AN altogether delightful play is
the universal sentiment of the immense
audiences which have witnessed the in
ternational suscess, Girl of the Streets"
which will be seen at Royal hail. Tues
day evening, April 23rd. The play has
been an instant hit this season and the
press of the surrounding towns is unan-
imous in it's praise. 1t has been given
metropolitan production in every respect
and no weak point is to be found either
in cast, scenery or costuming. The lat
ter has become feature of the attrac-
ton, and the gowns worn by the ladies
of the company, five in number, are said
to be most beautiful. The piece is brim
full of comedy and specialties. Seats on

The following poem, composed by a
friend, was read by Pastor Richardson
at the funeral services over the remains
of little Bonnie Harrison last Thursday
afternoon:
Our hearts are sad and lonely,
For our Bonnie has gone to rest;
Gone to Him who knows ALL
And does all for the BEST
How sad the hour Of parting,
Our hearts al wrung with pain;
How still and quiet our loved one
Who will never speak again
How still and quiet the home is,
Pressed with a weight of sorrow:
How sad and dreary today,
How cold and dark tomorrow.
We look into the cloudy future,
All happiness has fed;
For the one who made us happy
Now sleeps among the dead.
But when this span of life is rum
When we are laid at rest,
We will meet him bright and happy
In the region of the blest.

Erank Huff Killed,

We learn from Peter Rapp that his SON.
in-law, Frank Huff, of Edgemont, was
killed January 1, while clinging to the
outside of a switch engine which he was
taking to the round house, he being head
hostetler. 1t was after night and the
water tank car had been left standing on
the track, which struck him on the head,
crushing his skull.
The Edgemont Press, in reporting the
accident gives the following in reference
to the deceased:
Prank Huff was born December 2sth,
1875. He was married on December as,
1902, to Miss Maggie NJ. Rapp at Berwyn,
Nebraska. He came to Edgemont seven
years ago when he entered the service of
the Burlington, and by close attention
to business he has risen to his present
position as Head hostetler. He leaves a
wife and two children, Ruth, age 3 years,
and Helen, age months. His father
and mother are both dead, but he has
three brothers and eight sisters living,
he being the oldest one of the family.
The remains were shipped to Oxford,
Nebraska, for interment and were
followed by ths sincere sympathy of all
our people. Frank Huff was man
whom to know was to like. A member
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and the Odd Fellows. He was a
CONSTANT member of both. Devoted to
his family he thought nothing was TOO
good for them and he had just completed
his residence, making it one of the most
comfortable in the town. He was with
his family every minute he could spare
from his active duties and he was certain
ly true devoted husband and father.
Among men he was looked up to and re-
spected, courteous and obliging, ever
ready to help any one in need He
counted his friends by those he knew
His funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church on Friday morning
after which his body was shipped on A
for interment"

The republicans of the legisla-
ture are to be commended for the
prompt and decisive manner in
which they disposed of the
charges filed by the opposition
against Norris Brown on the eve
of the date of election of U. S.
senator. The same charges had
been made in the campaign and
fully exploded. 1t was the last
effort of the corporations to de-
feat his candidacy for the U. S.
senate and they secured the con-
sent of populist to introduce
the resolution. But let it be
said to the credit of the populist
party that five of the pop mem
bers of the Legislature voted
against it.

Complaint is made that the
federal pure food law has nc
inspectors to enforce its pro-
visions, and private individuals
must make complaints to the
courts in order to prevent abuses.
The moral effect of the new law
will be good, and if the people
want to know just what they are
buying, this public sentiment
will soon effect the reform
desired. 1t is declared by the
leading candy manufacturers of
New York that a pure article of
candy can be made for ten cents
per pound. Under these circum-
stances why should candy or any
food product be adulterated with
substances injurious to the
health2

J. B. Gilmore and J. E. Grint

J. B. Gilmore and J. E. Grint,
the two new members of the
county board got pretty we'll
initiated into the work at the
first session of the board and will
prove valuable members. Meth
er of them were candidates for
the Office ON their own account
and only accepted as matter of
loyalty.to their respective parties.
Both are prosperous farmers and
can not leave home to attend the
duties of their Office without a
personal sacrifice. They are just
the kind of men their constitu-
ents want. Take the board as
whole they will compare we'll
with the best board Custer county
has ever had. We predict an
economical administration Of
county affairs.

The newspapers are full OF
suggestions for new laws to be
passed by the Legislature. There
art enough laws now on the
statute book. What is most
needed is the election of men to
enforce them. The Legislature
could-if it would-perform a
wise and highly commendable
feat by passing an act to submit
to a vote of the people an amend
ment to the constitution provid.
ing that legislative sessions shall
be held not oftener than six years
except upon call of the governor,
for a special purpose.
