The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1903-07-24


The Dell Rapids Tribune has puton
la new dress, but what for we can,t1E
just figure out. The Tribune and its
contemporary, the Times-Mr. Mes
bits old neWspaper-are two of the !
handsomest newspapers coming out of
a town theasize OF Dell Rapids in the
Us. we verify believe. We have sent
a good many copies of both to other
newspaper offices as samples Of South
Dakota country weeklies. The only
fault we have to find with Nesbit-the |
Tribune man-is that he still hangs
out about Joining the state press assoc
citation. Hes too good a newspaper
writer and printer to be docking by
himself.
When the council settled with Ship
man Bros. for the crosswalks they re-
fused to pay for the walk between
VOLTS and Matson's because it was
not laid according to grade. The
walk is five inches too low at the east
end. Mr.. Shipman claimed that the
city should have set a grade stake,
while the council held that he had the
grade at the west end and ought to
have been able to strike a level across
the street. There is a bad crack in
the approach to the walk between the
saloon and the Kimball house, which,
however, was not the fault of the con-
tractor. Mr.. Shipman agreed to re
turn and fix it.
The Sioux City Journal publishes
the following letter of a Maryland APP
plicant for a pension, explaining the
manner in which he received his dis
abilities: ''The way I got my war IN
gerry Wos a ketchen a hog. The Hog
was a SOW hog and ur captain wanted
her for forege. We was chasin the
SOW and She crawled threw a hoal IN
d rale fence. 1t war a big hoal, and /
thot | war about the sis of the hog,
and tribe to crawl threw, but I stuR
and trim to wIggle out l throde the
rales off and one hit me on my he'd and
knocked me senseless. I don't think
the sow pig had anything to do with
my line of duty, for l did not ketch
the hog. WITCH She never was caut."
Plantation Herald: Matt Gales
and FREQ Berger were over from the
west side Saturday and report the
death of John Hettinger's twelve year
old boy during the storm Thursday
evening. The boy was in the pasture
surrounded by a flock of sheep when a
bolt Of lightning descended, killing
him instantly but with no injury to
the sheep. W. t. Bogenhagen's
house was struck but with no serious
damage, as was also the barn Of VIM.
Walker, west of White Lake, setting
fire to the roof and injuring a valu
able horse. The blaze was extlngnish-
ed but at last report the horse was UNI
able to regain his feet. They claim
three inches Of rain fellin their neigh
borhood.
Nearly every week or so somebody
or other brings complaints to this office
and wants somebody ripped up the
back. When we politely declined a jot
f OF this kind for one Of our farmer
a friends a few weeks ago, he remarked:
"You'd do it mighty quick If you took
a notion" That is do%ubtlessly true,
S but fortunately mighty little of that
!, kind of editing goes on in this office
e land its very certain when it does il
isn't for the purpose of pleasing any
body. AS we have several times re
marked, anybody with a grievance cal
getinto print most any old time b,
writing out what they have to say ant
signing their name to it. The averag,
y newspaper has about all the dirt
linen Of his own to wash withou
: handling a miscellaneous assortment
: for other people.
6 Elk Point Courier: Several OF GU
exchanges are exhibiting a war;
weather interest in the new half hose
for ladies. We have not as yet bee
able to discover any specimens in Ell
c Point. Are we to look for one bar
|e foot, the other being the half enveloI
ed in the usual hosiery, or are bot
&c %encased, or half encased, j
tiremen's hose or somethin!
OF that kind? Tom Taubman
81 Of the Plankinton Herald, is the Beal
II Brummel Of the South Dakota pres
gang, and we would like to have hi
IS views Of this important domesti
y affair. Fashions go to extremes.
or year or two ago the ladies were goin
Il without their hats, much to the grle
OF the mi'liners. end now why shoul
,e not they be allowed to go withot
Il their stoclsings-or m of them
i. they want to? Maud Muller, years ag,
IS started a comfortable warm weatht
fashion and her praises have sung i
years ever since. We hail the ha
hose idea as a sort Of half way reviv;
