The entertainment given at the court
house on Saturday evening under the
auspices Of the ladies of the NJ. i
Church Aid Society was fairly well
~patronized by our citizens, and was re.
plete with entertaining and amusing
features. The children participating,
considering their limited age, rendered
their parts in a very creditable manner
and were accorded a goodly measure of
well merited applause. A humorous
defamation. by Miss Grace Johnesso,
was exceptional in it's mastery and
Impressive rendition, and was received
with the unmistakable evidences of
accomplished mays stage arrcrts. 1ne
music rendered by the male qnartette
was fully up to the Custer standard,
which implies a degree Of merit unsur-
passed in the west, and the Dwarfs, in
their unique and pleasing extravaganza
made q hit that would cause the average
travelling comedy troupe to turn green
with sheer envy. Upon the whole tho
entertainment may justly be said to
haye been very creditable to its promo
tors, and exceptionally pleasing and
satisfactory to its patrons.

An appropriate service in memory of
Mrs. Mary O'Connor, wife of Joseph
O'Connor, Sr., was held by her pastor,
at Evergreen, last Sabbath afternoon.
Mrs. O'Connor has been an accute

the winter left for Wisconsin, hoping
that the change might prove beneficial.
But after q few weeks she grew violent

her. Her life was extremely beautiful
for its fervent piety. The stricken

Messrs. Waite and Gibbs Yesterday
disposed ofthe~irinterest in tho flol ence
group of mines to the Golden Reward
Mining syndicate, the consideration
being 100000, and with their interest
goes the control of the stocks. The
group is practically undeveloped, but
little work having been done upon it,
but that has been of such a nature as to
warrant mining men to declare that it
is one of the most valuable properties in
the silicious district. There are seven
claims in the group, which is situated
in the Rnby Basin district, ard Is sur.
rounded by some Of the best producing
mines in the Black Hills, lying just west
Of the Fannie and the Golden Reward,
while on the north and west it is adj
joined by producing mines owned in
part by the Golden Reward company.
The disposal of the control Of tho prop
erty has been under consideration for
some time past, and its contamination,
while effected several days ago, was not
made public until yesterday. People
familiar with the ground regard the
price paid a very low one, for by its
situation it certainly. they say. must be
as valuable as the adjoining properties.
Messrs. Waite and Gibbs are interested
in a number Of claims adjoining the
Florence-1l6 acres in all-which they
consider just rs valuable as the Flor
ence. and it is understood, have receiv-
ed flattering offers for Its purchase, but
have not as yet thought very seriously
Of accepting any of thcm.-Pioneer.
SUCCESSFUL TRIAL RUN.
The most favorable reports come from
the Neil property at Bismuth upon
which Messrs. Frederick G. Davis and
Frank Langan of Minneapolis have just
completed a ten stamp mill, for an in
tsrcst. During MIR. DAVIS recent visit
n-iarge amounteof ore from tho eight
foot ledge in the tunnel was run through.
The mill furnished by the Edwin p. Al.
lis Co. Of Milwaukee, and the Wood
bury concentrator worked to perfection.
The News is informed that this test
demonstrates the fact that the free gold
values received will pay the entire cost
of working leaving a snug profit. The
concentrates saved run from FIVE to
seven per cent from the ore crushed.
and range in value from s75 to $500 par
ton. In addition this remarkable ore
body carries something oyer three per
cent of metallic bismuth, or about 65
pounds to the ton, worth approximately
So per pound. While the present use
of bismnth in making fusible alloys.
calico printing. and refining iron cast
ings is limited, tho output must neces.
sarily have a large commercial value.
Bismuth is at present syndicated, n new
source of production and the lessened
cost would naturally increase it's con-
sumption. Messrs. Langan and Davis.
Neal and Pamerle are to be congrstu.
lated upon the successful opening and
equipment of 60 valuable a property.
The News looks to the Bismuth, q region
banded with similar large ore bodies to
become an active camp during the pres.

Congressional Proceedings.

SATURDAY, February 15.-The senate was
not in session. - The house judiciary
committees substitute for MIR. Boatner's
resolution regarding the refusal OF Comp
troler Bowler to certify the sugar bounty
claims was passed In the house. Ii reads:
" Resolved, That the committee on the jul
dietary is hereby authorized and directed to
inquire as to the condition of the law on
the subject of the right OF executive officers
of the government in the several depart
ments thereof 10 refuse to enforce, execute
or comply with the provisions of any act Of
the congress of the United States on the
ground Of its alleged unconstitutionality or
for other reasons, and TO report to the house
by bill or otherwise" Mr.. Terry of Ar
kansas said he was not in sympathy with
the Interior object sought to be secured by
the resolution, believing that an executive
officer enforced an unconstitutional law at
his peril. However, IL the house thought
the committee should enter upon the in
quiry into the law on the subject, he should
not object.
MosDAY.-No business OF public impor-
lance was transacted in the senate -
In the house Mr.. Cannon OF Illinois re-.
ported from the committee on appropria'
tions the urgent deficiency bill, which, with
the senate amendments thereto. bad been
referred to that committee. The committee
recommended concurrence In the several
amendments made by the senate and non
concurrence in most OF them, Mr.. Hoar OF
Massachusetts presented petition from
Maria A. Shipey for the establishment OF
the Oath Of June, the anniversary of the dis
covery OF the North American coast by
John and Sebastian Cabot in 1887 as a ma
tionai holiday, II was referred to the ju-
dietary commttee.

Health Notes,

A DELIGHTFULLY."- refreshing drink
for invalids is made by throwing a
small handful of dried raspberries into
a bowl of water. A tiny bit of stick
cinnamon may be added if desired.
MISS FRANCES e. WILLARD is re-
ported to have said that the total
amount of force used in the compress
sion of women's waists and feet would
suffice to run all the mills in the
world.
A severe case of blood poisoning not
long ago was traced to the wearing of q
black dotted veil. A slight sore on the
lip became moistened, and the veil
adhered to it, unnoticed by the wearer,
who nearly lost her life in conse-
quence.
ONE drachm of powdered cinnamon,
made in pill with few drops of
water, and taken morning and evening,
10 highly recommended as cure for
dysentery. Two doses are usually suf-
iicient, and more than six should not
be taken.

EFFICIENCY Rules.

1t is good thing to learn few, and
carry them always in your head. You
are liable any day to be confronted
perhaps have to be your own physician /;
or your friends may be hurt, and re-
quire immediate assistance; or some
stranger may be before you needing
quick care, in order to save him from
pain or death. You then have a
chance to prove yourself hero, or a
helpless, useless, inefficient looker-on,
whom nobody respects, or notices, I'm.
less you happen to get in the way. If
you "keep your head " and few good
rules within it, you may some time be
of more use to the world in a day than
you have been before in all your pre-.
vious existence. Whoever has once
saved life, walks afterward all the
straighter and prouder for it. Here
are few things you should learn by
heart:
BURNS AND SCALDs.-Cover with
cooking-soda, and lay wet cloths over it.
LIGHTNINa.-Dash cold water over a
person struck.
SUNsTRoKE.-Loosen clothing; get
patient into shade, and apply ice water
to head.
MAD Doc OR SNAKE BITE. - Tie
cord tight above wound. Suck wound
and cauterize with white-hot iron at
once, or cut out adjoining parts with
sharp knife.
VENoMoUs INSECTS STINGs.-Ap-
ply weak ammonia, oil, salt water, or
iodine.
FAINTINa.--Pace fiat on back; al
low fresh air, and sprinkle with water.
TESTS OF DEATH.-Hold mirror to
mouth; if living, moisture with gather.
Push pin into flesh. If dead the hole
will remain; if not, it will close up.
DRowNINa.-Loose clothing. Lay
person on his stomach; lift by middle
so that head hangs down, and jerk
body few times, so as to empty lungs
of water. Pull tongue forward. Imi-
tate motion of respiration by alternately
expanding and compr essing lower ribs,
about twenty times per minute. Apply
warmth and friction to the extremities.
Take deep breath and breathe it into
the mouth of patient, compress the
chest to expel the air, and repeat the
operation again and again. Don't give
