Mrs. VIM. Duff Haynie, and Mrs. j.
Castor, members ofthe board Of Worlds
Fair commissioners of South Dakota,
met with the ladies Of Custer, in the
parlors of the kleemann House, one
week ago last night, and discussed with
them the ACCESSIBILITY and propriety OF
the ladies of this county making an ex-
hibit at the great exposition next year.
The result of the conference was the
| organization Of a local board and the
election Of officers as follows: Presi.
dent, Mrs. A. 7. Feay vice president,
Mrs. ID. Carrigan secretary, Mrs. w. q.
Porter; treasurer, Mrs. I. l.. Taylor.
Tonight the board will meet with Mrs.
ID. Carrigan and plan definitely for the
work of preparing their exhibit. Aside
from the county exhibit, the ladies
wish to make one which shall represent
the city Of Custer alone. and the
plan which they have already formulat-
ed, will, if put into execution, result in
something very nice and novel. The
ladies propose to have erected a nina
ture Queen Anne cottage, the material
to be pink and white quartz, and black
tourmaline. The windows are to be of
of mica, and the decorations of mica
schist and some of the highly colored
rock in which this part of the country
abounds. As previously stated this
feature Of the Custer county exhibit will
be something new and novel, and will
doubtless be given a conspicuous place
in the South Dakota Building, and will
attract much attention.

Melbourne's rain making representa-
tiyes were supposed TO have been at
ilermosa Wednesday or Thursday, ready
TO shake the moisture from the clouds.
Wednesday afternoon storm clouds
gathered, and in the evening there was
quite a copious fall of rain at Custer and
vicinity. East and north of us the pre-
cipitation is said TO have been much
heavier. If on that day the rain pro-
ducers made their tests, the storm was
very good evidence of the efficiency Of
the process, as the past two or three
weeks have been very dry.

Custer Fire and Hose Co. No. ], Mt its
last regular meeting decided to ask tue
board Of trustee ofthe town to purchase
a chemical engine with the necessary
equipment, all OF which is so badly
needed by the city, as protection
against ordinary fires at least. The
company's request is to be in the form
of a petition. and accompanying twill
be a promise to pay the freight on the
apparatus, if il is purchased, build a suit
able buildiug In which it can be kept,
and at all times take the best of care OF
the property. Custer needs something
with which to protect herself against
fires or conflagrations, and we believe
that in tho past when repeatedly urging
this need we have voiced the senti-
ments OF the majority Of the citizens Of
the town. In a few months another
winter will be upon us with its added
dangers along this line, and II seems to
us that now would be a good time to
prepare to meet them. 1t is estimated
that the engine, with chemicals, hose,
ladders, etc, could be purchased for
about sl,l00, and the town can certainly
afford to make such an investment ut
this time. A city DR. town built mp more
or less with frame structures. is always
in danger, and it is not at all unlikely
that the engine would save the price Of
itself, and much more the fret year.
The fire and Hose Co. has recently in
corporated at considerable expense, and
under the circumstances its proposition
is q very. liberal one. When the petit
ton is presented, the trustees should
consider il carefully, and act az they
think the best interests OF Custer de-
mands. III the petition should he cir
culated among the citizens and freely
signed by them. there Is hardly a doubt
but that the board would comply with
its requests.

Hank Lovett, the notorious cattle
%rustler. so well known in Dakota and
Wyoming, and especially in this county,
has been killed once more. This time
he met his death near Leander. Wyo.,
and the scrimmage which resulted SO
disastrously TO him, was over a woman.
He was ambushed by a nan named
Walker. and received a load of buckshot
in his vitals. Such is the story which is
going the rounds. Hank may be dead,
out it is very likely that ere many
moons, a lively ghost that resembles
him, will make way with somebody's
bunch of hoofs and horns.
