In this city on Thursday, the 9Th inst,
Mrs Rebccca Bradley Hitch, wife of Mr..
J.. w. Hitch, of this city, in the 53rd
year Of her age.
The deceased was born In Bourbon
county, Kentucky, in June 1887, and
came to the Black Hills in October,
1887, settling in this city where she
resided up to the time of her demise.
The immediate cause of her death was
paralysis of the heart, which suddenly
ended n period Of protracted suffering
from a complication Of diseases by which
she has been afflicted for the past nine
teen years. She was the mother of
eight children four o n and four daugh-
tiers, the latter dying in infancy and the
former at present residing at this place.
Ofthe deceased it may be truthfully
said, hat she possessed in an eminent
degree, the noble traits Of character
which constitute true womanhood a
devoted wife, an affectionate mother, a
true Christian, with a disposition of
exceptional amiability she was alike adj
mired and loved by all her acquaint-
ances. The sympathy of the entire
cmmunity is extended to the bereaved
family in their deep affection.
The funeral services were held yester-
day at the Congregational church, after
which burial took place at the Custer
cemetery.

City Election.

The annual election of city and school
officers passed off very quietly on Mon
day. There being no contest for any OF
the Offices except that of city justice,
there was less interest manifested, and
less anxiety to exercise the boon oil
suffrage than there would have been
with two tickets in the field. The total
vote cast was 1852, of which number "a
were cast by ladies for school officers, a
privilege for the first time enjoyed by
them in this city, and probably exercised
more for the novelty of the thing than
for any other reason, as it was impossl
BILE under the circumstances, with but
one ticket In field, to change the result.
Less than one-third ofthe ladies eligible
to vote in this city appeared at the polls,
which we accept as an index of the fact,
that a majority Of the gentle sex OF this
place are averse TO the exercise Of this
special privilege. The following officers
were elected
Trustees-James Clark, A. I. Van
Devort, II. A. Albien, Fred Weihe,
Charles Miller, ]. c. Carr, S. N. Fitch.
City Clerk. +. Smith.
Treasurer-T. V. Garlock.

Mr.. Drake, right-of-way mar for the
B. & NJ. has notified property owners in
this city who have signed contracts to
sell lots upon which the survey and
depot site has been located, that he is
ready to pay for the same as o as
deeds are executed, and abstracts fur
nished. A number of the claimants
have already been settled with. The
total amount required to meet these
claims is about $1,000, which the rail-
road company advances without inter-
est !; the city agreeing to levy a special
tax for the purpose of raising such
amount, and to reimburse the company
to the full amount so expended. The
levy for the full amount will be made
this year, but the city will have two
years in which to pay it, which makes
the burden 80 light that it will scarcely
be felt. No town in the Hills can col
sistently expect to acquire a railroad
upon more reasonable terms.

A notable event of the week, and one
of especial interest to this reporter. was
the invitation to dine on Thursday at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Odo
Reder, which, in accordance with a well
established rule of the fraternity. was
eagerly accepted. We are forbidden the
privilege of discussing the matchless
merits Of the tempting spread, under
which the table did not groan for the
reason that tables are not thus gifted,
but it would at least be safe to say. had
we not been specially charged to men,
ton it not, that 1t vas taxed to its ut
most capacity by the pressure of the
choice and delectable viands it sustain
ed. The principal viands prepared for
the occasion were cooked exclusively
by steam in what is known as a steam
cooker with sundry air tight compart-
ments which afford ample facilities for
cooking all the various dishes required
for a first class meal at once. The first
or bottom compartment contains the
water that furnishes the steam which
~circulates around the outer surface Of
the others in such manner as to cook to
perfection their contents whatever II
may be. Even the bread, cake and
pastry. and in fact everything that
served to constitute this very excellent.
and, by us, highly appreciated feast was
cooked In the manner described. For
those who are fortunate enough TO have
a variety Of crude provender on hand.
the compartment cooker Is q very
handy utensil to have in the
house, but editors, as Q rule, must,
perforce, struggle along a best they
may, with a tea-kettle and frying pan.

Mitchell, Sayer & Pitcher have hung
out a very attractive sign at their real

not only serves to attract public atten

but is also a sign suggestive ofthe better
times which is now dawning upon the
well assured future metropolis Of the
Southern Hills.

II. D. Reynolds, a prominent lawyer
of this city, this week received the
appointment of local attorney for
the b. NJ. Railroad company. Mr..
Reynolds has been engaged in
the law practice in this city for the
past five years where he has acquired
an enviable reputation as an attorney
>apd counsellor, and where his practice
has been marked by exceptional success,
and it is a safe presumption that the
legal business of the company entrusted
to his charge will be ably and faithfully
conducted.

The Dudley Reporter, a new six col

junction of the Black Hills branch, and
main line of the b & M. has evidently
a favorable field in which to operate,
and we wish it abundant success.

great number Of holidays with which the

say through want of ready reference, but my
impression is that they average one week

the days appointed for public festivity, bit
also those that are set aside by various
guilds and trades. The butchers, the bakers
and the candlestick makers, this manufac-
tory and that wholesale warehouse, all have
at least one day of special jubilaton in ad-
dltion TO those legally set aside by liberal
and paternal government. II we count the
days that are In part or wholly wasted in
preparation for these celebrations and in re-
cnvery therefrom the total would be some
thing startling.
