CUSTER CITY.

The l%,oneer town ofthe Hills is situat.
Ell In the southern portion about twelve
Jr fifteen miles from the foothills and
it, natural advantages are acknowledged
by ali as excelling aNl others either in
the mining or agricultural districts.
located in Il valley ten or twelve miles
long 10y one mile in width, it is easily
accessible to railroads either from the
east, south or west, and is the only town

road running on an east and west line,
tap any other town. a road, having as its
objective point the Yellowstone park or
the Pacific coast. would have 10 make a
detou. from 100 10 200 miles. Already
surveys have been run by various roads
having this point in view. Thus %situat-
ed 1T draws to its support the business
of the mining districts Of the Southern
Hills and also that Of the farming and
30 k raising interests, the latter ex-
tending for sixty miles TO the south and
west. II is also the centre of the richest
mica district in the world, there being
within a radius of three miles no less
than a half dozen producing mines the
annual yield of which is upward of
10000 pounds of m~crchantablc mica to
the mine. On the north, and from two
TO ten miles from town are the bonanza
gold mines Of the Southern Hills incIud-
ing the Grand Junction; Old Bill, Hart
ford, Atlantic, Salmon, st. Elmo, Penob-
scot, Gold Star and others, n majority Of
which have mills, hoisting works, etc,
now in operation. On the south for ten
or twelve miles are TO be found rich cop
per and silver mines and on the west
the coal fields, gypsum beds, salt and oil
springs, while fertile farming lands are
sandwiched in between all. As an illu-
s~tration Of the money to be made on
even a small piece of farming land in
..he valleys surrounding Custer we will
state that j. n. Wright on seventeen
acres, located two miles west Of town,
cleared 81 500 in one summer. On the
south, within six or eight hours ride,
are the famous Hot Springs, whose cur
ative powers are already attracting the
attention Of the outside world, and
which are equal to those Of Arkansas.
The town is the county seat Of Custer
county, which hasan area Of 5000 square
miles, tw0-thirds of which is agricultural
and grazing lands and the other third
mineral, the latter occupying the north
ern portion of the county are covered
with a heavy growth Of Norway pine
The town has Il $4,000 court house, tw,
fine church buildings, belonging to til,
Methodist and Congregational societies
and will soon have a large school build
ing. Business is increasing, improve
ments are being made daily and it j
bound to be the metropolis ofthe South

A SAD CAsE.-A Western paper
is in receipt of a short story from
Chicago, which is so full of misery
that there is no fun in it anywhere
but it is told as a warning to ladies
to be careful how they accuse SER
want girls of crime. A man from
the hicago carpet company was
sent to a house recently to put
down a carpet, and in the work it
was necessary to remove a large
mirror, and in doing 30 bcauti-
ful breast-pin fell upon the carpet,
which the man gave to the lady of
the house. Instead of a smile Of
thankfulness from the lady, which
the man expected, the lady fell
down on her knees sobbin0
and praying, and asking God to
forgive her for her injustice. The
man was paralyzed, and thought
the woman was crazy, but she ex-
planned to him, as she put on her
cloak to 60 down town, thata ser
want girl had been accused of
stealing the breast-pin, and was
serving a term in the penitentiary
for it.
The woman hustled down to her
husbands Office and showed the
pin, and in an hour, work was be-
gun to release the poor girl from
prison, where she had been for ma
ny months. Who can picture the
sufferings Of that poor, honest
girl, in prison, serving a sentence
for crime which she did not COM
NIT, and who can realize the ago
NY Of the woman who sent her
there ? The paper trusts that the
poor girl will have been released
before this is read, and that the
wealthy woman will amply reward
her for the suffering she has en-
I dured. Such cases are too fire.

cencc is made to suffer on circum-

trate. This lady, now in England, is re-
ceived abroad with great interest and at
tsntion and is feted by people of high
station and admired by all who have the
good fortune to be touched by her magic
spell as an actress. In her native Ian d
however, this lady was never anywhere
accorded such notice. Upon the occasion
ofh er first visit TO New York was she re-
ceived with plaudits, flowers and adora-
ton. Not at ell, but it was with the great
est difficulty that theatre could be en-
gagged in which she might appear. Miss
Anderson was already favorite in the
minor western cities but New York greeted
her with an icicle. The reception accord
ed Miss Terry is gratifying aud as it
should be, not because she IS foreigner,
but because she is a lady and an artist.
But for that matter, the people who were
the first to bestow attention, were indif-
ferent to the real reason why the recogni-
ton should be bestowed. After Mary An
derson has been recognized" abroad, she
may return home and the elite will bow at
her feet in homage. Such is the role of
fashion, undiscriminating, uncultured,
hollow. Where is the heart OF the gener-
alton is question that is not readily to
be answered.

Especial Telegram 10 the Globe. I

Special Telegram to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Secretary Teller
gave an emphatic contradiction to the re-
port thai the order issued some months
ago forbidding the Indians from having
more than one wife, and stopping certain
annual dances, had been revoked. He
said that not only was the order issued in
good faith, but chat it would be rigidIy en-
forced. The secretary said among the
tribes that support themselves by
hunting there are but few
cases known of Indian bucks
having more than one squaw. Those In
dams having nothing to do towards sup
plying food for their families, have taken
two or three or sometimes fo1r wives and
draw rations from the government to sup
port them. 1t was to stop this evil the
order was issued. While it is expected there
will be some grumbling, Secretary Teller
does not doubt but it will accomplish the
purpose desired without any serious dis
turbances. General Sherman promised
the help Of the army to aid the interior
department in this work, and by prompt
action the annual ''sun dances' of the
Indians in northern Montana were
prevented. Through the negligence of the
agent of the Pueblo Indians their annual
dance, one of the most revolving known,
was not stopped this year. The agent
was removed and new one appointed,
and next year the secretary says the dance
will be stopped at any cost, although the
Indians say the troops have no right to
interfere and they do not believe they will.
KNOX ON CONTRACTION.
The main feature of Knox's forthcon.
ing report will be his discussion of the
condition of the national banks and the
threatened contraction of their sclrcu-
lation and consequently of the currency
by the rapid payment of the public debt.
The controller will recommend as the best
method of preventing the rapid pay
nent of the public debt the
further reduction OF revenue. He will
argue in favor of material decrease of
tariff taxation and in this he will be sup
ported by Secretary Folger. The second
suggestion will be the conversion of the
into 3 per cents. the government Offering
the holders an inducement in the shape of
a premium. He will also recommend a
measure that will induce banks owning
called 80 to replace them with and ~ 4
per cents. and thatsa circulation equal to
80 per cent. of the market value of the
bonds be granted instead of as now 80 per
cent. of the face value.

Mr.. GEORGE L. CANNON, of Utah speak
ing of the Edmunds law says st has
whooped our people up by inducing young
people formerly Indifferent to the Mormon
church TO take Sides" Moreover, he says
the law has been enforced in an oppressive
way and made retroactive. Mr. Cannon does
not appear to be in disagreement with the
general public as to the effect of the law
spoken of. Mornonism and polygamy
are stronger because of it. Republican
craftsmanship OF every kind is upon the
back action plan and strengthens what
is upon the surface it purports to control
regulate or oppose. In the matter of pen
sion frauds the laws were so loosely
framed, either purposely, ignorantly or
oarelessly that hundreds of thousands per-
haps millions, of dollars have been wrong
fully taken from the treasury. These
things will continue as long as the people
permit the Republican party to retain
power. The organization is fostering with
sores of the character described.
