The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1904-07-29

mick, Lancaster, Penn. Only four in
Brule county got anything and lS2 in
South Dakota were lucky enough to
get anything in the first 1909. Kim
ball didn't get Il n SO far.
Among u want ads will be found
an advertisement of a lost grip of a
Pierre man. 1t contains laundry, the
ad says. Fourteen years ago every
Pierre man travelling through Brule
county had a grip full of greenbacks.
Things are different now-and after
election there will pc a different state
of things.
1t is expected of course that Brule
county will want to make another
showing at the Mitchell corn palace
and those having nice grain and veg
esables should take the proper care of
samples while the stuff is fresh, and
be ready to turn over a good lot Of 1T
when the committee calls for it.
Other counties are preparing for bet
ter and bigger exhibits than eyer.
But very little interest is manifest
ed in the drawing for the Rosebud
lands at Chamberlain. Very few if
any, remained in the town after regis
tering, the chances of making a Win
ming being too small to justify the
time and expense. y few went
through on the train Wednesday night
out of curiosity, but they were mostly
newspaper correspondents and others
not directly interested.
Mr.. Walter johnson and Miss Will
helmine Schuman were married We'd
nesday evening at the home of the
brides mother south of town. \ re-
ception was held Immediately after
the ceremony, which was attended by
a large number of neighbors and
friends of the young couple and the
family of the bride. The GRAPHIC en-
tends the usual congratulations and
wishes unmeasured happiness for the
bride and groom all their lives long.
Shenandoah (Iowa) Post: The far
ers are finding their wheat crops a
total failure i'll pretty nearly every
instance. Saturday three we're in and
stated that they had gone into their
fields, which looked fine, and stalks
stood high and apparently promised a
big crop, but when they got into the
field and attempted to thresh out the
gram by hand, they could not find a
single grain in many heads and only
occasionally a few very small ones. AS
a result the bundles are no heavier
than so much straw.
Gov. Herreid showed Il cool head
when he sent the following dispatch
to General Conlllin in reply to a re-
quest for militia at Bcnesteel last
week. Gov. Herreid was en- route
from San Fransico when he heard of
the trouble.
"Kalina. WASH, July 25.-General
S. j. Conklin, Sioux Falls: See that
legal conditions and requirements eX-
lst before using militia. Seems to me
the alarm is vastly exaggerated. Keep
me advised care Overland Limited:
left Portland today. G. n. Herreld
Governor"
j. A. Strans&y has recelyed a letter
from the patent Office in Washington,
ID. c. advising him that his cement
fence post is patentable, and that a
patent would be issued us soon as the
necessary papers were forwarded to
Washington. The letter compliments
Mr.. Stransky very highly on his pat
ent. II requires no special machinery
for making the post or clamps for
holding the wire. Any farmer. can
make them at a cost very little above
the cedar post. They will last indcfi-
nately. Mr.. Stransky expects to put
in a factory in all the principal towns
in the state.
The Chamberlain people are very
much disappointed at the small
amount Of benefit derived from the
Rosebud drawing. 1t is difficult to
understand, however, upon what
grounds the people there based their
expectations. Aside from the extra
railroad fare over the rate to Yank-
ton there was an extra day to be spent
and the tedious journey in hot wealth
|er in crowded trains. Notwithstand.
ing that many down the line could 90
to Yankton and back the same day,
they went to Chamberlain instead and
remained over night. This was true
Of many Mitchell people. Others
from the north part OF the state, IN
stead OF going right through to Yank-
ton, get off at Mitchell, spent the
day there, went out to Chamberlain
over night and put in another day at
Mitchell IN route home. Considering
the advantages Yankton had in being
more quickly and economically reach
ed and the attractions Bonestcel had
as to the gateway to the lands, Cham
berlain should feel complimcnted at
the showing She made.
