itself, as well as the sleeves, was put OF
with a deep gauging, SO exquisitely done
that it seemed like the same material wo

larger than ever devised by mortal dress
maker, and there was about the ensemble
an impressive air not usually associated
with neglige gowns of any sort.

pleased to hear his peals Of laughter
"You ought to see it, - said reproach-

II dare say it is, " he admitted. II was
not laughing ut the gown, but Mt the atl-
ditional light the incident throws upon
feminine character. l believe a woman
would wear anything she thought becom-
ing, with Indifference as to its suitability.
She would copy the vostments of tho grand
llama for tea gown if she thought they
suited her style, and without conjunction
too. I actually saw ut q ball the other
night gown made of oriental embroider-
les, and the wearcr was waltzing about
the room unconsciously proclaiming with
every swish Of her skirts that Allah is AL
lab, and Mohammed is his prophet If
religion is not safe from the incursions of
feminine vanity, it is not surprising that
the Judiciary should have failed to escape"

Secretary Carlisle's late speech on the
silver question at Louisville, Kentucky,
is strongly criticised by Allen w. Thur
man, of Ohio, who declares il to be a
reproduction of John Sherman's speech,
delivered annually by him for the past
twenty years, which has been answered
over and over again until the people
have become weary of it. He boldly
accuses Carlisle of dishonesty in mis-
representing the motives of certain rep
resentative democratic senators, among
them his (Thurman's) father. In voting
for the bill demonitizing silver in 1873,

Weary of Life.

Frederick Kaiser, who has for several
years has been a resident of Pleasant VAL
ley, twenty miles southwest Of this
place, was found dead on Sunday night
about a quarter OF mile from his resi-
dence, his body being suspended from,
the limb Of a tree by a rope, through
which means he had deliberately cut
the tn. cad of q weary life. The deeeas-
ed had frequently threatened to take
his life, and on Sunday evening repeated
the threat to his wife, who by reason OF
his frequent threats of this kind in the
past, paid no attention whatever to him,
little thinking how earnest was his in
tention in this instance.
A messenger was sent to this city on
Monday morning to apprise the coroner,
DR.. Fisher, of the occurrence, where
upon he departed with Deputy Sheriff
McClelland, for the scene, which was
reached in the evening and an inquest
held. j. II. Heumphreus, d. Mcintosh

peated crop failures is supposed to have
led to the commission of the rash act.

The Wheels in Motion.

The Custer axle grease factory may
now be said to be practically completed
so far as its readiness for the manufact-
ure OF axle grease is concerned. This
fact was demonstrated on Tuesday,
when fifteen hundred pounds of the
product was produced. This was the
initial run of the plant, and its workings
are in all respects most pronounced
success.
The plant will now proceed in the
manufacture of the product in bulk for
shipment in barrels to fill the large
orders already received. The putting
up of the product in small boxes, for
which the company has extensive or
ders. will necessarily be delayed for
several days pending the completion OF
certain unfinished work in this depart
ment. The product Of this plant which
will be on sale in every section Of the
United States under the brand of
"Hanna's Solid Axle OIL" is said to be
far superior in quality to any oiher.aEs
ticle Of this character which has ever
been placed upon the market in any
country. one box of which is guaranteed
to last longer than three boxes of any
other.
The superior quality of this product
will be sufficient warrant for its extern
siye use, and the consequent permanent
success Of the factory. which cannot
prove otherwise than beneficial to Gus
ter and the Black Hills, and as it en-
larges its manufacturing capacity, as
contemplated, which there are good
reasons to believe will he done, the
meas ure of benefit will also be proper.
tionally increased.
General Manager Hanna informs the
CHRoSICLE that in addition to the large
orders received from the east for the
product, he is also receiving orders for
it from all of the principal towns of the
Hills. The &. b. & q. and B. & VI. Rail-
road companies will use the lubricant
upon all the axels employed on their
entire system, which alone will consume
quite large per cent of the total output
of the plant. The number of employees,
as yet comparatively limited, will be
increased on the first of the coming
month, when the pay roll of the insttu.
ton will reach a sca.e OF magnitude that
will perceptibly increase the measure of
the circulating medium in this locality,
and convince local skeptics of the now
apparent fact that grease factory" is

WE ARE GETTING THERE.

The CHRONICLE has been long, loud
and lungy in its efforts to conyince an
incredulous world of the surprising
value Of Clusters mineral resources.
Hundreds Of columns have been de-
voted to their description; numerous
letters from abroad have been fairly and
conservatively answered; and vast
number of visitors have been fully in
formed upon the question of their mer-
its. Ten years, a period sufficiently ample
to have fully developed every mineral
vein in Custer county, have passed into
the dim and dreary retrospect OF record
tedious task of convincing doubling
world Of the matchless merits of our
marvellous mineral resources through
the columns Of the CHRONICLE.
Years Of persistent effort in this direc-
tion, with confidence mistaken by the
loud and continuous expressions OF peo-
pie aud press derogatory to the region
we were championing, were practically
barren Of favorable results, and not un-
til recently has tie opinion obtained to
any material extent that our mineral
deposits were worthy of even passing
notice.
1t is with a feeling of graduation be-
yond the measure Of expression that we
now arise to announce the felicitous fact
that the dubious scene has manifestly
changed, the ambiguous plot is no long
er obscure, and that the curtain Of time
is now slowly but surely rising upon the
advent of an era of assured prosperity
in this locality, which promises to ex-
ceed in its measure Of material benefit,
the most sanguine expectations Of the
most hopeful resident of the region.
Confidence, firm and infiexible, has
taken the place Of doubt in the public
mind as to tfe valuable character of our
mines, resulting in the manifestation Of
disposition on the part Of former
doubling capitalists to seek investments
here. The outlook for largely increased
mineral development and profitable
operations has never been so assuring
as it is at this writing, and the CHRoN-
rcLE is more forcibly impressed than
ever before Of the now apparent fact
that Clusters futuA progress will be
both rapid and permanent, and that
when the final sun Of the present ceutu
ry shall set upon the pioneer city, she
will have reached position at the head
of the list of the commercial cities of

Saint Joe, Missouri, has recently been
seriously afflicted with mad dogs, four
teen rabid specimens of the canine
species having been killed in a single
day. Dogs are probably the most
dangerous animals known to civilization,
and yet there would seem to be, in some
localities, fairly plausible excuse for
their existence. in the fact that they are
a source Of revenue to the cities and
towns in which they are located. but
alas not even this doubtful excuse can
be offered in Custer. where there are
more of them to the square yard than
in any other known area OF its dimen-
sions outside of the Sioux reserve. Why
not create and enforce a license ordi-
nance?

pany, or more properly speaking by the
receiver, 20 make fire test assays on
their ore for the valuable and precious
metal gold" This new departure on
the part Of those IN charge of the COM
pany's tin properties will be hailed with
Joy by every one whose interests are in
the Black Hills. This opens up new
avenue for the company TO recover its
losses. and should it undertake to do so,
it would mean great aud good things for
all the Black Hills and especially for
this place and its immediate vicinity.
For long time it has been known that
the company had found gold in their
ores, but for reasons unknown to the
public no effort was ever made to in
vestigate the va ue and extent of those
gold bearing lodges. That commence
ment has been made in this direction
now is entirely due the unceasing ef-
forts of F. p. Williams. In his reports,
which received tn endorsement Of Mr..
Temple, the receivers representative
here, he has persistently urged this in
vestigation, which is now pursued BY
the receiver. Mr.. Williams is to be
congratulated that he has started the
company in direction which may re-
suit in the resumption of work.-Hiil
