suit for an Accounting.

p. B. McCarty of Rapid City has sued
the Holy Terror Mining company and
the John ]. Fayel estate for an account
ing. He has brought two suits, one
against the company and the other
against the estate.
A year or two ago McCarty won an
appealed suit in the supreme court, Civ
ing him an interest in the Holy Terror
mining property. II is alleged that the
Holy Terror company Is willing to give
Mccarthy the eighth interest awarded
him in the original Holy Terror claim
No. 2, but refuses to give him an inter-
est in the improvements made upon the
property, or in the Keystone property,
which was purchased by tie Holy Terror
company. McCarty claims that the i'm.
provements and the purchase were
made upon the proceeds from the pro.
ceeds of the original claim, and that he
is therefore entitled to an interest, in
not only the improvements, but also in
the Keystone property, and the suit is
for the purpose ofcorupelling an account
ing on the part Of the conpany.-Pio-

Judgment for the County.

The supreme court has handed down
a decision affirming the lower court in
the case Of Robt. A. Stewart against the
County of Custer. This is an action
brought by Mr.. Stewart to recover judg.
ment against the county upon general
fund county warrants or orders of the
defendant, which warrants are owned
and held by the plaintiff. About ,000
were involved. The case was tried in
the, circuit court last July and decided in
favor of the county. Mr.. Stewart ap
pealed to the supreme court and a deci
sion has just been handed down affirm
ing the decision of the lower court.
The general question was: "Had the
plaintiffs cause of action matured ?" Or
has the holder of general fund county
warrant, regularly issued, and for valid
consideration and legal claim against
the county, which WAS presented to the
proper paying officer of the county. and
payment thereof refused for want OF
funds, and due registration thereof for
payment been made, the right to main
tain an action on such warrants ?"
In the trial court the States attorney
contended that he had not, and in this
he was sustained by Judge McGee, who
held that as there were otner warrants
of prior registration which were not yet
paid, the plaintiffs cause of action had
not matured. That under such circum.
stances no suit would lie until
the county was guilty Of either failure
to levy taxes or a misappropriation ol
monies already collected.
The fact of the supreme court sustain
ing this point is Of considerable interest
to the tax payers of the county, and q
victory for States Attorney Smith.

The Southern Hills.

Pennington and Custer counties have
never looked so well from a mining
standpoint, and have never been able to
show such progress at the end of years
work. Sales have been numerous, and
a large number of big deals are under
way. Steps have been taken to develop
not only the gold in the section, but the
large number Of other metals and ele
ments that enter into commerce, includ.
ing marble. kaolln clay, mica, lithograph
stone, wolfram, spodumene and anti
mony. Good men are coming into the
section and are spending their money
with ENTERPRISE and judgment, to open
it up. There has been large degree of
activity in the Southern Hills, and many
properties that have stood idle SO long,
simply because OF lack Of attention are
going to be brought to the proper de-
gree of importance-Galena Star.

The Contest Case.

Judge Moore of the eighth circuit
opened court Thursday morning to hear
the contest case of F. J. V. Rutkowski
against VIM. III. Palmer, Jr.. for the
Office of clerk of courts. Upon the
opening OF court the contestant present.
ed an exporte motion for judgment by
default. This the defendant opposed on
the ground that the notice of contest
was sufficient. At the close of the ar
gument the court overruled the obiec-
tion f defendant, and held the registra-
ton law of 1899 unconstitutional, but
that irregularities alleged vitiated the
election in Hermosa precinct, that the
allegation of double marking of ballots
entitled the contestant to the office, and
that he was entitled to judgment in the
absence Of the answer. At that time the
defendant made application for permis-
sion to answer after time, which was
granted, upon terms that the defendant
pay the costs of the term, and the case
goes over to some date to be hereafter
fixed.

Nineteen Hundred.

With the old and dying year,
Another century passes by;
One OF progress and enlightenment
One OF sorrow and OF JOY
Many homes have been saddened,
In the old departing year;
by the messenger of death,
That Is ever lurking near.
Many hearts that were gladdened,
In the year so fastly ending;
Will be weighted down with sorrow.
In the century soon begging;
On some you have cast sunshine,
To brighten many ways;
But on others east cloud,
To darken many days.
Life to some has been mockery,
With sad thoughts to entertain;
That we wish to be forgotten,
But forgetting is in yain
Old year and old century,
Your race In life Is ending fast;
Farewell, old year and century,
You are numbered with the past.

SOME WHY'S ANSWERED.
The Ancient and Curious Origin of Fa-
 miiiar Customs.

miiiar Customs.
 It is not surprising what a number of little things we do without knowing the reason. Why, for instance. do widows wear caps? Perhaps they may say because they make them look pretty and interesting. But the reai reason is that when the Romans were in England they shaved their heads as a sign of mourning Of course a woman couldn't let herself be seen with bald head, so she made herself a pretty cap. And now though the necessity of wear ing it has passed away, the cap re- mains Why do we have bows on the left side of our hats? In Olden times, when men were much in the open air and hats couldn't be bought for half a dollar, it was the habit to tic cord around the crown and let the ends fall on the left side to be grasped on the arising of a squall. They fell on the left side so they might be grasped oY the left hand, the right usually being more usefully engaged Later on, the ends got to be tied in bow, and later still, they became useless yet the bow has remained, and will probably re- main till the next deluge or something of that sort. What IS the meaning or the crosses or Ks on barrel of beer? They signify degrees of quality noWa- days But originally they were put on by those ancient monks as sort or trademark They Were crosses in those days, and meant sort of oath on the cross, sworn by the manufacturer that his barrel contained good liquor Why are bells toled for the dead? This has become so familiar practice that funeral without would appear un" Christian. Yet the reason is quite bar. barous. Bells were tolled long age, when peopleWere being buried,in order to frighten away the evil spirits Who lived in the air. Why do fair ladies , break bottle of vine on the ship they are christening? Merely another sur. eiv.;} of bafbaric custom. In the days of sacrifice to the gods it was custom ary to get some poor victim when boat was being launched and to cut his throat over the brow, so that his blood baptized it. Why are dignitaries deafened by salute when they visit foreign port? It seems a curious sort of welcome, this f'.ng off of guns, but 1t seems the cust om arose in very reasonable way Originally, a town or a Warship fired off their guns on the approach of important and friendly strangers to show that they had Snck faith in the visitors peaceful inten- tions they didn't think it necessary to keep their guns loaded. Why do we sometimes throw shoe after bride? The reason is not very mplimentary. From of old it has been the habit of mothers to chastise their children with shoe. Hence the custom arose of the father of bride making a present to the bridegroom of shoe, as sign that it was to be his right to keep her in order.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

 few years ago." said a New Or learS Bohemian, T dropped in to see my friend Lee Yip, who keeps what he calls a 'glocely stol which is as near as he can come to grocery store. He gave me an excellent cigar and pres- ently he said: You Hkee dly ostel"
 What in the name of Conrucius is Gly ostel?' 1 asked before I realized that he was talking about dried oys- :efs. Come! l show, he replied; and opening the lid of big box, he took out handful of what looked exactly like oysters carved in mahogany. They were not shriveled and warped, like other dried foods. but were as plump s,nd symmetrical as any well-condi- toned blvalve fresh from the deep sea. The only difference was that they were dark brown in color and as tard as bricks. When Lee Yip tossed them back into the box they rattled like handful of marbles. Of course,
 . eft took pains to find out al. about them. The oysters are caught and prepared at the big native shrimper- ies on the other side of the lake. Tbe process is a trade secret but as nearly -s l could gather from Lee they are spread on the tops of large sheds and exposed to the sun for several weeks What prevents decomposition l do not know, for they come out of the opera ton as sweet and brown as nuts. Last night tried some by special invitation n the backroom of laundry run by enother Mongolian friend of mine They were brought in in buwl and formed sort of stew or saute, which Was really delicious. The oysters themselves were ,rm but exceedingly tender, and had a peculiar peppery flavor. differing from anything else I ever tasted. The Chinaman who did the cooking told me he had simply boiled the dried oysters in water and ada ed small strip of pork and season ing When tried to probe into the seasoning feature he suddenly lost command of English, so there. l sus- pect, the secret resides. am told chat the local colony consumes many barrels of these oysters every month, and that large quantities of them are sold an San Francisco and Nov Yor& Nov Qy]sAns T1RaropsqoeJaE VI

 AS many people are aware, the Bon Marche, one of the greatest emporinms of Paris, was the life work of a wom- an, the justly famous Mme Boucicsult, and it was literally the frs. emporium Of the Kinu ever seen. Nine. Rouc1- cault was woman possessed of great heart as well as of great brain, and her business owed not little of it's monetary success to the fact that 1t was conducted by her on really CO., operative principles. It is said that each of her shopmen and shopwomen, as we'll. of course, as all those con- cerned with the purely clerical side of The business, was admitted by her to share in the profits. Not content with doing :his, she further estab- lished in connection with her employees homes of rest. holiday homes, hos oital and ar annuity fund; and at her death 1t was found that she had di-

 When we read of court functions In foreign lands we notice that prece- dence is thing determined by arbi- trary laws, and should we spend a season in Washington we would learn that there are certain conventional rules which govern society, and which cannot be violated by any one, from the lowest to the highest, says Good Housekeeping Precedence is an an- omaly in the simple life of the ordi- nary home, yet it is an open question whether the cheerful contentment of the simplest household would not be increased if there were more formality in the daily intercourse of parents and children. PoliteneSs would prevent much friction, for it Is inconsistent with politeness to squabble, 10 say dis greeable things, to be brutally candid. Perhaps we do not half consider how 5auch politeness saves us from as we 70 about among our friends. In home

Hope springs eternal in the breasts
OF many Missionaries, who imagine
that they may get possession some
day of enormous estates in England.
The latest delusion Of that sort is
inspired by a ridiculous fable to the
effect that in the British Court OF
Chancery property amounting in value
to more than S2OO,OOO,OOO is awaiting
proofs. of descent to be submitted by
American heirs, who base their claims
on lineage going back to an English
ancestor dead some two hundred
