Some years ago law was passed max

Some years ago law was passed max
ing it crime for the vender Of beef TO
do SO without at the time exhibiting the
hide that came from the beef. A pre-
tense has been made of complying with
this law by rustlers by having a hide
bearing their own brand. 1t has been
known for a long time that the same
hide has done service during the selling
of a number of beeves. The purpose Of
the law is good but its object has been
defeated and stockgrowers have not had
the protection they had hoped for from
the law. Mr.. n. S. Tubbs, republican
candidate for the legislature, is a stock
grower and has suffered from the depre.
dations of cattle rustlers, under such cir
circumstances as to lead him TO believe
that his cattle were being peddled out
as beef by parties who were represent
ing that the beef came from their own
stock. Mr.. Tubbs has in hand an
amendment to the existing law on that
subject that will surround the peddling
of stolen beef with so many difficulties
and hazards that that industry
will be abandoned. 1t is a matter Of
common knowledge that the present law
was inadequate and that persons SO dis
posed could dodge it, and Mr.. Tubbs
proposed amendment TO this law prom
ises to remedy the evil The CHRONICLE
is pleased to note the fact that Mr..
Tubbs, while not yet elected, is giving
attention to matters of benefit to the
county, and is manifesting that when
he sits as a member of the legislature
will do something. That is what we
want, and Mr.. Tubbs close association
with the stock interests of the Hills es-
pecially fits him to serve the paramount
industry Of the county. Unless the
CHRONICLE is greatly mistaken the voters
will consider these facts and on election
day cast a vote for Mr.. Tubbs, thereby
conserving their own interests.

nafinins the boundary.

The work of clearly defining the boun-
dary between South Dakota and Wyom-
ing, provided for by an act of the last
session Of congress approprating $40, 900
for the purpose, was commenced last
week by Frank S. Peck and o. II. South
mayd, of Deadwood, who are in the
field with force of surveyors. They are
beginning at Montana lake in the north
western part of Lawrence county and
will work south running the survey a
distance of l03 miles, placing stone
monuments along the line at intervals
of one mile. The purpose of the work
is to enable persons residing near the
boundary to deterLline readily in which
state their property is. The monuments
TO be used in.marking the line have ar
rived at Belle Fourche and will be dis
tributed from there in wagons. They
weigh 500 pounds each, and will be plac.

FIRST Regtment Memorial.

The State Historical Society has sent
us the following letter for publication
and we hope the request contained in
the letter may be generously responded
| to.
The State Historical Society at the
State House in Pierre, has set apart a
room for a Memorial Museum to the
/ First South Dakota Volunteer Infantry,
and is now working to secure suitable
relics to place therein. The officers of
the society feel that every soldier of the
First" should contribute at least one, If
not more, relics to this museum, where
they will be kept on exhibit as his per
sonal donation. Furthermore the SOC
lety should have in this room, in suit
able case, the photographs of all the
members of the State Regiment. The
society now has the regimental flags and
several relics, together with fourteen OF
Hodson's enlarged pictures Of the regi-
ment. Now, and not fifty years hence.
is the time to collect these things and
place them where they will be preserv-
ed and so down in the history Of our
young state to its honor, as well as to the
honor and glory of the contributors.
The society has sent out cards request
ing donations to this museum and if any
boys of the First" do not receive such
a request they may rest assured it is be-
cause the society does not have their
present adress, and it is to be hoped
that they will respond to this public
notice as though they had received a
personal letter. With everyone doing a
little there is no possible excuse for this
state not having the best exhibit of this
nature in the Union. Let everybody
help and let us build up a Memorial TO
the First" Of which we will always be
proud. Do it now.

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.


Last week the CHRONICLE gave a brie
write up Of the candidates on the re
publican ticket, but omitted the County
Superintendent of Schools and County
Commissioner, for the reason that in
formation needed was not obtained ir
time for use in last issue.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
For this Office Of so vital importance
to the children and youth ofthe county
Miss Amy Gurney, of Elk Mountain
was nominated Miss Gurney has been
a resident Of Custer county for eight
years and is possessed Of a quarter sec.
! ton of land which she is holding under
her homestead right. She has been
teaching for number of years and
holds first grade certificate, issued un-
der direction Of the State Superintend.
ent. Miss Gurney's work has chiefly
been IN the country districts and in the
smaller town schools. Her experience
in country school work especially tits
her for the duties of County Superin-
tendent, as that officer has to deal dir
ectly with the country schools, and up.
on that officer devolves the duty Of
directing and experimenting that class
Of schools. In the towns there is en-
ployed principal, who is particularly
qualified TO direct the schools under his
charge, and he is given direct charge
and held responsible for all the schools
in the town, which relieves the County
Superintendent of much responsibility
at the town schools. Miss Gurney has
taught successfully in several districts of
the county, and everywhere where she
has taught her success is her recommen
datlon. She is now teaching her fifth
term in Elk Mountain district.
COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
Frank J.. Kirk was renominated for
County Commissioner. 1t is no easy
Job to be county commissioner of a

be exercised to keep the expenses with

Efficient Care Taken OF Adults and
Small Children.
The greatest development OF Japan I'm
charity has been In the institutional
care of able bodied adults and of de-
pendent children, says Charities. Prog
ress in the care of the former dates
back to 1898, when commission
was appointed to consider the problem
in all its bearings. This commission
recommended, first, the erection,
through funds furnished by the state,
of workshops In which the INDECENT
poor OF Tokyo could be put at work
and their earnings applied TO their sup
port; second. TO supplement- these work
shops, or until, they could be erected,
by the establishment of agencies for
furnishing drivers OF vehicles, mowers
OF lawns, etc, men with simple occu-
pations, the employee to remain under
control OF the agencies and his earnings
to be applied to his support, and. third.
the support under sanitary conditions
of the aged. the cripples and those in
capable Of any form of labor. and the
rearing of their children at public ex-
pense and under public oversight. AS
a result OF this plan It is not unusual
to find that workshop inmates such as
the blind. the paralytic. the inhrm. the
high or middle grade idiots and persons
who have lost one or more limbs be-
come well trained in some particular
task and acquire degree of skill that
enables them to earn more than is
necessary for their support

Memorial Day was observed in
Kingwood this year in very
hitting and appropriate manner.
The program as published in the
papers last week, was carried out
on Sunday afternoon. The Court
House was crowded and Company
G.. of the National Guard met at
the Armory and marched to the
Court House, making very hand.
some appearance in their new blue
uniforms. Hon. Rufus Holden,
presided as chairman of the meeting
and made one of the finest short
addresses we ever listened to. 1t
was eloquent, appropriate and right
to the point and he quit when he
got done. Rev. III. C.. Howard
and Rev.R M. Ramsey of the M. T.,
and Presbyterian churches, also
delivered splendid addresses, al.
though in different line from Mr..
Holden. The audience then sang
"Amerlca" and marched to the
Cemetery, where all the graves of
the soldiers were properly decorated
with flowers and flags. Most of the
other graves were also remembered
by friends. This custom is becom-
ing more and more general every
year and is very pretty way to
remember our dead friends.

The latest back set in a business
way in this section is the big failure
of the A. c. Oliver Lumber Co,
operating over near Masontown and
along the line of the M. & X. over
200 men were employed many Of
them from this county and all OF
them are stuck for two months
wages, averaging about sIoo each.
Frank Chidester is in for over twice
that amount and L. f. Swearengen,
Supt. for the Company about $1,000
and the merchants at Masontown
are loaded with the papers and or
ders of the Company. II is said
that the banks at Morgantown are
also carrying thousands OF dollars
of the Company's paper. Quite a
number Of the employees are here
today getting in their claims and
trying to save themselves by liens
and attachments. The law Office
Of Rufus Holden has been crowded

POLICE COURT PICKUPs
The New Mayor Tries His Hand Dis
pensiBg Justice.

His Honor, Mayor Holden has
been Weakening things up a little.
Last Saturday Floyd Jones, a
Tunnelton miner came to town and
started in to celebrate and capture
one corner of the town before the
police nabbed him and hauled him
up before the new Mayor who fined
him 81 so.
Next came Jim Whetsell and ].
Ridenour who had looked on
somthing when it was red and then
undertook to down il. His Honor
said So and cost and they paid up
and went home to mediate.
The main performance came off
Sunday, and Aunt Mary Gidley wife
of Clark Gidley, was the star OF
the occasion. She decided to have
decoration all to herself and
found a jug of bug Juice left over
from the Republican Primary cam
paign, that had been mislaid in some
way. Ii contained a full assert.
ment of war whoops, ghost-dauces.
and high jumps with remarks to
match for trimmings. Aunt Mary
started out to give the neighborhood
the full benefit of II, but Charley
Reed the barber had gotten tired OF
these exhibitions and came down to
the Mayors Office and made COM
plant. Constable c. W. Fawcett
and special officer Frank r. Pierce
were sent after the old lady. In
the mean time the street parade was
over and the show had gone home
to get ready for the afternoon per-
Torrance, but the officers found her
hiding and locked up and had to
break the door in to get her. She
refused to come till she could find
her snuff box, but they finally landed
her before the Mayor, where Mr..
Reed and A. F. Bolyard testified to
her condition and remarks that we
are unable to print. She fessed up
to it all and was fined Gao and cost
and sent to Jail. This ended the
Wild west exhibition and the mex,

property for damages, about sas in
