DEATH or PORTER WARNER.
The Nestor of Black Hills Journalism
Dies suddenly at lsapid City.

The Nestor of Black Hills Journalism
Dies suddenly at ltapil City.
The entire BiacS Hills was shocked
last Friday when the report was sent
out from i,apid City that Hon. Porter
Warner, receiver of the U. S. land
oiiic at Rapid City, had died shortly
after noon at his home in that city.
He had been suffering with pneumon-
la for few weeks and was recovering,
as they supposed, very nicely. He was
able to DO about the house this day for
tho first time, and all we're feeling hap
py over his improved condition. He
went to the bath room and in a few
moments was found there unconscious.
While he in measure recovered con-
sciouSness, it was for but II short time,
when he quietly passed to the great
beyond. He was in the sixty third year
of his age, but had been enjoying ex-
cellent health up to the time he con-
tracted the grip which resulted in
pneumonia.
Has life in the Black Hills dates
from 1871, when h. established the
Black Hills Times, which paper he con-
tinued under his own editorial man
agement without Interruption or the
SKIP of an issue until 1897, when he
consolidated it with the Deadwood
Pioneer, in which Pio.eer- Times he was
largely interested and tho official edi-
tor in-chief at the time OF his death.
Porter Warner will be greatly missed
by his large circle OF acqlaintances, all
of whom were his friends, all over the
Hills. Ike was IL warm hearted. gener-
Gus, genial, interesting man. 1t was
always Il pleasure to meet him. lie all
ways had good word for everybody
and for every deserving enterprise
One could not minsle with him with
out going away feeling encouraged and
more hopeful. He was just getting
into circumstances that would enable
him TIC c.,ioy life more than he had
during his busy life of worries and
cares that so often beset the newspa-
per publisher.
Funeral services were held at Rapid
City Sunday, a special train being run
down from Deadwood to permit the
large number of friends, who could,
pay their last tribute of respect to the
deceased. The remains were then tax
en- to CHICAGO for burial
The STAR joins with the host OF
friends that Porter Warner had in the
Black Hills in extending to the be.
reaved family it's earnest and sincere

.'Pansy Hopkins" Scores the w. G. T. u.
"Pansy Hopkins" who is incarcer-
ated in the Minnehaha county Jail on
charge of improperly using the mails,
apparently lays the blame of his i'm
prisoument to the Canton branch of
the w. c. T.U.
Ever since Hopkins was locked up
he has put i'll his time writing letters
and it has come to be the general be-
lief that he is not of sound mind. He
had addressed an open letter to the
Canton w. G. I. U. as follows:
"Gentlewomen: This is your title
by courtesy, in any case. You will re-
member that during the last decade of
the sNineteenth century since the man
divine thought and was hated in Caper-
naum," the question has been boldly
asked and openly discussed, "Is mar
riage ,ilure?"
/ have never heard that you pro-
posed to imprison or suppress any one
for asking or repeating, or discussing
that question. which strikes at the
very foundation of sexual morality,
the marriage bond. But have heard
that for suggesting rational means of
making marriage more assured and
beneficent success-a success in which
no other part of the human family is
SO much interested as loyal woman
hood-a certain man had been wanton-
ly charged with obscenity, lewdness
immortality and wilful violation of the
law, and through personal malice and
your aid, imprisoned.
In view of this unquestionable fact
how do you hope to escape just
charge of being un- Christian, and anti.
Christian, of being, in fact, wilful and
Pharisaical prosecutors of Christ, The
King? Most truly,
Albert g. Hopkins.

GREAT NORTHERN II. Il.
Rumors That Jim Hills Great Railroad is
Planning on Extending its Hur.
ON Line Westward.

A Huron special of the Sd inst says:
"There is much speculation in this
locality concerning the proposed eX-
tension of the Great Northern railroad
from this city to the Black Hills.
There appears to be excellent authori-
ty for the statement that plans have
been matured for doing the work the
coming summer. The proposed route
is from Huron, which for several years
past has been the terminus of the
Great Northern line from Minneapolis
and st. Paul, through the southern
part of Beadle county, thence across
Sanborn, Aurora, Douglas and Charles
Mix counties to the Missouri river,
crossing that stream at a point near
Wheeler A line will also be con.
strncted from Yankton through Bon
Homme and Charles Mix counties, con-
Meeting with the Huron line at the
Missouri river crossing. The proposed
line will be known as the Southern
Dakota railway, and will pass through
a s.r ion of country sadly in need of
railway facilities and rich i'll agricul-
tural products and cattle. Recently a
bill passed the national senate grant
ing bridge privileges across tho Mis-
souri, river and also right of way across
the old Yankton Indian reservation.
This fact coupled with the knowledge
that prominent parties here and at
other points on the new line have been
in conference with President Hill and
other Great Northern railway officials
for some months regarding the con-
struction of the limo now seemingly
definitely decided upon, adds weight
to the belief that it will he built"

ANACONDA NEWS,
THEY WERE RELEASED
Richard and Charles Simington
Promise to Reform.
BEGINNING A GOOD WORK
Which Will Be Performed by a Few
Gentlemen-Boys Will Be Given
Positions and Kept Out of
the Streets.

Richard and Charles Smington, who
were arrested on Saturday evening on
Cedar street, charged with stealing a
sleigh, were released yesterday by order
of Judge Boland. The request for their
release was made by William Montgom-
cry, well-known Salvation army work
er of this city, who promised to look
after the two boys and procure posi-
'tions for them.
Mr.. Montgomery, on reading of the
two little fellows arrest in Sunday
mornings Standard, Immediately went
to the county Jail and there had an in
terview with them, and he was so salts
fed with their promises that he decided,
if possible, to have them turned over to
him. He went to the house of the pro-
prietor of the sleigh, who assured him
that he had no desire to prosecute the
two little Simingtons. Being thus en-
couraged. Mr.. Montgomery appeared
yesterday afternoon before Judge b.
land and explained to him that he would
find work for the two boys if they We're
released, and this was DONE
In speaking to a Standard reporter
on the subject Mr.. Montgomery said:
This is just the beginning of the work
that few friends and myself will per-
form hereafter. The boys are young
and that is the time to begin putting
good intentions into them. The little
fellows have told me that they We're
newsboys and that during their sales
they were sometimes encouraged into
drinking, but I assure you that it will
be different with them now. They are
two of the toughest boys I have seen,
but we will find work for them and they
will soon reform. You will be sur
prised before long to know of the good
work we will perform. It is being done
in the East and there are no reasons
why it can't be done in the West"
