Real site EeproG uction Of the Custer
Massacre Near Pine Ridge.
Sioux FALLS 5. d., July 20 -News
has just reached here of a Fourth of
July celebration among the Indians of
the Pine Ridge Ind an reservat ons
which would probably never have.taken
place if the United States troops had
known of it before hand. The reds,
several hundred Of them in number,
found q place ol Porcupine creek re-
sembling the Little Big Horn, where
Custer and his gallant followers
fought their last fight. The In
dams placed their troops and COM
panies in about the same position
as that held by Custer and his men and
the Indians. They knew how to ar.
range the warriors, for they were
largely the same ones who participated
in that memorable massacre. The
sham battle vas begun and finished
amid the savage yells of the reds. The
canyons were strewn with those repre-
senting the fallen heroes Of Clusters
army. The whole thing was realistic
in the extreme, and wrought the In
dams up to a rather dangerous pitch.

Climate and Tongues.

Cloudless skies for months at
time characterize the climate Of Italy
while armament entirely free from
clouds Is rare in Norway.
A theory which may partly account
for these climatic effects is based up
on the contrast of the stiffness which
usually pervades southern lands with
the stormy inquietude Of northern
countries.
1t requires, of course, greater ef-
fort to be heard in regions which
are swept by winds and storms than
in still southern ATTITUDES and to be
heard distinctly amid the noise and
confusion of the elements words must
be used which contain many conso-
nants.
Among the inhabitants Of more
tropical cimes the tendency is to-
ward soft and musical cadence, and
travellers relate that in regions in
South America, such as Peru, where
atmospheric disturbances are rare,
the natives almost chant the phrases

The De Lamar Mint.

The issuing of aluminium coin by
the De Lamar company in Lincoln
county, may prove to be very serious
affair to the company. Section 5,461
OF the revised statutes of the United
States reads as follows:
Every person who, except as auth
orized by law, makes or causes to be
made, or utters or passes, or attempts
to utter or pass, any coins of gold or
silver or other metals, or alloys of
metals, intended for the use and pur.
pose Of current money, whether in the
resemblance of coins of the United
States or of foreign countries, or of
original design, shall be punished by
fine of not more than three thousand
dollars, or by imprisonment, not more
than five years, or both"
This is explicit and the penalty is
severe. The government tolerates no
devices that may be used as a substi-
tute for coin of the United States;
and the De Lamar company may
have to pay for establishing a private
mint in Lincoln county.

Graphite May be Superseded.

A new material has been discovered
In one OF the Western States-which
one will not be told for while yet
that may make it's finder fabulously
rich. The pencil manufacturers are
somewhat perturbed over the matter
for the material is said to answer the
purpose of graphite in every way.
Outside of the imported graphite the
mines at Ticonderoga have supplied
a great part of the stuff from which
the leads Of pencils are made. The
discovery has been kept very quiet,
but the stuff is said to answer all the
requirements, and can be sold for
one-half the price of the present ma
terial.
