VIRGINIA MUST BUY.
THE STATE WILL PROBABLY FUR
NIsH CLOTHING TO HER SOLDIERS.
DEPARTMENT WILL SEND NOTHING.
No Equipment OF Any Character So
Far Rcceived-The Governor Asked
10 Purchase Underwenr-Routin of
the Day I'm Camp.

1t looks now as though Virginia would
nave to equip the three regiments OF
troops she has furnished the National
Government. or have them suffer for
necessarles
Inc war Department has done practl-
cally nothing for the men brought here.
hundreds enlisted under the impression
'hd' they would promptly receive supplies
OF every Character. Many men who were
wen clothed at home came to Camp Lee
without their best clothing. thinking they
would be at once supplied here. and that
their worn. everyday suits were the pro-
per dress for roughing II in for day or
two.
The result is that the mems clothing
IN many Instances, is worn out. But
Few brought changes Of any kind, and
clean underwear it is almost impossible
10 ind in camp. Many OF the men who
turned out in the Memorial-Day parade
Monday had to sleep in clothing soaking
wet that night.
THEY FEEL THE NEGLECT.
1t is natural that the men should feel
mat they have been neglected They
came to camp in high spirits, feeling they
were about to enter the service Of the
best master in the world-Uncle Sam
but the old fellow seems to have given
them the cold shoulder
A specially-hard feature OF this matter
Is that many of the men are actually
ashamed TO see their relatives and friends
when they call. owing to the neglect of
the department in furnishing clothing
The men in camp are, to put IT very
plainly, in very poor spirits. They have
about ceased to expect the department 10
equip them, and are looking to the State
to give them the supplies which Uncle
Sam either cannot furnish or has not
done so through official incompetency and
neglect.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-06-01

Colonel Morton Marye, Auditor Of Pub
lie Accounts, called at the Office of the
Governor yesterday and had sent TO his
Excellency, who is now at Marion,
communication urging him to use money
from the State funds 10 help equip and
uniform the Virginia troops at Camp
Lee who are unprovided for in this re-
spect. Colonel Marye stated that half the
men In camp had no uniforms hundreds
were without decent shoes or change OF
underwear, and there was hardly a single
company equipped for marching. Every
one at all familiar with conditions at.
Camp Lee will bear witness that Colonel
Marye has in no wise exaggerated the
case.
Colonel Marye is OF the opinion that
the Federal Government will refund the
money used by the State to give the
men equipment, and even is this is not
done, he is sure the Virginia Legisla-
ture will appropriate the necessary
amount to replace the fund. Governor
Tyler las already had about 500 pairs OF
shoes pu rchased for the troops, and these
will be paid for out Of his contingent
funC. There is little doubt but that
Governor Tyler will order the purchase
Of the supplies.

Fatal Accident at Keystone.

William J. Lintz, carpenter Of Key
stone, met his death by accident in the
Holy Terror mine on Tuesday last.
Lintz and another carpenter, Al Osman.
were at work on the cage, dressing tim
bcrs, and had exc usive use Of the cage.
They gave the signal TO be lowered, and
one to stop. The cage stopped, but
again moving downward another signal
Of one bell was given to stop. This
signal Of one bell is also used to raise
the cage when at a standstill. The en-
gineer raised the cage, when Lintz was
killed. Osman called for help, and the
men on the 400 fool level rung up the
cage to that level, when Lintz was
placed upon the other cage and raised
to the top. A jury, consisting of NJ. J..
Seaman, Frank Reynolds and II. r..
Leonard was empanelled by Coroner W
III. Boyd, and after considering ali the
testimony, and examining the mine and
scene Of the accident. they returned a
verdict that deceased came to his death
by reason Of signal given to raise the
cage by some person unknown to the
jury. No blame is attached to the en-
gineer in charge, or TO the management
Of the Holy Terror company, who take
great pains to provide every facility
possible to prevent accident, and to en-.
@ble employees to be protected under all
cjrcuu stances
The funeral took place at Hill City on
Thursday under the auspices of Key
stone lodge, A. f. & A. NJ, of which
deceased was member.
Deceased was married man, 3j years
Of age, and beside. his wife, he leaves
two children lie has two brothers in
Keystone, John and William. The oc.
currcnce is one of peculiar sadness, and
the numerous friends Of the deceased
will extend their earnest sympaty to
his surviving family and relatives in
their great bereavement.

Candidates are Numerous.

According to published reports there
will be no dsarth Of candidates !or
official recognition at the coming repub
lean state convention The number
reported as having openely announced
their candidacy for congress including
those who are as yet in the hands Of
their friends, is eleven, among whom
We note William Gardner Of Rapid
City and Kirk G.. Phillips Of headwood.
For Governor there are nine candi-
dates. all Of whom are residents Of the
eastern part Of the state.
For Secretary Of state there is but
one candidate, W. II Rodllc, whose
denomination is said to be very prob.
able.
For State Treasurer, the name uf John
f. Diamond, Of Brookings is the only
one thus far announced.
For Attorney General, four candi-
dates are named, none Of whom reside
in the Black Hills.
For Supt. Of schools, three candidates
are announced, all residing east of the
river
For Commissioner Of School and
Public Lands, David Eastman, of Will
mot is the only candidate yet named.
With reference to his candidacy for
congress TX Judge Gardner, of Rapid
City is quoted as saying
My of hand impression is that the
Iii Is will have one or two candidates
tor congress ut the next convention.
Ii is not at all probable in my Judgment.
that any Of them will be nominated 4
vast majority Of the people live east OF
the Missouri river. They are well
supplied with distinguished statesman

the time / shall probably, in form at
least. be candidate in order to rally

not, however. think it possible for a

A Vivid Comparison.

The Engineering and Mining Journal
estimates the total output Of gold from
the Yukon or Klondike region for the
past season at $5,OO0,OOO. Estimates for
the Black Hills for 1897 place the out
put at between S7,0000OO and $SOOO.0GO.
In the Yukon country not less than
5000 men we're employed in mining,
while in the Black Hills less than 5000
men were employed in the mines, mills,
smelters and other reduction works. In
the Black Hills, assuming the outpu,
was 100000, the average per man
employed per annum was S2,333 In
the Yukon region 100000 This state
ment is not made for the purpose OF
keeping anyone from going
to the Yukon, but is merely statement
of fact for those who have sent substi.
tutes to that far off region. so that they
will know where to make an investment
in order to get even. and to realize on
the Klondike veture.
