Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1891-10-31

Since Monday noon Of this week the
sound of hammer and saw, issuing from
the rear of the yard Of the Custer coun-
ty court house, has attracted the atten-
tion ofpassers by. This morning as a
result of the carpenters labor, there
stands completed plain, grim looking
structure twenty feet square and eight
cen feet in height. Inside the court
house, in the steel cage in the basement,
man whiles away the last hours of
his life, sleeping peacefully, pacing to
and fro, and peering through the bars
70 the street beyond. The structure is
u ascaffold, the man is John b. Lehman,
convicted murderer, sentenced to be
hung next Wednesday, Nov. 4th, be-
tween the hours of 10 q. m. and p. m
But three days intervene between this
one and the day fixed for the
execution. Every preliminary has
been attended to, the rope, hempen
cord, small but substantial looking. has
been secured, and nothing, but a re.
prieve by the governor can save Ben
Lehman's life. BY many it is thought
that tie execution of the sentence will
be stayed at the last moment. Probably
no one but Lehman himself, hopes that
it will. That he fully realizes his ex-
tremity is apparent from his altered con-
duct

The commencement.

Unusual interest is taken in the ap-
preaching commencement exercises. The
charts for the sale of reserved seats for the
evening exercises are already badly
mutilated and the theatre will be crowded
both evenings The offer of prizes has no
doubt greatly increased the interest this
year. Four prizes are offered. Five dol
lars for the best composition and $3.50 for
the second best, Five dollars for the best
defamation and $3.50 for the second best.
Five prominent citizens will be selected to
adiudicate the competitions. A new
feature has been arranged for the High
School class day exercises on Friday. In
stead of the usual programme of declsms-
tions recitations, ETC., there will be 'Ye
Olde Folkes Concert introducing a
dialogue "rhe Town Meeting" in which
the High School male graduates will
participate. The session will be very
entertaining one.

A Pointer for Our Borough Dads
to Consider.
The Evening Chronicle says many people
have had the idea that they could let their
pavements and cutters take care of them
selves and never pay any attention to the
notices from the borough authorities to
pave, curb and gutter They also had an
idea that if council did the work the money
could not be collected from them. Those
ideas are all exploded now.
From Wednesday until last evening the
case of the borough of Pottsville against
Francis b. Bannan to recover the cost Of
curbing and guttering his properly on Rail
road street was on trial before Judge
Bechtol. The jury took the case late yes
terday afternoon and this morning rem
dered verdict in favor of the borough

Fooled his Mamma.

A North Main street lady was puzzled
for several days over the supposed extra
ordinary conduct of one of her hens.
Every morning she visited the nest she was
surprised by discovering two large and,
presumably, fresh laid eggs. The laying
qualities of the hen were heralded through
the neighborhood and her henship was
reaching high notch in public opinion
when, one morning, the owner caught hel
son placing an extra egg in the nest The
boy confessed that he had slipped an extrs
egg into the nest every morning to have
some fun with his mamma, The fonG
parent added an unpleasant sequel (for tht
boy) to the joke.

Interstate Commerce.

We noticed last week Judge JUSKN's
recent decision in the County Court OF
Montgomery that the State Sunday-law so
far as it affected railroad trains running
from one State into another was uncon-
stitutional and therefore null and void.
These trains are protected by the clause
of tho Federal Constitution which pro-
yides that Congress shall have power to
regulate commerce between the several
States. The Messenger mentions our en-
dorsement Of the decision and then adds :;
1.-The same question came before the
County Court Of Pulaski last Monday on
motion to quash four indictments against
the Norfolk and Western railroad for run
ming its trains on Sunday. Judge Hudson
oyerruled the motion, holding that the
law was constitutional and should be en-
forced. The railroad company, 1t is said,
will appeal from this last decision"
Judge HUDsoN no doubt decided the
case upon the assumption that the State OF
Virginia was simply exercising its police
powers when it passed the law in question,
but this plea will hardly avail in Federal
court or in the highest State court in Viz
GINA. "A State may not under the guise
of exercising itspolice powers make
determinations against the products and
industries of some of the States in favor of
the products and industries of its own or
other States" So said the Supreme Court
of the United States in the REBMAN case
from Virginia. Surely it is such dis
elimination to arrest a fresh-meat train on
the western border of Virginia at II ?. M.
Saturday and keep it there until - p. M.
Sunday. Besides, Congress can make no
law respecting an establishment of reli-
e1on.n Can State make such law?

A Enfila Threat.

We we're told in the papers a few days
AGO that the advocates OF the force Dill
threaten TO attach it to an appropria-
ton bill and thus get it through Con-
eress unless the silverites shall cease their
efforts 10 attach the bill for the free coin
ace of silver to an appropriation bill.
They were annoyed by Mr.. STEWART, OF
Nevada, who proposed last week to amend
an appropriation bill so as TO provide for
the free coinage of silver.
We were among the last TO believe that
the force bill was dead Our confidence IN
the good faith of the Republican managers
was not strong. And so we urged our
friends in the Senate and the House TO
fight over every inch of ground. and never
10 fail. when such acourse was practicable,
20 raise the question of consideration or
the question Of quorum, or to neglect 70
filibuster at any time. We we're afraid TO
trust such tricksters as the northern malig-
nants. But our fears have now departed.
We have. il is true, no more reason TO trust
"onr friends the enemy" than we had be-
fore. But we have better reason Tor be-
lieving that Republicans enough will act
with the Democrats TO prevent the force
bill from becoming q law. The develop
ments of the last week have shown that
the silver senators belonging to the Re-
publican party are standing shoulder to
shoulder with the Democrats in opposition
TO the closure resolution and the force bill,
and are much more likely TO continue to
stand under that banner than they are to
desert 10 the enemies Of bimetallism. Be-
sides. MIR. GoRMAS is a man who is not at
all likely to play a game of Heads you
win, tails lose" with the silver senators
of the Republican party. We wrong the
silver senators in saying even this much.
