oF HISTORIC INTEREST.

Last evening Company E, New Ha- ven Light Guards, held a smoker en- tertainment and a general social good time at their rooms in the armory building. Among those present were Captain Bunce, the first captain of the organization; eX-Captain Sucher now major of the Second regiment, and Captain A. B. Smith of the Blues.
 Captain Bunce in speech made dur ing the evening enjoined upon the com pany the need of improvements. But by far the most important part was his presentation of the original charter of the company bearing the date Febru- ary 5 1862. The charter is designated as general order No. 453, and bears the names of Captain Benjamin N. Futile Rollin James Bunce, first lieutenant and John N. Champion, second lieuten- ant Together with the charter was a scrap-book composed of all the refer ences for the company that have ap- peared in the daily papers from 1862 til the present. Both scrap-book and char ter are to remain in the company's rooms, and are highly -prized historical relics.
 There were fine musical numbers rendered during the course of the even ing.

Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1897-07-10

The Deadwood Pioneer Times sup
plements mention of the exposition
meeting held in this place last week, by
the following reference to Custer coun-
ty's resources, which only dimly, very
dimly EXPIRE sses their variety and
valuable character: "Custer county
certainly has the material for making n
splendid exhibit and from the way the
people are going to work, we judge that
Custer county will do her share and
more. They have some fine deposits Of
free milling quartz, beautiful specimens,
showing the yellow gold in metallic
state; high grade copper ore, specimens
running as high as thirty to fifty per
cent copper; they have high grade sill
cious ore, pyritic ore, yanadium and
many othert that are valuable. A car
of vanadium ore was recently shipped
to Aurora, ILL.,, for treatment that yield
ed five ounces of vanadium to the ton,
uslued at $50 per ounce. They have
mica, mineral paint, Fuller's earth
marble, cave Of onyx and an almost
endless lists of minerals and valuable
reso lrces from which to draw. Be-
sides these they have Sylvan lake the
most beautiful spot in the northwest,
lying at the foot of Harney Peak, and
Wind Cave the most wonderful thing
OF the kind in the world, besides their
vast forests of fine timber. At Custer
they produce as good grades of mineral
paint and mica axle grease as can be
found anywhere. Prominent men are
going to work with a vim and propose
10 do their share in the Black Hills
exhibit matter. -,

The question as to whether Congress
will or will not Immediately take up the
currency revision is now looked upon
with much interest. There are two
sides to this question and both sides are
being carefully examined by those who
are to determine what the course of
events is to be in this particular. BY
many it is believed that, the special
work Of the special session in the
passage of tariff bill having been so
promptly and happily completed, the
country would prefer an opportunity to
adjust itself to the new conditions in
regard to the tariff before being brought
face to face with the currency problem.
Those who hold to this view believe
that it would better to defer any action
on the currency question until the re-
gular meeting Of congress in December
and give the country rest" Whether
this plan is determined upon or whether
q currency commission shall be urged
upon congress at once is not fully de-
termined, but the public may rest
assured that there is no disposition on
the part of the Administration to deay
or trifle with the currency question any
more than it has with the tariff.

and rye could not look better. Good
times are coming from the west to help
Mckinley in the east. For three years
western Kansas and Nebraska have lost
their crops. Nebraska stood the drought
from Colorado to Lincoln for two years
and then parted with her hogs and
cattle. Last year she had superb corn
again, but no hogs or cattle to feed to.
Miles of corn bins line the railroads
Corn is selling for twelve cents bushel.
and not a hog in sight. Last years
crop is still In the bins. They are wait
ing for the pigs to grow. By fall the
pigs will be here, and then two crops of
corn will be turned into pork. The
railroads which will profit by this won
derful crop are George Goulds Missouri
Pacific, the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, Sante Fe, Rock Island and
Union Pacific. The ST. Paul and North
western are wheat roads, and their
crops in Dakota and Minnesota look
fine. The prosperity which
the big crops will bring to the west will
make railroads pay dividends, set the
$4,000 idle railroad men west Of the
Mississippi to work, make the farmer
rich and happy, and kill Bryan's silver
ism as prosperity once killed Weavers
green back craze.

The east can prepare to rejoice, says
Eli Perkins in an eastern paper. You
would rejoice now if you could see the
wonderful crop of corn and grain which
is now waving oyer drought region
which has missed crops for two or three
years. Copious rains have come all
over the far west, from San Antonio up
through the Texas Panhandle and on
through Kansas and Nebraska to Da-
kota. Western Nebraska and Kansas
are soaked with water clear up to the
Colorado border, and the people are
wild with joy. have passed over this
entire country. They have already
harvested 100000 bushels of wheat
in western Texas, and now the reapers
in southern and western Kansas are
running in wheat fields loaded with
grain. Everywhere wheat, corn, oats

A Fatal Celebration.

William Sweet and Joseph Miller
were among number of citizens living
near Terry, who went to Crow Creek,
about nine miles west Of spearfsh, on
Monday, to join in a celebration of the
Fourth. Their patriotism was the cause
of Sweets death and the serious injury
Of Mr.. Miller. These two gentlemen
had number Of sticks Of giant pow der
which they were exploding for the
amusement of the merry makers. Mon
day evening about supper time the cele-
bration came to a sad ending and the
people who participated in it were treat
ed to terrible shock. 1t seems tfat
Mr. Miller had in bis hand stick of
giant powder which exploded prema-
tursly in his hand, blowing that mem
ber off at the wrist. Mr.. Sweet was
near Mr. Miller at the time ofthe explos.
ion and in his shit bosom carried two
sticks of dynamite. When the prema
ture explosion occurred it seems that
the dynamite which Mr.. Sweet carried
in his shirt became ignited and ex-
ploded killing the gentleman who car
ried it outright. The news of the
accident was received in this city yes
terday and undertaken III. II. Weaver
and John Treeweek left for the scene
of the explosion. They returned last
night with the remains Of the unfor-
unate man. The deceased was a
young unmarried man. He was a
brother of Mrs. John Treeweek, and
was formerly resident of this city
when he worked at the Ellison hoist.
He left here few months ago for
Terry to get work. Mr.. Sweet has
many friends in Lead who will hear
with sorrow the news of his sad
death.-Lead Call.
