eyes during the performance, but they
were seemingly oblivious 10 the inspec.
ton and performed their parts we'll
during the evening. When the curtain
went down on the last act the audience
remained in their seats waiting for the
crowning event. In few moments the
curtain was raised, the pianist of the
company played the wedding march
and the bridal couple appeared upon
the stage attended by Miss Hammer
and Mr.. Williams. The stage was set
with beautiful wood scene and it made
a very pretty picture for bridal scene.
Judge Abbey was waiting in the wings
and at the proper moment stepped for
ward and performed the ceremony
which made them man and wife, and
then introduced MIR. and Mrs. Griffith
to the audience, which received them
with hearty applause. The bride looked

satin as she stood con6dingly by the
side of the man of her choice. Happi-

congratulations were offered by the
guests in front Mr.. and Mrs. Griffith

and arc ueservedly popular with the

tends its congratulations and trusts that

brief period of twenty-one years. tho
most marvellous development has come
and still the mining interests of tho
Hills are in their infancy. Within the
last two years some of the richest finds
have been made and today the Golden
Reward, the Holy Terror, the Two

group, the Reddy and many other
miLes are disputing supremacy with
the Homestake. While gold is the
most attractive product of the Hills, it's

recently huge ledge of onyx has been
discovered of inexhaustibe proportions
and OF superior quality. Here, too, are
found rich beds of soft coal, which
seem to be sufficient to last for centur-

was proAigate in dumping her riches
in endless protusion in this favored
spot.
In the innumerable valleys, some of
quite extensive area, the husband man
raises the golden grain and most excel

and alfalfa doing especially well when
irrigated. A ride on the narrow gauge

American citizen should visit this won

portions OF our common country before
spending time and money abroad. No
grander sights can feast the eye than

United States of America.

TRIP THROUGH THE HILLS.
An Interesting Narrative of the Countr
West of tho Missouri River.

An Interesting Narrative of the Country
West of tho Missouri River.
For the past three weeks Geo. A.
Silsby has travelled over the Black
Hills country and he was asked by the
editor to give an idea Of his impress
ions OF that famous part of South Da-
kota. Mr.. Silsby came home Saturday
afternoon and gives The REPUBLICAN
the following interesting narrative.
That within the borders of our young
state there actually exists genuine
Klondike of wonderful richness cannot
be gainsaid. The richest hundred
miles square on earth" is believed to
be the Black Hills of South DBkota.
Besides the vastness of it's mineral
resources (which are developed only to
avery limited extent) it is Justly en-
titled to the appellation of the Swift
zerland Of America" For the magni-
ticence of its scenery-the never ending
Kaleidoscope changes that greet the
eye on every hand, compels the un-
stinted admiration of the visitor. The
name 'Black Hills" is derived from
their appearance as seen from q dis
tance. The greater portion of the
Hills are covered with 8 dense growth
of pitch pine trees, whose foliage is so
intensely green that from q distance
they appear to be inky black.
The principle cities of the northern
hills are: Deadwood, Lead, Spearish,
Sturgis and Belle Fourche. OF the
southern portion: Rapid City, Hot
Springs. Custer and Edgemont. Dead
wood is situated in narrow gulcb,
with mountains rising preoipitately on
all sides. A rapid flowing stream
rushes through the city whose waters
are discolored by the rock and ore that
has been crushed or treated in the
various RED act,On works at Lead and
piuma. The business and residence
s+reets are narrow, and the 1000 souls
ace crowded in.o much circumscribed
area. Many of tie residence streets
are up on the mouu Ssin side, terraced
one above the other, and, with the
the lovely homes, present a very
romantic picture. Lead, bare'[ three
miles away, is 1000 feet higher, taG is
reached by narrow guage r&i.way,
also by team.
peadwood has several reduction
| plants. that treat refractory ore. Lead
has but ono plant, that Of the great
Homestake mines, where thousands Of
tons of free milling ore is daily run
through their 400 stamps, and milliors
of the "yelloss boys' are gathered
yearly, last years output approximate
ing S4,0o0,o0o. For 81 years this won
derful mine has oeen extensively
operated, and nearly S7,000,00O have
beec paid in dividends. They have
over fifty years of ore in sight for thei,
pressrt capacity of 400 stamps and
about 1000 men. Il is, in fact, a vas,
mountain over two miles in diameter
filled with free-milling ore, at leas,
seventeen hundred feet deep. During
the past two years the Homestake peo
pie have expended hundreds of thou
saads OF dollars in making permanent
improvements such as mammoth iror
and stee. buildings, new stamp mills
hoists, etc, while the mschinery in
stalled is simply superb and SO massive
as to bewilder tina novice.

A THEATRICAL WEDDING.

Two Members of the Clara Hammer Co.
Joined in Matrimony rhursday Eve.
Mitchell seems to hold out induce
ments to theatrical people to enter the
matrimonial state when they reach this
city, for the second event of that kind
this winter occurred at the Grand opera
house Thursday evening. It was an
nounced through THE REPUBLICAN,
that wedding would take place at the
close Of the performance and it served
to draw out good audience. The con-
tracing parties were Mr.. Samuel Grit.

AN INITIAL APPEARANCE.

Miss Celeste Coughlan Created Mos.
Favorable Impression in Minneapolis.
An item in the Minneapolis Tribune
of last Thursday has some Importance
with young lady who was a former
resident of Mitchell-Miss Celeste
Coughlan. The evening before she ap-
peared in concert with some renowned
musical people-Mrs. Marshall, So
prano of wide fame, and VIM. Sher-
wood OF Chicago, pianist who has q
reputation which covers the musical
circles of the United States. Miss
Coughlan was on the program for
number and of her effort the Minneapo-
lis Tribune makes the following favor
able comment.
Not less interesting than the appear
ance of the pianist and the debut was
the initial coming before local aud-<
iencn of Miss Celeste LsFevre Cough
Ian. young Minneapolis singer who
pursues her studies in St. Paul and is
therefore little associated with local
music. She is promising artist, in
the manner of her execution as in the
dramatic quality Of her voice, which is
strong ana we'll placed. She sang a
Schumann song for which she was
obliged to give an encore, and later
sang by request familiar air from
s'Samson and Delilah.'
The Minneapolis Times makes the
following comment on Miss Coughlan's
initial appearance:
Miss Celeste LeFevre Coughlan Of St.
Paul furnished the vocal numbers and
WAS given most fiattering reception.
Her voice is rich mezzo-soprsnno and
with much sweetness and considerable
dramatic power. She sings with de-
lightful ease and the phrasiug and en-.
unciation were excellent. Her selec-
tions were Carl Bohm's ''Der Waldteu-
fel' and ''My Herart at Thy Sweet
Voice." from Samson and Delilah.
For encore she gave an Irish song.
''The Little Red Lark
We are pleased to notice that Miss
Coughlan is making great Advancement
in musical circles and her voice is at
tracting the attention of musical circles
in the Twin Cities.

THE WORK OF A WOMAN.

What Miss Ida sherman Has Accom-
pli.hed IN Deadwood in Three Years.
Several years ago Mitchell people
will remember young lady, Miss Ida
M. Sherman, who came here and cod
Quoted revival meetings for several
weeks in the Baptist church. They
will remember with what wonderful
power she preached the gospel and of
the great success which attended her
meetings. She seemed to reach the
hardest heart with her sound preach
ing or through the avenue of her
sympathetic pleadings. Mitchell
people bad great respect for the lady
and admired her for the vim and
energy she put into her work. When
M iss Sherman left Mitchell she went
to Deadwood and became pastor Of The
Baptist church and favorable accounts
nave been printed in The REPUBLICAN
columns of her successful work there
Concerning her future movements the
Dead wood Independent has the follow
ing:
miss Ida NJ. l. Sherman, who has
been the pastor of the First Baptis
church of Lead wood, has rendered ner
resignation and it has been accepted.
She expects to leave Deadwood in few
days, 10 engage again in evangelical
WORK, when she dropped three years
ago to take the Deadwood pastorate,
and she will be succeeded here by Rev.
q. L. Kirk. who will come here from
Denver, Col. No person has ever made
his or her power for good 30 strongly
felt in Deadwood as has this young
lady, who has consecrated ner whole
being to Gods work, the upliftmenL of
the fallen and the reclamation OF the
prodigal. She has worked along lines
peculiarly her own, and her methods
have enabled her to reach those whom
it would have been impossible to reach
otherwise. Her sincerity and zeal
have aroused the popular acclaim of
Deadwood. She has maintained that
the religion of Jesus Christ is for those
who haye erred, the weak and the fall.
en-, and she has attested the sincerity
OF her teachings by her every day
practice in Dead wood. She has reveal
ed the Savior of men to more than one
benighted creature since she has been
in Deadwood and has applied the sooth.
ing balm of his love to bruised hearts
in which otherwise the last spark Of
human affection would have been
suffered to perish. The subject of the
vilest betrayal has never appealed to
her in vain but she has sought out and
been taken into an embrace warm
with Christion love and mercy. She
has made special feature of her work
among the Chinese of this city, and hel
Chinese class numbers nearly forty
pupils. They are thoroughly interest
ed in the work she has started among
them. aud take hold of it in earnest
She has besn instructing them in the
common branches of English learning
as we'll as in scriptural matters, anc
they have shown remarkable aptitude
She has built up the Young People
society and the Sunday-school OF th,
church to creditaole proportions, ant
has awakened general interest through
out the church membership, which he.
also had awholesome growth" *

 be increased to 100,00 men and that he will iudorse the recommendation of Sec
 retary Long that three battleships and
 twelve cruisers be built, and twenty
 thousand men and two thsusand five
 hundred boys be enlisted in the Navy.
 How some mems heads do grow after they get an office. During the year that Perry Heth did newspaper work around Washington, nobody ever suspected him of greatness, although he was always on the lookout for the main chance and got his name on the public payroll at every opportunity for long time he drew pay as laborer in the folding room at the Capital, hireinr nan, ct helf his sal ary, to do the work but he got into Boss Hanna s good graces, and 10 he became First Assistant Postmaster General and now he wants 10 be Senator from Indiana. Should that want be gratifed he will have to have his hats made to l order, His head is already swelled out of the recognition of many of his old friends.
