tween Rapid City and Denver have
been placed as follows: Firs-class,
$1.14; second, 80 cents; third, 81
cents; fourth, II cents; A, 81 cents;
B 40 cents; G, 40 cents D, 36k
cents; e, 24h cents. This is a
sharp reduction netting 81 cents on
first two classes, 2 Scents ON third
class and 30 cents on fourth class.
BY this reduction the Crouch Lines
are making Rapid City the distribut-
ng center.

NEWSY NOTES OF THE WEEK
Local Items Concerning People and
Events Happening During
the Week.


Those having knowledge of So
ciety items will confer n favor by
calling up phone lao, or by paying
us q personal visit. This will hc
appreciated by both The Union and
Its editor.
Many women and some men have
a supreme faculty of attracting to
themselves and their interests a band
OF adoring satellites to whom &c
task Is too stupendous, If the goddess
Tor god) will but give the ambrosial
nod. To the ninety-nine out OF every
hundred to whom this gift is denisd
the methods used by the successful
satellite atfacher are yelled mysteries
not to be understood by the lay
brother. OF course there is a cer-
tain subtle charm with which soma
people are born, a sort Of gold spoon,
as it were, which draws all men to
them as a magnet, but for the most
part, to be very popular, one must
submit to be very much bored at
times, and to have little time to de-
ye!ob individuality. There is such
q thing as being too much in demand
and those of us who are not very
much so, may take comfort from the
realization that we do not have to
listen to the burble of the world in
general, but may pick and choose,
and develop along our own particular
lines. If we do this we will not have
the attention of the majority but we
may be almost as happy as that much
envied majority.
