Hon. NJ. r Greeley, Of Gary, H. H.

of Flandreau, members of the Board
of Regents, arrived in the city Satur.
day night from the northern Hills,
where thep have been looking after the
school of mines and the normal school
at Spearfish. Mr.. Greeley is an old
and intimate friend of the writer and
we were especially pleased to see him
here. It was his first trip to the Black
Hills and to say that he was agreeably
surprised with the magnitude and re-
sources of our little world over here
expresses his sentiments but mildly.
He was delighted and amazed at the
wonders, the beauties and rich resourc-
es found in the Black Hills. Mr..
Greeley at once became most ardent
advocate for building railroad to
connect the eastern and western por-
tions of the state and says he proposes
to agitate the question at every op-
portunity. He feels, and rightly 80,
that the whole state would be greatly
benefited by having such a road. The
Black Hills will always be found gladly
assisting in any movement looking to-
ward such railroad building, for it
would be of great advantage to the
Hills, but it would be of vastly more
importance and benefit to the agricul-
tural interests of the eastern part of
the state. Mr.. Greeley was called to
Edgemont and Wyoming to look after
matters relating to sheep and wool for
eastern houses, and we regret his in.
ability to remain in Hot Springs day
upon his return as he had planned
He is an interesting man, prominent in
the better politics of the state aud gen.

Wesleyan auar,s, Concert Tonight.

The Wesleyan Male Quartet made its
second appearance before Deadwood
audience last night. The Methodist
church was crowded, and enthusiastic
applause gave evidence that the quar-
tet was fully up to the standard of en-
cellence of u year ago. An addition to
the program which adds much to it's
interest are the numbers by a. Roy Is

that attended the entertainment given
by the Wesleyan Quartet Monday
night. The singing was grand, and
they responded to an encoreafter each
number. The boys captivated the
audience, and if they ever visit this
city again they will be royalty received.
Mr.. Israel, the reader, came in for his
share of the praise. What mostpleased
the audience was the superb whistling
of Mr.. Ireland, the first tenor. Mr..
Ireland gavea whistling duet and many
believed it impossible for man to pro-

WHAT OTHERS THINK.


Too much cannot be said in praise of
President Connor for the able and fair
manner in which she presided at all
the meetings on this occasion. There
we're many perplexing questions to be
settled, but without exception all felt
that the president dealt justly with
every one in deciding them.-Dead-
wood Pioneer Times.
The Travellers club, assisted by the
Shakespeare club of Hot Springs, re-
ceived the guests and served light re-
freshments. The ladies were 80 kindly
treated that they feel they should
make some public mention of the fact.
To the two clubs of Hot Springs and
especially to Mrs. Connor and Mrs.
Evans, mention should be made Of the
charming manner in which they enter
tained their guests. Mrs. Connor
makes an ideal president of the FEEDER

The story Of the Kansas soldiers is
almost a history Of the war in the Phil

regiment took part in nearly 80 en-
gagements and bore the brunt Of the
fighting in %. The daring and bravery
of the Kansans soon became proven
bal, and the example set by the men
from the SunflOwer state undoubtedly
had a salutary effect upon the other
troops. The heroic feats Of Fred Funs-

thrilled the nation and contributed to
the battle-wOn glory Of the entire regi-
ment.

In a beautiful cemetery in the quaint

other graves in the cemetery, but dis

monument which adOrns il. The mar

of the dead man and the time Of his
death, but upon it also is engraved a
huge elephant, sculPtured with striking
fidelity. To the casual passerby the old

The returned warriors were escorted
by nearly 1000 regulars, and were re-

Gen. Funston and wife were enthusi-

said he expected the regiment to re-
ceive orders to proceed east immedi-
ately.
Gen. Funston, when asked what he
thought of the Filipinos, said: ''They
have some pretty good fighters there
and some pretty good shots, but the
majority Of them are POOR He added
that while some of the Filipinos are in
telligent, he did not think them capa-

that he was not a candidate for the
