stored. Not even the inland lakes and
reservoirs have so far made ice thick
enough-an almost unprecedented state
at this time OF the year.

The GRAPHIC man wanted to 20, too, but
these two other Brule county represen-

1t is necessary occasionally to remind
the public that a printers time in a
newspaper Office is not his W during
work hours. but his employers, conse-
quently it is proper to conflne visiting
or business TO time and place outside of
tho workrooms. A person who would
violate this common sense proposition
in a city office would probably be told
things by the foreman.
The Mitchell Republican publishes the
sulphur preventative for la grippe. This

work in match factories never have an
attack of the prevailing malady.

paid SO a year; mothers Of seven are to
get $12; of eight $15; OF nine 500; of ten
$25; OF eleven $50 and of twelve or more
$50.
A. NJ. Andrews. founder of the Plan
klnton Standard ard we'll known to all
the old time newspapermen Of this part
Of The state, was in town Tuesday. Mr..
Andrews is now travelling for a cigar
house. He sold the Standard some years

but could not satisfy himself. The
truth Of it is, Mr.. Andrews is homesick
for South Dakota and we shouldn't be
surprised to sec him soon In the news
paper business in this state again.
Chamberlain Democrat: Time, effects
Of the artesian water. and q good strong,
pressure, yesterday resulted in the loss
Of the artesian we'll that has been sup
plying the power for the electric light
plant, and as a result Chamberlain was
last night in darkness. The water has
been carried from the nrtpsian we'll to
the power house by a horizontal pipe,
but the pipe became so weakened that
yesterday it was blown from the we'll.
The troublesome feature Is the fact that
the portion OF the pipe which contained
the threads hiss been carried away, and
1t is now up to some mechanical genius
to devise II plan Whereby the threads can
be recut in the pipe at the top OF the
we'll go that a cap may be put IN and the
flow controlled. In the meantime the
water continues to flow heayenward, and
until the problem is solved the city will.
