rock ON Burlington.

A head on collision occurred on the
Burlington neaf Pluna shortly after
eight o'clock yesterday morning on
account ofa Misunderstanding of right
Of way, which resulted In the colliding
Of freight train No. 20S and the regular
Spearfish passenger train, there being
fourteen persons injured none are
thought to be seriously hurt. The mis-
understanding in the right of way was
due to the change of time card, which
gave the freight train the right Of way
in place of the Spearfish train as had
been the previous custom, and owing to
this, Conductor Tierney left as usual on
his run. The collision caused severe
shaking up Of the trainmen, but none
of them were injured TO any extent.
The Spearfish train had about sixty pas
sengers on board and those inj2red %ers
Immediately taken to the company's
physician, who attended to the injuries
G. NJ. Hardy, gentleman from Iowa
was injured to such an extent that he
was taken to the st. Joseph's hospital,
where everything possible was done to
alleviate his sufferings. His injuries
were in the chest, and while it is not
known how bad his injuries are, It is not
thought that they are ofaserious nature.
jamie Fowler, SON of J. W. Fowler, was
cut by flying window pane, as was
Beecher Highly, while there injuries are
painful they are not of any serious con-
sequence. Edward Cuthbertson was
covered with debris in the baggage car,
and had to remain in the uncomfortable
position until he was released by the
train men. His injuries were slight

We learn later that Mrs. VIM. Court
ney and three children were on the
Spearfish train, bound for a visit to e.
more. They were s1f BADLY shaken up,
but none of them seriously, and they
continued their journey. Mr.. Charles
Smith, son of George Smith, was also on
the train, and was somewhat cut by fly
fng glass, but is reported as not seriously
hurt.

SOUTH DAKOTA SCHOOL OF MIME

The Next Scholastic Year Will Begin
Wednesday, Sept. 10, 1908.
The last session of the legislature dealt
very literally with this institution. Not
only was the general maintenance very
much increased, but large special ap-
preparation was made for a building, q
power plant and the equipment of q
physical laboratory.
The new building will contain libra
ry and reading room, lecture room for
the department of geology and engineer
ing, a laboratory for geology and deter
minative mineralogy, a physical labora-
tory. two mechanical drawing rooms
and blueprint room.
The School of Mines has made great
a iyances within the past few years and
now draws students from every section
of the United States. To the people OF
the Black Hills it would call special at
tention to the following course of study
/. Mining Engineering Course.
2. Special Course in Assaying, Chem
istry, Mining and Metallurgy.
8. Preparatory Course.
4. English Commercial Course.
The Park Hotel, located near the
school building, is now used as dormi-
tory and boarding house for the students,
who pay only the actual cost offood and
rent. Mining students secure summer
work which enables them to meet most
of their expenses for the ensuing school
year.

Our County Roads.

Among the many things which pertain
to the convenience, comfort and benefit
of a community, and one which does not
receive as much consideration as its i'm
portance demands, is good county reads.
The late wet weather and heaSy rains
have washed the roads badly, have
created ruts, gullies and chuck holes
which render all the roads which reach
out from Custer in many places almost
impossible. OF course such things will
happen, but they should not be allowed
to continue for so long, and when they
do so continue from month to month
throughout the year it shows q lack of
attention on the part Of our county Off
GERS, who are held responsible for this
state of affairs. Sometimes it is hard to
ascertain where the blame rests. The
road supervisor will say, Il am ready to
work whenever get authority from the
county commissioners" while the com.
missioners will say, I'VE cannot do any
thing on the roads just now as there is
lack of money in the road fund" While
these may be plausible excuses on the
face it should not be considered suffi-
cient reason that our roads should re
main impossible. Ifthe appropriation is
not sufficient it should be increased. If
the levy is not sufficient the levy should
be increased. 1t is the worst possible
economy to force our ranchmen to travel
over these roads, making half time and
only pulling half load and even then
in constant danger Of break down.
They pay taxes to have the roads kept
in decent repair and they are entitled to
that much consideration at the hands of
the community at large.
1t is question too which largely con-
Germs our merchants, for there is nothing
which promotes the business of town
more than good roads. The farmer.
when ready to haul load of produce to
market, stops to consider to which town
he will 60. Ifit is Is miles to one town
over a good road and only 10 miles to
another town over bad road, he will
invariably take the longest road. 1t is
economy on his part to do this, as he
can haul twice as much and make the
long distance in less time. 1t is in this
way that the town which is naturally
entitled to that trade losses. Where the
farmer unloads there is where he loads
up; where he sells his produce there is
where he buys his supplies. So the
question of good roads becomes very i'm.
portant not only to ranehmen, but to the
merchant and to every citizen whose
business compels him to travel.

The Yacht Race.

The yacht race, which seems to be the
subject of greatest public interest just
now, is growing in intensity and the ex-
hibition of nautical skill, is witnessed by
thousands of enthusiastic spectators.
These races commenced 81 years ago by
q contest sail around the Isle of Wight,
which was won by the yacht America.
Since then many races have taken place
between England and the United States
but the Queens cup still remains in the
grip Of the Yankee skipper. There have
been many enterprising Englishmen
who have spared neither time nor ex-
pense to wrest the trophy from our
hands, but the most persistent one of all
is the present contestant, Sir Thomas
Upton. Though twice beaten he has
had new boat built each year and now
returns with Shamrock the Ill.," with
challenge for another trial. He will get
it, and we predict that he will loose, for
the Yankee has not been asleep, and our
new boat, the Reliance, has demonstrate
ed thus far that she is the better boat.
The first race which took place on the
Goth was failure, and was called off on
account of lack of wind, as neither boat
made the distance, 30 miles, within the
time limit, hours.
The second race took place on the 22nd
with a stiff breeze, and was won by the
American boat Reliance, which was a
mile and half ahead as she crossed the
line. Time, 3 hours, IL minutes and 40
seconds.
The third contest which was really the
second race, (as the first was called of
and no race) came off on the 25th, which,
without going into particulars, We will
state was won by the Reliance by the
very close margin of So seconds. This
was triangular race differing in that
respect from the race on the 22nd and
was more to the Shamrock's liking. The
time of the Reliance in the race on the
25th was hours, IA minutes and 81
seconds. A light wind prevailed and the
race was not fast one.

Chicago Mining Worlds Black Hills Edi
tinn

The Mining World, published in Chic
ago, issued Black Hills special edition
Aug. 18th which is an excellent paper.
1t gives cuts of most Of the towns in the
Hills, together with cuts of the different
reduction plants Of principal Importance
in the different mining districts 1t con-
tains good description of most of the
mines which are producing, but does not
pretend to enumerate or mention the
many hundreds of good mines which
have not yet reached in their develop
ment the producing stage. We must
commend it for the many articles Of
reading matter which are interesting and
instructive and we have but one fault to
find and that is with the picture which
is intended to represent Custer City. It
is miserable affair, and we had to look
long time before we could recognize
any feature or building which belonged
to the town. Neither the court house,
nor the school house, nor store is to be
seen, and the mountains of the Harvey
range which should furnish such splen-
did back ground are not in sight. 1t
must have been taken by some one who
had spite against the town, who was
seeking revenge for some fancied slight,
by selecting view point which would
only embrace the back part of few
shanties which are the relics of by gone
days, and which still cucumber the
ground down by the railroad. If the
representative Of the Mining World had
called at our Office, we could have shown
him true picture OF Custer which is as
far superior to the one he has as an
eagle is above q crow.

Lou Dillon. mare owned by Mr.. c.
K. Billings, on the morning of the oath
trotted one mile in 2 minutes fat. This
occurred on the track at Readville, Mass,
and breaks the worlds record which was
previously held by Creosus, whose best
time was minutes, 2t seconds. 1t has
been predicted by eminent horsemen
that the time of 2 minutes would yet be
made, and the driver of Lou Dillon says
she will beat that record as the condi-
tions were not good when she made it in
two minutes. Once again the female
takes the lead, and the best horse in the
world is mare.

of Memorable Fire.

Today is the forty-eighth anniversary
of fire which placed Grape on number
of doors in Alexandra and cast sable
mantle over the community for some
time. The fire occurred on November
IL. 1855 in what was then known as
James p. Smiths china store, though
the business at that time was being con-
Quoted by Messrs. Turner and Dowell.
The store stood on thehorth side of King
street. between Fairfax and Lee-the
premises now occupied by Mr. Henry
Baader. 1t was about midnight when
the fire was discovered by watchmen of
the city and an alarm sounded. The fire.
men responded and worked faithfully for
several hours and succeeded in getting
the flames under control, and we're pass
ing in and out of the building which was
steaming and smoking when, without
the slightest premonition, the west wall
tumbled down and buried under it eight
men-Messrs. George Plain, Robert Tay-
Tor, J. Carson Greene, John Roach,
David Appich, William Evans, James
Keene and John Dogan, the last-named
colored man. The first floor was car.
ried away by the heavy weight, and
bricks, mortar, splinters and the unfor-
tunate human beings were hurled in a
mass into the celIer, which having previ'
ousIy been half full of water sent up
clouds of steam and smoke. Six Of the
Inflated men were killed outright, and
one died after having been taken from
the debris. The only one out Of the eight
who escaped with his.life was Dogan, the
colored man, though he was cripple
from that time until his death few years
ago. The catastrophe occurred early on
a Saturday morning, and on the follow
ing Sunday afternoon the bodies Of five
of the victims headed the largest funeral
procession ever seen in Alexandria. The
entire city turned out and joined in the
procession. Bells were tolled, minute
guns fred, and other evidences of sor-
row shown. Subsequently handsome
monument was erected to their memory
in Ivy Hill cemetery, upon which the
names of the gallant men who died
in the discharge of their duty we're in
ecrihed

"Marta of the Lowlands. ,"

"Marta of the Lowlands," a play by
the Spanish dramatist Guimera, staged
under the personal direction OF Mrs.
Fiske, was presented at the Lafayette
Opera House in Washington last night
to large and representative Washing
ton audience, which included the
Spanish Minister and numerous men,
bers of the diplomatic corps and OF both
branches of Congress and a large num-
Der of newspaper correspondents. The
play made strong impression, and re-
peatedIy the effective dramatic scenes
were applauded to the echo. 1t was
carefully and pictorially staged, and
presented by a company whose acting
in many particulars is among the best
seen in Washington in several seasons
