The Land once Removal.

It looks very much as if the land office
would not be removed from Deadwood
to Rapid City, if the following from the
register and receiver to commissioner Of
the general land Office is properly CON
strued by the ADVERTISER. The story
runs that when President Cleveland
signed the order for the removal of the
office three years ago, Judge Moody was
the person who induced the president to
revoke the order; and that during the
late campaign Judge Moody made a
speech at Rapid, denouncing Cleveland
in very emphatic manner. The speech
was published, and when it reached the
ears Of the chief executive be arose ID
Sturgis advertiser. (Sturgis, Dakota [S.D.]) 1887-1???, 1888-12-27

his wrath and swore vengeance against
the''judge, ,sand it is believed by many
that Cleveland signed the order without
hesitation to play even as far as possible,
hoping the removal of the Office might
be effected before the expiration of his
term. But, as we understand it, large
number of proofs of publication will
mature the latter part of February set
for hearing before the register and re-
ceiver at Deadwood which will prevent
the removal of the office before the date
fixed. Therefore, those opposing its re-
moval will have an opportunity lay a re-
monstrance before the new admin1stra-
ton, showing, among other things, that
Cleveland ordered the removal through
malace toward Judge Moody. The fol-
lowing official letter explains itself:
DEADwooD, d. T., Dec. 81.
Honorable Commissioner General. Land Office.
Washington, d. G.
SIR:-In compliance with order con-
tanned in letter "a" December IA, 1883,
and accompanying copy Of notice of re-
moval of this Office from Deadwood to
Rapid City, d. T., the receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged, we will close
this Office March 5, 1889, and open the
same at Rapid City, D. T., March 20,
1889. Owing to the state of our dockets
on which business to be transacted here
is docketed up to last ofFebruary, 1889,
this is the earliest date at which we can
close the office for removal.
Due notice as required in letter "a"
December IA, 1888, will be given.
Very respectfully.

Grand Masquerade Ball.

This entertainment promises to sur
pass anything of the kind given this sea-
son. The masks and suits will present
many new and attractive features, which
combined with the excellent music and
lengthy programme will make the ball
worth double the price Of a ticket. The
management has decided to observe the
usual custom of admitting all ladies free,
thus permitting a gentleman to take
more than one lady if be SO desires.
While great many spectators are an
ticipated. parents are respectfully re-
quested to keep their children at home
wherever it is convenient to do SO, as the
room is small and will be crowded.

A Convenient Calendar and stand.

The most convenient, valuable, and
novel business, table, or desk calendar
for 1889. is the Columbia bicycle calen-
dar and stand issued by Pope Mfg. Co.,
OF Boston, Mass. The calendar proper
is in the form of pad containing 365
leaves, one for each day in the year, to
be torn off daily. The leaves are 51x2a
inches, portion of each is left blank for
memoranda, and as the leaves are not
pasted, but sewed at the ends, any entirE
leaf, as well as the memorandum blank,
can be exposed whenever desired. The
pad rests upon portable stand, which
takes up very little room, and when
placed upon the desk or writing table,
the entire surface OF the date leaf is
brought directly, and left constantly,
before the eye, furnishing date and mem
oranda, impossible to be overlooked.
The upper portion of the stand is made
of pressed pulp, with the word "Colum-
bia' in raised letters at the top, the
whole being handsomely gilded, and
practically indestrucible. Besides the
month, the days of the month and week,
the number OF days of the year passed
and to come, are specified; and upon
each slip appear quotations. pertaining
to cycling, from leading publications and
prominent writer's on both sides of the
ocean. Although this is the fourth year
of the Columbia calendar, the quotations
are fresh and new, and mention the mo-
table events in cycling, opinions of med

Strange as it may appear at first
thought the pleasant warm weather en-

the means Of making the wolves bold and
vicious. Usually at this time Of the
season more or less dead stock is found
upon the range, furnishing food for the
wild beasts, but this year dead animal
is rarely seen upon the prairies, which
accounts for wolves being so savage.

the Hills country in general and this

seeking for enlightenment Of this charac-

more interest is manifested at this time
by those looking for new locations and
homes the in west than for many months
past.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE burglary
of Henry Greenfells house was accom-

shrewdness. 1t occu rred last night

The Hatfeid-McCoy War.

CATTLETsBURG, Ky, Jan. 1.-THE
latest intelligence from the seat of the
Hatfield McCOy war is to the effect that
the Mccoy poSsee captured Will Hat
field and five others on their raid the
other nig Int and landed them safe in the
Pike county jail. One man more was
killed who has not been reported-Jeff
Nickels. Everybody is up in arms and
the scenes surpass those of the late war.
There is but little sleeping done in
Pikeyillc now. The Hatfields are
known to be well organized. Win
chester rifles are in great demand and
command good prices. Capt. Hatfield
was dangerously wounded in the last
encounter, but managed to make his es-
cape. The Hatfield party has been
badly worsted in the last two engage
ments, the Mccoy party and authorities
escaping unhurt.
