SIDNEY, o.

As usual, The True Northerner leads in improve
ments and this time II is addition to the Office of
of the handiest machines we ever put in. The
cut at the head of the article gives very clear idea
of the kind ever broght TO Van Buren, county. II is
just effective it is neat and pretty. This little
machine occupies but AKA feet of floor space, and
the power it requires is not preceptible. few
rounds of ordinary Irvine on the main shaft forms
the pulley and it folds and delivers large sheet
at the rate of twenty to the minute. 1t does away
with the loss of several hours of time and back
breaking work. When the press has printed the
edition the folder has also completed its work and
delivered its crisp, neatly folded sheets to the mail
ing desks. 1t fold four folds and can be changed to
any size of sheet in a moment. Supplements OF full
sheets be folded in the original sheet inst as
easily the single sheet and think 1t is the ouy
Folder now made that will do this. As we had never
seen Folder before, we anticipated some trouble
but the inventors directions we're so clear and ex-
plict that fears took wings, and it was running
and delivering sheets before had time 10 become
ANXIOUS. IL is a haud-feed machine and requires no
labor worth mentioning. Tho gratifying increase to
our subscription list during the year compelled addi-
tiona help OF the purchase of a Folder and we viii
never regret that chose the latter. Thirty papers
per minute can be run as easily as twenty, but we
prefer to both press and folder precisely the
same rate Of speed.
Our friends are cordially invited to come and sec

THE WINTER TERMINUS.

That Custer City is to be the winter
terminus of the Black Hills branch of
the B. & M. railroad now appears prob
able. This conclusion is based upon the
expressed opinion Of large number of
railroad contractors who have examined
the route north from this place, which
they do not hesitate to say can not be
completed during the present year. As
may be readily understood, rock work
will be the rule along the line north Of
this place, which is necessarily very
tedious in its operation, and can not be
pushed as earth work may be by in
creasing the force. OF this character Of
work there are three tunnels having an
aggregate length of nearly six hundred
feet, besides large number Of cuts, OF
which four of the longest have an ag-
gregate length Of $3.50 feet and depth
at the deepest point Of from twenty-four
to eighty-fve feet The construction OF
the bridges on the route, Of which there
will be. about fifty in number, varying
in length from one to thirteen spans, or
from sixteen to two hundred and eight
feet, aggregating q length of about four
thousand feet, will also involve much
labor, but need not necessarily delay
the completion Of the road beyond

CITY ELECTION.

The annual election of city officers oc-
ours on Monday, and nothing in the
way of primary has been held, nor has
there been any arrangements made, so
far as we can learn, for preparing q
ticket. At no time in the past has there
been 30 little apparent concern as to
who should fill our city Offices, and sure
ly at no time in the history of the place
has this matter been OF such vital i'm.
portance to our citizens. There will be
many important matters for the board
of trustees to look after during the COM
ing year, and it would seem a wise
proceeding on the part of our citizens to
get together as early as possible and
prepare ticket upon which should be
placed men who are competent to dis
charge the official duties involved. and
who have the best interests of the city
at heart. 1t is devoutly to be hoped
that our citizens will dismiss the subject
of railroads from their minds long en-
ough to attend to the momentous matter
referred to. Why not meet tonight?

A good joke is related at the expense
of a modest young Dakota newspaper
man, which is going the rounds simply
credited to "Ex." 1t is to the effect
that the pusher of u pencil went out
to report party the other evening
where the home had recently been
blessed with new baby. Accompani-
ed by his best girl he met the hostess
at the door and after the usual saluta-
ton asked after the baby's health.
The lady, who was quite deaf and suf-
fering with the grip, thought he was
asking about her cold, and told him
that though she usually had one every
winter, this is the worst one she ever
had it kept her awake nights a good
deal at first an confined her to her bed.
Then noticing that the scribe was get
ting pale and nervous she said she
could tell by his looks he was going to
have one just like hers, and asked him
to 60 in and sit down. The paper was
out as usual the next week but the
local editor has quit inquiring about
babies.

A 6euslble View.

Senator Pettigrew's tariff views, as In
dicated in recent interview are sound
and sensible. He says: II can state
my ideas on the tariff question very
briefly. l want prohibitory tariff.
want prohibitory tariff ON each and
every article produced in this country.
! claim that this is but justice to the
people OF every section Of the union, and
the tariff tinkers should carefully note
it. All the articles we cannot produce
in this country want on the free list.
A duty should be put on all agricultur-
al products, for other countries can
ship some of the products of the soil
to eastern markets by water cheaper
than they can be raised in the Dakotas.
Nebraskas and other western states, and
shipped east by rail. am in favor ofre-
pealing the tariff on sugar, but want
to see stiff duty on beet sugar. This
is something We can raise and mann
facture in this country, and / want to
say to you that we are going to raise it,
too. The climate of South Dakota is just
right for beet culture. The soil Is the
richest on earth. Why, we can give
employment to 2O0, 900 people in the Mis-
souri, valley il this industry is started
and worked rs it should be. Then
want high duty put on tin, and my
constituents demand it. In the Black
Hills country we can produce enough
tin to supply the United States without
any difficulty. In order to do this, how
ever, we have got to have a high tariff
on tin, for We have to pay laborers
$3.50 per day in the Black Hills coun-
try. while in the countries where the
greater part ofit il now manufactured
they secure Coolies to do the same iden-
tical work for 40 cents per day. II We
can get the right duty on tin we can
give 100000 men employment in the
Black Hills country. These are my
sentiments in NUTSHELL"

the contract time; but with the
vast amount of rock work to be per-
formed, which, it is believed, cannot be
completed during the present year, Gus
ter will, in all probability be the ter
minus of the road until the summer OF
1891, or for period of about one year.
1t would be an unspeakable pleasure to
be placed in immediate railroad con-
nection with the northern metropolis,
but we accept the situation and bow to
the inevitable with our usual patient
resignation and characteristic grace.

Judge Burns has determined that un
der the law it will be impossible to issue
druggists licenses except upon thirty
days notice, to be given after May lst.
This is undoubtedly contrary to the
intention of the legislature, but no
other construction than the one arrived
at by the judge can be had under the
unfortunate language of the act. Ac-
cordingly after the law goes into effect
on May lst, petitions then before tn e
court will be filed, and hearings set as
follows, viz 4: Speartish and White

Assessor Sparks was in receipt yester.
day, ofa telegram from Commissioner
OF immigration Hagerty to the effect
that the Dakota legislature had made
no appropriation for blanks, etc., for
the taking Of the state census and stat.
tics and per consequence no state cen,
sus and statistics will be taken this yea,
by the assessors Of the various counties oI
South Dakota. This certainly has an
appearance Of false economy on the
part Of our law makers. Times

Tough on Tntord.

Hon. Jack Hale came up Tuesday to
hunt sympathy. Tilford is busted
wide open, and no one feels it worse
than the mayor. He says he is making
arrangements to knock In oil the fronts
of the buildings and use them for sheep
pens, and the rams have the upper
story All but few property owners
In Tilford take it philosophically how
ever, and will try TO hold their trade
anyway. Piedmont, the new station
below is located on the Spring Valley
ranch, owned by Capt. Gardner. The
place was purchased by L. w. Martin
aud Grier Of the Hornestake road. The
narrow guage comes in almost at the
house, and the granary was moved a
day or two ago to make room for tracks.
1t is understood that Gardner, Martin
and Grier each hold third interest i'm
the new townsite.
Sunday last some of the Spring Val
ley young men, In the exuberance OF
their joy, went up to Tinford and SOW
cd oats In the streets. They were
chased ont OF town just in time to avoid
. shower Of eggs II not rougher treat
ment The Record hears that several
Tilford institutions are making prepara-
tons to move down 10 the new town.

than y mere transfer point, will pro-
badly draw more heavily on the trade
which now goes 10 Rapid than at any
other point--Sturgis Record.

will be advisable for you to give true

to the best of his or her knowledge, to

1t was wholly unnecessary for the
Pilot man to inform us that he rarely
reads the CHRONICLE, as the Pilot itself
affords ample evidence of the fact Of his
giving little attention to reading any Of
his exchanges. We always read the

that paper will readily understand that
its reading only involves an insignificant
margin Of our valuable time.

The nom de plumes of the various
cities of the Black Hills are many and
striking. Buffalo Gap is known as the
"Stone City,; Custer, the "The Tin

City,; Deadwood, the Denver Of the
Hills" There is another town, not yet
assigned an applicable nom de plume,
and that is Minnesota. We have named
it. We call it the "Venice of the Hills" !"

strike?-Advertiser.

The editors of South Dakota have
long been discussing whittier they go
for their annual excursion. Some
would like to visit New Orleans, some
favor going east and some TO the Pacific
coast, and others talk of revisiting the
Yellowstone Park and others to the
Niagara Falls and good many have
suggested Black Hills in South Dakota.
We do not care which and will leave
it to our better half to say where We
GO. We hope that it will be either the
Niagara Falls or the Black Hills and We
believe that majority of brothers and
wives or sweethearts prefer the Hills
for a change. Clark Co. Republican.
