An important Case Settled.

The decision handed down by the
supreme court Wednesday in the case of
Kane ys. Hughes county settles an i'm
portant point of interest to county
boards. In this particular case the
board Of county commissioners had or
dered warrants for payment ofadver-
tiging the delinquent tax list drawn
upon the advertising fund.-" fund
ordered created by setting aside collec-
tions from redemption oftax certificates
or that part charged to advertising.
This fund would never liquidats the
warrants drawn upon it, and in the
opinion handed down the court holds
that warrants for payment of this work
must be drawn upon the general fund.
The decision does entirely away with
the right Of the commissioners to create
special funds not explicitly provided for
by the law, and in order to have tax col:
lections legal it would be well for all
county boards to take notice that pre-
cedent has been established by the
higher tribunal in the state doing away
with all power I'd issue warrants except
on the regular funds known to the law.
In the case decided the board is direct
ed to issus general fund warrant for
the warrants in suit.-State Register.

where the early Christians used to live.
They lived here because it was the only
place they could hide themselves from
the heathens who would have tortured
and put them to death could they have
found them. But they could not fnd
the entrance, so the Christians were
safe here. They lived here, their child
rem were born and buried here. Tomb
after tomb are made in the side Of the
walls. There 10 one place where there
are as many as sixteen tonabs one above
the other. Oh the horror Of the place.
The dark, gloomy, damp walls, with no
light except that of candle, fills ones
soul with terror as you think OF the
human beings VIII had lived there.
Saint Cecilia lived here and was buried
here, but her bones have been taken
away and placed in one ofthe churches.
But her tomb is still there. There are
several skeletons exposed. but one was

them, but don't believe 1 could to have

and thinking Of this horror. After
leaving this place we drove about four
miles out to the Appican Way which is
mentioned in the Bible whore Paul

is on this way. 1t was about three hun

The gist of the decision of the U. s..
supreme court in the South Dakota
railroad rate case is favorable to the
state law and to the action of the rail
way commission in fixing rates provid-
ing the rates fixed are fair and reason
able. This ought not to be objected to.
The court directs that master be ap
pointed by the lower court who shall
investigate the matter and if the rates
fixed by the railroad commissioners are
found to be reasonable they will stand.
The law is virtually declared valid and
the authority ofthe railway commission
conceded.

One of the leading populists of the
state, while in Pierre recently, in dis
cussing the political situation said: The
fusion forces Of the state are not in the
best of shape just now. The old line
pops feel they have been tricked out Of
their party, and carried ovsf in the
Democratic camp, and are not at all en-
thusisstic. The old lire democrats are
just as certain that they have been de.
livered oyer to the pops, and as result
fusion has no great chains to any of
them. That is the situation just now
but the heat of the coming campaign
may be sufficient to fuse them together
again."

Mining Items.

The shaft on tn Grand Junction mine
has reached depth of 100 feet, and the
ore Is said to he ~ IN srcsllent grade.
Cross-cutting the vein was commenced
on Friday OF last wsek and will be push
ed with all possible rapidity.
A blind ledge has recently been dis
covered at Chilcoot, eight miles east Of
Custer, at depth of about fifteen feet.
The ledge is twenty inches wide. and
assays from 5000 to $500 to the ton Of
ore. The discovery Was made by Mr..
H. G. Wise and A. L Parrish, two old
time prospectors in the camp.
A rich strike is reported in the Bear
Gulch mining district, about twenty five
miles northwest from Deadwood. The
ore is said to be free milling, and ssti-
mates place the value way up into the
thousands per ton in gold. A stampede
has been or the past week by old min.
ers and prospsctors Of the northern
Hills.
A rumor was circulated on the streets
of Custer during the week, to the effect
that the Holy Terror Mining company
at keystone had struck a body or ore on
the 700 foot level Is feet wide, 10 feet
Of which is said to average $4,000
per ton. 1t is also stated that the COM
pany will add twenty more stamps to

largely increase the output OF the Holy
Terror and Keystone mines, which last
year amounted to nearly 81, 100000.
THE CLARA BELLE.
This mile is situated near Oreyille
and is the property Of Mr.. Frank He
bert, who has owned 1t for over fifteen
years. The mine has been opened in
several places, but the main pay shoe,
was only determined last yeaf while
doing development work. Mr.. Hebert
has now two men employed sinking
and 1t is thought that the main vein
will be reached in few days, as string
ers of quartz have lately been encount
cred in the shaft. The vein, or ore
shoot, is an extension of the st. Elmo
mine, and it was only when the st. Elmo
company reached the north line of the
Clara Belle that they were obliged tc
shut down their mill last fall for wan
of paying ore. The shaft that ia beinl
sunk Is in a direct line about 100 fee

had been very few changes in the meth
ods of producing gold up to three year.
ago, there have been quite marked
changes in this direction during tina
period, chief among these being the re
cent development in placer mining b,
means Of the shovel or dredge. During
this time the cyanide and chlorinatiol
processes haYe also become better un
derstood and their usefulness greatly in
creased. Mr.. Chance says that ther,
are three or four new processes, two o
which are electrolytic, that are rapid,

My DEAR GRANDMOTHER:

Well, Monday, Christmas day, we went
to see the church Ara Cosli This is q
very old church. 1t contains the Bam-
bino of which 1 will send a picture.
This Bsmbino is wooden doll made Of
olive wood, and represents the Christ
child. We went TO see some old ruins,
remnants of faded glory. Old temples
and churches, tombs, and prisons who
tell the story of the time before Christ.
We also got fine view of the Palatine
hill where Constine, Julius Ceasar and
Nero. and all the great Roman emperors
haye lisbd. There is nothing much left
now but old brick walls which were
once covered with marble. Leaving the
old ruins we went to see the Mamerline
prison where st. Paul and ST. Peter were
imprisoned. On the side OF the wall
is an impression of face which is said
to be that Of st. Peters where he laid
his head against the wall. The old
pillar that they were chained to is still
there. They had two cells, one for
Peter and one for Paul. One was aboye
the ether, as the prison is underground
There were no steps between, but there
was hole in the floor of the upper cell
and they were let up and down through
this hole with cord. In the lower
prison is the miraculous spring that
Peter prayed to spring up SO he could
baptlse the jailor. 1t is said to be the
best water in Rome. From the prison
there is door that opens into an aque
duct that leads to the Tiger River. Also
in this prison is the place Of strangliuR

which is known to occur in silicious
