WEDDING ANNIvERsARY. The tenth an
niversary of the marriage of Rev. and Mrs
E. Judson Hatch was observed at the home
of this worthy couple at the Kingdom, Mont
vile, July I'd. A goodly number of invited
guests were present. Some were not pres
ent by reason of sickness and other I'M
avoidable causes, but most of them sent
regrets and presents. Mr.. and Mrs. Hatch
were dressed in their wedding suits of ten
years ago, and they exhibited presents re-
ceived on that occasion and on their fifth
anniversary; also family heirlooms more
than century old. They were the reeipi-
ents of many valuable and useful presents.
The tables were set with dishes and silver
ware received at their wedding ten years
ago and were spread with an abundance of
most excellent food prepared by the host
ess, and finer samples of pastry cooking are
seldom seen. The company broke up at a
late hour, all expressing themselves as
highly delighted with the splendid manner
in which they had been entertained and
with the hope that when the anniversary
comes around all may be there to see.
Down THE BAY IN THE CAsTINE. How
it did rain in the early morning Of the Sd !
At s o'clock it was still raining and at there
was shower with strong northerly wind.
The Castine, advertised to leave Lewis wharf
at $50 for Crescent Beach, was not then in
sight and it looked as though the excursion
was to be given up. The circus trains and
the Castine, the latter from 1slesboro, ar
rived about the same time and of the crowd
assembled to witness the unloading of cars
between 80 and 40 elected to spend day on
the water with shore dinner at intermis-
sion. AS soon as the Castine was headed
down the bay, with fair wind, the weather
moderated and OvercOats, etc., were laid
aside and were not needed again on the
trip. A stop was made at Camden to land
passenger and then the Castine was head
ed for Crescent Beach. In Camden harbor
was the schooner yacht Speranza, Captain
Scott, and the new steam yacht of Mr.. Cur
tbs of the Curtis Publishing Co. of Philadel-
phia, with the usual local feet and num-
Der of visiting yachts. About an hour and
half was spent at Crescent Beach, where
the usual shore dinner was partaken of, and
at 8 O'Clock the Castine started on the re-
turn trip, arriving at Belfast at $50. A call
was made at Camden and the steamer had a
head wind and head tide to contend with
in coming up the bay. The day was per-
feet one, the air clear, the shore scenery a
its best, and everybody on board the Cas-
tine had good time.

During 1908 the old line fire insur-
ance companies of the state received
premiums on South Dakota business
amounting to $677, ,5l4.Sl and paid losses
aggregating $251 $4,000. This leaves a
balance of $4l5,963 to cover the expenses
and to 60 into the profit fund. One
would think that in view of these fig
ures the companies might easily cut the
rate to South Dakota insurers wit hout
any serious danger of being compelled
to do business at less than reasonable
profit. There are few business institu-
tions in the state which can make pro-
fit of so per cent over all expenses.

The Institute.

/
The Custer county Normal Institute
will open Monday, June 9th, and close
Saturday, June llth. Mr.. + E. Collins
will be the conductor, Miss A. G. Will
son and Prof. A. L. Hesnard, assistant
instructors.
Mr.. Collins is an experienced insti-
tute conductor and has served four years
as State Superintendent of Public In.
struction. He is enthusiastic and pro-
gressive. Miss Wilson was with us last
year. Her extended experience in
primary work makes her an invaluable
institute instructor. For some time, it
seemed that we would be limited to two
instructors, but concessions were granted
by which we were enabled to add Prof.
Hesnard to our force ofinstru,tors. Mr..
Hesnard has spent the ySarb in school
work in Colorado. 1 am sure Custer
county teachers will welcome him once
more at institute.
We have arranged for two classes in
arithmetic, one each in geography, his
tory, civics, grammar, literature, physical
geography, drawing, didactics, book
keeping. Miss Wilson will give instruc-
ton i'll primary methods, and have a
class for work in some lines not given
last year. Current events will be intro
duced in the opening exercises.
This is an outline of what the instruc-
tors will do. 1t is Mr.. Collins opinion
that their work will not be of much
benefit unless it is supplemented by Wig
orous work on the part of the teachers.
No one should take more than four class.
es requiring preparation. All should be
prepared with text books. Many of the
teachers wish to secure higher grade of
certificate and much of the Institute
work is arranged to give them assistance,
but they must work outside of recita-
tions.
We wish to urge the necessity ofbeing
present Monday morning. We have
only six days of institute, and in order
to obtain the benefit of the short term
every one should be present at the open
ing.
There will be special services on Sun
day, June 9th, to which teachers are cor
daily invited.
AS the institute is provided out of the
county funds, and is for the purpose of
raising the qualifications of the teachers
of the county, the law requires teachers
to attend and accepts only long expert
ence and high grading as an excuse for
non attendance. We hope to have the
presence Of every person who will be
employed in the schools the coming
year.
Those who have a copy of "Uncle
Sans School Songs" please bring it,"
Note books will be supplied at 10 cents.
No examination before the regular one
in August.
Sincerely yours,
MARY l.. REED.

When the permanent capital building
is built it will cost at least $4,000 year
tax for fuel and light if it should be at
Mitchell where fuel had to be purchased.
With natural gas at Pierre the state can
put down an artesian well and with it's
own natural gas furnish fuel, lights and
elevator power free as we'll as furnish
water for sewerage. The state appro-
priated as much as $4,000 year ten
wears ago (see session laws 1889 for fuel
and light at the Yankton hospital. Now
the appropriation is included in the
$4,000 year appropriation and amounts
perhaps to $4,000 year. The perma'
nent capital at Pierre means a saving o.
$4,000 to $25, 900 year forever for fue
and water alone. The people Of South
Dakota know to we'll what fuel costs tc
move their capital from natural gas tc

No Memorial Service.

For the first time in more than twenty
years Memorial Day, which occurs on
Monday next, will be unobserved in
Custer. Arrangements for its observance
were made some time ago and speaker
engaged for the occasion, but by reason
of the breaking out of contagious dis
ease of malignant character, and the
general quarantine which followed, ii
was deemed advisable to dispense with
the services. The Grand Army post will
decorate the graves of deceased soldiers
in the cemetery in acco rdance with their
usual custom.

Railroad Survey Comnleted.

c. A. Hutchinson, while in Deadwood
a few days ago, in speaking of the work
on the new line for the Black Hills and
Wyoming railroad, stated to a Pioneer
Times reporter that the surveyors have
completed the preliminary work, and
everything is in readiness for active
work as soon as the contract on the road
has been awarded. The bids are daily
being received from various builders and
it is likely that the contract will be
awarded in the near future. Mr. Hutch
inson predicts a very active season in
the section that will be tapped by the
road. Several good mining properties
will be opened up as soon as a good rate
can be secured for the transportation OF
ore. One Of the great features of that
section is the abundance of water, which
will undoubtedly prove an important
factor in the future. With this road
opened to the heart of the region sur.
rounding Mystic much good will be de-
rived.
