OF the old timers. was killed in a mine
accident, near Warner, Idaho, a few
days ago.

Stephen Reeves, a young man qnite
well known in Custer and vicinity, was
severely hurt while working in the
mines Of the Golden Reward Co., at
Bald Mountain, a few days since. He
is being cared foe nt the Lead City hos

Dan Phinney. Boutwell, and Downing
have commenced work for discovery
Of the saline ledge on Phinney's Legal
Tender. They have been rewarded by u
prospect that shows 80 per cent. lead
and over 30 OF. in silver. The new find
gives an impetus to Spokanites general
ly. The long expected second rich find
is now discovered, and the doubling
Thomas may now come to Spokane and
be convinced of the rich mineral wealth
that can be found in more than one
place in this distrlct.
The general impression seems to be
that the Gold Star mill las shut dow II
for the winter. 1t is given out that the
result Of the recent run was of such n
nature that the company Is assured Of
the success af their project, and that all
Indebtedness will be liquidated and
nothing further done until spring. If
shis is really the policy of the company,
the months of inactivity will of course
be disappointment TO our people, but
the disappointment is nothing compared
with the satisfaction derived from the
knowledge that the cnmpany's process
has proved success aud that the value
of our refractory ores is no longer n
question.
A number ofCuster citizens are en-.
gagged in developing a group of gold
claims just east Of town and their pro-
gress Is marked with every indication
that success will reward their effors to
uncover valuable body Of god ore.

and are owned by Messers. 0lo Reler,

To Reserve the Timber.

Col. J. NJ. O'Brien. special timber in
spector for the interior Department is
in Deadwood on official business that
will prove great benefit to the Hills.
His Mission is to reserve for the govern
ment. all timber growing at the head of
streams in order to perpetuate more
surely the water supply. The removed
of the timber near the sources Of streams
has tendency to dry mp the water.
That this is fact the Homestake Water
company has reason to know. because
although in former years their supply
was ample for all uses. the cutting of Of
the timber has so curtailed the supply
that the lack of water is becoming q
serious question. With the exception
of Fix and Bear Butte creeks. the tim

later he came to the Black Hills, and

A Pure Baking Powder.

desideratum in these days ofadu}ierat-

analyses to be entirely without one or

absolutely pure. This, il is shown, re-
suits from the exclusive use by its manu-
facturers Of cream Of tartar specially re-
fined and prepared by patent processes
which totally remove to the tartrate Of
lime and other impurities. The cost Of
this chemically pure cream Of tartar is
much greater than any other, and 1t Is

.ALBAuaH's GRAND OPERA HoUsE.--Seats are
now on sale for the new military drama, 'The
Volunteers" by George T. Ulmar, at Albaugh's
next week. The play was written long before
, .he most successful pieces Of today we're even
thought OF, possessing plot Of the most un-
conventional and original order. 1t unravels
the mystery surrounding the Municipalities Of
two stepbrothers and portrays with realism and
truthfulness the existing conditions of war life
in either cause. The piece is romantic-truly
SO. 1t is a link that binds us to the American
drama Of the future as well as that Of the past.
Freshened with the breezes of Harpers Ferry,
Malvern Hill and Fredericksburg. it pulsates
with hidden fire throughout and with feverish

HARRIS BIJoU THEArER.-Amerlca has pro-
duced no greater dramitist than BARLEY Camp
bell, and even now, years after his decease, his
plays are among the most attractive of all that
are prese nted. Next week his famous work.
The White Slave" will be given by COM
pany that is fully capable of doing full justice
to the thrilling situations of the
play and the strong heroism Of the characters.
Miss Julia Stuart will assume the role Of Lisa,
the heroine. The part is one that demands
unusual strength in an actress, and Miss Stuart
has met with high approval in her presentation
Of it. That famous interpreter of the charac-
ter of the old negro, Allt q. Barlow, is also in
cluded in the cast as one Of the faithful planta-
ton slaves. Seats are now on sale.
KERNAN's LYcEUM THEATER.-The famous
war drama, "Held by the Enemy" will be at
Kernan's Lyceum Theater next week with Il
cast which is regarded as fully equal to the
presentation of that powerful play in its
strongest form. 1t is one of the earlier
successes Of the now famous dramatist, William
Gillette, and by many it is considered his mas
terpiece. The thrilling pictures OF war which
abound in the performance are given with Won
derful spirit and fidelity in this presentation.
The story is one of absorbing interest and the
dramatst presents it in the most effective form
possible.

He Evidently Knew the Game.

From the Kansas City Times.
At the Centenary NJ ethodist Church yesterday
an incident occurred while collection was
being taken up that caused a great deal Of
amusement. The collection was a special one
and in order to insure that no one anxious to
contribute should lack opportunity the pastor
suggested that the ushers station themselves
about the church and repeat the name of each
one who gave and the amount subscribed.
Methodists almost always liberal, and
Centenary Methodists are said to be partcu-
larry so. Subscriptions came along at rat
Ting rate and the ushers were kept busy.

teen years old, appeared ct the Newsboys'
Home, on Z street, and asked Agent Sweeney
about giving him a home for a short time. The
boy gave his name as George Hauley, and said
that his father lived in New York, but that he
had to leave there some time ago and come
here. He said he had been living with a lady
In this city who was about to move to New
York. and he wanted a home for a few weeks
Although Agent Sweeney doubted the truth
of the lad story he told him he would care for
him. and suggested that he bring a note from
the LADY with whom he had been living.
Monday the boy appeared, as he said he
would, but he said that the lady refused to give
him n note because she was not related to him
and had no control of him.
Agent Sweeney took him in and cared for
him. and yesterday his older brother came from
New York and got him.

Many Cases of That Kind Tried In the Police

The records of the Police Court for the past

legged assaults on women, as well as in the num-
Der of assaults resulting from quarrels about
those of the weaker SEX Yesterday in the first
three cases called before Judge Miller the male
prisoners were charged with assaults on women,
and the first two cases called today were of a
similar character. Frank Stewart, a neatly
dressed young colored man, was defendant in
the first case and young woman named
Martha McKenna was the prosecuting witness.
When Martha had concluded her statement
Frank was sworn and he admitted his guilt.
He, however. thought he was fully justified in
what lie did, for. according to his statement,
Martha is III love with HIM and she sent him
what he said was a threatening letter.
Not long ago. said Frank, she accused me
of going with some other girls and said she
would give me until the first day OF October to
determine whether would go with her or not"
Frank said that he attending to his
father 5 business when Martha came after him
and he admitted that he slapped her.
You had no right to take the law in your
hands" said the judge. You will have to paw

"brave making" The Indians of the north
west make braves now just as / suppose
they did a hundred years ago, and the per-
Torrance is the most hair-raising exhibition
l ever beheld. 1t is public ceremonial All
the men, women and children and dogs, too,
of a village are gathered together. and tho
various articles OF braves paraphernalia
are laid out in order before the candidates
There are robes and rifles and knives,
feathers and moccasins and other articles
of apparel and when the performers
are ready an old chief steps up, takes
Then the horns and rattles and drums strike
up and all dance, yelling at the top OF their
voices. Other speeches are made and then 4.
candidate is brought forward. An incision is
made with a large knife on each side of his
breast and long, strong stick is thrust
through, the ends are fastened to cords large
enough to bear his weight and the cords are
thrown across a beam. He dances, yelling with
all his might and occasionally throwing himself
backward so to bring his whole weight on
the skewer through his breast. This is done in
the effort to tear out the skewer by rendiug the
flesh, but some times it fails, and when il does,
after the chief has become satisfied with the
fortitude of the victim, the cords are loosed.
Ii any doubt remains half dozen Indians take
hold OF the cords and drag the candidate ABOUND
until convinced that he is really capable OF en-
during any pain. He is then "a brave" and en-
rolled among the warriors. The whole cere-
mony is sickeningly brutal, and the painted
bodies Of the participants, their fendish cries
and demoniac dances render it as near an APP
proach to q dance Of demons Gs Dante could
ever have imagined.
