Death of Judge Rainier.

Mrs. J. II. Bostwick, of Oreville, last
week received the sad news ofthe death
of her father. John Henry Rainier,
which occurred at Taylor, Loup county.
Nebraska, August 4th, 1901. Mr.. Rainier
was n years and six days old at the
time of his desth. q.
J. III. Rainier was born in Allegany
county. New York, on July Goth, 1924,
and was married to Chrrissa Jane Cliff
ford on July 9th, lS4s, who was born in
Ohio, March Is, 1925, making fifty-three
years of unbroken married life. Ten
children were born to them-six sons
and four daughters--all living except
one SON. Four sons and two daughters
were at his bedside when he bfeathe8
his last, and there are twenty-five grand
children and one great grand child. He
served four terms as county judge of
Loup county, Nebraska.
The following, taken from the Taylor
Clarion, shows the high estimation do
ceased was held in the community In
which he resided:
Judge Rainier was man Of exem-
platy life kind and gentle in nature
and temperate in all things, he conserved
the vital forces 80 as to reach a ripe old
age full of yigor, with his full powers un-
impaired to the very close of his long
career, honored and respected by all.
The latch-stfing of his home was always
out and the needy never applied in vain
to him. Some estimate Of the regard in
which he was held in this community
can be made, when we mention that the
attendance at the funeral was the largest
ever held in this county the seating ca
pacfty Of the church was altogether in!
adequate, anc in fact, the number pres
ent was fully as large as Usually turn out

pid City and disbarment proceedings
have been instituted. to be heard at the

with his practice before the land Office.
They allege subornation of perjury, OF
threatening the lives of government
officials in the discharge Of their duty, Of
securing illegal homestead entries, and
other improper conduct.
The matter is creating something of q
gepsation among those who are fanf-
liar with the case. and tie trial on dis

Institute Notas.

The following additional names were
enrolled Monday morning:
Villa Ross, Emma katsGh, Katherine
w. Powell, Lora o. Smith, Mrs. Louis
Duhamel, Grace McFaddeh, Myrtle
Pringle, Mrs. Pauline Olds, Mrs. James
Clark, L L. Morphy, Alice Montgomery.
Mrs. s. g. Lummis, Mrs. ]. F. Smith,
Miss Edith zalesky, Mrs. w. r. Bond,
Carl Tubbs, Spencer Bond.
State Superintendent Collins was a
visitor during the Monday morning ses.
sion of the institute, and gave the teach
ers most practical and inspiring talk. /.
His observation as to the relative i'm
portance Of reading. during the earlier
years of the school life wers especially
suggestive, and it i'd 10 be regretted that
a large audience was not ptssent to be
edited by his eloquent emphasis upon
the value of our best literature. The
hearty applause as the superintendent
closed his remarks bear evidence of the
appreciation with which they were re.
ceived.
w. E. Benedict, bur state representa-.
tive, addressed this institute on the sub:
ject. "The Modus 6perandi of Law" His
remarks gave the teachers an insight in
to the intricacies of the law not to be
gained by the p6rusal of ordinary text
books. 1t was an interesting talk and
was listened to attentively.
Visitors to the institute cannot fail to
be impressed by the admirably thorough
nature of the instruction being given
the teachers. That in psychology es.
pecially merits public attention by rea-
son of its general Utility and admissible
tlearness.
TO much praise cannot be given Miss
Whites methods with the tiny folk.
Custer county has been fortunate in
having these instructors IN the institute.

sumed shortly.
The Mystic electric cyanide plant has
been increased to 100 tons daily capa-
city. The plant will start up in few
days.
Ford Mclaughlin has disposed OF his
interest in the Saginaw Gold Mining
company to L. P. Woodbury., president,
and B. R. Noble, vice president Of the
company. 1t is the intention of the
company to now push development
work very rapidly. and with that end in
view night shift was put on last Thurs

A rich strike Of free milling gold ore
Is reported at the standard group about
one and one half miles northeast of
Rockford. The vein at the surface is
said to be ~ feet wide and at depth of
10 feet it is increasing in width, and the
ore said to be getting richer in value as
depth is attained. The property is own
ed by L. M. Kerney and associates.
WHERE PATENT rs VOID.
Where an agricultural or railroad
patent has issued to tract of land which,
at the time the land was filed on or the
grant attached, was known to contain a
lode Of valuable mineral, the patent
does not take the lode and it remains
locatable. The limit Of width of side
ground that could be taken by location
would seem to be only twenty-five feet
on each side of the center line of the
lode. The patent obtained under such
conditions would haye been based on
fraud and void as to the lode. which
should haye been excluded from the
patent by segregated survey.-Mining
and Scientific Press.
THE GERTIE TIN NINE.
1t is rumored that the we'll known
Gertie tin mine nerr Hill City will be
started up in the near future. Mr.. Z. q
Johnson, who secured title to the prop
erty some time ago, is now in Chicago,
where it is said he has organized the
Gertie Mining and Milling Co., decided
the mine over to the company, and has
already sold enough stock to insure the
building of small mill, If not one of
100 tons daily capacity. 1t is further
stated that the mine is developed more
than enough to warrant the erection of
large mill as there is already over
100000 worth of tin and gold ore in
sight blocked out for depth of APO feet.
The tin and gold veins are each about
fye feet in width. The tin vein will
average three and one half per cent
metallic tin, or about $lS per ton Of rock,
according to the report made just before
the shut down by Capt. Josiah Thomas,
of the Dolcoath tin mine at Cornwall,
England. The gold vein Is free milling
and will average $s gold per ton which
should easily yield net profit of SIS per
ton. The Gertie group comprises eight
other claims surrounding the mine, a
total of about 160 acres.

ANARCHIsTIC RECRUIT
RUN OUT OF STEVENS
Private Styles Was Unpatriotic and the
Boys in Blue Handled Him
Without Gloves

Recently one Of the new recruits at
Fort stevens developed anarchistic ten
iencies, and the affair caused quite
sensation at the post. The man. whose
name is Styles, made uncomplimentary
remarks about the late president, which
We're at frs, regarded by the other men
as facetiously intended. While the SOL
diers did not consider the subject a ft
one about which to joke. they paid
no attention to Styles, until the man
delivered a red-hot anarchist address.
He said ne had no sympathy for the
murdered president. and expressed the
belief that Czolgosz did right in strik-
ing down the nations executive head.
No sooner had be voiced this brutal SEN
timent than the true boys in blue
pounced upon him. and Styles treat
ment will probably not soon be for
gotten by him, He was given two hours
in which to depart from the post, the
other men threatening to give him a
coat Of tar and feathers II he was found
within the fortifications thereafter.
STYLES left Immediately and has not
since been seen around Stevens. The
man Is a foreigner

The poor tug boat service at the

complaint among those engaged in the
shipping business and. unless condi-
tions now prevailing are bettered. the
business OF the port win suffer. The
pilot and river services are excellent.
