At the special election held on Mon
day for the purpose of choosing "a justice
of the peace for Battle River precinct
there were only s~eventy-one votes poll
ed, or only about one-half of the resi-
dent voters attended. 1t resulted in the
election Of Mr. JEFF Perkins by one
majority over Daniel Maddox. AS this
election was simply to fiji the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation Of Judge
Grass, whose term would have expired
in January, it account for the little in
terest manifested by our citizens in the
matter and hence the light yote.--Pilot.

The question of the future supply of
tin is one which for some time has de-
manded serious consideration. For
nearly three thousand years the world
has been practically dependent upon
two tin deposits for it's supply. So at
this time the preparations for the steady
mining of tin in Dakota, and its discov-
cry in other portions of the country, is Il
matter of vast importance to the people
of the United States, and III fact to the
inhabitants OF the civilized world. 1t
would not be strange in the curse Of
human events to see in the near future
the ships of America bearing tin to the
shores of Europe.-Chicago Mining Re-
view.

CUSTER CHRONICLE.
Oncial Paper Of Custer County.


The following, taken from an old scra
book, was found upon our table with
request for its publication
Would you like to know the secrets
or your neighbors house and life,
How he lives or how he doesn't
And just how he treats his wife,
How he spends his time of leisure,
Whether %sorrowfui or gay
And where he goes for pleasure,
To the concert or the play.
Hyou wish IL I will tell you,
Let me whisper TO you sly;
II your ncighbor Is but civil,
It is not your business why.
And in shor instead Of prying
Into othe, mems affairs;
nyou do your own but Justice,
You will have no time for theirs,
Be attentive TO such matters
As concern yourself alone,
And whatever fortune fatters.
Let your business be your own.
One word by way OF finish,
Lei me whisper to you sly;
fyou wish to be respected,
You must cease TO be a pry.

The Town Cow Discussed.

One of the most annoying things that
the country people have to contend
with is the ordinary town COW. When
the farmer leaves home he puts in the
bottom Of his sled or sleigh a hountiful
armful of hay. This answers the two
fold purpose of q seat and to keep the
feet of himself and the good wife warm.
He drives to town, unloads his wife in
front of some store, and proceeds to
hitch his team at some point about the
public square. No sooner is his back
turned than a dozen starved cows i'm
mediately surrounds his sled, and be-
fore he can say Jack Robinson. with
his mouth open,' every straw in his
sled has gone through the gastric orifi-
ces of the aforesaid COWS. We noticed
one particularly-careful fellow the other
day. He was going to have the dead
wood on that bunch Of hay, and depart
ed for a saloon with a grin on his face.
We watched the proceedings with CON
siderable interest. He was not out of
sight until three long-horns opened the
gate and proceeded to the pile and
chcwed it up. Clubbing these lean
kline does no good. In fact, they rather
enjoy the fun. 1Ou can take an Ordl-
nary stick of cordwood and bounce ii
from of the carcases fifty feet high and
they will turn around and smile at you.
They don't even grunt when you har
hit them hard enough to stave in thei.
ribs. Such punishment seems only tc
act as a tonic; it whets their appetites
and makes them enjoy the repast which
the farmer has hepled to them from hi
home many miles distant. And afterit
is all over, Just notice the peculiar lool
they give the man who came to tow
sitting on u pile of hay as he depart:
sitting on the bear boards! The tow
COW is q nuisance, but at the same timt
a necessity in all rual villages. A "hom'
without 4 mother would not be a NOR
lonesome specticle than a rural village
without its herd of lean, long-horned
stump-tailed cows.-West Union CO..

Temperance Hotels.

Temperance hotels never seern to
flourish, and the reason seems to be that
temperance people never patronize
them. When Mr.. Z. C, Deleyan started
the big Dclevan House at Albany, some
fifty years ago, it was agreat, barn-like
affair, and it was badly kept. Fanny
Kemble said of it that its strong points
were Bibles and bedbugs. Delevan
started a hotel on Broadway, New York.
on a pretty large scale, called the Croton
Hotel. 1t was q strictly temperance
house, and it lived but two or three
| easons. Influential people visiting the
large cities, even if they do not imbibe
the "critter' usually patronize the
houses where it is sold.-Boston BH2get.

Animal Life In the Deep Sea.

The most extensive explorations were
made by the British expedition on the
sChallen ger, which returned home in
1876 after three and half years of in
vestigation in all the oceans. By this
famous expedition thousands Of new
organisms We're discovered, in all locali-
ties and at all depths in the sea, and have
been or are now being described by
specialists in all quarters of the world.
There seems to be no part of the ocean
bed SO deep, so dark, so still, or where
the pressure is SO great as to have eff
fectualy raised barrier to life in some
OF its many forms. Even in the greater
depths all the great divisions of the
animal kingdom are represented.
Descending into the deeper waters, and
proceeding further seaward from the
borders Of the continents, species and
individuals become fewer and fewer, till
a minimum is reached in the greatest
depths farthest from continental land.
In the adaptation of organism to deep
sea conditions curious notifications have
occurred, such as the disappearance or
enlargement of the eyes. the elongation
Of fins and antenna, the increase in size
and decrease in number of eggs, and the
development of phosphorescent organs.

His plan are not entirely made public,

the steel through the rolls and bringing
it out plated with tin in sheets of any

nounced successful, and patents have
been sought on the process.-Boston

Encouraging Figures.

At the recent conference of Montana
and Dakota cattlemcn with the Board of
Trade, in St. Paul, Mr.. j. B. Power, of
the Hclcndale Stock Farm, in the Red
River Valley, and we'll known in the
Northwest as IL successful breeder of
cattle and horses, made some very inter-
csting statements. He said that his stock
cattle had cost only 3 cents per day each
for winter feeding. The beef cattle were
prepared for market at Il cost (including
labor and interest on capital invested in
the buildings) of Is cents per day. The
average gain in flesh Of each animal was
from fr9 l!s. two to three pounds 1; per day. He
times a small proportion of corn The
hay and straw were very cheap, and the
grain was estimated at the market price.
The actual profit was something over $16
head in fOrty-three days

The man whose soul ycarneth for title
to his tree-claim will stick to ash-leaved
maple (box-clder). Not that we believe
no better tree will grow in Dakota but
on the bare prairie it is the surest. Many
trees of the valuable kinds will un-
doubtedly grow here, with proper care
but how many farmers in a new country,
with a hundred contemplated improve
ments in view can find time to give young
trees of the better kinds the attention
they require? Every farmer should, and
most of them are, making experiments
with the various hardy varieties. But
life IS too short to devote much of it to
experiment on timber-claim. Let the
tests be made outside of your legal ten
