hart both Of whom showed that
the city would be benefited by
the franchise, Mr.. Mccarthy
further stated in a few well
chosen remarks that the coun-
Gil were able to draft ordinan-
ces and that further more the
city was in no metropolitan con-
dition at present to demand ex-
orbitant prices for their fran
chises that the spirit shown in
the petition was one of detri-
ment to the clty-a spirit which
was keeping away from the city
legitimate investments.
Mayor Emlick then requested
Alderman Overpeck to take the
chair. The Mayor stated that
he had assisted in drafting the
proposed franchise and that if
there were any startling or glar-
ing breeches Of public trust in
it OF any tendancy to barter away
the public utilities of the city
these clauses had escaped him.
Further he said in brief: If
we act wisely we will have a
city, if we act unwisely we will
not have q city.
Franchises that are valuable
in Chicago and New York are
valueless here. Certainly this
city council will never be one
to place any obstacles in the way
of legitimate enterprise.
Mayor Emrick further stated
that the petitioners objected to
any outside company building
a street car line. Why then
does not someone in the city
bring in such a franchises Ger
tainly it will be fairly consider
ed by the council.
After some other little bust
ness the council adjourned to
meet Wednesday to discuss the
the sewerage system.

Cattle for Sale.

We want to call your attention
to the fact that at RAPID City, Mr..
Corbin Morse, who represents US
in that section, has IT the present
time in his possession a very good
string of COWS and young heifers
and steers, which cattle he has win
tered in South Dakota and are now
for sale. The cattle will be sold in
lots to suit and are particularly de-
sirable on account OF their having
been wintered in Dakota.
In regard to the young steer
movement from the southwest. OH
occount OF the possibility of late
storms we have thought best not tc
ship up many steers from this sec
tion until late in May, so if you are
G Ding to buy steers you can depend
on finding them at Rapid City i'll Mr.
Morse's pastures, where he has en-,
tire charge OF them, about May 20tt
to June LIST, at which time we would
be glad to have you go there an6
make your purchases, and we assure
YOU that we will have the best lot o
steers up there we have ever shipped
north, at moderate prices, and il
will be well for you to visit Mr..
Morse. If you want she cattle you
had better go at once.
We will be glad to hear from 20,
and hope you will take advantage o
this op portunity to make your ppr
chases. Yours truly,
The American Live Stock & Loar
Company.

Monday evening at the city
council meeting was presented
a petition to defer the passage
of the street car franchise. Was
this wise move on the part Of
the citizens of Rapid Citys
1t is a wise thing to place
every available obstacle in the
way Of a proposed enterprises
Is it wise to seek out the mi
mute flaws, if flaws they be in
the franchise, and hurl them at
the proposed investor like so
many jave'ins7 Is it wise? Is
it policyi Leaving aside all re-
gard for the the merit or de-.
merits of the case in question
and considering only the prin-
cipal in general was this the
proper action?
Everywhere about us heard
the jubilant voice Of the enthu-
siast: "We are to have a great
ethyl" Rapid City is about to
raise her great pinions, so long
dormant, and spread them out
until they reach for miles over
the now barren prairie. y ''Great
manufactures will stud her
boundaries like gems upon the
kingly crown!'
All very pretty indeed. But
how is Rapid City to ever spread
those same pinions if they are
to be continually clipped by
petitions, such as was read and
proclaimed from the very house
tops as it were last Monday
EVENING"
If the ordinance had its de.
merits it was and is the duty Of
the city council to see them anc
remedy them. It certainly il
not wise to give jealous cities

DEADWooD OPERA HOUSE
A Great Audience Attends on
Opening Night.

A reporter for the Union was
present at the opening Of the
new Opera House in Deadwood
Monday night when Harry
Creston Clarke proved to an in
telligent audience that he was
among the foremost actors Of
the country. 1t is said that in
his rendition Of this difficult role
of Beucaire that he appears to
better advantage than any other
role he has attempted. The
story Of the play is too we'll
known to be Of great interest
as Booth Tarkington's beauti-
full little story book has been
read by almost every one. How
ever, those who expected, as
did the writer. that the play
would end as did the book, were
disappointed. Mr.. Harrington
evidently thought that the end
ing of the book would not leave
a pleasant recollection so he ar
ranged that Beucaire and Lady
Mary should be married and
Give happy ever after. =

given Deadwood for their ener-

TRIED TO BLOW up HOUSE
Attempt to Dynamite a Res
!dence Friday Night

Last Friday evening an at
tempt was made to blow up the
home Of Virgil Graves, (colored)
on Rapid and 9th streets. Fortu-
nately the effort was unsuccess-
full.
At about 9 O'Clock the people
livingin that vicinity and even
in more remote parts of the city
we're startled by a terrific ex-
plosion that seemed to shake
the very earth. The great roar
Of the blast Numbered and re-
echoed along the quiet streets,
like "the mammoth sunrise
gun on our nations birthday. I"
The perpatrator Of the crime
was either a novice in the art of
blasting or else he relented
at the last moment and
did not place the charge under
the house. No wondert a palor
overspread the dusky face Of
one Of the darkeys, who lived
in the house as he pointed out
the spot where the powder had
exploded to to a Union man
shortly after the shot. A huge
hole had been torn in the earth
a few feet from the house, some
weather boards blown away and
all the windows on that side OF
the house we're more or less de-
molished.
"Skared? Wa man I done
think, l seen the ghost of jes
bout thirteen undertakers," re.
sponded one Of the guests al
the party which was progress
ing at the time Of the explosion
to the query as to whether OF
not she was frightened.
Barring a severe fright no one
Of the families in the house were
much the worse for the expe ri.
ence.

Bud Schafer, a railroad grade
employee was tried in Judge Scrib-
er's court Monday, for the above
offense, the charge being using ex-
plosives with intent to injure life
and property. He was bouod over
to the grand jury and committed
to Jail in default. Mr.. Gardner eff
fciently represented the state,
while Schaffer's case was in the
charge of Mr.. Edwards new attor-
ney here. who acquitted himself
very creditably.

TheStage
The Vanderbilt Cup.

Joseph Gates has added an
other production to his growing
list of successes. This time it is
the much diccussussed automo-
bile cOmedy-drama, The Van
derbilt Cup which will be pre-
sented at the Rapides Theatre,
Alexandria, Saturday, Dec. 20.
The production is described as
an enormous affair, requiring
three acts and ten scenes, and
comprising some new and start
ling effects. It's drawing quail
ties are best expressed by stating
that it had a run of eight months
at the Broadway Theatre, New
York, and a three months run in
Chicago, at the Colonial. 1t is
said to be put on tour with all
the extravagant display which
marked its metropolitan runs.
The cast numbers sixty, and in
cludes many famous players.
The music is catchy, and the en-
semble of stunningly clad auto
mobile girls, is promised to be a
great feature.

Chas. B. Hanford.

That sterling actor Charles B.
Hanford comes to this city on
Wednesday Dec, 10 at the Jeffer-
son theatre with one of the most
important and massive product
ions which in his brilliant career
he has even offered to the play
going public. Each of his special
presentations of great plays from
season to season has in turn at
tracted popular applause and
commended itself to critical ap-
prOval. 1t is becoming under
stood that Mr.. Hanford was con-
sistently following out program
of great revivals. consequently
his efforts annually are an ade-
quate representation of one of the
dramatic masterpieces which are
much heard of but all too seldom
represented with any degree of
conscientious intelligence.
This year M. Hanford will ap-
pear as Marc Antony" in the
great tragedy of craftsmanship.
Julius Caesar"
i This role with it's artistic op-
portunities is one which first
placed Mr.. Hanford in the ranks
of dramatic stars. 1t is a
number Of years since he has
played it and yet he is we'll re-
membered and often spoken of
by students of the stage as a
typical exponent of this role, at
once so dashing and yet so pro-
found. Mr.. Hanford's company
will be on a par with the organ
izations which have custOmarily
appeared in his support. The
management has made due rec
Ognition of the fact that the heroic
personages represented on the
mimic Roman scene must be en-
acted by players of far more than
ordinary capacity, and the COM
pany has been engaged with a
special view to the effective de-
lineations of each role. While
Julius Caesar" is essentially a
mans play that beautiful type of
womanly dignity, "Portia" will
give the admirers of Miss Marie
Drofnah ar opportunity to see
her congenially cast.

QUEER MARRIAGE CUSTOM.
The Malay Bride Has to Have Her
Teeth Filed Away.

Some of the national marriage Gus
toms Of other countries are distinctly
quaint and interesting and to us appear
curious enough. Our conventional white
satin and orange blossoms are certainly
traditional, but otherwise we indulge in
no real madness apart from the throw.
ing Of rice and old shoes.
An instance of curious marriage
custom is that Of lower Ceylon. where
cocoanut, which is regarded as sort
Of oracle, is sacrificed to the deities and
devils as a solemn offering.
In Japan the symbolic girdle, so much
more expressive than our simple we'd
ding ring is the outward sign Of mar
riage, while in Burma the piercing Of
the ears is the prelude to matrimonial
considerations.
In Malay. however, the poor bride
experiences bad quarter Of an hour
before her marriage, inasmuch as she
has to have her teeth filed down almost
to the level Of her gums, a process
piteously painful as well as disfiguring.
In spite Of this pain, however, she is
expected to participate in the wedding
dance and festivities generally.-Lon.

Nurses and the Clergy,

A prominent London clergyman, In
referring to the fact that the tendency
to encourage the visitation by the cler.
gy Of the sick in acute cases Is less than
it was, remarked that this is probably
one of the results of the more careful
system Of modern nursing, which lays
stress on the Importance of keeping the
sickroom quiet. The old idea was that
the friends Of the sick person should
be allowed to crowd into the room.
Now the nurse shuts them out, with
good results in the main. The nurse
has, therefore, become an exceedingly
powerful force in regulating the ar
rangements Of the modern household
when there is Illness in the home, and
it often practically rests with her. more
than with the doctor, to determine
whether the patient shall be visited by
the parish priest"

Curious Chinese Playing Cards.

A pack of Chinese playing cards is a
genuine curiosity. They are generally
printed in black on thin cardboard, the
average width and breadth being about
that Of the finger of human being. In
some cases they are only half an inch
broad and about three and half inch
es in length. The length, no odds what
the size, is always at least six times
that Of the width. Some Of the packs
have queer representations Of our
kings" Queens" and "knaves" stamp
ed upon them in black. Others are dec
grated with the figures of animals,
birds and fishes. Those used by man
darins and high officials bear only fg-
ures Of NEUROLOGICAL creatures.
