A social, with social features so posi-
tive and pronounced as to be unmis-
taxable, sandwiched with strawberries
and song, the former fresh and luscious,
and rendered more grateful to the taste
by the addition Of the choicest Jersey
cream, and the latter rendered in q
manner which was most charming to
the ear, was given by the Congregational
ladies at their church on Tuesday even
ing. While the dainty edibles formed
a feature of the OCCASION which could
not have been otherwise than pleasing,
the real. solid, substantial enjoyment
was due to the unalloyed air of sociabili.
ty which so msnifestly prevailed to the
close. The church social should be
what its name implies, and the Congre
gational ladies of this city, by their
marked social demeanor on occasions OF
this kind would seem to be endowed
with the fullest realization of this i'm
portant fact. Other entertaining feat
ures of a literary character were pre-.
sented, adding materially to the interest
Of an occasion which will be remember.
cd for its pleasing and enjoyable feat
ures.

Cyclone ON Indian Crack.

On last Sunday afternoon the settlers
on Indian creek, about IL miles north of
Snoma, and 80 miles northeast of this
city, thought that their last hour had
come. Between 8 and 4 o'clock q
cyclone struck the locality cutting a
swsth SO feet wide and destroying much
property on its course. The heaviest
loosers were Peter Peterson, whose
house was carried away and not a stick
of it remaining. Peter laid down in a
ditch until the storm passed over. About
20 feet from where he lay a large tree 8
feet in diameter was twisted around and
uprooted as though it was q pipe stem.
Arpan's ranch was the next in line
and though his homo escaped, every
pane of glass in it was broken by hail,
some of which were as large as hens
eggs, Mr.. Arpan had a good substan-
tial dam in the creek that fed his irriga-
ton ditch 32 feet of the latter was
lumed with two inch plank and covered
With a foot and q half Of soil. After the
storm had passed not a vestige of the
dam or flume could be found. This
proves a serious loss as he had just
finished arrangements to irrigats his
ranch this week. During the storm he
and his wife with their eleven children
took refuge in the kitchen waiting for
what, they knew not.
Fred Ross was next in line. His
home was unroofed, twisted around and
badly wrecked. The Jackson place
came next, his home being completely
demoralized. SO far as heard from no
enc was physically injured. From In
dian creek the cyclone passed west
toward Owl creek, from which section
no information has yet been received

The Hot Springs Herald reports the re-
Hills College, from the Methodist Gen.
eral Conference, in CLEVELAND, Ohio,
and the accomplishment of the two
objects of his mission. First, the Black
Hills Mission Conference will be entitled
to change itself into an annual instead
of mission conference in the next four
years. Second. An enabling act was
passed which will permit the union Of
the Black Hills Mission and Northwest
Nebraska Conference If the same il de-
sired by q majority of the members of
the two conferences. It. is thought that
this union will take place as most ofthe
interested ministers are in favor of il.
Such a change would be Of great value
to Black Hills College as it would then
be tho official school of the two con-
~ferences and consequently would have
q much larger patronizing territory.
DR.. Hancher had q delightful trip and
renewed acquaintances with some of his
old time ministerial friends. The pres
ident is greatly elated owe the fact that
he 10 not situated this year IS he was
last at this time. Then he was en- route

Black Hills college the first days Of

Mention Of the musical lecture by the
Rev. G. II. MacAdam, of Deadwood in
the NJ. E. Church, on the evening of the
10Th was inadvertently overlooked in
last weeks issue. We sincerely regret
this and rise to confess. But to the
lecture. 1t was a rare treat. No such
entertainment has eyer been given be-
fore a Custer audience. Mr.. MacAdam
has q rich mellow voice, full of pathos,
and entirely at his command. Sym.
pathetic and soulful by nature, and hav.
ing a lofty purpose to better his hcarer,
tits not surprising that all pronounced
the lecture very fine. All were loud in
its praise, not alone for its musical
merit, bnt also for the unique telling of
the story, the adaptation of poetry and
song, the viyidness of description. The
application of its truth touched the ten
derest chord in the human heart. Mr..
Mac Adam is an artist in the truest
sense. He will be ever welcome before
Custer audience.

Demand for Increased Mining Facilities

Demand for Increased Mining Facilities.
1t seems shameful, says the Bald
Mountain News, to see so many valu-
able mines, capable Of producing thou.
sands of tons of ore, laying idle and
unproductive. However there can be
no help for the present condition Of
affairs, as III facilities are incapable of
treating one-tenth part Of the ore that
can be produced from this district alone.
However, we will continue to dwell in
hopes until our facilities are increased
sufi cient to handle at least half Of the
available ores at eur command. AS
the situation stands at the present time
when n mine is started up, if it is
successful in finding homo treatment
for its product, it does not add to the
mines in operation nor the employment
of more miners, but simply causes an
other mine to be indefinitely closed
down. Such conditions cannot always
exist.

ed th~.peaiatpae-.r~s- -~r-i-- .sw~
Manufacturing Company, and comment-
ed upon the unusual sagacity of the
courts in naming for this position a man
familiar with tin and other mines and
their products. We think it was the
general expectation that the parties
most interested would, by taking re-
c%siver's certificates or otherwise, place
the receiver in funds with which he
could demonstrate by intelligent sam.
ping and delopment what is the aver.
age assay in tin of the principal pros
poets which are the property of this
unfortunate company. 1t is we'll known
that under the original management
vast sums were expended in the pur-
chase of claims, numbering over 800, in
the erection of costly mills, the laying
out of the town sites, etc, etc, while
comparatively little was expended in
development work, SO little. in fact. that
on most of the properties the assessment
work had not been sufficient to enable
the company to acquire a patent.
Two years have dragged along, and
for some reason the problem is no
nearer a solution. The lawsuit, as in
all similar cases, is dragging its slow
length, and has proceeded no further
than the examination of one witness in
New York and some three or four in
South Dakota. Considering the num-
Der of high.priced lawyers involved on
both sides of the case in this country, to
say nothing of the London solicitors, 1T
least 100000 must have been expended
in legal warfare, when probably one
half of this amount carefully expended
by DIR. Ledoux, the receiver, would
haye determined the question whether
there was tin in any of the properties
likely to be worked remuneratively.
The pity is the greater since the dis
covery of gold in the southern Hills has
surrounded the Harvey Peak property
with little prospects and a few real
mines which show gold to an extent
rendering it likely that profitable mines
may be established in the district.-New

Prepare for the Picnic.

1t is only a matter Of IL days between
the ever existing now, and the pros.
pective Pioneer picnic. and now, right
now is the proper time TO commence
preparing for the festive occasion.
While it is true that Custer will not be
expected to incur large expense in
providing elaborate entertainment for
her visitors on this occasion, it is ex-
pected that she will at least put herself
in q condition to greet them with a
clean face, and a welcome smile. Her
proverbially benign face is now sadly
marrsd by rotting rubbish and dirty
debris, the removal of which would
greatly add to her appearance, and
place her in a far more presentable
condition. There are a number of back
yards the appearance Of which might be
materially improved at a nominal ex-
psnse. The appearance of the streets
and alleys, the broadcast and best in the
Hills, might also be made more at.
t~ractive by a little attention on the part
of the citizens in the matter of cleaning
up the trash which is now scattered in
unsightly profusion about their business
houses and residences.
Let US brush up a little, put on q clean
municipal shir-suit, SO TO speak, give the
old pioneer town a bath If necessary
and give the old timers a royal, hearty,
clean welcome, that will cement the
good impression made upon them on a
former occasion, when Custer presided
oyer the first and only genuine, grand,
gorgeous and gratuitous picnic known
to the history of the society. Let the
guards polish up their parapharnalia, the
band tune their horns, and everybody
go into active training for the occasion.
Clusters reputation is at stake; let us
preserve it at all hazards.
