On the plea Of sickness he was allowed to

Ho. Springs Without a Bank.

The Minnekahta State Bank, at Hot

it is located. are now without banking

of the failure Of the First National some
months ago, that the Minnekahta would
break also, but it managed to weather
that portion of the financial disturbance
and has continued to do business until
a few days ago. States Attorney kellar,
acting for the county, recently asked
that the circuit court appoint receiver
for the institution, and similar request
was also made by a private claimant,
and these and other business difficulties
made it necessary for President Engles-
by to close the doors Of the bank. He
says that aside from the public money,
there is not more than 81 800 in deposits
and that the assets are sufficient to meet
all claims

To Complete the D. & w.

That there is still possibility that
the d. & w. railroad will be completed
from Rapid City to Mystic, where the
line crosses the B. & NJ, is evident from
the following item taken from the Rapid
City Journal of the 9th inst:
On Saturday evening a proposition
was submitted to number Of the cred
itors of the Dakota & Wyoming Rail
road Company which on the face Of it
looks fair and If accepted may insure the
early completion Of the road to Mystic.
The proposition submitted is that all the
creditors bind themselves to place their
claims with trust company in Chicago
to be held in trust until the road is COM
pleted and monev is realized from the
sale Of bonds when the same will be
paid, the company agreeing to complete
the line Of road and have il in operation
not later than July l. 1894, and also to
provide an additional locomotive, two
passenger coaches and twenty five
freight cars. Five stations are to be
constructed along the line Of road.
The people Of Rapid City are anxious
to have the road completed To an inter-
section with the Burlington system and
will no doubt give the railroad company
all the time necessary on the outstand-
ing indebtedness in which to complete
the line, IL satisfactory guarantee is fur
nished. The proposition 10 in the at
torneys' hands and il they decide that
Il is to the best interests Of their clients
TO accept 1t, no doubt satisfactory ar
rangements will be concluded.
The representatives Of the company
state that funds have been provided for
the completion of the road and placing
II in operation contingent upon securing
an early adjustment Of all outstanding
Indebtedness.

Drove the Last Spike.

The last spike on the Spearfish-
Englewood extension, Of the Burlington,
was driven yesterday afternoon at 2 p.
IN. The advent of the iron horse was
hailed with great demonstration by the
people Of that city, who clustered about
the end of the grade by the hundreds.
John A. Clark, the leading spirit of the
town, had an informal program of re-
ception ready for the event, hence when
he gave the word the people enthused,
and for few moments the air was full
Of cheers, band music and the scream
ing Of the steam whistle of the engine.
Then followed speeches by Mr.. Favorite
and others. the ceremonies concluding
by the ladies driving the last spike, each
OF the ladies taking lusty swing a: it
with the sledge. The road is now COM
plete with the exception Of bsllasting
the last mile and half The terminal
buildings, i. o. passenger and freight de-
pots and round house. will be completed
by the 18th of next month. Trains will
begin running on schedule time on the
10th of December. No idea of the
amount of fare to be charged is know n
as yet, but probably the regular 5 cents
mile will be imposed. The road is an
even forty miles one way from this city,
which would make, at cents, "a for the
round trip, but even at this price it is
much preferable to the ride of two hours
in an uncomfortable hack. through the
severe storms of winters. The route
taken from EngIewood to Spearfish by
this road cannot be equaled by any line
for the grandeur of its scenery, especi-
ally through Spearfsh canyon. From
one end to the other the road is a series
of sharp short curves, and steep inclines.
The Pioneer extends congratulations to
Spearfish and extends an invitation to
her people to come and see us when
you take your first ride in the "varnish
ed cars."-Pioneer.

Minister Willis, who was sent to
Hawaii dy the present administration,
ostensibly TO restore the deposed queen,
is pursuing course which is evidently
not satisfactory to the powers he rep
reseDts. The reports from the island
are to the effect that upon his arrival
there Willis found. much to his surprise,
that the provisional government was
supported by the most substantial and
intelligent element of the people. and
that the restoration of tie queen would
be triumph of barbarism over civiliza-
ton. These facts Willis has impaired
to the state department of the U. 8. gov
ernmcnt, and he refuses to take any
action until he receives further orders
This policy of the minister's has created
anything but favorable impression in
government circles at Washington,
where news Of the re-establishment of
the monarchy has been expected daily.
1t begins to look as if the president and
his secretary Of state will haye to modify
trifie, or run the machine alone.

A RESULT OF TARIFF TINKERING

The democratic tariff policy is already
bearing fruit, and since the ideas Of the
party leaders have taken definite form
In the Wilson bill, it has become more
and more evident that the change" is
not anticipated with any great degree
Of confidence or satisfaction by the
masses of the people whose interests now
hang in the balance. The following
special from West Superior, Wis, dated
Dec.4th, is only a fair sample Of the
reports which are coming from every
quarter Of the country:
The citizens Of the iron regions at
Hurley and roundabout, as well as in
some other mining localities, have got
up petitions to present TO President
Cleveland. and to-day Hurley forward
ed its appeal to the executive at Wash
ington. The paper recites the previous
healthy condition Of the mining indus
tries in northern Wisconsin, and their
almost entire paralysis at present; COM
pares the condition Of the miners then
and now, giving statistical information
as to the number of men employed,
their wage e-esrning power per month in
good times, expenditures Of mining
companies for timber, wood, tagging and
mining supplies, and the number Of men
employed in the procuring and trans
portation of these articles. The petit
ton then goes on to say that owing to
doubts, fears and uncertainty as to the
policy Of the general government re-
lative to the protection Of American in
dustries and American labor, and es
pecially as to the reported intention to
change the existing tariff schedules and
to class iron ore as raw material and
place il on the free list the mines have
been closed down to await the settle
meut Of tariff legislation, and that thou
sands of laborers have been thrown out
Of work and that much want and suffer.
ing exists in consequence"
1t is further stated that the expendi-
lures for the poor purposes have nearly
doubled, and that owing TO the stress of
winter weather they must he still great
ly increased. There is no probability
that work will be resumed until the
tariff question is finally settled or the
policy Of the government is definitely
defined. The miners argue that the
iron ore from the mines is the finished
product of the mining population; that
the finished product of the mines is the
raw material of the producers of pig
iron. and what is the finished product
of one industry is the raw material on
the next, and SO on, seriatim. They
, therefore protest against iron being
placed on the free list, and ask in the
name of prostrated industries and suf-
fering poor against the committing of
the government to policy which must
prove destructive TO the interests of
labor"

The St. John people are rejoicing over
the reduction of the duty on lime. The
ST. John Telegraph says:
There are some persons intimately ac-
quainted with the lime business Of st.
John, who predict that in very short
time after the new tariff goes into oper-
alton, the production of lime here will
be giving employment to thousands OF
men, and the export of lime will reach
more than ST 100000 in value annually.
1t is needless to say. that such a result
would give boom to the business of
the city, such as it has not experienced
since the decline of shipbuilding, and
that every interest in ST. John would be
favorably effected by it.
The Telegraph adds that many Rockland
capitalists will go to ST. John and engage
IN the lime business, their opportunities
for continuing at Rockland having been
killed by the reduction of duty. With
lumber on the free list and the duty on
lime greatly reduced the Wilson bill may
justly be styled a measure for trans
ferring the industries. of Maine to
Canada.

THE LUMBER TARIFF.

The Penobscot lumber baronsn have
met and appointed committee to go
to Washington and secure the modifica-
ton of that portion of the Wilson tariff
which puts lumber on the free list.
Among the gentlemen selected are quite
q number of Democrats who for the
past eight years have been voting
for the very thing that they
are now protesting against. Free
lumber has always been one of the
features of Democratic revision of the
tariff. 1t was in the Mills bill which
went, through a Democratic house and
was defeated in a Republican Senate,
and certainly no person of common sense
could have expected that it would be ex-
Guided from a bill based upon the tariff
plank of the last Democratic platform.
The Democratic lumber barons of the
Penobscot must have known, if they
know anything, that Democratic
triumph last fall would result in tariff
bill in which lumber would be Oh the
free list. Our assertion, therefore that
these Democratic professionals voted
deliberately for the thing they are kick
ing against is in strict accordance with
the truth. 1t would be exceedingly in
teresting TO be behind the door when the
committee calls upon Prof. Wilson, and
it's Democratic spokesman-for of course
Democrat will be selected for that
business-presentst the case of the robber
barons" of the Penobscot. The CONVEX
sation. we imagine, will rnu something
in this style:
Democratic Spokesman-Prof. Wilson.
we wish to call your attention to grave
injustice.done the proprietors OF the saw
mills along the Penobscot by the
lumber schedule of your tariff bill.
Prof. Wilson--In what does the inius-
tice of the lumber schedule consist?
Democratic Spokesman-In putting
lumber on the free list, thus exposing US
to the.ruinous competition of the poorly
paid labor of Canada.

From this each grave in order held
fewer and rougher tools till several of
the last-perhaps the graves of women
contained nothing but the ochre.
Seventy-five pieces IN all were found;
one curious stone shaped something like
net sinker with the addition of two
feet, seemed to represent a bird and was
probably made for toy; another inter
esting piece was much worn wheustone
which exactly fitted the curves of the
chlsels and gouges. These ,latter tools
when helu in the right hand were much
worn on the side towards one as they
would naturally strike in using A few,
however, were worn on the opposite side
and were evidently used by a left-hand
ed person.

surface was quite a quantity of bright
fresh charcoal. Mr.. Marks was much

con tinue his researches. He speaks of
the work as being most INTEREST," ng and
exciting.
