The Juvenile Cantata.

"The Happy Family of Father Time,ss
the highly pleasing juvenile can:ata,
presented at the opera house on Tues
day evening. under the auspices OF the
NJ. E. Aid Society, proved TO be the
most elaborate in it's appointments. the
most perfect in its rendition and the
most enjoyable in its realization of all
the numerous Juvenile entertainments
previously presented before a Custer
audience.
We say this without the symptom Of
an intention to cast discredit upon the
many really creditable exhibitions Of
this character which have been pre-
sented in the past, but simply as mat
ter of justice to those who labored so
long and faithfully to make it the sue.
cess it was. which demands statement

The company comprised, in addition
to Father Tune, . character most ably
represented by Mr.. M. 4. Bailey, abou,
forty elegantly costumed little girls, and
young Misses. with ages ranging from
four to sixteen. and possibly upward
with slight sprinkling Of very small
boys. whose rare proficiency in the rem
dition of their respective roles ELECTED

The Mother Lode.

Major A. j. Simmons, of Keystone
mine notoriety. is in print with an
elaborate theoretical dissertation on the
geological formation Of the Hills, in
which he seeks to show the existence of
what he is pleased to call the great
Mother lode Of the Black Hills, which
he AYERS to be similar In all essential
respects to the great Mother lode of
California. AS to the existence of this
magnitudiuous maternal source Of our
woudrous mineral wealth, we have
nothing to offer pro or con, but mother
lode. or no mother lode. there is at least
a crum Of comfort in his closing obser-
vations touching upon the rosy prospects
of future golden acquisitions resulting
from the further development Of the
mines of the southern Hills, which
reads thus:
ain the light of the recent develop
ments. it is no idle boast to say that on
this formation will be found the future
mainstay of the Black Hills country
Like the great Mother Lode of Califor.
mia, the Mother lode Of the Black Hills
has been little understood, but recent
experiments and practical demonstra
tions in California prove that with q
more intelligent direction of work and
prospecting it will prove, as its great
prototype is proving, to be one Of the
greatest gold producing sections Of like
era ever discovered in the history o.
mining. Mines which years ago were
worked. and abandoned as played out
are to-day producing properties, expert
ence having taught prospectors and
owners that little exploration of theil
property would prove beneficial. and il
every instance where greater depth hal
been attained on these played out mine'
good ore bodies have been struck. Som,
of the most notable instances of III,
played out mines proving productive
are to be found in the Standby, Grissl.
Bear. Minnesota. Old Charley and Cutt,
Sark. and many others may be mention
cd, on all of which recent development
haye proved the wisdom OF mnkin,
deeper. The Mother lode Of Californis
indeed, has Its counter l...rt in tine Blac
Hills, and the time 10 not far distan
when paying ore bodies will be worke'
along its entire length"

served as Memorial Day Twentv-six
years ago John A, Logan, commander
in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re
public, in General Orders No. II, inaugu-
rated Memorial Day. In that general
order we were directed that 'if other ewes
grow dull, and other hands slack, and
other hearts cold in the solemn trust. we
shall keep it well as long as the light and
warmth OF life remains in us" His wishes
and instructions have been faithfully
obeyed, and as his successor | cali upon
you, my comrades, to AGAIN discharge the
most solemn duty.
g Each year our lines grow shorter
here, while they lengthen on the other
side. We have more graves to decorate
and fewer comrades to discharge the duty.
Realizing this, let us inyite all the people
especially the Woman's Relief Corps
Sons of Veterans and children of the
public schools, to unite with us in the
service. In no better way can we teach
lessons of patriotism and prepare those
who are to take our places for the high
and responsible duties of American
citizens.
3. The commander-in-chief endorses
most heartily the plan that has been very
generally adopted in late years, that of
the attendance of the posts of our organi-
zation upon some form of divine worship
the Sabbath preceding Memorial day
Ihls ls a beautiful custom and posts are
urged to make arrangements for attend
ance upon some such service at least
once on Sunday, May 29th. Let the com
rades appear in uniform, with their badges
and cOlurs, invited, if eXpedient, the Sons
OF Veterans to act as escort, and the pres
ence of the Woman's Relief Corps striv-
ing in every way to make this a fitting
preliminary to our great service of mem
Ory and eXaltatiOn to that magnificent
and loyal army of heroes of a grateful
nation.
4. Chaplains of posts are directed to
report to the Chaplain.in Chief through
the Department Chaplains, on special
blanks thai will furnish for this purpose
the number of graves decorated and all
matters of interest connected with the
observance of the day.

Notes of Interest TO Candidates and Their
Friends.
J. Harry James, of Ashland, denies that
he is a candidate for Congress.
Candidates for offices, to be filed next
fall, are becoming very numerous.
We have heard very little lately con
cerning Editor Doyle's candidacy for a
Legislative Office
Click OF Girardyille who is seeking
the Republican nomination for Sheriff is
hustling among his friends.
Messrs. Coyle and Davis were in Har-
risburg last week. If they were election
eering they were out of their bailiwick.
They say the devil was a politician and
IL cannot be doubted when the devilish
tricks of some people are exposed.
1t is feared that when the Fourth Leg
islative convention meets there'll be more
candidates than delegates present.
All is quiet along the line in the Demo
cratic party. The outlook is too drearv
to warrant any of the party becoming
enthusiastic.
1t would not surprise us if the opposing
candidates for the Senatorship should be
the same as for the Representative in this
district two years ago-COyle and Reilly.
Mello surrendered his ships because Of
an absolute lack of resources" The
Democracy being in much the same pre-
dicament, there is an example which it
would do well to follow.

He was plainly but not shabbily dressed.

May be he was prepared for the answer:
Certainly, take a seatn As soon as
the proprietor had supplied him with hot

man and his boy guide, all of whom had
the means to buy n meal and were in this
respect better off than the new conner. the

which is now very numerous in Philadel-

COLLECTOR RESTRAINED.


The Court Decides Against Gnber, on
Building Tax.
In the case of Gilbert et al VS. Tax
Collector Thomas Terney, of Gilberton,
Judge Bechtel yesterday handed down a
decision restraining the collector from
collecting a building tax of three mills
The question at issue was whether the
tax was really a building tax, or a tax to
make repairs. The real object of the tax
was to put a steam heating plant i'm a
new building and the plaintiffs claimed
it was unauthorized and illegal. The
court says the temporary injunction must
continue at least until the court finds
out what action the School Board of Gill
berton took with relation to steam heat
ing. There was nothing before the court
to show that it had taken any such
action, and this was necessary to make
a levy Of the tax legal

TO select a third.
