There is very little demand for odd

sales show that the piano il the great
favorite, next the violin, next the guitar
and next the flute. A great many ladies
took up the mandolin some time ago,
but the craze is almost completely over.

slow but steady sale. The cornet has
lost its popularity, and nobody ever
thinks Of buying u French horn nova

eral run of orchestral goods are sold
almost wholly to professionals, although
quite number of Chicago ladies have
bought zylophoncs lately The ocarina

of them are sold. chiefly to people who
know nothing about music. The various

In certain parts of the Alps, where the
people live scattered about as shepherds,
there prevails beautiful and touching
custom, which softens somewhat the
dreary loneliness of their solitary life.
Just as the sun leaves the valleys, and
his last rays family gild the snow capped
SUBMITS of the mountains, the shepherd
whose hut is situated ON the highest peak
takes his Alpine horn, and with trumpet
voice cries, Praise the Lord" Instantly
all the other shepherds, standing at the
thresholds of their cabins, repeat, one
after the other, the same appeal, until the
echo resounds far and wide, from rock
to rock and deep to deep, Praise the
Lord" 4 solemn silence succeeds the
last notes as they die away, and each
shepherd kneels, bareheaded, in deepest
reverence and prayer. Later on, when
the mantle of night completely onvelops
the mountains, once more the horn is
heard to resound with the words Good
night" and the shepherds peacefully re-
tire to their solitary aboles to rest from
the labors Of the day,

But in the latter part Of the Fifteenth
century there was sudden and violent
change, and shoes became as short and
broad and stumpy toed as they had pre-.
viously been long and narrow and snout-
ed. The sumptuary laws which had
forbidden long toes TO all but the rich
and noble were supplemented by new
ones, forbidding shoes of extreme breadth
and shortness to any but these favored
classes.
The next century brought high heeled
shoes, and along with them the ''cho-
pines" which as instruments of torture
must have out outdone everything else
which was ever invented for womans
deforming. They were brought to Eng
land from Venice, and what Wilderness
Of general popularity they failed to
achieve they made amends for in in
dividual height. The nobler lady's
rank the higher she wore her chopines,
and the more impossible it became for
her TO take step alone. The lady who
put chopines under her feet looked very
much taller when she stood up, but If
she attempted to stand or walk alone
she quickly changed froip tall to long
The chopines didn't last long, but the
high heels that came in at the same time
were received with delight, and grew
higher and higher until little more
than century ago, when French fash
ions in England fell into sudden dis
favor and high heels went out with n
snap. But the low heeled era lasted
only about ten years, and ever since then
the battle between the two has been
waged and has rested not, with some
times one the victor and sometimes the
other. Just now 1t looks to me rs If the
high heels were getting just little the
worst of it.

Sudden Death.

Word was brought into the city about
seven o'clock Sunday evening that a
man was lying dead about six miles out
on the Hill City road The person who
brought the information could give no
particulars, not having examined the
body. Several drove out to where the
body lay about half past eight On
searching the pockets it was found the
body was that Of John @. Stevens, Il
rancher living on Elk creek, about four
miles from Spring valley. In his pockets
| were found a memorandum book. Jack
knife, spectacle case, a silver watch with
| the crystal broken but still going, and
$5S.35. He was on his way to Hill City
with q load OF vegetables. Those who
examined the body say there was an
electric belt around the waist aud the
| right side OF the body was in burnt
and cooked condition, no bones broken
| and no other bruises. The jury, con
! sisting OF John Riley, Dave Ferguson
, and Dave Robinson, rendered the follow
ing verdict:
"At an inquest held in Rapid City,
| South Dakota on the body OF John 9.
Stevens, we, the jury, find to the best
| Of our knowledge and belief and alter
\ viewing the body and a thorough exam
ination thereof, that the said John Q.
Stevens came to his death by IL stroke
| OF lightning between the hours OF two
! and four o'clock on Sunday, June %,
1890, was at the time taking q load OF
freight to Hill City and that his dead
body was found one mile west OF the
Big-or Red hill about six miles from
| Rapid City"
All of Mr.. Stevens family but one
daughter are dead. Monday the body
was taken to Spring valley, where the
funeral took place last Tuesday. Mr..
Stevens was well known all through the
upper Hills

the horses we're feeding on the ris-
ing ground north and west of the
holes and all hands were at dinner
when the cry OF Indians was raised.
Mr.. Hammerquest had number of
brooms in one OF the wagons and at the
cry one OF the party grabbed u broom
(for a gun) and rushed to the horses.
The scare came from a bunch Of ante
lope that were filing over one of the dis
tant hills, The brave gunner, with u
broom, returned to camp trying to hide
the weapon behind him. This gentleman
afterward became deputy sheriff of Law
renee county. Charles Hams horse
ranch occupies much territory in the
lower valley. His house and barns with
their fresh coats OF paint, look as
though recently removed from some
city. Mr.. Ham evidently believes that
country. In passing through his fields
evident coed breeding OF his mares.
Mr.. Fred Goodrich; OF sheep fame, Occur
pies a comfortable dwelling on the first
bench from the creek. His quantity OF
sheep and other stock necessitate large
barns and sheds with which he seems
well supplied. We were not SO fortunate
as to find Mr.. Goodrich at home and
consequently did not inspect his flocks,
which we hope to do at some futureday.
Mr.. Goodrich, ST., is located on the
table q few miles north of his son, and
like his son has buildings Chat would do
credit to an eastern state. Shutdown
found us at c. M. Grifith's, where we
were very comfortably provided for.
Mr.. Griffith has been in the Hills about
five years, bringing in small bunch OF
mares; these were OF good stock and his
main revenue has been from them. This
year he has sold one two-year-old colt
for 5000, one for 81 SO and one for S125,
which is rather better than the cattle
business. Mr.. Griffith has 800 acres Of
fine rolling ground on this divide. A
short distance east and we reach the
home OF Jabez Brandham and found in
him an old subscriber OF The UNION.
He has 16O acres OF very choice land
and one OF the best gardens we noticed.
The house and gardens were surrounded
with young cottonwoods that were set
out on Arbor day and have already
made growth OF seven or eight inches
Mr.. Brandham has twenty acres of as
fine wheat as we saw anywhere and
about the same number OF acres of corn.
A small patch OF alfalfa sowed this
spring among oats is already six inches
high. Many other fine ranches were seen
on this trip, but the little time devoted
to the trip prevented IL more careful in
spection. In conclusion we must say
that while the valleys are good and under
irrigation as Rapid largely is, they will
produce anything, yet in a dry season
without irrigation the divides are ahead
That stretch OF country known as the
Iowa settlement is hard to beat, both in
the lay of the ground, the quality OF the
soil and the class OF people who inhablt
it. And best OF all for those who are
seeking for homes here, there is much OF
this table land, particularly between
Box Elder and Elk creeks, yet untaken.

Almost too dry and hot to say any
thing today. We need rain.
Wheat is heading pretty close to the
ground. Unless good shower comes
to the rescue very soon. we can only look
for a short crop of wheat.
The prairie schooner still continues to
sail, but the course is east as well as
west in about equal numbers Think
the reservation must be settling up quite
rapidly now from the number headed
thitherward.
We learn that the good people OF Box
Elder will join in a picnic on the Fourth
similar to the one held last year, to be
held at the grove at the south end of
Fred Holcomb's ranch. All are invited
to bring their baskets and participate
in the celebration OF the day The pro-
gram we understand is to consist OF u
few appropriate, patriotic glecs, with
some short eXtemporaneous addresses
by the citizens. Have not learned that
there will be any band, either brass or
martial, present on the occasion, but we
anticipate that the ever essential fire
cracker will be present in plentious
quantities. STAR GAzER.
