The best located
town in Southern
Dakota, being situ

in the midst of the
best farming and
stock country in
(lie world. The
proof of which has

past few years,
KIMBALL
Is located on the Main Line oi
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St,

es, a first-class postoffiee, 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
brandies of trade. Still the
country demands more and to

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,
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
three additions, all adjoining,
with a continuation of streets
and alleys. Part ol 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, wit.Ii, perhaps, a less num
ber of cloudy days. The rain
tall is abundant and always
conies when most needed. The
water is tree from any alkali
tasle and as pure as anv found
in any of the Eastern States. In
short, the country, climate and

KIMBALL, BRULE COUNTY, DAKOTA, FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1884
DAKOTA SEWS KOTGS.
•OT. Ordway Cleared,
Yankton, Dak., Spooal Tologram.—The
mucli bmitorl case of Gov. Ordway for alleged
bribery in the organization of Faulk county, in
dicted by tlis United States grand jury came up
for trial boforo Judge Edgorton. Ordway's
friunds have held from thu bcgiuniug that the
governor was not guilty, as charged that if
guilty the United States court haa no juris
diction and that tlie indictment was obtained
by Campbell merely out of spite, and for polit
ical effect—all of which, of eourxe, Caroubell
denies. Ex-Gov. Davis, Ex-Chief Justice
Shan­
non of Yankton, aud CoL Parlier of Dcadvrood,
wore retained as counsel for the governor.
When tho court opened Ex-Gov. Davis
made a motion to -quash the indictment on the
ground that territorial governors judges
and legislators weie not indictable
under the section of the revised statutes under
which the indictment was brought, aud which
provides for punishing United States oflicors
who accopt bribes or gratuities for influencing
tlioir action in any matter coming before them
for consideration. Gov. DaviB went fully
into tho matter aud showed the nec
essities of this protection of these of
ficials froiu arrest while holding
offico. He oited authorities freely, and showed
that this was tho first case where a governor
had boen imlictod. The argumont was an able
effort and told upon tho spectators. Campbell
attempted to attack the argument of Davis, but
was clearly very much disconeorted. Judge
Edgorton took one hour for deliberation and
then grantod tho motion to quash indict^
ment Ordway's counsel were fully
equipped, and had the motion not been grant
ed they would have then attacked the maae-up
of tho grand jury. Failing in this they were
prepared to make other motions, and press the
matter for vigorous trail, for which prepara
tion had been fully made but .Judge Edgertou
decidos that Campbell's indictment was with
out authority of law, and the case drops.

Tom Sawyer's Fence.
Tom Sawyer, having offendodhis sole
guardian, Aunt Polly, is by thatstornly
affectionate dame punished by being set
to whitewash tho fence in front of her
garden. The world seemed a hollow
mockery to Tom. who had planned fun
for that day, aud ho know that ho would
be the laughing stock of all tho boys as
they came past and saw him set to work
like a "nigger." But a greatinspiration
burst upon him, and ho went tranquilly
to work. What that inspiration was
will appear from what follows:
One of the boys, Ben Rogers, comos
by and pauses, eating a particularly line
apple. Tom does not see him. Ben
stares for a moment and then says:
"Hi-yi! you're a stump, ain't you?"
Xo answer. Tom surveyed his last
touch with tlie eyo of an artist, then he
gave notlior gentle sweep aud sur
veyed the result as before. Bon ranged
up alongside of him. Tom's mouth
watered for the apple, but ho stuck to
las work. Ben said:
'Hello, old chap you've got to work
hey?"
"Why, it's you, Ben. I wasn't notic
ing."
"Say, I am going in swimming,I am.
Don't you wish you could? But of
course you'd rather work, wouldn't you?
Course you would."
Tom contemplated the boy a bit, and
said:
•'What do you call work?"
"Why, ain't that,work?"
Tom resumed his wliitewashing, and
answered carelessly
'"Well, may be it is, and maybe it
ain't. All I know is, it suits Tom Saw
yer.
"Oh, come now,you don't mean to let
on you like it
The brush continued to move.
"Like it? Well, I don't see why I
ough't to like it. Does a boy get a chance
to whitewash a fense every day?"
That put the thing in a new light.
Ben stopped nibbling at his apple.
Tom swept his brush daintily back and
forth, stepped back to note the effect,
added a touch here and there, and criti
cised the effect again, Ben watching
every move, and getting more and more
interested, more and more absorbed,
Presently he said:
"Say, Tom, let me whitewash alittle."
Tom considered—was about to consent
but altered his mind.
"No, no I reckon it would hardly do'
Ben. You see, Aunt Polly's awful par
ticular about this fence—right here on
the street, you know—but if itwas tho
back fence I wouldn't mind, and she
wouldn't. Yes, she's awful particular
about this fence its got to be done very
careful I reckon there ain't a boy in
a thousand, maybe two thousand, that
can do it in the way it's got to lie done."
"—No—is that so? Oh, come now,'
lemme just try, only just a. little. I'd
let you, if you was me, Tom."
"Ben, I'd like to, honest Injun, but
Aunt Polly—well, Jim wanted to do
it, but she wouldn't let him. Sid
wanted to doit, but she wouldn't let Sid.
Now, don't you see howl am fixed If
you was to tackle this fence nud any
thing was to happen to it—"
"Oh, shucks! I'll be just as careful.
Lemme try. Say—I'll give you the core
of my apple."
"Well, here. No, Ben now, don't
I'm afcar—" y/".' ..
"I'll give you all of it!" ::J*
Tom gave up the brush with reluc
tance in his face, but alacrity in his
heart. And while Ben worked and
sweated in the sun the artist sat on a
barrel in the sliade close by, dangled his
legs, munched his apple, and
planned the slaughter of more
innocents. There was no lack of materi
al boys happened along every little
while they came to jeer, but remained
to whitewash. By the time Ben was
fagged out Tom had traded the next
chance to Billy Fisher for a lutein good
repair and when lie played out John
Miller bought it for a toy rat and a
string to swing it with and so on, hour
after hour. And when the middle of
the afternoon came, from -being a poor,
poverty-stricken boy in the morning,
Tom was literally rolling in wealth.
He had, besides the things I have men
tioned, twelve marbles, part of a jaw'a
harp, a piece of blue bottle-glass to
look through, a spool cannon, a key
that wouldn't unlock anything, a frag
ment of chalk, a glass stopper of a do
canter, a tin soldier, a couple of tad
poles, six fire-crackers', a kitten
with only one eye, a broken door-knob,
a dog collar—but no dog—tho handle of
a knife, four pieces of orange peel, and
a dilapidated old window sash. He had
a nice, good, idle time all the while—
plenty of company—and the fence had
thieo coats of whitewash on it! If he
had not run out of whitewash he would
have bankrupted every boy in the vil
lage.
Tom said to himself that it was not
such a hollow world after all. Ho had
discovered a great law of human action
without knowing it—namely, that in or
der to mako man or boy covet a thing it
is only necessary to make it difficult to
attain.—Chicago News.
Lethargy in Paris.
A \ery able correspondent writes
from Paris to a London paper: "There
is a widespread feebng of uneasiness, in
Paris especially, which nothing can al
lay, Not that people apprehend im
mediate trouble, but they feel that
though the reimbhc is established it of
fers no security for the future. Conse
quently thero is a disinclination to em
bark upon new commercial and indus
trial enterprises, and the hoped-for re
vivial of business the spiiug is still to
come. Curiously enough, the stagna
tion, extends to matters artistic and
theatrical. Tho latter phenomenon is
well worthy of notice, seeing that in the
most stormy days of the First Revolu
tion tho theateis displayed tho greatest
activity. Paris rarely deprives itseli
-of tho fictitious drama, whatever may
be the real ones performed there. But
though the situation is strained enough,
we have not reached so acute a period*.
