years he lived on Staten Island, in hut

SPRINGFIELD, Mo June 2S.-The sudden
resignation of Prof Amodon, OF Drury
college. was surprise to the public, al
though he was known TO have been un-
popular with the students. A greater
surprise came to light last evening when
il was discovered that he had absconded,
after securing endorsements for about
$1,000 by his fellow professors. Nearly
every member Of the faculty has been vic
timized. The affair has caused sensa-
tion.
SPRINGFIELD, No, June 23.-President
dispatco about Prof Amodon is greatly
exaggerated. The notes OF the professor
are not due vet, and proceedings were
taken against him on the theory that he
would not return. 1t is thought that Amo-
don will return and settle ali matters. The
notes only foot up 5000

figsl cry the vendors of the fruit in Con-
stantinople Certainly 'great cry over
little wool" Scarcely less foolish is the
practice of those who fly to violent physic-
ing for costiveness. They dose themselves
violently, weaken their bowels by so doing,
and disable them from acting regularly, SO
that, verify, the last condition of such
people is worse than the first. Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters is the safe and effective
substitute for such vast expedients. But
no, let US not call tkem expedients, for it
is by no means expedient to use them.
What is needed is a gentle but thorough
laxative, which not only insures action of
the bowels without pain Or weakening eff
fects, which also promotes a healthy
secretion and flow of bile into its proper
channel. Dyspepsia, debility, kidney com
plants. rheumatism and malaria give in
to the Bitters.

Jaynes Saws Celebrate

The following interesting and APP
propriate communication, received too
late for our issue of last week, of which
brief mention was made. is worthy of
perussl, and will be especially interest
ing to old settlers of Custer as a reminder
of the early DAYS of 70:
WYwoRE, Neb., May 1lth, 1891.
EDITOR CUSTER CHRONICLE.
DEAR SIR In your edition of the 9th
inst. you PROFOUND the inquiry evil
Custer Celebrate in 1891 ? and / would
emphatically answer the question "yes,"
and every wide awake resident Of your
city should respond in like manner.
Your short article i'm regard to the cele-
bration brought forcibly to my mind a
similar inquiry put To the citizens OF
Custer in 1876, when there was q much
smaller number to respond, but the
response was prompt and unanimous.
And then upon the short notice of but
"A few days, each one, the ladies especi-
ally, threw themselves into the work,
and such celebration your city will
probably never see again. Not but hat
you can make it more elaborate and
high toned, and perhaps can have more
fluent orators aud finer displaS of
costumes, and perhaps a more bountiful
feast, which / very much doubt, could it
be iefxto the decision of the hund tpsls
Of huegry and dispirited miners Who
partobk of that feast. The matteS of
supplies for such an occasion was Very
momentous question at that early day,
when everything had TO be freighted
from fha roitrnuA lima ,pf.i,l,
was at Cheyenne, Sidney or Bismarck
And as to fresh meat there was none in
the camp. But the writer had the good
bration, to kill a large buck elk some
ten miles down French creek, and by
the aid of team furnished by S. NJ.
Booth, and an all night ride, bountiful
supply Of meat was provided for roass,
stews and mince pies. And such feast
Ragged and hungry miners poured into
Custer from up and down French creek,
from Potato gulch, Hill City, Battle
creek. and other points too numerous
to mention, all bent upon having good
time and square meal, and they had it,
thanks to the untiring energy of the
laeies Of Custer City, and surrounding
country. And the dance which held
until the short hours of the morning,
would compare favorably, in toilet and
department, with any of the refined
communities of the eastern states. The
principal orator of the day was s. NJ
Booth, with appropriate speeches from
others, whose names have gone from my
memory.
There is no earthly reason why the
Custer City of to day should not have
such rousing celebration as will wake
up the echoes of old Calamity Peak"
and revibrate throughout the beautiful
hills and wales Of the Southern Black
Hills. Very truly.
