An interesting communication on
county affairs from Hon. w. II. Cur
tiss will be found in this issue of the
GRAPHIC under the head of "corres-

pleased TO publish articles from
others on the subject of bonding the
county. Let the matter be thorough

The house of o. NJ. Jones, one and
a half miles north of town, caught fire
from some cause unknown and burned
to the ground on Thursday last. No
one was on the premises at the time
except MIR. Jones who was busy at
work in the barn. He only discovered
the fire in time to save an organ. a
gasoline stove and a little bedding,
burning his face s%everly in so doing.
Loss estimated to be'about $1,000 in
sured IN the Cedar Rapids Iowa Com
pany, u. G. Smith agent, for $500.
The loss is thus a severe n to Mr..
Jones and wife, including as it does
all their personal effects, many of
which money cannot replace.
We are talking of putting a steam
whistle on Il water works that can
be heard twenty-five miles, just so as
to take in Kimball. The one at At
l%antic, Iowa, can be heard twenty
eight miles. Wonder if those Kim
bal! fellows who have such a good
trade would not contribute something
for our whistle just to hear it blow on
a still morning. How is it Bro. Ham
mond and Tinan, lets take up a col
lection, and then you can blow it
when you come down. Chamberlain
Register.
If the editor of the Register can
not do all the blowing necessary for
Chamberlain, "thc fellows who have
such a good trade" will be only too
happy to buy him a little whistle to
toot with.
What is the cur for gossip? Simp-
ly culture. There is a great deal of
gossip that has no malignity in it.
Good natured people talk about their
nelghbors because-and only because
they have nothing else TO talk about.
Gossip is always a personal confess
sion of either malice or imbecility,
and the young should not only shun
1T, but should with the most careful
watehfulness guard themselves against
every temptation to indulge in it. 1t
is low, frivolous, and too often a dirty
business. There are country neigh
borhoods in which it RACES like a pest.
Churches are split in pieces by it. In
many persons it degenerates into a
chronic disease which is practically
incurable.
The Baker House at White Lake
burned TO the ground on Friday night
last. The fire started in the water
closets which were part of the
building. 1t is not known how the
fire started the superstition being from
a lamp explosion or from a Lighted
cigar being thrown among a lot
waste paper. When the fire was dis
covered at 2:3o A. N. a .few pals of
water aoouM haze e.rtuieguished 1t, but
no water was to be had The build
ing was owned by Hooper Bros. aud
insured for $500. A. F. Cilley, the
landlord, was to have vacated the
house next day. He looses about
500. The hotel was one of the best
in this part of Dakota and the loss is
a severe one to White Lake.
The rooms of DR.. Hollinger are
over the GRAPHIC Office on the left
hand side as you ascend the stairs.
On the opposite side of the hall are
the rooms of the editor of the GRAPH
&c and the foreman. Now we want
this remembered because about every
other night some n pounds on our
door with the exclamation "Doctor!
Doctor! come as quick as you can to"
