Dispense with Prayer.

Penitentiary officials favor dispensing
with the customary prayer on the scat
fold when condemned man is hanged.
They say that it is an unnecessary trial
upon the fOrtitude Of the man who is
standing face to face with death, and
that when, as in many instances, the
prayer is long and pathetic, the mental
effect upon the condemned man is little
short Of cruel. They think that all the
religious ceremonies should be held in
the death cell and before the calpTit is
brought to the scaffold. In this cOnnec-
tion it is stated that bill is being drawn
for introduction at the next session OF
the Legislature, providing that capital
punishment shall be inflicted by electric
ity instead Of hanging.

Deadwood papers are calling attention
to the stern fact of her water supply
being insufficient to meet even the or
binary requirements Of the place, to say
nothing of the greater demand in case
of fires. One paper emphasizes the
emergency Of the situation in the frank
admission that dishwater is now at a
premium. Deadwood, like Custer,
should awaken at once to the full reali-
cation Of the necessity of securing an
ample water supply, and to the cold fact
J that, the only sure and infalible way to

A building owned by the Harvey Peak
Tin company, and used, formerly, as a
residence for the general manager, was
totally destroyed by fire at Hill City on
Friday of last week. Mart Dodge and
family occupied a part of the building
and sustained the loss of all their house
hold effects, and were also injured to
some extent in making their escape by
being compelled to pass through the
%devouring flames. A large number Of
people witnessed the destruction of the
building, but were powerless to prevent
it by reason of there being no means of
protection at hand. The loss of the
building is estimated at about S4, 000.0 90,
upon which it is believed there was no
insurance. Mr.. Dodge's loss is not re-
ported.

There never was a time when there
was as much sickness as at the present
time In Lead. Everyone is complaining
and a person who will say they are free
from any ailment rs indeed a freak. All
are praying for a few weeks Of the pres
ent cold weather which would be of
untold benefit to everyone in the north
ern Hills.-Lead City Call.
In pleasing contrast with the above
we are more than gratified to state that.
there has never been a time when there
has been less sickness than there is at
this writing in Custer. Health is the
rule, and sickness the exception here,
where the death rate is materially lower
than in any other town in the wide
west.
