storm the other day and some of the
tents were blown down; Judge Cook
was asleep in one of them and in falling
one oi the poles smote him exceeding
hard on the Uranium whereby he eawokc.
This storm came from the east After
it had passed about twenty minutes, We
looked in the direction it went, and be-

reinforcement, looking az black as night.

Railroad Talk.

An additional grading contract Of 80
miles on the S. G. & p. r. r. has been
let to Mr.. Treat and the sub contractors
are out picking out their ground.
We are indebted for the above to n.
Atchison, who says he thinks the addi-
tional grade is on the Black Hills
brauch, but we think that highly i'm
probable.
Further talk on the subject developes
the fact that the K. X. company have
run their survey and set grade stakes
only to the TAN ranch, % miles north.
west of Chadron, from that three sur
veys have been run, one bearing nearly
west, one more to the southwest. These
are the only ones that have been run by
the company, the one from that point
running north on the east of the Hills
to Rapid City having been made at
Rapid Citys expense, and has nothing
to do with the s. c. & p. r. X. company.
And, further. that the road to the above
ranch, instead of being the Black Hills
branch or any other, is the main trunk
line which will be graded % miles on
one or the other of the lines running
from the above ranch, west and south.
Such being the case some point on the
Iiorseheai will be the nearest Hills
point, and moments thought will con-
vince any one of its probability The
main line run in that manner would do
away with the Hills branch until the
Sioux reservation is opened, several
years hence, shutting out all compet
tion from the south and save the ex-
pense of operating branch line.

THE MODERN DINNER.
Its spiendor Poor Substitute for Herbs

Lancaster Intalligencer.l
There is good deal in the newspapers
nowadays about elaborate dinners, and
from the description printed of the
flowers and the glass, the china and the
upholstery that furnish the hanquct
boards it might be Judged that the
fea.tS of lucullus and the famous
festivals of the ancients had no such
splcndors as are In the modern dining
rooms of Philadelphia and Wasiin gton.
Social entertainment is fine art. A
dinner may be made the occasion for a
display of the highest refinement. In
the arrangement of the table, the chOic,
of the menu and the selet ton of wines
there is opportunity to exercise great
taste, intellectual accompl shment and Il
nice artistic sense When tho aim is to
minister solely to the sen ual appetite
and to crafty a barDaric desire tor dis
play, the dinner becomes only an affair
for the upholsterer, the florist and the
caterer; the long purse and the most
vulgar taste will perhaps give the big
gest and best dinner. Too many of the
modern dinners are simply affairs of
this kind. The no pays for them and
that is all there is Of him about them;
he might as we'll bestow upon each
guest the cost of his or her share of it
and let them spend it to their liking.

the other features of the feed. The
