Custer Responds Literally.

Capt. &. V. Gardner, of the Black
Hills Worlds Fair Commission, met the
citizens of Custer at the court house last
Saturday, and pointed out the necessity
of the people of South Dakota taking
immediate steps to secure a building for
the states exhibit on the Exposition
grounds. Tie legislature refused TO
make an appropriation last winter, but
it is believed that the next one will be
more public spirited and make pro.
vision for the funds required. However,
the state cannot wait until then, as the
building must be erected this fall, and
the citizens of South Dakota have taken
the matter in hand. They have organi-
zed themselves into one large company,
and are giving their individual notes
for the 5000 required for the exhibit.
These notes are to be taken i'm trust by
different banks of the state and the
funds raised in this way. The le,isla.
ture will be asked to make an appropri-
alton next winter, and if il consents the
signers OF the notes will be released
from their obligations. If the appropri-
alton is not made, each man will be
called upon to pay. the face of the note
but there is little doubt IN this direction.
The Black Hills have been called upon
to raise $4,000. OF this amount Custer
county's share is 5000, and of this Custer
has already raised over $500. c. w.
Robbins made the canvas Tuesday.

The Sun Cholera Cure.

At this time when the dreadful
scourge, Assiatic Cholera, is devastating
Europe and threatening to invade the
United States, every one does well to be
provided with some simple remedy
which may prove Of inestimable value
in case of emergency. The New York
Journal Of Commerce has called atten-
ton to what is known as the "Sun
Cholera Cure" and comments on il as
follows:
More than twenty years ago, when il
was found that prevention of cholera
was easier than cure, a prescription
drawn up by eminent doctors al pub
lished in the Sun, and it took the name
Of the Sun cholera medicine.
Our contemporary never lent its name
to a better article. We have seen il in
constant use for nearly two score years,
and found it TO be the best remedy for
looseness of the bowels ever yet devised,
We commend il 10 all our friends
Even when no cholera is anticipated il
is an excellent remedy tor ordinary
summer complaints, collie, diarrh@a
~dysentery, etc.
