With sad heart, the young man re-

seemed to unite his destiny with that of
his commander was fully realized on this
day, for, just as the victory was gained,

When the crescent of the young moon

sign of dry weather, because in that posi-
tion it holds all the water, thus prevent

sign OF wet weather, the explanation in
this case being that waterful moon is
embiematical of a water soaked earth.

Thousands of tons of Limburger cheese
are produced every season, mostly in the
states of New York and Wisconsin, at a
cost of less than half that of the import
ed article. It finds it's market, and is
! consumed mostly by our German-Amer-
lean population. It is more profitable
to the farmer and maker than any other
kind OF cheese, because from a given
quantity of milk more weight is obtained
and better prices are realized.
1t is said on good authority that beef
| keeps up as high as it was seven years
ago. This shows the necessity of farmers
who wish to increase their profit making
use of superior bulls to cross on common
stock. Among the best for the purpose
of beef, are the Shorthorns. the Heretords
and the Devons. Bulls of these superior
breeds can be purchased now at very low
prices, and farmers make great mistake
in not availing themselves of these where
they are not already supplied. A short.
horned bull crossed on Texas or any
other equally inferior COW, gives cali
worth double, and sometimes thrice the
price of that got by a common bull.

KISSING FOR A WAGER.

At a party Of young people 10 Paris, con-
versation happened to turn on the subject of
kissing, and the question was propounded
who Of the young men present could boas.
Of having given, or being able to give, his
"girl" the most kisses. Various were the
replies this question called out. Finally .
young man and the girl to whom he was
betrothed bet two hundred francs that they
could kiss 10000 times in ten hours, pro-
viding they would be allowed to take an
occasional glass OF wine "between." Two
persons were appointed a committee to count
the number Of kisses and the work began.
During the frat hour they counted 1000
kisses. During the second hour kisses we're
not nearly as numerous, for the committee
only counted 1000. After the third hour,
during which they managed to score but
75O. further operations were brought to q
sudden s,andstill. The lips of the young
man we're seized with cramp, and hs vaa
carried off in fainting condition. The
girl few days later was stricken With brain
fever, which nearly carried her off to . land
where kissing, under any form, is unknown
When the people who had won the bel
demanded their money the parents of the
girl refused to paw her share of it. The
matter was then taken 10 the courts, and
there it was decided that the bet must be
paid.

A Sioux Valley Paper Starts Boom in
His Favor.
Sioux Valley News.
During the past week We have had sub.
stautial reason to believe that the people Of
this county would gladly support Col. Camp.
bell of Sioux Falls, in preference to any
other resident of the territory, outside Of
Lincoln county. While we believe that
Lincoln county should urge the claim of
Judge Clifford, as second choice, there lie
no man in the Sioux Valley that would com.
mand such enthusiastic support from the re-
publican party in this county as Col. Camp
bell.
We have been asked why he has not de-
clared himself a candidate and been flying
around" to secure the nomination.
The fact is he does not seek" the nomi.
nation, but if the people demand his candi-
dacy he will not refuse. The gallant colonel,
while possessing brilliant war record, is as
modest as he is brave, and will never worry
his friends BY begging their support. In bis
case the "ofice seeks the man."
A promin. mt business man of Sioux Falls
told US not long since that a Campbell cam.
pa,gn fund of $500 could be raised in few
hours among the business men of Sioux
Falls" and added that Minnehaha county
would get up the biggest kind Of boom for
Col. Campbell.
There is no man in the county who woulc
receive such enthusiastic support by III,
voters Of Clay county, irrespective of party
as Col. B. F. Campbell, and in Union snt
Yankton counties a strong following coult
be counted Oh. Then why not demand tha

party in the coming campaign.
