Since su~nbonnets are IN again. the little
costumes which will accompany them for
country wear are often made OF gaiIy

their big stin roses and trellised vines have
a milkmaid charm, and when the frocks
are covered by frilled white aprons, as
they often are, the country suggestion is
intensified.

REGISTER at once came to upon ex-
animation OF the body Immediately
after death, The body of Mr.. Davis
rested on the floor in such a position
as would indicate that he was standing
at the side Of the large engine when
stricken down. The Only marks on
his hands were few scratches and a
slight burn on the right little finger
also a small cut. These were no doubt
made by catching hold Of the belt and
engine with each hand when he fell.
Had he received shock Of electricity

would have been terribly burned and

Consolidation of Best Mining Prop
critics in Black Hills

Col. II. G. Orr has just returned
from an inspection of this property
and has decided that it is worth his
while to accept a position as saleman
for the stock Of the company The
Reliance Gold Company, Of DeadNood'
i, the creation of ). l.. Olson, Of
Minneapolis, well known throughout
the northwest 10y reason OF the large
mercantile business he conducted IN
that city for third of century.
He has the reputation Of being d
thorough business man, district lnteg-
rity, and has placed several hundred
thousand dollars in the proposition III
order to show prospective stock buy
ers that an investment in the stock OF
the company will be safe, and one that
will provide perpetual income.
The REGISTER has confidence In the
integrity OF Mr. Orr and we feel salts
fed that he would not undertake 70
"do" his friends on a proposition OF TINS
kind. He has an acquaintance with
Mr.. Olson extending back 10 the time
when they were young men together
and after a careful and pdinstakine
investigation Of the companys proper
ties in the Black Hills is prepared tc
recommend the stock TO his friends.
TIE consolidation includes the
Wagner, University, DrcXel, Gault
Maggie, South Dakota, "DaVier," anc
Bunker Hlll groups and the Monitor
properties, making altogether a valu
able collection.
A mill is now being erected and it il
expected that the company will com
mence paying dividends in about five
months.

On Tuesday the vacuum pump was
set at work and that evening exhaust
steam from the large engine was used
to heat the building with satisfactory
results.
The main is now being extended
along Williams street and with good
weather the entire system will be in
working order and we believe it will
prove such a grand success that by
another fall the more important build
ings will be heated by central steam
heat.
The buildings which have applied
for steam are the New Century block,
, Farmers National bank and pOstotlice
block, The Bank OF Brookings, Hyde
Harris block, REGISTER office and
the telephone building.
