DEHI APFD OFF

SYRACUSE, y. Y, Oct. 13.-The engage
ment of Miss Winnie Davas, ''the daughter
of the Confederacy," TO Mr.. Alfred WIKI
inson, of this city, which was announced
less than six months ago, which created so
great a surprise in all parts ofthe country,
has been broken. Intimate friends here Of
Miss Davis authorize this statement to-
night. They assign as the cause the i'll
health of the young lady Miss Davis
has not been in good health for some
time, and she went abroad for the purpose
of recruiting her strength. Her trip was
beneficial but did not restore her fully to
health. Her mother and her intimate
friends felt that under these circumstances
il would be best that the engagement
should be broken, and this step was reluct-
antly taken by Miss Davis On the other
hand some of Mr.. Wilkinson's friends are
of the opinion that the recent reverses of
his family, his modest income and the still
more recent burning of the old homestead
had some weight in shaping Miss Nlnnies
decision.
Mr.. Wilkinson has had nothing TO say,
even to his most intimate friends, and con
ducts himself admirably under the some
what trying ordeal. He refuses TO be in
terviewcd on the subject, and seems much
immersed in business. The statement Is
made in local paper that some time ago
"A prominent gentleman of this city re-
ceiyed a request from the south for infor-
nation concerning Mr.. Wilkinson. The
failure of the Wilkinson family was par
ticularly inquired into. This was thought
by some to be quite significant at the time.

Dakota was all right, but for two Da-
kotas a mistake. We are paying the
penalty of too much demagogy. There
was no sense in dividing Dakota.
Primarily Office seekers and capital as
pirants created the sentiment for divi-
sion. The national republican con-
vention injected the two-state idea into
its platform and the election of Harri-
son clinched it. Territorial area was
confounded with population. Party
necessities were substituted for the good
of the people. Instead OF one respectable
state we are two poor ones. Instead Of
one legislature we have two" This is
northern sentiment and it evokes no
southern sympathy. South Dakota is in
a happy frame of mind over the division
and is better and better satisfied with
the situation as time goes on. OF the
two Dakotas there may be one poor
state, but it does not lie south Of the
seventh standard. Through division
we were relieved Of something more
than geographical area. The politicsl

Worlds FAIR Devices.

All sorts of marvellous devices are be-
ing suggested in connection with the Chi
cago fair, which are of interest chiefly
as showing that the imagination and in
ventive spirit of the country are being
remarkably quickened, and that the
coming exhibition will be far in ad-
vance of anything the world has seen
in mechanical contrivances. There is
very general suggestion of structure
that shall eclipse the Eiffcl tower in ell
ovation and novelties. Anything in
that direction will be more or less sug-
gestive Of the Paris structure, but that
is not an objection as as it is not an i'm
itation. Electricity will be one of the
most conspicuous features in the ex-
hibition, very marked advances in its
utilization having been made even
since the Paris show, and Edison's ex-
hibit was one OF the great attractions
there. 1t is intimated that some won.

Fictitious Booming.

The fact has now become patent that
in many instances unwarranted boon1s
have been the result of fictitious adver-
tising on the part of real estate gamblers,
who have by this means succeeded in
feathering their nests at the expense OF
the unsuspecting public and in view OF
heading off scheme OF this character a
Knight of Labor writes from Spokane
Falls urging fellow workmen all over
the country to give that place wide
birth. He says:
The real estate gamblers of this city
are circulating advertisements and
pamphlets all over the country for the
purpose of inducing workmen and
mechanics to come here. They have
made statements about the climate and
natural conditions which are not only
misleading, but entirely false. They
call this the land Of perpetual spring,
and are now gathering a little artic
flower which grows and blooms under
the snow and sending il east, TO give the
impression that spring is already here.
.Tbe truth Is we have had long cold
winter and at this date have fully one
and one-half feet of snow, and it is still
showing. They are making a great
flourish about high wages, but they do
not state price of living which is from
S. to 81 per week, and poor at that
Rents are very high. A single room
can not be obtained for less than from
$40 to S25 per month. Anything that
will give shelter to family commands
from $l5 to $50 per month, and every
thing else in proportion. About 95 per
cent of all the building trades are idle.
1t will be fully two months before they
will all be busy, providing work begins
as soon as the weather will permit
There is great deal Of suffering and
destitution. Mechanics have been COM
PEELED TO pawn their tools until the
brokers refuse to take any more, as they
are afraid they have more than they can
dispose of. These real estate gamblers
are doing all in their power 10 induce
people to come here for the sole purpose
of reaping harvest out of their ruin.
They did the same thing last year, and
consequently the country is full of men,
women and children who are actually
suffering for the necessaries of life.
California was Doomed" to death,
Washington soon will be- and the tide
of working men will turn east. Any
one contemplating coming west must
not come expecting to make anything
in the building trade, for it is already
oye-done. This country is more "boom.
ed" than developed.

We fail to understand how a strike on
the part Of the tin miners at Hill City,
resulting as it has in the shutting
down of four of the leading
mines of the Harney Peak com.
pany, throwing large number of men
out of employment can "seem quite
business like" to the Pilot. To the
CHRONICLE it seems decidedly unbusi-
ness like, and seriously detrimental to
the best interests of the southern Hills,
and that the longer the strikers hold
out, the greater will be the aggregate of
public damage sustained from this un-
fortunate source. The unique idea en-
tertained by the pilot, that the strike,
il continued. will be a good advertise
ment for the tin belt, is peculiar to that
paper, which thus far appears to stand
alone in its quasi advocacy ofthe strik.

the strife illadvised unwise and wholly
unwarranted by the surrounding cir
cumstances.

Building Boom


That Hot Springs is at this juncture
the scene Of very active building boom
is evidenced by the following which we
clip from recent issue Of the Herald
of that place
The building which is going on at
Hot Springs is surprise to every one
who visits this place. In every part of
the town number of buildings are un-
der course of construction, and many
more viii be started during the present
month. 1t is busy scene, indeed,
which presents itself, and the building
which is now being done is small
amount in comparison to what will be
done in few short months. Parties are
arriving almost daily. who contemplates
the erection Of q cos.-.ge for their use
during the sumr.er, and number are
all ready having plans prepared for their
cottages. Every carpenter in towpfs at
work and a number Of carpenters could
secure work at the present time. One
contractor informed us that he had tried
to hire more men, but could not find
them, and that he would hire all the
men he could get. Another one inform
ed us he was in need Of Eve good car
penters, and it looks now as If there
would not be carpenters enough to do
all the work which is being planned.
Building has also been delayed by q
scarcity Of lumber, but the saw mills
are being run at their utmost capacity
now. and every possible effort exerted
to supply the demand, 80 that it looks "
If 1t would no longer be delayed from
this source. The building season at
Hot Springs promises TO be one of the
busiest wc have seen, and We do not be-
lieye there Is any town in Dakota that
will do the building this year that Hot
Springs will. Pes,ple are beginning to
recognize the advantage ofHot SprIngs,
and all are eager 10 secure . foothold

Nav Be Coming.

An attorney Of South Dakota, who
has unusual opportunities for forming a
correct opinion, remarked yesterday
that he believed woman suffrage would
be voted into the constitution Of his
state at the election in November. Al
though the campaign was not fully in
augurated, there was interest enough
for it to be made leading topic of dis
cussion at gatherings and on cars, and
there was surprising degree, of favor
manifested for the amendment. The
drift of sentiment was SO uniformly in
that direction as to warrant the belief
that the distinction Of sex will be OBJ
liberated at the ballot box. While this
is local matter exclusively, entirely
within the province Of the people of
South Dakota, it is Of general interest,
as the adoption of woman suffrage in a
state setteled by people that are warp
and woof of the best culture and civiliz-
alton Of the country give the cause a
standing it HIS not yet had. There has
been no test II at was broad enough TO
show what it really means. The few
women in Wyoming have been allowed
to vote for good many years, but vot-
ing in territory is so limited that no
attention is given it outside, and Wyom-
ing is a region that few know much
about 1t has not the population to lift
it into general view. As state it will
attract the eye more, but the female
voter there will hardly get beyond the
figure Of frontier humor. In South
Dakota she will be on the stage, as it
were, before vast audience. A con-
stitutional ballot dropper there, the ex-
ample will be held up in other states
all about, and the women may insist
that they are as capable to manage
political interests as their sisters in Da-
kota. This no man would think OF
questioning. No successful stand could
be made against the access Of the ladies
to this right Of all the male varieties, IL
they really want it. Whether the ad-
vent of the household queens to the
political arena is for the best interest OF
society and the sex, female suffrage in
South Dakota will he an experiment
under conditions that will largely de-
termine its prevalence in the future
st Paul Globe.

A Prediction Verified.

Our readers will, we trust, pardon US
for referring to prediction repeatedly
made by the CHRONICLE in opposition to
| all Of our local contem poraries, that the
Custer route would be chosen by the b.
& NJ. Railroad company for their Black
Hills branch. That prediction, notwith-
standing the sneers and slurs heaped
! upon the editor of this paper for pub.
fishing proposition so seemingly abb
surd, is now satisfactorily verified, and
the CHRONICLE calls special attention to
this highly gratifying fact, partially for
the purpose of showing how sadly mans
judgment may be warped by a deep
seated prejudice born of opposing de-
sires; but mainly, we must confess, for
the reason that We could not resis. the
temptation to refer TO it, The contract
is let; the die is cast, and however dis
pleasing the result may be in certain
localities, the prediction of the CHReN-
IcLE must stand good for all time, and
we are glad Of it. Upon the verifcation
of this prediction hinged the very life of
Custer. Citizens of other places who
made little study Of our situation can
not fully realize the measure Of damage
the loss of this road would bring upon
this place but Of this il is now unnec-
essary to speak; the dire calamity has
been happily ayerted. Custer has pass.
ed the rubicon, and is now safely
inoored in the harbor of safety, where
she may put aside her frowning fears
and laugh in joyous glee as she quietly
contemplates her past experience upon
the checkered sea Of chancery. The
grave doubts which prevailed despite
the strongest efforts on the part Of her
patient citizens to resist, are fairly dis
PEELED, and her fondest hopes are now
bursting into blooming Iealizations.
The enlivening sound of the mechanics
saw and hammer will soon fall upon the
waiting ears of our expectant citizens !;
the surrounding camps will awaken to
renewed activity, and the entire region
tributary to the Tin City will be quick
ened by the magic influence consequent
upon the advent of the iron horse. The
long looked for event has transpired,
and Custer, natures scenic masterpiece,
the empress Of the Hills, and most
charming of the lot, may now he conceded
to be Enthusiastically on top.

the advantages Of the Springs. and be-
lieves that in this proposition Is one
opportunity that we cannot afford to lei

Mining Notes.

Il
The Deadwood Times of Wednesday
contains the following Custer special
which will be fresh news to many oi
our readers: "Mr. Moss, who repre-
sents New York mill and mining COM
pany, will put in a forty-stamp gold
mill at Four Mile, near Custer. Mr..
Moss expended s75, 900 here last year in
developing and acquiring gold mines.
Now he proposes to work the gold out.
OF course, just at the present tin is king,
vet gold is being worked on paying
basis at the same time.
1t is about time the Wyoming oil
fields were being developed. They are
Of immense extent, easy of access and
the product is of high quality. The
Lander wells are wonderful. They are
three in number and have been plugg-
ed for several years. When unlocked
each proves a spouter, throwing a
stream Of black oil high in the air. Be-
sides one of the wells is spring which
flows into basin, forming lake OF
petroleum 800 yards long and fifty wide.
Every spring the foods carry this oil
down the swift Popoagie. Thousands
upon thousands of barrels have gone to
waste in this manner.-Cheyenne Lead
er.
SHUT DOWN.
The Uncle Sam mine, which has been
reported, and no doubt has been more
proftably operated during the past
month than at any former period in its
history, was shut down last week. Vari-
Gus causes are assigned for the closing,
all of which are more or less conjectural
The working force, who were somewhat
solicitous in the matter of their pay,
attached the clean up, but failed, as
alleged, to find it. A satisfactory settle
ment was later effected, and it is now
believed that the shut down will be
only temporary.
WYOMING OIL sPouTER.
A late issue of the Cheyenne Tribune
has the following "The Tribune learns
that four days ago Pennsylvania syndi-
cate, which has been at work in the
central Wyoming oil fields for probably
year past struck phenomenal flowing
well. The oil deposit was tapped while
six inch casing was being used, ten
inch casing being just above. Recogniz-
Ing at once from the indications that a
spouting oil bonanza had been struck,
the six inch casing was at once with
drawn until the proper arrangements
for controlling the product of the
'spouter'' could be made. Such was
the force Of the up rushing stream, how
ever, that it followed the six inch cas-
ing as it was drawn, entered the mouth
of the ten inch casing, and at last ac-
counts q ten inch stream of mingled oil
and water was being hurled into the
air for height of twenty feet above
the surface of the ground.
