WEDDING sUPERsTITIoNs.

If the wedding ring is lost the couple will separate.
 If an apple be thrown upon the roof of the bridegroom's house, 1t is sign the bride will be happy.
 The bride must not look in her glass after performing her toilette unless one hand is ungloved.
 It is unlooky for bride to put her bare feet on any bare floor on her wedding night.
 To change the name and not the letter is to change for worse and not for bet ter.
 If the bride open an umbrella in the house, bad luck will surely follow.
 It is unlucky for two brides to meet in a church.

The Chautau,,uu at Dea,lwootl.

Arrangements are about completed
for the holding of the Chautauqua
assembly at Deadwood from July %
to August 6. Chancellor Hancher has
procured a program that is said to be
of superior merit and we trust will be
appreciated by residents of the nor
thern Hills. The Chautauqua certainly
deserves the liberal patronage of the
people of Deadwood. "There is no
doubt" says the Rapid Journal, "but
what the people of Deadwood will do
everything possible to make the assem-
bis success, and in that effort should
be ably seconded by every person in
the Hills who has any desire for the
betterment of the Hills intellectually.' -

Fight ON I,esu,,,nission.

Papers in an action brought in the
name of the state against Thomas Thor
son, secretary of state, enjoining him
from certifying the resubmission
amendment to the various county
auditors so it might be placed on the
official ballot, we're sent to Pierre few
days ago for service by Attorney s. H.
Cramer, of Aberdeen.
Upon the complaint was the indorse.
ment of Attorney General Crawford to
the effect that in his opinion the ques.
ticn is of such grave interest and i'm.
portance that the supreme court is
warranted in exercising it's original
jurisdiction. The case will probably
therefore, be heard by the supreme
court at the special term of July.
The prohibitionists maintain that
the amendment was not constitutional:
that it was not proposed by the legisla-
ture and was not agreed to by majority
vote of the members of both houses.
They seem to feel confident of making
their point.

The Famous NiOlinist, with u Corps of
Noted Artists, Here June a..
The grand concert which will be given
at the opera house in this city ON Sat
urday night, June 27, by the famous
Hungarian violinist, Edouard Remenyi,
and the artists who accompany him, is
looked forward to with delight by the
music loving residents of Hot Springs.
1t is the chance of a life time to hear
the one to whom alone, it is said, has
fallen the heritage of Paganini's erratic
and brilliant, but masterful musical
genius. He is one of the meteors, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean, which flash
at intervals across the sky. AS play
er who can achieve the most astonish-
ing technical effect, his like has never
been heard. The Boston Advertiser
says of him: He has perfect mastery
of the king of Instruments and seems
to delight in making it do unheard- of
things and emit sounds that are not
only wonderful in their liquid sweet
ness, but decidedly unique and sur
prising. Every note of his playing had
in it something to claim the attention
of the audience, and they gave him
applause without stint.
The artists who accompany Mr..
Remenyi have received press notices
of the most complimentary character.
OF Miss Pauline Stein the Salt Lake
Daily Tribune says: Her voice is a
very sweet and bird-like soprano which
she has evidently cultivated with great
care. Her high notes are full and clear
and her trills are faultless.
The Rochester Daily Record and
Union says of Miss Roman, the pianist:
Among the many fine pianists who have
appeared here she easily takes first
rank. Her technique is admirable and
the expression artistic and soulful.
She is an artist in the true meaning of
the term.
Mr.. Eugene E. Davis, the director of
the opera company is also an excellent
vocalist, says the Sandusky Daily Reg
lister. In the difficult role of Valentine
he again displayed his broad musician
ship. His voice is full of power, SYM
pathetic and yet lacking no sonorous
qualities necessary to fill the large
auditorium.

Watertown, Col c. j. Anderson, of
Plankinton, Judge c. S. Palmer, of

transacted, including careful eXamin-

n thorough inspection of the home was
made and it was found that there were
ho grounds for complaint. Capt.
Lucas was elected commandant, and
Mrs. Lucas, matron, for the ensuing
year.
a resolution was adopted by the
board to the effect that any member of
the home who marries during his resi-.
dence there is liable to suspension, as
only those who are unable to support
themselves are entitled to membership
in the home. 1t is certainly just and
reasonable ruling and it's adoption will
meet with general approval.
The reelection of Capt. Lucas and
his estimable wife to the positions of
commandant and matron, respectively,
is but Just and merited compliment
to efficient officers. All tho other

took the stage for Cripple Creek at
Colorado Springs and arrived there
about o'clock p. nj. The city, being
in II depression or basin, you can see it
for some little time before reaching it..
l will try and give you an idea of its
location. Take that partof Hot Springs
lying between Stewards hill and Battle
mountain, fill up about even with said
Stewarts hill, make College hill little
more uneven or rolling, and you have
some idea of the location of Cripple
Creek.
There is room enough where this
city is built to contain city of fifty to
seventy-five thousand people and all
the necessary houses not to be crowded.
In viewing Cripple Creek at distance
you cannot distinguish the burnt dis
trict from the other, but as you enter
it, you can see what terrible havoc
the fire has done. It is said that about
1so acres were burnt over. Reader, did
you ever see an ant hill that something
had torn down or knocked the top off,
and notice the thousand and one black
ants busy at work trying to repair the
damage; how they appear to be going
in all directions and you. wonder what
they are all trying to do, and if they
know themselves. If you have, then
you have some idea of how Cripple
Greek looked to me. The streets were
half filed with stone, wood and sand,
and thousands of men, with blackened
faces from the dirt and SCOT that the
wind was driving hither and yon, were
working upon foundations and half
completed buildings, or standing upon
the streets in idleness; and you have
only faint conception of what you
can see here every day. The first thing
did was to look for place to stay all
night, which found at 75 cents per
night. Then went to look up some
one whom knew; the first one found
was Mr.. Liebmann, who is quite CON-
fortably located and is doing very
nice BUSINESS. there is some danger
| that he will spoil his pretty mouth by
smiling SO audibly. We cannot blame
him as nothing makes man feel better
than a good business. His clerks are
happy as turtledoves and have no de-
sire to return to the flesh pots of Hot
Springs. Mr.. Liebmann has treated
me SO nicely since my arrival that
should consider myself very migrate
full if I did not wish him great pros
perity in his new home.

other places more advantageous. Mr..
