Mrs. j.. b. Gossage of the Rapid City
Journal was visiting with her uncles
and aunts, last week, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
r. Bond of Mayo, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Israel Bower, east of Custer, and here
is what she says of Custer: eat my
uncle's / found them just settled in a
new house. If anyone thinks people
are IN the back woods who live out
from Custer a sight of this home would
show them their mistake. My aunt has
her carriage, my young gentleman
cousin his bicycle, one Of the young la
dies another bicycle, the other a camera
with which she takes and furnishes very
fine pictures. There is music. pictures
and houseplants-everything needed or
to be found ia a refined and happy
home. The country may be going to
the dogs as the howlers say, but the
houses along the road have lace curtains
and h~ouseplants at the windows, and
carriages in the barns, and while Custer
may be quiet they all seem to be living
we'll and enjoying life."

AS soon as an attraction is booked at
the opera house it is the customary
question for the public to ask: How
many are there IN the company ?"
The question that should be asked is ::
"Who are the actors OF artists, and are
they good?" II only requires a NOM
ent's reflection to realize that no man
ager can carry a company Of ten, fifteen
or twenty artists and have them all first
class, for good artists not only demand
a large salary but insist on its being
paid. Mr.. Haywood believes that the
general public prefer to see six or eight
first.class city artists to II whole stage
full of transformers" and has sur
rounded himself with artists as fine in
their respective lines as Haywood is in
his. The result is a performance that
from rise TO fall of curtain is full Of pure
fresh fun, popular music, entertaining
specialties and beautiful women This
attraction is to ap"e ar here on the
evening of June End.

Hill City is to have a grand celebra.
ton on the Fourth Of July. At a mass
meeting Of the citizens last Monday
night about $500 was subscribed. 1t is
expected as much more will be sub
scribed later. As Hill City has not had a
celebration since 1890, she will no doubt
outdo herself this year. Everybody
was enthusiastic and it is proposed to
have an unusually elaborate program Of
entertainment, consisting of good speak
ing, racing, ball games, dancing and
elaborate display of fireworks in the
evening. How about the Custer cele'
bration? Isn't about time that some
thing be done in this direction if we are
going to celebrate or the 4th.

Killed Suddenly.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Reddick, of Her.
mosa, have been called upon to suffer
an overwhelming grief in the death of
their Oldest son, Bonnie, a lad of eleven
years. The particulars of the accident
which deprived the bright little fellow
of life are unknown, except hat he
was driving cattle for his father, and
was near Hammerquist's ranch at Farm
ingdale. The first intimation received
here Of the tragedy was through Messrs.
Wood & Buell. receiving a telegram from
Hermosa that Bonnie was killed and TO
send two men to Hammerquist's ranch.
1t is supposed that he was assisting in
driving a bunch Of cattle at the time of
his death as that is what he has been
doing. He passed through here two
weeks age, having been on a like mis-
sion-driving cattle to the Morreau
country. The lad was a bright, self
reliant boy, and his death is "A sad blow
to his parents. Mrs. Reddick is a sister
of p. F. Mcmahon and that gentleman
went down to Hermosa on last evenings
train.-Rapid Journal 18th.
From later reports W. learn that the
little fellow was driving the team to
which was hitched a wagon containing
the summer supplies for the ranch on
Morreau creek, moving machine and
hayrack when in some manner the
wagon went over an embankment into
a gully. Bonnie was of course thrown
out and under the load, with the sad re-
suit that his neck was broken. Mr..
Reddick and two men were near, but
were not able to do anything.
