Cy Robbins Return.

Mr.. c. W. Robbins, who is so well and
fav orably known in this community, re-
turned to Custer last Saturday night. He
is looking well, has gained in flesh, and
says his absence of year spent in the
cities of ST. Louis and Chicago has not
done him any harm. He says, however,
that he is glad to get back to the old
town, to shake hands with old friends,
and to gaze once more on the old fam
iliar places. He says that when he
went away it was with the avowed pur-
pose Of placing mine, and did not in
tend to return until he had accomplish
ed his mission. He reports having
found it very slow and uphill work try
ing to interest capital in mining propo-
sition in st. Louis, from the fact that
they had been feeced so numerically in
the last few years by those having feet
to SELL that they have come to the con-
ciuson that Mark Twain's definition of
a miner is about right. He Mark
Twain said that "a miner is liar with
hole in the ground" and st. Louis peo-
pie are perfectly willing to let it go at
that without any further investigation.
Mr.. Il. reports that the last month of
his stay was spent in Chicago, and he
was able to do in that city in one week
what he was unable to do in st. Louis in
year. Cy makes this distinction be-
tween the business men of the two cities.
Socially you can get nearer and dearer
to St Louis man on short acquaintance
than you can with the Chicago man,
but in matter of business the st. Louis
man will turn down your proposition
without investigating it, while the Chic
agoan will investigate the very old devil
if he ever comes into their Office. Yes,
and take stock in him too if he can show
them how to make money.
Mr.. r. says that he cannot state posi-
lively at this stage just what he has been
able to accomplish. But to quote his
words, II have sold two mines in the vi
cinity of Custer for good figures, proyid-
ing the ore will 60 on a commercial scale
one quarter as much as it will 60 by lab
oratory test. The parties buying will
make the test in their mill at Mystic,
and we are now taking out two car loads
of ore to make the test run" Mr.. r. in
forms us that he has had a great many
tests made while in st. Louis and the
results have been TO confirm the state-

Co., Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
Oct. 9th, 1905.
Supplies of cattle last week we're quite
heavy, but were quite evenly distributed
throughout the week The market on
the good grades of killing steers was in
very good shape and prices held just
about steady. However, the common
and medium classes were 10 g. l5c lower
than a week ago. The supply of cow
stuff was also quite heavy and the trade
rather slow and generally about 10 a.
l5c lower than the close of the previous
week. The inquiry for stockers and
feeders was quite strong through the en-
tire week and in most cases prices were
right around steady on everything but
the common and inferior grades This
also applies to common calves. Good
calves sold up at strong figures but there
were large numbers of common stock
here and the market was rather drsggy.

An exchange has found subscriber
of philosophical turn of mind who
contends that it is much easier TO pay
for his paper in advance than at the end
of the year. In answer to an inquiry he
gave as the reason that when he paid
in advance he was getting something
new for his money, but to pay at the
end of the year was like paying for worn
out clothing-there was none of the
pleasure of anticipation in the transac-
ton. There is some good sense in this.
and the wonder is that the pay-in-ad-
vance principal is not more universally
followed by newspaper subscribers.

SCHOOL and EDUCATIONAL NOTES
EDITED BY HAZEL BAILEY.

Nh4At@A@A~
Miss Pilger's pupils have organized a
literary society. They call themselves
"The Young Americans.
The primary grades are preparing to
study seeds and plant life. They will
begin the work next week.
The High School has received an adj
dition in the person of Flo McFadden
She is taking ninth grade work.
In Miss Greenleaf's room "The Wide
Awakes" are preparing for their literary
meetings. Their programs will be given
once month behind closed doors.
The High School has adopted differ.
ent motto this year from the one which
we tried to follow last year.
"There are loyal hearts,
There are spirits brave.
There are hearts that are pure and true,
Then give to the world the best you have
And the best viii come back to you"
s. BRIDGES.
Lowell says :-"Whatever we can find
in book that aids us in the conduct of
life, or to truer Interpretation of it, or
to franker reconcilement with it, we
may with good conscience believe is
not there by accident, but that the au
thor meant we should find it there.
Last Friday the High School, instead
of following the usual program, o.gan-
lied a debating club. 1t was thought
better to organize a debating society
than general literary society in order
to foster habits Of logical and consecu.
tive thought which general literary work
fails to do. Louise Monheim was unan-
imously elected President, with Hazel
Bailey as Secretary. This is to be sim
ply part of the regular school work.
and as the committees are now at work,
we will soon be in running order.
