Thel)est located
town in Southern
Dakota, being situ

ter of Brule County,
in the midst of the
best farming and
r"
stock country in
the world. The
proof of which has
been fully demon
strated in the mag
nificent crops of the
past few years.
KIMBALL
Is located on the Main Line ol
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railroad, i8 miles west oi
Mircliell arid 22 miles east oi
Chamberlain. It has a line pub
lic school building, good church
es, a first-class postoffice, two
banks, two jrood hotels, one
large grain elevator and mate
rial on the ground for another,
three lumber yards, all tarrying
immense stocks several black
smith shops, good livery stables,
and 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 tho
townsite and is one of the best
fair grounds in the Territory,
witli a good hall-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
three additions, all adjoining,
with a continuation of streets
and alleys. Part nt 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. Iu
short, the country, climate and,
social advantages make this one
of the best, it not the very best,

Soma Traita of the Virginian.
The whole tradition of the ootmtrj
unites in a vast protest against hurry.
II you meet your neighbor on the road
on horseback, though you had met every
day for a week, he would look on you
as a curmudgeon did you not stop and
"chat a while." If, on a summer day,
you stop at a roadside farm-house for a
drink of water, you will be fortunate, if
the owner is a speaking acquaintance,
to get away within an hour, and consid
erable hardening will be required to
resist the entreaty to "'lite, Sir,'lite,"
that follows instantly on his greeting of
recognition. Rural property, where
the house stands upon the public high
way, is among tlxis middling class con
sidered as having something special in
that particular to recommend it. The
middle-aged or elderly proprietor of
such an enviable location, though he lias
uowadays to inako his boys work, will
still sit himself upon tho porcli
in his shirtsleeves, with long pipe
or the less picturesque quid
between his toetli, rocking
himself to and fro im the warm summer
days. His cyet are bent always ou the
dusty road that, beyond the shade of
the acacias and the old-fashioned strag
gling box trees which divide him from
it, leads the people of liis part of the
Miuntry to the county town. Biding
along it at slow, ambling gaits, ou Tex
an saddles with long, swinging stirrups,
in big straw hats and white linen jack
ets, the neighbors go bv in ones and
twos at long intervals. ISach is greeted
by our venerable friend with a shout of
entreaty to "lite and seta while." The
predilections of all tempt them to com
ply. The stronger-minded, however,
declare "they are mightily pushed for
time and must got on." Otherwise yield
to their native instinct, hitch their horses
to the fence, and relapse into that ex
tended and elaborate formula wliioli, of
various kinds, according to education,
accompanies iu tho south the meeting
of man and man.—Maemillan's Maga
zine.

and interesting incidents in the domes

He Carried, early in life, a very beauti

Mr. Benjamin was much devoted to her,

society, but he H*ver succeeded. Onoe
he gave a grand bail in Now Orleans all
the men invited came, not a single
woman. That crushed u?a hopes then.
When he was elected to the SOttftto he
brought his ivife to Washington and set
up a magnificent establishment. The
old grudge against iiis wife was remem
bered, and ho again found himself
obliged to go into society without his
wife or to remain in seculsion. He sold his
splendid household effects at a great loss
gave up his house, and said, despond
ently, to a friend, "I am bankrupt in
heart, purse and reputation," His
wife then went to Paris, where he sup
ported her in splendor and visited her
oftqn. His own tastes wore of the sim
plest kind, and his personal expenses
hardly a tithe of his great earnings. He
knew how to charge clients, and often
described with a relish his plan of mak
inga fee." "First," he said, "I cliargea
retainer, then I charge a reminder, next
I charge a refresher, and then I charge
a finisher." He was exceedingly liber
al and had
love of money for money's
sake. His la.v office in London was
the darkest and dingiest cranny imagin
able. There were two rooms, one tol
erable, which was occupied by his
clerks, and tho other absolutely meagre
occupied by the great jurist himself. It
was a favorite resort of southerners,
and a pilgrimago to the shabby little
law office was religiously performed by
nearly every southerner who visited
London.
German American Somance.
In 1872 the eldest son of Princo Fred
erich of Palm, the yomig Count Alfred,
then studying at the Bonn University,
ran away from home because his family
would not allow him to marry a young
girl, well brought up, and whose pa
rents were comfortably off, but of com
paratively low birth. For a whole year
the Princo of Palm remained ignorant
of his sons whereabtfuts, and was only
informed last September that he was
working as anavvy on the Illinois rail
ways fow miles from Cliieago. He had
been recognized by another navvy of the
name of Schneider, who had served in
Germany in the samo regiment of Hus
sars as the young prince. Shneider
wrote to the young Prince to hi form
him that the count and himself occnpiod
the same lodging at Chicago. The
Prince immediately sent tho manager
of his estate to bring baok the prodigal
son, who refused to return unless he
was allowed to marry the lady for whose
sake he lad left heme and country.
Tho Prince's consent to the match has
beon granted.—London Truth.
The floods of the Lower Mississippi
having subsided, it appears that the
damage is much less than was anticipat
ed. It is thought the cotton lands will
be dry in time for planting,
and that an increased crop is
probably as a result of the water.
Floods are most damaging to the sugar
raising districts, but, as not much of the
sugar section was flooded, it in not ex
pected that there will be much falling
off in the yield.

General Grant's residence in New
York, also the cottage at Long Branch,
are in Mrs. Grant's name. The fund
raised for his benefit several years ago,
amounting to about $300,000, is in trust,
guaranteed by the late Governor Mor
gan, and cannot be touched.

Peek's Sun.
When a man is Ant called "pa," by a
little one that he has a half interest in,
he puts his thumbs in liis vest, smiles a
two-for-a-quarter smile, and thinks he is
smart. He wonders if ever a man as
young and green-looking as he is was
called"pa" before, and he puts on style,
and thinks that ho is a thoroughbred.
But twenty years later, when tho afore
said infant, grown to agreat strapping
fellow,big enough to take his "pa" down
at the wrestle "square-hold," stands be
fore a minister and promises to love,
honor and obey a girl for all that is out,
ind the girl turns and calls tho old gen
"pa," then the smarty of twenty years
ago begins to think that he is getting
old enough to turn out to grass, and he
looks at himself in the mirror and says:
"Those are gray hairs, sure enough,
and the clearing on that head indicates
baldness that is not premature." 1
suppose a man who has eigh
teen or nineteen sons get
ting married along at intervals gets
used to it and does not noticc it so
much, but my experience is that tho

inese cuu.„.. iUl, new ties and
rails were laid, and the outlook was du
bious enough. However, the president
called a meeting of the board to see
what could be done. When he had
stated the condition of the track and
equipment, be added that the company
hadn't a dollar in cash, and no collater
alto borrow money on. He then askec
what should be done.
"i move we declare a dividend of 1(
per cent.," boldly replied one of the di
rectors.
It was a thunderclap which knockec
'em all down but he followed it up by
offering to loan the company $32,000 tc
make the dividend, and a dividend was
decided on. The stock at once leaped
from 34 to 90 cents, and in a year it was
held at 108, and paying dividends on
that.
Bead-Head Doctoring.
A busy Cincinnati physician said to a
reporter: "To tell you the truth, Ae
medical profession is poor—very poor.
And doctors who talk of incomes of
$20,000 to $25,000 a year simply talk
for effect. I earn from $12,000 to $15,
000, and think myself well off if I actu
ally collect one-third of it. The rest
of it I may or may not get some day—
probably not and I know that my
practice is larger and my clientellc more
lucrative than that of at least one pre
tender to $25,000 that I could name. 1
keep a carriage, to be sure, and a col
ored man, with very bright buttons but
it is often that I haven't a dollar in my
pocket to pay for a cab, if my own
equipage should happen to break down
a couple of miles way from home.
Fees of English Doctors.
Tho English doctors, Radcliffe mftde
over $35,000 fl year in the height of his
fame Mead, $25)000 Bailliej $45,000
Sir H. Halfordi *55,000 and Sir B.
Brodie, $85,000 in thef year Vtti one be
fore his retirement, the' litrgef.t income
known. Iiadcliffe once received $8,000
as a special fee for visiting Lord Alber
marle at Namour, Granville $5,000 and
his traveling expenses for a tisitto St.
Petersburg, and recently Sir W, Gull
$5,000 each for two visits to Pau and
$7,500 for traveling to Perthshire and
remaining a week with a patient. But
the fee of fees was" that received by Dr.
Dinesdale in 1768 for inoculating the
Empress Catherine and her son at St.
Petersburg, viz.: $60,000 paid down, a
pension of $2,500 for life, and the dig
nity of a baron.
Professor Pepper, of tho University
of Pennsylvania, says that among the
causes of disease among Americans is
Ihe damp homes, caused by bad drain
age, the use of tobacco, the drinking of
whisky at all times, and especially be
tweeu meals the excessive use of Btrong
tea and coffee, the frying-pan, the .soda
baking nowder and patent purgative
pills. The hot water craze, he says i&,
capable of doing as much harm as good.
While hot water may bo used with ad.
vantage in a limited number of cases, in
many it has not been without its disad
vantages. The craze lias brought ite
good, for it has been of advantage to
thestrongtea and coffee drinkers, whose
nervous system will not stand the strong
stimulant, but who mav take a cup of
hot water tinged with English breakfast
tea and a little sugar, and drink with
pleasure a cttp that cheers, but does not
over-stimulate.
