WORK TO BEGIN IMMEDIATELY.
The Securing Of this Indian School
Means Much for Rapid City
and It's Vicinity.

The final transactions in the In
Indian school for Rapid City were
brought to close this afternoon
and work of construction will be
pushed forward to completion at the
earliest possible moment. The site
chosen for the school is the land
owned by the Upper Rapid COM
pany, comprises 100 acres and was
sold by George p Bennett for
So, 1000. The plans and specifica-
tions for the building have all been
perfected and work will commence
at once.
The main which supplies Rapid
City with her bountiful supply Of
pure water crosses the proposed site
and will be 'tapped for the school.
The main building will be built on
the elevation just beyond the brew
cry and at this point water can be
put in the third story Of the struc-
ture without any inconvenience.
The site chosen is most desirable
one, giving plenty of room and an
elegant view of the valley west of
city.
This school will mean the expendi-
ture of some $50, 900 per year at this
point and Rapid City is to be con-
graduated in at last gaining this
long sought Tor institution

A Big Chicago Merchant Comes
Out Strong For Silver
COOPER, OF SElGLE & COOPER.
He hes Just Returned From Eu-
rope and Knows Whereof
He is Speaking.

Yesterday the Penny Press
quoted from the big Chicago dry
goods man, John V. Farwell To
day we have the pleasure of report
ing what another large Chicago
dealer has to say in favor of free
coinage. The Cleveland Plaindealer
has Chicago special which has this
to say of Frank H. Cooper. Of the
firm Of Seigel. Cooper & Co., who
are building great store in New
York:
Frank H. Cooper, of the big firm
of Seigel, Cooper 4 Co., of Chicago
and New York, the largest retail
firm in the world, has just returned
from Europe. He is alive to the is
sues of the day and has keep well
posted while away from Chicago.
81 can't see anything but good
to result from the free coinage of
silver, said Mr.. Cooper. True it
will benefit the mine owners; it will
also benefit the miners and benefit
the west. 1t will give the farmer
money, it will make better prices
for farm products; it will make the
farmer buy in our markets.
Times can be no worse than
they are present. Our currency
is not expansive enough for the de-
mands of the people. France has
$40 per capita of money in circula
tion and it's people are prosperous
and happy. We have $50 per cap
ita We need more money, and free
coinage will put an end to business
stagnation. Our factories are
closed and our artisans and me-
chanics are out OF work. More
money will make higher prices, bet
ter demand for goods and a revival
of prosperity.
"Goods and produce are too cheap
because the people have no money
to buy them. The depreciation in
prices in some lines Of goods has
been more that 80 per cent in the
past six months. With free silver

enhance in value. Dollar wheat for

1t is 50 in all lines. More money

We are partially upon a bimetallic

drum in the life of the average in
dividual. The husband has departed
for the scenes of his unfortunate
wooing, while the wife of few
weeks remains with those who have
watched the closing act of mis-
mated couple.
Regarding the affair, full partic-
ulars of which have appeared exclu-
sively in these columns, the Kala-
mazoo (Mich.) Telegraph says:
About the middle of June it will
be remembered that Mr.. and Mrs.
G. p. Stevens, of Ann Arbor, passed
through this city on a tandem en-
route to Rapid City, S. D., on their
wedding tour They arrived there
two weeks ago to sit Mrs. Stevens
father, whom she had not seen for
fifteen years. Now the story comes
from there that the wedding tour
has ended sorrowfully for both
The father has kidnapped his daugh-
ter and sent the broken-hearted
husband a letter, telling him that
he was not satisfied with the match,
and he would never see his wife
again. The News has it upon good
authority that the young lady had a
home with one of the first families
of Ann Arbor, but threw herself
away on Stevens, who was a worth
less fellow, and who had been work
ing in bicycle factory in Ann Ar
Dor at salary of about three dollars
per week.
AS If to be more clearly under
stood, the lady who has been brought
into prominence through the unfor-
tunate happening gives the follow
ing statement for publication:
My marriage at Ann Arbor and
tandem trip to the Black Hills seems
more like dream than something
real. The way in which I allowed
myself to be wheedled and coaxcd
and deceived into that marriage is
what | regret most. I wanted to
see my father very much and, Mr.,
Stevens knowing this, planned a
! fraudulent marriage, without my
| knowledge or consent. When this
happened l was ashamed and afraid
to tell my guardian and l did not
know what to do till I got to my
father, I am sorry, very sorry for
all that has happened. I hope Mr..
and Mrs. Gruner and my friends
will kindly overlook the rash adven-
ture of little girl who has sought
nothing that has happened to her.
| think that a demon with his power
of hypnotism over me and a love for
the Tally Eo Co. has done me much
harm and The Tally Ho much good
for all they care for is to advertise
their machines.

New York Fashion Letter.

The tailor gown with slight decrease in
the skirt is one of the favorite spring cos
TUNES. While the newest skirts for utility
dresses are somewhat smaller, the evening
toilettes and costumes of gauzy fabrics re-
tain the fullness of the past winter, but the
tendency of all skirts of the present epoch is
to bring the greater part OF the fullness d.
rectly in the back. Street costumes are
popular made with an Elton Jacket, gar
ment which will largely supersede the
blazer for the coming summer. The Elton is
cut rather short on the hips with pointed or
square postilion effects in the back and
with a front ornamented with plain or fancy
revers. The new Louis XIV coat models are
very elegant with wide revers and with
their hip pockets on the vest. The spring
sleeves from the best New York houses are
slightly smaller with dropping shoulder
effect Many of the imported sleeves are
, made with several rutf1es, jockeys, shoulder
capes or elbow puffs over tight lining.
The Bishop sleeve is the favorte for wash
materials, as well as for shirt waists. This
sleeve is often tucked or trimmed with
bands of insertion. Silk waists still form
part of the costume, though those in the
Louis form are more popular than the drap-
ed or shurred waists of last season. The
outside Jackets for early spring are slig htly
shorter than those of last season. They are
tight fitting in the back with loose front and
turned over revers. Some are seen with
narrow belt in the back, but at the under
arm seams the remainder of the belt is slip
ped inside. French challies show designs in
Dresden effects, with Empire garlands and
with Persian colors. Dresses made of these
fabrics are ornamented with Marie An
to,nette tichus and are much trimmed W 18th

nation we are indebted to the Mcdowell
