BITTER TASTE.

Food.

It Aids in the Detection of Unwholesomo
Food.
Daniel Webster in the famous White
trial in Salem, Mass, years age declared
that murder will out" This maxim
has been found applicable to many
other things besides murder. House
wives know it to be true when there is
alum in baking powder. A bitterness
in the bread at once betrays the alum's
presence. 1t can't conceal its true ma
ture. The alum bitterness "will out"
and because it will, physicians, who
understand the harmful effect of alum
on the system, are at a loss to know
why people continue to buy baking
powders containing it. All baking pow
ders sold for twenty-five cents n pound
and less contain alum. There is surely
no economy in using these cheap pow
ders. For a pure cream Of tartar pow
der, as DR.. Prices was shown to he at
the Worlds Fair goes as much farther
and gives so much better results, there
is no doubt of its being more economic
al in the long run.

a poor tramp of the hobo persuasion
has been ~lounging around our streets
during the past week, The soft and
languorous air Of our city seemed to
suit his pensive nature, and lie had
evidently made up his mind to
stay with us AS long as the women kind
sympathetic souls would give him 9
square meal. lie never applied to the
men, he had the trade down too fnc
for that, so when lie wanted food h,
went to the women, and when he want
ed lodging he went to Jail, FINAL,
Marshal Ross escorted him out Of tow
and told him if he returned he wou!,
put him at work on the street. This S
frightened him that it is believed he j

Cattle Men Protest.

A Rapid City special says: "The
detention OF cattle at Pine Ridge agency
by Agent Clapp is about to develop in.
to a holly contested legal fight. Yes
terday answers in twenty-thres cases
were filed in the federal court by the
attorneys for the cattlemen in this city.
The fight is not made to get out of pay
ing the ransom money OF 81 a head, but
rather to put an end to all future corral
ing Of cattle on the reservation. The
boundary line between the reservation.
and the cattle ranges is surveyed, but is

a repetition of the roundup this spring.
1t would be impossible for tho cattle
men to keep their stock, some oft, from
drifting during the winter storms, onto
the reservation, or, worse yet. there
would be nothing to preventive Indians
from driving the cattle across the line
into their possessions and then holding
them for ransom. On the other hand,
the Indians say that each year their
range on the reservation is eaten by the
stray cattle from across the line. 1t is q
question of great interest TO the stock
men"

The Mining Engineers.

The excursion Of mining engineers,
which passed down in their special car
from Deadwood to Hot Springs q few
days ago, reconed among their party
some Of the most prominent
scientific men Of America. They
come direct from Duluth, where they
held their annual meeting, to make
an examination Of tie geology of the
Black Hills, together with its resources
and general characteristics in point OF
mineral, soil, timber and climate. Only
n few Of them stopped Of at Custer long
enough to make this a point of obser.
walton, but those who did so. expressed
themselves as well as repaid. for tie few
days spent in driving around among the
many attractive scenes by which Custer
is so favorably environcd.
Among those who rarricd the longest
and seemed the most interested, wa:
Col. l.. Holbrook Of New York. The
Col. is n prominent member of the
American institute of mining engineer
and Il thorough student of nature, anC
particularly an earnest searcher in al
that pertains to his department o
science. He did not depart until ht
had taken in the beauties OF Sylvan
lake, and broke with his own hand
piece of rock from the highest pinnacle
of Harney's Peak. 1t augurs well fol
the Hills when so large a body of scien
fist there were about 80 in number,
come among US, and depart better in
formed in regard to our resources. !
they are sincere, and we have no reason
to doubt it, they will have no words fol
the Hills save words of praise and com
m%endation.

In the mountains a few miles west Of
Rapid City there is a lady $50 the story
goes who dwells not in solitude, for she
has many friends of her own sex who
make occasional excursions to her home
in the gulch where the sun and shadow
play hide and seek through the foliage
of the trees, and here they are enter.
tanned in a novel manne Instead Of
of games of progressive euchre or cro-
kay each lady is provided with a gold
pan and they all proceed to the creek
and in a place where the men have dug
a hole to bed rock, they all dig, and pan
their dirt in the stream. They obtain
all the way from a few collor's to a
dollar and forty cents to the pan, and
each lady keeps what she gets. 1t is
an exciteing amusement, and withal

Jack Mallon's bay horse took a spin
around the block without a driver last
Wednesday, but by reason ofhaving his
pacing hobbies on, he didn't break the
record for speed, though he did succeed
in breaking the harness to some extent.
If he had kept his pacing gate he might
lave done better, but when he tried the
two up and two down act it was a flat
failure. 1t is hardly fair when a horse
starts out in dead earnest to show what
he can do,andto find himselfhandicaped
by that kind of rig is very discouraging.

This group of claims belonging to
Henry Schenk and others, passed into
the hands of Mr.. A. l.. Kern, Of Mi

ment in cash was promptly made.
There were several owners, all of which

not been made public.
This property is an extension on the

situated on north French creek, about
ten miles in a northwesterly direction
from Custer City. We are assured tina.

is quartz five feet IN width. The vein is
between solid slate walls and is vertical.
The ore has been put to a thorough test
by Mr.. Kessler, a competent expert and
chemist, who accompanied Mr.. Kern to
the Hills.
The first work contemplated, is the
erection off shaft house and a boarding
house for the accommodation of the
men at work in the mine. Perry
Bertschy, son of Mr.. George Bertschy
who negotiated the dealD, will have

1t is announced in the pioneer-Times
that on August 18th will occur the
greatest excursion Of the season for
Deadwood people. 1t will be a trip to
Sylvan lake and back for two dollars
and half $3.50, which includes hack
fare from Custer to and from the lake.
This excursion is being worked up by
the Epworth League, but every one who
desires to take the delightful trip is
invited. The day will be spent at the
lake, where two meals will be taken
dinner and early supper. A more
enchanting place than Sylvan lake
can not be pictured in the mind, and
this excursion should not be missed.
Upon further inquiry we learn that
there will be about two hundred of the
regular excursion party, which will be
re enforced by volunteers all along the
line which will make this the banner ex.
c~ursion Of the year. This much We are
prepared to say Of Sylvan lake, and tho
grand and picturesque scenery by which
il is so pleasantly surrounded. 1t never
disappoints. Ofthe many hundreds o.
people who daily get off the train at thi,
place TO visit this beauty spot o.
America, we have yet to hear the frs,
murmurof complaint or disappointment
On the contrary, every one whom We
have met upon their return have naugh'
but words of admiration anc
praise, and usually conclude their stor,
by saying that the half has not beer
told.
