Unusual Olive Crop

The olive growers are ju5ilant over the largest crop in ;he history of the State. There may be as much as 500 tons. or equal to about $500 barrels of pickles. as against usual crop Of 2OO0 barrels. The rice usually runs about $60 per ton. but this year the growers expect to receive about siO. Even at this price. with the unusually large yield. the income will be much larger than usual.
 A prominent importer of olives iron the countrics about the Mediter- ranean Sea says that the consumption of this fruit Is increasing SO rapidly that three times as many olives are imported now as were n decade ago, and this in spite O. the large Increase in domestic production.

To Fund outstand,ns Indebtedness.

BY reference to another column Of the
CHRONICLE it will be seen that there is
to be submitted to the voters of Custer
county the question of whether or not
they will authorize the issue of bonds to
take up the outstanding warrants of the
county. This is question of consider
able importance and, like all questions
of Importance, should receive careful
consideration. Under the present con.
ditions the county is greatly handi.
capped, as it is doing business on paper
that is not bringing on the market but
fifty cents on the dollar, and does not
find ready sale ut all times even at
that greatly deprecated figure. This
condition has existed for a number Of
years, and spectators. where they have
availed themselves of the opportunity,
haye been reaping good harvest at the
expense Of the people of the county.
The county has been unable to buy it's
supplies at a price that it could have
done had it's warrants been at par, but
on the contrary has been paying twice
what it would otherwise have paid.
There is no hope that this state ofaffairs
can be materially changed until county
warrants are at par. 1t cannot be hoped
that with the present revenues that the
most hopeful anticipate, that the war
rants can be taken up within eight or
ten years, so that unless some radical
course is adopted, the county cannot
within that time get upon cash basis.
Under the present law as fast as money
is received into the general fund it must
be paid out upon warrants in the order
Of registration, the oldest registered to
be first paid. With the outstanding
warrants taken care Of the county would
be on cash basis.
The proposition is that bonds shall
not draw to exceed FIVE per cent. The
county commissioners will probably be
able to negotiate them at less rate than
five per cent. Outstanding warrants
draw seven per cent. 1t does not take
any demonstration to show that under
bonds the county is gamer in the rate
of interest. With the added benefit OF

Judge Mcaee an Expensive Luxury.

Il
It is quite noticeable in the present
campaign that the supporters of the pre-
tended democratic nominee wish now,
in view of the fact that the district is
republican, to remove the judiciary from
the plane of party politics to high and
lofty ideal, conceived by themselves and
intended for campaign purposes only.
Although in the recent election of su-
preme court judges, the official organs
howled infamy, corruption, imperialism,
corporations, ETC., II is stated now that
politics are very much out of place and
that it is in bad taste to conduct the
present campaign along the ordinary po-
litical lines. In fact the very suggestion
that their candidate is a partisan or has
any politics or political opinions seems
to strike terror to their hearts. Out OF
Difference to this sensitiveness, let us
take it for granted for the present that
Judge MCGEE is not partisan, that he
has no convictions. but is, as he at pres
ent appears to desire to be, "all things
to all men" This, We trust. will not
preclude glance at the records of the
court for the purpose Of ascertaining
how the peoples servant has been con-
Quoting their affairs. One of the larg-
est items Of expense to the people OF
the county is the item Of court expenses,
and on that account the conduct of the
fairs Of this Office is of great impor.
tance to the taxpayers as business
proposition. The November, 1900. term
of court opened on November IL, 1900
and adjourned on February l6. 1901.
During this term there were thirty We
days Of court, but fifteen cases tried, and
eleven days out Of the thirty-fve on
which absolutely no business was trans.
acted. The March, 1901. term opened
March s, 1901. and has not yet adjourn,
ed. During this term there have been
to date fifty.one days of court, but nine
cases tried, and thirty days out of the
fifty-one on which absolutely no busines
was transacted In the November, 1900
term the jury was discharged on Febru
ary l6, 1901, and in the March, 1901, term
the jury was discharged July s. From
the above it will appear that within the
past year there have been eighty-siz
days of court, and on forty-one of these
days there was absolutely no business
transacted. On each day of court
whether there is any business transact
ed or not, the taxpayers have the follow
ing bills to pay; Court stenographer
ten dollars; clerk, five dollars; sheriff
four dollars; bailiff, two dollars; and
when the jury has not been discharge !
the jury forty eight dollars. This is only
sixty nine dollars day. and it has only
cost $3.50 for these forty.one days O
court where there was no business trans
acted. That the trial of twenty.foul
cases should have cost the people of this
county so much money is an outrage
which they should resent.-Rapid City
Journal.

On appeals nine cases affirmed and
thirteen cases reversed by the supreme
court. i
AS trial court. Bowers twice convict
cd of grand larceny, the verdict prompt
ly set aside and prosecution forced to
accepted plea of guilty to petit larceny
and defendant fined 500, and county
paid costs exceeding $1,000, which the
statute requires the defendant to pay.
George Gould convicted Of petit lar
ceny, when he might have been i'm
prisoned 30 days and fined 500, and
statute requires that ne pay the costs;
was let off for $40, and the county again
paid the costs, with the explanation that
the boys father is friend of the court.
DR.. Grimm, Of Buffalo Gap, arranged
personally with the jndge for mini
mum sentence on an isdictment by the
grand jury, and never came into court
ut all.
Two cases ofrape where Tanner and
son were charged with rape upon girls
seven years Of age, were dismissed upon
technically over the objection of the
prosecution, and defendants released
without bond, although the court is en-
powered under the law to hold de-
PENDANTS for further proceedings.
In civil cases. Bostwick vs. Upton;
jury assessed damaged at $l74O, set
aside the verdict and placed damages at
$l.O0.
Held Gold Basin placer claim valid
on jury's verdict in Todd VS.. Carr case.
Held same claim invalid in case of Fran
els vs.. Todd, tried to the court without
a jury at the same term of court.
In case of Hughes vs.. Meeker decided
that holding ranch under placer title
is fraudulent and unlawful.
McGee has been constant officer
seeker. Elected three times, defeated
once, and run once when he expected to
get the Office of judge on technicality
and was beaten in the supreme court.
AS shown by supreme court decisions
is about 40 per cent right and 60 per
wrong.
AS trial judge has made farce OF
two verdicts of guilty Of grand larceny,
and huge joke of petit larceny. Has
dismissed on technicaity more criminal
cases than have been tried, and in civil
cases has decided every question In ev-
cry conceivable way.
The judge is personally nice fellow.
pleasant to meet, and in his endeavor to
please everybody, and to be personally
popular, has made the ludicrous record
above referred to.

burlington Road Changes Hands.

A special from Burlington, Ia, to
the Deadwood News says articles
Of incorporation Of the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy Railway Company
were filed in the county auditors Office
in that city Wednesday afternoon. The
capital stock of the new company is
$l00,OOO,O00 and its object as set forth in
the articles of incorporation, is to &C
quire the Burlington system and other
roads and to maintain railroad in the
states of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming.
South Dakota, Montana, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. The corporation began Oc-
tober Is, 1901, and will continue for fifty
years with the principal place Of business
at Burlington, La. The understanding is
that the new corporation is merely the
first step to put matters in shape for the
transfer of the property to the Morgan
Hill.Harriman syndicate. 1t is rumored
that this corporation will take charge of
the c. B. & @. and the many lines leased
and controlled by the company and
transfer them altogether to the Morgan
Hill Hartman syndicate.
This new corporation is legally entirely
separated from the G. B. & @. Compsn. .
The old company is incorporated under
the laws of Illinois, while the new one
is controlled by the laws of Iowa. There
is but one change in the name of the
company. The old is railroad COM
pany, the new railway company.

Accident In the Holy Terror Mime.

We regret to be compelled to chron-
icle the sad news which came to us over
the wire on Tuesday last from Keystone.
There was an accident at the
Holy Terror mine, the particulars of
which as near as we can gather them are
as follows: A gang of five men were at
work at the bottom Of the shaft which is
1900 feet deep. The air compressor
above, for some reason ceased to work,
which shut off the supply of fresh air.
The men were soon made aware Of this
and started to 60 out by climbing the
ladder. Two only reached the top where
they fell from exhaustion and the bad
air inhaled. Their resusitation was slow
and We learn that they and number of
others who went down to the rescue are
still sick in bed from the result Of their
experience. After the compressor was
again put in operation others descended
and it was found that the three men who
had been overcome were in the sump at
the bottom of the shaft in about 10 feet
of ofwater. They were dead. Their names
were Andrew Miller, Peter Pohlan and
Lou Crouter, who were regular employees
in the mine. The two miners who
reached the top were named Holstein
and Davis. The three men who met
their death, it is supposed were over
come by the gas and fell from the ladder
into the sump where their death was
FASTENED by drowning. We were not
acquainted with the man Miller and
Pollen, but Lou Crouter was resident
of Custer, where he has sister, Mrs. G.
Graham, and large circle of friends
and acauaintances who will miss him
and mourn his untimely death.
Crouter was young man of only 81
years of age. He, was a volunteer in the
Spanish war and served in the Phillip
pines with his company II" which went
from Custer. His parents are also resi-
dents of Custer, but at the time of the
accident were away on visit to their
old home in Canada.
1t is very rare in these days that we
are called upon to record an accident in
the mines ofa fatal character. This is
owing to the fact that the appliances
and mining machinery are far more per-
feet than they used to be, and the bust
ness is better understood. Who, if any
one, is to blame for this last fatal occur.
renee we have not learned, but We are
admonished by it that there is still room
for improvement, and in all mining
operations nothing should be left un-
done which makes for the safety of the
men, and constant care should be exer.
cised at all times.
The remains of Mr.. Crouter will be
brought to this city for interment. The
funeral services will be held from the
Congregational church this afternoon.

One Of the important amendments to
the election law of the state made by the
last legislature was that requiring a reg
istration of voters every year. The old
law simply provided for such registra
ton for the year 1899. The manner and
form in which registration WAS made was
not changed. The boards of registration
meet on the last Tuesday next preceding
the day of election at nine o'clock in the
forenoon and remain in session until six
