Build Houses.

An exchange says Yankton people are
complaining of lack of dwelling houses
by reason of which many families who
would otherwise take up their residence
at that place are settling elsewhere.
That Custer will very soon be placed
in similar situation cannot be other
wise than apparent TO any one who is at
all familiar with the present outlook for
her enlarged future requirements in this
direction. That there will be an influx
of families to this place in the early
future by reason of the establishment Of
large manufacturing industry is we'll
assured, and that there is at present no
available residence buildings is also well
understood.
In view of the approaching demand,
it would seem that a most favorable
opportunity is now awaiting the motion
of our more financially fortunate citizens
to increase their revenues, and at the
same tiDe do good turn for the town.
I Tine pcrioi when it might have been
said that the further erection of build
ings in Custer involved shade Of risk,
/ ifthere has ever been such period has
now passed into history, and a more
favorable prospect for profitable issue
/ from such investment is no where offer.
ed. 1t certainly appears unreasonable
/ and inconsistent to await further assur-
ances in this direction, since it is now
so Enthusiastically apparent that risk has
ceased to be known quantity in an in
vestment of this character So palpably
clear to us is the proposition, that we
are ready to conclude that, those hesitat-
| ing TO avail themselves Of the opportun.
/ ity now offered in the direction indi-
Gated, by reason of the fear Of adverse
results, would decline to invest in twen-
ty dollar gold pieces at material dis
count, by reason Of the fear Of possible
reduction in the present value of gold
as a result of the enlarged product Of the
French creek placers due to the lncreas-
| ed number of men now engaged in its
production. If there is any profit in
building houses for rent, which appears
to be a well established fact, Custer
certainly offers exceptional inducements
to those who have the means to invest
in building enterprises. Custer has
average capital and unlimited conf
dence, but it is matter for regret that
these cardinal and indispensable quail
fcations are not more generally COM
bined in the same individual.

It Hos Reached peadwood.

Custer's brilliant prospects for enlfna,
ed prosperity, and, so to speak, heI
pending boom. has become so gla.ipgly
apparent, and stands out with such glow
ing prominence, that even che who runs
may read" Listen 10 the Deadwood
Pioneer, which under the comforting
caption of"A Boom for Custer" sub
mits the following:
Ground has been broken at Custer for
building 80 by 100 feet, for the manu-
facture of axle grease. The axle grease
is to be made of ground mica, graphite
and crude petroleum. The mica and
graphite are found in abundance within
two miles of town. The petroleum will
come from the oil springs thirty miles
west from that place. Mineral paint
will be made from pIumbago and red
ochre, both found in great quantity in
the southern Hills. Soap will be made
from the natural alkalies and petroleum
found in eastern Wyoming. An electric
light plant for lighting the city AMI the
hotels of Sylvan lake, a pleasure resort
six miles north of there, will be con-
nected with the establishment. The
company will also mine mica from their
mines, cut that which is suitable for
the market and grind the refuse from
their own aud other mines. The con-
tract calls for the completion of the
buildings now In course of construction
on the first day of July. Contracts for
other buildings will be let soon In the
mining and manufacturing of the differ
ent articles TO be put out by the COM
pany, employment will be given to
about 500 people.
Lumber contracts aggregating $780,
900 feet lave been let here to local saw
mill owners within the past few days
The lumber will be used by the Burl-
ington & Missouri in their extension
from Sheridan. Wyo., to the Northern
Pacific railroad.

Mining Items.

The weekly cleanup of the Golden
Reward COLONIZATION company was
made yesterday. The clean up was one
of the largest and most valuable ever
made at these works. Four buttons
weighing l95 ounces was secured. The
total clean up was close to $4,000. The
plant is turning out bullion at the rate
Of nearly $50. 200 per month.-Pioneer.
From parties who came over from the
Grizzly Bear mine yesterday the News
learns that very rich ore has been en-
countered in the mine. How extensive
this new find is could not be ascertained,
but that it is one of great Importance is
believed by Mr.. Flormann. A lard pail
was filled with ore from the last shots

without crushing, which yielded IS =

struck the right road to prosperity, there
will be no boom, but the foundation
which it now lays is solid one, because
there is no danger offailure. The work
ing Of her mica, plumbago and paint
mines, and the manufacture Of axle
grease and paint will insure to Custer q
steady business under which it cannot
fail to prosper. That she may do so Is
the wish of all who have the welfare Of
the Hills at heart and although Custer
will derive the direct benefit Of these
enterprises, the success of them will be
of vast benefit TO the whole Hills indi-

Custer unbounded success in this, their

Shall We Celebrate ?

The question of celebrating the day ot
days, the glorious anniversary of the
birth of American liberty, independence
and uniou-in short, the 4th day of July
has been casually discussed by mum
ber of our citizens during the week. No
definite plans have been outlined, bu,
the matter is being favorably entertain
ed by goodly number Of citizens with
whom We have discussed the subject
The adjourned term Of the circuit cour,
conyenes at this place on July 5th
which will necessarily bring many peo.
pie here on the 4th in order that they
may be in early attendance at the com.
mencement of the term, and this is held
to be strong point IN favor Of celebrat.
ing The day.
The CHRONICLE is strongly in favor OF
celebrating, for divers reasons, promi-
nent among which is the fact Of our hay
ing held no celebration for several years
and the further fact that by reason OF
our rapidly growing progress, we can
and naturally would meet the occasion
with higher degree Of enthusiasm
than we have ever hitherto experienced
upon a similar occasion. 1t is not a
matter for the CHRONICLE to determine
as 10 the advisabiity Of holding the
celebration, as that is a matter TO be de-
ter.ined by public sentiment, but ve
do not hesitate TO state in expressing
our opinion, that it would be not only a
proper, but a popular move to make,
and one that. if wisely managed, would
result in materially benefit to the town.
Should the proposition meet the views
of the citizens generally, no time should
be lost in making preparations for the
important event, as it will require all
the time available to advertise il
and properly arrange the various preli-
minary details necessary to its perfect
success.

Sad Death,

The report Of the death of Manuel
McKirahan. former resident and well
known in this place, reached us few
days ago. While the sad details are not
definitely known, the facts, as far a.
could be learned, are AS follows: The
deceased had been for some time .
sufferer from the effects Of fall, which
seriously affected his spine, which at
times made 1t extremely difficult for
him to walk. and as he grew steadily
worse, it was noticed that his mind was
being affected. He was removed TO Hot
Springs from his farm q few miles east
of this place, where he became entirely
deranged. His father, realizing the
necessity Of his Immediate removal to
the insane asylum, departed with him
for Yankton, which place he failed to
reach, death having come to his relief
and ended his suffering while en- route.
The deceased was about 27 years Of
age. unmarried. aud in all respects an
exemplary young man. with many
friends who deeply sympathiss with his
relatives in their bereavement.

In this city on Tuesday, the 18th inst,
at the residence of Mrs J. 5. Fisher, the
aunt of the bride, by Rev. A. j. Cheese
man, resident pastor of the NJ. + Church,
Mr.. 7. w. Delicate and Miss Pearl
Maple.
The happy event was not heralded
by noisy trumpets. or roaring cannon,
but on the contrary was so quietly con-
Quoted that it was known to but few Of
our citizens that happening Of such
pleasing and felicitous import was about
| to transpire.
The contracting parties are residents
of Custer, are well known, and enjoy in
All eminent degree the friendship and
respect of her citizens. Mr.. Delicate
holds the position of cashier of the Gus.
ter County bank of this place, and by
his kind, courteous manner.has won the
respect Of all with whom he has came in
contact. His estimable bride has re-
sided in this place from childhood, and
is held in the highest esteem by all her
acquaintances by reason of her amiable
disposition and rare qualities of heart.
As All evidence of the high esteem in
which the welded pair are held by the
residents of this place, we note the fact
Of the Custer City guards assembling in
full uniform and marching with the
brass band to the scene of their wedding
Immediately after its occurrence, where
they honored them with an appropriate
serenade, and emphasized their con.
gratulations with loud and lusty cheers
An army of friends will unite with
the CHRONICLE in the ardent wish that
the future of the newly welded may be
unmarried by single cloud, and that
the fullest measure of happiness and
prosperity may be their portion through
all the coming years of their welded
| life.

greater part of the day in the city on

The loss of stock upon the ranges dur

pearing in our exchanges. but these
reports are not being verified by the
later reports of the assessors, who find
few stockmen who claim less than so,
and as high as IS per cent loss. This of
course Is the estimate for assessment
purposes only, for purposes Of sale the
estimate would not fit. An assessor was

was only 5 per cent, but recovered from

only six head aud lost fivs.

Coxey, as it now appears, has reached
the climax Of his fame. His star at
tanned its maximum brilliancy ere he
saw Washington, and IT is now rapidly
waning to its setting. His arrest, con.
yiction and final Punishment from the
capital city where he proposed 70 make
his crowning coup d'etat, has seriously
curhiled his prestige with the masses,
and been prolific source of discourage
ment and humiliation to himself and
his followers. His reserves are meeting
with indifferent success in their efforts
to join him, and the outlook for large
gathering of the commonwealers at
Washington which a short time since
seemed favorable. is now less rosy, and
unless there be radical change in their
favor, in the early future, they will drop

In this city on Tuesday, the 18th inst,
at the residence Of the son-in-law and
daughter of the bridegroom, by Rev. A.
j. Cheeseman, pastor of the NJ. +.
Church. Mr.. William c. Fenwick, of
Pringle Station, twelve miles southeast
Of this place. and Mrs. Rachel II. An
derson, of Jersey City, New Jersey.
Mr. Fenwick has been resident of
Custer county for number of years,
and is we'll known and highly respected
in the community.
The lady of his choice is recent ar
rival from the east, and consequently
unknown to the writer, but she is pre-
sumably woman Of high personal
worth. otherwise it is not probable that
she would have become the wife of MIR
f., and the CHRONICLE therefore unites
with their numerous friends in extend
ing hearty congratulations, and the
warmest wishes for their future happi-
ness and prosperity.

Insults Heaped on Troops by Rioters-Boys
in Blue Eager for the Command to Fire.
CHICAGO, July 9.-Stories are begin
ming to float into military headquar-
ters which illustrate the fury to which
the regular troops have been worked
up by the insults of the crowd. A cav
alryman at the stockyards who had
been howled at by a crowd for three
hours made protest to his captain. One
hulking rioter in particular had planted
himself in front of the trooper and
hurled at him every epithet he could
think of, besides daring him to fight.
The trooper turned to his superior.
Captain" he said, "for heavens sake
let me take my uniform off and lick
that fellow. I'll do it without any
help" The officer refused, of course.
While that soldiers noisy assailant was
around the former never took his eye
off him. Had an order to fire been
given it is quite certain that rioter
would not have been among those who
escaped.
An officer said: ''The troops are
worked up to a frenzy. They have
been held back by excellent discipline.
If they get an order to fire, a good
many of them will fail to hear the
command to cease firing if it is given
after the first volley and will get in an
extra shot or two.
