The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1893-09-16

The Republicans Of the first district
nominated o.. G. Stuart for commissioner.
The nominee is a clerk in the land Office.
Both of our esteemed local contempor-
aries have it that A. NJ. Bowles arrived
Wednesday evening. AS Mrs. Bowles hos
not seen her husband yet she probably
will be grateful if our contemporaries
will produce Mr.. Bowles and escort him
to the bosom of his family.
An item in the GRAPHIC last week in
adyertently conveyed the impression that
DIR. +. H. King lost a diphtheria patient.
The little girl, a daughter of Robt. Jones,
died about a week before the doctor was
called to attend another child in the
same family. Both of the cases Of
diphthcria in that neighborhood the
doctor reports convslescent.
A special from Bloomington, Illinois,
states that III rain has fallen in that
locality since May 81, over 112 days.
The drought has extended all over central
Illinois and it is said to have had no
equal since 1854. Pastures long ago lost
their greenness and farmers have been
feeding hay and grain for weeks. Very
much the same condition prevails in
Indiana, Ohio and other middle states.
The Pioneer Fuel company of Duluth
has favored the GRAPHIC with a killing
frost chart Of the northwest, compiled
from the official records Of the weather
bureau. As Kimball is one Of the few
official stations in this state the records
for this point are down on the chart.
The report is for the last three years.
During that time the average first kill
ing frost was Sept. % and the last, May
%. The earliest was Sept. IL, 1890. AID
the latest. May 90, 1891.
That County Treasurer House will get
his 5 $1,000 back from the defunct Brule
County bank is due more to his own
shrewd management Of the case rather
than any particular magnanimity Of
Judge kcllam Or any other official con-
nected with the bank, and it is also very
certain that if lie never got a cent of it
the county would not lose a dollar.
House is good for it and Ills Democratic
b0ndsmen are, and for much more.
From the Eighth Annual Announce
ment OF Scotland Academy at Scotland,
S. d., just received, we learn that the
Fall term opened September II with bet
ter prospects than ever and under the
same excellent management. This in
s~titution furnishes superior instruction
in music, thoroughly prepares students
for college, specially for teaching and for
business. Costs only $3.50 per week for
everything, including board, tuition,
books, fuel and furnished rooms.
ALI Burkholder, the bright correspond
ent Of this county for MANY prominent
dailies and sometimes facetiously dubbed
"The Chamberlain LIAR" passed through
OIL the Tuesdays morning train en- route
for the Cherokee strip, where he will dc
newspaper work for some Of the New
York dailies and other sheets. Ar sent
up word tc the GRAPHIC from the denot
that everything he would write Of the
opening Of the strip would be gospel
truth-no Sioux reservation lying about
it all all.
Sometime ago Coe l. Crawford made an
ass Of himself by appointing an ex.
centric individual by the name Of Treat
at Plankinton assistant district attorney
for the prosecution Of liquor cases. This
man Treat, who, by the way, is pretty
nigh a lunatic, has for years kept more
or less of the population in Plankintor
in hot water over the liquor traffic OF
something. 1t transpires that his seem
ing prohibition virtues have faded at thu
sight OF money put up by saloon men ant
the shyster is now under Indictment fol
compromising felony. He ought to have
been ridden out OF P~lankintOn ON a piece
Of barb wire long ago.
