M emorial Day

Was appropriately celebrated in this
place on Saturday under the auspices OF
Gen. Steele Post No. o., G.. A. Il. The
exercises at the opera house were large
ly attended where the excellent pro-
gram prepared by the committee was
presented, as were the beautiful and
impressive services at the cemetery,
where the graves of the dead soldiers
were elaborately decorated. During
the twelve years embraced in the life
of Gen Steele post, there has been no
failures on its part to provide for the
| proper observance of Memorial day,
and it is pleasing to note, as an indca-
ton of the growth Of patriotism, and a
proper appreciation of the great service
rendered the naion by its brave defend.
ers, that upon no former occasion has
there been so much interest manifested
upon the part Of the community as was
noted on this occasion.
The city was literally a sea of flags
which kissed the passing breeze from
almost every housetop, and myrads of
| flowers bright and fragrant lent an ad-
ditional attraction to the grand and
solemn scene. The Memorial address
by II. ID. Reynolds of this city, who has
on former similar occasions so eloquent
ly and appropriately addressed the
people Of this community, was in line
with his former efforts in its eloquent
and patriotic character, and was greatly
appreciated by his auditors. Others
taking part in the exercises are entitled
to much praise for the ve.y able man
ner in which they rendered their re-
spective parts, and, without detracting
from the credit Of others, we cannot re-
frain from making special mention Of
the able rendition of "The Angel of
Buena VISTA" by Miss Elsie kleemann,
which was exceptional in its rendering,
elicitng, as it did, the highest encomi-
ums Of an appreciative audience. The
quartette, which furnished the music
for this occasion, embraced the follow
ing popular local singers: Mesdames
Burton and Wood and Messrs Bailey
and Willis. The songs selected were
appropriate, and their harmonious and
faultless rendering was delightful and
charming to the large audience who
gave an attentive ear to each recurring
number. The procession headed by the
Custer Drum Corps, with the Custer
Guards next in the order, as an escort to
the Grand Army post, which followed,
and the carriages, horsemen and foot
men which were in line. was very
imposing feature, and in the order
named proceeded to the cemetery where
the exercises of the day were fittingly
closed by the decorating Of the soldiers

Uranium is used to give beautiful color
ing to glassware, also in transferring
steel engraving to porcelain. A great
deal of such work is done in France
where it has become a very important
industry. A recent demand for the salt
of uranium has been given since the in
vention of the y Rays, as it is used in
the screens to render the X Rays more

All the tedious exasperating prelim.

will actually begin on the first day of
June, next Tuesday, and before the next
issue Of Il is great moral and meta
physical paper, the busy hum of indus
try and the wave of prosperity will have
struck and transformed the town. Col.
Morgan is authorized to build an addi-
lional mill of sixty stamps, whenever
the development will warrant, besides
retitting the present forty stamp mill
with new machinery, and also building
q twenty five ton smelter. All this
work, in addition TO the underground
work of mining, is to be pushed forward
as fast rs possible in the expectation of
having everything in operation by the
middle of August. With the additional
openings which will have been made
and with the aid Of double deck cage
in constant operation Col. Morgan is
confident that from the large ore body
now exposed that one hundred stamps
can be supplied at cost Of mining and
milling of less than one dollar per ton,
This small cost, compared to the value

Another Legislative Blunder.

Another legislative blunder has been
discovered in the work ofthe legislature
says Yankton special. A bill was in.
troduced in the senate detaching Union
county from the First judicial circuit
and attaching it to the Second circuit
and fixing the time for holding terms OF
court in each county of the two circuits
This bill was amended in the house by
changing these dates. There is no re.
cord that the bill was returned to the
senate for its concnrance in the amend.
ment, or that it was again acted upon by
that body. Now it is announced that
the validity of the law will have to be
passed upon by the supreme court be-
fore another term of court can be held
in Union county.

Deadwood, where they are reported as

first attempt was made near the hour Of

upon getting up and going to IL window,
he plainly discerned the form of man

Herman Reinbold, Phi. d. of Omaha
Neb.. came to Deadwood a week ago
and was occupied during his visit to the
Hills in special nyestigations of the
commercial extent of some of the rare
minerals. One of the purposes Of his
enquiries is to determine whether mer
chantable quantities of the metal uran-
ium could be found that would warrant
treatment, and in order to obtain the
required information he devoted three
days in district where uranium LII
phate had been known to exist for up
wards of twenty years, and he returned
from the mine with the belief that by
following the exposed ore into the hill
for reasonable distance mineral could
be broken down that would warrant
shipment. The annual consumption of
uranium for all purposes Throughout the
world is 10000 lbs, valued at 81 200 900.

Oahu Railway.
DR.. Burgess, who is at present in
charge of the place, has strong
backing.
Capt. Trip has yet to file his APP
plication in writing with the Board.
The friends of eX-Chief McNeigh
are indignant over the treatment he
has been accorded. Mr.. McNeigh is
not AT all pleased with the action of
the president of the Board of Health
and says that he feels like notifying
the Board that it need not consider
his name for the position from which
he has just been suspended. He is
waiting the outcome of the eXanina-'
ton before determining what he will
do.
\ close friend of eX-Chief McNeigh,
who is in the Government employ,
stated this morning that McNeigh was
the victim of the Customs Depart
ment. "McNeigh is not paid to search
the baggage of the immigrants con-
tinued this official. "but he has done
so for the reason that the Customs
| Department was short of men.
"On one occasion he searched the
| baggage of lot of immigrants and
| found two false bottoms in which was
contained a considerable amount of
opium. This discovery did not please
the Custom officials one bit.
"McNeigh claims that the Customs
officers allowed the package to pass
to the quarantine officials and then
went over to the station and discov-
cred it. Mr.. McNeigh and his guards
who were relieved with him will en-
deavor to convince the Board of these
facts when the examination is made"
The position of chief quarantine
officer is a good one. The Govern
ment salary is 800 month. The
steamship companies are obliged TO
pay a salary of 81 day during the
quarantine of immigrants.
