w. B. Clifton, who confessed to the
murder of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Church,
was taken out and lynched by a mob at
Newcastle on the night of the 26th Of
May. 1t will be remembered that Cliff
ton was brought to Custer some weeks
ego and kept in the Jail at this place for
some time. This was done to elude the
mob who would have lynched him atthe
time the crime was committed. He was
afterwards taken back to Newcastle
where he has paid the debt at the end OF
a hapgman's rope.

The train which was due in Custer at
4:35 Wednesday evening did not arrive
until half past six on Thursday morning.
We understand that the delay was caused
by an extensive washout of the track
for about three miles at some point down
the road neal Lincoln. The delay was
quite irksome to the passengers as well
as disappointing to those along the line
who failed to e ttheir mail on time. But
we do not know that we would be justi-
fed in blaming the railroad company
who probably are doing the best they
can, while the elemental strife all around
outside of the Hills for the last few days
has been something terrific.

country. Her descriptions are good and

that paper, and the further fact that il
was soiled.

There are many gigantic shemes in
the world to-day which are worthy and
lineal successors OF the plan for build
ing the tower OF Babel. Yet in an
age when so many wonders have been

assert that any of the vast projects
which haunt the imaginations of their
advocates are impossible Of accom-
plishment, or to prophesy for them
the fate which overlook the tower
building experiment on the plains of
Shina.
French engineers have declared that
it is perfectly feasible to convert the

opening to commerce great regions ol

Highest Wind Record.
Scientific American.

Point Reyes, an important United
States weather bureau and storm sig
nal station, located on the California
coast some thirty-five miles north OF
San Francisco, holds the worlds rec
ord for high, strong, continuous winds.
Last year Point Reyes captured this
honor from the weather stations of the
earth, and again this month (May)
has gone several notches higher on the
meteorological scale.
On May IS, 1902, the wind at Point
Reyes attained velocity of 102 miles
an hour, and for several minutes was
rushingl along at the furious rate OF
120 miles per hour. A fearful gale
lasted for three whole days, and at
one time the winds in a playful mood
ripped the cups from the thermometer.
This year, on May IA, the winds CON-
menced to blow again with the great.
est violence. For four days the veloc.
ity registered averaged more than sixty
miles miles an hour. For nine days
the average velocity was fifty.one
miles an hour. The total number of
miles recorded on the thermometer was
1928 miles. This is the highest We
locity of wind for the time on record
in the world.

A Couple We're Divorced and Then Married
Again After Long Separation.
"Who is that remarkably handsome
woman" asked Nathan Henderson, q
real estate speculator of 10 Central
Place, Brooklyn. He was speaking to
his hostess about a month ago at a re-
ception.
"That's Mrs. Hyer," replied the
hostess, and wish to present you to
her. She's widow"
So Mr.. Henderson was presented to
Mrs. John Hyer. He bowed low and
did not notice the flush that suffused
her face as she inquired:
"Did you say Nathan Hender-
sonf'"
The fact was that Mrs. Hyer was
none other than Henderson's former
wife, to whom he had been married
43 years before and from whom he had
been divorced 81 years. Although
we'll preserved, the widow was so diff
ferent at SO from what she had been
at %, when he had last seen her, all
unconscious that he was paying court
to his former wife.
He took advantage of the permis-
sion to call, and was amazed when he
was greeted as "Nap by his "new"
acquaintance. Explanations followed
and the elderly couple came to the
conclusion that their separation of

were married.

WALKING is GOOD FAD.
Mental and Physical Benefits That Come With
This Exercise.
Washington Post.

washington Post.
Truly this is day of fads, but none
80 sensible or beneficial as the walking
lad, which society in every degree has
now adopted" remarked a prominent
physician.
"There is nothing like the open air,
and people are now beginning to real.
ize this and live in it more and more
every day. There are always a num-
Der OF people who seem happiest when
they 60 about with long faces and sour
looks and are ever ready to tell you
in doleful tones that life is not worth
the living. If you will observe, these
are the people who wear heavy over.
shoes. wrap up to their eyes in wooden
clothing and buy variety of patent
medicines, much of which could be
dispensed with by suitable warm cloth
ing and a good, brisk walk, every day.
Walking is an ideal exercise, and
apart from the great benefit derived
from the action OF the muscles brought
into play by the movement OF the legs
and arms, the mind, too, is helped by
this wholesome practice.
"It is only natural to suppose that
the brain tires of monotonous sur
roundings, the same scenery, the
awful sameness OF things, all soon pals
upon one, and the result is frequently
fatal, certainly accountable to large
degree for many nervous disorders,
when the antidote for many of the 60
called ills could be found in a short
walk through pretty park. In walk
ing, the mind naturally becomes di-
verted and 60 interested in things other
than ones misfortunes, and at once
the attitude changes to one Of cheer.
Again walking is one of the greatest
stimulants OF thought. Take, for in
stance, our greatest thinkers, orators,
actors, in fact, all literary people. and
you will discover that they were and
those of to day are all great walkers.
In walking one gathers incident and
illustration fresh and full of actual de-
tail, and when the author or orator
pictures q thing in this living fashion
he Immediately carries conviction with
him, and 30 furnishes the secret OF his
success. While from physical stand
point there is nothing that will az
quickly induce free circulation of the
blood nor so effectually reduce flesh as
q good walk, and it is much safer than
starving, for not infrequently does
Mrs. Burden become Mrs. Gray through
the means of an unwise and unwhole-
some diet in her desire to obtain q
sylphlike figure. Walk in the fresh,
pure air, and breathe properly inhal-
ing the air through the nostrils that
the lungs may become filled and the
panacea will be found for many bodily
ills and vexations OF the day"
