Republican State Commit
Permanent Organization.

The permanent organization Of the
Custer City Mckinley Club was per-
fected at a meeting held at the court
house on Tuesday evening, where, in
response to a call appearing in the
CnRoSIcLE, a large and enthusiastic
crowd of confident republicans were as
sembled with this purpose in view.
The meeting was called to order by
temporary chairman, w. T.. Benedict,
after which, by request, w. g. Porter
made q short speech which was given
the closest attention and elected a full
measure of applause. The minutes OF
the previous preliminary meeting were
then read and the reports of the various
committees submitted. A constitution
and bylaws were adopted, and the fol.
lowing officers elected: President, S,
n. Fitch; first vice president, ID. w
Webster; second vice president, w. G.
Cubberly secretary, w. A.. White
treasurer, S. r. Shankland Sergeant al
arms, Thos. l. Wheeler. The appoint.
ment of the necessary committees fol
lowed, including a special committee to
secure a hall to be used as a club room
and headquarters for the organization,
which, it is proposed, shall be well sup
piled with good and reliable republican
literature, and be kept open to the
public. Harry ID. Reynolds, Clusters
silver tongued orator, made one of his
characteristic and iDimitable speeches,
Astounding in pertinent and infexible
points which the opposition will find
great difficulty in attempting TO reiute.
His address was well received and APP
plauded TO the echo. The club has q
membership of about 40, with a marked
and unmistakable tendency to rapid
future growth. and will be q very i'm
portant factor in advancing the interests
of the republican party during the pend
ing campaign.

The Baker group of four gold claims,
located .! miles northwest of this city,
and owned by William Tarrant and Ed
ward Rogers Of this place. was sold on
Wednesday to an eastern man of ex-
t~ensive capital and mining experience,
after a very careful and thorough in
vestigation of the property. This prop
erty, like the Empire claim recently
sold by Messrs. Tarrant and Rogers,
which it adjoins on the north, presents
every indication Of permanent value,
and promises to become, in time, one OF
the leading gold producers Of the Hills.
The consideration, which is doubtless
large, has not been given out, but it is
known that in addition to whatever
sun may have been advanced rs a first
payment, five thousand dollars has been
deposited in the First National bank OF
this city by the purchasers to be used
in the development of the property. 1t

The Tannhars, Institnta.

The annual institute for the teachers
of Custer county opened at s o'clock last
Monday morning with ~thirty-fiye in
attendance. The work vas begun
promptly, and the interest manifested
the first day has not lessened in the
least. Indeed it would be scarcely pos
sible for q gathering of teachers under
the leadership of Prof. +. L. Lymer to
be other than interested and enthused,
for he is thoroughly familiar with his
work, and is an adept handler of
students. In his capacity as conductor,
he demonstrates the sound judgment of
superintendent Drew in choosing him
as leader, for he fills the place in the
best possible amer
Prof. w. NJ. Peterson, ofBelle Fourche,
who is Prof. Lymer's assistant, is a
teacher well known throughout the
Hills, and his earnestness in his work
rarely fails to impress his students.
1t is unnecessary TO mention the ex-
c~ellencies of the primary work Of Mrs.
Thornby. Her reputation as a special
list in that line has extended beyond
this locality, and her services have al
ways been in demand. In her classes
she is charmipgly enthusiastic, and her
interest in her work is very infectious.
No teacher can come under her influ-
ence and not carry away much of the
spirit Of the true teacher. Too much
force cannot be gwen to the necessity
Of better primary work, for it is in the
first grades of a school that children re.
ceive the impression that will endure
through their whole lives. Mrs. Thorn
by, and all other specialists in primary
work, are doing the best thing possible
for the public school system in putting
the best methods and the most APPROX
ed ideas before teachers.
Superintendent Drew's health has not
allowed her to do any instructing, but
she has devoted her energies TO the
supervision of the whole, and admirably
has that work been accomplished. Prof.
Dandy has taken her classes and does
the work in his we'll known and &C.
ceptable manner.
On Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock
the regular exercises Of the day were
suspended, and a talk by Pres. Hancher
on Good Reading was listened to.
The subject WAS very opportune, and
put before the teachers in a most
forcible way, the necessity of patient,
earnest effort on the part of the teacher
to impart to the pupil the ability to
interpret written thought to q listener.
Pres. Hancher gave the requisites OF
good reading. suggested some methods
by which the desired ends might be OBJ
tanned, and then read several selections
showing the difference between reading
and ~elocution. 1t is unnecessary to state
that the talk was appreciated by all who
listened.
On Saturday, the institute will hold a
session at Sylvan lake. On Sunday
morning a sermon to teachers will be
preached in the Congregational church,
by Rev. ]. III. Keyan, and in the even
ing at the NJ. L. church, Rev. Mr.. Bos-
we'll will address his remarks to the
same class.
Next weeks session promises TO be
even better attended than this weeks
has been, and everyone is cordially in
vited 10 visit the institute, see what
kind of work is done, and make the
