How the Varsity Team VIII Summer-The

The challenge Of the Winston, y. c., base

uons of the South, is, according to the few
University Of Virginia men remaining in the
city. absurd The Winston team. they say,
must know that the University team has dis

that went on between the two clubs

THE OUTDOOR POOR.
The Headquarters Have Been Removed--Ths
Old Postofiice.

The headquarters Of the Department for
Outdoor Poor, which for some time past have
been in the basement of the Exchange Hotel.
have Just been removed 20 No IL north Four
teenth street. on the opposite side. The rooms
are rather small, but they are the best to be
had for the present. They have been leased
for one year, and it is hoped that at the end of
that term the office can be moved into tho
new City Hall
The department is under the Jurisdiction of
the city almshouse and is under the control of
superintendent Richard w. Carter
Before the erection of the custom-house
the quarters just given up were used as the
city postoffice. When lotteries were in exis-
tence under State law in Virginia nearly all
the offices under the Exchange Hotel and q
number OF other places in that vicinity were
used as lottery Offices Prior to 1850 Four
teenth streetfrom there to Franklin was about
the best known section of the city. and the
postoffice remained there for some years later.

FIVE MINUTES WITH THE MAJOR.
His Mail Has Become So Heavy That He
Has to Employ a Stenographer.

ms 10 Employ Stenographer.
Mayor Ellyson is not as busy man ms he
was some weeks ago-not because he has less
TO do than formerly. but because he has en-
ployed a stenographer
This affords the Mayor great relief. as his
mail is probably the heaviest Of a personal
kind received by any one person in the CITY.
Besides the correspondence addressed 10
him as the chief executive of the city,
he has to answer hundreds Of letters
from county chnirmen by virtue of his
being the Democratic State chairman. and
many other letters n n personal or political
character. AS Mr.. Elyson is treless and
pelnstaking correspondent he has here
tofore handled all of his letters with
out assistance, and has daily done
an amount of work that few other
men could have equalled But the pressure
of his correspondence has been so great that
he has at length been compelled to employ
secretary who will in the future attend to the
least important of his letters.
Mr. Ellyson will not take vacation this
summer but will endure the hot days and
hotter nights as best be can in this city.

A Bad Fire at Armour.


The west side of Main street from the
north end to the corner of Main and First
streets was completely d%estroyedb by fire on
Friday morning of last week.
1t was to Armour what it would be to
Kimball il the business houses from
Plummer's to Kinsella's should lie a
smouldering mass OF ruins. What effect
it would have on the town IL can easily
imagine.
The fire started in the Tribune office
about 4 O'Clock a. m. The town was
without means of any kind for extinguish-
ing fire. A flow of water had been stuck
in the new arteslan well just the day be-
fore. After considerable effort the flow
from the well was gotten under control
sufficient to furnish water to save the OPP
posite side Of the street. The Mitchell
fire department. was called for and went
down on a special, but they arrived too
lato to save any buildings. All of the
principal places Of business were destroy
ed, and the insurance will not more than
half cover the loss. The stocks in the
various buildings were partly saved.

.. d., Jan. lULll. 1871.
To THE EDITOR OF THE GRAPHIC
Dear Sir:-I will be at Kimball next
week, so please address my copy Of the
GRAPHIC there, as l cannot get along
without it.
l have been travelling in Nebraska,
Kansas and Northwestern Missouri, and
return with the opinion that Brule county
(around KimbalD is the place to live. |
believe that those who stay right there
will be all right and come out ahead in
the long run. There are places in Kan
sas and Nebraska where the crops were
poorer than in Brrle county, and people
all over the country are complaining of
hard times. Some Of the people around
Kimball really do not know what "hard
times" are, compared with hundreds of
farmers in northwestern Kansas and in
southwestern Nebraska. Everybody with
whom I have talked, who have been in
central Dakota-and especially in Bruls
c~ounty-say that "the artesian wells you
are putting down will help that country
out all right" and that sit will undoubt-
eddy become the garden spot of the North
west"
will start for Kimball by team on the
14th inst, and will make Brule county
my future home. N. D. SHULTZ.

Taken to Yaurksou

Capt. S. R. Nugen was on Tuesday taken
to the insane asylum ut Yankton. His
arrangement of mind had become so vio-
lent in character that it was necessary to
do so. Every devise was resorted to to
prevail upon him to make the journey
quietly and voluntarily, but with the
usual cunning of the insane he saw
through them all. 1t was necessary to
strap him hand and foot, and he had to
be taken to the depot and placed on board
the cars by force. His rawlings were pitt
full in the extreme. and no one could look
at him except in sadness. H. 7. Wilson
and Chrales Nugen went along to assist
Sheriff Morgan.
There is no question now but what
Capt. Nugen has been gradually losing
his mind for years. What has been at
times looked upon as peculiar idiosyncra-
cies can now be seen as approaching in
sanity. All hope that time may restore
him to his old-time vigor OF mind and
body, and sympathy is universally ex-
pressed for his family.

Exorb,tan. Express Charges.

Exorbitant Express Charges.
The manner i'll which the Adams ex-
press company puts it on to shippers and
receivers around these parts is a caution
to snakes. The company ought to be boy
cotted so far as any package a be safely
sent by mail or time will allow it to be
sent by freight. A package can be got
from Chicago in five days by freight at a
cost OF IS cents that will cost a dollar
perhaps, by express and at no great saw
ing Of time either. Small parcels can as
readily be sent by freight as express and
the time in transit is not SO much greater
as people commonly suppose-especially
is this true if a package has to go over
two different lines-and the expense on
packages of three pounds or over is less
than half. Kicking against exorbitant
express charges does no good. The agent
can't help it. Better patronize the Mill
waukee company and save your temper.
