A memorial and protest against
the bankrupt act, signed by 1880

valuable for placer mining than for
other purposes. It is partly occu-
pied at the present time by the de.
pot in Leadville, Of the d. and r.

Postmaster General Howe to-day
addressed communication to SEN
ator Allison, chairman of the Sem
ate appropriations committee, call
ing his attention to the fact that
growers of seeds and bulbs in states
along the Canada border forward
their goods to Canada and have
them sent through the mails toner
sons Ia the Unit ID States, thus OBJ
tanning benefits of the Canadian
postage rates on such mat
tiers. He concludes his let
ter by asking whether we
cannot offofd to transports for eight
cents per pound seeds which the
farmer buys, as well as to transport
seeds for nothing which the govern
ment buys, and if we cannot afford
to carry seeds for Que cent for two
ounces paid into our treasury as
well as to carry them for the same
price paid into the Canadian treas
ury. He also calls attention to the
need of legislation to prevent the
sending of explosive and dangerous
matter in mails. Cans of dynamite,
loaded pistols and bowie knives
were among the articles taken from
the mails last year.

Storing. Electricity.

The New York Tribune publishes
an interesting account OF recent ex-
periments in storing electricity I'M
der the new method invented by
Mr.. G. F. Brush. The tests reported
seem to show that the current can
be transmitted to any distance by
means Of a high-tension dynamo
without perceptible loss, and that
after transmission it can be stored
III box from which it can be drawn
at will to run incandescent lamps.
By means of a meter, Mr.. Brush as
serts, the amount of energy stored
can be registered like gas. He
claims, further, that nearly ten
lights can be fed from the box to
every one-horse power exerted at
the steam engine. This is about so
per cent. better than any result
achieved hitherto. Further expert
ments may be needed to establish
these points of advantage beyond
doubt; but Mr.. Brush's invention is
apparently great step toward the
solutiOno Of the lighting problem.

Madam Nilsson.

New York, 2S.-Abbey told
a reporter OF Nelson's
success at San Francisco, saying she
was invited to the houses of nearly
all prominent people in the city.
She seems to make friends every
where. / could mention many lit
tie incidents of her kindly nature.
1 noticed particularly when the
train stopped in SacraD ento,
Madam Nilsson sat down at the pi-
ano in her drawing room car and
sang: D." Hard times come again no
more" When she finished the tune
she saw a number of people stand
ing near the door. Immediately size
returned to the plano and sang
=" Way down upon the Swanee
River" which she was singing
when the train rolled out of the
station.

AN interesting little story comes
all the way from Pittsburg of the
luck of Philadelphia drummer.
He was riding from Harrisburg to
that city and met by chance on the
train a couple of fascinating
strangers, who gave their names as
George Peck, Of New York. and
Colonel Stone. of Chicago. To
while away the tedious hours the
two strangers proposed a game Of
poker. When the drummer's deal
came round he dealt himself four
kings, which made him feel sorry
for his opponents. Mr.. Peck passed
out, leaving the man with the mill
tary title to be scoeped by the
drummer's four kings, apparently.
The colonel drew two cards,
however, and became confident. He
raised the pot from $50 to $3.50,
which the drummer had to cover
with his gold watch and chain and
a diamond ring. He then produced
his feur kings and reached f0S the
pile. The colonel gracefully waved
him to one side and displayed four
aces. Then the drummer arose in
his wrath and declared the cards
had been stocked. He carried his
complaint to the mayor Of Pitts
burg, whe placed the parties under
arrest and held them in 81 900 bail
for appearance at co1rt. In she
meantime the drummer couldn't be
induced to bet his whole pile on
four kings again.

A Gas Company Suit.

San Francisco, 2S.-In the case of
Henry Buckwedel Cs. the San Fran
cisco Gaslight Company, a petition
for a writ Of mandamus to compel
the auditor to audit the gas bills for
SITS 64S.9s, the Supreme Court, to-
day, referred the case to Judge
Finn for findings, but ihtimated
that the action of the auditor should
be sustained. This is the case
where BreckWedel refused to audit
the gas bills until the company
paid its back taxes, amounting to
nearly 100000.

A Rumor Verified.

1t came to our ears this week that
there was Il party in Custer buying up
town property for the Northwestern
transportation company. Upon looking
the matter up VIC find the rumor about
as follows: An understanding between
the aforesaid company and the Sioux
! City and Pacific lead to the purchase
and is to the. effect that the Sioux City
and Pacific having reached Fort Mo
brari July lst. the road being opened
for business this week to- that point, the
management intend to push the road
into Custer county the present year and
will by this time next year have its
terminus at the big bend in the Chey-
enne river, south of the Hot Springs.
As this vii! be the first road to touch
the foot-hi Is, property nearest the ter
minus will Of course be valuable, and
the Northwestern company being given
to understand that Custer would be that
town, they have concluded to invest.
In pushing our inquiries it also cropped
out that the Sioux City and Pacific had
become interested in the Hot Springs
property, and this fact, taken in connec-
ton with the purchases made by the
Northwestern company, lead us to be-
lieve that before August of 1888 we will
see the Hot Springs the summer resort
OF the west connected both with the
Missouri river and Custer by rail. we
were informed sometime ago that the
Northwestern company had purchased
the Slate Springs property of Mr.. Green,
and in all probability this company will
he running coaches from the terminus
OF the ). {, & p. X. X. to Deadwood by
way of the Hot Springs and Custer in
side of two months at least.
-
The first mail to arrive i'm Custer this
week was from Rapid and came in We'd
ncsday night. 1t will be remembered
by our readers that the new contract
over this route, which took effect July
list, calls for a daily mail to Rockervillc
and tri-weekly to Custer. Just why the.
contract was not made for a daily SER
vice through to this point we are at a
loss to know. This would give us a
daily mail from Deadwood, as well as all
eastern points and is what We need. Mr.
Geer. the new contractor, says that il the
people of Custer will get mp a petition to
this effect there will be no trouble in
having it made a daily service. Let our
citizens interest themselves i'm this mat
ter and We can secure this much to be
desired change.
