THERE are high lights of reform
in this end of the Territory, and
some of them candidates for Office
on the Populist ticket, making
themselves hoarse telling about
the dishonesty and extravaganza
of the Democrats, who might a
tale unfold concerning their own
connection with the administration
of finances of this county. To be-
gin with, the job through which
the county was made to pay $4,000
for the building now used as a
court house when private parties,
it was currently reported at the
time, could have bought it fol-
$4,000, would be interesting to lis
ten to. Then why county war
rants were peddled around at 81
to so cents on the dollar by small
holders while large holders funded
them into bonds and realized theil
face would also tell well. These
gentlemen were Democrats, it i:
true, when these things were going
on; they are not now: the party has
shed them. OF course the success
of reform" means a return to the
ancient practices of the reformers
unknown to the county since i
has been controlled by the straigh
Democracy.

WOULD our esteemed contemporary at
the county seat mind explaining how
much and in what the exemption from
taxation for limited time Of the prop
erty of corporation which has made
values for lands in vast section whers
they had none before has added any
thing to the burdens of the tax payers
of this or any other county, except as
the amount-not the burden-of taxes
rises with increased property values?
The law about which it roars-and it
didn't roar till it was prompted to do SO
for the sake of making political capital
against Mr.. Hinkle out of the fact that
he voted for the law-was not Demo
cratic measure; but it was one that was
of direct advantage to the whole Terri
tory and particularly to the southeast.
No good Democrat favors laws Of this
kind as general propositions; and had
the intent of this statute been to exempt
valuable property already in existence
from lis just proportion of the public
burdens, there could be but one course
open to Democrats in reference to it
unqualified condemnation of it, But
this law does nothing of the kind. II
simply says to capital Gentlemen, we
need your assistance. We have vast
possibilities Of wealth, room for happy
homes for million people. But Natule

ton is such, that our resources are as

There is Il strong probability that if the
United States does not soon take up
and complete the Nicaragua canal.
French capital will complete the Panama
canal, with modified plans. 1t would
be much to the advantage of all America
to have the former canal built and con
trolled by this country, which alone of
American nations is able to do it. For
foregn complications into which this
Government must inevitably be drawn
are as certain TO arise as th 1t any Euro
pean power controls an Isthmian canal.
and particularly IN case the controlling
power becomes involved in war. This
latter contingency would mean the seiz-
ure, or attempted seizure, of the canal
aud the occupation Of the country it ira

interfere for the protection of her Owl

The last report OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission gives the number Of
victims OF railroad accidents in America
for the last year us 47,73J. OF these
7,3l0 resulted fatally. OF those who
died, 2,727 were railway employees, 20
passengers and 1920 other persons. OF
the injured, 3l,720 were employees, 1920
passengers and 5,i2J other persons. This
is an Increase over the number Of casual.
ties reported FOR any previous year IN
the history Of the Commission. One OF
the str inge things shown IN the report
l. the large number OF people seemingly
having no occasion TO get stepped on BY
the cars, neither patrons nor employees
who nevertheless do become prey to the
merciless wheels. II is also interesting
to note that while the ratio Of killed 10
injured among e.nployos aud passengers
was lesc ;han one TO ten, that among the

ENLARGED Plans.

The company who have signified their
intention TO erect an axle grease factory
at this place have decided to increase its
manufacturing capacity by putting in
200 horse power engine instead of an so
horse power as originally intended.
The plans as now contemplated will in
volve the erection of one or more addi-
tional buildings and considerable more
ground than would be required under
the original arrangement. 1t is the pur
pose of the company to erect separate
building for the manufacture Of paints,
and it is probable that an additional
building or annex may be required to
house the large engine and boiler, and
the machinery required in the produc-
ton of electric light. The plan of the
original building has not been changed,
nor does the cost Of the added buildings
or ground bring any additional cost
upon the city. The change in the plans
adds materially to the value and inn
portsnce OF the industry, and will be so
regarded by all, notwithstanding the
fact of the temporary delay in the in
auguration of operations occasioEed
thereby. Several members Of the COM
pauy are expected to arrive here early
next week, when arrangements viii be
made to start the ball rolling.

the following Chicago special: Samuel
A. Allerton has instituted proceedings
in the United States district court at
Sioux Falls. S. d., for the recovery Of
So 350,750 from the Homestake No. 2
Mining company. The claim which the
complainant puts forward was assigned
to him by James L. Sullivan of Chicago,
who purchased it in 1873. paying Sl0.0
down and promising $50 900 more. The
mine proved Of mere value than was
hoped for by the prospectors and Sulli.
vans purchase was repudiated. Much
money was spent in litigation, but suits
availed nothing. Finally Sulliyan, who
was not financially able to conduct the
case further in the courts. assigned his
claim to Allsrton. An accounting ofths
profits that have accrued from five
thirty interest since 1873 IS de-
manded. Offers Of settlement have
been made by the company, which
range from $2,OO0,0O0 to S3,OOO.000.

Jail Delivery.

James and Robert Hicks, who were
charged with being implicated with
Nm. Walker, in the murder Of William
Meye Of Meade county, and committed
to Jail at Sturgis, made their escape on
Tuesday night. The prisoners were
making preparations to retire for the
night, having already taken off their
shoes, when Deputy Sheriff Conklin
was called to their cell, and upon enter
ing was knocked down with club, and
beaten by them into insensibity. The
prisoners then appropriated the officers
revolver and departed hurriedly, leav-
ing their shoes behind them. Nothing
concerning their whereabouts has been
heard as we go 10 press. A reward OF
$500 has been offered for their appre-
hension, and it is believed that their
capture is only question of brief time.

WORK.

II there is anything reliable in the
signs of the times, the protracted period
Of enforced idleness on the part of a
large per cent of the residents Of this
community, is rapidly drawing to
close. The opportunity TO work, which
at no period in our history has been so
eagerly sought, will, there is every
reason to believe, be soon presented to
all who are at present unemployed.
Work has been aptly termed the
dynamo of civilization" and upon the
opportunity to obtain it largely depends
the commercial prosperity and material
advancement of all communities. Dur
ing the past year especially, has Custer
been unfortunate in the limited oppor-
tunities offered in this direction, and it
is particularly gratifying to note the
unmistakable indications which now
point to the early Inauguration Of new
and important enterprises which prom
ise ample work for waiting. willing
hands to perform. Work is the great
factor in the promotion Of the moral,
intellectual and commercial standard Of
ali civilized countries. Ii is the potent
force which dispels poverty and creates
wealth. 1t is the infallible panacea for
municipal mildew, with which depIor-
able disease so many towns are unfor
tunately afflicted. 1t places hunger be-
yond the pale of fear, stiles the piteous
cries of want, and elevates the masses to
the plane Of plenty. Its potential in
huence in promoting the common veal
is simply immeasurable. 1t insures
comfort, lessons crime, and subdues an
archy. In short, it is the prime and all
powerful lever by which the foundations
of public discomfort and unrest are
demolished, and through which human
happiness and harmony is youchsafed
to society. Viewing our local situation
as we may, we can only conclude that
whatever measure of prosperity the
future may have in store for us, will de.
pend almost entirely upon the oppor
tunities offered for work. Grant US
abundant opportunities in this direction,
and we will at once dismiss all fear and
doubt of future progress. Reverse the
order, and give us demand for the
employe instead Of the employer, con-
summation which we not only earnestly
desire, but confidently expect, and We
will most cbeerfully assume whatever
measure of risk there may be, Of failure
in the realization Of our most sanguine
hopes of advancing prosperity Viewed
from the standpoint of prospective work,
the local outlook is most assuring, and
ifthe present year does not mark an era
of exceptional progress in this place, as
result Of enlarged opportunities for
work, then write US down as a miserable
failure in the field of prophecy, and
most incapable and unreliable reader of
the legibe lines which mark the trend
of passing events.
