MininR Items.

The Cambria, Wyoming, mines were
closed by a strike tins week. The EN-.
ployes demanded a 10 per cent increase
in their wages.
Two enormous steam pumps arrived
Wednesday for the Hsrney Peak Com

charge pipe of the smaller one has a
diameter of six inches, the larger seven
inches. The two pumps complete,
weigh 10000 pounds. The smaller one
was taken to the Cowboy mine yester-
day. As the roads are not settled it
took six Of the largest horses In the
county to move 1.-THE four big compa.

every reason to so believe. That if such

CUSTER CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY. MAY %. 1892

The presidential situation is rather
complicated just at this time. While
Harrison's following seems just as strong
as ever, the Blaine movement seems to
be taking definite form and in number
of localities the man from Maine is
being doomed for the nomination.
Blaine's firm, unqualified declination Of
the nomination is still fresh in the
minds of the masses, and unless he an
nounces that he is a candidate with
equal frankness, hosts of his friends
will not believe he is in the race, and
hence will not endorse him. Harris
on's administration has been a clean
one, and he is an avowed candidate for
denomination. Mr. Blaine is really his
only opponent and he has firmly de-
clined to allow his name to be used.
The nomination of the former at Mime
apolis, one week from Wednesday, will
very naturally be expected. However,
that same convention may do something
altogether unexpected.

THE SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.
The Final Exercises by the Members Of
the Custer Schools q Grand
Success.

Long before the audience commenced
to gather in Garlock's opera house last
Saturday evening every seat in the
building had been sold at reserved
prices, and standing room was eagerly
sought after Our people appreciate

The individual recitations were given
by Miss Grace Johnesse, who spoke

"The Battle;' and Ebert Ward, aim a

To each of the above mentioned parts,
the audience responded with hearty ap-
plause, and the cheers that followed
little Ebert Ward off the stage fairly
shook the house. Miss Johnesse's Sc
lection was one Of the most difficult
ever written, and yet it was given with
out an error, and almost as much can be
said of the other young ladies whose
experience has of course been more
limited. Mark Booths recitation was
one that required an immense amount
of labor in preparation, and that he had
spared no time or effort was evinced by
his graceful gestures and faultless deliv-
cry.
"The Bells" concert recitation by
pupils Of the intermediate department,
and "Our Work" by class from the
primary, were splendid. The girls and
boys had their parts we'll committed
and kept perfect time.
Little Girls Troubles" was given by
number Of little ladies from the primary
department, who with their doll families
appeared before the audience, and to
their listeners and to each other related
the trials and tribulations that were
overtaking them in their domestic life.
1t was incomparably cute and brought
down the house.
"see Saw" was played by pupils of
the lower departments who teetered to
the time of the quaint juvenile air,
while number of others in the back
ground sang it.
"Swing Cradle Swing" was sang very
sweetly by little Miss Blanche Reder
while she rocked her dolly to sleep with
maternal care and gentleness.
Master Dean Orr sang Cock a doodle

made great hit, the audience appreciat

ing boys from the intermediate and
primary departments sang Jolly Boys"
with strong, clear voices and expressive
gestures.
A class prophecy was read by Miss
May Nudge. who in the composition Of

the prophecy had entered thesuncertain
domain Of the future and acquired q
knowledge Of what it holds for her class
mates. II was nicely written, and the
numerous descriptions were loudly ap-
plauded as they were read.
If there wss any envy engendered
during the evening it was in the hearts
Of the X. p. boys during the progress OF
the fan drill. This very interesting
feature Of the program was given by
eleven young ladies Of the high school
and intermediate departments. dressed
in costumes of red, white and blue and
armed with fans They executed the
difficult figures of a long and exhausting
drill with hardly an error, and expires.
sions OF surprise and approval at the
degree OF perfection attained by the
young ladies were heard on every side.
A classical instrumental duett was
rendered at the piano by Mrs. n. r.
Hitchcock and Miss Clara Albien, and a
number Of other instrumental Duets
and solos interspsrsed the program. All
we're very fine.
The program was very long one. and

year, and the CHRONICLE takes the liber-

Never was there more candid ac-
acknowledgement, of the benefits Of pro-
lection of home industries than that
made by Lord Salisbury, the English
premier, in recent speech at Hastings.
The premier stated in unmistakable
language that in England free trade had
proven failure, and added: Fifty
years ago, everybody believed that free
trade had conquered the world and
prophesied that every nation would
follow the example of England. The
results, however, are not what had been
expected. Despite the prophesies of
the free trade advocates foreign nations
are adopting protection. They are ex-
cluding us from their markets and are
trying to kill our trade. And this state
of things appears to grow worse. An
important point is that while nations
are negotiating TO obtain each others
commercial favor, none is anxious about
the favor OF Great Britain, because
''o"s D'atoih uos obtippch nSfSel vi tut'
armour and weapons with which the
battle is to be fought. The attitude we
have taken in regarding it disloyal to
the glorious and sacred doctrines Of free
trade to levy duties on anybody for the
sake of anything we get thereby, may be
noble, but it is not business-like. On
these terms you will and do get nothing"
Lord Salisbury has reputation as a
great statesman at stake, and he has not
taken this bold step without due con-
sideration. He realizes fulIy that in
order to prevent complete demorali-
zation of her commerce, Great Britain
must emulate the splendid example set
by the United States, France and other
prosperous nations. and he is willing to
be the Moses who will lead his people
out Of the wilderness of unsatisfactory
theories, up into the realm of broad
ideas, and sound, practical policies.

Less than $4,000 is now required to
complete the Grant monument fund.

The complete accounts of the Sioux
City food disaster, which have been
received this week go to show that
while bad enough, it was not nearly as
serious as first reported. Between
twenty and thirty lives were lost, and
the value of property destroyed is in
the neighborhood of Sl,000,0OO. The
food was caused by a water spout up
the Floyd river, and had the rise occur
red a few hours earlier. when the peo-
pie were sleeping, the loss Of life would
have been much greater. Sioux City
has been sorely stricken, but already
she is recovering from the effects of the
blow, and in few weeks her streets
will be as clean and her people as busy
as ever,

There was at one time a wonderful

green stone exactly like the emerald

been called the mother of emerald.
Aquamarine is a beryl-in other

The Greatest Mistake Of All.

Some people have an unfortunate
propensity to brood over what they
call the mistakes" of their lives. It
arises from false estimate of human
Judgment and an overstrained idea
of the responsibility of their actions.
A conscientious woman of middle
age wrote to friend, II am glad to
be spared longer life, that l may
spend it in repenting my past mis-
takes" Tospend ones time in lament
ing past mistakes seems the worst
mistake Of ALL Life is short at the
longest There is little time to
dream Of doing, less to mourn over
what has been done. To act, to act
quickly, to act up to our best in
stincts and higher aspirations, is all
we can do. 1t is all that is expected.
After that our responsibility ceases,
and the final result belongs only to
God.
The good woman above quoted had
always acted according to her best
Judgment. But, being human judg
ment, it was fallible. Being human
she could not foresee the conse-
quences Of her actions, but could
only do as seemed right at the time.
Now If she was called upon to act to-
day, what better could she do than
that3 Then why regret that she SO
acted before2-Harper's Bazaar.

was Spanish prisoner, and on being

that he was invulnerable The sol
