Brule cou,,ty cattle.

II anyone is particularly interested in
knowing What kind of cattle are being
turned off the Brule county grasses, they
should walk down to the mill and look
over n bunch of two-year-old steers that
L. A. FoOte bought last week Of R, i
Jones. There are % in the lot, mostly
Red Polled, of Mr.. jones' own raising
the others Durhams, and stockmen say
that they are the finest load of cattle thai
ever went onto the scales in Kimball
They averaged 1880 each and of course
are in splendid condition. Mr.. Foott
will see how much weight he can add Il
them with an abundance Of mill feed.

Fighting over the rax List.

Mr.. Powers of the Pukwana Press and
Mr.. Owen of the Chamberlain Register
were at last accounts splitting at each
other at long range over the division of
the spolls from the publication of the
delinquent tax list. They had some
sort Of an agreement, whereby part of
the matter was put In type in the Regis
ter Office. part in the Press office and the
whole published in the Press. Mr..
Powers put in his bill for the work and
tho commissioners allowed it and ordered
a warrant drawn, whereupon Mr.. Owen
gets out a restraining order-or some
thing of the sort-to keep Mrs. Powers
from getting his fingers on the warrant.
Another year Treasurer Cook should
hand the delinquent tax list to the
GRAPHIC or the Democrat and thus pre-
vent these distressing Quarrels among
our Republican brethren. The GRAPHIC
or the Democrat cannot only do the work
better, but save possible bloodshed be-
sides.
The GRAPHIC has published the delin-
quent tax sale quite a number of times
and its Democratic contemporary at
Chamberlain always got half the pro-
ceeds less the composition, and when the
Democrat published the list the GRAPHIC
always got its share Of the rake-off.
Last year, under the Democratic admin
istration, it was the Democrats turn to
publish the list but it preferred for GER
tain reasons that we do the work-and
the Democrat got its share of the wad
so quick it made its head swim; every
thing satisfactory, everything lovely and
no kick coming or going. Why can't
our Republican brothers behave them

the enforced delay of several days in
the harbor Of Ajacio. He had left

dent joy as he tenderly returned the

been his earliest attendant. It was his
last visit to the island of his birth,
but not the last time the accents Of
its dialect fell on his ears. for it was
a COrsican who soothed his last hours
at st. Helena.
