name. Tho drawing resulted in two
names, Hiram and Ulysses.
Ulysses, it is said, was cast into
the hat by Grandmother Simpson, who
had been reading translation Of Fene-
Ions "Telemachus' and had been much
impressed by the description of Ulysses
given by Mentor to Telomachus. He
was gentle Of speech, benefcent of
mind. " 1.-The most patient of men"

Enlistment of a gold reduction plant

paratively i~nexhaustible bodies Of val
liable ore known 20 exist in this locality.
| All past efforts in this direction on the
part of our citizens, which we regret to
say have not been as earnest and de.
termined as they should have been,
have failed Of successful results, and
yielding to the force Of ~discouraging cir
cuinstances our people. for a time, seem
| ed to have abandoned all hope OF the
realization Of the greatly desired object.
1t is gratifying to state that this i'm
portant matter is again being contem-
plated, with Il brighter outlook for its
! ultimate success han ever before. A
proposition has been submitted to q
resident mining man of this city, from
an eastern company, contemplating the
| erection of a plant of fair capacity for
the reduction of the gold ores of this
district. The company having a know
ledge Of the character and value of the
ores Of the district, agree to put in a
suitable plant upon the condition that
the citizens of this city donate a con-
v~enient mill site, and lumber necessary
for the construction Of the building.
This proposition is being met with q
hearty response on the part Of the cit
liens, who more than ever before real
ize the importance Of the establishment
Of the industry, and the necessity of
greater exertion on their part TO secure
it. Suitable grounds for the mill site,
and also the necessary lumber have al
ready been donated. Merchants have
signiied their willingness to furnish
nails and other material used in the
erection of the plant, and the local
miners, being enthusiastic over the
matter, have also agreed to gratuitously
perform all Of the work of e~xcayating
that will be required. The proposition
may be said TO have been fully accepted,
the offer of aid on the part of the cit.
liens been even in excess Of what has
been asked by the company, and it is TO
be devoutly hoped that the enterprise,
now in its incipicncy. may eventually
bud and blossom forth as a living real
ity. We hope to have something furth-
er to report in regard to this matter in
future issues. "

1t may be of interest to our readers to
know that Mr.. John f. Dewey, of St.
Charles, Illinois, the editor of the
Valley Chronicle, and nephew Of J. II.
Cruson, of Custer, was on Saturday last,
March 7, nominated for clerk Of the
Circuit Court, of Kane county as a re-
publican, by a unanimous vote of the
convention. At the election two years
ago Kane county, (Which includes the
cities of Elgin and Aurora cast $500
republican and 800 democratic votes,
so it will be seen that a nomination is
equivalent to an election. Mr.. Dewey
is known to many citizens Of Custer,
having visited here in 1894 and 1895.
Although only 80 years of age he has
been prominent in Illinois politics for
many years. In 1883 he served as
Lieutenant Governors secretary, and in
1887 and 1889 was chief enrolling and
%engrossing clerk of the senate. A year
later he was appointed marine deputy
in charge Of the part of Chicago, and
from 1901 to 1894 occupied the response
BILE post Of confidential secretary to the
collector of customs, at Chicago, receiv-
ing a salary of $1,000 a year. He has
also been a member of the republican
senatorial committee and secretary o.
the State League of republican clubs.
