State Auditor Lyons has recently
rendered an important decision affect
ing insurance companies that is OF
general interest as well. A certain
Illinois mutual insurance company APP
piled to him for certificate permitting
it to do business in Iowa, but protest
from other parties was also filed, ask
ing the Auditor not to grant the per-
mission. II seems that some time ago
the company refused to pay loss OF
| 1000, claiming that the policy-holder
had died of drunkenness within forty
eight hours after the policy had been
written. The attorneys for the parties
interested in the payment brought suit
in the district court to compel the
company to pay the claim. The court
decided that the company must pay,
and the supreme court confirmed the
| Judgment. But the company still re-
fused to pay, and the attorneys for the
estate then filed papers with Auditor
Lyons setting out the facts and pro-
testing against allowing the company
| to do business in Iowa. The Auditor,
after considering the matter, informed
the representative of the company that
since the Supreme Court had held the
claim to be valid, it must be satisfied
before the company could do business
in Iowa. After it was apparent that
the Auditor would not yield, the COM
pany agreed to pay the claim. So II
citizens of adjoining States know OF
any crooked business in connection with
their own insurance companies, and
will report to the Iowa authorities
they can shut them out OF the profit
able field which Iowa affords.

At the Brompton Hospital for con-

ment has been published that SO per
cent. OF the patients OF that institution
have unsupported kidney disorder.
This explains why the proprietors OF

the incredulity with which they would
be received were it claimed that War

But the fact is that il your kidneys be

waste matter, and prevent the irrita-
ton of the delicate substances OF the

Business

A change in the well known mercan-
tile firm of Booth 4 Webster of this
place was effected on Saturday the
senior partner. Mr.. S. Nj. Booth, trans
ferring his entire interest in the stock
and company buildings to Mr.. ID. w.
Webster, the junior member Of the firm,
who will continue the business at the
old stand, pending the reftting Of his
store and ware rooms on the corner of
Custer Avenue and Fifth street, one
door west Of the present location.
The future intentions Of Mr.. Booth,
the retiring member of the firm, are not
definitely known to us, but it is probable
he may make a tour of the northwest
with a view to improving his health,
which has been failing for some time,
which may be stated as the chief cause
of his retiring from the extensive and
lucrative business in which he has SC
long been engaged in this city.

The time for planting trees is near al

thing over a thousand dollars worth o.
trees and shrubs have been purchased
by Custer residents for this springs

Custer may well be proud of the native
beauty of her surroundings, SURPRISING
as it does all other towns of the Hills
but devoid Of trees, she would compare
~unfavorably with the most i'll favored
natural townsite, when ornamented
with attractive trees and shrubbery.
Every residence lot, and all others
where it is practicable, should contain
trees even a single tree would greatly
add to the beauty Of a lot, and be worth
many times it's cost in the element of
satisfaction which it would surely bring
to the owner. Custer should have
twenty times the number of trees or
dered, which would make her a verita-
ble mountain paradise. in which the
eastern tourist would linger long, and
from which he would reluctantly de-
part. Let us by all means plant trees,
and plant plenty.

EDITOR CHRONICLE Robert Stewart,
the miner recently injured in the Look
out shaft, is improving rapidly. His
eyes are not as badly injured as was at
first supposed. No fear of his %loosing
his sight is entertained by his friends.
Tom Harrigan, formerly of Lookout,
but at present employed by NJ. III. Day,

not fatal. He had fired a hole and was
hoisted to the surface, in getting out of
the bucket he fell back into the shaft.
The bucket was lowered and he was
hoisted to furface again before the ex-
plosion. He was badly injured about
the head and face his shoulder is also
badly bruised. He was taken to Rapid
by j. Jones.
III. f. Moore has improved so rapidly
that yesterday he was able to assume
charge of the Montana mine again.
Mike McIssacs, late foreman of the
Golden Reward, and an old timer in
Lookout, came in on yesterdays coach
from Deadwood Dame rumor say he
is to take charge of the Sullivan. Geo.
Bissell was also an arrival from Dead
wood.
Mr.. j. McKirahan, of Custer City, was
observed going through on the Dead
wood coach to-day, presumably to do
some work on his property in Ruby
Basin.
Men are employed clearing the Look
out flume, and work is being pushed to
get the mill in readiness to start as soon
as possible.
IT'S rumored that work will COM
mence on the Minnesota in the near

Hill City residents are very naturally
elated over the present glowing prospect
Of a tin boom in the Southern Hills,
which, in the event of its advent, cannot
fail to be highly advantageous to that
place. 1t would not be at all surprising
if Hill City should rise to prominence
within the present year indeed il
might be considered surprising if it did
not. Every circumstance appears favor.
able to the rapid advancement of that
pioneer camp, and that those among
her citizens who have SO long and
patiently awaited the happy urn in the
tide of events will soon meet with a just
reward, seems now fairly assured. We
earn that considerable building is now
being contemplated, and that among
others, j. F. Armstrong and Frank
Holton will, in the early future. cree
neat and commodious residences.
