II seems that The man who was here
a few weeks ago, representing himself to
be an enlarger of portraits. was a
swIndler with a scheme. the very
shallowness Of which, was the secret of
it's success. The Deadwood Times de-
scribes the manner in which he duped
his would be patrons. Some time ago
a fellow representing himself to be an
agent for a picture enlarging firm of
Omaha, struck the city and reaped a
rich harvest by victimizing a large num-
Der of our citizens. His game was the
old hoary one Of taking orders for the
enlargement OF pictures. his innocent
dupes paying down in advance, SIS, he
taking the picture to be enlarged and
their money. they simply having his
word that the picture with q handsome
gilt frame would be forwarded to them
in thirty days c. O. ID. Some of his
dupes have waited three months but
have not received their pictures. This
is not the first time the people of the
Hills have been taken in. Only last
summer the same game was worked TO
advantage by a smooth individual from
st. Paul. Many Of this fellows vic
Tins fell an easy prey to this last one"
He evidently did not succeed in doing
any business in Custer, as we have not
heard anyone kicking.

Sunday last was recommended by the
Russian Relief Commission of South
Dakota as the day upon which contri-
buttons to the relief fund should be re-
ceived in the churches of the state.
The ministers of Custer believed that
"A mass meeting of citizens would attract
the largest audience and create the
greatest interest in the cause, and ac-
cordingly IN was announced TO be held
in Gariock's opera house Sabbath even
ing. The meeting was called to order
at 8 o'clock by Chairman McFadden,
and the audience, which represented
about one-third of the population of the
city, was addressed by Reys. Tracy and
Willis, Buel r. Wood and w. II. Frye.
The gentlemen in their remarks stated
the reason why this appeal TO the 8, tn
pathy and generosity Of the American
people had been made, and eloauently
portrayed, as nearly as words can, the
terrible destitution and the awful suf.
fering that has been the result of the
failure of the cereal crop of eastern Rus
STA. The speeches were i~nterspersed
with musical selections. At the close OF
the meeting the hat was passed and the
response was liberal, the collection
amounting to S3l. Fonr dollars were
raised in the school last Friday, and
there are many in the town who as yet
have had no opportunity 10 contribute.
Anyone who may wish to should call
upon T. w. Delicate, who has been
made the director of the Relief Com
mission for the western part ofCuster
county. Custer City's contributions
should reach 500, and we believe il
will. Times have been hard and money
close, it's true, but who of us can not
afford to spare the few dollars or cents
that VIII save a human life. Everyone
should feel a personal responsibility j in
this matter. Don't wait 10 see what
