BLACK HILLS GOLD OUTPUT!
Conservative Estimates Place the Amount
at. Over 01O,oOO,ooO.

i Estimates of the gold output of the
Black Hills for the present year place
the amount at $1o,ooo,oo0, with proba.
bility of it reaching $4,000, 900. The es-'
innate is based on the product Of mines
now in operation for the past eight
months, which have averaged $4,000
tons per month of siliceous ores from tho
Bald mountain section and 500 tons Of
the same character of ore per month
from the Yellow Creek camp, and the
properties in and around Lead on the
Poorman divide.
The output of free milling ores will
aggregate for the year in round numbers
100000 tons, principally by the Home
stake and associate companies. The
siliceous ores from the Bald mountain
section have an average value of $25
gold, and those from Yellow creek and
Lead yield $50 gold per ton. The free
milling ores will average 1928 per ton!
The output for the year will be: OF
siliceols ore 10000 tons, worth s25
per ton, and 1900 tons worth $50 per ton,
total value of S5,oeO,O0o. The $4,000
tons of free milling ore will yield s4,-
o37,5oo, a total for Lawrence county
alone of $e,Oe7,5o To this must be
added the product of Pennington and
Custer counties, data Of which are not at;
present obtainable.

MONUMENT FOR A COW.
Lawsuit atGalesburg Which Has Peculiar

Features.
Justice Holcomb had a curious case
before him at Galesburg, ILL.,, the other
day. Mrs, Mabel Davis had an old mon.
umcnt which she intended to make use
of by planting it at the head of her hus-
band when he would make his final de-
parture from earthly scenes.
In an evil moment she cast an en-
vious eye on fine COW which she liked
better than the prospect of soon making
use of the head stone, so she made o
dicker with the owner of the sleek, we'll
fed mixer, with the result that she
traded the useless marble shaft for the
cow, even up. Then it was that her liege
lord got his mad" up and offered one
Ralph Scott $3.50 if he would procure a
buyer for the COW.
Soon purchaser was Forthcoming,
and the gentle specimen of the kline
tribe was led off, and $40 less So so found
Judgment in Mr.. Davis pocket.
Now comes Mrs. Davis, who deposeth
that ownership of the COW rested in her,
that her property was traded for 1t, and
brings an action in replevin to recover
the animal which Mr.. O'Connor, the
buyer stoutly contests.
An array of counsel is engaged on both
sides, and the case is,likely to gain a
place in history,

MRS. CASTLE GUILTY.
Bentenced to Three Months Imprisor

ment for ShOpliftlng.
London, Nov. 1.-THE TRIAL of Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter NJ. Castle, of San Francisco,
charged with shoplifting, took place in
the sessions house at Clerkenwell Fri
day and resulted in Mr.. Castle being ac-
quilted and Mrs. Castle being sentenced
to three months imprisonment without
hard labor. There We're seven indict-
ments against the prisoners charging
them with stealing articles, the total
value of which was 6 43, 10 shillings.
AS the chairman pronounced the SEN
tence all eyes turned upon Mrs. Castle,
who stood dazed for moment, and
then, as the full import of the chair
mans words come to her, became hys-
terical, obliging the nurses and prison
warden to support her. She then began
10 moan piteously, and finally to scream
and struggle violently. She was re-
moved from the room as quickly as pos
sible, and as she was being taken away
cried out:
"What does it mean? My God! what
does 1t mean?"
A good many of the ladies in the
courtroom exhibited strong emotion,
several of them weeping and all ex-
pressing deep sympathy with the unfor-
tunate prisoner, whose screams could
be heard family issuing from the I'M
derground passage through which she
was taken, even after the courtroom
had been cleared.
Application has already been made to
the home Office for Mrs. Castles re-
lease, and it is understood that her sem
tence is practically formal and that She
will be liberated in few days.
The Central News announces that
petition was lodged at the home office
Friday afternoon praying for the
queens clemcncy in the case of Mrs.
Castle. United States Ambassador
Bayard has also addressed note to
Sir Matthew w. Ridley, home secre-
tary, on the subject.
Several of the merchants who had
testified to having lost property found
in the possession of Mrs. Castle, said
after the trial that they We're convinced
that the lady was mentally irresponsi-
BILE and that they had no expectation
that she would be convicted.

pened an Indiana Woman.
Mrs. John Bumgardner, of Lagro, Ind. :,
is said to have been the victim of a
wonderful accident the other morning.
the cause thereof being one of those pc
culiar and unaccountable pranks some
times played by lightning. 1T is al
legged, and upon reliable authority, too,
that the aforesaid lady had three of
her toe nails amputated by severe
stroke of electricity, the shock being
such as to cause her no other trouble
or pain.
1t seems that the lady was walking
about the floor with bare feet, having
left her bed for the purpose of closing
the house to keep out the rain, and
was just in the act Of letting down q
window when blinded by an unusually
terrific flash of lightning She felt the
shock for only moment, and then fully
recovered, though considerably fright
ened. Shortly afterward Mrs. Bum
gardner noticed that something was
wrong with her right foot, and upon
making an examination she found that
three toe nails were missing. The
wounded members bled but very little
and looked as though the nails had
been amputated by an experienced
surgeon who understood the art of maxi
ing a neat, clean job.
AS matter of course, the citizens
OF Lagro, philosophers every one, have
all kinds of theories to advance for this
very remarkable case, remarks the Wa
bash Times, but as it has unbounded
confidence in their ability it will not
disturb the equilibrium of their sage
philosophical calculations by asserting
that it do beat all creation"

"A New York Recorder special from
Key West, Fla, says: One Of the blood
lest encounters of the Cuban war &C!
CURED near Bayamo, where company
of Spanish troops was ambushed, and!
with one exception, completely exi
terminated by 400 insurgents, who
formed q part of Rabi's column.
According to advices received here.
the Spanish garrison has been shut up
in Bayamo for several weeks by the
insurgents. Provisions and ammuni,
tions were scarce and the commander
sent word to his superior officer at San.
tiago de Cuba that he would be forced
to surrender Bayamo unless relief came
soon.
The Spanish commander was notified
that convoy was on the way to
Bayamo, and he was instructed to send
out a detachment to meet it. Accord
ingly $50 picked Spanish troops, UNDER
Capt. jose Perez, were ordered to meet
the convoy. I.
The Spaniards left the town expect
ing to meet the relief train near Bayamo.
They marched till noon without meet
ing the convoy, and then halted for
dinner.
Rabi, who was aware of the move
ments of the Spaniards, detached 400
men to meet the company sent out from
Bayamo, while with his main body he
advanced to intercept the convoy.
These 400 men fell upon the 100 Span1
iards while the latter were at dinner. i
The Spaniards were completely sur!
prised, and were cut to pieces almost
before they were aware Of the enemy's
presence. The Cubans, after firing one
volley, rushed on the Spaniards with
their machetes, and two-thirds of those
killed were hacked to pieces. Only one
of the 100 escaped. He was left for,
dead, but, revived and, although hor1
;ribly wounded, made his way back to
Bayamo and told the story Of the
slaughter. !.
In the meantime Rabi, with the main
force, had captured the convoy, which
was accompanied only by company Of
Spanish volunteers, who surrendered
when they saw they were surrounded.
The convoy was very valuable, the
.Cubans capturing 2oo,o 900 cartridges and
500 rifles, besides provisions, clothing
and medical supplies.

PATENTS A DANCE.
Iois Fuller Wants Exclusive Right o.
Her Own Invention.

They patent a great many kinds Of
things nowadays, but itremained for an
actress to invent and patent the para.
phernalia of a serpentine dance. The
records at Washington show that the ac-
tress in question has patented a skirt,
decorated with serpents in various at
titudes of squirm; another skirt, which
is fastened around the head instead Of
at the waist; various implements for
propelling the garment in fantastic
curves, and scheme for lighting the
stage during dance from points above,
below, and all around the dancer.
The patent documents are accom-
panied by illustrations. An ugly-look-
ing dress with the snakes upon It's sur
face is quite different garment to the
view when it is being waved to and fro
by its wearer, with ten or Is brilliant
calcium lights In various colors shining
upon it from the flies, wings, and from
underneath the stage. Then it's fllmy'
fabric shines like silver, or gold, or q
waving flood of purple, as it passes un-
der the changing lenses of the calciums,l
while the embroidered serpents seem to
glide over its surface with ever-increas.l
ing velocity, until the lights are sud-
denly turned out and the whirling form,
OF the dancer is lost to view.
The serpentine dance has developed,
INTO an undertaking that involves o.
very considerable outlay and employs
the services of many assistants. 1t is
very different sort of thing from what.
it was few years ago, when itsurprised,
and delighted the audiences at Hoyt's
theater during the long run of "a Trip
to Chinatown" AT that time two lights,
were used in the wings and one more at
the rear of the stage.
1t is not uncommon nowadays to get
up dance requiring five times as many,
lights, each of which commands the un-
divided attention of an electricians as.
sistant. serpentine dances in these
times, as may be readily imagined, are
expensive luSuries. They owe their de-
yelopment to their present stage of per-
lection to La Loie" Fuller, who is the
inventor and patentee Of the various de-
vices referred to.

Rev. B. E. S. Ely, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, of Rockford, ILL.,,
was awakened at midnight by burglar
who stood over his bed and with drawn
revolver demanded whatever money he
might have in the house. He told him
he had none, but the burglar began a
search, gathering up gold watch and
whatever articles he could find. He
had not finished when Mrs. Ely decided
to make an appeal to him. She began
by asking him whether he did not have
q mother or sister who would grieve
over the theft he was about to commit.
The burglar paused in his work to reply
that he once had mother and she was
an angel on earth. The appeal doubt
less touched his heart, for he left the
room. On the way downstairs he
knocked over a table bearing a flower
pot, which he stopped to straighten up,
and on this he left all the articles he
had taken from the room of the min
lister.
