Aguinaldo, who is now about 80
years old, first came into fame in 1896
when he led the revolt of his country
men against Spanish rule. Thereafter
he was constantly active as an insur-
gent until America conquered Spain,
~whereupon he took up arms against
the ~nquero and caused this coun-
try far more trouble than M~ontojo
caused Dewey until he was finally cap
tured by Funston. Aguinaldo, it is
said, had been a close tudent of the
life of Napoleon and was credited with
an ambition to be a military leader
such as vas the Little Corsican.'

Accidently Shot.

Harry Lucus, a young lad, son of Mr..
Melvin Lucus, shot himself by accident
on the 25th and died almost immediate
ly. From what details we have been
able to procure, it was about as follows
Tie father and SON were driving in a
wegon near the ranch, about three miles
portheast from Pringle. The boy, thir-
teen years old, carried gun. The boy
was sitting in the back part of the wa
gon which ran into a deep rut and in
some way the gun vas discharged. The
father hearing thesound inquired, what
was that Harry ?" and the son replied,
papa l am shot. The team was stopped,
the boy got out without assistance laid
down on the ground and in few mom-
ents expired. The father carried the
boy to the house and the coroner at Gus
ter was notified and with his jury drove
to the ranch and they made their inves-
tigation. The ball entered about the
middle OF the abdomen and ranging up
wards cut an artery and death is suppos-
ed to have resulted from inward hem
orhage. Such cases are sad to relate and
cause shock to friends and neighbors
who live in that section ofcountry. The
sympathy of this community is extend.
ed to the bereaved parents in this their
hour of grief and mourning.

ton have taken alarm at law passed
by the last Legislature limiting the num-
ber of saloons to one for each 800 of
population. 1t will be of interest to
many such towns to know that at least
two licenses may be granted regardless
of population. The text of the law fol-
lows:
Be it Enacted by the Legislature Of the
State of South Dakota:
Section |. In townships and incor-
porated towns and cities not exceeding
one thousand inhabitants. as determined
by the last state or federal census, where
in by vote of the people permission is

more than one license shall be granted
to sell Intoxicating liquors, for each
three hundred, or major fraction thereof
of population residing in such township,
incorporated town or city as shown by
such last federal or state census; provid.
ed that in each such township, incorpor-

A PROSPEROUS SUMMER.

The general welfare of the Black Hills
means prosperity for every town, village
and farming district within its area; and
80 it is that the various undertakings
and improvements of various kinds,
which will be seen in the Hills during
the coming season are of interest TO
everyone. While our mineral wealth
has always been our greatest and most
striking asset, yet this is not entirely a
mining country, but rather one which
has many and diversified interests.
This coming summer will see the COM
pletion of what has been the dream of
the Black Hills for almost thirty years,
direct railroad communication. Those
of us who are becoming amateur histor-
ians by reason of a long residence, can
remember when the only barrier, so it
seemed to us, to such an undertaking
was securing the right-of way across the
Indian reservation. That barrier was
long since removed, but as roads had
then built in from the south there SEEM
ed no immediate need of further rail-
roading. But the development of the
farming land lying between the Missouri
river and the Hills, and the awakening
of the eastern part of the state to the
value of direct communication with the
Hills, finally led to the extension Of both
the Northwestern and the Milwaukee
roads. July should see these lines in
operation. That will mean a great in
flux of settlers to this section. Not only
will the farmer, anxious to file on his
land, make his way westward, but the
mechanic knowing of chances of en-
ployment, the manufacturer seeing great
openings, now that a market is supplied,
within reasonable distance, and the cap
italists, hitherto unknowing concerning
the great resources of the western part
of the state, will all flock towards the
country of the Hills.
Before the close of the year, water will
be turned onto some of the land under
the great irrigation project near Belle
FourChe. This will mean both increas
ed interest in this part of the country,
and more and better farming. There
will be, even by another twelve months,
a yield from this valley that will give a
great impetus to manufacturers, com.
merce and stock raising
The action of the government in offer
ing for sale at reasonable prices the in
sect infested timber should result in a
large amount of profitable work being
done during the coming summer by the
saw mill men, whose occupation, Othello-
like, has seemed of late years to begone.
There will be a great revival of this
business and it is easy to see what this
will mean TO us all.
Further improvements now under way
at the Homestake mean employment
for more men, while new strikes being
made in different mining districts to-
gether with the development work and
mill building going on, insure activity
and prosperity among our mining inter
ests.
The Black Hills is facing the best per-
iod of its existence. They used to say
of us that we we're the best next year
country" in the world. We have at last
outsrown that, and now We are a this
wear land. Watch this summer-Pion-
eer.Times.

Sylvan Lake Leased,

Mrs. Sadie II. Lynch of Custer has
leased the popular resort known as Syl-
van Lake, together with the hotel, and
all the appurtenances thereunto belong
ing. She will take possession on the
first of May and will be the feigning
hostess for this season, and perhaps many
more. 1t is the concensus of opinion
among the business men of Custer, that
Mrs. Lynch will make an efficient and
popular landlady, and the guests who
place themselves in her care will be well
provided for.
Sylvan Lake in itself, surrounded as it
is by the most wild and picturesque
scenery Of the Harvey range, Is one of
the beauty spots of the American con-
tinent. 1t is conceded by all who have
visited it as being the most charming
and pleasing of all the pleasure resorts
of America. Not so grand, gloomy and
awe inspiring as the Grand Canyon OF
the Colorado" not so stupendous and
massive as the yosemite" but charm
ing, that's the word. Mrs. Lynch, from
what we know of the lady, has the busi-
ness taste and ability to look after the
many details of an establishment of that
kind, while her queenly grace and kind.
~ disposition, will render her guests at
once comfortable aud at ease while so
journing IN her house. The old Her.
mits welcome is what people appreciate
who visit place of this kind.
Come weary traveller from life's hot
and dusty highway. come into my cool
green grotto. Here on this mossy bank
fling all thy weary cares, and rest one

Hartman. He characterizes him as a

But honest intentions are not all OF wis

sioners that the freight rates on all lines
have been reduced about 10 per cent.
The commissioners are receiving much
credit for their action and it is probable
that this praise is well bestowed. The
railroads cannot say that this will bank

dividends declared would give the lie to
any such statement. They have been
making SO much money that they are
only doing half that the business OF the
