A Birthday Party.

Friday afternoon the 9Th inst, the
Ladies Aid Society of the Nj. E. church
re-enforced by few intimate friends
made their appearance unbidden at the
cosy home of Mrs. Mary Todd. The
guests carried with them we'll filled bas
kets of delicious edibles and they pro.
ceeded to celebrate the birthday ami
versary of their excellent hostess with
much merriment and good cheer.
Mrs. Todd was presented with some
beautiful pieces of china as mark OF
the esteem and affection in which she is
held by her co-workers in the church
and her friends at large. The good lady
was much affected by this evidence OF
neighborly kindness but managed to
express her thanks in heartfelt words.
If the good wishes of her guests avail
our hostess will live to celebrate many
happy returns of the day. Those pres
ent we're Mesdames Wilcox, Cruson,

Does Hills an Injustice.

Indignation has been aroused among
mining men and others the Black Hills
over the report on the gold output ofthis
section by Director of the Mint Roberts,
says Deadwood special of recent date
In his report he gives the out.
put for South Dakota at but $2,SS9,-
l37. This amount represented but
a small portion of the gold produced in
the Black Hills for 1909, and is mislead-
ing and calculated to do this section
great deal of harm, so many believe.
During the year just passed the produc.
ton of the Homestake Mining company
alone was 81, ,526,942, while the amount
produced by other companies milling
ores certainly exceeded tie amount
given in the report made by the director
of the mint. The matter has been taken
up by the Mining Mems association and
the director will be called upon 10 cor
rect the error, for it certainly must have
been one, as the production was nearer
$8 000, 900 than the amount given. Dur
ing greater part of the year the big
smelter of the Golden Reward has been
idle, and number of other plants un-
dergoing alterations and repairs, and for
this reason the output of the precious
metals fell below the estimates of pro.
duclion made at the beginning of the
year. The Golden Reward production
Of gold, despite the fact that its smeter
has been idle during the greater part of
the year, was 81 ,O0S, 900, and as neither
that company nor the Homestake ship
their gold through the local United States
assay Office, but direct to the mint, it is
thought that in the estimate made by
Director Roberts only the amount ship
ped through the assay Office was taken
into consideration, and the product of
the two biggest mining corporations in
the Black Hills was not figuredin. With
the output Of these two companies in
cluded in the figures given the produc-
ton of gold in the Black Hills would
have been something like $9,000,000 for
1908.

I DAKOTA. SATURDAY. JANUARY Is, 1904
Fatal Accident.

One of the most deplorable accidents
that ever happened in this locality oc.
Cured on Saturday, the 9th inst. II
vas about IL o'clock when Mr.. Alonzo
HI. Stagg, a we'll known farmer residing
eight miles southwest of this place, was
coming to town with load of wood, and
when coming down steep hill near the
residence of Mr.. w. V. Starkw Gather, a
mile and half south Of town, his team
becoming frightened, ran away, and be-
ing seen by Mr.. Starkweather and fam.
lily while passing their house. son of
Mr.. S. followed it, and Mrs. s. fearing
that Mr.. Stagg might have been thrown
from the wagon and seriously injured,
FASTENED to the scene Of the accident,
about forty rods distant where she found
Mr.. Stagg lying in the road in very
critical condition, his right arm broken
and suffering from internal irjuries, the
wagon wheels having passed over his
body. Mrs. s. remained with him until
her son and others came with Mr.. Stark
weather's team, when he was brought to
DR.. Calkins Office, who done all that was
possible to do in the way of administer
ing to his relief. Realizing that the case
was hopeless Mrs. Stagg was sent for at
once, but death had set his seal upon
him before her arrival, his sufferings
ending at 2:30 O'Clock, having only sur
vived the accident for the brief period of
two hours and half. The shock brought
upon Mrs. Stagg by the sudden death of
a kind and affectionate husband was
paralyzing in it's effect, and her manifes-
tations of grief were intense and pitiable
in which she has the earnest sympathy
of the entire community.
Funeral services were held at the Con-
gregational church on Monday, at
O'Clock p. m, under the direction of the
members of the local camp of the order
of Modern Woodman of America, of
which he was member, and burial fol-
lowed in the Custer cemetery.

A COOPERATIVE Plan.

The farmers of Spearfish valley and
surrounding country have formed an or
ganization to be known as the Co-opera-
tive Association of the Black Hills. The
meeting at which the organization was
affected occurred at Spear6sh on Janu-
ary End. The stock in the organization
has par value of 500 a share and no
member is permitted to purchase more
than one share and every member must
be a shareholder. At the purchase of a
share $40 is paid down, the same sum is
paid one month after date and the same
amount in another month, the remaining
$40 not to be called for unless needed
and then only as much as necessary. The
association is planning to have a ware
house in Spearish and a manager ap-
pointed to assume charge of its affairs.
A charge of fve per cent will be made
for the handling Of the produce of those
not members. 1t shall be the duty Of
the manager to obtain the most profit
able markets for all produce handled by
this ware house. 1t is further planned
by the association to enter into co. OPP
Grafton with the retail dealers of the
Black Hills so as to extend its general
scope.
Prof. F. L. Cook, president of the state
normal school at Spearfish, is president I;
A. T. Adams, first vice president; NJ. L.
Brenn, second vice president; w. T.
Hartman, secretary and j. L. Gates, ID.
A. Dorset and John Madill, directors.
A circular letter has been issued by
the association setting forth its aims.
This letter, among other things, states:
"The purpose of this organization is to
market the products of its producing
members to best advantage, to place
them on the markets in perfect condi-
ton and maintain healthy market at
all times. We will export when we
have an over supply, import when we
are short and buy and sell of non-mem-
bers. We plan to gain the cooperation
of the Black Hills merchants by selling
to them, thus doing away with huckster-
ing. All products will be shipped to the
best outside market The association is
being incorporated under the laws Of
South Dakota.

That stupid clerk in the office of the
Director of the Mintat Washington, who
made the now admitted mistake of four
million dollars in the gold output of the
Black Hills, ought to be taken out be-
hind the wood shed and severely spank
ed for his carelessness, after which he
should be given a tie pass to his New
England home and given position in
charge of the family wood yard, which
would be infinitely more harmonious
with his mental capacity. The author
OF an error so inexcusably and palpably
rank as this should not be permitted to

The daily palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1904-1905, 1904-12-05

Indianapolis, Dec. 4.-The Indi-
annapolis city library and the Indiana
State library have come into posses
sion of a great bundle of old newspa-
pers, a miscellaneous assortment that
had been treasured for many years
by Isaac Julian, formerly Of Corners
vile, Ind, now of San Marco, Tex.
These treasures were equally divided
by the two Libraries. Some of them
were published in the early ZOOS,
and with the exception of the Rich
mond Palladium, even their very
names have gone from the memory
of men.
Among the Oldest of them in the
lot that came to- the city library is
"The National Crisis,' 1882, pub
lished at Cincinnati. Some of them
have titles as long as an ox-goad,
such as "The Cincinnati Republican
and Commercial Register" 1886,
which proclaimed itself as uncompro-
misingly for Martin Van Buren, for
President Of the United States; Bick
nell's Reporter, Counterfeit Detecter
and Philadelphia Prices Current
(1S35); the National Republican and
Ohio Political and Commercial Reg
lister (1S32); the Liberty Hall and
Cincinnati Gazette QS35); the Sen
tinel and Star Of the West, Cincin-
natl (1S32).
Besides these there are old Jour-
nails, Advertisers, Mirrors and Bea-
cons; the Spiritual Telegraph, Bos-
ton (1S52), and other noted anti-sla-
very organs Of an early day. Among
the quaint newspaper titles of more
recent date is the Homer Had
(1S66) published at Homer, La. An
other is Chapman's Coon-Skinner
published in 1914, in Indianapolis, a
Democratic campaign paper that
sounded the praises Of Polk and Dali
las in the memorable campaign OF
that year.
Among the papers that proudly
bore the opprobr1ous name OF apo
litionist' was the Anti-Slavery Blu
gle, published at Salem, O., of which
a well-preserved copy Of the date Of
October 20, 1860, remains. On the
first page it presents, surrounded by
heavy rules, this:
Gin memory of John Brown, wht
