The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1885-02-20

N. B. Alger set a lamp on his bed
room table, the other evening, to read
a love letter, or something, and had
the misfortune to burn the rear ex-
tremity Of his shirt. He says now
that he will not be a candidate for
matrimony for the next six months

He would probably made it a year
had he burnt the front extremity.
All the money paid out for interest
on bonds will be sent outside the
county, and is. therefore a dead loss,
while the owners of warrants are pre-
sumably residents of the county and
receive the benefit of the interest.
The loss from discounts is simply from
one person in the county to another,
therefore the county looses nothing.
Keep your money in circulation at
home liz just as good logic for Brule
county as it is for the nation. We
are unalterably opposed to the bond
ing of Brule county in order to take
up It's floating debt.-BVou Hills
Times.
A number of u exchanges seem
to be excited about the woman who is
the mother of seventy-two children.
There is no use being excited. She
simply did all she could to multiply
the population according to the teach
ings Q" the bible White Lake Dis
patch.
Oh no, no use of an outsider being
excited not at all, but the dad that
has to hump himself every thirty days
to buy seventy pair of shoes, he's the
man to get wild. Great Caesar! if he
goes to heaven he'll think it quiet
over there, wont he?
A Kimball man in dressing for the
donation party at the opera house last
Friday night discovered, for about the
hundredth time in his life, the neck
button off Of his only clean shirt.
To make matters more provoking his
wife was over assisting at the enter
tainment. After reciting the litany
and the Lords prayer he took the lid
off of a tin backing box punched two
holes in it with a fork, sewed it on
the shirt and put it back in the drawer
for a gentle reminder that he needed
q donation of buttons about as bad as
anything. When he went to change
his shirt Sunday he found she had
taken the hint; she had made a but
ton hoh to .ftn
Mark Ward, one Of the representa-
tives from this district, has introduced
a bill in the Legislature providing for
a special election in May for the relo-
cation of %thecounty seat Of Brule coun-
ty. The bill passed the House by only
N dissenting vote, viz: Parshall of
Hanson county. ~ voted in favor of
the bill. Up to the time of our going
to press no further news has arrived.
but the bill will, without a doubt, pa, S
the council, receive the Governors
signature and become a law, and the.
county seat will be moved to Kimb ali,
the proper place for it, where 70 ar
fifths of the farmers of the county W.: int
it, and where all but 2l9 voters out
side Of Chamberlain voted to move it
last fall, out of a total nurlb Der of
nearly 1900 votes cast.
The following description of. how
the liquid in hand fire grer,ades are
made is from a recent issue of the
Scientific 1merican.
The liquid in hand gren AIDES for e1-
tinguishing fires consists OF sodium
chloride, ammonium chic ride, and hy-
%drochloric acid dissolved in water,
with the addition of pots ssIum carbon
ate, and subsequently sodium bicar-
Donate, and last of all a little free
c~rystalized ~tartaric acid is added.
The object of such a mixture is the
generation of carbo,lic acid at the
time of the fire, SO tn at if you can ar
range to have a solution of some
c%arbonates, sodium or potassium, so
placed that in the event of fire a free
acid Of same charac ter can be brought
in contract with the liquid, thereby
generatiog the cart'a ,ic acid gas your
purpose will be aeco mplished.

hers term as receiver of the Mitchell
land Office expires on the 3rd of
March. Maj. N. H. Rowley, of
Mitchell, is a candidate for the posi-
ton, and we hope to chronicle his
success in securing the appointment.
A better man than the Maj, never sat
out doors and spit in the house.
A Missourian reports that in the town
where his paper is published "a rat
tlesnake was killed the other day by
a man with thirteen rattles." He is
probably the same editor who wrote
that "a child was u overb by a wagon
three years old and cross eyed with
pantalcts which never spoke again.+*
