CUSTER CITY,


CUSTER CITY,
The pioneer town ofthc HIS is situa'-
ed i'm the southern portion about twelve
or fifteen miles from the foot hills and
its natural advantages are acknowledged
by IL as excclling all others either in
the mining or agricultural districts.
Located in a valley ten or twelve miles
long by one mile in width, it is easily
accessible 10 railroads either from the
east, south or west. and i the only town
in the Hills that couiG be tapped by a
road running on IN east and west line,
fro::. either Pierre or Chamberlain. To
tap any other town, a road, having as its
ob;c1ti,e point tie Yellowstone park or
the Pacific coast, woull have 10 make a
detour from 100 to 200 miles. Already
surveys have been run by various roads
having this point in view. Thus situat-
ed it draws 20 its support the business
Of The mining districts Of the Southern
Hills and also that of the farming and
stock raising interests, the latter ex.
tending Cor sixty miles to the south and
west. 1t is also the centre Of the richest
mica district in the world, there being
within q radius of three miles 10 less
than a half dozen producing mines the
annual yield of when is upward OF
|, 10000 pounds of understandable mica 10
the mine. On the north, and from two
to ten miles from toxin are the bonanza
gold mines of the Southern Hills includ-
| ing the Grand Junction, Old Bill, Hart
ford, Atlantic, Salmon, st. Elmo, Penob,
: scot, Gold Star and others, a majority OF
| which have mills, hosting 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 TIE west
the coal fields, gypsum beds, salt and oil
springs, while fertile farming lands are
sandwiched in between all. As III illu-
f ~stration of the money to be made on
| even 4 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
e south, within six or eight hours ride,
are the famous Hot Springs, whose cur
| alive 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, two-thirds of which is agricultural
D and grazing lands and the other third
mineral, the latter occupying the north
t ern portion Of the county are covered
I with a heavy growth of Norway pine
e The town has a $4,000 conrt house, two
v fine church-buildings, belonging to the
Methodist and Congregational societies
e and will soon have a large school build
ing. Business is increasing, improve
g ments are being made daily and it i:
i bound to be the metropolis ofthe South
ern Hills. All those Of our eastern

Life in the Polar REGIONS.

1t is impossible TO form an idea Of tenn
pest in the Polar seas. The icebergs are
like floating rocks whirled along rapid
current. The huge crystal mountains
dash against each other, backward and
forward, bursting with a roar like thunder,
and returning to the charge until, losing
their equilibrium, they tumble over in a
cloud of spray, upheaving the ice-fields,
which fall afterward like the crack
of whip-lash on the boiling sea. The
sea-gulls fly away screaming, and often a
i black, shining whale comes for an instant
putting to the surface. When the mid
night sun grazes the horizon, the floating
mountains and the rocks seem immersed In
wave of beautiful light. The cold is by
no means so insupportable as is supposed.
We passed from a heated cabin at 30'
above zero to 47o below zero in the
open air without inconvenience. A much
higher degree of cold becomes, however,
insufferable if there is wind. At fifteen
degrees below zero a steam, as If from a
boiling kettle. rises from the water. At
once frozen by the wind, it falls into a
fine powder This phenomenon is called
sea-smoke. At forty degrees the snow
and human bodies also smoke, which
smoke at once changes into millions Of
tiny particles, like needles of ice, which
fill the air and make light continuous
noise, like the rustic of stiff silk. At
this temperature the trunks of trees burst
with loud report, the rocks break up,
and the earth opens and yomits smoking
water. Knives break in cutting butter
Cigars go out by contract with the ice on
the beard To talk is fatiguing. At night
the eyelids are covered with crust of ice
which must he carefully removed before
one can open them.

FIRST AGAINST WITCHCRAFT. - The
honor of being the first to speak out against
the injustice, brutality, and futility of the
prevailing treatment of witches falls to a
Catholic priest, Cornelius Loos by name.
He was followed by the Jesuit, Adolph
Tanner, and more strenuously and effica-
ciously by Frederick Spec, whose hair had
grown prematurely white while attending
to those whom he was appointed to minis
ter at the time of their torture and execu-
ton. His work was published anony-
mously in 1851, and created an immense
sensation. The practice had become too
deep-rooted, however, to yield Immediately
to the influence of his words, but he had
the satisfaction of seeing one Prince at
least, the Elector John Philip Sehsnborn,
of Mayence, abolish the proceedings against
witches. Other Catholic princes followed
his example. In none Of the Protestant
States does the practice appear to have
been given up throughout the whole of the
seventeenth century. The most celebrated
case in the annals of Sweden (called the
trial of Borra) took place so late as 1870
Benedict Cerpzov died 1860, who is called
the lawgiver of Saxony, not only would
have witches executed, but also those who
denied the existence of witchcraft.- Notes

ExTRAsEssIONAL NOTES.

It was learned last evening from the most
trustworthy source that Il compromise confer
ence viii be held to-day between Senators NroO-
man. Mcclure Knight, and perhaps others OF
the conservative element on one side, and Sen
ators Reddy, Spencer of Napa. and two or three
others, probably including Campbell of the As
sembly, from the radical wing. The purpose is
10 see If an agreement cannot be reached upon
a revenue bill which shall be certain and just
to both the people and the railroads causing
each to bear their due proportion of taxation
and under a law which shall be capable of
prompt enforcement other measures, such as
regulation of freights and fares viii also, it is
expected, be considered and with reasonable
prospect that an agreement will be reached
which viii be generally accepted by most of the
various elements of the Legislature. The votes
in theSenate yesterday render il evident that the
committee amendments TO the Barry bill will
be sustained by the Senate, if indeed it does not
become shorn of some of its Objectionable feat
ures. and as it only requires a bare majority to
pass this bill, il must have become apparent to
every observer of even the weakest intellect
that if the Objectionable features of bill which
requires only majority 70 pass it, cannot be
put through. certainly no cinching" Constitu-
tiOnal amendments, which require twO-thirls
of all the members elected to each house can
by any possibility pass. This fact ascertained
the compromise movement stands in fair pros
pect of results which may yield an early end to
this abnormal and extraordinary session which
together with is projectors, should, in all good
conscience, have died bornin."

the most ardent Legislators known to the

with suspicion, and never failed to sug-
gest an amendment One morning, after a

lively until the chaplain closed his
