John Lafabre, editor of the Cham
berlain Democrat received notice Sat
urday of his appointment as Receiver
of the Deadwood land office. While
we shall greatly miss the Judge from
Brule county, nevertheless we rejoice
in his good luck and congratulate the
administration upon SO excellent a
choice.
A Shanghi hen, confined i'll a tall,
odd shaped box addressed to E. G.
Wills, attracted considerable attention
by depot loungers Tuesday. We
don't know whether the fowl was of
the Shanghi species or not, at any
rate it was the highest hen we ever
saw and we can't imagine what Wills
wants of it.
Pat Kinney has the reputation of
being a very accommodating railroad
er, but we are inclined to think the
yarn about his stopping his train this
side of White Lake, and backing up
one hundred rods to get a lost hand
kerchief for a young and pretty wild
ow, is a campaign lie gotten up to
increase his popularity.
The recent Methodist conference
at Huron appointed the Rev. w. b.
Affect to take charge of the NJ. E.
| church in Kimball. Mr.. Affect is
so we'll known in Kimball and els
where as being one of the ablest
ministers in Dakota, an Introduction
seams unnecessary. Mr.. Affect will
assume his new duties q week from
Sunday.

The Democratic committeeman of
Brule county held a meeting at Puk-
wana Wednesday. j. I. Hoover was
elected chairman, in place of John
Lafabre resigned. No other business
was transacted awaiting the action of
the meeting OF the territorial COM
mittee held at Mitchell this week, of
which we go to press too early to
make a report.
We were on a western-bound train
not long since. 1t grew dusk and
the porter lighted the lamps.
Just at this juncturc the train inter
fered with the progress of a wayfar-
ing polecat. Then it was that q fas-
tidious young lady rose up, and in
quick, firm tones called out: "Porter,
if these kerosene lamps are going to
smell this way all night you may
help me off at the ext station!."
II. E. Gates went TO Huron Friday
last to attend a meeting of the direc-
tors of the new Mutual Insurance Co.
of which he is a director and vice presi'
dent. The sl,500,oo0 of insurance
which must be obtained before a
charter can be gwen has been raised.
Gen. Pease, of WATERFOWL, started
for Bismark Tuesday after the char
ter, which the directors Of the com
pany think there will be no trouble in
obtaining.
A friend who has just returned
from abroad writes us the following
incident: "In Dresden | met a young
German officer who had just returned
from a trip in America. He was
pleased with our country, but was
lost in amaze at its magnificent dis
t%ances. 4 landed he said, lin New
York. l was going to st. Louis. ]
travelled four days directly west. !
reached St. Louis, and there they
asked me IT. was going West'!!"
If the conclusions a woman has
reached are sound that is all that con
Germs us. And that they are very aptto
be sound, on the practical matters of
domestic and secular life, nothing but
prejudice or self-conceit can prevent
us from acknowledging. The ipfer-
ence, therefore, is unavoidable that
the man who thinks it beneath his
dignity to take counsel from an intel
ligent wife stands in his own light,
and betrays that lack Of judgment
which he tacitlY attributes to her.
