And now is the time to invest.
D. WARNER,
Proprietor of the original town

three additions, all adjoining,
with a continuation of slreets

classes to be suited in procuring
a residence lot. The most de

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 miltl
as that of Ohio, Indiana and Il
linois, with, perhaps, a less num
ber of cloudy days. The rain
tall 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

K1MBAIX, BRULE COUNTY, DAKOTA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1884
The Story of a Famona Shipwreck.
Ex-Lieut.Governor
Young
of Ohio be­
gan his military career ten years before
the civil war, as a private in the regular
artillery, and was one of the soldiers on
board the steamer Ban Francisco,
wrecked at sea, and went through ter
rible experiences wliioli he narrated the
other day to a St. Louis reporter.
There were 700 passengers on board the
steamer, with 200 colored servants in
addition, to supply the steamship com
panies with help on the California
coast. Among the passengers were five
companies of the Third Artillery, under
command of Colonel Gates, included
among the passengers were thirty la
dies and twenty-five children.
"We left New York," said the gov
ernor, "on the 21st day of December,
1852, and were wreoked on the morn
ing of the 21tli day of Deoember, owing
to the breaking of the engine in a terri
fic gale, in which tho ship foundered
the masts were carried away with the
smokestacks. A portion of one of the
engines broke ana the rudder chains
broke, leaving us a wreck.. The gtles
lasted thirteen days, from the 24 of De
oember till the 7th of January, and the
weather was intensely cold. The ship
drifted toward the Gulf Stream,
about six days afterwards a great wave
swept over the ship, by which Major
Washington, Lieutenant Smith, Major
George Taylor and their families were
carried away. I heard the shrieks of
people drowning, and saw, or imagined
I saw the head and arms of those strug
gling in the waves, and saw them gradu
ally disappear without the possibility
of any help or any assistance being
rendered them. After that terrible
gale I was the only man left above deck,
having caught hold of two cross bars,
and thereby sustained myself and pre
vented myself from being washed
overboard. On the 6th of January
a ship hove in sight and sailed around
us and went away without disclosing
what or who she was. The gale was
still blowing and she was a quarter of
a mile off. Then hope faded from our
hearts as she dissappeared. But the
next morning at ten o'clock the same
ship again approached us, and while
some distance away we could descry the
following legend fastened to her mizzen
mast: Be of good cheer I will save
or sink by you. Creighton.' The ship
was the Three Bells, Captain Creighton
in command. That gave life to our
people, and revived their hopes of res
cue. The strange ship sailed around
ns for two days, putting herself in sight
during the continuance of the gale, and
on the third day, the 7th of January,
she came with another ship, which she
had hailed. She was the Autocrat, a
packet ship, on her way from New York
to Liverpool. She was JLoaded to the
scuppers with provisions of all kinds.
The master of this ship was named Shaf
fer, and, in my opinion, was the mean
est man that ever lived, be
cause, after 128 men and woman had
been rescued from tho boats, he refused
to break his bulk but fed the unfortun
ates on oatmeal andbug-crackors which
had been left from the previous voyage of
emigrants. I was on. board his ship,
So mean was he that he refused on one
occasion to give enough coal to fill a
sack to sink a poor girl who had died
on the passage, and the sailors made up
a ballast with old links of chain and old
iron to sink the dead girl. A remons
trance was made to the captain bv some
of the passengers. He said that he
would not be permitted to break bulk
without a special license of the con
signees. Notwithstanding all this,
Congress in its generosity made a pres.
ent to the captain of $8,000,
We were landed 'at Liverpool and got
back to New York on the 16th of March,
1853. Captain Creighton, the no
ble man who said he would sail or sink
by us, did all he promised. His ship
was heavily laden with chloride of lime
and Scotch whisky, and when the boats
had picked up and brought the San
Francisco passengers on board, includ
ing women and children, he had no
scruples abont custom houses, duties or
breaking bulk, but threw open his
hatches and cast overboard enough of
his freight to make room for about two
hundred of the rescued people who had
been taken by him, and landed them
safe at New York, he being on the way
from Glasgow to New York when he
fell in with the wrecked ship. Congress
voted Captain Creighton a large sum of
money and a new ship'called the "New
Three Bells,' which was built at the
navy yard in Brooklyn, a beautiful model
of which was placed in the patent office
at Washington.
Polygamous Economies.
The private home routine of a polyg
amous family is a matter upon which so
much curiosity is constantly expressed
by my acquaintances that 1
venture to
say here what little I know but the
reader must remember that "less than
ten per cent of the voting Mormon
population of Utah are polygamists.
The polygamist, as a rule has accumu
lated some property and owns a house
before he takes a second and successive
wives, though sometime* he begins by
marrying two or three at once. All
of these marriages, however, except the
first, are made secretly by the church
and no record of them is accessible.
In the city, at least, it is seldom that
the different wives occupy the same
quarters. In the country this is not so
uncommon, but the natural unpleasant
ness follows in most cae?z. The gener
al method is to have a large house, the
maih part of which perhaps, is occupied
ty the first wife, and the wings or addi
tions by the successive candidates for
marital honors. These large,
hotel-like houses are common in" Salt
Lake City, and mark a difference be
tween it and a town of small houses
like Cheyenne and most other western
villages." In many cases, however, the
husband sets up his wives in separate
homes, either side by sido or in differ
ent jiarts Of the city. In any case each
vf£Vr
has her own kitchen-garden, oto. I have
in mind a wealthy dignitary of the
church whom you might easily have
mistaken for the late Peter Cooper, and
who is possessed of seven wives. Each
of these wives has some farming and
garden ground of her own, and all are
greatly devoted to raising bees. With
the help or their grown children they
each raise a large amount of pro
duce and honey annually. The
husband acts aB their agent.
He hives their swarms of bees, and
charges them for it he renders special
aid when oalledupon, and is paid for it
he sells their crops and honey when it
is ready, and credits each wife with her
due share. Most of them live in suites
of apartments uuder the roof of his
great house in town, but the first wife
has a beautiful farm of her own a little
out of the city, to which she and her
children have retired, to end their days
in peaceful independence.
The way in which this old gentleman
has always arranged his domestic life
is reported to be thus: He had certain
rooms in his house where he kept his
bed, his wardrobe, his books, and saw
any visitors who called upon him. Here
he was a bachelor, and here he staid
every other day and night. On alter
nate days or nights he was the guest of
one or another of his wives in regular
rotation, devoting the one day (in this
ease fortnightly) which was hers dili
gently to her society. Of course this
routine was not invariable, but for the
most part it was regularly followed.—
Ernest Ingersoll, in Harper's Maga
zine for August.
LOVO BRANCH STTXJB.
A Woman with Sixty Sreseea ul a Dnde
Who Xlvala her.
Long Branch Letter.
This is a great hotel. At present it
shelters not only _a_ woman with forty
brand new complete costumes, but a—
well, God made him, therefore let him
pass for a man—with sixty spick-span
fresh suits, nine horses and four servants.
The lady in question is Mrs. Moses Fra
ley of St. Louis, wife of the grain spec
ulator. Of her wardrobe the whole of
the immediate house is aware, not alone
because it is dazzled three times a day
and between meals by miraculous toil
ets, but because, though occupying an
extensive suite of rooms, two of which
are turned into a wardrobe^ the corridor
into which they open has a wainscotting
of trunks, varying in size from
alegator hat* boxes to the huge
"togas," opening like chests of drawers.
When Mrs. Fraley, who is a large
woman with blonde hair, has astonished
us for the fortieth time with a stunning
combination of dress, hat, parasol,
gloves, stockings and shoes to match,
she will start for pastures new and be
gin all over again, as is the mode with
women of fashion. For example, there
arrived this morning a ladv who has
been doing Saratoga with thirteen
trunks, and who lunched in a ^miracle
of chocolate satin sprinkled with
natural-sized walnuts of golden hue,
and bronze shoes, which, by the way,
are very fashionable, and in this case
cut low enough to display golden silk
stockings. On her head was perched a
coquettish turban, trimmed with a
dozen gold and brown rings.
As to the masculine wearer of five
dozen different costumes, Mr. E. Berry
Wall of New York, I am told he firsts
became famous through his infinite
Variety of his clothes and his lending
that assuming young fraud Lord Aber
cromby $7,000 dollars. I cannot vouoh
for the truth of it, but it is said that
he and-Mrs. Fraley regard each other
in the light of "bitter rivals, though the
latter has the advantage for she can
wear diamonds in a dozen different
ways while Mr. Wall is obliged to con
fine himself to studs, pin and sleevo
buttons of blazing stones.
While I write I can Bee through the
window the St. Louis matron setting
in her carriage for a drive. She has
on a wonderful gown—a peach colored
silk covered with immense damask roses
of crimson velvet pile the underskirt
is flounced alternately with crimson
velvet and rose point the cut of the
corsage is concealed by a mantle of the
brocade a tiny bonaet of lace and crim
son pompons covers her flaxen puffs,
rubies and diamonds tremble in the sun.
Mrs. Fraley steps into her satin-lined
carriage with a dexterous touch ar
ranges her skirts and settles herself
among the cushions, under the shade of
a white lace, rose-lined umbrella.
Presently Mr. Fraley's valet rushes out
with a vast boquet of red roses. Then
the lady gives the signal, the liveried
footman hops on his perch at the back,
and the liveried coachman in front
starts up the &pan—one pure white and
one jet black steed, with huge yellow
collars around their hecks, to the Mani
fest deteriment of their appearance.

r" Boring fr Water.
From Chambers' JoornkL
Boring in the earth for water is an
operation often attended by great un
certainty. Some few years ago in the
heart of London a firm of brewers
bored to a depth of several hundred
yards wiohont tapping the precious flu
id, and the expensive well had to bo
abandoned. Quite recently, at Burton
on-Trent, a similar failure occurred up
on afar smaller scale. When the oper
ators had pierced to a depth of 176 feet
without finding water, they called in
the advice of some experienced artesin
well engineers, who recommended the
abandonment of tite works, and the
commencement of afresh bore upon a
site which they selected 200yards away.
At a depth of only 111 feet a copious
supply of water was found, yielding, in
fact, between 5,000 and 6,000 gallons per
hour. It is remarkable that the sites
of both bores were at the same level.
