They Do not Appreciate the Value

A few days ago we noted some Of he
heavy taxpayers Of the county. The
treasurer's books show another side
equally interesting. II this county
ever needs a substantial increase in
the revenue for taxes it can be secured
II law Is passed providing for the
publication Of the sworn statements Of
personal property made by it's citizens.
1t IL simply astonishing to look over
these returns and see the statements
that some men In this town make under
oath. The law allows an exemption
of $500 before any taxes are assessed
and you would be amazed to see how
many men get within the limit. The
majority of driving horses are worth $40
II you go by statements Of the parties
who pay taxes upon them. And these
people ride In $40 carriages aud carry
$40 gold watches. The pianos that grace
telephones Of the wealthiest people in
Dickinson county are seldom valued
at more than 800. Occasionally a
return is made that is refreshing for
its honesty, but the average man places
valuation upon his personal property
that is ridiculously small. Men with
big houses full OF 6ne furniture and
who have large professional libraries
get out with a tax payment of 5000 or
$500 and the men who have any cash
or who hold bonds or mortgages are
few and far between.

VANITY OF vANITIES.
Fortunes Of Former Days Go fol
Mere TRIES.

mere IIlueb,
A painful "Reminiscences Of boom days
was the sale at auction Of personal
securities belonging to the LebOld,
Fisher & Co. property by Assignee
John Johntz in the district clerk
Office today. The long lists of prom
issory notes with big round figures and
the names of citizens in those days
supposed to be good for the amounts
named attached, were we're highly
edifying.
Mr.. Johntz acted as auctioneer and
knocked the securities down without
reserve Ia blocks OF three to Eve. Dur
ing the morning personal notes due
the firm aggregsting $l45,00U were
sold for total of a little over $500.
The two largest debts to the bank
were those of @. G. Bessy and J. M.
Dickey. The formers notes secured +,
some Of them, on mythical cattle,
amounted to $22, 900. The whole
package was sold to j. z. Campbell
for 81. J. NJ. Dickey's obligations for
$4,000 we're sold for sl4 also to Mr..
Campbell, who was the largest pur-
chaser of securities during the day.
Coupons, overdue first and second
mortgages aud stock in various COM
panies follow after the notes, all
making an aggregate running up close
to half a million dollars. About the
most poignant regret that is expressed
among the onlookers at the sale is that
they did not get some of the big loans
while they were going.
The creditors Of the bank have since
the failure in Oct. 1883 received 2 per
cent dividend. After the present sale
another dividend will be declared.

Sheriff BlalSey went to Edgemont
and brought in IL man by the name of
Booth from that place who is charged
with horse stealing and numerous
other crimes. 1t appears that several
horses belonging to IL man who lives
out near Whoop-up. had strayed off to-
ward this county. Booth caught them
up on the prairie. brought them in to
Edgemont and sold them to Crowell.
the liveryman. He had no sooner
made the trade and got his money,
than the owner of the horses who was
following them close. came up and
Booth was caught right in the act. He
did not deny the charge of stealing
them. He will have his hearing to-
morrow or as soon as the witnesses
can be got over here.

OUR PHONOGRAPH.

JUDGE RIDpATH.-The council has
passed a resolution preventing Judge
Boomer and from foraging for fuel,
and have ordered locks put on their
coal boxes. 1t is pretty hard when the
conservators of the public peace are
enioined by resolution from "stealing"
coal.
Jos. VINcENT.-Trade is picking up
considerably. sold II fine bill of
furniture to Minnekahta parties yester-
day. Hot Springs will be all right in
the spring.
Ed. RoGERs.-My wife and are in
love with Hot Springs and intend to
stay right here. We will put $500 more
into the business by next spring and
run a first class restaurant. / look
for big year.
CHAs. b. STAcKpoLE.--I'm feeling all
right today. The council has passed
the franchise for the Wind Cave rail-
road on it's first reading and there
seems to be no doubt of it's ultimate
passage. The council seemed anxious
only to have assurance that itwould be
built and gave them that and there
was no trouble. They have placed the
time of final completion to December
/, 1885, but it it will be done long before
that time. Abe Odell is trying to make
us trouble by saying that Baker Quarry
Co. money was used in paying for the
survey, and he will lay everything in
our way possible. l wonder where
that Baker Quarry Co. money came
from anyhow? We will build the road
nevertheless and will commence throw
ing dirt in the nca. future. The coun-
Gil did not restrict us either in the
matter of service, i. C. the lumber of
trains we had to run in given time.

JAY HICKS SWUNG INTO ETERNITY.

Today.

He Pays the Penalty of his Crime at 12: Z
Today.
Special to the STAR
SrURa1s, s. d., Nov. Is, l p. m.-
Probably never in the history of the
Black Hills was there more foul and
redhanded murder than that of John
Meyers in Meade county about year
ago by the Hicks brothers and William
Walker. Jay Hicks who played the
principal part in the tragedy paid the
penalty of his crime on the scaffold at
1917 today. He died without tremor
and the air of nonchalance manifested
throughout the entire scene showed
that he was man of iron nerve and
determination. He was brought out
from the Jail at 11:45 and walked to the
scaffold without the least evidence of
fear or danger. The black cap was
placed over his head and the moose
adjusted to his neck at 1900. He made
no confession, and aside from asking
..l.e forgiveness of the deputy sheriff
whom he injured so badly in his escape
from Jail short time after his arrest,
he had nothing to say. He listened
attentively to the prayer and scripture
reading of his spiritual adviser, Rev.
earns, but said nothing about his
horrible crime. The dropfell at 12:O11s
and the body fell full eight feet and
came back with rebound as the moose
was drawn tight below the left ear. He
struggled violently for five minutes
and was then comparatively still. At
1914 he was examined by physicians
who stated that his heart was still
beating. AT 1911 he was pronounced
dead and at 1880 his body was cut
down and turned over to his friends for
burial. About seventy people witness
ed the execution, though there was a
great crowd on all sides of the Jail
yard. The execution was onducted
by Sheriff Beaver in the most approved
manner, if snch a thing as capital
punishment can be approved.

Over the Burlington,

A STAR representative has recently
made a trip over the b. & NJ. to Billings,
and was much surprised to find such
"a smooth and substantial road bed for
so new road. AS the magnificent
flyer for the coast sped along over the
new road one could scarcely perceive
any difference between this road and
those of the east. The service in every
particular is excellent, causing much
comment from the number of passen
gers who were enroute to the coast.
Close connections are made at Billings
with the Northern Pacific train, and
passengers can reach the coast by this
route several hours less than by the
other through lines. BY this Burling-
ton extension and the Northern Pacific
road the cities of Helena. Spokane,
Butte. Seattle. Tacoma and Portland.
and all other northern Idaho. Montana.

play no small part in the matter of

valley of Little and Big Goose creeks,
Tongue river, Little Big Horn. where
Custer made his last stand against the
Sioux. across and down the Big Horn
to the valley of the Yellowstone which
is brought almost into the back yard

of shortening up the distance. Hot

this through line, for ,top-over priyi-

opportunity to visit our resort will
doubtless be improved by large num-
bers of people.

Commercial Value of sanitariums.


Every year the conviction is becom-
ing stronger in the minds of progress
sive physicians, as we'll as of the intelli-
gent public, that most of the so called
chronic diseases, and especially those
of a pulmonary nature. are more bene-
fitted by change of environment than
by any other change, and every year
sees a larger number of invalids seek
ing new homes where climatic and sani-
tary condions are more suitable than
those now endured. There are in the
United States at least 100000 persons
with consumptive tendencies whose
lives might be saved. or at least much
prolongned, by immediate change of
climate from the cold, damp soil and
atmosphere of large sections over
northern states. to the dry and equ-
able climates to be found in MANY
sections of the south and west. These
persons should not make permanent
settlement until sure that the place
selected is a proper one. They cannot
board at hotels indefinitely, and the
ordinary hotel is a poor place for an
invalid at best. The ideal sanitarium
is one furnishing the hotel facilities
proper. as culinary, laundry, bathing,
office ndpublic social Accommodations
also regular hospital facilities for those
requiring them, but accommodating
those who do not require or desire con-
slant personal attention, in cottages or
detached apartments where the COM
forts and privacy of a home can be en-
joyed with little to suggest the idea Of
|invalidism. Capital sufficient to carry
out such an ideal, invested in any place
enjoying a reasonably good climate and
sanitary basis, will be of greater
material benefit to the community than
double the amount invested in any
manufacturing or commercial enter
prise. The product of factories often
become drug upon the market, and
the plant must be closed or run at a
loss. The crop of tourists and new
home seeking invalids is an ever in
creasing one. One of the serious draw
backs to the sending of invalids to
many favorable places, is the lack of
suitable accommodations, and we be-
lieve that in no line of ofbusinessis there
better opportunity for the Investment
of capital than in the establishment
and running under competent super
vision, of sanitariums of moderate cost
and extent incur south and western
states and territories which have favor
able climatic conditions.-September
