day. 1t was a little the worst outfit we
have seen yet, and they ought to be Civ
Ell not more than three days to get out
of the state. Neither the dogs, monkey
or bears are trained and the dirty, nasty
Italians abuse them shamefully in order

antics for a dime.
A wild western paper gets off the
following: "While a Kansas editor was
home sick with typhoid fever, and his
wife and little daughter were suffering
at the same time with dyptheria and
scarlitina, the office boy clipped andpub-
lished as a leader the following medical
note: Typhoid fever. diptheria and scar
Ultima, are the results Of human ignor-
ance, stupidity, laziness and filth, rather
than the visitation Of God"
The boys have been out practicing
nearly every night this week and fixing
up the grounds across the track for their
game with the Highland club to-day
Saturday. Old timers on the diamond,
like Will Rowles. affirm that there is
sufficient material here for a good nine.
Most everyone would like to see Kimball
in the base ball swim again. She always
got to the front and would probably do
so again.
A Chicagop paper says that at an evening
party a group of college students were
invited to sing, and chose the popular
old song, "The King of the Cannibal
Islands. Everyone seemed amused till
they came to the line, "They dined on
%clergymen cold and raw" when a young
woman suddenly arose and left the room,
sutfused in tears. It appeared later
that her father had been a missionary
and was eaten by the cannibals.
Premature births are always distress
ing. They are particularly so in news
papers. If there is one thing more than
another that a newspaper man wants to
know what he is writing about it is in
announcing births, deaths and weddings.
1t is a miserable practice to take any
important information second hand; it
should never be done in the cases cited.
This weeks Pukwana Press contains a
communication from a lady protesting
against a Press item which anticipated
an expected event.
The Leghorn is a non-sitter, but the
sitting propensity is hot ent irely lost
as Leghorns will sit il they are too close
ly confined and are fed too highly.
We have known them to make tho
best of sitters and mothers, and they are
also somewhat pugnacious, defending
their young bravely against all enemies.
When a Leghorn becomes broody she
must not be condemned because she is
inclined to bring off u lot of chicks, for
she is not at fault, as the conditions OF
management govern the matter.
Ii these lines are the last we ever pen
for this moral engine, friends in distant
lands may know that our young, but
v%irtuons, life has met the fate that has
oyertaken so many inocent arbitrator:
on the base ball diamond. The down
country boys are expected here to-day
to wallop the ground with a scraped W
/ nine in this burg, and they want this OLE
timer to see that they each have a faiI

ing the job can have it at 60 cents OF
the dollar by calling around this fore

a Chamberlain specials to the Sioux
. Falls Press and other papers, under big
+ scare heads, stated that the pontool
bridge was swept away Monday night b,
flood, involving a loss Of $1,000. Natur

particulars. The Democrat has a thre,
line item about it, the Register doesn'
: know that anything has happened to tn,
! bridge and the Journal simply refers t.
the $4,000 disaster" by stating that tn,
bridge is BADLY disarranged." Mean
while the outside public car keep
e guessing as to how much damage til
bridge has really suffered.
Up to recently K1mpall has been note,
for the excellence of its sidewalks OF
Main street. Recently, however, portion
. of the sidewalks are getting in bad shap
and rapidly growing worse. This i
= particularly true in regard to spike
sticking up here and there, a dangerou
obstruction One of these spikes ca,
c easily ruin a lady's shoe, il not to inflir

Il should see that the spikes that work los

does no good to drive them back int

by non-residents the city should see thu
