Obituary.

Nellie McBeath, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. McBeath, was born at Mill
port, Knox county, Mo-, August IL, 1857.
From there she moved with her parents
to Prophets Town, ILL.,. and in May, 1887,
came to the Black Hills. She was mar
ried to Morse Griffis April 10, 1893.
Four children were born to them, two
of whom have preceded her into the
Great Beyond. She leaves a father,
mother, husband and two children, the
youngest but Is days of age. The fun
eral was held from the Congregational
church, and the remains inferred in the
Custer cemetery at 8 o'clock p. m. Thurs.
day, June 18th, 1902, Rev. K. w. Powell
conducting the services.
In paying this last sad tribute to the
departed We desire to diyest ourself as
far as in our power, Of everything that is
coarse and unworthy, for we realize the
sacredness of the task as we come to bow
at the shrine of the true, the beautiful
and the good. In writing these lines we
feel that we are not called upon to give
expression to our own sentiments alone,
but to interpret in degree the thoughts
and feeling of those who knew and loved
her during all the years she lived on the
earth, and who now stand with fearful
eyes and wringing hands, and would fain
call her hack from the land to which her
spirit has taken flight. We knew her as
a girl dwelling with her parents on their
farm, and admired her in those days for
her loveliness of form and feature, but it
was more the admiration that the artist
feels when he stands before picture of
the madona, painted by one who was
master Of his art. We have said that
we knew her but we did not know her
in the strict sense Of the word. We did
not know the intrensic virtues of her
nature, which developed and shone
through all her married life. Her refine
ment of character, her devotion to her
husband and her wifely duties, her affec-
ton for her parents, and her kindly care
and tenderness towards all who came
within her atmosphere. 1t is by these
mate qualities of heart and soul that she
endeared herselfto all who knew her init
mately. 1t is by these her character was
recognized, and it was by these higher
and purer attributes of soul, made plain
by every word and action in every day
life that has caused every man, woman
and child who knew her to regard her
as lovely representative of the highest
type Of womankind. She did not know
that she was looked upon by so many as
a queen among her sex, as the violet
growing in its shaded nook, does not
know that it's fragrance is 30 sweet, and
the tints of its petals are the most deli.
cate of all the flowers of the field.
But what shall we say to those whose
hearts are rent asunder, and who are
PROSTATE under the blow which has fall
len upon them. In their desolation we
hear them ask "Why should our mother
nature be 80 cruel and unkind? Why
should the flower that bloomed in love.

forever when the sun goes down" To

all these questions we are dumb as the
OK before the mountain. We do not
know all the causes, the mysterious ways
of nature, and We can not even guess
their ultimate purpose. But we have
good reason to believe that when We
know more we will have perhaps less
occasion to find fault. Nature which
seemed yesterday 30 kind, and today so
cruel is perhaps neither kind nor cruel
but simply just. 1t seems ordained that
the human soul in order to attain high
er things and greater perfection, must
experience a greater or less degree Of
suffering. But to those who bear with
fortitude and resignedly pass under the
rod, she will in her own good time bring
q divine compensation. We have hor-
ror OF death because We see the form
we loved sink into the earth. But after
all when we bury loved one what do
we bury7 Nothing but the tenement Of
clay, nothing but worn out garment

the grave. She is mingling with those
who were waiting to receive her with
out stretched joyful hands, to bear her
to her home where all the surroundings
are in harmony with her nature. And
knowing that nature lets us rejoice to
think that hers must be one ofthe pleas
ATTEST Of homes, in land that is far
more bright and glorious than the one
she left behind, where we must linger to
toll and suffer until the day Of our de.
liyerance comes.
Let us not forget that our experiences
arc the souls wealth, and the human
spirit has no other, and like her whose
untimely departure we now regret, strive
to 80 live that when our time comes We
may be found sufficiently free from the
degrading tendencies of hate and re.
venge, and envy, and falsehood, Of sci.
fishness and greed, and Of hypocricy,
and deceit to 60 and dwell with her and
share with her that peace and Joy and
happiness which knows no bounds.
"Oh, mortal friends and brothers,
We are each aud all an others,
And the heart that gives most freely
From Its treasure hath the more,
Should you loose your life you find Ii,
And In giving love you bind IL,
Like an amulet of safety
To your hearts forever more"

WaRhinRfon Notes.

Representative Martin last week took
up with Director Roberts of the mint
bureau the question of notifications of
regulations relating to assaying of gold
at Deadwood, s. ID. An effort has been
made for some time to induce the OFF,
cials to permit of the assaying of gold Of
lower ratio than that called for in the
regulations. The purpose is to do way
with the expense and inconvenience of
sending the metal to private assayers
at large and far removed from the Black
Hills country. Director Roberts Is Of
the opinion that he has no authority to
modify the regulations except by act of
congress. He has directed Mr.. Martin
to secure additional information on the
subject and will make O final decision
when such data is received.
Senator Gamble of South Dakota also
introduced bill which provides for the
establishment Of Wind Cave National
Park in Custer county, South Dakota.
1t contemplates reserve of about 10, 900
acres and provides for the management
and control of the park on the part of
the government. The government owns
all the land contemplated to be taken
into the park excepting s20 acres. Re-
ports from the Interior department
strongly recommend the enactment of
this proposed legislation so that the gov

during the coming season and save 1t
from spoilation. The land has been in
spected and surveyed by the interior de-
partment as we'll as examined by the
geological survey, and both of these
recommend it for national purposes.

Fence. Mus. Como Down.

A deal of talk has been going ON for a
number Of years respecting the ille-
gitimate fencing of government land.
In fact moro or less the question has
been dissected and quartered in the
columns of the press as we'll. Large
bodies. however, move slowly, and with
extreme care; the ultimatum has been
at last received that fences on govern
ment land must be taken down.
Eyer since 1885 the law has been and
Is that it is unlawful TO fence or main
tain any obstruction whatsoever upon
the public domain, the infringement OF
this law being subject to fine and even
imprisonment. Notwithstanding this,
fences have dotted here and there pub
lie lands, covering from hundred to o
thousand acres or more under one fence
AS long as no comp, 1ts were furnished
government officials, no action was ever
taken in the matter, as the department
Of the interior was not coguizant of the
vast area rapidly being enclosed by
posts and wire. For years this condi-
ton of affairs has existed upon the
western prairies, but with increasing
population complaints have been filed
against these encroachments upon GOV
ernment land with the result that the
Department of the Interior haye issued
stringent orders to special agents in this
section Of the country, as well as all oyer
the United States where complaiuants
are found, to enforce the law. Despite
the fact the law provides that illegal
fencing is prohibited, nevertheless the
government, possibly on account Of the
vast number of fences now erected as
well as through courtesy to the persons
against whom such charges have been
filed, will serve such with sixty days
notice to remove their fences. If this
order is not complied with within that
time suit will be entered and such de-
linquent trespasssrs prosecuted by the
department.
The special agents in this section have
been notified regarding these fences but
on account of the great amount of work
connected with the forest reserve
homesteads, and working on cases OF
fraudulent enteries therein, to which
this order is subsequent, they have been
too busy to look into the matter at all
The abatement Of action, however, in
this matter is simply temporary. As
soon as the questions involved in the
forest reservation are all settled and got.
ten out of the way the special agents
now here intend to vigorously and vigil
antly inquire into the tracts of public
lands now surrounded with fences

Hot Weather Weakness.

Ifyou feel tagged out, listless and lack
ing in energy. you are perhaps suffering
from the debilitating effects of summer
weather. These symptoms indicate that
a tonic is needed that will create a
healthy appetite, make digestion perfect,
regulate the bowels and impart natural
activity to the liver. This, Herbine will
do; it is tonic, laxative and restorative.
