How Girls Cheaper Themselves.

From the New York Evening World
Girls do not know how much they
cheaper themselves in the eyes of all men
when they permit and indulge in a
familiarity of speech and manner
Familiarity breads contempt is an old
saw that holds the concrete wisdom of
more generations than our young people
have lived minutes, and like alt other
maxims based upon the facts of human
experience, it will be true until the race
of Adam is extinct. 1t is as easy to have
good manners as TO have bad ones; but
to have them they must be taught in the
nursery, and used habitually at home.
The practice of habitua! courtesy at home
will make you courteous abroad, and to
be esteemed well bred is certainly worth
all the trouble that can be taken to
acquire it.

The country grows in the Republican
direction. The new census shows that
the Republican states have an increase of
S,722, 900 over the last census, while the
Democratic states have an increase of
only 4,576, 600, an advantage of ALAG. 900
in favor of the Republican states. 1t is
apparent that the re-apportionment TO
be made on the new basis will make a
large difference in favor of the Repub-
lCan paTty.

Almost Here.

Well, the expcctant Custerite, ii he
cannot see the cars, he can at least hear
the whistle which now awakes the
slumbering echoes in the outlying
mountains. The track has reached sec
ton 40, and will probably be on Al this
evening, three miles distant. We may
now figure with a fair degree of certain
ty upon the time of the completion OF
the line to this city, which will doubt
less be on Wednesday next, Octobert lst.
In accordance with the expressed
wishes of the company, no public cele-
bration of the suspicious event will be
held, but the citizens OF Custer will
nevertheless appreciate the paramount
Importance of the occasion, and silently,
exult over the realization Of their long
deferred hopes. AS the CHRONICLE has
repeatedly stated in former issues, the
track will be held here for some time, in
consequence of the grade north of this
place being incomplete. II is fairly GER
tain that no freight will be carried
north of this place for six weeks to
come, and perchance, in case o unfavor-
able weather, not until next spring.
The completion of the road to Dead
wood this year, now hinges entirely
upon the character Of the weather.

LynchinR Burlesoued.

A somewhat impressive burlesque
lynching incident occurred at Section
AZ, three miles south of this city on Sum
day, the 2lst inst, in which one Marshal
McCorkhill, a former cook at the rail-
road bording house of Mrs. King at hat
place. figured as the victim, and
one John Cummings, ahobo boarder, Of
Mrs. Kings. as master of ceremonies.
1t appears that McCorkhill, who had
been absent from the camp for some
time, had IN this occasion returned for
the purpose collecting a balance due
him from Mrs. King for services render
ed, and that for the purpose of soaring
him off the premises, Cumming threw a
rope about his neck and made ~pretense
of dragging him to a tree for execution
McCorkhill in the mean time making
frantic efforts to escape, which he finally
succeeded in doing, and with his neck
somewhat lacerated and swollen, he
made his way through the woods, across
lodges over brush and bramble, to this
city in a state. of excitement bordring
upon insanity, the most thoroughly
frightened individual imaginable.
Cummins was arrested on Monday and
brought before justice Hitch at this place
to answer for the crime committed, the
trial resulting in a fine Of ten dollars
and accompanying costs. That's all.

| X. Brennan Of this city n Of the most
active and Efficient members of the
board a Republican reporter learned
that no steps for the issue Of a catalogue
have yet been made, that nothing has
been heard from the secretary of the
board, Don. C.. Needham Of Jerauld
county. and that correspondence in re.
gard to assays, tests of ore in bulk and

il is TO lay put the course of instruction

A Good Day for Methodism.

Rev. j. w. Hancher, president Of the
Black Hills Methodist college. occupied
the pulpit in the M. L. church at Custer
last Sunday, Sept. 2lst, morning and
evening.
Through unavoidable circumstances
he was compelled to drive nearly all
night, not reaching Custer until $3.50
Sunday morning. But worn and weary
as he was, he delighted the good sized
attentive congregation with a most
beautiful exposition, and extremely pact
ical application of III Peter /, chapter LIST,
eleven verses. 1t was soul stirring and
heart lifting. 1t was a feast to the
Christian and a warning to the sinner.
Twenty-Five tarried and enjoyed the
morning class meeting. In the evening
the church was filed to about the last
sitting. Fully two-thirds of the congre-
CATION were young people. The theme,
"The Problem of Life" had the LIST psalm
as its Foundation. For nearly an hour,
the speaker. with his great Christian
heart, filled with love and interest for
the young people. poured forth thoughts
and suggestions to be carried out if we
would solve the Problem of Life. Earn
estly did he argue for, and urge a full
development Of the physical. intellectual
and spiritual man If we are to make life
a success.
1T was splendid" was the general ex-
preston. The pastor for himself, and
in behalf of his people, hereby acknowl-
edge our gratitude for Bro. Hancher's
help, and invite him to come again.
