The Reunion.

The first annual reunion Of soldiers
and sailors residing in the Black Hills, as
sembled at Sturgis on the 3rd inst, more
than two hundred veterans participating
Lack Of space precludcs anything be
You'd the mere mention of this i'm
portant event, which il said to have
been highly successful in all It's features.
Eloquent and appropriate speeches were
delivered, patriotic songs and instru-
mental music enliyened the occasion,
and a general interchange Of interesting
wal "reminiscences and personal ex-
periences was not the least ENJOYABLE
feature Of the occasion. The next an
nual reunion will be held at Rapid
time not yet decided. 1t is to be hoped
that the mistake Of fixing the time for
the holding OF future reunions on the
4th of July will not again occur. The
Grand Army post Of this city, one of the
largest in the Hills, was not represented
at this reunion on account Of feeling q
desire to participate in our home cele-
bration. Had the date been fixed at a
time when nothing of special interest
demanded their presence at home, it is
quite probable that this place would
been represented by one Of the strong
est delegations present on the occasion.

Shaver Retired,

Mr.. Shaver, late lessee, and editor, in
charge of the Buffalo Gap News, has re-
tired to the sublime ' solitude of his
ranch, having been succeeded by A. ID.
Clark, the proprietor Of that paper, who
will hereafter control its columns, as
indicated in the following announce
ment appearing in the issue of the 9th
inst:
With this issue of the News the pro-
proprietor again takes the reins which
have been in various different hands
for the past two years. We leased the
plant in the first place for the reason
that we could not give the paper our
undivided attention. These conditions
still exist, but circumstances render it
necessary for us to again place our name
at the head of the News columns 1--WE
are not aware that this will in any way
be to the advantage of our readers or
patrons,) and it will remain there so
long as we own the types and presses
upon which it is printed.

A Connundrum.

The Pilot, in a late issue, p~ropounds
the following very simple connundrum,
Shall the majority rule?" The CHRoN-
IcLE does not hesitate to answer, Yes,
with a big Y. What further proof does
the Pilot require than is furnished in the
late result Of an abortive effort to call an
election for the purpose of voting upon
the question of the removal Of the coun-
ty seat? The majority opposed the
proposition, and, as usual in such cases,
the minority succumbed to the will OF
the majority, hence the majority ruled
Will the Pilot ask US something of a
more intricate character? This is really
too simple to afford common amuse'
ment. Give us something hard.

stamps are in operation on good ore and
that the prospects are daily growing
brighter. Just before he left a single

Of ore, every pound of which can be got

further says that the body Of ore is
much wider than was formerly supposed,
and what was mistaken for tho west
vein is only a slate horse, which, being
penetrated reveals a body Of ore larger
and richer than the original vein. 5000
tons of ore are stripped and the pros

HERE IS A TRUE HEROINE.

A School Teacher Holds a Mad Dog at
 Bay While Her Pupils Escape.
 NASHVILLE, April 27.-Miss Mollie Green is the heroine in striking episode in Berry county, Tenn. Miss Mollie is only Is, and teaches school on Cypress creek. The father, Robert Green, lives across the Tennessee river in Hickman county. The little log school house was quiet, and the children busy with their lessons, when a shaggy dog, foam ing at the mouth, snapping and biting, dashed in at the door and made towards one of the children. Miss Green sprang between them and the intruder, telling the children it was 8 mad dog. She kicked at the beast, her skirts protecting her, and by the aid of heavy rule kept it at bay until all the children had fled. The infuriated animal repeatedly sprang at her throat, but she was agile and resolutely held her ground
 When all the little ones were gone, she des- perately fought off the dog until she reached the door, which she pulled to after her, and fell fainting outside The children in the meantime ran to the nearest house, an eighth of mile distant, and gave the alarm. Two men soon came and killed the dog, which had been terrorizing the neighborhood for two days. The grateful parents took up a sub scription and gave Miss Green a fine saddle horse Her clothes were literally torn to rib bons during her severe encounter.

Senator Emery Says They Worked {. General Ruin in, Seven Yerrs.
 WASHINGTON, April 26,.-Messrs John Swartz and F. B. Woods, oil refiners, of Pennsylvania, testified before the committee on manufactures that they had applied to the Pennsylvania Railroad company for rebates, and that a rate of IS cents per barrel was returned to them. 1s- 3 .G2--.s
 Lewis Emery, of Bradford, Pa, state senator, testified that the Standard Oil com pany first appeared in the oil fields in 1882 as the South Improvement company. He stated that all independent refineries were ruined between 1872 and 1879 because of the rebates given the Standard company. Witness had refinery in Philadelphia. He was forced to sell out to the Standard company in 1887 be- cause it "deviled him to death" Some years before he had built pipe line from his wells to the Rochester and Pittsburg railroad All went well for some months, after which the influence of the Standard company prevented the railroad furnishing him carS He could have made $40, 900 year out of his pipe line. In 1863 97 per cent. of the oil product was refined in Philadelphia. In 1880 but per cent. was refined in that city, although 90 per cent. of the raw product came from Pennsyl- vania The refining had all gone to New York.
 Witness said that the Pennsylvania Rail- road company had never done fair business in oil. He knew that if the railroads had not given the enormous rebates to the Standard the oil monopoly could never have developedj Witness believed that the Pennsylvania Rail road company still gave rebates He did not care to give his hand away now on that point, as he had suit for rebates against the Pennsylvania Railroad company next week, and witl esses might be spirited away.

 Testerday, at the conclusion of the morning iour in the senate, he came down from the presiding officers chair, and, standing behind Senator Cullomis desk, said:
 Shortly after the senator from Indiana segan his speech yesterday was called from ne Senate to examine and sign a large num- 'er of enrolled bills I had supposed from the lo.ice he rave that his speech was to be de 1oted to the tariff and finance. was some what surprised to learn through one of the iorning papers .ay that had been the nbiect of the senator's animadversion- A >asual examination of his speech seemed to disclose certain omissions with regard to the citations of the Democratic party to the sub iect of pensions, to the war for the preserva- ton of the union, to the reconstruction of ths southern states, to the solid south, to the re- cent elections in Louisiana, and to the issues and results of the coming campaign, which seem to justify reply.

They Killed Themselves Together.
 PHILADELPHIA, April 27.-A most singular double suicide, which is wrapped in the most profound mystery, was discovered by the police last evening in small three story building fronting on 8 narrow court running eastward from Second street, below Girard avenue. The occupants of the house, Ernest Eichfeld, German tailor, 60 years old, and his wife, 55 years old, have not been seen since Monday last. The officers were noti- fled, and entering the house found the body of the woman suspended to the door of the room in the second story, and the body of the man hanging to the door of a closet in the third story. Both bodies were suspended by pieces of clothes line, and from the sirni- larity of the knots it is believed that both were tied by the same person, and that the act was deliberately planned and carried out. No cause for the suicides has yet been found.

Ropo Power Transmission.

1xWHBm188IOne
 Large electric light stations have given e distinct impetus to the use of wire, hemp, or cotton rope running at high speed over . grooved wheel instead of leather belting on fat faced pullies Among tho advantages claimed for the rope transmitters is economy the rope costing about one-thirtieth as much as the leather belt; while the former obviates tho noise at high speeds, Is very much lighter in weight, demands little attention compared with a belt. The latter requires man in the business to put one on right, and sometimes they don't always do it right; any deviation out of line of the shafting affects tho belt, while it has no effect on rope; the rope re- quires less room, and will pass through Q round hole little larger than It's own diam eter.-Chicago News.
