pox, which aggravated other trou-
bles and caused her death. She was
laid to rest in Mountain View ceme
terry during the afternoon. Deceas-
ed leaves three sons to mourn her
death. She had been a resident of
Rapid City for the past three years,

T. J. Griggs of Keystone, of one
the writer's comrades in the woes
and sorrows of politics, ex-fish COM
missioner, late candidate for the
South Dakota legislature, and val.
liant defender of Hon. Jerry Green,
was welcome caller on The UNION
Wednesday, looking as hale and
hearty as he did before the republi-
can snowstorm of last November.
He still insists that, like little Dayy
Hill, he sis a democrat" Mr..
Griggs states that mining matters
in the Keystone district are going
ahead nicely, capital is coming in
and the outlook for the future is en-
couraging. Few Keystone men
have more warm friends down here
at the hub than Thomas J. Griggs
and The UNION is always glad TO
see him come to town.
S. E. Young, late of this city, was
offered the SUPPLEMENTARY of the
state industrial school at Plankin-
ton as his slice of political pie for
his return to the ''grand old par
tee. Strange as it may seem, Mr..
Young declined the proffered re-
ward. Here's tip for our genial
governor: There's lot of hungry
republicans out this way who were
disappointed in not getting the late
job at the local land Office and who
would like two years whack at
the reform school. This tip don't
cost the governor cent.

last Saturday night, canvassed the
returns Of last weeks election and
paid batch Of election bills, includ.
ling two bills for the publication of
the notice of election in two of the
three city papers. Just why this
notice was not furnished to all three
OF the city papers instead of but
two is aquery that has been put to
the writer by several people. Still,
there is nothing very mysterious
about the matter.
