Next Spr1nR.

Winter is waning, the retur ming blue
bird, and melodious robin will soon
remind us Of the advent of spring.
Another spring is about to be ushered
in upon us, freighted with even more
propititious and fruitious prospects than
have hitherto characterized this ever
promising period in the tickle and
checkered past. Prosperity and spring
have eve been synonymous terms in
the Black Hills. Whatever may be said
of springs that have passed, the pros
pective spring has ever been, and is
now regarded as the season of golden
opportunities. The people of the Hills,
and especially the citizens Of Custer
have been possessed of a degree o:
patience that would be considered
phenomenal in any other locality. They
have, many of them, looked forward to
the advent Of more than a half score OF
springs, which seemed to 5e fairly full
of golden promise, that failed to meet
the measure o their hopes. Next spring
has been the watchword of promise,
while last spring has been invariably
disappointing, and still hope is no less
ardent it is the browning solace which
cheers the heart, sooths the mind and
makes life not only tolerable, but desir-
able. May the coming spring pass into
history as the turning point in the tide
Of our fortunes. and all our most
sangnine hopes be fully realized.

r. L. blanchard, Of Mitchell, the pub
lie examiner for South Dakota, arrived
in this city on Saturday, and has since
been busily engaged, with a corps Of as
sistants, in the thorough investigation
of the records of the county treasurer's
Office. The task is an onerous n and
involves much more time than was at
first supposed. The investigation has
been industriously continued since the
arrival Of the examiner, and yet the
work is far from being complete. 1t is
believed that 1t will require the greater
part of next week to complete the in
vestigation, i findeed 1t can be done in
that time. Thus far the result OF the
examination may only be surmised, as
nothing definite in relation to it has yet
been announced. 1t is however APP
pretended that a shortage from three
thousand, to six thousand dollars will
be found when the final balance is made,
an apprehension which il is but fair to
say is largely based upon rumor. The
examiner will remain in charge of the
office until the newly appointed treasur-
er has been duly qualified to accept
charge.

Gently been receiving the attention Of
NJ. ID. Kenyon, the public examiner for
the state of Minnesota, in the way Of a
thorough examination OF its affairs. The
result Of his Investigations indicate an
unsound condition on the part of the
company, and that the beat interests oil
the public cannot be subseryed by its
continuance in business. The report Of
the examiner, submitted to the attorney
general Of the state, on the 9TH inst.
shows that after having been In business
for two years or more, there is q defici.
ency of $74,7lS.2S in accounting oil
money received from its shareholders
Notwithstanding the shareholders have
paid to its agents In addition to the
above sum S266,O00 In admission fees
1t would appear from the report, that
the deficiency was nearly six per cen
of the total amount received. The re
port is most damaging in its character
and will, there is every reason to be
lieve, result in eventually closing III
tie company's affairs. In the mean
time, pending the action of the attorne,
general, II will doubtless be kept busy

We Don't Wonder

That those who do not advertise,
complain of hard times; as it is but the
natural and inevitable result of a false
and idea Of Monumental econo-
my.
That the rank and file of Clusters
population are waxing weary over the
long wait for some of our leading citizens
to take the initiative in the matter OF
putting forth an effort in the interest OF
the town, as it must be apparent to all
that the extreme limit of human
patience has now been fully reached.
That all Custer visitors are delighted
with the SURPRISING grandeur and ex.
ceptional beauty Of our natural scenery;
as the reason stands out 30 palpable AZ
to be u~nmistakable, they can't help 1t.
That the grip failed to materialize in
Custer; al the microbic germs Of the
disease. generated as they sre in foul
air, could not be consistently expected
to resist the rayages Of tho contrast.
That men hnye no bank account who
copiously curse the town while they
supinely sit and wait for something q
turn up as large surplusscs were never
known to be created on the Micawbei
plan.

. To Convert.

As q passenger train came in Friday
morning and had discharged its cargo
and the train men were about leaving
for breakfast, one Of the incoming pas
sengers jumped upon the engine and
pulled the throttle wide open with a
view of running the train down the
road. If it had not been for the
air brakes that were on, and the amount
of steam put on SO suddenly as to cause
the drive wheels to slip upon the track
without moving the train, it is more
than probable that the b. 4 NJ. company
would have been out a train and an
engine. What the fellows purpose was
no one has been able to learn, but 1t is
reasonable to presume he was crazy, as
no a person would try to steal arail.
road train. He would have too much
trouble to convert his plunder into cash.

Concerning The Chronicle

The following complimentary COM
ments by our local contemporaries, up
on the late change in the form and
fashion Of the CHRONICLE, are very
cheerfully reproduced
The CUSTER CHRONICLE is now a folio
instead Of a quarto, but continues to be
n Of the best papers in the Hills
Buffalo Gap News.
The CUSTER CHRONICLE, one ofthe very
best of the Clippers exchanges, changed
last week from a quarto TO an eight-col-
umn folio.-Crawford Clipper.
The CUSTER CHRONICLES has changed
its form from an eight page quarto to
an eight column folio. II is much neat
err looking sheet now than ever before
Success gentlemen.-Bntte Go. Star.
The CUSTER CHRONICLE came out last
week with d new head and its form
changed from n six column quarto to an
eight column folio. The paper hereto
fore was one Of the neatest, and best
printed, published in the Hills coutry,
but We believe its recent changes has
added to its former appearance.-Oel-
richs Advocate.
The CUSTER CHRONICLE, for SO long a
time appearing as u six-column quarto,
made its appearance last week rs ar
eight column folio. The CHRONICLE is
one Of the best edited, and newsiest
papers in South Dakota and il it only
had a little politics injected into 1T
would prehaps make itself considerably
stronger with the people.-Sturgis Ad-
vertiser.
The Record notices that all the papers
Of the Hills are pntting on new friIls.
The CUSTER C~nRoNICLE Is the latest, and
its Improvement is SO marked rs to call
for special admiration. Evidently the
boys of the Black Hills press believe
in that old foolish idea-putting every
CEN earned right back into the business.
