A few week since the hadez adver-
tised its "Steam Print" and lately

We at once telegraphed to Chicago.
and our job-work hereafter will bear
the imprint stating that we have the
only and original "Electrlc Print" in
South Dakota.-Znde1
Our valued contemporary has in
dulged in bit of useless extrava-
gance. 1t should have ordered a
gas motor. Such a machine would
be an excellent contrivance for util-
izing the superfluous gas which gen.
crates with such spontaneity in the

Then, again, Thorndyke, Gas Printer,
would be much more consistent than
either "Thorndyke, Legal Printer"
"Index Steam Print" or Electric

and shoes belonging to the estate of
D. Warner has been bought by
Joseph Harker and I. w. Bird, Of
Aurelia, Iowa, who will continue the
business at the old stand, under the

Bird will have charge Of the business
of the firm, Mr.. Harker remaining
in Aurelia, where he is engaged in
the same business. Both gentlemen
have been engaged in the general
merchandise business for years, and
MIR. Bird is young man of spirit and
enterprise, who will not only push
the business to the utmost, guided
and aided by the experienced hand of
MIR. Harker, but will also be a valu-
able and welcome addition to Kim
balls list Of wide-awake, energetic
pushing business men. We antici-
pates a successful career for the
new firm.
Mr.. IIarKer will move to Kimball
as soon as he can make the necessary
arrangements.

Amerit.d Compliment.

Sheriff Mcdonald, of Sioux City,
in speaking of the capture of Trout
at Pukwana to Journal reporter
said: ga man has no chance of escape
if he takes up the Milwaukee, as the
best lot of officers in the west are
along that road, and just as soon as
Trout took his course up along that
road l knew that be would surely he
caught sooner or later" With Sher-
if Ryan at one end of the county and
Jack Foster at the other, Brule county
is certainly mighty unsafe place for
fugitives from justice.

Klmball has purchased fire engine
as the force from the artesian we'll
was insufficient to throw stream of
water.-Pldnkinton Standard.
Kimball's fire engine was purchased
months before our artesian we'll was
thought of; and while the artesiaa
we'll has not quite enough pressure to
afford the best of fire protection
unaided, yet it has force enough to
throw a stream from a hydrant and
hose over any two-story building in
town. The we'll with our water
works and fire apparatus gives lis as
good fire protection as any city in
Dakota.
