consisting of manganese steel safe,
large desk and other furniture. The

broken and new one having to be or
dered in its place. He got the desk and
and other furniture placed in the room

building-the room formerly occupied
by the Maxon bauk-and returned to

Work on the Goldfeld group, situated
about ten miles west from Custer is pro-
crossing with excellent prospects OF
making a grand mine in that locality.
The shaft on the Wandering Boy is down
65 feet and much of the ore is thickly
sprinkled with fine free gold. Dan Nc
Gonigal is superintendent and Frank
Beadle is his efficient foreman. Mr.. r.
&. Gillespie, who holds a bond on the
property stands back of the enterprise
and sees to it that the necessary funds
are not lacking to push the project to a
perfect success. Mr.. G. is not an easy
gutter. He is after a gold mine, has
spent good deal of money in this dis
trict, and the CHRONICLE hopes he will
find a good one.

A very severe storm visited Custer on
the night of the 3rd, accompanied with
thunder and lightning to degree that
threatened danger and damage. How
ever the only casualty that resulted so
far as we have heard is the damage to
the central telephone Office in the store
of Mr.. Otto Munson. The electric ex-
plosion burned off the wires and set fire
to the building. The fire was extin-
guished before much damage was done,
but the telephone was put out of COM
mission for a time. New wire was pro-
cured from Pringle when in few hours
the necessary repairs we're made and
everything is now running smoothly
once more.

A great many people imagine they
have heart trouble when the fact is that
the whole trouble lies in the stomach.
The pains in the side around the region
of the heart are not necessarily heart
trouble. We suggest that you start with
the stomach and whenever you feel a
depression after eating or whenever
your food seems to nauseate take Kodol.
It will not be very long until all these
"heart pains" will disappear. Take Ko-
dol now and until you know you are
right again. There isn't any doubt
about what it will do and you will find
the truth of this statement verified after
you have used Kodol for a few weeks.
1t is sold here by all druggists.

understand, and one of these we en-

it loaded on to wagon preparatory to
being hauled and set up out in Tender

Above we print the two lists of Re-
publican candidates for state Office from
which are to be selected such names as
are to constitute the Republican ticket
which shall be submitted to the voters
of the State at the November election.
The sentiment in Custer county seems
to be very strongly in favor of the stall
wart ticket.
Kittredge for U. S. Senate has made
many friends during the recent cam
paign. His straightforward, candid and
forceful presentation of his views and
of his line of action while in the Senate
has convinced the voters not only of his
ability, but that he is a man Of sound
judgment and untiring energy. Mr..
Martins ability to work and to secure
results is a universally admitted quality
in him and no one hesitates to vote for.
Mr.. Burke, of Pierre, the other candi-
date for Congress is nearly as we'll
known in the Hills country as Martin,
he having served in Congress fora num-
Der of years. Even his political enc
mics fail to criticise his record.
The balance of the candidates for state
Offices with the exception of John F.
candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, are comparative strangers but
will no doubt secure their vote on strict
ly factional lines

Again We must call attention to condi-
ton Of our sidewalks. They are getting
faulty in many places and the cross
walks on Custer Avenue and Main street
needs immediate attention. The late
heavy rains which have prevailed for
the last two weeks while blessing to
the country in some respects has had the
usual effect of causing many washouts
and considerable damage to the town
and the country roads. These places
should be carefully inspected and
promptly repaired. 1t is economy to
keep the roads in good order and those
who have this business in charge should
see to it without delay.

cess they anticipate. From the many
