AS to Telephones.

The people of Rapid City are en-
joying low telephones rates, all due
to competition. The UNION re-
members distinctly of only few
years ago when we were putting up
S. or So per month for u
much poorer service than we are
getting now for $3.50 Why the diff
ference between that time and this?
At that time the Black Hills Tele
phone Co., had monopoly of the
business in Rapid City, being the
only line in the town, and it held up
the people and bled them for as
much as it could. Some months
ago the HARRISON Telephone Co,
began operations and built its line
into Rapid City. The prices on the
Black Hills line came. tumbling
down in order to retain it's patrol.
age With the indentical people it
had robbed in former years. What
brought low rates to Rapid City
patrons? Nothing more nor less
than the competition Of the Harri
son line, and it is plain that the
people here should stand by anc
patronize this line, In the upper
Hills the Harrison system operates
fully a thiru more phones than the
old Black Hills line, and is giving
a better service than the old line i.
capable of giving. These facts ar,
mere matters Of the telephone his
tory in .this.section.

Hard Times In California.


From the southwestern Stockman.
The SToCKMAN is in an receipt Of
a letter from George Grid, formerly
publisher of this paper, but who now
resides at San Bernardino, Califor-
MIA. From the extract taken from
his letter and printed below it
would seem that times there are
pretty tough. Among other things
he says:
eve have had no rain for two
months and everything has dried up
The grain got six inches high, and
dried up, curled up-and died. 1t
is not even fit for pasture. Early
peaches, all the 'apricots but few,
as well as all garden truck was
frozen. Nearly the entire orange
crop was damaged by frost, and the
price on the rest is so low it is hard
| ly worth shipping east. The devil
seems to have it in for this section,
for even the sugar beet crop is q
failure. Thousands Of head Of cat
tie and sheep will starve if rot
! taken to Nevada or somewhere else
for pasturaye. Hay lis $40 10 ~:
per ton and not much to be had al

The Election.

Tuesdays city election resulted in
a cleanup for the republicans and
nearly complete defeat OF the
union silver ticket. The reform
school ticket was for the most part
defeated by blunder on the part OF
the city central committee in ne
glecting to have tickets at the pol
ling places. When the polls opened
it was discovered that the union
silver school tickets were not on
hand and it was almost 10 o'clock
before tickets could be printed anu
distributed. The UNION has been
blamed for this by some enthusiasts,
but the 'ault lies with the city CEN
trLl committee. Following is the
vote as cast:
For mayor, Howe (fusion) 155;
Mansfield (rep.) 2l5. Mansfield
majority 81.
For city treasurer, Hunt fusion)

The fusion forces elected alder
men from the first and fourth wards
and also treasurer of the board OF

No Experiments.

The cause of disease is quickly
apparent, hence the doctor does not
experiment., but removes it as
rapidly as the cooperation of the
patient allows. The experience of
DR.. l.. Miller in the treatment Of
difficult, long landing and servoun
diseases insures the cure of the
cases he undertakes, for he attempts
no incurable cases. Instruction
obeyed, he guarantees the results of
treatment. Among others he cures
these disease: Stammering, habits,
rheumatism, StVitus dance, catarrh,
rupture, piles (without knife),
sleeplessness, diseases Of men and
women, of the blood, skin, chest,

RoBBERY-The store of Mr.. ]. T.
Downey, at the corner of Fairfax and
Cameron streets, was robbed |. st night
of between two and three dollars, which
had been left in the money drawer. 1t
is supposed that the thief was locke
up in the sore, which was closed at
about 10 o'clock and that after commit
ting the robbery he made his exit
through door which could be fDs ea-
ed from the outside by the sy ar
rangement of an inside bar. Lieut..
Smith, who made examination of the
premises few minutes after the rob.
berry, adopted the theory.
