amiable traits of character he inherits
from his mother, while he will be re-

Cal, OFT is in luek and no mistake;
when he began digging his well he was
confident II was not far to water; at
seven feet he found an abundance of
the very best Of water, and the vein so
strong that it flows a strong stream
over the top, This, together with it's
location, makes this ore of the most
valuable claims In the netghborhood.
w. j. Brakeman, one of the editors
OF the Washington Springs HERALD
was In town over Tuesday night, on his
way to Grant county, where he has
landed possessions. We acknowledge
a call.-DeSmet News, We suppose
they mean w. /. Bateman. Charley,
you had better have put your gold
mine stock into an education 80 you
could read Billy's "copper-plate."
The West and Northwest are the
places for young men of muscle and
courage. When young man quits
the oyerheated life of the city, and
casts In his lot with the toiling millions
upon the fertile prairies, he begins to
live, aud his children will have reason
to rise up and bless him. 1t is the place
to raise men and women, and it is Just
the thing this country needs.-Ex.
One week from tomorrow will be
" Children's day" in the services of ttse
church. The day will be observed by
the Sunday School here with an exten-
sive programme Of recitations, concert
exercises, and special choruses by the
choir. It is the intention to make the
room as attractive as possible for the
little ones, and that all who attend will
not simply be entertained but benefited
as well.
Last Tuesday fellow tried to drive
through a large pile of dirt which had
been left on the street, and which a
few moments later was distributed in
the street by the workmen thereon. OF
course he could not do it successfully,
and some folks are so foolish as TO
think that he was mired in a mud hole.
STANDARD.
Such explanations may do down
there, but teamsters can generally tell
the difference between dirt pile and
a mud hole.
The Washington Springs HEn AID of
last week contained quarter column
article relative to the Aurora county
court house question, but no one can
tell what the editor Of that paper
thinks about this matter or how he
stands upon the question by reading
said article. It WAS badly mixed
[Standard.
Better read the item again, then, we
ape willing you should have two court
houses if you want them, but why ask
for $4,000 to build $4,000 OF $4,000
building? That's all, Barkis is willin'
As Mr.. Beach and family were on
their way to church last Sunday, riding
three on seat, a stone in the track
threw Mr.. Beach out of the wagon
falling between the wheels, his feet
being tangled in the lines. The hind
wheel of the wagon passed over one Of
his ankles, and before the mules could
be stopped he was pretty badly bruis-
ed. There being several parties near
at hand he was taken into Messrs. Tar
BILE & Woodburn's building and cared
for, after which he went on to church.
We hope his injuries may not prove Sc
rious.
