CHEEK.
How n Drummer Failed to Recog.

hize His own Brand of whisky.
IL is the cardinal creed of a whisky
drummer to sniff up his nose at all
liquor not supplied by his particular
house, and extol the virtue of the
brand that he is peddling. One Of the
gentry arrived in Eureka from a rather
extended tour yesterday, having been
absent from headquarters for a period
OF six weeks. He started in for bust.
ness Immediately, and taking in one OF
our hrst-class saloons, commenced set
ting 'em up for the crowd, including
the proprietor. 1t so happened that
during his absence from San Francisco,
the saloon keeper, who was an old GUS
toner OF the house that the drummer
was soliciting for, had chopped. and
ordered a couple of barrels from the
flrm. and h t~ar-keeper had set out
the Identical whisky. Mr.. Smarty
was ignorant of this fact. and his nose
went up clear on top of his head. He
swallowed the contents of the glass
under protest, and then takingt the boss

that cheek or his one PARTICLE? Oh, no!
He just took in the situation in a mo.
ment, and exclaimed, "Well, confound

"Careful men, these Eureka saloon
Keepers" said an old stiff as he rose
from a sitting posture at the foot of the
El Dorado saloon stairway, a point that
he had reached by the aid of the strong
arm and vigorous foot of the proprie-
tor, ''they are wonderfully considerate,
and if they do bounce a fellow with a
rapidity seldom equalled and never
eXcelled, they provide rubber on the
stairs. so that the fall results in no
bruises" The old bum thought that
the article had been placed there on
purpose to render the descent of his
kind less painful than would be the
case were the wood left bare.

natural humor of the representation.
The Stock Report comments as follows:
Denman Thompson, in the role OF
Joshua Whitcomb, continues to draw
large and increasing audiences. The
merit of the performance lies in the ar

Yankee character, and he is rarely
faithful to nature in his portrayal. The

made a comical object of interest, and
old Whitcomb is such a genuine old

a little gem in its way, clear cut as an

A WONDERFUL CURE.


The medicinal virtues of coin have
not been eYtolled sufficiently. Certifi-
Gates of the wonderful cures effected
by herbs and decoctions abound, but
we call to mind a case where a hand
I'm sum of money restored a sufferer
to his normal health. 1t was an Incl
dent where a man had his spine per-
manently injured by a stage accident,
and sued the company for damages.
The jury awarded him a compensation
way up in the thousands. The poor
man was broken in health, and accord
ing to the testimony of medical eX-
pertS, was simply dragging out a mis-
cradle existence. The case MAS appealed
to the Supreme Court, and during the
time 1t was pending, the invalid crawled
around, apparently tottering on the
brink of the grave. The higher Court
affirmed the award, and there was no
possibility of a come back. The decis-
ion had a wonderful effect. The rosy
tlnge of health flushed his cheek, he
assumed an erect posture, and IN fact
the cure was speedy and complete.
Now he saws wood and lifts wagons
out of mud holes, just for exercise.
All this happened away back twenty
years ago, and no one need hunt up
any recent examples. fthey do, they
Will get off wrong.

A Reported Prospect that the River
Will shortly Change its Bed In that
Vicinity.
The indications are that the question
of cutting a ditch at the great river bend
below Vermill'on, causing the river to
flow across q narrow neck of land 81
miles south of Vermillion, will be solved
by the continued action of the river with
out the intervention of any aid by man.
The neck of land is very narrow and the
people residing in the vicinity are enabled
to get in a boat and row down stream to
Vcrmillion, go around the bend and re,
turn to the other side of the isthmus, a
few rods from where they started, their
voyage to aud from town being all down
stream. The river is slowly and c0ntinu-
ally cutting into the isthmus Oh both
sides and during the recent high water it
has made more rapid encroachments. So
that it is a question Of not very long time
when the town of Vermillion will be left
from three to three and a half miles away
from the river.
The citizens Of VermilIion are some.
what divided upon the question whether
it will be a good thing for the town to
have the channel of the river so changed.
but the majority, we are informed, are
inclined to the opinion that it will be a
good thing. The river is regarded as of
no positive benefit to the place and its
continual en~croachments upon the banks.
and its threatened obstruction of valuable
property near the town, make it q posi-.
tive detriment, hence the agitation al.
ready had upon the question o. making a
new channel across the isthmua-Siour

number present, and everything passed
off pleasantly. The ice cream was delic.
ious and the tables were arranged with

attention, aud the bidding was lively.

guess cake caused some merriment, and
fell to G. W. Beggs. 1t was finally sold
at auction-C. w. blushed q little when
it was announced that it contained
a small "nigger baby" and said he
would not have bid SO much had
he known it. The receipts were about
$500, and the net proceeds something
over $4,000. Much praise is due to the
ladies who got up the entertainment.
The band boys have always been ready
to play on all proper occasions and this
is the first recognition they have received
by our citizens.

As the average claim comprises about 100
acres the total number of acres filed upon
is over $4,000. The above is aside from
the cash entries and final proofs. Neither
| does it include all the land taken by peo-
pie who look upon Sioux Falls as their

been taken in Turner, McCook and the
west half of Lake county, which section
