Death of a Centenarian.

Died, at the home of his son, Joseph
+. Pitcher, in Custer, S. D., August 26
1905, at 400 p. m., Rufus II. Pitcher
| aged 100 years, IL months and 10 days
lie was surrounded during his last hours
by his three surviving children and
their families.
Deceased was born in Athens, Athens
county, Ohio, September 18th, 1904. He
was married October 18th, lS49, in Chill
ocothe, Ohio TO Mary Tillinghast. They
moved to Racine Ohio, where they re.
sided until 1868. In that year the fam
lily moved to Dupont, Indiana, where
his wife died on April 10Th, 1873. He
came to the Black Hills in 1877, and for
the past fourteen years has made Custer
his home. During these years he had
been engaged in mining and promoting
mining enterprise; in the latter business
he was engaged up to the time of his
sickness. There were three children in
the family, all of whom remain to mourn
the loss of a kind and loving father, viz
Joseph +, Pitcher and Charles w. Pill
cher of Custer, and Mrs. Geo. w. Scho
field, of Indianapolis, Indiana. In the
passing away Of Mr.. Pitcher Custer has
lost useful citizen, and his friends q
genial companion.
Mr.. Pitcher was the survivor of three
wars, serving his country in the Black
Hawk war Of 1882, the Mexican war OF
lS4S, and the war of the Rebellion from
1861 to 1865, with rank of Captain. In
his younger days he followed steamboat
ing on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers
In various capacities, from Cabin boy to
Captain. He was great traveller and
In his earlier years had visited nearly
every civilized country on the globe.
dis hundred anniversary he celebrated
at the South Dakota building at the St.
Louis exposition on the fifteenth of Sep
tember last, and his friends gave him a
banquet at one of the big hotels there
that evening. He received at that time
great many kilograms from old friends
all over Indiana and Ohio. Up to about
two years ago he was very strong and
vigorous, and was great walker, and
took great deal of outdoor exercise.
About three years ago he was one of the
three remaining survivors of the Black
Hawk war. The citizens of Indian
apolis, Indiana, at the time gave ban.
quet, at which these survivors were the
guests OF honor, and this incident was
one Of the most pleasant memories OF
his life
The funeral took place from the home
of his son, where Rev. X. w. Powell
delivered an able and appropriate SER
mon, taking for her text Genesis XIV,
Is. At the conclusion of these services
Custer City Lodge No. &c, A. F. & A. NJ,
took charge of the remains and, follow
ed by large concourse Of mourning
friends, escorted them to the Custer
cemetery, where he was buried with
Masonic honors. Mr.. Pitcher had been
an honored member of the Masonic or
der since 1869.

So. Omaha Live Stock Market.

Special letter from Clay, Robinson &
Co., Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
August 2Sth, 1905.
Cattle Receipts Of cattle all last
week were only fair, but as 6 general
thing the run was distributed quite even
ly one day with another. The market
closed up steady to strong for all kinds
OF desirable killing steers and there was
very good feeling noticeable the entire
week. This week starts out with light
run for Monday, some 200 cars, although
other points have fairly liberal supplies.
The market today is quite active and
steady to little higher on all good beef
steers, while the common and medium
kinds are steady. Good to choice besves
are selling at $40 a. $3.50; fair to good
1896 a. S4 90. The COW market closed
10 a. l5c lower last week on account of
the good numbers included in the re.
ceipts. The market today is starting out
steady on anything with flesh and quail
ity. Good to choice kinds are selling at
1886 a. $3.l5; fair to good 81. 40 a. S2S5
Gamers Sl65 a. $500. There was a
noticeable increase in the demand for
good heavy cattle last week for feeding
purposes, and these kinds were right at
zoe higher for the week. However, the
light and medium kinds are quotably
strong with week before last. Good
heavy cattle are selling at 1915 a. S410;
fair to good $3.50 a. SS.75 light and
common kinds all the way from $500 a.

7 oh ms POpulaiily'
Madison Sentinel: After reading the
Independent mon partisan" "un- bias
ed" "anti-republican Sioux Falls Press,
one is led to believe that the S. D. dele
CATION is all torn up politically and di-
vided into machine and anti timachine
factions, that senators and congressman
have ceased to be on speaking terms
that Messrs. Gamble and Martin are en-
gagged in bitter personal fight, that
harmony, socially and politically, is
strained beyond reconciliation and that
the insurgents are the only pure, unsel-
fish and harmonious crowd on earth.
Now comes the story from Deadwood
that while Senators Gamble and Kilt
redgs and Congressman Burke were in
the Hills recently they were all enter
tanned at dinner at the home Of Con-
gressman Martin were shown the city to-
gether and came away on the same train.
The insurgent press will have hard work
to reconcile this story with some Of its
recent editorials. The fact is that while
Messrs. Martin and Gamble are both
candidates for the senate their cam
paigns will be conducted on higher
plane than that laid down by the anti
republican papers and the peoples rep
resentatives will be called upon to settle
the matter at the next republican state
convention.

STATE POLITICS.

Watertown Public Opinion: The fact
that Congressman Martin has announc-
ed his candidacy for tho United States
senate has given rise to much specula-
ton concerning congressional possibili-
ties. 1t is assumed that had Mr.. Mar.
tin expressed desire to be returned to
the house for another term there would
have been practically no opposition to
his candidacy, but his withdrawal from
the list of congressional possibilities
leaves the field open for free for all
fight in which John Doe" seems to
stand as good chance to win as Rich
ard Roe" and this feature has served to
cause many communities supposing to
harbor congressional timber to prick up
their ears and adjust their field glasses
and scan the political horizon with a
view of ascertaining the advisability Of
shying castor or two into the arena.
With general mix up, with every man
for himself and the devil" trying to
catch the hindermost, political lightning
might strike the least suspecting so sud-
denly as to stun the victim, astound his
friends and astonish the world. In the
meantime, keep on your shirt, wipe the
perspiration from his manly brow and
saw wood.
