SHE SCR0UGED HIM
In Bed and He Beat Her Brains out with
a Flat-Iron-He .ays It's n Good job.


LOWELL, MASS, December 25.-A horri-
bic murder took place in Aldrlch's block
last night though it was two o'clock this
morning before the crime was rep rted 10
the papers. The murderer is Frank l..
Moulton, a dissipated barber who beat out
the brains of his wife, Alma r. Moulton,
with flat-iron.
He appears to have been sober at the
time of committing the crime. AS Moul-
ton tells the story, this quarrel began in
bed because his wife would not give him
room enough. She slapped his face and he
tried to choke her.
They then arose, partially dressed and
went at il again, when he got fiat iron
and after asking her if she would give up,
to which she said no, he said: 81 let her
have the fat iron three times, as hard as
could hit"
The first blow feled her and her face
and head is pounded out of shape; one ear
is severed an the skull fractured. Moul,

MUCH TRUTH.

A contribution in the ST. Paul Globe
of Sunday, from the pen of B. F. Ma
claren, contains SO much wholesome
truth that it is worthy of careful perusal.
The article is as applicable to news
papers as it is to ministers of the gospel.
Read it:
/ am not at all surprised that some
people do not so to church. We praise
God and preach righteousness in our
churches, and there is great multitude
of people who have no love for either
God or righteousness, and who act as if
they would not feel at home even in
heaven. If preacher rubs the fur of
the human animal in the right direction,
encourages him to do about as he likes,
and talks eloquently of the progress of
the age, it is expected that he will, for a
while, have quite crowd, especially if
he throws in good musical programme
and charges nothing. But when a
preacher follows the example of Christ
he not only tells of the love of God but
also smites, hipsa and thigh, all manner OF
selfishness and meanness among the high
and low and rich and poor. He takes
down the pride of men and demands
that they must all repent of their sins
and get down on their knees before God.
1t is not wonderful that great many
people have no love for such preaching as
this and prefer to go to Sunday theatres
and other similar places. And yet it is
a fact that the preacher who is the most
fearless and hits sin the hardest is in the
end the most popular and has the largest
permanent crowd. The people respect
his honesty; they know that they deserve
all he gives them, and they find that he
is their best friend. To get people tc
go to church, then, We need more posi-
tive, emphatic preaching such as came
from the lips of Christ. We need te
have out churches overflow with love
and sympathy for all who are in trouble
and sorrow. We need not only fill seats
in our churches, but also fill hearts and
hands

TAKING Al TUMBLE.

3
Dir. Arthur Graves Of Boston, who for
the last ten years has been an active
member of eastern societies formed In
aid Of the red men, and who has also
been engaged in missionary work among
the Indians for the past year was recent
" interviewed in Chicago upon the great
and all absorbing Indian problem. He
said: 81 have worked like an apostle Of
the olden times among the Indians and
have retired from mission work for good.
The western Indians know more than
most OF the people Of Boston, and they
are as crafty as veteran detectives. I
pitied them for believed they had been
treated shamefully and were innocent
and ignorant, but they know consider
able. i wouad tell them bible stories at
Rosebud agency and they listened close
". When I finished they would get to-
gether and gny me numerically. When
/ was with the Sioux chief Red Cloud,
he said T could make 100 Indians happy
by getting our society to send out fifty
plows and other farming tools. got
the people at home interested in it and
they shipped me two carloads of tools
These were distributed to them, and they
appeared overioyed with the prospect oi
having means OF tilling the soil
Shortly after this / went further west
for month and when I returned could
not find any of the tools, but, after dill
igent search, it was found that the Indi.
ans had pitched them all in the White
river and made a bridge of them. The
costly tools sent out for farming pur.
poses were used as stones and the bridge
across the little river was all the good
that was accomplished. This is one in.
stance, and there are many more similar
At this time / began to lose faith ir
them, and subsequent events proved to
me that an Indian could be only an In.
dian. The best way to solve the Indian
problem, in conclusion, is not to bother
with it at all. Leave the matter to the
western people and they would treat the
red man fair and keep him in his place
At the same time the eastern people who
meddle with affairs with which they
have no accurate knowledge do more
harm than good.

tract to survey the boundary line be-
tween North and South Dakota. The
work will take year to complete it, and
besides making the survey, he under his
contract, viii be required to erect substan-
tial monuments on the line There will
be 725 monuments placed half mile
apart, each seven feet long, weighing
900 pounds apiece. The survey will

tion will commence as soon as possible.
The stone will have to be distributed by
wagons, each carrying four monuments
when there are highways and three when
there are none. The pillars are to be
set three feet and half above the sur
face. Mr.. Bates has been surveying IN
Dakota for twenty three years, and is
recognized ais one of the most capable
engineers in the northwest, and has had

The Pioneer Excnraiou.


The first annual outing OF the society
of Black Hills Pioneers took place Mon
day at Custer and from all accounts it
was a glowing success The B. & M.
train out of Deadwood pulled GIT
people into the pioneer city, and those
coming from other directions swelled the
the number of visitors to nearly 1000
people. From the Times few excerpts
are taken, as follows:
On the arrival of the train at Custer
the immense throng wended its way in
carriages and on foot to the beautiful
grove prepared for the occasion. The
speakers stand was soon surrounded,
when Rev. j. v. Willis opened the exer-
cises in speech of welcome, after which
dinner was announced. Then came the
orator of the day, Colonel VIM. r.
Steele, who in his usual clear and dis
tinct manner briefly referred to the pio-
neers of '74, '75 and '76, to the rich and
varied interests of the Black Hills, and
last but not least to the noble hospitality
of the citizens of the pioneer city Gus
| ter) of the wonderful Black Hills of
South Dakota. Then came sweet strains
of music from the bands, followed by
Judge G.. M. Thomas who, in short
and very entertaining manner addressed
very appreciatiye audience. Rev. Mr..
Hancher of Hot Springs, General A. r.
q. Dawson and Prof. G.. L. Pinkham
then spoke in the order named, and we
regret exceedingly that space forbids a
verbatim report of the interesting ad-
dresses made by these gentlemen.
The train furnished by the b. & M.
was composed of six coaches, one COM
bination and one observation car, hauled
by two locomotives, every one OF which
had been thoroughly overhauled at Lin
coin previous to being sent here for the
occasion. The equipments were first
class in every particular. The train
/ was in charge of Conductor Z. A. O'Con-
ner, assisted by Mr.. Duckworth and
General Agent johnson, the latter as
supercargo. Engineer Il. Saryer, one Of
the best in the employ OF the company,
guided the train on the leading engine,
No, 260, followed by Engineer N.
Feighor on engine No. 258, also a first
class man, to all of whom the excursion
lists desire to return thanks, and express
the wish that the same gentlemen will
handle the train upon the next excur-
sion.
The excursionists desire to express
through the Times the very hearty APP
probation of the courtesy extended to
them by the officials Of the Elkhorr
company in furnishing them with free
transportation to and from DeadWood
connecting with the excursion train.

X. of p. at Madison.

Republican,: John r. Brennan re-
turned Sunday morning after an absence
of a week, during which time he has
been in attendance at the meeting of the
grand lodge Of the knights of Pythias,
held at Madison. He says the mystic
lodge proved to be everything in the
way of an entertainer and visiting
knights cannot speak in too high terms
of their treatment while there.
During the past year three new lodges
have been instituted in South Dakota,
with an increase of fully fifty per cent in
membership. Not a single lodge has
become defunct and all are hourishing
despite the hard times:
The supreme lodge of the world
Knights of Pythias will be held at Kan
sas City, August, 1892. This will be the
greatest secret society meeting ever held
i'll this country and South Dakota will
have two representatives in the persons
of Col. A. G. Phillips of Sioux Falls, and
Hon. John R. Brennan of this city.
During the opening exercises of the
session, W. III. Tinnerhoff, on behalf .oi
Tin Center Lodge, Hill City, presented
the grand lodge with tin gavel made
from tin taken from the HaEney Peak
| tin mines.
The next annual meeting of the grand
lodge will be held at Pierre, the first
Tuesday of June, 1892.

storm at Hot Springs Sunday.


From the Rapid City Journal the par
ticulars Of storm at Hot Springs Sum
day afternoon are learned and given be-
low. Prof. Foster calls the turn pretty
close on the weather, which makes his
prophesies of unusual interest.
The rain fell in sheets, and lasted two
hours, and was followed by severe hail
storm which broke out all windows Of
buildings on sides exposed. The greatest
damage to any one building was that Of
Fargo and Dickover in the lower town,
and not one pane of glass was left. The
glass in the skylights of this building
were one=quarter of an inch thick, but
they were all broken. In the upper
town the plunge bath house met the
same misfortune, and the 5,235 feet of
glass used in the construction of the
building will have to be replaced.
While the storm was at it's height, and
the large hail stones falling thick and
fast pandemonium reigned. The water
in Fall river was over its banks and the
food carried out the Elkhorn railroad
bridge three miles this side of Hot
Springs, cutting off communications
with the outside world.
The grade on the Burlington and
Missouri branch was damaged to con-
siderable extent, and in several places
along the canyon it was entirely de-
stroyed.

On May 2, 1890, Fred T. Evans Of
Hot Springs entered the Minnekahta
stone placer, at the falls OF Fall river.
A. G. Cleghorn claimed the land as agri-
cultural land, but Evans was allowed to
make mineral entry, the general land
Office then saying in these exact words:
''Lands chiefly valuable for deposits Of
building stone and containing no lodes,
or veins of granite or other rock in
place, may be entered as placer claim
Now comes an order from the general
land Office holding his mineral entry for
cancellation and saying 'land containing
stone useful only for general building
purposes is not subject to entry under
the mining laws" As there are many
other entries in this district called 'stone
placers," it becomes matter of interest
to know what will become of them.
