Upon receiving notice of the death of
General Grant, President Cleveland took
prompt action. He Immediately issued
the following proclamation:
The president of the United States
has just received the sad tldings OF the
death of that illustrious citizen and ex-
president of tho United States, General
Ulysses S. Grant, at Mt. McGregor, in
the state of New York, to which
place he has lately been removed in the
endeavor to prolong his life. In making
this announcement to the people of the
United States the president is impressed
with the public loss Of the great military
leader who was in the hour Of
victory maRnanimous, amid disaster
serene and self sustained, who
in every station. whether as soldier or
as chief magistrate, twice called to
power by his fellow countrymen, trod
unswervinRly the pathway of duty, un-
deferred by doubts, single and straight
forward. The entire country has wit
messed with deep emotion his prolonged
and patient struggle with painful dis
ease, and has walked by his couch of
suffering with fearful sympathy. The
destined end has come at last and his
spirit has returned to the Creator
who sent it forth. The great
heart of the nation that followed him
when living with love and pride, bows
now with sorrow above him in death.
Tenderly mindful of his virtues, his
great patriotic services and of the loss
occasioned by bis death, in testimony of
respect to the memory of Gen. Grant,
it ls ordered that the executive mansion
and the several departments at Washing
ton be draped IN mourning for the
period OF thirty days, and that all public
business shall on the day of the funeral
be suspended, and the secretaries of war
and the navy will cause orders to be is
sued for appropriate military and naval
hcnors to be rendered on that day.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington thil

Rapid City to Have Railr DAD as
Ea rly as October.
The Omaha Bee says that the Black
Hills people have received the first assu-
rance, after many broken promises, of
early railroad connection with the out
side world. Hope long deferred had a
depressing effect on business IN the vari.
GUS towns and camps, yet the struggle
for life under high rates and bull trains
was carried brayely on for nine long
years. Now the locomotive headlight
blazes in the distance, and ere 1886 rolls
away the cal]iope of commerce will wake
the echoes in the mlneral-crested hills
and valleys. Inc letting OF the contract
tor the grading Of the Northwestern ex.
tension from Chadron, Neb, to Rapid
City has stimulated business of all
kinds. At Rapid City the effect of the
announcement given by the officials of
the road was electrical. Parties who were
undecided whether or not to build dur.
ing the present season are made more
anxious to improve their lots, and every
property owner of the town believes
that times will be far better here during
IAC ou"ICA uuSA luAA VI Uuo DEcS6UU y
year than ever before, and that the CON :
ing of the railroad will make of Rapid
City the most important point in West
ern Dakota or the entire territory. The
contract calls for grading l0l miles OF
roadbed along the line of
survey north from Chadron, and this is
the distance from Chadron to Rapid City.
It is certain that the whole distance will
be tracked before Dot l, 1886, and that on
or about that date the Black Hills may
celebrate the advent of the first locomo.
tive. At the present time the company
has not determined upon the course il
may take in extending beyond Rapid
City, or when such extension will be
made. The latest news from the grade
lines is that work has already been com
menced below the Cheyenne river. ant
1t is believed graders will be cmplo, et
between the Cheyenne river and thi
place, the present year. The town site o
Chadron has finally been located abou

indicate rebellion within the democratic

and ere long they will burst forth in q
