THE MOST BRILLIANT

THE MOST BRILLIANT
or the kind that has ever taken place in
the Hills, and preparations will be made
to accommodate at least 5000 strangers
during the time the celebration contin-
ueS.
From Friday, May 25, until Wednes-
day, May 80, no Eastern mails were re-
celyed in Deadwood, or, as for that
matter, at any point on the
+: b. d M. V. railroad west of
Chadron. The company assigned as
occurring Friday, by which portion of
the track was washed out, and alleged
1t was impossible to complete repairs so
that mail matter OF passengers could be
carried through before the 30th. Much
annoyance and considerable disgust has
resulted. 1t is said that equally as
{ damaging waShOutS occurred in more
thckly settled portion of the country,
or when rival line transporting freight
and passengers Oh the same parallel,
that the breaks could have been easily
remedled in twenty-four hours. Gov.
Church has dampened the spirits but
not the military ardor of the local
MILITIA COMPANY.
In letter to Lieut. Bonham the gov
ernor regrets that circumstances COM
pei him to decline the proffered services
OF the company, and necessitate his re-
fusal to furnish it uniforms and equip
1t with arms. The trouble is the terri
tory's portion of the funds appropriated
for militia service has been exhausted,
and the executive is, therefore, unable
to accede to the company's request and
desires. The boys had. before the un-
expected negative arrived, become
welded to their daily drill, however,
and are thinking seriously of forming
an independent company. Judge Hugre
Wilkinson, of Carbonate, one of the
most popular men in the hills, largely
interested in mining, and withal a
staunch and answering Democrat, has
been appointed aide-de-camp on the
governors staff, with the rank
of colonel. His appointment gives gen.
eral satisfaction, and if the executive
will now reconsider his refusal to equip
the DeadwOod company with arms and
uniforms, he will earn the undying adj
miratiOn of not few voters in this Sec
ton of the territory. The grand lodge
of
DAKOTA MAsONs
assemblies in Deadwood next week, and
already few members have commenced
arriving. Six hundred visitors are eX-
pected, and elaborate preparations have
been made for their reception. A ball
will be given at the opera house on the
night of the 18th, at which fully 1850
people will attend. The event prom
ises to prove memorable one in the
| history of Dakota Masonry.
The city council held its regular semi
monthly session on the night of the 5th.
A member offered an ordinance that, if
passed, will largely cut down the per-
quisities of the city attorney, now al
lowed So each time man arrested for
drunkenness pleads guilty, whether he

The party to be affected was present

councilman offering it. The latter re-
piled in kindred language, and within a
very brief while the debate waXed SO

wind up in a rough and tumble, go-as-
you-please, free-for-all fight. Fortu-
nately. however, one of the calmer
members, rising to point of order. sue
ceeded in quoting the boiling spirits OF
the belligerents for the time. The end
has not come, hewever, it being gener,
ally conceded that the present city at
