Chamberlain Democrat: The great
drawback Ia many parts OF the state Is
that there are too many papers. In the
early days papers we're started at every
crossroads for the purpose OF catching
final proof and contest notices. and
these papers have been trying To exist
long after their field of usefulness 10
gone. It would be better for the people
and better for journalism if shout two
out Of every three papers In the state
suspended. The newspapers are ten
years ahead Of the country. III
Aberdeen dispatch, 81: James F.
Brooks, city attorney OF jBrookinass has
been lying at the Sherman house In
q semi-unconscious condition for q
couple OF days. The last he remembers
was that he was at Madison, all eiee ID
blank. His body shows wounds ana
contusiona IN the vicinity OF the heart
and he complains Of severe Iains in The
head. The Odd Fellows here have taken
hold Of the case and will nurse Brooks
back to life and health IL possible. The
general belief ID that he was drugged
beaten and robbed in Madison or vicin
ity as he had bnt45 cents on his arTiya
here, although he collected Q large sun
or money shortly after leaving Brook
ings. He has always borne d good rep.
utafion.
The large bible and hapd-painted sill
book-mark naed in Grace church ha
besn stolsn. The Rev. Mr.. Cleselans
used the bible sunday morning, IeayipI
Id lying on the lectnfn I'D usual, ant
when be came 10 the csnrch 10 hold ser
vice last evening il was missing. n,
other property contained in the churul
was molested. The church door Is Ere
quently left unlocked, not presumini
that anybody would enter therein ans
steal. Whether the depreciation wa
committed by o genuine thief, a vandal
or whether d piously inclined persol
took this means TO possess hlmself OF
good book ID q mystery. The bible wa
the first article presented to Rev. Cleve
] land when he took charge OF this mis-
sion seven years ago, and the ladies' 8
the church who provided it will regre
its loss.
