Watch the Heavens,

Astronomers have calculated that
the earth will pass through great
ring of meteors between the night of
the 18th of November and sunrise of
the 18th. This occurs about every SO
years. In 1888, according to Prof.
Young's estimate, some 250000 met
eors dashed into the earth's atmos-
phere n shower lasting five or six
hours. The meteors move so quickly
(about 45 miles a second that the
heat of friction causes them to evap-
crate before they strike the earth.
The shower of 1866 was visible be-
tween 9 p. m. Of November 13 and
a. m. of the following morning. Next
year the earth will sweep through the
heart of the sffoal of Leonid, but the
meteoric phenomena which may be
seen in few nights is not of common
occurrence, and none should neglect
to watch for it. The celestial py.
rotechnics of next week are but pre-.
liminaries to the great exhibit of 1899
Times .tar.

A Creditable Performance.

To say that the performance given by
the Acme Hill City Dramatic company
at the opera house IN Tuesday night,
when the popular play of Hazel Adams
was presented, was highly creditable, is
but the mild expression of a very APP.
parent and well settled fact.
Whatever else may be said of Hill
City, and surely nothing disparaging
can be justly said, it can not be said
with any regard for truth, that the place
NAV not lay just claim to the distinction
of having the best amateur dramatic
troupe in the Hills. The troupe have
succeeded in eliminating, to a very
great extent, the faults so common "a
amateurs. Their stage department is
natural, free and easy, and they seem Ia
be never at q loss to know what to do
with their hands. The leading roles
were ably rendered, and the subordinate
characters upon which the successful
rendering of a play SO largely depends
were admirably sustained. S~pecialties
introduced between acts were catchy,
entertaining and quite up to date.
II is a matter for regret that the
merits of the troupe were unknown Ia
our people, as otherwise there would
have been only standing room in the
auditorium on this occasion. Should
they come again to Custer. they will be
greeted by a much larger audience than
they played to IN Tuesday night.

The Valentine Social.

The Valentine party, given by the
ladies OF the Congregational church on
Monday evening, proved to be a highly
entertaining event, and a most pro-
nounced success in all respects. Nari-
Gus new and novel features created by
the ladies in charge for the pleasure OF
their patrons, added additional zest to
the occasion, and wos alike enjoyed by
all. The Gypsey maid who read the
fortunes of her subjects by tracing the
lines in the palms of their hands, was
an adept in the mysterious art, and the
feature Of the evening.
Music, soft and soothing, BETTING an
occasion of this dreamy character, float
ed upon The ~perfumed air, and rich and
racy recitations, appropriate and inn
pressive added much to the interest and
enjoyment. An elegant and elaborate
lunch served as a most fitting and
pleasing supplement to the exercises,
after which the curtain fell upon one OF
the most novel, entertaining and inter
esting social events that has transpired
in the Social city during the current
season.

Edgemont Bank Troubles.

Judge Lew MCGEE, Of the Seventh
circuit, yesterday appointed William w.
Stewart, of Hot Springs, receiver Of the
Bank of Edgemont, in compliance with
a petition signed by a large number Of
the depositors. Receiver Stewart tool
possession of the bank yesterday, and
an immediate investigation revealed
the fact that the sun total OF the insti-
tution's assets was six dollars and sew
enty-four cents $50 "a. The liabilities
of the bank, as near as Mr.. Stewart can
get at them, are in the neighborhood Of
ten thousand dollars, and there should
have been that much on hand ia cash
and securities.
At the instance ofthe receiver Cashier
Clifton and Assistant Salisbury were
arrested at Edgemont last night, upon a
warrant returRable ut Hot Springs, and
they spent the night in the custody OF
the sheriff, being brought TO Hot
Springs, the county seat, this forenoon.
The affair has created a sensation in
Edgemont. and the population is divid-
ed and the two factions arraign each
other bitterly.
The bank was a private institution OF
CRADLES, and Cashier Clifton is said TO
be related to Cradle in some way. Tie
institution closed its doors when
CRADLES collapse occurred. and = large
nn",hsr of isdeemont people had money
deposited there, although it is not
known that any one had a very great
amount. The arrest Of Clifton and SAILS.
bury Was made on the charge that they
had purloined the banks assets. AT
the time he closed the banks doors
Clifton gave out the statement that the
institution was able to pay every cent it
owed. and nothing different was known
until the receiver made an inyestiga

PEASANT, the great French writer, tells the
story. This Is no mere fancy of a novelist.
II is q dreadful, eternal truth. Men and wo-
men, living under the shadow of Deaths
black wing, fling themselves into the arms Of
the very enemy they dread. See the proofs
of this in the matter-of-fact newspaper re-
ports. Note that in a great city half-a-dozcn
persons will, in a single day, take their own
lives. Why? Various motives are assigned,
such as disappointed love, financial ruin,
actual or impending disgrace and thwarted
ambition. The most prevalent reason Is not
dwelt upon, except in rare cases, because 10
the unthinking reader IL is less impressive
than the others. Yet the fact that sufferers
from real or imaginary disease despairing

appalling of all the doleful facts connected
with suicide. Within a few weeks three wo-
