:. The Burlington line has put on the
through sleeper to Chicago, and the
elegant chair cars, of which the STAR
mentioned few weeks ago. This is a
grand system of railway, that never
does anything by halves.
A section man on the B. & M. was
badly crushed by beng run over by a
hand-car Sunday, between the abdo-
men and Hill Clty.-Deadscood Pioneer.
Indeed the man must be seriously hurt
for running over either place means
almost certain death.
There was a rain makers convention

that was then falling and had been

This has been week of miserable
weather, with rain and snow. 1t has
been almost impossible to get about.
1T is probably safe to estimate that
about four feet of snow has fallen, but
it melted nearly as fast as it fell, and
there was not over 20 or 81 inches on
the ground at any one time.
Frank and Will Thayer and c. r.
Cushman, with their wives, returned
this week from hunting expedition
into Nebraska. They have been ont
ever SINCE the unpleasant weather be-
gan, and have had the hardest kind of
luck, so far as capturing geese and
ducks is concerned. Yet there We're
many pleasant incidents connected
with the trip.
Last fall Rev. Cook, an Indian
preacher from Pine Ridge agency,
made a trip to several towns in the
Hills in company with Bishop Hare,
and assisted in the confirmation SER
vices of the Episcopal church. His
eloquence and ability was subject of
much comment. 1t will grieve those
who then met him to learn Of his un-
timely death at the agency on the 18th
inst.

son Is mail agent on the Deaiwood
and Lincoln r. P. o., and has invented
mail sack fastener that does away
with the strap, and the sack can be
locked in one fourth the time that the
present sack requires. He is making
an effort to have the government
adopt it, and it certainly has the APP
pearance of being an invention that
would fill long felt want.

were Mrs. Booker, Mrs. Barnard, Mis-
Green and a little child named Rim

dangerous place, and one has to keel
pretty close watch in driving along tn
road in that locality.
