The Resolutions of Respect on
the death of f. S. Everist, by the
teachers, published in to-day's
MIDLAND JOURNAL, should serve
as models on future occasions when
such public expression of respect
and sorrow is called forth. They
are clear of the stereotyped phrases
such as at has pleased Divine
Providence" etc., and "God in his
inscrutable wisdom" etc., etc. Such
expressions are in bad taste, carry
in them a reproach against the
Most High under feigned garb of
humility.

One thing is certain: 1t will not do to
fool with bad cold. No one can tell
what the end will be. Pneumonia,
catarrh, chronic bronchitis, if not con-
sumption, invariably result from a neg
lected cold. Itis surprising too, that bad
colds are so often neglected when one
remembers how easily and at what little
expense they may be cured. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is always prompt
and effectual, and costs but trife; rs or
so cents is trifle as compared with the
disastrous effects of a neglected cold
Mr. Abner Mercer of Dilwothtown, Chester
county, Pa, in speaking of this remedy,
said: Sometime ago had a bad cold
and cough. l tried almost everything.
Finally Mr.. Hunt, the druggist, recon.
mended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
and one so cent bottle of it cured ME
entirely" For sale by E. T. Reynolds.

Three billions of property in the
State of New York yearly escape

fishes this immense tax lodging in
his report, advises graduated sue
cession tax on estates of deceased
persons as high as Is per cent when
the estate reaches 100000.

The people of these United State

The people of these United States
are growing very tired being gov
erned by boards of trade, chambers
of commerce and national bank
associations. Almost every week
there emanates from one or more of
these capitalistir combinations some
authoritative declaration half sug-
gestive and half dictatorial outlin-
ing the policy which should be
adopted by Congress or other
branches of the government.
These cliques of money changers
assume that they are the only "bus-
mess" people in the country and
hold a monopoly of all the wisdom.
The people are growing very tired
of this plutocratic dogmatism.

Some of the goldbugs are mighty
sick Of having their ante-election

say, by way of lame retort that

that all the fine pledge they made
with hand on the Bible, are no
better than common lies.

Prof. A. W. s. Rothermel. the expert

Prof. A. w. s. Rothermel, the expert
mining engineer, who processes the
ability to locate a lead, lode, vein or
seam Of ore by simply walking over the
surface of the ground. spent yesterday
at Ragged Top, but did not have the time
to make many observations; and is not
prepared yet to express his opinion
fully concerning the district. He has
obtained a small interest in the camp,
upon which he says there is a chute of
ore and he intends to devote more time
there in the future. He has been in
the Black Hills since last spring, put.

has successfully located seventy-three

claims that his method is the solution OF
a purely scientific problem, and ledger
domain takes no part IN it. He relies
simply upon the aft Unity of gold for gold.
and upon geometrical and arithmetical
reckoning. He says the theory has
been held by most metallurgists that
gold has no affinity for any substance,
but he declares the idea 20 be oneou
He has studied the matter out by him

he can not only denote the locality Of

reach it. Slides, faults and breaks in
the formation are no obstacle to him,
nor is a thick covering Of snow, so long
as the weather is bright. He is the only
man in the world possessed of the
science, although he is imparting the
knowledge to q son, that 10 may not be

Locating the Lime.

The act OF locatiog a gold claim in the
lime formation would have been regard
ed as positive evidence of lunacy prior
to the discovery of Ragged Top. 1t is
now quite another thing, and is consid
cred an act of unquestioned wisdom.
and is becoming daily more popular
with the masses. During the past week
there have been many locations made
by our local miners, as well as by min
ers from Keystone. Hill City and points
further north. The character of the
float rock found in what the prospectors
are pleased to designate rs the New
Ragged Top, is similar in appearance to
that found in the more pretentious
northern district, but thus far there has
been nothing done in the way of deve-
lopment, and only a few assays of the
ore picked up from the surface have
been made, which gave a return of from
$3.50 to $500 per ton. No search for
verticals has been made thus far, the
era of stalking, as get, having only been
fairly inaugurated. The opinion is
largely entertained by prospectors who
are familiar with the Ragged Top region
that the new district promises TO be
when developed, equally productive,
but this is largely conjectural. and re-
mains to be demonstrated by future ex
p~loitation.
1t is the hope of the CHRONICLE that
the new district may prove to be q
model producer and the equal Of the
Ragged Top of the north, which ought
to be enough to satisfy any body.

Married in South Africa.

Henry MonheIm received a letter to
day announcing the marriage OF James
j.. Walsh and Miss Alice Richardson, on
November 9th, at Newcastle, Natal.
South Africa. They also announced
that they would be at home after No
yember Goth, at Heidelberg, South
African epublic. The groom left here
last February and has been working for
the company Of which Charlie Parsons
is superintendent since he arrived in
that country. The bride lived in Lead
several years and is well known. She
left here last August to join her intended
husband. After arriving at her destina-
ton they discovered that a marriage
could not be performed in the Transvaal
country without q written consent from
the intended brides parents, which
would take at least three months to
communicate with her parents, who
reside at Custer, this state, so they went
to Newcastle, Natal, which place it seems
is a Gretna Green, and you can get mar
ried without several yards Of red tape to
pass through like they have in the
Transvaal country. The many friends
Of the happy couple in Lead will join us
in extending hearty congratulations

The parties named in the above men

in this place, where they have numer-
Gus relatives and friends, with whom
the CHRONICLE unites in extending
hearty congratulations and good wishes
to the happy couple.

The dread peals of the fire bells.
which are rendered more d.eadful by
reason of II e fact of our limited means
of fire protection, brought terror and
CONSERVATION 10 our citizens on Thurs
day night. 1t was about s o'clock when
the alarm was given which caused n
general commotion among our citizens,
and when the church bells and steam
whistles were added to the din of the
fire bells the feeling of alarm was most
intense. The fire was located on Wash
ington street, below Seventh, near the
railroad. Tnere flames were rising from
the roof of the engine room, of OJo
Reders steam planning mill, which for a
time bid fair to extend and consume the
entire building, but ready hands were
soon employed in applying water by
mean of buckets, and through this
means, and by the aid of a few portable
fire extinguishers the flames we're finally
subdued. 1t was a close call. and it is
believed that, if the fire had been dis
covered five minutes later the entire
building would have been destroyed.
The fire was confined to the engine
room, where il originated. The loss is
normal, and will delay the operation of
the mill but o short time. There Is a
strong feeling of anxiety following this
event for fire protection which will, of
course, die out before the occurrence Of
the next blaze.

Tuesday, 1t is learned that no little ex-
element has been occasioned there
over the failure of the local bank run bv
Nj. Il. Maxson, which institution closed
Is doors last week. 1t is stated that the
depositors have attempted to get a
statement from Mr.. Maxson but were
unable to do so. The deposits amount.
ed to between seven and eight thousand

deposited in the institution are-Richard

Chef Mills 5000, Mr.. Sanborg 1920, Jack
DAILY $1lOO, Grant & Candy about $500
or 5000 each, besides several others. 1t
is believed by many that the money is
purposely withheld and as a conse.
quence the depositors will leave no
stone unturned to secure it. Mr.. Max
son had intended to leave for the east
on Sunday evening but was persuaded
by several citizens to remain.

The Seed is the Vital Thing.

Planting must be begun right, else no
amount of cultivation or fertilizer can
prevent the crop being a failure. The
first step is the selection of the seed.
Do not take any risk here. Get seeds
that you can depend ~upon-seeds that
are fresh, that have a reputation behind
them. The most reliable seeds grown
in this country are Ferry's Seeds.
Wherever seeds are sown the name Of
ID. M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit. Mich, is
a guarantee of quality and freshness.
The greatest care and stricted caution
are exercised in the growing, selection,
packing and distribution of their seeds.
Not only must they be fresh, but they
must be true to name.
On a par with the quality of the seeds
is Ferry's Seed Annual for 1897, the
most comprehensive and valuable book
of the kind ever printed. Every planter,
large and small. should get, read and
digest this book before planting a single
seed. 1t is free to all who address the
firm as above.
