llIE HERALD has moved into It's own,
house. Just as soon as we can get the
blocks shavings and saWl,lst ont OF the
cases we will devote more time to the
work Of getting ap the paper. In the
meantime come Il MS; forth side
OF Main Street.
Billy Franklin passed through here
last Wednesday With G. K. Howard's
drove OF blooded stock which he was
taking to the ranch on the Cheyenne
river. The drove numbered six hun
dred, and were in good condition, but
three having died since leaving Sioux
Falls.
The storm OF last Friday night was
the most severe of the season. 1t
seemed to rise not far north of here
and gained in volume as it passed
along. no damage was done in town
but we learn that south of here a claim
shanty was blown down and at Plan
kinton d two-story building nearly
complete was broken in two
ID. y. Scott has been putting in his
time to good advantage, with a compe-
tent force of assistants in clearing out
the Springs and trimming up the trees
around the banks. All the shade trees
are being utilized and a large number
of rustic seats put in. About twenty
five acres around the Springs have been
reserved for Park and it makes just
the incest place in the northwest to
spend a day. Come and see for your
selves.
Burt Orr is q genius in the livery
line; his horses are trained to thaG ex-
tent that when parties who hire them
fail to find the corner stakes they Ghe
horses hunt them On their own ac-
count, At least that's the result OF a
recent land trip as described by one OF
our land firms. A broken buggy
tongue was the only damage done.
Rev M'ilmot Whitfield, Who has Just.
returned from central Dakota, says it
is probable that the Methodist univer-
sity for Dakota will be located ut Nit
chell or OrdWay, both towns having
made good bids. Why shouldn't Yanll-
ton take Il hand? 1t didn't participate
in the capital bidding" = Yankton
Press
1t seems to us that we heard a very
fellaDie party once say thaJ thlS uni
yersity was to be located, positively
within a gunshot Of the HERALD Of
fee. You mast lie off a little Mr..
Press
BY reference to another column it
will be seen that some of our people at
least desire to have .Ierauld county rep
resented at theSioux Falls Convention
1t was a shame that the county was not
at Huron; but at this time
we can only learn by the experience of
the past that if the people desire rep
resentation they must take such steps
as will entitle them to such representa-
ton, Let us come together then next
Wednesday afternoon and choose
man, one who has the in
teresJ .of the whole people at heart,
man who has no hobby TO ride, {; man
who is above petty spites and who ris-
ing above party politics viii act for the
best interest OF all concerned. Let ey-
cry one turn out.
