While we have had no killing frost thus far in the season, the fol lowing record from the weather bureau at North Platte will show that this is not the first time it is so late in coming, but the average date is about Sept 19th.

By the time the Delia Pringle company has made its tour of the hills it will probably have scored the most successful tour of any re pertoire company that has ever come to'this section is the recom mendation of the Independent At Rapid City the house was packed o the doors and a return date was arranged. The company was booked at Fort Meade for one night only, but they gave such splendid satisfaction that the management bdught-ouMhe showto .remain and have given a guarantee to return April 14 and 15, They appeared at ead City Thursday evening at Miner's Union opera to the biggest repertoire business in the history of the house. The splendid success of the company can be attributed o the fact that it is made up ot actors and not sticks, and their plays are new and have never been seen in the hills. The company supporting Delia Pringle is by far the best she ever owned. Lead City Call. Sparks from a threshing machine i set fire stacks of wheat owned by Dan Edstrom at Hershey Mon day and about 300 bushels of wheat i was burned. I Messrs. Bacon and Van Brock- m, ot &iizaoetn, transacted busi ness in town yesterday. Mr. Bacon and his brother-in-law, Mr. Cooper, harvested about five thousand bush els of wheat this year. A. L. Davis, the hardware man received a large invoice of Barney & Berry skates yesterday. With the mercury at S5 or 90 people are not yet ready to buy skates, but the ob- ect of this item is to let purchasers enow where they can be obtained when the proper time comes. It is not out of place to remark hat Lincoln county, with its hun dreds of miles of irrigation ditches, should have been more liberally rep resented at the state and national igation conventions at Lincoln his week. Perhaps the irrigation- ists of Lincoln county consider that hese conventions possess too many heoretical and not enough practi cal methods of irrigation, but in this they are mistaken. Several of he most successful lrngaticunsts x California and Utah attended the conventions. IP POWDER Absolutely Pure. Celebraed for Its great leavening .trngta and nealLafnlness.
