the house Of representatives he was q
member of the two most important com
mittses, those of ways and means and oi
appropriations, and did good service on
each. His record as the executive OF
his state was highly creditable. The
last public service rendered by Mr..
Foster was as a member Of the Sioux
commissission. He was defeated for
congress last year by small majority
in a strong democratic district.
Mr.. Foster has been identified With
the republican party since its organiza-
tion and is an sanest PARTISAN. In bis
financial views he has been, and pre-
sumably is still, a disciple of Senator
Sherman, and his position regardi;H( the
tariff is in line with that of the large
majority of Ohio republicans. Mr.. Fos-
ter will undoubtedly be promptly con-
frmed by the senate, and there is every
reason to believe that lie will make a
careful and conservative secretary Of the
treasury. However, the financial policy
Of the administration has been pretty
clearly defined, and the course already
marked out will undoubtedly be ad-
hered to. President Harrison is ac.
credited with having shaped the policy,
and if that be so it will not be affected
by the change in the head of the de-
partment."

Current Rumors.

Among the rumors in active circul-
alton in this city at this writing emanat-
ing from sources believed TO be fairly
reliable, We note the following:
The contract for grading the B. & NJ.
branch road from Minnekahta station, 2S
miles south of this city to Hot Springs
was let on Monday.
As this route is known TO have been
located and cross sectioned last year,
the rumor is reasonably credited at this
place.
The B. & N. Railroad company have
decided 10 build an air line from Custer
City to Newcastle this spring.
This rumor is given consider
able credence on account Of the fact Of
it being for some time an open secret
that the company was contemplating
the construction Of this line, which has
already been surveyed, and known to be
exceptionally desirable as an eastern
outlet for coal and coke, being of easy
grade and sixty miles shorter than the
present route via Dudley.
An exceptionally rich tin strike has
been made in one Of the Harney Peak
company's tunnels a. Tenderfoot, near
this city, at distance of nearly one
thousand feet from The point Of opening.
This rumor is universally credited for
the reason that such a discovery has
been confidently expected for some time,
as the richest tin float ever found in the
history of mining is known to exist in
that locality, and the matter ofstriking
the vein from which il came could only
be rega rded as question of time.
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1891-02-28

Ex Governor Charles Foster has been
nominated by the president for secretary
of the treasury, position recently made
vacant by the death Of Secretary
Window. The nomination gives gener-
al satisfaction. The Omaha Bee has the
following comment upon Mr.. Fosters
nomination: president Harrison has
nominated Hon. Charles Foster of Ohio
to be secretary of the treasury. The
country was prepared by recent out
Qiyings for this announcement, it having
been understood from the first that Mr..
Foster was rather the favorite with the
president among those who were sug.
gested to succeed the late William
Window, both by reason Of availability
and location. Ohio has not been par.
ticularly we'll favored by this admins
tration, and when the republicans oi
that state presented the name of ex
Governor Foster for the treasury port
folio circumstances were largely on thei
side. The claim of the state to this re
cognition was supplemented by the cor
dial personal relations between the pre-
sident and the candidate. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Foster win be satisfactor
to the conservative financial interests .
the country and to republicans every
where. He had been successful ma
in practical affairs and has had an 81
tensive experience In public life, havir
served eight years in congress and fo'
years as governor Of Ohio. While

SOUTH DAKOTA LEADS.

The educational branch of the census
bureau has completed partial state
ment of the condition of the public
schools in 20 states and territories. The
states and territories are selected at ran
dom and represent every section of the
country. A striking feature of the
bulletin is the marked increase In the
enrolment of the schools. The aver
age increase in population in the 20
states and territories was 1924 per CEN
sus, while the schools increased 72 per
cent. South Dakota takes the lea d with
an increase Of 563.36 per cent agai nst
23460 per cent in population. Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont show a
decline in enrolment. In California,
Connecticut, Massachusetts,, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Wisconsin and Wyoming, the
ratio of increase in the schools does not
keep pace with the growth in population
Virginia and South Carolina have made
notable strides in the educational field
and also Arizona. The sex of teachers
employed varies from 10 men to 9:
women in Massachusetts,, to 100 men tc
lOl women in South Carolina. The
ratio of boys and girls in the schoo
ranges from 100 boys to s5 girls in Ari
zona and 100 boys to ll3 girls in th'
District of Columbia. The average II
the twenty states and territories j
slightly in favor of the girls. The fig
ures are fairly representative of tn
whole country, and furnish striking evl
dence Of the growth of popular educs
ton.

Lucky Jack Mowatt.

Jacb Mowatt, timber inspector for the
the Homestake Mining company, was in
Deadwood yesterday for the first time
since his return on Sunday last from a
visit to the new state of Washington.
Mr.. Mowatt was induced to visit Wash
ington to inquire into the value Of some
six hundred and forty acres of land,
which he purchased as long ago as 1873.
The land to date has cost him in all about

The following, taken from an ex-
change, is reproduced for the benefit Of
chronic kickers, class of local leechss
that is represented in every town in the
Hills, Custer not excepted: IF you are
a kicker and see the shadows Of failure
in everything that is proposed to help
the town, for heavens sake 60 to some
secluded canyon and kick your own

stops just three minutes in Custer.-Sun-
dance Gazette.
Well, what of it? That is time en-
ough for more travellers to get on and of
than Sundance sees in month. Yes, it is
true that the B. & N. passenger does not
halt at Custer for longer time than is
actually necessary, but it would have
been much more serious matter if the
B. & NJ. had stopped three years to
consider the adyisability of building to
