THAT the appointment of Judge Woods
to succeed Judge Gresham is good one no
one who knows the man will deny. But
Senator Harrison questions the wisdom of
taking him from the Supreme Bench Of In-
diana at this time. In telegram from In
dianapolis the Senator is made to say
The only objection that can be raised to his
appointment from any quarter is that 1t Will
vacate his position on the Supreme Bench and
will put In jeopardy In 1854 what We won in
1850. ! said to the President that as to his
qualifications no objections could be raised.
Whether the Senator's doubts are born Of
chagrin at the defeat of his candidate we do
not know, but certain it is that Woods ap-
pointment is looked upon as a victory for
Gresham. Another telegram from Indian
apolis conveys this fact in the following
words:
While the appointment OF Judge Woods will
be rgarded favorably, 1t cannot be denied that
II is looked upon as IN some sense victory for
Judge Gresham over Senator Harrison, and
VIII have q tendency 10 develop the presumed
latent disagreement between these two gentle
men. The appointment is looked upon as the
work OF Judge Gresham, aided possibly by
Justice Harlan, of the Supreme Court.

Now WE have the official truth at last in
regard to Brother Hendricks sore toe. His
physician, DIR. Thompson, declares that the
Ex-Governor is not afflicted with "senile
gangrene' in his big toe, but that he has only
an ordinary sore toe, such as little boys
have when they "stub" their toe on q
brickbat or "dornick.' Dr. Thompson says
that while delivering speech at Green
castle last fall Mr. Hendricks worked his
toes for two or three hours, thereby produc-
ing
"a necrosis OF the dorsal artery, which was
obstructed, and that caused the upper surface
OF the metatarsal bone TO become exfoliated.
The flesh has raised from the bone, aud now
have ordered that he begin the exercise of that
toe very gradually until the exfoliation has
had time TO disappear and the flesh unite In
Its normal condition."
There you have it. Nothing but me

and its metatarsal bone is becoming exfoli-

time he makes a speech by working his

poetical, retribution, Try it once, just for
luck, Joseph.

1t seems to be the sentiment Of a ma
jority Of our citizens that in placing a
value upon the lots belonging to the
school district, the appraisers should fix
the price of the least valuable at not
less than SO, and use this as a basis for
fixing the price on others more favora-
bly, located. This is certainly q sensible
view of the matter, as no one wanting a
lot for building or garden purposes
would consider the price unreasonable,
and a less price would throw them into
the hands of spectators, who would fix
their " price 10 that actual settlers
could not afford to buy, and thus retard
the growth Of the town and district. and

Mr.. Bush of the sidney ~Piaindeaier
has the following to say Of Custer City
in his Issue Of the 2Sth ult: Custer
City has the prettiest location for a town
of any ! saw i'm the Hills. 1t was the
first town vi the Hills and once had 4
population of nearly 5000 people, but
when the DeadwoOd excitement came
they folded their tents like the Arab
and as silently stole away" Of course
that is only tiguratiyely speaking. The
majority Of them had no tents and man
had nothing more for a covering at night
than a Tucson blanket. Some residents
Of Custer say that there were not fifty
people left i'm the town. But a few staid
and others came. Some mineral was
found, and the farming interests have
added sufficient to make a pleasant lit
tie town of five or six hundred people.
Mica is found within three miles Of
town and the mines are being success
fully worked. Gold and silver mines
have been worked To some extent, but
their management has frequently been
bad and as a consequence not much bull
lion is sent out from Custer.

The Record of Sturgis which was pub
lished for the first time last week, by
Moody & Elliott, starts off with the fol-
lowing announcement:
The Record, being this paper, makes
its appearance to-day as will probably
be noticed. 1t behooves us to say some
thing, in view Of the fact that the sup.
port rendered has been generous and
free. The Record men have been well
received, and they are thankful accord
ingly, but they will make a statement.
The proprietors didn't come here for
fun, any more than did the pioneers of
the town years ago. They are a little
later in putting in an appearance than
many of the men whose names grace
the advertising columns Of the Record,
but they have come to stay. They saw
that Sturgis is certain to become one Of
the best cities in the Hills, and with the
~commcndab!e desire to do a good bust
ness, and in company with the grocers,
and dry goods men, and all other
branches of business they have settled
down to make money.
You can't run a live town without a
newspaper, nor a newspaper without a
town to support it. To the end that
both may prosper, each must contribute
to the good Of the other. rs lon. rs the
Record can do well it will do its best
not for love, but for Sturgis and because
it will be money i'm its till. When the
Record can't be making q little it will
quit business. Both the proprietors
hereof have run newspapers for fun be-
fore-and they wore old clothes behind.
Another thing they didn't come here
for, and that is to subsist on charity.
They give value received, and at n
time a good citizen of Sturgis is dissatis-
fled, no will confer favor by withdraw
ing his patronage, il he feels as il lie
ought to-. That i, only right.
And the Record don't run particular
ly to politics.
