No Dol was it announced that

enough to adorn any home, and low in
price.

AS the GRAPHIC is pretty widely clrcu-
lated and quoted, it has often been said
that when an item appears it it no tell
ing where 1t will turn up. The Milling
Journal of Chicago has written Engin-
Ger Perkins of the mill for a complete
description Of the bran burning contri-
vance in use there and written up by the
GRAPHIC a few weeks since.
So far this month December has been
everything to be desired in the way of
weather. Bright. pleasant days and
clear, starlight nights have been the rule
and the temperature we'll up to the 80
mark. If it was not for the heavy body
OF snow lying on the prairles so persist
emily, Notwithstanding the warm, sunny
days, the air would be ten degrees
warmer. The month is a decided con.
trast to November.
: There appears to be no abatement of
; the diphtheria at and near Pukwana and
5 the greatest precaution should be exer.
clsed lest the dread desease should again
get a foothold in Kimhall, as it did onct
i with most fatal results. The count,
board of health should take prompt
action and institute a rigid quarantin
wherever necessary. 1t is said that in,
diyiduals from infected families have
[ been in Kimball already. A stop should
be put to this at once.
t Oacoma Leader:-The deep snow Of
s the past seven weeks completely
I covered the grass on the range at Lover
Brule and caught the Indians practi
cally without hay. But as necessity is
the mother of invention the Sioux in
. ventive genius was invoked with the re
suit that a snOw-plow was produced
similar to those used in clearing stree
Car lines. BY driving this contrivanc,
over the prairie a strip of grass is IN
covered and the Indian cattle sool
learned to follow the pillow and get fllet
up.

and lands him in the safe harbur be
