Deadwood, Sept. %, rs

welcome weekly visitor, the people
this camp, | am sure from what | hea
wish you success in your enterpris,
The people of Custer City and count
should look to it that your patronage b
liberal, for the CHRONICLE is an instit,
ton that should be encouraged by a
classes.
Times in Deadwood and vicinity ar
lively. One year ago to-day this cit
was destroyed by the terrible fire tiend
| To-day she is one Of the finest and mos
! prosperous cities in the western countr,
here you find az elegant finished build
dings, outside and inside, as in the olde
cities of the east Our business men il
| Deadwood are as chock full Of vim an,
vinegar as in any other city, east O
west and why? Because trade is goot
and money plenty. Some of the srnar
alecks say that twill not always be thus
but they are simply oftheir base. Thi
little big city of DeadwOod started out
end of every deal, you bet.
OF course YOU know the result Of The
republican county convention. Youl
humble Faber shower is now, and always
has been a republican, but think some
of the timber on the county ticket i,
bad, got worms, had 'cm a long time
and will take something a heap stronger
than coperas and Doc. Myers pills tc
work 'em off
There is some talk Of an independent
ticket. A good one might win
Shouldn't wonder. Nothing like oppo-
sition, You know. am thinking some
otgetting up city ticket Ed Wardncr
would make a good mayor, but he has
one thing lacking, and that is-belly-
cause: too much raising after retiring
to his virtuous couch. VIII have to
change the sex and take Mis-, j
She has plenty. Cashier |hum would
make good looking alderman, hut as
he will soon lead 10 The altar one of
Deadwood's faircst hel,ea, h. will have
to 5e excused, and Phar;;. Madden will
be next choice. Haven't got the bal
ance Of the ticket picket ont yet
The Adams excitement has quieted
down considerable. Dick has furnished
rooms at Johnny Manning's boarding
house, and they say is quite comfortably
every day from the cit CITY tfeeess tt;es ffansioh n
and il quite attentive. Mrs. A. visits
"Dicky boy" quite often in his confine-
ment as any good wife should. Dicks
enemies are not so bitter against him
now that he is in hook. He expects
some relief from the supreme court, but
very much doubt if he gets it, 1t is
thought Adams will serve the territory
a. Detroit about three years and that
the fine will be remmitted.
The first annual fair of Lawrence
county was q success financially and
otherwise. am glad of it and SO are
all the winners.
The Caledonia company won their
last case in cOult, but since have lost
the use Of water from the Homestakc
company. The Homestake company
have the bulge on the water business,
now, but | think twill not always be
thus. There is water enough running
to waste from the Uomestake ditch at
Lead TO run several Caledonia mills, but
they say they are short Of the fluid
which is all bosh, of course. It's g
freeze out game AS anybody with two
ewes can see. Sam McMaster5 has beer
heard TO say more than once that he
would cut the belly ont of this mine ant
that mine, if the owners would no
dance to his music If the jury in the
| Frankenburg murder case had not beer
bought up, body and soul, more thar
one high daddy would have been cut
ting stone or making rustic chairs il
Detroit at the present time. Of cours'
the Homestake company is a big thini
for this country, but some of the doing
of some of the members of that cOmpan,
are bloody curse all the same.
| The Pioneer is back on Sherman stree
again, and Al. is happy. The Time
will soon move into the Northwestern
building, on Main street, and of cours
Portcr's muetache will soon be lon
enough to tie around his neck, i

which argureth something, by gosh
Dick and Ming are still on the wing
figuring on the November elecshing.
A certain landlady says that a knigh
Of the shooting stick, on one of the morn
ing papers, or some one else, mus
marry her daughter; that this thing {
having her daughters form pied, wit
nary a husband, is getting too thin. Tn
old lady is more than half right, an
might as well put her foot down first a
last. More anon.
