Tne cavalry comes.

The Eighth cavalry arrived at Fort
Meade Monday morning about o'clock.
A large number OF people drove out
from the city to meet the incoming SOL
diers and watch the assignment to quar-
tiers. The troops were dusty and be-
grimed, and men and animals plainly
showed evidence of their long march Of
over 1900 miles in the saddle. Twelve
companies compose this regiment, six Of
which will remain at this post, while the
remainder viii proceed to various Mon
tana posts. Those which have been as
signed to duty in the northwest win leave
tomorrow. Fort Meade will be regi-
mental headquarters, and as result the
superb band of the regiment will remain
and be one of tie many attractions of
this post. Lieutenant Colonel Meisner
is commander of the Eighth at present,
Colonel Otis, former commander, being
about to enter on the retired list.
The rank and file of the Eighth look
more like soldiers than did the Seventh,
whether it was owing to their hard
looks caused by SO much travel, or be-
cause they are veterans, we do not know,
but from appearances they look more
like fighters than did their predecessors.
The citizens Of Sturgis welcome this
regiment to their new post of duty and
sincerely hope that officers and men alike,
viii be pleased with their surroundings
and that the acquaintance formed may
be mutually pleasurable and profitable.

In our last issue we made an inexcus-
able error in stating that the city coun-
Gil had reduced the assessment on the
National bank property to correspond
with that made by the county commits
sioners. They have not done SO, and
the chances are they will not.
A minister from Indiana so we are
informed has been appointed superin-
tendent Of the Black Hills mission of the
M. E. church, in place Of Rev. Williams
who has occupied that position for the
last four years. Mr.. Williams will have
charge of church affairs at Spearfsh and
Minnesota.
A great deal of complaint is being
made by property owners because the
railroad company has fenced up all the
streets and alleys crossing the track in
several additions of this city. Some
even say that they will not pay their
taxes until they are opened. It is
matter for the city board to look after.
