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 oi the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, 48 miles west ol Mitchell and* 22 miles east oi Chamberlain. It has a line pub lic school building, good church es, a lirst-class postoffice, two banjis, two cood hotels, one large grain elevator and mate rial on the ground for another, thr&e lumber yards, all .ai rying 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 the toivnsite 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. WABNER, Proprietor ot' the original town site, has, platted and laid out three additions, all adjoining, with a continuation of slreets and alleys. Part ot 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 ^ill 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 Tlesired and' is -fully as mild as that of Ohio, Indiana and Il linois, witli, 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 bfst, it not the very best, county in Dakota for the.emi: grant For further particulars, call on or address •*XA D.

A1is^ w. v7yp^''—- ^w*J£,' KIMBALL, BRULE COUNTY, DAKOTA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1884 DAKOTA NEWS NOTES. OtBolal Crop keporta of DikotoTttrltoti The United States statistical agent for Da kota makes the following report for September: The month of August, although accompanied by heavy rains, has been otherwise favorable for securing the crops. In some localities ol North Dakota harvesting is not yet completed. Walsh county harvest only commenced about the 33d of August, and it is represented as the* best crop raised in four years, although it is reported that there is considerable smut in it Until last year no complaint was made of injury to wheat from smut in the territory this year it is to a greater or less extent quite general. It is confined principally to the soft varieties. As all wheat in which smut is- found is graded no higher than No. S, it will cause farmers to exer cise more oare in the choice of theit seed in tho fntnre. It is nqt generally un derstood, or *t least regardod, that as much care Bhould be used in tho selection of seed, at in blood in raising pure stock. The Russians in some localities oi the southern counties ot the territory, by repeatedly sowing an indif ferent quality of wheat, deteriorated the pro in til if is dnot until almost worthless. Stutsman county reports exceptionally fine crops. The whole of North Dakota, in fact, has a line yield of small grain. It will average much better than last year and better than South Dakota. Last year it was just the reverse. The heavy rain storms ih th^.third week of harvest dam aged grain & rar cent in Cass county and 3 per cent in Burleigh and Barnes counties. Threshing is just beginning in North Dakota, while it is in full blast in the south. The yield generally in the south is not quite up to'the ex ectation, although the quality is better than ast year. The report is universal that the farmers of tho territory will not market th«ii wheat at present prices unless thoy are obliged to do so, to.liquidate demands against them, that their wishes will be practically nullified. COBN. The corn crop gives promise of the beat field ever produced in the territory, the coun ties in which it is the leading crop with ten days more favorable weather will be out of the way of harm from frost, and in fifteen days that planted in season throughout the territor ry will be safe. Many fields are already ripe, and some have been cut up. The yield of Irish potatoes is not as good as is usual, the first seed planted in new soil for four years have, with but little attention or cultivation, given remarkable yields, whidh has accustomed us to such generous returns that we look opon a fair crop with some dis appointment There was a short dry spell that affected the crop to some 'extent. The price last year did not justify shipping exten sively, and this may be partly the cause for less attention than when the tubers were a profitable crop. OTHER PRODUCTS. The farmers are just finishing hay making from the bine joint and other native prairie grasses. In the ValleyB of the Missouri, Sioux, Vermillion tad James or Dakota rivers, hay can beput in'the stack at a cost of ^5 cents per The flax crop has become an important one to South Dakota, and the indications are that 3,000,000 bnshelsof seed will be harvested this year. While some of the crop has been marketed there are fields not yet ripe. It was sown from the first of April nntu the mid dle of June. It is selling at the ele vators for 91 to' tlflO per bushel, and is being marketed quite freely as the price is sat isfactory to the .producers. There is an in crease in the number of stock hogs for fat tening compared with last year of 30 per cent The low pr^ce of grain and the high price of ork is the self-evident cause. Tho cattle of he,territory are generally healthy no cases of pleuro-pneumonia have been reported.

The oeremony of laying the corner stone of the main huilding of the Dakota University at Mitchell, Dak., was witnessed Wednesday af ternoon by a large concourse of people from Mitchell and all the surrounding towns and country. A procession was formed on Main street and marched out to the university grounds, where the basement walls of the building stand. The address was made by Bishop Andrew^, who presides over the Dako ta mission conference, and addresses were also made by Mrs. 3. Ellen Foster, Dr. Brush, Dr.' Pardee and Bev. Wilmot Whitfield. A sub scription to the university building fund was opened and six one-thousand-dollar subscrip tions were made by businues men of Mitchell, beside a number smaller sums. A tin box was embedded in the corner stone containing among other things, each of all the leading daily and -some of the weekly papers of the territory, beside a nnmber of religious papers and several documents relating to the M. E. church. The idea of founding a groat university un der the auspices of the M. E. church in South Dakota has exhisted Bince that church began its first missionary labors in the territory. The plan took definite shape, in the spring of 1883, when a university board was -appointed by the church, with Dr. J. N. Pardee, then of Sioux City, at the head. This board drew out 1 plan for a full-fledged university, and filed arti,-'— articles of incorporation, and proceeded to lay their plans before some of the leading towns in the south half of the territory. From tho first fortuno favored Mitchell in the contest, and the meeting of oonferenoe held at Huron in tho fall of li&VQie inducements offerod by Mitchell were so much superior to those offered by any othor place that Mitchell was selected as the most available site for the proposed uni versity. The foundation and superstructure will be built of Sioux Falls granite, a variety of which is found in that locality. The main building willjbethrea stories above the baser ment, jvill be trimmpdjWith out stone, the whole design being very handsome and symmetrical in all its details. Hio laying ot the corner stone initiates the erection of the superstruc ture, and work will be ^pshed so as to have part of the building enofoBed, wis winter, if possibly ready for use Judge Francis, the new judge, took his oath of office before Judge Hudson, at Fargo, and entered upon the duties of his office in earnest. a The insane asylum at Jamestown will be ready fotuse by Oct. 1.
