The rate on wool from Pierre to Chicago,
says the Pierre Press, is 81 cents, and
from the Black Hills stations SLAP
the difference in rate is causing sheep
men, from the forks of the Cheyenne
river east. to market their wool by way
OF Pierre. Buyers from Chicago houses
are now in this city and paying from 10
to II cents per ponud for the wool as
soon as delivered. The same rule will
cause cattle from the foot hills of the
Black Hills to be driven across to Pierre
for market. The facts prove the crying
necessity for a railroad to the Hills.

Raised From Its Ashes.

The local press, appreciating the
enterprise displayed by the CHRONICLE
in presenting its issue OF last week on
time, which was practically picked from
a pile of ashes, so to speak, have, many
of the them, submitted commendatory
references thereto, among which we
note the following:
"The destruction of the CUSTER CHgoN-
IcLE building by fire, with all its con-
tents, was very serious misfortune to
the proprietor as there was not dollar
of ofinsurance on the property. However,
the issue of the Sd inst. appeared with
all the characteristic enterprise which
weekly papers Of the State. The
CHRoNIcLE is deserving of the best sup
port that can be given a paper, for it
has labored increasingly for the best
interests Of Custer county and the Black
Hills generally.-B. III. Mining Review.
The CUSTER CHRONICLE put in its
weekly appearance at this office but one
day late and looking as bright as ever,
Notwithstanding the firery ordeal
through which IL passed one week ago
this morning. The CHRONICLE has al
ways been paper deserving of all there
was going in its community in the way
Of patronage, and its recent loss by fire
should be the means of spurring mp the
people Of Custer City and Custer county
TO that point where the future patronage
of the paper will be much better than it
has ever been in the past. The CHRoN-
ICLE has always stood by Custer and
fought for the interests Of the town, and
in its hour of distress this fact should
hot be lost sight of.-Lead Call.
The CUSTER Chronicle reached this
Office Notwithstanding tbs fact that that
office has experienced setback on ac-
count of being burned out during the
late fire at Custer. The CHRONICLE is a
good paper and the management should
receive the united support of the COM
munity embraced by the publication
Rapid Journal.
The CUSTER CHRONICLE which lost its
entire plant by fire last Monday made
its appearance, though one day late
bright and newsy as ever.-Pioneer.

Essay on the Mouth.

A boy in the physiology class at Iro-
quois, in response to the request of his
teacher, submitted the following essay
upon the mouth:
"The mouth is the front door Of the
face. 1t is the aperture TO the cold
storage of the anatomy. Some mouths
look like peaches and cream and some
look like hole in brick wall. The
month is the hotbed of toothaches, the
bunghole of oratory. 1t is the crimson
gateway to the liver. 1t is patriotism's
fountain and the tool chest for pie.
Without it the politician would 90 down
to an unhonored grave and the office.
seeker would become a wanderer upon
the face of the earth. 1t is the grocer's
friend, the stump speakers pride, and
the dentists hope. 1t puts some men
on the rostrum and some in jail. 1t is
temptation's lunch counter when at
tached to a maiden, and a tobacconists
friend when attached to man. With
out it the teachers institute would be a
dream and school ma'am would lose
half of her Attraction"

Kind Words.

Commenting upon the unfortunate
results of the late fire in this place, the
Hill City Tin Miner says:
1t is peculiarly distressing when one
mus. stand helplessly by and see the
accumulations of a lifetime swept away
in an hour, as most Of the poor people
who lost their all in this fire, were COM
pelled to do. The CHRoNIcLE particular
ly has our sympathy. MIR. Kubler has
worked early and late; has always
made the CHRONICLE one Of the leading
papers Of the Hills, has stood and cham
p.oned Custer and Custer county when
there was little of profit in the work.
and the people of Custer will only be
helping themselves If they place the
CHRONICLE on a more substantial founda-
ton than ever, if need be.

THE MONEY WASN'T THERE
How Mark Lane Got an overcoat,
q Valise and Teeth all Free.


Mark Lane, who, up to a short
time ago, conducted a fish, oyster
and butter stand on South Alamo
street, has suddenly left town, and
he had good reasons, If the herein
after allegations are true.
A few days ago he had some
dentistry done by DR.. Hunter,
amounting to about $50, and last
Tuesday he ordered an overcoat
and valise from Joske Bros,
amounting to about $l6. He gave
as payment therefor check on the
Alamo National bank. But when
the time came to cash the checks,
the bank would not honor them.
There was no money in the bank
for Mark Lane. 1t is said that
some time ago, however, Lane had
$1,000 in this bank, but he had
taken it out since then.
Lane has left the city, and his
exact whereabouts are not yet
known. 1t is expected that he will
soon be landed and made to return
the goods and pay hisdebt.
