Editor Smith, better known as the
"Old Man of the Miner" has been in
the city for the past day or two and was
an agreeable caller at the Star office.
Mr.. Smith has been like a fish out of
water since the suspension of his Hill
City Tin Miner, and the newspaper
sanctums Of the Hills have greatly
missed the weekly appearance of his
spicy sheet. He has decided to move
his outfit to Keystone and commence
the publication of a newspaper in that
place. He has met with substantial en-
couragement from the enterprising mer-
chants of that thriving little city and
already has the promise of advertising
enough to insure the success of the
enterprise. Mr.. Smith certainly has the
best wishes of the fraternity in his I'M
dertaking.-Hot Springs Star.

The situation at the DAILY mica mine
remains practically unchanged, opera.
tons still remaining in a state of
suspension, with no definite indications
of ar early settlement ofthe unfortunate
complications which brought about the
present situation. The suspension of
operations on this property, which were
being prosecuted with such marked sue.
cess, is q matter for the most profound
regret, as it puts a sudden quietus upon
the prosecution of an industry that babe
fair to become a very important one to
this particular section and the Hills at
large. 1t is hoped, however. that the
suspension may be only temporary, and
that in the not distant future, operations
along this line may be inaugurated upon
a more permanent basis, and under cir
cumstances that will warrant, not only
a greater degree of permanence, but oil
infinitely greater magnitude than has
hitherto been reached in this locality.

mining man, has struck it rich in q

The ore recently encountered runs awav
up in the thousands, and he is said to
have refused an offer of $4,000 for his
lease. Should the pay streak continue
until the expiration of the lease, which
has yet several months to run, Mr..
Maloney. and Mrs. Maloney may both

The Medical Record gives the follow.
ing very simple cure for headache, which
may be tested without expense: Gan
excellent and never failing cure for
nervous headache is the simple act of
walking back ward. Ten minutes is as
long rs is usually necessary TO promen.
adc. 1t sometimes, however, requires
more than ten minutes 20 walk at all, if
one is very nervous But it is not
understood that it is necessary to walk
a chalk line. Any kind of walking will
do, provided it is back ward. 1t is well
to get in a large room, where the win
dows are high, and walk very slowly,
placing the ball of the foot first on the
floor, and then the heel. Besides u r
ing the headache, this exercise promotes
a graceful carriage. A half hours walk
back every day will do wonders
toward producing a graceful gait"

public will be patient and stand it a
short time longer when the handsome
new Bullock hotel will be in operation
and people can find a comfortable place
to stop. Then the bats, owls and cock
reaches will have u%ndisputed possession

The Hallow cen party given by Mr..
and Mrs. and Miss Cruson on Thursday
evening proved to be a most enjoyable
affair. 1t was largely attended and all
present entered fully into the spirit of
the occasion. and q rare social time was
the happy result. Dainty refreshments
were seaved, and all went merry as a
marriage bell. 1t will be remembered
as n of the %jolliest and most pleasing
occasions of the year.
Miss Maggie Bostwick was agreeably
surprised, when about twenty Of her
young friends and school mates called
in a body at her home on Wednesday
evening in accordance with a pre-ar
ranged plan. The visitors were royalty
received by Miss Maggie, and the even
ing was pleasantly spent in games and
other pleasing amusements. A very
elaborate lunch was served which was
greatly enjoyed by all. Maggie will re-
member the occasion as one Of the
bright spots in the panorama of her
girlhood Gays.

S. r. Drake, of Plankinton, comman-
der Of the department Of South Dakota,
q. A. r., has recently issued an official
order appointing Colonies and Majors of
the various divisions in his department.
For the two divisions embraced in the
Black Hills, the appointments are as
follows: Sixteenth division, colonel,
Jas. r. Cruson, Custer; major, John
Appleman, Buffalo Gap. Seventeenth
division, colonel, J. S.. Pratt, Spearish /;
major, j. c. Mcmillan, Sturgis. The
colonies of the divisions will appoint
their adjutants.
The Lead Tribune says: "There
never VAS a time in the history of Lead
when all kinds Of produce could be
bought so cheap as at the present time.
The best -four is selling at 1925 per 100
pounds; potatoes, GO cents per 100
pounds; onions, 81 other vegetables in
proportion. Hay is selling at $40 per
ton and oats at 20 cents per 100 pounds;
good apples, 81 per barrel. In fact
nearly all the necessaries of life are
selling in Lead at from % to 100 per
cent lower than they were even three
years ago. 1t would seem as if the peo-
pie of Lead had no kick coming"
Quite a sensation was created on
Thursday evening when an Infatuated
father, without reference to form or
ceremony, attacked a somewhat anti
quated bachelor barber and beat and
kicked him on the run as long as he
was in reach. AS no explanations were
made at the time by the attacking party
the scene was quite inexplicable to the
lockers on, but it was afterwards learned
that the offense charged was of a char
acter that would warrant even harsher
treatment than the offender received.
The case would seem to be a most ag-
%gravating n from what has thus far
leaked out, and may bring out a chatp-
ter in a future issue.

School Notes.
BY the B. Class.

Miss Lulu Armstrong has retufhe"
to school after an extended visit to
Moscow.
The A class have finished the second
book in Geometry and have begun
their review.
We miss the A class items in the
Tribune very much. 1t does not prove
to be so interesting to us lately.
Miss Cora Coburn has been absent
for about two weeks and her corner of
the school room looks quite lonesome.
Professor Cummings found it neces-
sary to change some seats this week
but we hope he will not have to do Sc
again.
The High School will have no more
rhetorical exercise; but the High SchOo
Literary Society will render a program
once month.
We all join in wishing the TELLER
merry Christmas anda happy New
Year and after holidays we will con-
tinue writing items as before.
This week closes four months of
school; we all feel that we never have
improved four months any more sue,
cessfully than we have these.
The girls and boys are again seizirg
the opportunity fo: the good skating
and are all hoping there will be good
ice for the Christmas Holidays.
The majority of the A class have
chosen their topics for their final ssays
and are now excused from the rhetor-
ical exercises. On account of past ex
perlence the professor thought 1t best
to begin sooner this year.
This week is examination and we
are all preparing tor a hard one. Some
think the examinations come to often.

men were called and twenty Of them
were excused. The jury is confined in

provided and spread upon the floor.
Mrs. Goddard, after one day of illness
has appeared IN court regularly. She
is pale and nervous, but native grit
sustains her. Two sisters, Mrs. Martin
and Miss Mott are constantly by
her side, as Is her brother, Mr.. Mott.
The sisters came out from the east to be
present during the trial
The TELLER has been often in evi.
dence during the past week IN court
The district attorney committed the
TELLER report of the court proceedings
of last Wednesday to memory, and re.
cited it for the pleasure Of the court and
prospective jurymen twenty-four times
last Monday and Tuesday.
While Jurymen Carter was under the
fire of the attorneys questions, he
stated that w. w. Johnston, of Leland
had stated to him that defendant
should he hung. AS Mr.. johnson
knew Mr.. Carter to be ajuryman, the
court held Mr.. Johnson to be in con.
tempt and ordered attachment to issue
Stenographer Rivers Is the hardest
working man about the temple of JUS

an important one. MI. Rivers never
causes veXatious delays It IL not al
uncommon occurrance for II whole
court to wait while the reporter un
ravels his hooks, dashes aid dots

He often untangles the court and the
attorneys and sets the whole machinery

saved the taxpayers Of this district
more than his weight in silver.

ined this examination. The A class in
the forenoon and the b class in the
afternoon.
Monday seemed to be a rather un.
fortunate day for Prof. Cummings.
The school enjoyed several good
laughs at his expense. He says he
will have his turn yet and we don't
doubt but what he will.
The other departments are preparing
a Christmas program, which is to take
place Tuesday, December oath. A
cordial invitation is extended to the
public. The little folks are taking
great interest in preparing themselves
for their part of the program.
The pupils attending school from
the surrounding towns are pleased that
their vacation is SO near, as some of
them failed to get home Thanksgiving.
We hope they will enjoy their visit
and that they will give a good report
of the Lewiston Public Schools.
The High School Literary met Fri
day afternoon and it proved to be a
successful meeting in every respect.
The motions that were made, were all
carried but one, which was that no
visitors be allowed. 1t is to he public
every three weeks, and on that occa-
sion special program will be pre-
pared. The b class extended an invi-
tation to the A class in the Grammar
strong. We are very glad to see SO
many interested in the society. Every
member was present Friday but one.
We have now twenty-nine members
and hope to have more before long.
