UNDER BLACK WINGS
Neither Love Nor Duty
Can Stay the Sui
c;de's Hand.
Three Women, High In WASH
inston Society, Kill Themselves
Because They Believed Health
was Gone From Them Forever.

"Opening his mouth wide, he b~rusquely
thrust the pistol-barrel into the very bottom
Of his throat and pressed upon the trigger"
OF course the shot killed him. He had
been challenged TO q duel, and the fear OF
death drove him to suicide. Guy de Maui
PEASANT, the great French writer, tells tho
story. This is no mere fancy of a novelist.
1t is a 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-dozen
persons will, in a single day, take their own
lives. Why2 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
OF a cure, take their own lives, Is the most
appalling of all the doleful facts connected
with suicide. Within a few weeks three wo-
men, moving in the highestsociety in Wash
ington, killed themselves because they saw
no hope Of overcoming disease. They had
struggled and hoped until struggle seemed
vain and hope a mocking delusion. One
day the shadow OF the black wing was SO
near that 1t blotted out all the JOY and sun
shine OF the world. The next days papers
told Of a historic family's awful affection.
Ailments leading to self-murder are
roughly divisible INTO two classes: thosethat
are mostly fanciful and proceed from ill-reg-
ulated nerves, and those VI which the symp-

Anniversary Observance.

The local lodges Of Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs, augmented by an Edgemont
contingent consisting Of Rev Poland
and four Rebekahs, observed the
Seventy-ninth anniversary Of the /. O..
o. F. in a very appropriate manner in
this place on Tuesday.
The regular exercises at the hall were
preceded by q street parade which was
elaborate and imposing, embracing the
members of both orders with Company
Il" Of the s. d. National guards as escort.
The exercises at the hall were exceed
ingly interesting, the able and eloquent
address of Past Grand Master II. A
Piper, Of Hill City, being especially
worthy of note. Brief addresses by
Rev. Kendall ofthis place, Rev. Poland
Of Edgemont, and w. f. Benedict Of
this city, were also interesting features
of the occasion.
The interesting affair was supplements
ed by a grand ball at the opera house
which was replete with pleasing and
enjoyable features.

When the ews of the sinking Of the
Spanish war vessel Alphonso 18th
reached this place on Friday evening
of last week, the entire population
seemed to have suddenly united in a
wild and prolonged demonstration of
hilarious joy. Flaming hon fires were
kept aglow to a late hour OF the night;
the deafening roa of cannon (giant

mountains and plains; the unceasir.g
explosion of fire crackers, and the
pyrotechnic display on the streets ad.
ded their full share to the imposing
status of the scene, and the myriads of
flags that gently kissed the passing
breeze served to give additional empha.
sis to the fact that patriotism was run
ming rampant in Custer. There was but
one sad feature III connection with the
whole affair, and that was that there
was no foundation for the report, and,
as afterward learned, the old tub was
still afloat.

toms are misunderstood by patients and
physician. In the pitiless struggle for exist
ence the sick are at an awful disadvantage.
They are trampled under foot like lame
wolves in the rush of their strong and
hungry fellows. Small wonder is il that the
invalid, gloomily rejecting on what he be-
lieves to be his hopeless state, resorts to
pistol or poison; to the rope or the river.
A few dry words from his doctor have
fallen on his ear like a death-sentence. In
some medical book the sufferer has read of
deadly diseases with symptoms such as he
noted in himself. He concludes he has some
disease he has read about, an inference as
natural as it Is unwarranted. Pride, duty and
love are powerless to hold thesuicide's hand.
Among the readers of this article may be
some who have pondered long on the ques-
ton whether q sick life Is worth living, yet
have not reached that pitch Of despair when
they would push themselves across the line
between time and eternity. To them a few
words of simple, temperate common sense.
How do you know that you cannot be as
well and strong as any Of your neighbors2

TROTTING STATIONS.

The outlook for an increased demand
for good, stylish roadsters is, at this time,
exceedingly fattering. The State of
Illinois is known TO be short about 5000
head, and Iowa is now being sifted for
this class Of horses at prices ranging
from S75 to $50 per head, and the prices
are advancing rapidly. Now is the time
to urn your attention to the raising Of
of this class of horses. w. c. Ward, Of
Custer, is now offering for sale a num-
Der of large, well bred, trotting stations,
which may be bought cheap for cash.
