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 fine pub
lic school building, good church
es, a first-class postoftice, two
banks, two s'ood 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 mora 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
three additions, all adjoining*
with a continuation of streets
and alleys. Part ot wliich are
in acre lots, so as to enable all
classes to be suited in procuring
a residence lot The iuost de
sirable blocks on Main Street
are still lor 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 heeded. The
water is free from any alkali
taste and as pore as any found
in any of the Eastern States. In
short, the country, climate and.
social advantages make this one'
of the best, it not the very best,
county in Dakota for the emi
grant"

The fact that the municipal authori
ties of Mkt&oon, HI., directed that woman
who appeared on the streets in in un
belted Mother Hubbard ihould be sent
to jail, is a-fruitful topic of dog-day edi
torials in most of the leading newspapers
of the country. Some of them denounce
the order, but in the main, the subject
is treated in a style of humor that vast
ly increases the lassitude of the season.
With all the turmoil in Wall street
and the occasisnal tippling of business
houses, New York City is constantly
advancing in cosmopolitan greatness.
For the first six months ot 1884 the to
tal value of new buildings in New York
is placed at $29,308,756) against $26,
695,619 in alike portion of-1883 and
$26,443,245 in the first six months of
1882. The low price of building mate
rials, and particularly of iron, undoubt
edly had a good deal to do with the in
crease.
a
Recent figures show that the con
sumption of liquor in the United States
has far outstripped the growth of pop
ulaion. The number of gallons of
liquor consumed yearly has increased
as follows: 1840, 71,000,000 1850,
94,000,000 1860, 202,000,000 1870,
293,000,000 1880, 506,000,000 1883,
655,000,000. While the population has
only trebled in the lost forty years the
consumpti an of liquor is nearly ten
times greater than it was in 1840, and
the amount of money expended in its
purchase shows a still greater propor
tional increase. The annual expendi
ture for liquor now exceeds $800,000,
000.
The gold reserve in the United States
treasury is drained down ppry near to
the legal limit of the reserve and when
that is reached tlie Treasurer must make
his payments in other funds, which
means silver. If the Sub-Treasury
here has to pay its balance at the clear
ing house in silver the banks must take
it but it has been said that thirty days
thereafter they would suspend gold pay
ments. The fear of this has already
given rise to speculative contracts to
"call" gold at a given figure for the
rest of the year. As soon as the banks
suspend gold payments, gold commands
a premium, and depreciated silver be
comes the common standard currency.
A "bank president," name not given,
is quoted as saying: "There is more
danger from a discussion of the falling
off of the gold in the hands of tho Treas
urer, as it is likely to cause a panic, than
from the operation of any law of finance
it may set in motion. He referred
to tho propensity for hoarding, whioh
inevitably follows the appreciation of
metals over paper or one metal over.an
other used as calculating mediums,
The present agitation in Great Brit
ain over tke extension of the electoral
franchise will form one of the most im
portant epochs in English history,
whatever be the resnlt—and a brief
statement of the question at issue will in
terestreaders of foreign news. The fran
chise in Great Britain is limited to cc?
tain- described classes. In 1832 the
number of voters'was less than a mil
lion, which was increased by the fran
chise bill of that year, to abont 1,200,
000. In 186G the total number of voters
was 1,364,000, which was raised by the
franchise bills passed in 1867-69 to 2,
450,000. The present number of voters
is about 3,000,000. Under the
present law only a few of
the farm laborers of the' United King
dom are permitted to vote. For par
liamentary purposes all of Great Britain
is divided into boroughs (the populous
town) and counties (which include the
districts outsicfe the towns). In the
counties only those who own property
or pay an annual rent of $60 can "vote.
Small as this sum is. it is very high rent
in Great Britain, where the majority of
farm laborers pay from $15 to a
year rent for their dwellings. The olje»v
of the bill which is the occasion of the
iexsting excitement is to give
the country people the same
privileges which the town people enjoy.
The provisions of the bill were out
lined at length by Gladstone in one of
the greatest speeches of his life deliv
ered the last day of Febuary last. In
that speech he declared that the bill, if
it passed, would add to the English
constituency over 1,300,000 persoils
to the Scotch constituency—Scotland
being at present rather better provided
than either of the other two counteries
—over 200,000 persons, and' to the
Irish constituency over 400,000 or in
the main, to the present aggregate con
stituency of the United Kingdom of
3,000,000 it will add 2,000,000 more—
nearly, twice as much as was added sinoa
1867, and more than four times as
much aa was added in 1832. The mani
fest justice of the bill caused it to pass
the House of Commons by an almost
unanimous vqte, most of the Conserra-
fei.
