The Buffalo Gap News, in an article
which We copy in this issue, shows a
very clear conception of the relations
that Custer City ana Buffalo Gap bear
toward each other, which is concisely,
and clearly shown in the closing para
graph. The fact is now patent to all,
that Custer county is rapidly tending
toward deserved prominence, and moth
ing Imaginable could be more unwise
than "a divided policy between the two
sections, whose interests, while they are
separate so far rs their character is con
cerned, must by every consideration of
wisdom and progressive policy join
hands in the effort to reach that meas
ure OF prosperity which seems now so
fairly in u reach. 1t is but a matter
Of the simplest justice to award credit
t. the various mineral producing sec
tons of the nlack Hills, in no case ig-
nOring the proper mention of valuable
resource, by reason of It's location being
beyond our county line, and while we
are active in presenting our county's
claims, let us not lose sight of the inn
portant fact. that We are largely Deepen
dent upon the advancement of other
sections for our own success, and that
all our towns are but factors in the
make up of the grand system comprised
in our marve'ors Black Hills country.

smnIIpox In Illinois.

SPRINGFIELD. Ill, April 14.-Thsre
is a serious outbreak of smallpox at
Carmi, in White county. The disease
was introduced by tramp who ap-
peared in the town early in March.
The character of the illness was not
recognized and no precautions were
taken until several other cases had
occurred The State Board of Health
sent a physician to the locality to de-
eide as to the nature of the cases.
They were at once pronounced to be
smallpox, and all necessary preventive
measures have been instituted. Sup
plies of vac inc have been furnished
by the board, and general vaccination
is being enforced. Three deaths have
thus far occurred. One new case was
reported yesterday, and it is feared
that there are others in the surround
ing country.

Mr.. BLACKS EXAMINATION
TIE INVESTIGATION OF THE
PENSION BUREAU.
A Suspicious Case DeVeln7ed, but
Nothing Proven Several
Warm Controversies.

WASHINGTON, April IA The Sem
ate Committee on the Expenditure
of Public Moneys, resumed the exami-
nation of Commissioner Black to-day
Senator Plumb called up the case Of
Lieut.. Jesse Eastwood, 22d Kentucky
Volunteers.
Gen. Black, having examined the
papers, said, in reply to Senator
Plumb, that the claimants regiment
was mustered in for thirty days ser
vice. Twenty days later claimant
was allowed to go home on account of
illness, where he remained until
mustered out. He was never in action,
never in the presence of the enemy
and never slept out OF doors but one
night The records OF the Adjutant
General and Surgeon Generals offices
showed no record of any disability.
The claim was not filed unit 1850.
The evidence secured in a subsequent
examination of the case showed that
the man had rheumatism before he
entered the service; that in 1856 he
cut himself severely with an adze, and
that later he fell from a house and
injured himself permanently. The
case was allowed by Commissioner
Clark, after the present administra-
ton came into power, and the man
received as arrears of pensions
$40, $50. Among the papers in the case
was a letter written by man named
Ewing OF Catlettsburg, KY, to Gen.
j. S. Williams, then Senator, urging
speedy action on the case. The letter
concluded; "By giving him this as
sistance you will favor one of your
warmest friends in past contests. +"
Gen. Williams Endorsed the letter:
II hope the Commissioner of Pen
sions will make this a special case
Gen. Black stated that there was
absolutely no valid evidence in sup
port of the claim, and that the Sl0,-
600 might as well have been allowed
for any other character of fraud. He
stated his understanding that Ewing
was a strong partisan, but in reply to
a series OF searching questions ky
Senator Plumb said that there was
nothing in the record to show whether
Ewing and the claimants were Repub-
licans or Democrats, or that the
knowledge of their politics ever
reached the Pension Office, nor was
there any evidence that the letter of
Ewing, with Gen. Williams's indorse-
ment, ever got beyond the mail di.
vision of the Pension Office, or that
it influenced the decision upon the
case.
During the progress OF the inquiry
there were several controversies be-
tween the members OF the committee,
rs to the scope and cause of the INF
vestigation. The majority of the
members maintain that the proceed
ings should be confined to an exam
nation of the records until they were
disposed OF, while the minority main
aimed that Gen. Black ought to be
flowed to bring in such outside mat
ers as had led to or assisted him to
the formation OF his opinion that the
office under his predecessors was man
aged as a political machine What
these outside matters are has not
transpired. The committee will prob
able meet again on Saturday and will
try to bring the examination of the
record cases submitted by Gen. Black
to an end very soon.

TENNESSEE NOTES.

JACKSON Tribune: 1t is very Ger

NASHVILLE american: Mr.. Gould

template with complacency the effect
of the grocery bill thumb screw upon

MoRRIsTowN Gazette on Senator
Piumb's opposition to the Blair bill:
We are not SURPRISED at Mr.. Plumbs
opposition. 1t is because his people
do not get the lions share. Or it may
be that he does not believe the theory
of the bill, that illiteracy is dangerous
to the public good, is correct.
JACKSON Tribune: If West Tennes-
see is to have the Governor, the Blade
is for man who combines enterprise
with politics, thought and informa-
ton with power of expression, thought
with enthusiasm and capacity for
practical work. We believe such
man is to be found in Mr.. Robert
Gates of this city.
PURDY Democrat on the Blair bill:
Should this bill become a law, it will
inevitably result in conflict of au-
thOrity. The general government will
be necessarily compelled to see that
the money furnished from the United
States Treasury is properly appropri-
ated, and not mis- placed.

than willing to have high license in
our town if it can be got, and we are

burning to death of a lady named

and before Mrs. Thorp reached the
child her own clothing caught and
she, too, was soon wrapped in flames.
