Secretsry's Report.

B.
TO the directors and stockholders OF
the Union Publishing company,
Gentlemen:
One year ago was placed in chargs
of the BLACK HILLS UNION. But q linz
tied portion OF the stock had been
placed and no means were placed at my
command. From lack OF experience in
the business it has been necessary to
employ considerable help which has
added much to the expense Of the office
and yet no levy has been made upon the
stockholders, the business being SELL
pporting from the start.
The aim OF the lncorporators was to
place the greater portion OF the stock
among the farmers. This has been frus-
trated the past season by failure OF
erops and as result little m6; e than
one-half the stock is still unplaced. .
This has necessitated a loan which has
been made at twelve per cent. With
fair crops this coming year we believe
that all stock can be readily placed.
We have employed no regular canvas
sers and yet the books OF the Office
show that the list has more than thrlb

"ln regard to my little daughter, whose life
was saved, as we believe, by Hoods Sarsaparilla,
would say that before she was six months old
scrofula sores began to appear on different parts
of her body, and in a short time she bad running
sores. Two physicians were called but they gave
us no hope. One of them advised the amputation
Of one Of her fingers, to which we refused ascent.
Our attention was called to Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and we began giving it to her. A marked i'm
proyement was noticed after she had taken only
one bottle, and bya continued use OF 1t her re-
covery was complete. And she is now, being
seven years old, strong and healthy. The other

The choctaw ldsar of the Hereafter

The ChoctaW td5ar of the Hereafter.
From their earliest tradctions the Choc-
taws have been taught to believe in life
after they leave this world. They believe
that the spirit, the moment it leaves the
body. is compelled to travel long distance
to the west, until it arrives at an immense
chasm, at the bottom of which flows very
rapid, rocky and dangerous stream. This
terrible gorge, which is surrounded on every
side by great mountains, the soul has to
cross on "long and slippery pine log with
the bark peeled Off" the only passage to the
HAPPY hunting grounds" which lie beyond
the dangerous bridge. On the bank of the
stream, just on the other end of the log, there
always stand six persons. who have reached
the HAPPY hunting grounds" and who
throw sharp rocks at whoever attempts to
cross the treacherous log the moment the
middle of it Is reached. Those who have
lived properly. according to the Indian idea
OF morals, have no trouble In crossing the
log; the stones fall harmlessly from them,
and they reach the "happy hunting grounds"
where there is perpetual day, without diff
Guilty. There the trees are ever green, the
sky cloudlesS and the breeZes always gently
blowing: there, too, continuous feast and
dance are going on; the people never grow
old, but live forever and revel in perpetual
youth. The. wicked, when they attempt TO
cross the dangerous bridge, can see the
stones which are thrown at them, and In try
ing to avoid them they fall from the giddy
height into the awful gorge thousands Of
feet below the slippery log, where a rushing.
sharp rocks, filed with dead fish aud animals
which are continually brought around to the
same place by the eddies and whirlpools.
There all the trees are dead, the waters in
repulsivelooking reptiles; the dead are ever
hungry, but have nothing to eat; are always
sick but never die. There is no sun, and the
wicked are Constantly climbing up BY
thousands on the sides of high rock, from
which they can overlook the beautiful
