Shower and Reception.

The shower and reception rendered
Rev. o. w. Butterfield and wife at the
Methodist church Saturday evening,
was a red letter event for both the
pastor and the church society.
The shower consists of articles which
largely absorb the attention of begin
ners at housekeeping. Addresses of
welcome were delivered by Rev. j. S.
Butt, r. r. Reynolds and Mrs. Fritchie
and response by Mr. Butterfeld.
A nice musical and elocutionary pro-
gram was rendered, and every detail
was of nature to leave lasting i'm
preston on the minds of those present.
Rev. Butterfeld was assigned to Gro
ton for the present conference year, at
the end OF which time he expects to
return to school to finish his theologi-
cal course.-Groton Independent.
In a letter to Mr. and Mrs. King,
parents of Mrs. Butterfeld, the latter
writes very Interestingly concerning
the reception. The presents given
them amounted to over 500 in
value, including furniture, dishes
and many needful household goods.

Newspapers Trying the Case.

The STAR last week had local item
concerning the trial by jury of Jack
German at Custer, and stated that the
jury stood IL to l for conviction and
that he would be tried again and in
the meantime would probably languish
in Jail. These we're the facts as the
reporter heard them. But the follow
ing communication from Custer, under
date of Oct. 25, corrects that report:
"The jury in the German case stood
8 for acquittal and for conviction.
This is evidenced by an affidavit of one
of the jurors on file in the matter of
the application for bail. The bail was
fixed at 3 p. NJ, and furnished before
supper time on the same day. The
bail was fixed at $4,000 and the bonds.
men justified before the court in $500.
Somebody seems to be still trying this
case in the papers. Yours truly,

TO BLACK HILLS VOTERS.
Brief Statementby Geo. v. Ayres, Vice

Brief Statementby Geo. v. Ayres, Vice.
Chairman Central Committee
Have you ever stopped to reflect that
every state and National institution
located IN the Black Hills was secured
for you by republican legislatures aud
republican congressman? The state
school of mines at Rapid City, soldiers
home at Hot Springs, and the Nor
NAL school at Spearfish we're all repub-
lican measures passed by republican
legislatures. The appropriations for
the Spearfish fish hatchery, the Dead
wood public building, the military
post at Fort Meade, the Rapid City
Indian school and the National Sani-
tarium at Hot Springs we're secured
by your republican congressional dele
CATION, passed by republican con-
gress and signed by republican pres
ident. 3 x
Last, but not least, is the appropria-
ton of ol1O,OUU for the national sani.
tarium at Hot Springs, which will be
the making of that town and great
advantage to the whole state.
The total appropriations amount to
grand total of 1000 to be expended
in the Hills during the next two years,
and in addition to this appropriations
will have be made to pay the running
expenses of these institutions. Now,
this large expenditure, which was
brought about by our republican
representatives in congress can
not but benefit all sections of the
Black Hills, and we want every reason

and then decide whether or not he
does not owe his vote to the republi-
can party this year. In addition to
this it is conceded by every one that
the next state legislature will be over
whelmingly republican, and in order to
secure the proper appropriations for
our state institutions it will be neces-
sarry to send republican representa-
tives to the state legislature, for the
reason that democratic representatives
will not receive the same recognition
as member of the dominant party
and will have little if any influence in
promoting and carrying through leg
| islative measures next winter.

In the arid lands of central Asia the
air is reported as often laden with
fine detritus, which drifts like snow
around conspicuous objects and tends
to bury them in dust drift. Even
when there is no apparent wind the air
is described as thick With fine dust,
and yellow sediment covers every
thing. In IIhotan this dust sometimes
so obscures the sun that at midday
one cannot see to read fine print with
