Six Months In n Bath.

Life In bath must be somewhat mo-
notonous, but it is quite common in the
best of our modern hospitals. At first it
was tried only in a few absolutely hope
less cases, but the results were so salts
factory that various forms of disease are
now Systematically treated by continu-
GUS immersion in water
Some time ago, for instance, a young
girl was dying from a complication of
terrible diseases. She was mere shad-
ow, and nothing but death was before
her under ordinary treatment. But an
ingenious doctor placed her on a sheet
and sank her into warm bath, so that
only her head remained above water.
The bath was kept constantly warm,
and in it she ate, drank and slept for
1873 days and nights. At the end of the
time she stepped out fat and strong.
In skin diseases the continuous bath
Is invaluable, for it can be medicated,
and many hopeless cases of burning
have been successfully treated in this
extraordinary way. Exchange
Sydney Smiths Prescription.
The late Henry Reeve, G. B., D: O.
L., for many years leader writer of the
London Times and until his death edi-
tor Of the Edinburgh Review, has mar
rated much amusing gossip of the celeb
rites of his acquaintance in his
'Memoirs and Correspondence. The
book contains one great rarity-a new
story of Sydney Smith.
Mr.. Reeve was dining one night st a
house where the other distinguished
guests included Macaulay and Sydney
Smith. Macaulay was at that time lay
ing society waste with his waterspouts
Of talk. People in his company were al
ways bursting for want of an opportu-
nifty Of dropping word, and this was
not an exceptional occasion.
At length, dinner being over, Sydney
Smith Reeve and q few others went
away by themselves. and Immediately
got on the overpowering subject of
Macaulay.
HE confounds soliloquy and col
loquy," said Reeve.
"He is a book in breeches," Smith
declared.
1.-The very worst feature in Macau-
lays character is his appalling mem
ory," said Reeve.
"Aye, indeed" said Sydney Smith
"Why, he could repeat the whole His
tory of the Virtuous Bluecoat Boy, in
three volumes, post Svo, without
slip"
After pause as if of consideration,
the witty divine added. "He should take
two tablespoonful of the waters Of

Stock Companies.

: The organization of stock companies
is considered the best and readiest way
to procure money for the development
of mine, but the grand question with
many has been shall the stock be made
assessable or non.assessable There is
nothing in the law to prevent organiza
ton upon either plan and generally
promoters have preferred to organize
on the on-assessable plan, for the rea.
son that such stock is more popular
and generally more acceptable to the
average purchaser. This is only be.
cause they are experienced and un.
familiar with the way the thing works.
For ourself We prefer stock which is
assessable, so much so that We could not
be induced to buy any other kind. For
the reason that when you buy stock in
an undeveloped property you do so for
the purpose Of having the property de-
veloped into paying mine and you do
not expect any dividends until this end
is gained, and this is seldom according
to our experienced accomplished in a
worcestershire company. For the rea
son that, although you may set aside a
liberal amount of stock to be sold for
development purposes, it is from the
nature Of the case always sold so cheap
that the amount raised is not sufficient
to develop the mine to point where it
will yield a dividend, and when that
money is exhausted there is no way
whereby you can raise any more, and
although you may feel, and have reason
to believe, that you lack but few feet
ofreaching the pay ore you are com
PEELED to stop. The mine becomes aban-
doned, all you have invested is lost, and
that is the end Of the company and you
are left with your stock on hand and it
is worthless. If on the other hand the
sary to raise funds to 60 ahead and
prove whether you have paying mine
or not, and the stockholders are not sat.
isfed to quit, they can ny their vote
levy small assessment and 60 ahead.
Should any stockholder feel it hard
ship to pay out any more money on the
enterprise he can always sell portion
of his stock, which it is better for him
to do even at large discount to enable
him to carry the rest, and when pay is
finally struck his stock on hand is worth
big money and he may come out of it a
rich man. Or if the assessment is re.
peated again and again he can keep sell
ing his stock till it is all gone. He by
that time has gone far enough to prove
that the mine is a failure, that it will
not pay, he feels satisfied and is willing
to let the tail go with the hide. The
company has accomplished its design,
the work has been done which they
started out TO do, the ground has been
given a fair trial and when they get
through they have no worthless stock to
cry over and everything is cleaned up,
gone where the woodbine twineth, and
he is much better satisfied than to be
forced te quit when, as he believes, the
enterprise is on the verge of success.
That's the difference, and that's the rea-
son We like assessable stock.

Fire.

Again we are compelled to chronicle
the advent of the fire fend in our city,
who came unheralded at the unseason-
able hour Of 3 o'clock in the morning
to perform his work of destruction.
This time it was our enterprsing towns
man, Henry Schenk, who was the vic
tim, who on last Wednesday lost his
house, a fine two story residence, with
furniture, clothing, jewelry, money
everything, all gone mp in smoke.
All were asleep when tho fire broke
out, and considering the brief space
which elapsed from the time the fire
was first discovered until all was
blackened mass Of ashes and embers,
Mr.. Schenk may be congratulated, that
he was able to save himself and family
from destruction. The house was stu.
ated on upper Custer Avenue and stood
alone, otherwise we might now be call
ed upon to record far more disastrous
conhagration. 1t took the united efforts
of the town people as it was, to keep
the buildings in the neighhc-h from
sharing the same calamitons tate.
On the building which we are inform.
ed cost 81, 10000, there was an insurance
of 81 10000, with $4,000 more on the
furniture. making in all an insurance of
Of 81 10000, while the loss, all together
is estimated at $4,000. The house
was the one originally built by Mr..
Norman Atchison, who never fully COM
pleted it and it was afterwards bought
by DIR. Fisher. and occupied by him as a
residence until he moved away from
Custer.
Mr.. Schenk purchased the property
about year ago, furnished it in good
style, and having removed his family
from their ranch at Sheridan, they
moved into it, and were content to settle
down for the remainder of their days
But such was not to be the case. but
instead the truth of the old p. overb has
been illustrated, man proposes and fate
dsnoses, and the old couple with a
family of children are once more home,
| less.

A. d. Clark Il Dead.

Died at his home at Iowa Falls. on
the 7th of April, 1899, Avery ID. Clark
in the 44th year of his age.
These are sad, cold facts as they come
to us over the wire, and to say that they
brought a shock to the many friends
who knew him here through the many
long years of intimate association, is to
state the fact too mildly. In truth
there is perhaps no man who has ever
made Custer his hoe, whe counted
more friends among its people, or ever
died more universally regretted. 1t was
as lamentable as it was unexpected, and
it is hard to realize that the jovial,
strong, and handsome "A. d." has quit
the shores of time. aud the familiar
sound Of his voice will be heard in our
midst no more.
We have thus far learned nothing OF
the particulars which led up to the sad
and tragic event, but from what is
known Of the nature of the circum-
stances which have characterized his
life for the last ten years, give ample
opportunity for those who knew him
best to guess the reason of his rash act
1t may be summed up in few words.
Desperation, brought on by intemper-
ance AID financial losses, were his un.
doing, and left him a physical wreck
and pride which could not brook the
consequent humiliation which comes
with change of fortune, drove him to
take the fatal step, and he sought to end
all his troubles by putting ball through
his brain. Such an ending to the life
which promised so much is sad, sad
indeed.
A. D. Clark was born in the town OF
Iowa Falls, Iowa, where he received his
schooling, and learned the trade of a
printer. He came to the Black Hills in
1877, where, in addition to the pursuit
of his avocation as compositor, he be-
came also interested in a group of mines
in the Bald Mountain district. In Sep
tember, 1880, he went into partnership
with Joseph Kubler, and they removed
from Deadwood to Custer City. where
they established the Custer CHRONICLE
He remained in Custer as editor of the
paper until the Northwestern railroad
reached Buffalo Gap, and taking advan-
tage of the boom, he sold out his inter
est in the CHRONICLE to his partner and
started the Buffalo Gap News in 1885
This paper he conducted successfully
for several years, and then leased it to
other parties. 1t was about 1888, that
he began to realize a benefit from his
mining property which he had acquir.
ed about ten years previous. From
! those most conversant with his affairs
