Well! Well !! Well ~!
burlington Democrat,

Battle Gleeson went to Ken0sha
Thursday to present petition to the
Kenosha county board asking that
body to build Brighton's share of the
road recently laid out between Brigh-
ton, Burlington and Dover The
Brighton board had not shown aispo-
sition to build it's share OF the road,
hence the petition. Mr.. Gleeson ex-
pected the board would at least con-
slider the petition and take some defn-
tie action, but it's presentation precip2
itated a fight which was unexpected.
Battle immediately pulled Oft his over
coat and was in it. District Attorney
Buckmaster found that what looked
like seedy granger was walking law
book The district attorney was cor
nered on every point, and he now
knows more about laying out country
road than he ever dreamed was in the
statutes After fighting forenoon and
afternoon the board decided to further
consider the petition next Monday.

MADAME KIMBALL DEAD.
The Remarkable old Lady Passes Away,
Aged SO Years.

Aged SO Years.
Mrs. Caroline Swift Kimball passed
very quietly away from her earthly
friends Tuesday morning at the
home of her son, J. II. Kimball. She
had lived life of even sunshine with q
loving temperament, and at the end
faded away very quietly into the great
beyond. The end had been looked for
by the family for the past few days
only. She was a woman of remarkable
constitution, and only short time ago
when her son celebrated his birthday,
she was able to participate in the fes-
Uivities with the younger people and re-
manned up until II o'clock that night,
nor seemed to feel the effects of loss OF
rest. She retained her vigorous health
up to about a week ago, when IL was
found that she began rapidly to sink
away. She retained her mental facul-
ties to the last and passed away as one
falling to sleep after Il day Of weary
labors, seeking rest.
Mrs. Kimball was born in Falmoth,
Cape Cod, July %, 1897. Her parents
were Mr. and Mrs. David Swift, her
father being an old revolutionary hero.
She went at the age Of Ii years to
Montreal, Canada, where at the age of
81 she married George d. Kimball, a
prominent lawyer of that city. They
lived in that city until she was As years
old, when she and her huS band came
to the place where Kenosha now
stands. There was no settlement here
then to speak OF and Mr.. Kimball and
Gov. Durkee together owned the
ground upon which the city now stands
having taken it up as government
claims. Mr. Kimball and his son j. I'll.
dug up the trees and cut off the under
brush with their own hands for the
Main street Of this city. They built
the first frame house here on the spot
where the Rhode opera house now
stands. They lived there two years
and then built the present Kimball
residence on Prairie avenue in 1912,
where for fifty years Mrs. Kimball has
continued to live That house consist
ed of but two rooms, but in those days
was considered q veritable palace.
The two wings, one to the east and the
other to the west have been built
since. People came from miles
around to see the palace, and not only
admired out were amazed at it. 1t
became q land mark and one of the
chief prides Of the town. The Kimball
property then extended from Prairie
avenue to the river. The present
Central park was slice of it, given to
the city by Mr.. Kimball.
Mrs. Kimball had one ambition, that
to live until she rounded out the GEN.
fury. One year and seven months
more would have been necessary and
it seems sad indeed that she could not
have been spared that much longer.
She leaves one son, twelve grand
children and seven great grand child
rem.
The funeral of Mrs. Kimball will be
held from st. Matthew's church Thurs
day afternoon at O'Clock.

No Decrease in the River

There has been some apprehension
that the Missouri river was decreasing
in its volume of water owing to the
supposition that the river supplied the
artesian wells of this country with
water In reference co the decrease
an old steamboat captain at Yankton
says: "There need be no alarm over
the decrease of water in the Missouri
river. The average deph of water in
the Missouri is just as great today as it
has been any time during the past forty
or fifty years. I remember when we
were obliged to abandon our trips aud
land our freight hundred miles this
side of Fort Benton because the water
was too low to float the boat in the
channel. There is long record of
steamboats, that were wrecked up the
Missouri river because the high water
of the spring receded and left them
high and dry to break up under q
scOrching sun. Among these was the
Assinaboine in 1886, the Chippewa in
1859, the Rankin in 1876, and score of
others which have forgotten. Steam
boats can navigate the Missouri river
today as we'll as they could twenty years
ago, so far as the depth of water is con-
cerned. In some places the river has
been widened during the past few
years by washing away the softemb bank
ment. This has caused the formation
OF many sand bars and has led to the
belief that the river is drying up"

Claiming Up the Missouri.

Considerable money has been ex-
pended at Pierre this summer in i'm
proving the Missouri river and which
has been forced into one deep channel
not over a quarter of mile wide
When the work is fully completed it
will cost the government nearly $780,
600. In the work SO far about $500
cords of stone, millions of feet of tim
Der and piling have been used. Five mat
tressed dikes have been built into the
river 300 to 600 feet, each one forty feet
thick. The river has done enormous
damage to property at the fort and the
improvements are designed to protect
the shores.

TO Finish His Enterprises.

A 9ankton special says: At a meet
ing of the prominent property holders
MIR. Nation, manager for the creditors
of j. 7. M. Pierce, announced that his
clients had lost $3.50, 900 through Pierce
but that they had brought with them
as much more money and were going
to complete unfinished enterprises be-
gun by Pierce. Among these are the
Yankton Norfolk and Southwestern
railway and a railroad bridge across
the Missouri river. Mr. Nation an
nounces that they would begin work
on both bridge and railroad within
thirty days and would have them COM
pleted by May next. The city has
granted right of way along the levee.

MIR. RADLEY'S LAST SERMON,
breaches His Farewell sermon Mt the Con

breaches His Farewell Sermon mt the Com
gregational Church Sunday Evening.
Rev. Mr., Bradley has endeared him
sell to the hearts OF the people in his
congregation and to a great number
outside Of the church by his scholarly
and masterful addresses from Sunday to
Sunday and that is the reason why the
Congregational church was packed alb
solutely full and hundreds turned away
Sunday night. 1t was his last sermon
and the people wanted TO hear him for
the last time, but many were disap-
pointed. He selected his text from
Mathew 6-2l and the words were
"Where your treasure is there will
your heart be also" Mr.. Bradley took
the ground that what a person liked
best as he found things in life that one
thing would be the dearest for him. 1t
would form a part of his nature and he
would defend it against any onslaught.
He illustrated his idea with MANY 6o-
ures and Illustrations and in ciosino
urged his hearers to take the Heavenly
Father as their treasure and to let Him
enter into their personality for them to
defend, to love and uphold against the
calumnies OF the world. The sermon
was one of practical value to persons
wanting to lead Christian life and the
words will long be remembered, coming
from one so earnest in the cause of trv-
ing to make the world and the oeople
better. We are sorry that Mr.. Brad
ley Is going to leave Mitchell; sorry be-
cause he is a man, who when truth
comes to him after a careful search, he
will tell the people of it. 1t is that
kind of man the people desire to hear
in the pulpit. Mr.. Bradley's sermon
places religion in light that one can
easily see its meaning, not so hard of
attainment, nor 30 easily disregarded
after once having given yourself over
to it. Simplicity in religion brings it
closer to the people and they are much
easier to reach on that account. We
hope Mr.. Bradley will have the great
est kind of success in his new field, and
we know he will, for he is not the man
to sit still and await it's coming but will
exert his every energy to attain its
Mitchell people will be sorry to lose
Mrs. Bradley, lady with sweet wo-
manly graces, who has been a great
help to her husband in his pastoral du-
ties. Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley expect to
leave for Cadillac, Mich, IN ten days
or two weeks.

Surveying Party Home

FL. G. Greene and his surveying party
drove in from the south Friday from
the Rosebud Indian agency In the
latter part of June Mr.. Greene com
menced big surveying job down there
for the government and took with him
eleven men but returned with only
three OF the crew he started with. 1t
took them three months to finish UP
the contract and the ones that stayed
through were of the opinion that they
wanted no more Of that kind of work
Those who came home with Major
Greene were Dave Shell, Mike Bren-
nan and j. E. Wedehase. Since the
latter has been away he has cultivated
line growth of whiskers and person
is little in doubt as to who he is until
you take a second look Jack says
those whiskers will be OF short dura-
ton.

Burned a Child.

The large farm house of Paul Schoen-
felter, just over the line in Hutchinson
county, was destroyed by fire Sunday
night. The family had retired for the
night when they were awakened by the
cracking of burning embers. Mr..
Schoenfelter barely had time to escape
after arousing the rest of the family,
but one of the little girls was unable to
make her escape and was burned to
death in the building. Everything in
the house was destroyed and it was a
difficult matter to keep the flames from
spreading to the barn and granary.

a MUSICAL EVENT.
Tee Mitchell Parlor Orchestra Delights
all With Their Concert,


OF all the various musical organiza-
ations our city boasts, none is more
heartily greeted at home or more fav-
orably known throughout this portion
of the state than is the Mitchell Parlor
Orchestra, and at their concert last ev-
ening medium sized, but enthusiastic
and appreciative audience was most
highly entertained. The combination
is decidedly strong one and in their
entertainment presented a class of
music which could not fail to please.
The orchestral numbers consisting of
overtures, medleys and descriptive
pieces were all Of more than ordinary
merit and furnished delightful var
iety. Those who were partial to a high
grade of music were richly favored and
all were greatly interested in the med
ley North and South" and the des-
criptive piece, mill in the Forest
In the latter number the old water
wheel was all but a grim, ponderous
reality. Mr.. G. G. Rathbun gave a
very pretty cornet solo in his usual
creditable manner and Miss May Pres
"a IL iSl iCuu1GlOH VI LlsIt'S 'GhaDSO-
dies Hongroise No g." added new laur-
els to her reputation as pianist. Miss
Presba's Interpretation was excellent,
bringing out the many marvellous beau
ties of the selection.
The violin and piano duet by Masters
Rex and Ross Rathbun of course capti-
waited everyone. The little fellows
have warm place in the hearts of the
music lovers hereabouts, and not SO
much because of their youth as of their
earnest and highly satisfactory efforts.
An encore was gracefully responded
to. Prof. Carl Hover sang a baritone
solo with trombone obligato by Mr.. N.
B. Bennett and Mr.. Bennett followed
with trombone solo. Mr.. Benefits
proficiency is so we'll known that repe-
tltlon is unnecessary, suffice it is to say
that the number was a gem and OF
course an encore was forthcoming.
Prof. Carl Hover rendered the vio-
lin solo, Don Juan" by Mozart superb
ly and number by the orchestra closed
an evening of rare enjoyment to those
who were so favored as to be in atten-

Spoiled the Rain Water.

Mrs. Sutter, the wife of a harness
maker in Salem, attempted to commit
suicide the the other day. She jumped
into the cistern, which was nearly full
of water, and would have succeeded
but for the timely arrival of her hus-
band, who just caught her by the hair
and kept her from sinking until assist
ance arrived and she was pulled out.
She fought with all her might against
being rescued, but was overpowered
The act was caused by momentary in

Miner County's Murd err.

A couple OF farmers up in Miner
county got into a fight Tuesday over
a trivial matter, but as there was an
old feud existing between them it did
not take long for them to get down to
business. The mems names were John
O'Brien and Dennis Sullivan, both of
whom were bachelors. O'Brien at
tackled Sullivan with revolver, who
resisted with spade. and succeeded
killing him. There was only one man
present, and as he was deaf, O'Brien's
story as to how the quarrel started will
have to be accepted.

He had just two minutes to reach the
north train and mail some letters Tues

present small boy scattering both rider
and kid over considerable territory.
Aside from few scratches and bruises
and a few slight injuries to the bicycle,
there were no serious results.
