaster Sheets are among
thoee who have gone to the harvest fields
and are doing valiant service.
"A good many of Ibe hobo harvest hands
are returning south and easl , " says the Dell

PIERRE , S. D. , Aug. 17. ( Special. ) The
State Board of Assessment and Equalization
has completed Its work for another year ,
and In the work has radically departed from
metboda followed by former boards. In
Ihe past the returns from various county
officials have been used as a basis , and all
counties brought to an average on the re
turns so sent In. The most radical change
on that line was taken on the advice of
the attorney general , who holds that It la
within the power of the stale board to In
crease any and all assessments In the itate
up to actual value If the board so desires.
That as an assessment board of corporate
property It is the duty of the board to
atsei * luch property , and thezx to , * i an
equalization and assessment board , to equalf
\ta \ all other property of the state at an
apportlonate value.

Ilrnumont In In Jail.
HURON , S. D. , Aug. 17. ( Special. ) Edward -
ward Beaumont wns arrested yesterday and
fined $20 for grand larceny. At the trial
some sensational developments were had.
It appears that Beaumont and Mrs. McCul-
lough , wife of the complaining witness In
the larceny proceeding , had a very warm
attachment for each other. Mrs. McCul-
ough went to Glldden , la. , a short time
since , and from there wrote her husband
hat she hnd decided not to live with htm
any longer. Suspicious that Beaumont was
nterested "in this , Mr. McCulIough began
an Investigation , nnd In Bcnumonl's trunk
10 found a number of tellers from Mm.
McCulIough which were veritable eye-
openers to him. Ho also found property
lotonglng to Mrs. McCulIough that strength
ened his suspicion lhat ho and Mrs. McCul-
ough were entirely too Intimate. Beau-
uonl , who worked for McCulIough and ma'ln
ils homo there , was arrested and at the
preliminary examination the letters were
produced , and were tnken as evidence lhat
: ; o and Mrs. McCulIough had been entirely
lee Intimate and also that n young woman
who made her homo in the McCulIough
family had nlso become Infatuated with
Beaumont. It Is probable that an Investi
gation bp the state's attorney will follow.
Beaumont Is In jail.

KEYSTONE , S. D. , Aug. 17. ( Special. )
The wonderful development of this mining
district ( Is fast attracting the attention of
mining investors , No boom hns ever slruck
this camp and none Is desired , for the reason
that this district Is substantial In every
particular. The ore Is low grade , but the
quantity is BO largo that It Is simply a
question of sinking deep , thus showing up the
ledge or vein , then building milling capacity
to mill the ores. Most of the ores are con- *
centratlng ores , but In many case ? from 20
lo 40 per cent free gold Is saved upon the
plates. The surface generally shows from
$1 to $2 per ton , but In all cases where the
development work has been carried to n
depth of 100 feet and over Iho values have
Increased lo from $3.60 to $7 per ton.
As the hllU arc usually from 150 to 500
feet high , ll Is nnlto usual lo run tunnels
and cut the ledges or veins al a depth of
from 100 lo 300 feel from Iho apex. It Is qulto
common lo find ledges or veins from four
: o Iwenty-flve feet wide nt Ihcso depths and
in all cases where grcaler depth has been
reached Ihe ledge or vein has been found
, o widen materially.
These statements have been proven by
the workings of the Holy Terror , Keystone ,
Bismarck , llulllon , Hanger nnd Dig Hit
mines. The Holy Terror U the only de
veloped "high grade ore" mlno In this dls-
Irlcl , and tills mine Is PO rich that up to
date , having been operated for four years ,
has made mllflonatrcs of n number of men
of moderolo menus. This mlno Is now
working at the 700-foot level nnd retains
Its wonderful richness , and has ore enough
In eight to pay enormous returns for a great
number of years. This mlno Is owned by
John S. George and associates of Milwaukee ,
WIs.
ICcyntoiic In Low Grnilc Ore.
The Keystone mine lies alongside of Iho
Holy Terror mine , but Is almost a perfect
opposite from the ratter , as Ihe Keystone Is
low grade ore , running from $3.50 to $7 per
ton , nnd the ledge or vein Is from fifty to
eighty feet wide. The workings have now
reached the 250-foot level and the values are
Increasing. This mlno was originally de
veloped by ex-Congressman D. S. Hall , Lane
K. Stone , Marcua Johnson and associates ol
Minnesota , who recently soW this mine to
the Holy Terror Mining company for a re
ported consideration of $250,000. Bolh Iho
Holy Terror and Kcyslone mines have mill
ing planls of the lalest Improved machinery
and additional capacity is being considered.
The Bismarck mine Is situated a distance
ol about 1,800 feet northwest of the Holy
Terror and Keystone mines , nnd Is now
working at the 200-foot level. This ere runs
from | 5 to $8 per ton , and tholcdgoor vein Is
now about twenty-live feet "wide and In
creasing In width and values ns the workings
go deeper. New veins or chules of ere are
being encounlcred lhat produce "specimen1
ore.
ore.The
The Bismarck has the only purely concen
trating mill in this district. This mill has
a capacity of 200 tons per twenty-four hours
and was constructed by Peck Bros , of Chicago
cage , who completed the construction about
thirty days ago , since which time the mil
has been operating lo Iho satisfaction of the
builders and mill owners. It Is reliably re
ported that on assay of the tailings doe
not show a trace of gold. This Is remark
able , but Is substantiated by facts.
The Bismarck la conlrolled by Mr. John
Earth and associates of Milwaukee , who
have expended largo sums of money upon
their property and are now reaping their
reward , much to the delight of the citi
zens of this district , for Mr. Darin and his
associates have the confidence and good wll
of the community.
Many other properties are In an advancc (
state of development , and all showing gooi
veins and substantial values , among which
might bo mentioned the Bullion , Big Hit
Ranger , Lucky Boy , Columbia , Krupp an <
Gold Hill , Egyptian group , Ida Florence

Special mention should bo made of the
development work now being done upon th
"Tykoon group. " This property is ownei
by Mr , Faulk , proprietor of the Cedar Uapldi
Gazette. Mr. Faulk and family arc now so
journlng In Keystone.
The construction of the B. & M. rallroac
into Keystone has commenced and will b
pushed as fast as possible. This will glv
to this district much relief from the burden
some freight charges and Inconveniences o
getting machinery Into this district , and wll
give the camp an Impetus lhat will increas
the population of Keystone and advance tb
mining development of this district.
A conservative mining man has prcdlctec
that In ten years there will bo more mln
Ing machinery In operation In Ihe Keyslon
district than In any mining district of co.ua
area In the United Stales. Fuel has been
one of the annoying features of operation
hero , but the arrrlval of the first train wll
eliminate that vexed question , for coal wll
bo delivered hero at moderate prices.
Mr. John T , Jones , the well known Iroi
miner of norlhern Michigan , has Iho ban
on the Lucky Boy and Krupp and Gold Hll
mines , and la expected hero soon to prepar
for operations as soon as the railroad Is in
Mr. Malony of Cripple Creek , Colo. , has ;
bond on the Egyptian group. This Is con
sldered a very promising property.
Mr. J. A. Boggs , formerly of Minnesota
has a bond on the Ranger mines and Is preparing
paring for active work.
Mr. Harry F. Chlpman and associates o
Detroit , Mich , , have a bond on the valunbl
copper properties of J. F. Darner and asso

promising copper properties In the Keyston
district.
Mr , Herman Relnbold of Omaha Is mining
"spudcmeno ore" from thp Etta lln mine
This deposit Is considered the most valua
