Cortelyou Sick and Sore.


Secretary Cortelyou did not at
tend the cabinet meeting Monday
and inquiry at his home brought
forth the information that he was
suffering from the grip. 1t has
been known though for several
days that Mr.. Cortelyou was on the
verge OF succumbing to the tremen-
dous strain he has been under for
the last two months, and his recent
public statement made under cir
cumstances which suggest that it
was the overflow of feelings long
pent up, is accepted as additional
evidence that his nervous energy
has been taxed almost to the limit.
Every day for the last two
months has added somewhat to~Mr.
Cortelyou's labor, anxiety and dis
tress. Long before the public gen.
orally expected the coming of a fl
nancial disturbance, Mr.. Cortelyou
had been warned Of impending
danger and he exerted every energy
to devise means to avert it. His
failure in that effort disappointed
him sorely. Failing to avert it, he
set to work with Herculean energy
TO minimize the consequences of it.
His measures have not had the
salutary effect he hoped for. Near
ly a month ago Mr.. Cortelyou was
assured that the banks were pre-
pairing to resume cash payments,
and with much qualification and
some show Of elation he appraised
the newspaper men Of that pro-
.pect. When pressed to name a
time, he said it might be expected
within two weeks. Meantime
criticism OF his measures grew into
q roar of protest and members OF
his own party were as censorions
in private conversations as were
his political adversaries. The allot-
inents of bonds and certificates of
Indebtedness We're suddenly stop
ed with no other explanation that
the situation liz clearing SO rap
idly as to make this emergency
measure superfiuous.
BY ilinehing from the criticism
Of congressman, Mr., Cortelyou is
said to have aroused the bankers
to retaliation. He found himself
between seylla and Charbydis.
The bankers wanted the whole
bond issue allotted, as well as the
certificates, while from Capitol
Hill Cortelyou heard nothing but
a swelling volume Of denuncialion.
Failure confronted him. Upon
top Of the distress thus occasioned
came the expose of the political
conspiracy, which had for its pur-
pose the nomination Of Mr.. Cortel-
yon to be president. Mr.. Cortel-
you is said to have suffered keenly
from the stories that were printed
and the rumors which they oceas
toned. He could not be persuaded
to utter a word, but friends close
to him have said that he felt sorely
humilited by the predicament into
which he had been put. Already
diminished and his nervousness in
creased prefeptibly within week
and now he feels unequal TO the
task of going to his desk in the
treasury. Elk

FAKES EXPOSED

Advice is costly. The other day
a man with eye trouble paid fee
OF $40 to the doctor, who told him
merely to stop smoking. That adj
vice was worth it to the patient,
and he paid it gladly, for he re-
covered his sight.
There is other advice that is
costly, but the recipients Of such
knowledge are usually not so pleas
ed. That is mail ORDER advice.
Did you ever read an ADVERTISE
ment in one of the little farm jour
nails or poultry magazine which
read something like this?--
~ can teach You how to double
your money in six months; abso-
lutely sure; send 80 cents for the
secret of how to double your
money"
In answer to this the shrewd
mail order man sends ont little
slip bearing the advice.
First have your money chang
ed into bills, then fold them care
fully, thus double your money"
One of the recent exposures Of
using the United States mails for
fraudulent purposes resulted
FIR ON his advertisement,
which appeared in scores of cheap
farnk magazines and mail order
journals:
Cure For Drunkards
Il have discovered an absolutely
sure cure for drunkards; / gave it
to my husband and he was cured
permanently in Que day; it is cer-
tain remedy and you will bless the
day that yon sent zoe 25c to pay

PRIMARY HURTS KIT.


Last year under the convention sys-
tenn, Minnehahs county with its power
ful delegate representation, practically
dictated the ticket. A number of coun.
ties with favorite sons, were holding
themselves in position to jump wherever
they thought the majority would line
up, and Minnehaha was considered to be
strong enough to swing the convention
either way. AS soon as that county lin
ed up with the insurgents all these coun-
ties went along and assured success OF
that faction. The people of the county
when asked to stand by senator from
that county said that the interests OF
Kittredge were not at stake in that cam
paign, and when they were they would
stand by him to retain a senator. Now
the strength of Minnehaha will not be
in such shape that it can be- used to
swing conventions. They only get the
strength of their vote, to be placed
against that of numerous small counties
with no one knowing where they will
land until after the work is done. They
cannot swing the senate and if Sioux
Falls is left without senator the frs,
time since statehood, the people of tha,
county can blame no one except them
selves for the fact, tor even under a 2ri
mary election system, with the prestige
of success in the last campaign they
would be in better shape to make fgh
for their man than they will under pres
ent conditions.

The number of candidates who will
try for state places at the first primary
election is likely to be large. While the
primary system can be manipulated JUS

w. ]. Longmore Hero.

w. j. Longmore, purchasing agent OF
the Westinghouse Electric & Manufac.
turing company, arrived in Custer on
the Sth and is spending most of his time
at the New York Mica mine. Mr.. L.
was accompanied by his son, w. j. Long
more, Jr., and Mr.. F. N. Meyer from
Denver, and the party will return to
Denver on Monday next. Mr.. Long
more's visit at this time is to inspect
the mines in which the company is in
terested, and he has spent some time in
looking at other mica mines adjacent to
Custer, but for what purpose we cannot
tell. There will probably be meeting
of the Custer Commercial Club before
his departure to ascertain the views,
wishes, and ideas in regard to the future
operations of the company.
1t is understood the company's busi-
ness is its own, but for the mutual bene-
fit of the company and the community
at large, it is well to have an under.
standing, as the company expect certain
things of the town and it is well to as
certain what they want. For instance
the company expect that our town peo.
pie will interest themselves to see that
the mica factory is supplied with what
help they need in the way of operatives
to run their factory.
We understand further that they de-.
sire to put in electric lights in the town
of Custer in the near future, and would
probably like to ascertain about the
amount of patronage they could depend
upon. These and some other things
will probably have to be discussed, and
while Mr.. l.. is here is the proper time
to do it. The town of Custer appre-
ciates the importance of the company as
factor in the welfare of the people in
this section, and it is the desire of the
community to cooperate SO far as they
can do so consistently.
From what we can learn there are
about thirty men employed at the New
York Mica mine and ten at the White
Spar, while there are at present about
56 operatives at work at the factory in
town. The school closed for the term
on the l4th and there will be all the
help available that will be needed, and
there will be no occasion for the COM
pany to say that they cannot obtain all
the operatives they can employ.

MINES AND MINING.

There is not much change in the min
ing department since last week, but all
of the available labor finds ready em
ployment in the different mines around
Custer at good wages.
The Ivanboe, Clara Belle, and Ideal
are driving ahead with good force.
The Saginaw is pushing the work in the
mine, and the mill building is going up
as fast as 20 men can built it.
The New York and White Spar mica
mines are both producing and adding to
their force from day to day. The in
stallation of machinery for the new
electric plant is progressing satisfactorily
under the supervision of the expert
mechanic, Mr.. Sweeney. But heavy
bodies move slow and it will
be some weeks yet before the whistle
| will blow in the mill.
THE CATAwAsA
shaft is being sunk as fast as ten men
can put it down but we learn from the
projectors McGonigal and Hazlett that
they are badly handicapped just now,
by an undue amount of water which is
flowing in nearly as fast as they can take
it out.
| THE NIAGARA
mine which is another enterprise being
pushed by these same gentlemen is max
ing good headway. This is said to be a
free milling proposition and the mine
is situated over the line in Pennington
county. Ten men are also employed on
this property. There is considerable
work going on in the district in the way
of development on gold and silver loca'
tions, and mines CT wolfram, mica and
ambligonite are being opened up.
NEW STRIKE.
The latest in the way of a new strike
of importance was made during the fore
part of the week by Mr.. James Dem
ereau, who Notwithstanding the many
disappointments which it has been his
lot to bear his courage has never weak
ened and his iron will knows no sucf
word as fail. This latest strike is CT
eight foot vein of white and blueist
granulated quartzite full Of fine streak'
of telluride and running high in gold
This location is called the Gold Ochre'
mine and as the vein is solid, vertica
and continuous it bids fair to develope
into bonanza. Thus far we do no
hear of anything doing in placer this
spring, and the excitement in blacl
sand has subsidized for the time being.

Secretary Taft will arrive in Rapid
City at l0:40 on the morning of the 18th
of June, where he will be met by an es.
cort of the prominent citizens of Rapid
and the band and given a suitable re-
ception. He will be accompanied by
Senators Kittredge and Gamble, Con-
gressmen Parker and Hall, and ex-Con-
gresham f. w. Martin. A letter has
been received at this Office announcing
the reception and inviting the citizens
of Custer to meet at Rapid to be present
on the occasion.
Mr.. Taft will address the people at
Rapid and proceed to Sturgis where he
will arrive at o'clock in the afternoon
and deliver a short address to the peo.
pie. Mr.. Taft will then inspect the Post
at Fort Meade and take the train for the
east on the evening of the 18th.
Special trains will run from Dead
wood and Belle Fourche TO Sturgis with
delegations from all points in the north
ern Hills to attend the reception at Stur-
gis.

at also showed the disbursements OF
this amount of money and the purposes
for which the same had been paid out.
From the report it appears that the
greatest difficulty has been experienced
in connection with the underground de-
velopment work, which has been carri-
ed on from the new shaft, which was
sunk vertically to a depth of $50 feet.
From this level about 500 feet of drift
ing has been done. In the old incline
shaft considerable amount of ore bad
been extracted and at the point where
the vein was left it was of considerable
size, being in places as thick as 10 feet
and narrowing in places to 8 feet, but
being of considerable width and having
good values. The vertical shaft was
sunk about 250 feet distant from the
place where ore had been left in the old
workings, and it was fully expected that
this vein would be encountered in the
drift within $50 feet from the new shaft.
This was not done, however and fur
ther surveys have been made and the
course OF drifting has been changed and
confidence has been established that at
the present time we are within a short
distance of the main ore vein. For the
last $50 feet the drift has been in quartz,
which has varied from to three feet in
thickness, carrying fair values and being
of a character similar to the veins that
were found in proximity to the large
vein in the old workings"

Hicks on June Weather.

From the 18th to the 18th will be one
of the most decisive turmoil" seasons
Of the whole month, according to Prof
Hicks. Low barometer, humidity and
excessive heat will be followed by vio-
lent and dangerous lightning storms in
which the destructive winds will reverse
all their usual directions and blow from
anywhere and everywhere.
The next storms will occur about the
22nd and resemble those just mention
ed excepting that there will be local
rain deluges in wildly separated sections
and wind vortices of great destructive.
ness.
The last of June storms will occur
about the 9th, during which there will
be heavy rains, wind and thunder daily
for three or four days. Taking June
right through, Hicks says there are to be
unusual volcanic disturbances, earth
quakes, sun spots, aurorai displays and
all sorts of freakish earth currents thai
sailors especially had better pay atten
ton to.

structure will be built of Bedford stone.
This stone is used very generally by the
federal government in its large buildings,
and several states have used it in their
capitos. 1t is white stone, and the
new state house will be plainly visible
for long ways west of the river when
travellers come from the Black Hills. 1t
will be monument that the people of
the state will be proud of, and the citi.

selves that the perennial nightmare of a

The new structure will be fine home

safe resting place for valuable records
