two passengers. One was a stout,
heavy-set dark woman, a trifle the
other side OF 10, clad in plain black
and the other "a little girl apparently
her daughter, somewhere near9 years
old. When Hank drove back from
the depot and directed his team
toward Wright's boarding house,
on Upper Sherman street, there was
almost as much excitement as when
the first railroad entered Deadwood.

THE VENEZUELAN COMMISSION.
The President HAS Announced the Commits
sion to Inquire Into the Boundary
Dispute.

WASHINGTON, Jan. president
Cleveland has announced the appoint
ment of the Venezuelan boundary
commission as follows: David j.
Brewer of Kansas, justice of the
United States supreme court; r. III.
Alvey Of Maryland, chief justice of
appeals of the District of Columbia;
Andrew ID. White of New York,
Frederick X. Coudert of New York,
and ID. G. Gilman, president of John
Hopkins university of Maryland.
The commission is regarded here
as a very satisfactory one. Justice
Brewer is Republican i'm politics.
He is a graduate of Yale and spent
considerable time in the practice of
his profession in Kansas, where he
filled number of Judicial offices.
In 1884 he was appointed circuit
Judge of the United States for the
Eight district and was appointed
associate justice of the supreme
court in December. 1889, by Presi-
dent Harrison.
Richard III. Alvey is a Democrat in
politics, and a man of marked legal
ability. 1t was the great reputation
he gained as a Judge i'm the Mary
land courts which led President
Cleveland to appoint him chief Justice
of the court of appeals of this dis
trict,
Andrew ID. White is Republican
i'm politics. He is one of the best
known men of letters in this country,
and, perhaps, i'm the world. He is
an author and historian and has
been president of Cornell University.
Mr.. White was appointed minister
to Russia by President Harrison.
and this position he held through
Harrison's administration and for a
year or more during Cleveland's ad-
ministration.
Frederick II. Coudert is Demo-
crat i'm politics and is one of the best
known members of the bar in New
York. Coudert was one of the coun-
sci for the United States on the
Bering Sea commission and in that
capacity made one of the most
eloquent and effective speeches de-
livered i'm behalf of the American con-
tention.
Daniel q. Gilman, president OF
Johns Hopkins University, is well
known as an authority on interna-
tional law. He was at one time
president of the University of Cali
fornia, and was later called to take
up the work of the organization OF
the university of which he is now at
| the head. One of his principal
acquisitions is a mastery of the
science of physical geography, he
having studied in Germany under
prominent instructors, and in this
country under Guyot. He is the
author of a life of President Monroe
Gilman has never figured promi.
nently i'm politics. At the white
house it is stated that he has nc
politics, but his proclivities are un
derstood to be Republican. Thus
both parties, it will be seen, arr
equally represented on the commits
sion, with the fifth member having
no outspoken policy. All will accept
the places to which they have beer
appointed.

From the phantom rim of a magic

And the world is swayed by its mys-

For earth is the ponderous tongue
that swings
In the tower of time. Thecathedral

Is the ether blue as il rings and rings.
The chimes are the passions that

That tempt and inspire them.
The thought, the deed.

And hushe,l are the voices around

John M. ArNnetrong

Saturday, John M Armstrong
passed over the dividing line between
tliist life and theunknOwn beyond.
He was-years Of age and being
born and raised in this county he
was one of the most popular and best
known uaen in the county. For. six
years he served his county as sheriff
and Ia all that time he was true to
every trust and performed every duty
with .faithfulness and fidelity. AL
thought small man he was brave
and gritty and nothing ever deferred
him from going wherever his official
duty led.
He was kind hearted clever man
and was always charitable and many
poor men will cherish kindly remem-
berence of him who helped them
when they most needed it He has
kept many an innocent man unable
to give security from spending months
in prison cell. He was man who
seemed to love his fellow-me and
if we could only see into the beyond
and see the list of names God has
blessed we believe that like Ben
Adhem's, John Armstrong; will be
amonge the rest
He died trusting in Higher Power
and believing that his sins had been
forgiven. Politics and the trials and
temptations of a public life took him
for time from the straight and mar
row path, but all will be glad to learn
that he again saught and found pardon
and left such testimony that will
be a consolation to his widow.
Consumtion was the cause of his
death and no doubt his life was
shortened by the ardous duties of the
Sheriff's office.
H. leaves wife, son, Robert,
and a little girl, who have the sym.
pathy Of the whole county.
