The Dakota Mills,

One day last week we made a
trip TO the Dakota Mills, and while
we knew that extensive improves
ments were going on down there. we
were surprised at the real .magni-
tuae OF these Improvements. Coils.
Sheafe and Roynton both were di-
recting the work OF Il large force OF
inen. ,An entire new boiler room is
being built out OF brick, which is
much larger and more commodious
than the old one. The new boiler,
which is being placed in position, is
one Of the best that is made. It
has a test Of $50 pounds to the
square inch, is authorized to run ali
the while at l25 pounds pressure,
while all that will be necessary to
run the entire machinery Of the mill
will be so pounds. The boiler has
a solid iron facing in front which
gives it a fine appearance, and it
will nearly be enclosed with brick,
around the sides. In the main
building improvements can be no.
ticed on every hand. A new bolt
ing system has been added, two sets
new rolls, new piping and spouting
throughout the mill, and a general
Encouragement Of the internal parts.
The mill is now one OF the best
equipped in the state, and has q ca
pacity Of $50 pounds -four per day,

Death OF Phil Walters,

This community learned with
surprise mingled with regret on
Sunday OF the death ofPhil Walters.
OF Copp, on Saturday evening. We
are informed that his rather sudden
death resulted from strangulation OF
the bowels which was brought upon
him by heavy lifting on the pre-
vious Wednesday. at which time he
loaded some heavy household fur
niture alone, including a cook stove,
placing them upon q wagon bearing
a hayrack, and from which exertion
he at once felt i'll effects. He rapid
ly grew worse and vas beyond help
before the usual time when in such
cases surgery as Il last resort super
ceaes medical treatment. a post
morteM by Drs. Hull and Ballard
revealed three feet OF intestinal
strangu'ation by q band. 1t is
probable from previous complain
ings of the patient and the rapid
fatal tendency of the case, that its
origin was really of more than II few
days standing. The burial occurred
Sunday afternoon.
Phil Walters had lived in Potter
or ON his farm in northern Sully
county for about six years, coming
here from Union county, this state.
For something like & year past he
had been running a small store at
Copp, at which place he vas also
postmaster. We understand that
he was on the point Of closing out
his business therein fact was in
the very act of moving back to his
farm when the injury occurred which
led to bis death. Deceased was
about thirty years of age, a man Of
energy aud some local prominence.
He leaves q wife and two children.

The Black Hills ard Pierre.

Prof. G. Il. Rally Of the Black
Hills School Of Mines, delivered d
lecture ia the Opera House on Mon
day evening Of this week upon the
Black Hills country and the Sioux
Reservation recently opened for set
Element. Prot. Bai!y is a fluent
speaker, and his subject was intense
" interesting He gave persons who
have never visited the Hills a better
idea Of that country than they could
gain by reading books and papers
for weeks. He showed conclusiyely
that the Black Hills we're destined
in the near future to produce more
than the balance Of the state. Also
that the reservation has as fertile
soil as the north and central por-
tons of the state, and with the irri-
CATION principle applied, which will
surely be done, the country was Ms
susceptible of as great q population
as any portion Of the state. As vet
the Hills are only in the first stages
of development of her mineral re-
sources, and what they wanted now
was n Or two lines Of railroad con- |
meeting this Southern portion ofthe
state with the Hills, and Prof. Baily
argued with force and truth that the |
best and quickest way to accomplish
now was to locate the perma-
ncnt capital Of the state on the Mis-
souri, river. He said the Black
Hills people were practically nnani-
nous in favor of Pierre, believing
that it is the greatest thing that can
be done now to develope the western
portion Of the state. There is no
question but the Black Hills is the
country in minerals in the
world, and with the mineral wealth
If the west properly developed and
he agricultural wealth ofthe eastern
portion, South Dakota will soon be-
;orne one of the richest common
gcal5hs ia the United States. Prof.
taily il u practical, western man,
lived in the west for the last
IS years, and he is perfectly famili-
r with the subject of his lecture.

The Belle OF the Ball.
j. b. CAMPBELL

A certain light-complexioned
young man of West Troy, N. Y,
with no visible signs of beard, and
his charming sister Fannie look
a good deal alike. A pink domino
party was given at the house of a
lady on Stafford street, that cit !,
and Miss Fanny was invited. She
is as full OF fun rs her brother. and
when the latter requested that he be
allowed to take her best dress, and
attend the party she readily conscn-
ted. Wednesday evening Fannie
assisted Harry in getting the female
toggery on, and arranged the hustle
to perfection. When the jaunty
little hat was placed upon his head
gear of switches and front piece he
looked to sweet for anything. He
looked exquisite, and she cautioned
him to be careful about crossing his
legs at the party or sitting down all
over the hustle.
Harry promised to be careful and
after the last bit Of powder had been
applied to his checks he sailed forth.
Fannie Cor Harry was the Belle of
the ball. He was kissed by a score
OF fair maidens, which caused the
red blood to flow to his powdered
cheeks, and made him look more
lovely. Harry was allowed to enter
the dressing rooms and it was al
