PRESTON, S. D., Jan. 18.-This city
has been in existence about twenty
days. It's excuse for coming into exist.

has been going on as fast as lumber
could be shipped in and carpenters and
builders could work. The city is located
In a long valley about half a mile
southeast of the Ragged Top mines:
Main street is straight and level for
distance Of 1900 feet. A residence street
is laid out on the slope Of Long valley,
the location being an ideal one. Among
the buildings already completed or
building are five general stores, three
saloons, printing office for the Ragged
undergrad offices and fifteen resi-
dences. Top Shaft, two hotels three
restaurants, two lumber yard offices
and fifteen residences. The city is con-
nected with the outside world by tele-
phone, and g. hack line is carrying
hundreds of passengers daily to and
from Lead, Deadwood, Terry and Port
land. The hack service is also con-
nected with all trains at Crown Mill
siding on the Burlington G. Missouri

which are the we'll known members of
the Allen Steamship company, has been
hguring on the purchase of the patent
for about a year, and finally closed
the option six weeks ago. Soon after
Brambel was offered a larger sum by
another party from the East. He was
at one time an engineer. on one of the
Allen ships, and through that &C
quaintance made known to them what
he had to sell.
Brambel is a great traveller He was
forty years old the Sd dayYof last
month, but, like many another eEnglishI
man, he. has seen most of the world!
He has been in Alaska, and has trav-
eled across from the lower Yukon
river to the lower Mackenzie, a trip
that has not been made by more than
half dozen white men, and most Of
them employees of the Hudson Bay
company. He made this trip twelve
years ago, and proposes to make 1t
again if he is able He has shot musk
OK and reindeer in the barren grounds
OF the northern Canadian territory,
has hunted wild fowl in that most
prolific of all waters, the Dauphin
lakes, north Of Manitoba; has seen the
midnight sun at the mouth Of the
Mackenzie; has hunted the cheetah in
India, and has fished along the ANA
Zon and Orinoco. His tales Of his
NOy ages anu SAp0OIIlOIES are
most interesting, and his trophies from
all over the world are enough to cover
the walls of his little and unpreten-
tious dwelling. There are bead pouches
and ivory from the northern Indians,
war clubs from Alaska, and every
sort of shooting iron and hunting in
strument from all parts Of the globe.
Brambel's wife is little English girl,
and their sole pets are two pug dogs
that were sent them from across the
water.
Sleepy Eye is walked up at the
thought that it is an inventor in its
midst who has drawn outside atten-
ton to the town, and it is proud Of
him, though but about a month ago
there were not a dozen men in the place
who believed that Brambel had even
invented anything. He is the most
calm man of the village, attending to
his duties without a break, and giving
the officials of the road no opportunity
for any complaint that their interests
are being neglected. The schools IL
brary Of the town will probably be
magnificently remembered after Mr..
Brambel gets his money, and there
will be substantial proofs that it has
come scattered about IN many homes
and many spots in Sleepy Eye, for the
little town will be beautified as is no
other in Minnesota

SLEEPY. EYE, Jan. 1S.-For weeks
past Grant Brambel, of this village,
has been flooded with letters. They
have clogged the little postoffice till it
has been necessary to hire additional
help. and the postmaster, who draws
about enough salary to keep one person
alive, if he has quiet tastes, thinks it
is not all pleasure to live in the same
town as noted inventor and bask in
his reflected light. Brambers letters
are of all sorts, and, as he showed
them to the correspondent today, they
formed sad picture Of restitution, of
easily excited hope, of mendacity and
of despair.

DEMOCRATS MEAN BUSINESS.
Pop Candidates Fake Reports lndig.
nantly Denied.

1t is one OF the "smooth" schemes
of the Populist candidates to start re-
ports that this and that Democratic
candidate has or is about to withdraw.
Just recently it has been Nick Rob
sons special business to say this OF
Herman Hassler, Democratic candi-
date for sheriff. Mr.. Hassler is indig-
nant at the report and says he will
not only stay in the race but will can
vass every township. He is a Demo-
crat and is not assisting anybody this
year. This is the feeling Of every
Democratic candidate and the indica-
tions are that the Democratic ticket
will throughout get more votes than
the Populist ticket That is what
makes the Pop candidates so blue.

In 1896, when wheat scored such big
advances, just before the national cleo
ton, many farmers were suspicious
that the advances were part OF great
Wall street goldbug scheme to beat
Bryan and silver. Now that a presi-
dential election is three years of these
same farmers will scarcely credit the
present very high price Of wheat to the
same gang Of conspirators. They know
that wheat Is selling for a dollar be-
cause it is actually worth dollar in
the markets OF the world-not simply
Accent dollar such as we might have
had Bryan been elected, but 100
cent dollar worth par in any civilized
country
The farmer who still holds his wheat,
as most do, Is not sorry that it is worth
q gold instead of silver dollar. Nor
Is he losing much sleep over the very
low price Of silver. He fails 10 see the
same intimate connection between the
prices of silver and wheat which he
once imagined he saw, and the whole
free silver delusion has lost it's charms.
He may not tell all Of his neighbos
right away what he thinks, but he will
keep thinking.-Byron W. Holt.

A Minister'S Corn Raising.

the success in raising corn by Rev. 7.
M. Hardy, of Kennedy, in northeast
Dickinson. Mr. Hardy planted one
kernel of Brazilian flour corn in a hill
on May H. The sample he brought
in had SIX well developed suckers
tackled on to the mother stalk, and the
seven stalks had eleven splendid ears
Of corn on them. This variety is
highly recommended and the seeds
man claims that flour of a superior
grade can be made from it, and the
very best meal on earth. Mr.. Hardy
will plant 3 or 4 acres next year.
