AFTER A MINING COMPANY.

Uncle Sans Agents After the Home-State
Concern in the Black HiTls-Charged
With Taking Timber Against the Gov
ernment Rules-No Indian Scare.
George C. Smith, special agent of the
Government in the land department and
located in the Black Hills, was at the Union
depot last evening. He is colored man
from Mississippi, and was conspicuous on
account of the fine astrakhan overcoat he
wore. Mr.. Smith had been called to Wash
ington BY the Commissioner to furnish in
formation about the Home-State Mining
Company, of which Senator Hearst is
President. He has been engaged for
the last eight months investigating the
operations of this gigantic concern. He
finds they have cut down about 200 square
miles of timber belonging to Uncle Sam,
and used it in their mines. As soon as the
loss can be determined the Land Com
missioner will bring suit to recover. The
Government gave the company.permission to
cut down trees for mining purposes, but
nothing under eight inches was to have
been touched. Mr.. Smith claims that this
rule was violated.
"There are from 1000, 900 to 5000, 600
acres of land in my district yet to be taken
up" he said. 1.-THE climate is too dry, and
settlers 60 by the country. The people are
putting down arteslan wells and are meet
ing with some success.
"How about the Indian scare?"
1.-THE newspaper reports have been exag-
gerated. The Sioux and Cheyenne tribes,
with Sitting Bull. live on reservation SO
miles from me. They are not thinking of
going on the war path, and the settlers in
the neighborhood are not frightened. The
Indians hate to be robbed of their cattle,
and they make all sorts of threats when
the whites steal from them"

Purchasing a PIano.

always manage to get such piano?
Often does the purchaser get misled into
getting an inferior instrument where the
case shows resplendant, but where the in.
terror, the action, the most important part
is very imperfect, gets loose, rattles, and
becomes absolutely worthless in short time
Such pianos are not found at the old and

instruments. such as have built up solid, i'm.

Rer. s. W. WcCorEIe. he pursued post
graduate course at Lane Theological Semin-
ary, Cincinnati. After four years pastor
ate at Springfield, o., ne went to Ironton,
where ne spent three years as pastor of the
First Congregational Church.
When Mr.. Hills resigned a unanimous
call was extended to Mr.. McCorkle, and it
was accepted two weeks ago. Daring his
stay at Ironton he received 100 members
into his church, and was instrumental in
having built an elegant parsonage. There
is no parsonage attached to the Allegheny
church, and for the present the new pastor
and his wife-they have no children-are
stopping with friends. The membership of
the First Church is $50.
There was large congregation present at
the services yesterday morning, and at its
conclusion Rev. Mr. McCorkle baptized three
children. Before the sermon the new nastor
addressed his audience in the following
words:
THE WEIGHT OF RESPONSIBILITY.
do not hesitate to say that the sense of re-
sponsibility which feel at this moment is SO
great as to be oppressive. When Paul said to
the Cor1nthian Church: II was with Won in
weakness and fear and much trembling" he
simply uttered the genuine experience of a day
gospel minister. No man with any true reaIiza
tion of what 1t means can enter upon such
sacred work and service without such feeling
no matter what may be his intellectual and
other qualifications. The reason is, it is Gods
work. The minister's hand takes hold of
humanity and divinity. His work and words
have eternal consequence His leadership 10
