Mr.. Porter, census enumeration for this
district, completed his work on Saturday
of last week, having been granted adj
ditional time to finish a work which was
wholly impossible to complete in the
allotted time of thirty days. 1t is un-
fortunate that under the law he is re-
stricted from giving any information
relative to ~ population, etc, but we
deem it safe to assume, from the time
required to count our noses, and from
other sources, that the population OF
this city will not fall short of 500, and
that the aggregate of the district will
reach 1000.

The Rapid papers should have stated
in connection with their mention Of the
defeat of the Custer ball club at Hill
City on the 4th, by the club Of that place,
that only three members of the Custer
club took part in the game, the places of
the balance being supplied by selection
from the number Of Custer visitors who
happend to be present. The Custer
nine has never been defeated by any
club, nor is there any reasonable
grounds upon which to base the con
clusion that they will be for years to
come.

Rapid City is, for a time, doomed to
comparative darkness, all the electric
street lamps, save one, having been dis
connected from the circuit on account OF
the company having refused the city's
offer of ten dollars per month per lamp,
twelve dollars being the amount asked
by the company. The one lamp now in
use is kept burning at the expense Of the
citizens residing in the locality in which
it is located. The Journal consoles its
readers by a reference to the fact that
there will be moonlight for a few nights
at least, during which time the lamps
will not be greatly missed.

Of Mr.. and Mrs. George Widrig.
IN MEMoRIAM.
Even though OF age so tender,
He seemed 10 weary OF our earth;
Seemed 10 long for something higher
Something of a celestial birth.
Early his little feet grew tired,
He paused and faltered by the way
But his steps were to frail too longer
In LIES dear, rugged paths to stray.
Oh how fair he looked, and peaceful,
In untroabled slumber lying;
Not a trace OF sorrow fingered,
Or aught TO tell Of pain In dying.
The wee hands were folded lightly,
And a few sweet flowers were pressed
In the dainty, bundled fingers,
Close 10 the little heart at rest.
Alasl That earth so soon should cover
The little form Of one so dear TO father and "
mother;
Oh, why so quickly did the Giyer
Again his gracious gift recall?
But list. now comes a spirit whisper,
IT'S saying, 'God, In mercy wise,
Chose not TO longer leave in bondage
A soul so ft for Paradise.
