KIMBALL DAKOTA.
The best located
town in Southern
Dakota, being situ
ated near the cen
ter of Brule County,
in the midst of the
best farming and
stock "country in
the world. The
proof of which has
been fully demon
strated in the mag
nificent crops of the
past few years.
Is located on the Main Line oi
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railroad, 48 miles west oi
Mitchell and 22 miles east oi
Chamberlain. It has a line pub
lic school building, good church
es, a iirst-class jiostofflce, two
banks, two jrood hotels, one
large grain elevator and mate
rial on the ground for another,
three lumber yards, all larrying
immense stocks several black
smith shops, good livery stables,
aud stores representing all
branches of trade. Still the
country demands more and to
live men great inducements are
offered to invest in this
Beautiful Town
The Brule County Agricul
tural Fair Grounds adjoin the
townsite and is one of the best
fair grounds in the Territory,
with a good half-mile track.
THE TOWN IS BOOMING
And now is the time to invest.
D. WARNER,
Proprietor of the original town
site, has platted and laid out
tln-ec additions, all adjoining,
with a continuation of streets
and alleys. Part nl which are
in acre lots, so as to enable all
classes to be suited in procuring
a residence lot. The most de
sirable blocks on Main Street
are still for sale to those who
desire to engage in business, and
great inducements are offered
to that class of men.
The climate in this part of
Dakota is everything to be
desired and is fully as mild
as that of Ohio, Indiana and Il
linois, with, perhaps, a less num
ber of cloudy days. The rain
fall is abundant and always
comes when most needed. The
water is free from any alkali
taste and as pure as any found
in any of the Eastern States. In
short, the country, climate and.
social advantages make this one
of the best, it uot the very best,
county in Dakota for the emi
grant"

KIMBALL, BRULE COUNTY, DAKOTA, FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1884*
The late rains have done incalculable
good in the northwest. The spring had
bee» unusually dry, and favorable foi
seeding but a prolongation of dry weath
er was not desirable. The outlook now
Is very cheering.
Doctor Tanner, the renowned Minne
sota faster, has been lecturing at Cin
cinnati and elsewhere on temperance.
He never was a favorite in Minnesota
on account of his crankish proclivities,
but there are many places where his
eccentricities are regarded as indications
of remarkable genius.
The steamer Boar lms already sailed
for the icy North to the relief of Lieu
tenant Greely. Whalers 011 the north
era coast stimulated by tho offer of $25,
000 reward, may reach the imprisoned
expedition first. But if Greely and his
men are rescued, it matters not who the
rescuers are. It is gratifying to know
that with reference to Greely the Gov
ernment has done its entire duty. It is
predicted that next year an expedition
will be fitted out to go iu search of the
Bear. ________
Tho bill in tho lionse for governing
Utah by a commission with large pow
ers, the ostensible object being to crash
out polygamy, lias been defeated in
committee, and it is cpiit© evident that
no violent or radical measures will be
appointed by congress. While polyga
my is denounced on every side it is not
behind.that measures that may savor of
persecution, or that may be interpret
ed as such, are the wisest that can be
adopted. Too many gentiles are more
anxious to strike mormonism as a re
ligion, than polygamy itself.
The Toronto Globo credits many
jroung Canad'an voman with the good
Bense of no longer regarding domestic
service as woman generally seem to be
lieve, and prefer the drudgery of the
kitchen to the drudgery of the factory.
The result of this change of feeling is
that good domestic servants can be ob
tained at moderate weges, for plain
cooks, range from $8 to $10 a month,
and the house maids from $6 to $8. If
Americans girls could be made to jefl
4G».e^^gflmce4iHte-sfEmgiigntthese
Canadian girls do, they would be hotter
fed, better clothed, better, liouseii wuj
happier.
Gen. Badeau recently resigned the
office of consul general at Havana.
The reason of his resignation is a pecu
niary one arising out of a difference of
opinion between himself and thenngen
erons United States government over
the matter of compensation. Accord
ing to the accounts of the treasury Gen.
Adam Badeau is indebted to the gov
ernment to the amount of $9,713.50 for
foes received as consul general at Lon
don, and nearly the same amount for
fees received as consul general to Ha
vana. He has frequently been called
upon to settle this deficit, but has re
fused to do so, claiming that he is en
titled to them as apart compensation.
Unless Mr. Badeau settles shortly a suit
will be brought against him by tin
ernment.

The complaint is made in New York
that the abolition of tolls on the canals
in that state has failed of the effect ex
pected of it, through the extortionate
charges for elevator service at Buffalo
and New York. These elevators are
owned or controlled by tho railroad
companies and they make the charges
high enough to more than neutralize
the benefit of the abolition of the tolls.
The repeated tolls amounted to a charge
of $400,000 a year upon the canal com
merce but it is said that the elevator
tax amounts to $4,000,000 a year on th»
grain trade of the state. The canal in
terest is worse off, therefore, than be
fore. It is asserted that the railroads
have injured the canal business to such
an extent that it is no longer done as a
profit, and the boatmen are gradually be
coming impoverished and disheartened,
and if the legislature does not interfere
to regulate the elevator oliarges "the
water route competition with tlie roads
will couio at an ond as effectually as if
tlie Erie canal were drained and every
one of its 4,000 boats lay rotting on its
banks."
Professor Pcabody, of Hlinois, al
luding to the_ fact that a very large
proportion of the arable lands once of
fered for sale by the General Govern
ment are absorbed by railroads, settlers
or speculators says: "Long before the
next thirty years shall have ended, the
United States will not have for sale a
single acre of land which a farmer could
afford to take as a gift, in comparison
with Illinois land at fifty dollars an
acre." This statement has a great deal
of probability in its favor if it is not ex
jct truth. The nomads are now wan
doring over sections that are only fit for
sheep pastures in search of farms and
homes, and it will not be long before a
refluent wave will bring the best of them
back to the older and better sections
that are now so sparsely settled, while
Eastern immigrants will have learned
that tho cheapest land is often the
learest. Let no good farmer be de
ceived by tho insane idea of rheapland.
That which is nearest markets, rail
roads, good schools, churclioM, and is
good for diversified farming, is cheaper
at $50 per acre than its opposite is at
