Parties desiring to go to Wind cave
Tuesday, for Chautauqua benefit, and
who have not their own conveyance,
are requested to drop postal card to
j. W., ID. Anderson.
Commissioner Craven informs us
that their Telephone mine near Hill
City is showing up mu.:h better than
they expected. They bonded 1T recently
for $4,000 and will shortly open it up
for business.
The case Of Tom Butler, who was
arrested on Monday night for disturb
ing the peace came up for hearing be-
fore Justice Kanable Wednesday and
it was bnshel Of fun. Neither the
state nor the defendant were repre-
sented by counsel and the court con.
Quoted the examination himself. The
defendant pleaded his own case with
such vigor and presented the evidence
with such clearness and effect that he
was found not guilty and discharged
from custody.
I We were permitted to see the little
electric motor lately used in the
Hatchet office, work brand new
Knowles triplex pump at the Mime
kahta bath house. 1t is used for
pumping water into the reservoir at
the soldiers home and we must say it
is the perfection of noiseles> power. A
stream equal to ten gallons a min
lutte is forced up the long hill without
as much noise as the running of a
sewing machine. The home will no
longe: complain about water. 1t is
certainly wonderful what our electric
power is doing.

Have you ever seen the Wind cave?
Do you know that you can travel in
that mammoth cave for four solid
weeks, ten hours day, and not see
ali the wonders it contains? Do YOU
know that when you leave Hot Springs
people wherever you go will ask you
about Wind cave, and wonder that YOU
neglected to see it? Do you know
that you can now walk to the Garden
of Eden as easily as you can Walk on
top the ground. and that every step of
the way willbe through wonderland? {?
Do yon know that the most delicate
lady can now make the Garden of
Eden trip without injury to her health
or feelings? Do you know that if
YOU fail to see the Wind cave next
Tuesday you will fail to help the Chau-
tanqna assembly, as Messrs. Mcdonald
and Stabler donate the entrance fee
on that day? If YOU don't know these
things. come around and we'll tell
you.
Night brings me dreams of silver
streams that murmur through the
wildwood, and sylvan dales and quiet
wales where once roamed. in child.
hood; seemed to see the mighty tree
whose boughs l yet remember, the
pond where swan in July and slsated
in December. Oh, vision blest Of
peace and rest, the sunny days and
gladness; when breaks the dawn you
are all gone ard am left in sadness.
For morning brings the weary things
that | must know forever, the burning
street, the toiling feet, the long and
fierce endeavor; the bills to pay, the
words to say that so oft have spoken,
the loads to pack until my back is
pretty nearly broken. If men could
snooze for months and lose no time in
bitter waking, this life would be a
thing of glee and hearts would not be
breaking.-Walt Mason.

The writer spent day in the sand
hills of Nebraska Friday. where the
valleys are covered with growth of
fine blue stem grass that in many
places wonld yield three tons Of hay to
the acre. The present price of hay is
enormous, not only here but all over
this country, and Europe is sending
over for our hay in large quantities.
Here are millions of acres of the best
of hay going to waste every year.
Why can't it be made the source Of
big speculation to some of our dis
couraged farmers? If we were fixed
