Charles Marshall, contrary to ex
pectations last week is improving
nicely and it is hoped that he can
soon be moved to a more temperate
climate, where, it is hoped, he will
recover entirely. This is most graft
flying, especially so from the fact
that last week at this time, all hope
for his recovery had been lost,
Monday of this week, the M. r. e.
N. w. r. r. was completed. or to be
more exact, the line was joined to-
gether near Pacto.a and train was
run through from Mystic to Rapid.
Tuesday an excursion was made
from this city to Mystic and return
and was the occasion of much re-
joicing on the part of the citizens
who took the trip. Though the
road is not as yet in the condition
the management expects to maintain
the fact that rails have been strung
the entire distance and train go,
over them is matter of much ST It's
{ .ction to those who have known OF
the graft, heartaches and failures
that have att ended the construction
OF the road.
Among the list OF improvements
sent out by the Sioux City Boiler
and Sheet Iron Works, is the con-
templated erection of of an Academy
by the local Methodists of Dead
wood. Also the erection Of q church
by the Methodists of Lead in the
near future. While the plans for
the erection of the Methodist
Academy in the Hills have not been
de6nately decided upon, at least to
the knowledge of anyone in this city,
the promoters may have decided to
erect the institution at Deadwood,
however the plan is worthy one
and should have the hearty support
of all Black Hills people whether it
is located in Rapid, Deadwood or any
other city Of this section, after the
promoters demonstrate just why
another Methodist college is at all
necessary at present owing to the
fact that they have one at Hot
Springs that appears to be more or
less OF white elephant on their
hands.
THE Daily Dispatch" is the name
Of the new daily paper now published |
by stock company in Deadwood
Jesse Simmons has the paper ia
charge and though at this writing a
copy of the paper is not ut hand,
geographically the paper will be q
wonderful improvement over tue
Pioneer Times Of that place, while
Mr.. Simmons is ut It's head. The
held Tor another morning paper in
Deadwood is not bright from this
far distance. About two good
dailies in Deadwood and Lead would
I'll the bill aud make it possible for
each to get good patronage and
get out good papers. AS it is, the
two cities support tive da,lies. This
can not but result 10 the failure Of
some of them and failures in q print
ing office mean big failures aud large
losses. The Black Hills has never
been what might be really called an
AL newspaper country" but the
editors and business managers
struggle brayely against almost
hopeless odds. We wish The ..Dis-
patch the best Of al! good thingsI
and trust that they will De allowed
to rake in Their share of the sheckles
and u little more. II there is any
place that is in need Of o real daily
paper to represent its interests it
is Deadwood. The Pioneer Times Of
that place has never filed the bill
even with the field all its own, @typ-
graphically the poorest paper in the
state. editorlally weak and incon-
sistent, the major portion Of their
news matter stolen aud their bust
mess methods horrid, the u Dispatch
has much in its favor and again We
wish.it Q long and prosperous life.
