ern tier of counties and along the
Arkansas Platte Divide. Moder-
ately heavy showers have fallen in
the Arkansas Valley and on the
western slope; rain and snow III
the mountain district; rain in the
south central counties and an eN-
ceptionally heavy fall in San Luis
Park.
The rainfall has put the soil in
good condition for plowing and
seeding and especially opportune
in the south-central counties, where
water was scarce even for domestic
purposes on the other hand it will
lessen the nutritive qualities of
the feed already cured on the
ranges and the season is too far
advanced to warrant the curing of
new growth. The third crop of
alfalfa is being harvested in the
Arkansas Valley and is nearly
ready to cut in the north-central
section. Conditions have been
favorable to the maturing of belat
ed crops in the elevated districts
and the harvest thereof is progress
ing favorably. Wet and cloudy
weather has retarded the ripening
of cantaloupes in the Arkansas
Valley and the late crop is in dan
ger from early frost Recent
high winds have blown off such
quantities of tree fruits as to mater
tally lessen the prospective yield.

Death Of Charles Granger.

After an illness of several weeks
death came to the relief of Charles
Granger Monday evening.
Deceased was 81 years of age and
had been a resident of Rapid City
for number of years past, having
moved here from Kansas City, Mo.
For several years he was employed
in Kansas City as box-maker and
was able to make fair competency
for himself and family: Six years
ago while working at his trade he
fell on an icy transfer and sus tanned
injuries from which he never en- tire
lv recovered. He was bedrid6en for
seven mon :hs after the accident and
as soon as he was able he moved to
the Hills, settling in Rlpia City in
hopes that the change of climate
would benefit him. While here he
has worked at whatever he could
get to do, his wife adding her mite
toward the sustenance of the famil y
by laundry work and sewing.
After an illness of several weeks
death entered the home, as an
nounced above, and ended the un.
equal struggle. Deceased l'aves 4
wife and four children, besides an
aged father and mother and three
brothers.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Baptist church Wednesday
afternoon, Rev. A. f. Steuernage
officiating, assisted by Rev. Arnold
Luton, and the remains were lait
to their final rest in Mountain View
cemetery west of the city.

one of the three who refused to be a
party to the plot Of the republican
leaders. Howev,r the fusionists
have men of known ability and learn
ing in the legal profession, and
whose honor and integrity above
criticism. Among these stands out
as bright star, Senator Edmund
Smith, of Rapid City. While we do
not know how Senator Smith would
take this proposition, it is con-
cedea that he is one Of the most
eminent and clear headed attorneys
ia the Hills, and they produce the
best in the state. His honest and
earnest devotion to the people at
Pierre, recently, has brought him to
the front. His fearless and con-
scientious fight against the "ma-
chine has made him feared and
respected by even his republican
opponents. We have no fear in as
serting that should Senator SIN ith
be prevailed upon to accept he would
receive the unanimous nomination
from every district in the Hills

At any rate Reed got what h

SYMPATHY WITH 'af4E BOERS

The British are indignant because the
A~frikandsrs sympathize with the Beers
and do not fail officially to say so. They
seriously deprecate war and hope all
efforts possible will be exhausted to
prevent war, but they are in sincere
sympathy with he weaker party in the
quarrel. The reply Of President Kru-
President Steyn in his speech to the
v~olksraad, said plainly enough that
there is nothing declared the pres
ident, that warrants war or an attack
upon the Transvaal. Such differences
as exist can be solved by arbitration.
War would be an insult to religion and
civilization" We doubt not that an
overwhelming sentiment like this pre-
walls among the informed poples of the
world outside of the British empire.
The more we read of the causes the
less grounds appear for the course Of
the British government. The British
do not appear to be ready. If there
are really $1,000 Beers ready to fight
Great Britain viii do well to gather q
large army before moving. Twice have
the Beers defeated its army with ter
rife loss IN past fights. Even such
friends of England as the able New
York Evening Post canno Justify Eng
lands course. Referring to the nan
ner IN which the Beers are dealt with by
the British officials that great paper
edited by an Englishman, gives this
statement, which is decidedly inform
ing:
The reply also asserts that the
T~ransvaal government was assured
by Mr.. Chamberlain that the proposals
| made would not be considered by him
| a refusal of his terms. Now, England
cannot go to war with sue a charge of
| trickery on the part of her agents I'M
| refuted. Whatever the exact truth
about this, we have only to revert to
the text Of Sir Alfred Miners account
of the Bloemfontein conference last
| May, to see that Kruger has since of
| fered all that was then demanded, and,
| moreover, that the coupling Of a new
| assertion of Transvaal independence
with the franchise concessions was
| practically a suggestion of Sir Alfred's.
| He said to Kruger that change Of po-
! licy towards the Outlanders would
strengthen the independence of the re-
| public" and in his own detailed scheme
| of franchise reform he distinctly speci-
| fed that the new citizens We're to take
oath to defend the independence of tn
| country Yet when this was put by
Kruger in his official proposals to the
British government, it was declared
| quite iaadmissible."
