The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1904-08-19

Byron Humphrey, son Of the late
Rev. b. f. Humphrey and brother of
Mrs. Elmer Benedict, formerly of
Chandler. arrived Wednesday night to
surprise his sister, but was surprised
himself in finding her gone. 1t has
been eight or ten years since Byron
was here. The family moved away
nineteen years ago.. Mr.. and Mrs.
Humphrey both died several years ago
Frank Humphrey, another son, is a
physician in Wisconsin.
The New York Sun, which has been
lighting Roosevelt for months and
booming Parker predicted that if Par
ker was nominated it would be a race
between an Edam cheese and IL cent?
pede has made the most sensational
flop of the season and will swallow the
cheese. It's going to support Roose-
velt-and the Sun is just a little the
biggest organ for organized wealth and
the p%lutocrats of any newspaper on
earth. The way the big dailies she'd
their skins is a caution-to snakes.
Rev. Emil Bubik. who has acted as
Catholic pastor of the two Bohemian
churches at Bendon and Red Lake,
has been transferred to Scotland. He
will leave for his new charge in Il few
days. His successor at Bendon will
be the Rev. j. w. Pekar. who has
been staying at the Catholic rectory
here the past week. Father Pekar
has preached in the Kinball church
to large congregations, and though
born in Bohemia those who have
heard him speak highly of his ability
and command of English.
For the first time there are a whole
lot of people up at Huron who can
approximate the number of feathers
on a rooster. The Journal Worlds
guessing contest ended last week and
a Chicago mar O Il 500 buggy be-
cause he guessed the big Langshang
rooster in the Journal-World's show
window had 723O feathers. The exact
number was 1902. The guesses ran all
the way from $40 to TO- 1000, 777. There
were over thirty guesses around the
1000 mark, showing how many killed
and picked a rooster to arrive at some
estimate.
While much of the California fruit
and that Of other Pacific coast. dis
tricts rots on the trees for want of a
paying market, the commission men
at beth ends of the route skin the con-
sumer and producer to a finish on all
that does reach the market. Fruit is
higher this year than last, notwith-
standing the retailers really don't
make Il cent on it. The commission
men and railroads gobble the whole
thing. The price of every bit of
fruit this year is fixed by a trust. It's
the same old story.
The free attractions offered the
public at the Sioux Falls Harvest
Festival are the most sensational and
highest salaried act being presented
in the country. Yon Turkeys slide
for life, and the slack wire stretched
between two three-story buildings,
and Chas. Fulton and Miss Spray. the
undisputed champion lady and gentle
man hige divers of the world, are
worth going miles to see. Other acts
equally as thrilling and interesting
are placed along the Pike for the ben
eft of the yisitors.--Aupust % to 81.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Brown and two
little boys left yesterday morning for
their new home at Highland, Wis,
where Mr.. Brown will open a drug
store. The town is a little inland
town of 800 or 900 PEOPLE ten miles
from a railroad but in a rich and
thickly settled country. Splendid III
ducements have been made to Mr..
Brown, and he will be within ten
miles Of where his parents live. Mr..
and Mrs. Brown will be greatly missed
from kimball. and the Ochsner store
won't seem quite the same for awhile.
Fred has been the best pharmacist
the store ever had: always on hand,
polite, courteous and attentive to
business. The Klmball friends of
both he and his charming wife will
always be glad to hear Of their pros
perity and happiness in their new To-
cation.
