Why Don,t ShnP

Why don't Custer boom ? is question
which is by no means difficult of
solution. If under existing circum-
stances, Custer should boom, the ques-
ton, why does Custer boom. would then
be very much more difficult to solve.
A moments sober thought should be
sufficient to convince any rational mind
OF the impossibility of booming a town
to any appreciable extent. without an
effort ; and 80 far as Custer is concerned,
ifthere has been even the most remote
symptom Of an effort exerted by her
atizens in the interest Of a more rapid
progress, II has wholly escaped our not
ice. Unlike Hot Springs, where boom
OF stupendous magnitude has been in
progress for the past three months,
Custer has, yet, no railroad influence
operating in her interest, there fore she
may be said to be drifting listlessly and
aimlessly along upon sea of chancery
With no body at the helm. This being
the precise situation, as near as words
can describe it, how intensely foolish
the question "Why don't Custer boom ?"
When, in the near future, the b. & NJ.
shall extend her line to safe compet-
ing point with the Elkhorn when that
potent corporation may WELD their
mighty influence in Clusters behalf, and
thereby reap benefit, which at present
would only result in beneftting COM
peting line, then may We reasonably ex-
pect revival Of prosperity, such as
Custer has never experienced in her his
tory. All that is required to insure
Custer's prosperity is an earnest CO.
operative effort with the b. & NJ. when
the time comes, and the question, "why
don't she boom" will no longer be heard,
but on the contrary, great surprise, and
lively satisfaction will be expressed by
all, at the rapid advancement which
such joint effort will bring about. Will
Custer citizens do their part in laboring
for the interests Of the place? Echo an
swers, will they?

Rapid Deluged.

Rapid City was visited on last Sunday
evening by rain storm Of greater pro-
portions, and more destructive in its re-
suits than has ever before been ex-
perienced in the history Of the town.
Rain fell in torrents. coursing its way
down the adjacent hillsides in vast vol
umes, creating a mighty deluge in the
city, which for time threatened the de
struction of the place. Easements in
all parts of the city were soon inundat-
ed, at the Hotel Harney the entire
night was consumed in pumping out the
water from the basement which threat
ened serious damage to the foundation
of the building. The town was left in
darkness by the washout at the electric
light plant where a loss of several
thousand dollars was sustained. Bridges
in the surrounding country were all
washed away, and about three hundaed
yards of the Elkhorn railroad track
picked up and swung around at right
angles with the main track. In the
adjoining country serious damage to
crops is reported by the heavy hail
which accompanied the rain. The
storm lasted about one hour during
which time the rain fall, as reported by
Signal Officer harrington, was l. IL in
ches an amount rarely known to have
fallen in so short a time. The aggregate
loss incurred by the storm is difficult to
determine, and can not yet be even ap'
proximately estimated, but it is entire.
ly safe to say that it will exceed, by far
that of any storm ever known in the
region where it occurred.

Prohibition.

Our readers will doubtless remember
the position taken by the CHRONICLE
prior to the adoption of the prohibitory
amendment to our state constitution,
which was in opposition TO its adoption
upon the grounds of the apparent Ger
tainty of its failure TO secure the results
desired by its advocates in the direction
of promoting temperance in the state. A
practical test of this constitutional pro-
vision, which went into effect on the
first day of May, has only served to con-
firm our well settled opinions as given
through the columns of this paper dur
ing the late campaign. Let US review
the situation at this place. which doubt
less does not differ materially with other
towns and cities in the state. 1t is a
fact, which cannot be successfully con-
tradicted, that the prohibitory law has
been violated in Custer every day since
it went into effect and that the measure
Of drunkenness, as shown by the number
of arrests made from this cause, has been
increased rather than diminished AS
a further proof of the absolute failure of
the law as a prohibitory measure, we
cite our readers to the fact Of there hav-
ing been four arrests for drunkenness
made in Custer before the opening of
original package houses, to every one
made since. which would seem to indi-
cate conclusiyely that so far as this place
is concerned, the prohibitory enactment
has tendency to stimulate, rather
than suppress the evil which the law
was intended to abolish.
1t is unnecessary to repeat what we
have previously declared, that we do
not uphold the liquor traffic, but on the
contrary advocate temperance principles,
and that our opposition to state pr O.
hibitory law is based upon the one ap-
parent and incontrovertible fact, that it
fails to prohibit, and consequently only
serves, to aggravate the disease it seeks
to cure.
1t is with no feeling of self graduation
that the CHRONICLE refers to the fact oi
having SO closely predicted the failure
of the prohibitory law in this state, as it
would have hailed with immeasurable
satisfaction its success. in which event
it would to day have been equally
ready to admit its error. It's failure to
reach the end desired is no surprise to
those who have noted the effect oi
similar laws in other states, and when
the fact is considered that this law, 90
stringent and iron clad in its character
with organized leagues in every county
pledged to its enforcement. has signally
failed Of its object, as shown by the open
sale Of whiskey, IN any desired quantity
in towns where these leagues are know
to exist, notably at Deadwood, who may
with any degree Of consistency or shad
ow of reason, say that any prohibitory
law within the power Of our state legis-
lature to enact, could be effective in the
suppression Of the evils arising from ths
liquor traffic. We adhere more firmly
than ever to our former well grounded
opinion, that anything short ofa nation
al prohibitory law is. and will ever be
practically, and to all intents and pur
poses, delusion and snare.

Round Over.

William Kleeman, charged with at
tempting to poison his brother Frank, a
few weeks ago in Pennington county
had preliminary hearing before Judge
Wallace at Rapid City, few days ago,
and was bound over to the grand jury
under $500, bonds. The Journal says
The testimony at the hearing was in
substance that the defendant and his
brother haye not been on good terms
for several years, the defendant accord
ing to the testimony having several
times threatened his brothers life. On
June % the meat in the cellar at the
ranch of Frank Kleeman was poisoned
with strychnine. Frank was absent at
the time and only his hired man and
brother were at the ranch. The for
mer, according to his testimony, narrow
ly escaped being poisoned. When
Frank returned he ate some Of the meat
and nearly died from the effects. From
the hearing yesterday it looks bad for
William Kleeman, although the testi-
mony so far brought forward Is purely
circumstantial, and at the trial entirely
new facts may be developed.

Original Package Decision.

The Rapid City Journal of the 10th
inst. gives the following decision OF
Judge Nowlin, in case ofspecial interest
to Custer readers:
The case of J. p. Horgan, arrested un-
der the prohibitory law of South Dako ota,
came up before Judge Nowlin yesterday
afternoon. Horgan was arrested in
Custer and had hearing before Justice
Hitch, who bound him over to appear
before the grand jury. The testimony
at the hearing was reduced to writing and
the matter brought before Judge Nowlin
who on July 81 granted writ of habeas

was presented to the court by w. C..
Coad, Horgar's attorney, States At
torney Reynolds, of Custer county, ap-
pearing for the sheriff Of Custer county
in the habeas corpus proceedings
The court on the testimony presented
discharged the defendant from custody,
holding that his imprisonment was
illegal because the complaint sworn out
before the justice was insufficient, and
on the further ground that no private
citizen can according to law, commence
proceedings under the prohibitory law
of this state until the matter has been
brought to the attention of the states
attorney Of the county in which the Of
fence is supposed to have been commit
ed and he has refused to commence pro-
secution
The above decision of Judge Nowlin
on the above point is an interesting one
for the reason that prosecutions have
been commenced by private citizens in
several counties of the state. In the
course OF the argument yesterday, while
not including it formally in his decision,
Judge Nowlin also passed on another
interesting feature of the original pack.

sensible talk, and unquestionably the
best move that could be made, but the
Pioneer is quite correct in the view that
1t is impossible, SO long as there are so
many who demand personal and party
organs. 1t is safe presumption that
there will be no change in this direc-
tion and that the world will continue TO
wag right along as usual.

The public Is wonderfully exercised
over the late electrocution Of Kemnler,
who it is feared might have feis the
electric shock, and thereby experienced
sensation Of pain. 1t would seem that
the American people are becoming ex-
ceedingly sympathetic toward capital
criminals, and that any method of exe-
cution which is attended with pain, is
considered barbarous and outrageous In
the extreme. The cold fact Of Kemmler
haying failed to chose apainless method
of destroying his victim Is utterly over
looked. Kemmler was murderer,
doomed to death his sentence was ex-
ecuted by means Of electricity, and
death ensned, which was the result
sought to be obtained. Whether it was
painless or not is matter of so little i'm
portance as to be unworthy of mention.
Freeman Knowles, the irrepressible
agitator Of the Tilford Times, has re-
Gently been prospecting for a building at
Deadwood, where he proposes to re-
move his printing plant, preparatory
to the publication Of q daily in the in
terest Of the independent movement.
So says tho peadwood Times. The
Pioneer speaks discouragingly of the en-
terprise, predicting failure financial
ly, and says. "If the residents of Dead
wood, those interested in building city
would cease to let politics interfere with
business, or get awav with their common
sense. there would be no necessity for
any party organ. but the Pioneer and
Times could consolidate and make o
newspaper that would be all that its
name would Indicate" which ispretty
