Rev. Clevenger's Good Work.

The UNION remarked a week or so
ago that Rev. G. S. Clevenger, tor
merly OF this city, would delive" a
few lectures in behalf of the state
school of mines located here. That
he is interesting the people of the
eastern part of the state is plain
from the following taken from the
Onida Waterman Of May 25:
1.-THE lecture delivered by Rev. G..
S. Clevenger of Pierre before the
teachers of Sully county on the re-
sources of the Black Hills and the
advantages to be gained by the
students of this State who wish to
attend the School of Mines, was
listened to with the closest atten-
ton.
Mr.. Clevenger has carefully pre-.
pared his subject and no one will
listen to his word pictures without
having a better knowledge of our
state.
He is particularly interested in
the School Of Mines and pictures in
q forcible, clear and pleasing man
ner the opportunities it offers young
men and women.

Killed Her Own Father

Sheriff G. NJ. Leedy came in from
Newcastle, Wyo,, Saturday evening
having in custody a boy and girl be-
Longing to Frank Bouts, who lives
in Pennington county just on this
at the Wyoming line. The girl is
wanted for the murder Of her father,
which occurred some days ago.
The story told by the girl, who is
but 10 years of oge, is a narrowing
one. She states that her father was
very cruel, often beating them un-
mercifully and driving them out in
to thu cold. He provided nothing
in the way of wearing apparel and
the family lived in a hut and slept
on rags and straw. These hard
ships were endured until they be-
came u%nbearable and the girl took a
rifle and shot her father while lie
slept, killing him instantly. Before
bringing the boy and girl here Sher-
if Leedy was compelled to purchase
clothing for them, owing to their
destitute condition.
Bouts was a tie contractor, but it
is said drank up all his earnings.
At the time of the tragedy the moth
err and one O we're away from home
cutting railroad ties. The general
impression seems to be that the
british and degenerate father got
what be deserved.

PAY OF oLD-1IME ARCHITECTS
ancient Builders Received Small Re-
m~uncration, and Sometimes Death.

ancient Builders Received Small RE-
%muneration' and Sometimes Death.
From Architecture and Building: AS
near as we can discover, the architect
OF we olden time" did not receive for
MS services a very %exorbitant sum. Re-
Gently some members of the French
school at Delphi unearthed several
slabs OF marble bearing inscriptions Of
great interest, dating, as they do, from
the fourth century before Christ. The
inscriptions, which covered about 200
lines, give the price Of work for build
ing operations in Greece at the period
named, and from them we learn that
an architect was paid at the rate of $3.50
per annum or less. This was little
enough, surely, even If it's purchasing
power is multiplied, as 1t should be.
five or six times. Sir Christopher
Wren received for his services the mag
niicent sum of $1,000 a year for more
than twenty years while rebuilding
London! His head draughtsman re-
ceived about $500 per year, while assist
ants received from $50 to s125 per year.
French and German architects were not
even SO well paid at the same period.
Bad as this was. it was better than the
remuneration many of the older archi-
tests received, for in the far east. IL an
artist made q noble design, and erected
q building worthy OF admiration, his
chances Of being suddenly removed
by order OF the king were many. This
step was taken in order to prevent a
rival king from obtaining the services
OF an architect who might be able to
20 Improve his plans that a finer and
nobler building would be executed.

Memorial Day.

Memorial day has come and gone
and it was never mor fittinply OBJ
served in Rapid City than by the
exercises which formed it's observ-
ance here last Tuesday. The city
was in gala attire and the national
colors were displayed in pr~ofusion.
The days exercises took place in
the beautiful park at the court house,
the front porch of that structure
doing service as the speakers stand.
Emrick' s opera band discousred pa
triotic strains and appeared to very
good advantage. Mayor Chauncey
L.. Wood made a short address to
the assembled throng. He pictured
graphic lily the sacrifices of the vet
Grams who saved the union and
dwelt on the blessings and advan-
tages now enjoyed by the great
masses of people as a result of that
awful conflict. His remarks were
enthusiastically received and formed
an excellent feature in the exercises
of the day.
Hon. Edwin VanCise of Dead wood
was speaker of the day and his
speech was one of the most eloquent
and appropriate ever delivered in
Rapid City on such an occasion. He
paid a touching tribute to the heroes,
dead and living, who saved the re-
public in those dark days and dwelt
at length on those who responded
to the call to arms last year. He
pictured the ]southerner and the
hero OF the north facing Spanish bull
lets at Ell Caney, San Juan and San
tiago SIDE by side and stated that it
signifed a reunited people.
After the exercises ended at the
court yard the G.. A. r. veterans
and many citizens repaired to Noun
tain View cemetery and decorated
the graves of the soldier dead, this
act of gratitude and reverence for
the nations fallen defenders ending
the observance of the day

WHERE CANDLES FREEZE,

Unpleasant Experience.

Unpleasant Experience.
Talk about candles being worth
$3.50 apiece in Dawson; it's all wrong"
said Charles Way, at the depot yester-
day. Il wiT.ered on the west fork OF
Stewart river in '94 and '95 with a
party from Sitka. We went into win
Ter quarters early, having good pros
poets on a bar directly in front of our
log cabin. We had plenty of supplies
that we had hired the Indians to bring
IN 1or us via Dyea. Among other things
We mad a g"oss Of tallow candles.
Ihlngs went along nicely until Oct. %,
When at noon it began to grow cold.
You could feel it settle down. The
water IN the boxes wouldn't run more
than II feet without getting thick, so
we quit work and went into camp. We
loaded the stove up with birch wood,
ana somebody lighted a candle. It
burned all right for a minute or two,
then the light commenced to grow dim,
and to all appearances went out. 1
was surprised, upon examination, to
nnd that the wick was still burning,
out the ta1'ow was not melting. 1
watched the wick as it burned, the fire
ourylng itself right in the candle un-
I'll the wick was consumed clear down
10 the bottom melting a hole about the
size OF a lead pencil through the tai
low, u useless as a light, and we had
10 go to bed in the dark. Candles are
not worth s1.50 each when the weather
IS real cold, for they won't burn."--St.
Paul Globe.

 The delay in bringing prisoners and extra trouble has been csus q by the su-picious deputy .ho feared he would not get bis -hSre of the reward, ai- though every assurance nas gwen him thar he would be pretseteI in his ciaim.
