Al and Richard Standen. who own a
group of mine claims situated about
seven miles from Hill City, have made
rich strike during the past week that
bids fair to develop into something
phenominal. While carrying on pros

will run about sl5 per ton. The ledge
can be traced about 800 feet across
their property and test of the rock
taken from several places along the
outcropping, indicates that it is all
fab'ilously rich. The specimens of ore
brought in by NJ. Standen Saturday
show free gold in large quantities.
The boys are naturally iubilant over
their good fortune and will prosecute
development work with redoubled

he drifted into the Black Hills and in
1883 entered the employ of the Anglo
American cattle company at the Bar
L ranch, of which Sam Moses was
at that time foreman. Mr.. GODDARD
worked for the company until 1885.
In 1886 Mr.. GODDARD was elected sheriff
of Fall River county and served until
November, 1887, when he resigned to
take the responsible position of mana
ger OF the Keystone Land & Cattle Co.
He was elected to the state legislature
as democrat in 1888 and again in 1890
carrying the county by a handsome
majority, although it was strongly re-
publican. He served with ability and
fidelity, to the utmost satisfaction of
an admiring constituency. He was
one of the organizers and the first
president of the Western South Dakota
Stockgrowers association, and the phe-
nomenal success of this organization,
which has been of incalculable benefit
to the stock interests of this section of
the west, is due largely to his indomit-
able energy, excellent judgment and
keen foresight.
He was married in October, 1856, to
Miss lnez Moses, and two beautiful
daughters, now aged nine and five,
are the result of the union.
A wife and two children, his mother,
Mrs. Tyler, who arrived Sunday morn
ing, two wobrothers,W w. G. GODDARD, residing
at Dayton, WASH, and Charley GODDARD,
and sister, Mrs. Ballard, of Des
Maines, Iowa, survive him.
Mr.. GODDARD was thirty-second de-
gree mason, a Knight Templar, and a
member of the a. o. U. W.. NJ. w. A,
X n RI NJ U ofD n n IA n
e. S. and the Degree of Honor.
Socially Mr.. GODDARD was one of the
most genial and companionableo of men.
He was of an unusually light-hearted,
cheerful and hopeful disposition, pos
sessing magnetic personality and q
genteel and cultured bearing. While
he did not pose as an orator, modesty
being one of his prominent character
lstics, he possessed remarkable ora
toracle ability. Some of his efforts
in this direction will be remembered
with pleasure by the members of the
many secret societies to which he be-
longed, as we'll as by the cowboys on
the range. He was generous to a fault
and his benevolence and hospitality
were only limited by his means. In
nearly every section of the Hills, in
city and hamlet, as we'll as on the farm
and range, will be found hosts of
friends who will learn with profound
sorrow of the untimelv death of Lon"
GODDARD, as he was familiarly called.
The STAR tenders sincere coincidence
and sympathy to the afflicted family
and trusts that He who tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb will sustain
and comfort them in their great
affliction.

REV. DIR. sw1cxAKn TRANSFERRED

The Popular Met1iOtlist Pastor Will go tn
Aberdeen.
1t has been knownby Rev. Swickard's s
congregation for some time that he
would probably not remain in this city
as pastor of the NJ. T.. church. The
people of Aberdeen sought his trans
fer to that place and have succeeded
in obtaining it. Flo has been pastor of
the church here for three years and
has given unqualified satisfaction.
While the STAR joins with his host of
personal friends in expressing sincere
regret over his departure, we congratu-
late him upon being promoted to so
excellent charge as Aberdeen. The
Methodist church of that place, we
understand, has the largest member
ship of any church in the state of that
denomination, and is in every respect
one of the best appointments in South
Dakota. Rev. Swickard is IL man who
wears with the people, and becomes
more admired as one comes to know
him we'll. His sermons are al
ways able, instructive and effective,
never failing in that originality of
Thought and beauty of expression that
retains and increases the interest of
his congregation. His work in the col
lege. as one of the faculty, has been es-
pecially appreciated by all who arc in
terested in the welfare of the college.
and hisdeparture will be greatly missed
by the facultyand students.
We part with him and his estimable
family most reluctantly, but congratu-
late him, and Aberdeen, upon the
transfer.
Rev. Swickard breaches his last SER
mons here next Sunday, and will give
his lecture on Robert Browning at the
college chapel Monday, leaving this
city next Tuesday night.

MAJOR ANDERSON TALKS
To IA Full House on the Mnmentous Issue
of the Campaign.

Ofthc Campaign.
The simple announcement that Mai.
Anderson would speak on the political
issues of the day has always had the
effect to draw out large crowd of at
tentive listeners. The meeting of
Saturday night was no exception to the
rule and so when the Fireman's band
had finished it's initial selection
every seat i'll the court room was occu-
pied. The male quartet. composed of
Messrs. Stewart, Eaton, Boomer and
Turner. sung a campaign song that was
enthusiastically encored. and they
graciously yrespondcdtoth the encore with
another selection that simply brought
down the house. Then the ladies quar-
tet, consisting of Meslames Cleveland.
Stewart. Stanley and Miss Cleveland.
rendered a lively campaign song and
they courtously responded 20 an encore
with catchy selection that was loudly
applauded. The singing was an enjoy
able feature of the program and put
the audience i'll an excellent humor for
the speaking of the evening.
Major Anderson. in his usual yigor-
Gus style, gave an accounto of the checker.
ed career of the democratic party and
showed conclusively, from review of
the history of our country. that the
democratic party has always shown
itself utterly incompetent for the
affairs of government. The country
seldom if ever prospercd under it's rule
or rather, misrule during the
last three years. as every intelligent
voter knows, has again been brought to
the verge of bankruptcy and ruin by
it's proverbial incompetence and ras
cality. The speaker gave an ac-
count of many of the so called reform
parties that have sprung up in this
country. showed how they had been
gobbled up and assinilated by the
democratic party. and now. he said.

cratic party. that borne from which no

stitution-a vermiform appendix to the

was given Il bone on the kitchen floor.
while the company was enjoying the
feast. The Major, by numerous apt
Illustrations and in his inimitahle style
of expression. showed the ridiculous
position of the mongrel party in this
campaign, pointed out the fallacies of
the efree-and- unlimited -coinage-at Lotto
l idea, and proved that the republican
party is now as it always has been since
its organization, the party of progress
and prosperity. He made the incorrig-
ible pops and democrats vince under
his withering satire and brought maly
of the wavering back into a path of
rectitude.

Grand Address by Governor sheldon.

Grand Address by Governor sheldon.
Gov. Sheldon spoke at the opera
house last Tuesday night upon the
political issues. AS he had to leave on
the Elkhorn train the netting was call
ed to order at seven o'clock, and at
that early hour there we're large
number of people present, but they
continued coming for an hour, until
the opera honse was full, it being the
largest crowd gotten together here
thus far during the campaign. 1t was
a magnificent gathering. The Glee
Club sang q couple of campaign songs,
and the Governor the proceeded with
the discussion of the money question.
The governor is a fluent, graceful
speaker, and has the facts and figures
at his tongues end, making an argu-
ment for the republican platform that
is unanswerable. He greatly pleased
the large assemblage who very atten-
lively listened to the forcible facts
presented, and at it's close many who
had not heretofore had much to say
about the question declared that it was
one of the best presentations of the
issues they had heard.
