ming his race at Chamberlain and he
also got second place In one race al
Alexandria this week and headed the
bunch under the wire in a five furionp
race.
klmbal got a nice shower Wednes-
day night; enough to revive the fast
dying pastures and to lay the dust in
the roads-but W. could have stood a
much heavier rain without any kick
ing. But let us be thankful for what
we got-because the rain was local.
Tom Lanes new town half way be-
tween Woonsocket and Wessinpton
Springs starts out with two banks and
a newspaper-frst buildings to be on
the ground-even before the railroad
station. 1t will probably need both
banks to keep the newspapers tail up.

washington Springs failed to get an
artesian well-which is a great disap.
pointment for the town. The con-
tractors went down 1900 feet, but the
flow is only about as big as ones fin
ger. The water question is, therefore,
still sleeping with the municipal au-
thorites.
To please Company H boys-and
Capt. Quirk in partlcular-the GRA-
PHO let Miss Marion Curtiss away
from her cases in this office to do
Charley Novotny's work on the Puk-
wanna Press while he joined his com
pany to the Watertown encampment
this week.
When the passenger train reached
Pukwana Wednesday night a heavy
hail storm was in progress. Hail
stones of unusual size fell and they
came fast and furious. No rain came
with 1.-THE train men said-and they
did not know how much territory the
storm covered.
1t is very dry between here and
Mitchell and wheat shows the need of
rain and its dusty travelling. Plankin-
ton and White Lake have had more
than either Mitchell or KimbalI this
month, but crops around Kimball look
fully as good as in Aurora county.
Pastures show the need Of rain every
where,
The new wholesale fruit house in
Mitchell gets in strawberries by the
carload and they are retailed by the
local merchants at ten cents the box.
Same price by the case. The fruit
comes from Missouri and in as good
shape as if just picked. The berries
are not as sweet, however, as those
from other states.
Yes, sir; we did vi out of cap Ms
last week. That's why we had to "run
down"-as printers say, Uncle Chaun-
cey's name. And we're Uncle Chaun-
cey built on the same lines as his seven
predecessors we'd gone right down and
got 'em. Uncle Chauncey gave us ia
understand some time ago that he
didn't care to borrow nor lend.
An advertisement of w. e. North,
painter and paper hanger, will be
found in another column. Mr.. North
has already done a great deal of work
about town-the first OF any impor-
tance in the Catholic ~rectory-and all
of it in a tirst-class and workmanlike
manner. Those who employ him will
find him all right in mis- work and
price.
Michel may we'll reflect and consid-
er az TO whether their capital COM
mittee has not already made some bad
and possible fatal mistakes.
Yep. Two Of them vas in not Sc
curing the 0 Pity Me shark at Platte,
and consulting Uncle Chauncey. But
don't shoot the committee-they're
doing the best they can. The local

The north and west trains were two
hours late out Of Mitchell Tuesday
night and Company III probably
missed connections on the Northwes-
tern at Redtield and had to remain
there over night, much to their dis
appointment. Col. Greene received a
telegram at Mitchell from the North
western superintendent stating that
he would hold the train at Redtiell an
hour, but could not any longer than
that.
