in readiness. He is not in the least
concerned about the matter, probably
thinking and caring less about it than
anyone.

ken up all day in hearing one of the
old court house fight cases entitled
Powell vs. Connor, ct al. It is suit on

About the Black Hill. College.

About the Black Hills College.
The semi-annual meeting Of the board
Of trustees at this institution met in
the college on Tuesday.
Like all other enterprises this one
was launched upon a sea Of trouble and
anxiety, self-sacrifice and conservation.
Those who have never given any study
to these beginning have little idea Of
their cost. We look proudly at Har-
ward, Yale, Northwestern, and great
number of similar institutions, now
our pride, and forget the day of small
things, of self-denial, Of debt, Of tenn
porary unpaid obligations. But thro'
years of patient suffering "Old Will
liams", as it is fondly called, and its
composers have attained standing and
power through love of alumni and
others. But all were once as small, OF
smaller, than Black Hills college. And
every one of them struggled as this col
lego struggles now-not less, but more.
1t is inspiring to sit hour after hour
with such men as Fred T. Evans, DIR.
Stewart, Hon. s. E. Wilson, E. w. Mar.
tin and other such men among the
twenty-ons earnest menlxho constitute
its board of trustees and share in their
plannings for the mental enlargement
Of this section. Earnest Wyoming
ministers were there too, because in a
large sense Black Hills college is theirs
also. "If the hard times had not come"
was said, and then we all turned again
to those heroic young men, President
Hancher and Prof. Lymer, who are
giving the best of their young lives to
found the school and make it, and
then listen to their recitation of works
and faith and then go ahead again.
More than $4,000 worth of property
and endowment has been gathered, and
about ninety earnest young people this
year are in it's classes, which comprises
complete college course, while each
teacher looks proudly backward to
some alma mater and from which he
takes the cue for his work. The music
department is so crowded that another
teacher had to be provided. All in all,
this is the best year in the history of
the college.-Deadwood Times.

Some Mining News.

City to spend Sunday in the city. He
says they are taking out ore on the j R
mine, but are busy doing assessment
work on other claims and will not be
able to do any great business until after
New Years. They have taken the mine
back from the parties to whom it was
bonded. Mr.. Lampert says there is
considerable trouble brewing for the
Holy Terror mine as they are threatened
with number of lawsuits. Mrs. Stone,
Franklin's adopted daughter, who real
ly discovered the mine, will contest the
claim on the ground of discovery.
Then the O'Keefe claim, as the heirs at
law of Jake Reed, who was one of the
original locators, and then too the Key
stone people are claiming that the Holy
terror is a part of the Keystone claim,
No. 4; SO that the wonderful little mine
will have hard road to travel. We
are sorry to see such q promising mine
tied up in law suit. Mr.. Lampert
says he helped set up the mill and the
claim is a genuine ledge and not q
pocket. OF course it can hardly be ex-
pected to be as rich all through as it
has shown up at this place, but it will
be good paying ore anywhere on the
ledge.

him continued and increased success.

VIM. Roach and Amantha Sherman

This is match brought about thro' a
matrimonial journal. William is about
10 years of age and she widow Of
about SO. She arrived a few days ago
from Indianapolis, Ind, and they at
once secured marriage license, but
postponed the marriage until today,
possibly that they might get acquain-
ted and make little love. We hope
their days of connubial felicity may be
many.

WHERE TIMES ARE REALLY HARD
Cause For Generalization to the
People Here.
Business Frustrated In the States
what Two Travellers Saw-How
it il in Seattle.

Port Surveyor Sanders says that
business in all its branches in the
United States seems to be stagnat-
ed. Traffic and trade are at a
standstill. The common carriers
are doing nothing and wholesale
and retail merchants and working
men are complaining everywhere.
Men have been discharged by the
hundreds, and wages reduced in
every quarter. The general belief
is that there will soon be a change
for the better. Confidence will
be restored" is a stock claim. In
San Francisco a leading merchant
said to Mr.. Sanders that in the
past couple of months there had
been q slight improvement in and
about that city. There are not so
many unemployed at the Golden
Gate City as during last winter.
Across the continent tramps are
begging and rowing by the thous-
ands.
l.. L. McCandless, who lately
returned from Seattle, says that
business up there has been paral-
wed. He asserts he could have
engaged 500 men there to come to
the islands and work for $40 a
month and board.
A friend of an attache of this
paper, writing from Seattle under
date of Oct. eth, gives g pitiful
picture of the conditions. These
are his words:
"This is a glorious country here in
Washington, and Seattle seems des-
tined for commercial greatness; but
at present everything is at a stand
still. The crops are good, but they
bring no remuneration TO the farmer.
Trade is very slack, notwithstanding
the unprecedentedly low prices. Rents
are away down, with many vacant
houses. There is no building. Prop
erty has shrunk in value more than
one-half, and there is no movement,
even at the reduced prices. Wages
are very low, work of all kinds scarce
and situations hard to find. see
about the same conditions prevailing
everywhere that L have been Peopie
are simply hanging on ana Vagueiy
hoping for the best. There Is not q
man on earth who can tell how IL IL
coming out"

A MUCH TALKED OF PLAY.
Saints and Sinners" and its
Plot.
A Performance which Has Caused VI ore
Discussion Than Probably Any
Other-CIergyrnen Invited.

saints AMI Sinners" which will be
played tonight, has caused as
much discussion, if not more, than
any play ever produced. 1t has been
praised by some ministers, while
others have poured out the Walls of
their wrath upon it in TRADE of
abuse fer connecting the church with
the stage. In spite of all this, or
perhaps because of it, it has had an
immense success all over the United
States, and was one of a. NJ. Palmer's
biggest drawing cards.
The story is a sad one. Jacob
Fletcher, an old minister, presides
over o. congregation at Steepleford.
He and one of the deacons Of his
church named Hoggard, are the trus-
tees OF a widows estate, on which
Hoggard has placed very small val
uation, intending to buy it in, and
thus defraud the widow out of a great
portion of what is due her. In this
he seeks and obtains the cooperation
ot another deacon, Prabble.
Lettie, Fletcher's daughter, is loved
by George Kingsmill, a worthy young
farmer But she is abducted and be-
trayed by Captain Fanshaw, an army
officer. Fletcher and Kingsmill, as
soon as they find out where Lettie IS,
hasten to London and persuade her TO
return home. She does so, and
nothing Is known of her action. Hog
gard and Prabble, however, discover
what she has done, and tell Fletcher
that il he does not assist them In
their plans to obtain fraudulent
possession of the widows estate, they
will inform his parishiOners of Let
ties sin. Fletcher scorns their pro-
posaI, and, after the church service is
over, he asks the congregation to come
into his vestry. There he explains the
whole story. He is asked to resign
his pastorship, and does so. Kings
mill, however, steps forward, and pup
licly asks Lettie to be his wife, but
she refuses.
Fletcher and his daughter for some
time have bare existence, he preach
ing in some of the surrounding viii
lagos, and she obtaining employment
as nurse. After some years, Hcg-
gard Is discovered to have wrecked a
bank, and flies. He is pursued, and
forced to take refuge in Fletchers
house to escape mob violence. The
latter helps him to leave the country.
Then Fletcher is asked to again re-
sumo the passionate OF the church
which he had been turned from, and
is also urged to bring mis- daughter
with him. Lettie, however, Is very
ill. Just after this Kingsmlll returns
from Australia, rich man, but hnds
his prospective wife dying. Her death
closes the play.
Manager Daley has sent an invita-
ton to all the clergymen of the city !
to attend the performance, and un-
doubtedly several of them, at least,
will be present.

Ladies' Column.

We have a counter arranged
this week devoted to WHITE
COTTON DRESS GOODS,
every piece of which we ex-
pect to sell before the week is
out. They do not come under
the head of Quick Sales and
Small Profits, they Will be
SOLD AT JUST WHAT THEY COST
Us, not one cent more or one
cent less. We want the room
for more goods coming; we
have made great purchases for
the fall and winter trade. So
from time to time different
lines of goods will be pushed
just as these White Cotton
Dress Goods are at ACTUAL
COST PRICE. And speaking
about Quick Sales and Small
Profits, as a fair sample of the
difference it has made in
prices generally we will just
mention LADIES' BLACK
STOCKINGS. Those that we
have always sold for So per
dozen, we are now selling for
1925 per DOZEN, while those
that were formerly SIS per
dozen are now only 81 per
dozen. The same thing ap-
plies to MEMS SOCKS. The
So per dozen ones are now
1925 per dozen. We simply
mention these few things, be-
cause they show a fair proper
ton of the discounts made
throughout the entire stock.
W-Do not forget to save
your checks, you may be the
one we send to the Volcano.
WWe said sometime ago
that Madame Pele would break

The Cruel Murder of a Woman Supposed tc
Be the Cholera Devil"
Another form which the devil as
sumes in Russia pretty often of late is
that of the cholera, who, of course, is a
female In the district of Barnaul the
other day the peasants were determined
TO make short work of the cunning
one'' in that odious role of his. They
dubbed together and lay in wait One
day they deserted the spirit of evil on
his way TO kill people with the terrible
epidemic. He was riding in a tarantass
"a sort of spTingless cart covered with
canvas-disguised in the form of fe-
male.
The Waterman refused to allow the
tarantass to enter the village of Pras-
loulha. The woman inside protested,
but had TO turn back. The peasants as
sembled, gave chase TO the tarantass,
surrounded il and called out to the
cholera devil TO disappear. The poor
woman said she was human like them
selves and could not vanish miraculous
", but they shouted, prayed and closed
around. y few shots were heard, fol-
lowed by piteous moan and then a
deafening shout of triumph: "Pray to
God, brothers, and thank him. We
have killed the cholera. " The woman's
name was Kondratieff. Her corpse was
not allowed inso the village. London
