* The Crop Outlook.
Gregory , S. D. , June 15. Editor
News : I have been driving consider
able of late over Gregory county , S. D. ,
and Koya Palm , Boyd and northern
Holt county , Neb. This country never
looked more prosperous than It does
at the present time. The farmers are
breaking up more new ground , bulH-
ing now houses and barns , planting
fruit and shade trees , sowing alfalfa
and improving their places In a general -
oral way. Grass and pasture is excel-
lent. The weather conditions have
been very favorable for corn , and al
though some fields were badly dam
aged by cut worms hi the early part
of the season , they have been replant
ed and are growing fast and the out
look at this time for a good corn crop
Is very promising.
Small grain was beginning to show
the effect of the dry hot weather of
the past week and should such weath
er continue without rain in a very
short tlmo the small grain will be se
riously Injured but with a reasonable
amount of rain during the next two
months all kinds of crops will bo
heavy. Very respectfully ,
J. J. Clements.

Union Pacific Depot This Year.
From a report given a News repre
sentatlve by a local official of tin
Union Pacific Railroad company , thi
long dispute over the moving of cer
tain business buildings on the M. & 0
and Union Pacific right-of-way in thi
city has been settled , which settle
ment has brought both companle
down to actual business on the nev
Union Pacific depot proposition. Th
settlement , says this official , was mad
several weeks ago , and he expects prc
llmlnary work on the new depot will
in ten days.
Another bit of reliable Informatlo :
has leaked out to the effect that th
head of the Union Pacific road ha
declared "that the railroad must go o
with the new depot at once. "
The plans for this new depot hav
been inspected by several buslncs
men In this city. From the plans , !
is shown that the two roads intend t
erect a fine building here. The pai
songer depot will be a brick structun
The plan calls for two depots , a frelgli
and passenger , but It Is believed th
old building will be moved to Fourt
street and used as a freight depot. Th
brick passenger depot , according to
the plans , will face south on Fifth
struct. A parking Is planned , between
the two buildings.

Stanton Boosters on Trip.
A bunch of fifty llvo ones from Stanton -
ton , traveling in eleven automobiles
and carrying a baud , Invaded Madison ,
Wayne , Stanton , Pierce and Cuming
counties Friday , advertising Stantqn's
forthcoming Fourth of July celebra
tion and the Stanton county fair , Sep
tember 19 , 20 , 21 and 22.

Norfolk business men , representing
the Commercial club and the Ad club.

and , having boosted their celebration ,
turned toward Hadar. They planned
to visit Hadar , Hosklns , WInside ,

Special Train Impossible.
That a special train from Norfolk
to Tilden on the Fourth of July would
be out of the question , but that it
might be arranged to attach a few ex
tra coaches to an eastbound freight in
the evening of that day , to bring Nor
folk visitors home , was the reply giv
en by Northwestern officials to repre
sentatives of the Tilden Commercial
club who came to town yesterday af
ternoon to make another effort to get
a special train. Lack of equipment
was the cause of failure to achieve
their desire.
The Tilden men had banked on hav
ing a great throng of Norfolk visitors
on the Fourth , and still hope for a big
crowd , because the ball team plays at
Tilden that day.
Good Rain Northwest.
Gregory , S. D. , June 16. Special to
The News : A splendid rain" Commenc
ed falling at 6 o'clock last evening.
Fully two inches had fallen up to 10
o'clock and It was still raining , and
indications were that it was general
over the Rosebud country. Although
crops have so far suffered but slight
Injury In this vicinity , rain was needed
badly and this copious downpour has
removed all uneasiness among farm
ers and business men.
It Isn't Fair to the Business Men.
"The business men of Norfolk are
not being given anything like consid
eration by the city administration , so
long as a man past 70 years of age Is
left on the police force to guard the
business district at night , " a Norfolk
merchant said Friday. "Personally , I
ike Mr. Livingston and I'd hate to see
ilm lose the city salary that he has
had for so many years , but I really
lon't feel that the business men are
being fairly treated when downtown
property is left under the protection
of a man who , despite his spirit ol
gameness , is altogether too old and
feeble for such a position. Livingston
could not stay at South Norfolk , be
cause the people of the Fourth ward
demanded a change. They had notu
ng personally against Livingston , bui
; hey were tired of being left practical
y unprotected , which it meant as long
as Livingston was on the beat. " v
Mr. Livingston's recent desire to be
transferred back to the Fourth ward
ms caused a storm of protest amonj
Fourth warders. He can't come back
they say , and they declare the mayoi
will be given to understand that poln :
very clearly.
Meanwhile , uptown business mei
are justifiably nervous at night , be
llevlng that a man of past 70 yean
would be in no way equal to any emer
gency that might arise , In which a rea
policeman was needed. And the prc
tectlon of thousands of dollars' wortl
of property , they declare , is of mon
consequence than a political job , wit !
a tap on the city treasury , for a mai
unfitted for the placo.
Blind Pig Still Here ?
Notwithstanding the investigation o
the grand jury of a certain blind pit
east of the city , Judge Elseloy ha
been notified by residents In that poi
tlon of the city that a blind pig is stil
on duty. It is declared by one con :
plalnant that the owner of the plac
is doing business in the same manne
as before the grand Jury investlgatloi
This complainant told the Judge the
a man who had just received hi
wages and against whom the pollc
department had a bill , spent the nlgL
at blind pig headquarters.
Find Hospital Clean as Pin.
"So clean that you could eat off c
any floor in the mammoth instill
tlon. "
That was the verdict rendered b
the secretary and directors of the No
folk Commercial club , who visited th
Norfolk state insane hospital yeste :
day afternoon.
The visitors spent the afternoon t
e the hospital , making the trip to o :
end a formal call to Dr. A. Johnson ,
10 superintendent , and other officers ,
ho guests wcro shown through the
ntlro hospital and were treated with
very courtesy. In the evening Mrs.
ohnson surprised them with n tempt-
ig supper.
The Commercial club men were on-
luslastlc over the perfect control
hlch was noted In every department ,
ho officials wcro all invited to at
om ! the big Ad club dinner next week ,
