Died.


At his residence in this city, on Thurs
day, the 18th inst, James Craig Sanders,
in the 63rd year of his age.
An obituary, which was not received
in time for publication in this issue,
will appear next week.
In this city, at 2 o'clock on Thursday
morning, the 25th inst. Of lung fever,
Washington Ward, aged 80 years and s
months.
The deceased WIS born in Tennessee
where he remained during his child
hood, removing with his parents to
Evansville, Indiana, at a tender age,
where his boyhoods days were spent.
He afterwards removed to St. Louis
where he resided until 1876, when he
came to the Black Hills, locating for a
time at Deadwood, and later on IN 1879,
in this city, where he engaged IN the
restaurant business with marked finan
cial success. He was a man of p%ronounc-
ed enterprise and energy, and notwith
standing the fact of his being of African
descent, he was possessed of business
ability of rare order. 1t may be justly
said of him that he was a good citizen,
a kind and affectionate husband, and
that he enjoyed the respect of all his ac-
quain.ances. He leaves a wife and
three children, with whom this entire
community unite, in mourning his sad
demise.
Funeral services were held at the NJ.
e. Church on Thursday afternoon, after
which the remains were consigned to
peaceful rest at the Custer Cemetery.
In this city, on Monday, the end inst,
of tonsilites, Dora, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Baty, in the Sth year of
her age.
The death of little Dora, the idol of
her parents, loved and admired by all
for her kind and amiable disposition,
brings positive sorrow to many hearts
in this place, where she was born, and
lived during the brief period of her
mortal existence. Her demise is especi-
ally sad at this time, engendering an
atmosphere of gloomy sadness. which is
heightened and intensified by its oc-
currence on the eve of the holiday
season, to which the juvenile mind looks
forward to with such inexpressible
anxiety, ard joyous expectation. Words
are too feeble TO portray the intensity
of a mothers anguish when the silen
messenger enters the sacred portals of
her home, and takes away the dear one
in which is centered the fondest affec-
ton of her heart, hence let us draw the
veil Of silence, rather than attempt to
paint a sorrow which words are made
quate to express. The community will
unite with the grief stricken parents in
sorrowing oyer the great loss they have
been called upon to sustain.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev J. V. Willis, at the home of the
deceased. at . o'clock p. m, on Tuesday,
after which the burial took place at the
Custer cemetery.

Senator Ingalls, is learning which way
the wind is blowing, for last week he
protested against the extravaganza dis
PLAYED in congress in making 50 many
appropriations for public buildings.
we predict that within three months
Mr.. ingalls, will be advocating radical
reform in the tariff laws; that ne will
be fighting trusts and monopoiies; that
ne will be favoring the Australian bal
lot system, and that he will favor the
free coinage of silver. He is candi-
date for reelection, and he knows that
he cannot succeed unless he receives
the support of the allisnre. He is
trimmer, and his action in the senate IN
relation to public building appropria-
tions is an indication of what he has in

Bismarck has at last resigned. The
Young emperor has repeatedly encroach-
ed upon the prerogatlves of the chan
cellor, but recent appointment by the
emperor was a little too much. The
change may not affect the peace of the
country, but it ought to put the Ger
man people to thinking. The idea OF
an intelligent people being subject to
the whims of a young man, with wide
streak of insanity in his ancestry, Is sc
repulsive to Americans, that we con
