Died..

Mr.. Alexander ID. Ennis, a well known
resident of Bakerville, died at that place
September %, 1905, at the age of 70
years.
Mr.. Ennis was born in Chemung
county, N. Y, in 1880. In April, 1857,
he moved to De Kalb county, H., which
place he made his home until 1868, at
which time he removed to Floyd coun-
ty, Iowa. From this place Mr.. Ennis
came to the Black Hills and located at
Bakerville in the year 1887, where he
has made his home ever since.
Mr.. Ennis was married March s, 1854,
to Hannah Arkils, who survives him.
To this union were born six children,
three of whom, Charles Ennis of Baker
vile, Mrs. Mae Rose, who resides in the
eastern part of the state, and Cornelius
Ennis, who makes his home in Wyom-
ing, are still living,
The hospitality of Mr.. Ennis made
him widely known beyond the circle of
his neighbors to many who have had
occasion to travel through that part Of
the country, and the high esteem in
which the deceased was held was shown
by the large concourse of neighbors and
friends who followed the remains to the
Cold Springs Cemetery, and by the pro-
fusion of floral offerings. The funeral
services were conducted from the resi-
dence of his son Charles Wednesday af-
tsrnoon By Rev. Bondurant OF Buffalo
Gap.

Mining Items.

The Hot Springs Star says the Black
Hills Fuller's Earth company are about
to close a contract to supply a Chicago
house with 200 car loads of Fuller's
Earth. They have an article that is sure
to win.
At the Blue Lead mine a big station
has been cut in the tunnel 1900 feet dis
tant from the opening of the same, says
the Hill Hill City News. A gallows
frame and hoist will be erected there for
the purpose of sinking shaft to water
level. The depth already attained by
the tunnel is six hundred feet.
The hoist and blacksmith shop, and
about thirty-five cords of wood belong
ing to the Extreme Gold Mining and
Milling company, situated three miles
westerly from Custer, was totally des-
troyed by fire the forepart of last week.
The fire started in pile of shaving near
the hoist from sparks from the boiler.

Support Your Home Merchants.

Support your home merchants when.
ever it is possible to do so. Occasional
ly you may get real bargain from a
city mail order house, but quite as often
you get an inferior article as well as A
low price. The goods do not always
look as You thought they would from
the catalogue description and you would
not have bought them at any price had
you been able to see them. On the
whole the individual is equally as we'll
of, and the community at large would
be much better off if we patronized each
other instead of the foreign establish
ments. If We all sent to Chicago or else
where for our merchandise there would
be no necessity for a town where Custer
now stands, and many of US would be
compelled to go to Chicago or elsewhere
to make living. 1t is the home mer-
chant you look to when sickness or
other misfortune has drained your pock-
ct book of its last cent Show your
gratitude for his timely assistance by
buying your supplies of him when cash
is plentiful. Don't get into the mail Or
der habit when you can do just as well
at home, see the goods and know what
you are giving up your money for.

Sawmills and Forest Reserve.

Custer county never has and probably
never will favor the forest reserve. The
opinion of majority Of the citizens OF
that commonwealth is reflected in an
article from the pen of Harry Way re-
Gently appearing in the CUSTER CHRoN-
IcLE. We take pleasure in reproducing
Freeman Knowles answer to this arti-
Gle. 1t is well enough as far as it goes,
but it scarcely covers the case.
The main point of argument which
Mr.. Way raises is on the destruction of
the lumber industry. He should pause
and consider before rushing to rash
statements.
Anyone at all acquainted with the
numbering trade as carried on prior to
the establishment of the reserve knows
1t was complete failure. Sawmill men
would operate their plants for few
days or weeks, manufacturing a con.
tracted bill of lumber, sell the same and
annex large spree. The men, mer-
chants and bankers were unpaid, and
the county Of Custer practically demor-
allied by an extensive continuance of
this practice. In all truth it may be
said that not ten per cent of the saw
mills operated at that time were financial
successes. Timber was free, or practic-
ally so, and the business was carried on
in worse than loose manner.
Today, when the timber must be
bought from the government, bond
executed before mill can be started
all the rules governing the reserve care
fully observed, the sawmill business
pays. The ratio of failures to successes
is reversed. Nowadays not ten per cent
OF the mills are failures.
Is it better to harbor a bootlegging.
drunken, unbusinesslike resource in a
country than plain straightforward
manufacturing proposition For saw
milling as it must be conducted upon
the reserve today is manufacturing
proposition. The operator buys the
timber, prepares it for the market and
disposes of it, all at a fair margin of pro-
fit. He knows that il he fails to pay
Uncle Sam; if he fails TO abide by the
regulations governing the running OF
sawmills on the reserve, his permit will
be forfeited For this class alone, to say
nothing Of the miner, the farmer, and
the stockraiser, the forest reserve is OF
insstimable benefit. Mining Reylew,

So. Omaha Live Stock Market.

Special letter from Clay, Robinson &
Co., Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
Sept. 25th, 1905.
Cattle Heavy supplies of cattle at
this as well as all other points last week
caused rather weakening effect to the
cattle trade. Prices in general on the
good beef steers were 10 @ l5c lower at
the close, while the commoner classes
probably closed lower than this. How
ever, considering liberal runs at all
points the market held up exceedingly
well and the trade has been in a SEEM
ing healthy condition. The good cattle
the past week sold at $40O @ $425; fair
to good S365 a. S400. Cow stuff hardly
seems to be holding up to the usual pre-
portion at this season of the year, and
no doubt for this reason the market has
been fairly active. The good heavy fat
cows held just about steady for the week
but the common and medium classes are
right at l5c lower than week before last
The good kinds are still selling at $500
@ 1926, while the common medium
classes are going around $3.50 "a S2.65
and Gamers at Sl.65 "a 1926. There
was quite little weakness noticeable in
the feeder division toward the close of
the week and prices for the good heavy
fieshy cattle, which have been in the
best demand, took a tumble of right at
20 a. 25c. However. the medium class.
es have been going at moderate prices
right along as compared with these heavy
steers, and these are not a great deal diff
ferent than week ago. The good heavy
fleshy dehorned steers are selling today
at 1915 a. S400 fair to good $3.50 G9
1915; good medium and light weight
steers $3.50 @ 1915; fair to good 1886
(@ SO so.

Pierre Bridge over River.

AS an added assurance of the North
Westerns line from Pierre to Rapid, ar
ticles of incorporation were recently
filed at the capital for the road that will
span the Missouri river. This is to be
known as the Pierre and Fort Pierre
Bridge Railway. It's plans to construct a
bridge across the river from Pierre that
will cost in the neighborhood of mil.
lion dollars. The bridge will be of steel
and of the latest device. 1t was an
nounced by those connected with the
bridge railway that the work of con-
struction on the the bridge will start at
once, so that the first step towards the
construction of the line to Pierre may
be expected in few days. The incor-
porators are all officers or men heavily
interested in the Northwestern line.

week by announcing that he was one of
the men who robbed the First National
bank, was arrested in Deadwood early
Sunday morning en- ths charge of enter

preliminary hearing he waived examin-
alton and was bound over to the Law

$500 which he failed to furnish. Several
of the things stolen were found on his
person, and it is stated that enough evi-
dence has been secured to convict him.

Engaged people should remember,
that, after marriage, many quarrels can
be avoided, by keeping their digestions

The state fair at Huron this year was
a great success but was marred by the
absence of exhibits from the Black Hills.
While state fair is popularity an exhi-
bition of agricultural and live stock in
terests it is not necessarily limited to
them. Mining is almost the sole occu-
patton in one corner of the state. An
exhibit such as the Hills could make,
would be interesting and instructive to
those who dwell in this part Of the state

A levelheaded exchange says
Learn this one thing learn it early in
life and learn it well, that the man who
does not believe as you do is not always
a fool. The fact that you hold view not
in accord with your neighbors is not
proof positive that you are right and he
is wrong, nor is it any evidence that
your neighbor is insincere. If this were
n ot true then all smart men would be-
long to one party and all good men to
one church. And il all belonged to one
party and one church they would break
up both party and church"
