pany played to a rather slim audience
on Saturday evening last, owing
mostly to the short announcement of
their coming. Those that renamed
at home missed a splendid entertain
ment. The company is good all
through, each one being suited to
their part and playing it to perfection.
Should they ever visit Krmball again,
which we hope they will do when
our new Opera House is completed,
We bcspeak for them a crowded

Some idea of the resources ofSouth
Dakota may be gathered from the
fact that advertisements are constant
ly appearing IN the papers CT parties
who desire stock to herd for the
season at $l.00 per head. The
wealth of the Dakota grasses is but
little understood in the East as yet,
but the fame Of South Dakota as a
stock country is fast becoming known
and high graded stock is coming in
this spring by the train load. There
Is millions in the business and we
glory in being in m of the "cow
counties"
John Lafabre, the editor of the
Chamberlain Democrat, passed
through Kimhall OF Sunday evening
on his return from Washington
where he has been laboring in the
interest of an early opening of the
reservation. He thinks the land IN
question will not be thrown open to
settlement before the coming fall, if
then, and from all we can learn is
rather discouraged over the matter.
This has been plainly evident in all
his writings from Washington. He
don't believe lndying about even SO
big a thing as the reservation. A
policy which is to his credit.
This is what the Philadelphia
Times has to say about the local news.
paper sit is the most useful and
least compensated and appreciated OF
all the agencies which stamp the i'm.
press of progress upon villages and
inland cities. Without the local
newspaper towns are, as arule, thrift
less and tend to decay. 1t is common
for small great men to speak with con.
J tempt Of the local newspaper. In
$ that they initiate greater men il
, speaking of greater journals which
otfends by manly criticism ; but the
village makes more me out of less
! matcrial-more bricks without straw
| than any other factor in politics, ane
| it is the one ladder on which mel
climb to distinction as the beginning
of wider fame. The local ncwspapel
!, is the life of its locality, as a rule
, measures the advancement of the PEG
j, pie.
