II Jim Woods desires to be candi-
date for congress that is his priv
ilege, but it l. not right that he should
sail under false colors. He is posing
before the people of eastern Dakota as a
farmer. He is exactly as much a farmer
as Jay Gould. He has several large
herds of cattle out on the Indian reserva-
ton tended by a tribe of wandering
boys. Mr.. Woods is mayor Of Ra-
pid City. and is banker and capitalist
He is one of the largest stockholders in
the Pennington County bank. He was
placed in nomination by just such men
as Tom Russell of Deadwood, who was
| one of his principal supporters in the
Mitchell convention Everybody in
Lawrence county knows Tom, and
knows the kind of q dem-oc.RAT he is.
He works and writes for the Pioneer, a
republican paper. making what he can
from that source, supplementing this by
usually getting position on the demo.
cratic central committee where he gets
a hand in the campaign fund. We
f, would not be understood as blaming Mr..
, Russell, or other dem-oc rats of the
same kind, or infer that their course is
not entirely honorable, but what We de-
sire to do is to impress upon true dem
ocrats the fact that Mr.. Woods candi-
dacy Is not being pushed in the interests
of true democracy or good government.

The Judgeship.

The following telegram received by
III. ID. Reynolds Tuesday evening gives
a fair idea of how the matter Of the ap-
pointment of successor to John W
Nowlin stands, "The appointment
must go to Rapid. Reason, location
Lewis the man."
Three weeks ago Mr.. Reynolds, at the
earnest solicitation of his friends, COM
menced an effort to secure the appoint
ment. The attorneys of Rapid City
were the prime movers. urging Mr.. Rey-
nolds to take the step, telling him that
he was the only man in the circuit who
could secure Judge Nowlins resignation,
and promising him their hearty indorse-
ment. Mr.. Reynolds petition was sign
ed by every member of the bar in this
part of the cicruit, he secured Mr.. Nowl'
in's resignation. and thus equipped he
went to Pierre, the Rapid attorneys
promising to send letters of Endorsement
direct to the governor. The matter was
laid before his excellency, and wher
Mr.. Reynolds left Pierre ten days age
everything indicated that his appoint
ment would be speedily made.
The above telegram was the first init
nation that Mr.. r. had an opponent in
the person of C. l.. Lewis, and leaves
only one conclusion to be arrived at
that Beynold's supposed Rapid friends
betrayed him, using him to secure th'
resignation, because they couldn't do i
themselves, and then got in their worl
for Lewis.
The defeated one can find consider
able satisfaction in the knowledge tina
the excuse offered for the rejection G
his petition is an objection to the local

The Tin Miner is mistaken in the
above. The CHRONICLE said nothing Of
the kind. No matter what rumors are
afloat, or what may be generally be-

statement of their reasons for giving
Flynn into custody, further than that
they deemed such action necessary for
their own protection.

The Lake Scheme.

ASottot 1utoniCit.
As as citizen of Custer. interested.
In a general way, in all enterprises hav-
ing for their object the advancement of
her material interests, have awaited
with much concern for the Inauguration
Of the Lake scheme which was 80 loudly
discussed by its projectors during the
past summer Can IL be possible that
an enterprise of such marked importance
to Custer has been abandoned after its
feasibility and nominal cost has been
determined2 sincerely hope not, but
prolonged delay and apparent apathy
on the part Of the company gives rise to
the gravest forebodings and Is exceed
ingly discouraging to say the least.
Custer Lake, Notwithstanding that it is
a positive nonentity. there being moth
ing, as yet, but favorable site selected
for its establishment, is one OF the best
advertised points in the Black Hills,
and will be place Of great attraction
for tourists and pleasure seekers next
season. on account Of its magnificent
scenery, the surprising grandeur of
which is conceded by all visitors.
OF the numerous visitors 10 this charm
ing spot during the past summer, very
large per cent signifed their intention
TO duplicate their visit next year, when
Custer Lake became a fixed fact, and
the facilities were offered for q boat
ride upon its placid waters. If the
present apathy continues a few week ;
longer, there will be no dam constructed
this year, and the dire result will be,
that the few tourists who visit the en-
chanting spot next summer will simply
behold an admirable location for a dam
by a lake site, but no lake by a
dam site. Certainly there is not
another town in the Hills that would
not jump at the opportunity Of utilizing
so great an advantage at such trIfling
expense. and it is The earnest wish Of a
very large majority of Custer citizens
that the wind work, so long pending,
may cease and actual operations begin.
to the end that another important link
may be added to Clusters matchless
chain OF attractions, making her the
most desirable point for a summer re-
sort in the northwest.
Let the good work be inaugurated at
once in order that we may receive full
measure of benefit next year. otherwise
we must wait until '9I, as the worlds
fair will shut us out in '93. By all
means let the work of erecting the dam
be commenced at once, and prosecuted
with vigor to early completion. Don't
say you can't do it, for you can, Where
there is will there's a way" and there
is no question but what united effort
will accomplish the result.
What do you say Mr.. Editor?
A CITIZEN.
Since the above was put in type a
meeting of the stockholders of the Lake

take the property. build twenty-foot

the immeasurable benefit that such q
deal would be to Custer, and accepted
the proposition. Work will be com

Doran, a rancher residing four or five
miles east of Custer. came to town and
made complaint against NJ. S. Latta, one
Of his neighbors, charging him with as

Doran's appearance that he had been
badly used, as his head and face were
bruised and cut quite seriously. A war
rant for Latta's arrest was issued and at
two o'clock of the same day he was
brought before Justice Smith. A con.
tinuance until the next day WIS asked
for and granted, and Thursday afternoon
the case was tried before Justice Lewis.
Mr.. Doran the complaining witness tes-
tilted that he went to the Latta mill on

leaving the place the defendant hit him
on the back of the head, knocking him
down, and then set upon and beat him
Numerically. Latta employed no attor'

plea of self defense was not sustained
by facts, and Justice Lewis held him In
the sum Of $500 to appear at the next
term of circuit court.

was burned to the ground between 2and
4 O'Clock Thursday morning. The fire
originated in the engine room, and when
discovered had made pretty good head

facilities for fighting fire at the Springs
and the building was quickly consumed,
the inmates just managing to escape
with their lives. most of them losing all
their personal effects. The hotel and
fixtures were insured for Sl4, 200, but the

Samuel f. Morris, of this city, visited
Spokane this week. On his return he
informed us that on Tuesday the owners
Of the mine commenced hauling ore to
the Glendale mill for concentration. If
the ore can be successfully concentrated
at this mill, a large force will be put to
work on the mines, and new era Of
prosperity will be inaugurated at the
Spokane camp.
For several days it was evident that
something was brewing concerning the
Spokane mine, but not until last Mon
day was it fully given that Sylvester
Judd had disposed of his entire one
third interest in the mine to c. J. Pat

The Deadwood Pioneer Of recent
date contained special from Custer to
the effect that Sheriff Wood had let the
contract for the erection of the gallows,
and: that every preparation for the exc
cution of Lehman was under way,
Sheriff Wood on being shown the item
stated that nothing Of the kind had yet
been done. He had no reason to be-
lieve that the execution would not take
place at the time fixed by Judge Thomas,
but as that was then two weeks in the
future, there was ample time for the
making of all necessary preparations,
and no reason for undue haste Unless
the governor interferes. Lehman will
take the fatal drop in the court yard one
week from next Wednesday, November
4th, in the presence of as many persons
as the law will allow Mr.. Wood to ad-
nit. The action and conduct of the
condemned man have undergone
noticeable change during the past two
weeks. lie betrays his realization Of
his position, talks less and spends the
greater part ofhis time in silent thought.
He sleeps well and has an astonishing
appetite for man that has no exercise.
There is not single officer or attendant
who has had anything to do with him
during his long confinement, who will
not say that he conducts himself in any
thing but the manner Of an insane man,
and that the only trouble with him is
that he is thoroughly mean.

We believe in Prohibition. Wehold it
to be the right and duty of society to
protect itself against any and every
abuse. But men, as individuals, have
certain natural and inalienable rights.
God gives US certain privileges and free
dom of choice which no one has any bus
mess to invade. There are some points
in which we stand related to God alone
and not to men. A mans conscience,
above all things, is his own and God re-
spects, above all else, the power and
choice of the human will. Man is not a
brute to be controlled by physical force,
necessity and fear, nor machine to be
run by mechanical skill. The moral
government of the world is by motives.
The divine plan is to win men. There is
no moral character and intelligent re-
sponsibility on any other ground. God
might have made machine that couldn't
drink whiskey and the problem is to get
him to stop it willingly and of his own
choice. How far prohibition will effect
that purpose is question. The grand
principle of the gospel of the Lord Jesus
Christ is that the law is weak and that
only grace can save.-(O. Q. Wright.

brought before Justice M. J. Cavanaugh,
the same night, the cases were adjourned
to future dates, satisfactory bonds for
the appearance of the prisoners being
given. 1t is to be hoped that not only
