1t becomes our painful duty TO chron-
icle the death of Francis Maynard, who
for the past nine years has been highly
respected member Of this community,
which occurred at his residence, two
miles east of this city, on Saturday, Sept.
lst, at - o'clock m.
Francis Maynard was born at Hart
ford, Washington county, New York, in
1913. AT the age of 20 years, being
afflicted with lung trouble, he was ad-
vised TO 20 west, with view to the
recuperation of his health, which he
accordingly done, and from which he
received some benefit. Twice he re-
turned to his home and friends in New
York, with whom he greatly desired to
remain, but the relentless disease (con-
sumption) becoming further aggravated,
he was again compelled TO change
his location, which he did, coming to
this place with his family, but not until
tliC cdtcu dlSNdsC lI0N uhtll SuII al
firm hold upon him, as to place his re-
covery beyond the bounds of hope.
His decline, which under less favorable
climatic conditions would have been
rapid, has since his arrival in this
locality. been extremely gradual, but
none the less certain in its final result
The deceased may be said to have been
man Of such exemplary character, and
marked Christian predictions, that his
example may be fifty chosen for general
emulation; and the entire community
will unite with his afIectonate wife and
family in deploring his sad demise.
The funeral services, conducted by
Rev. Frame, Of Buffalo Gap, where held
at the Congregational church in this city
Oh. sunday, at 2 o'clock p. m, after
which his remains were followed TO the
Custer cemetery by large concourse Of
people, where they were consigned to
their last rest.

The Custer Grain Crop.

The grain harvest is fairly on in this
locality, which promises to be by far the
most extensive ever known to this sec.
ton. A single field Of oats containing
one hundred acres, adjoining the west
ern limits Of the city, owned by Mr.. n.
5. Tubbs, attracts much attention in
consequence Of it's wonderful growth,
and surprising standard Of excellence,
and has been pronounced by experience
ed farmers from Illinois, Kansas and
other prominent wheat producing states,
superior to any they have ever seen.
The adaptability of this particular
section to the growth Of this cereal Is
well attested upon the farm of J. T..
Pitcher, whose farm also adjoins the
western limits Of this city, where a
volunteer crop Of fifteen acres will yield.
according TO the lowest estimate, Atty
bushels TO the acre. G. VI. Green and
Sons, who last year raised $500 bushels
Of oats will more than duplicate that
product the present year. Other far
mers, too numerous to mention, within
a radius OF ten miles Of this place have
excellent crops, not one Of whom have
suffered loss from any cause whatever
and it is safe to estimate the aggregate
yield Of oats alone, within the radius
named, at an amount exceeding one
hundred thousand bushels. This pro-
duct alone will add to the wealth Of this
section, estimating its value at IS cents
per hundred, the lowest market rate,
sum exceeding $4,000, which may be
accepted as q very handsome revenue to
be derived from single product grown
upon SO small an area.
That this section is equally we'll
adapted to the growth Of wheat is fully
assured by the enormous yield resulting
wherever sown; but in consequence Of
the lack of milling facilities it is by no
means as extensively grown as it would
be under more favorable circumstances.
The yield Of wheat has been insight
ticant in the aggregate this year, but in
proportion to the acreage, it is not sur
passed, even in Dakota. Forty bushels
TO the acre is considered moderate
estimate for that product in this locality,
which exceeds the average yield in any
other known region.
This locality bids fair to lead the list
as a grain producing section in the early
future. when the development of our
mineral resources will furnish a ready
market for the same.

which he has done so much for Jackson, is
in the main, due to him. He brought to it
| that splendid business training, superior
qualification and untiring zeal, which in
spired the efforts Of others, and which result
ed in so much good to the city. Through the
instrumentality of this Board, new life has
| been put in the city, which, without some
such organization in this age of progress, vim
| and enterprise, would have been left far in
| the rear to rust and moulder in an atmos-
phere of old fogyism unsuited to the times,
| and unwholesome for future financial health
| and prosperity. The result OF this good work
| has be9n to inspire the people of Jackson
with united purpose to utilize its advan-
| tages and to protect her from the encroach-
| ment of monopolies-to induce them to couI-
sci together for the good of the.city as whole
and not the building up of any one enterprise
to the detriment of another The voice of
this Board is potent with common carriers,
WITH city and county government, for its
purpose tends to mutual benefits. Putting
business on sound basis and the building
up of industries, are of great interest to the
entire community and to the great views
which sustain and receive sustenance by
such Improvements. The harmony, in
creas zeal and enterprise developed and
brought about by this Board of Trade, has un.
doubtedly been of great benefit to this city
an county, besides being the indirect If not
the direct cause as assuring to the city water
works, electric lights, saw mills and other
much needed industries and enterprises, all

Tho habit of dram drinking, it is
said, leads to fatty degeneration of the
heart. e., excessive f~attening around
the heart and weak action of the heart
in consequence. So, too, the habit of
exciting novel reading leads to fatty
degeneration of the literary mind
l. e., to an unhealthy and spasmodic
action of the imagination and a gen.
eral weakening of the power Of enter
ing thoroughly into the solid interests
of real life.
So far as we know, the only effective
cure for this habit of literary dram
drinkng-a cure not always forth
coming-is q moral shock of some
kind which exposes the hollowness of
all these unreal interests and makes
them appear artificial and melodra-
matte as they actually are. That, how
ever, is q cure which is an extremely
painful one, almost cruel in its dis
illusionizing power. There are, We
believe, some happier mortals who can
cure themselves, as the grocers' shop
boys are said to be cured of their taste
for sugar and raisins and such dainties
by an early surfeit of them; but that
IS a kind of cure which it takes a very
healthy mind to operate upon.
As a rule, even where the surfeit de-
stroys the zest of novel reading, it also
leaves the mind too languid to take
eagerly TO palmer and moro whole
some food, and so at once DESTROYS the
pleasure taken in the poison, and
leaves the mischief produced by it

DR.. j. Harris Rogers. of Washing
ton, is responsible for a new telegraph
invention, which will be known as
visual s~ynchronism. Tie discovery
consists of u method by which two
wheels, thousands of miles apart, may
be kept revolving in perfect unison,
and the application consists in the
ability to print and transmit from one
wheel to another about $50 words a
minute. By means of u small instru
ment with ten keys u message is first
perforated on a tape. This tape runs
through a Geographic instrument, and
the perforations permit small steel fin
gers to make electrical connections
with an ordinary telegraph wire, which
i'll its turn connects with the receiver
on the other distant wheel, and inGu
ences lei magnoss provided with
curve and strokes, which combine to
form Roman letters in accordance with
the original p~erforations.
The two indicators or wheels which
actually form the visual s~ynchronism
give 900 revolutions a minute, and
each revolution forms u letter. This
gives about $50 words n minute. Tho
Morse characters have to be inter
prcted, but as visual synchronomic
messages come out in Roman letters,
much labor is saved. photographic
