while disposing of their goods at al
most the same figures as obtained
when corn was low.-New York Mail
and Express.
The scarcity of the corn and its
accompanying high price is due to
the fact thst Frank Smith ate up the
entire Dakota production last winter
and then wept because .shere was 20
more fields to eat up We understand
Frank Is going to build a large dry
house: in the rear of his store to hold
his winter supply. Now is the time
to make your contract with him.
DR. Ross has commenced surgery
in earnest. On'Monday he removed
from the eye-bal1 of Herbert Dicken-
son a growth called perygium. 1t re-
quires a steady hand and a skillful
knowledge of the anatomy Of the eye
to perform the operation successfully
as the Doct. operated IN this case.
On the day following he removed a
large tumor Of a morbid character
from the eye-lid of Augustus Rink.
From the rapidity of the operation
and the skill displayed IN the case
we are confident we have in our
midst a surgeon second to none in
this part of the Territory.
Water everywhere-at least it APP
pears that way on Warmers first addi-
ton to Kimball. The we'll drillers
struck a splendid well at a depth of
only 81 feet last week, which was
left and the drilling machine placed
in position one block farther south.
On Wednesday, at a depth of $50
feet, the workman struck a large
vein of water in the second well, the
water rising instantly 40 feet. The
vein was struck in a bed of coarse
sand Immediately after going through
a deep bed of llue clay, and is with.
out doubt a big vein, amply sufficient
to supply all Of that part of the town.
Both of the new wells will be rugged
up with first class pumps. The well
drillers say there is no question but
what water can be easily obtained on
any lot in that part Of the town.
The public installation of officers
of the Good Templars lodge at the

The KimbalI Garphic contains a
very sound editorial on local politics.
The opinions expressed are very
much in accordance with our own.
MIR. Than does not believe in draw
ing party lines in County politics.
In national politics where the actions
of men are largely governed by
known party principles, it is right
and important to identify yourself
with a party but in County matters
it is only worth while to vote for the
most progressive men, who represent
the best principles and who have
integrity enough to thwart every
effort made to mould them in with a
clique or ring and barter their in
fuence for personal preferment-Puk-
wana Press.
We have never been absent press
day but what we have sworn seven
if it once was so it must never be so
again." Last week in our comments
on the "Mother Hubbards" we wrote
of the garment: which as hest de-
scribed as being something secured
at the neck and let go where it darn
pleases, and the "intell,gent compost
tor" made it read damn pleases. We
hope our readers will accept this apol-
ICY when we inform them the body
of the aforesaid typo lies with that of
the dead mule below the park, the
food for dogs, bugs, and "sich," the
two carcasses furnishing a most de-
lightful aroma to the delicate nostrils
of moonlight promenaders. As pub
fishing the only strictly moral paper
IN Dakota we will, if necessary, kill a
man every week but what the col
umns of the GRApnlc shall be free
from anything that will offend the
most fictitious.
The Gale-Foote troubles are end
ed, Mr.. Gale having withdrawn all
suits and turned over the Bank of
Kimball property to Mr.. Footc. The
confidence the Kimball people have,
