Lady of Lyons.

At Garlock's opera house in this city,
on the evening Of Thursday, August
18th, the Custer Dramatic Club will
present that difficult and romantic
drama LADY of Lyons" The club has
not favored the Custer public with all
entertainment for a long time. but for
many weeks has been busily engaged in
preparing to put this play on the boards,
and we venture TO assure the theatre
goers Of this city, that next Thursday
evening they will be rewarded for their
long season of waiting.
From the cast of characters it will be
seen that all the local artists who in the
past have won strong commentator for
their work on the stage, will take part
in this, the crowning effort of the club.
The names of +, J. V. Rutkowski, +. II.
Flynn, NJ. A. Willis, Mrs. f. 0. Burton
and Mrs. j. +. Smith, assures us that
this entertainment will be of an order
high above those usually given by anna
teur combinations or ordinary travelling
troupes.

1t becomes our very painful duty to
give, as briefly as possible, an account of
game of something. supposed to have
been base ball, played on the home
grounds Thursday afternoon, between
nine young men Of Custer, and an aggre-
CATION of equal numbers from Hill City.
Our boys didn't go into the game ex-
pecting to win, but they and their ad-
mirers did expect that they would be in
1t, somewhere or other. Were they :?
Just listen to this: During the first four
innings the contest was a close and ex-
citing one, the odds being slightly in
Clusters favor, but in the fifth the cur
tain rose on something quite different,
and the tragedy part of the play was
rung on and enacted. Suffice it to say
that at the fourth the score stood to 6
In Clusters favor. but that at the close of
the game it was "a TO z, and Hill town
had the two figures. When Hill City
went to bat in the fifth the home team
went to pieces and the pieces hayn't been
found yet. If they are found they'll be
too small to save, 80 don't look for them,
In that one inning the visitors crossed
the plate just ten times, and so on
through the rest ofthe game they picked
up tallies in groups of two's three's and
four's, until the ninth, when for some un-
accountable reason, they neglected to get
man around the diamond. Custer
didn'tloose any of her seven scores in
the last five innings, she took mighty
good care of them, but a young man
named Coats, who has a faculty for nam
In cher people PANTS" was in the box,
al saw to it that that seven didn't get
any bigger. Mr.. Coats is dandy. Dur
ing the seven innings he pitched, only
one run was made. We would not at
tempt to account for this overwhelming
defeat, but in justice to the boys it shauld
be said that they were minus their catch
er and short stop, and entirely o..s Of
practice. We hope to have a different
story to tell next time.

The democratic howl bout the fifty
first congress and its appropriations
amounting to billion dollars, will prob
ably be heard no more. The appropria-
tions of the fifty-second congress, (dem
ocratic) during its first session, exceed
those of the corresponding session of the
preceding congress, (republicon) be
tween forty-three and forty-four mill
ions Of dollars. And yet our democratic
friends have talked economy untiringly,
and Watch Dog Holman has been in his
element. Democratic ascendency in
some branches of the government i.
something to be desired occasional y 1t
giyesthe people an opportunity to judge
the two parties, and witness practical il
lustrations of the policies advanced by
each. Perhaps it cannot be charged that
this democratic congress has been ex-
travagant, but the record Of appropria-
tions has demontrated the fact that it
takes an immense amount of money to
conduct the affairs of this government,
and the talk about republican robbery of
the treasury is mere twaddle, used in the
absence of substantial political capital.

Gen. Weaver's affection for the dem
ocratic party is sufficiently warm to
cause considerable comment. Some ex.
tracts from the generals speeches, are
particularly noticeable. In a recent
public address he referred to the party
in the following endearing terms: "What
is the use Of further arraigning the de.
funct democracy, with all its hoary
crimes, at the bar OF public opinion
We know that its acts comprise murder,
treason. theft, arson, fraud, perjury and
all crimes possible for an organization
to connive at. 1t would be a mercy to
put its record a million miles deep in
the pit that is mentioned in holy writ
and may add that if large and dis
tinguishsd assortment of its alleged
statesmen were sent along it would only
be common Justice" No wonder dem
ocrats and independents are so bent on
fusion. No wonder that it is impossible
for them to be antagonistic when the
standard bearer of one speaks so highly
of the other. The democrats of South
Dakota would be ungrateful indeed did
they refuse to vote the independent
electoral ticket next November.

The democratic house passed hill
providing for the importation of lead,
free of duty. This was done in the in
terests of the ''poor people," Let's see
how it would work were it to become
operative. 10000 men are employed in
the United States mining lead and get
ting it ready for use. The principal
consumers are the smelters of the coun-
try. In Old Mexico thousands of men
are engaged in like occupation and are
paid for their labor less than one-third
of the wages paid to the miners in the
United States. Had this measure be-
come law the product of Mexico would
have flooded the states, lead would have
been sold TO the smelters at reduced
price for time, and 10000 Of our miners
would have lost their jobs. Will the
people say God bless the democratic
house that passed the free lead bill, and
curse the republican senate and presi-
dent, that prevented its becoming a
law? We guess not.

The board oftrustees met in special
session last Wednesday evening to take
action in regard to the petition, which
had been presented TO that body, asking
that an election be called TO vote on the
question of bonding the town in the sum
OF fifteen hundred dollars, that amount
to be expended in the purchase of
chemical fire engine. The board under
standing that there was more or less
opposition to such movement on its
part, very wisely concluded to call
mass meeting of citizens, to determine
what the wish of the majority Of the tax
payers is, and such meeting will be
held in the court house next wednes-
day evening, August 18th. And 80 the
matter rests at'this time. AS we stated
last week, those who oppose the prayer Of
this petition, or the majority at least,
desire that the town should be bonded
in larger sun. and system OF water
works put in this fall This could be
done only at an expense of at least
5000 or $4,000, and many of the tax
payers object to assuming such burden
just at this time. II is further argued
that while chemical engine, and an
efficient fire company would afford
protection from fire to all parts of the
town, water works, put in on a scale
which We could afford, would protect
only the business portion of the town,
and that consequently the former is
necessary even if we have the latter.
The CHRONICLE looks at the matter in
this light: That il we can put up 5000
to $4,000 for water works, we can stand
an additional 81, 500 for an engine, and
suggest that We have both. However,
now while the public mind is interested,
let something be done. Strike while
the iron is hot, and don't let differences
of opinion as regards the proper means,
affect the final result. We all realize
that something Of the kind is necessary,
and let us take TIE steps required to Sc
cure it. 1t is the duty of every tax
payer Of Custer to be present at the
mass meeting next Wednesday evening,
and take such action as his judgment
will dictate is for the best interests of
the town which is his home,

The real regard OF the democratic
party for the independents crops out oc.
cassionally. The only democratic daily of

are each scrambling for plunder, and
glorying in the sounds of their own
vaporings." OF its own party, this

improves, and that 1t Is wise TO keep the
surface of our fields mulched as great a
part or the year as possible. The effect of
thorough mulching Of the soil for a single
season Is often wonderful. Mr.. Harlan, in
his book on Farming with Green Manures, y
refers 20 the fact that an old barn door
thrown down on poor field and left for a
year. produced such an effect on the
son, that for some years after one would
have supposed TO look at the field, that
load of rich manure had been
SPREAD there. A member OF the farmers
club to which | belong had field which
for several crops yielded but twenty
bushels of corn to the acre. but finally get
ting fine stand OF clover on it, he
allowed all the growth to remain on the
Held for an entire summer, aud his next
crop of corn produced sixty bushels per
acre, and for several succeeding crops hs
saw profitable effects from this treatment
have experimented enough with shaded
soil to convince me that one will get more
benefit from clover crop to keep the land
covered all summer even though the crop
is all removed and utilized, than to plow
under the entire growth i'll June, and leave
the land bare the rest of the summer.
When we cut a crop twice, once for hay
and once for seed, il the season is favorable
for growth. the land will be bore but few
days after it is cut for hay, and when 1t is
cut for seed the sickle can usually be set
high, and in securing the seed most of the
leaves crumble Off, so that a fairly good
mulch is left on the land, and a fall growth
soon comes up to cover it again.
For nearly twenty years the agricultural
editor of this paper has urged upon our
southern farmers a realization Of the fact
that the only sure and economical plan for
restoring the futility Of their long Guilt
waited soils consisted in a proper use, in ro-
tation, of those grasses, clovers or other
leguminous plants that would rapidly restore
that Indispensable humus that had become
exhausted, and without which valuable
crops could not be produced. We can but
think that If our farmers ten or fifteen years
ago, bad recognized the necessity of bring
ing in, in a proper rotation. the grasses and
clovers adopted to the purpose, and had di-
vided fairly with improved pastures and
meadows, adding the necessary stock, they
would not have been In the condition they
are to-day.
