NEW TRAIN SERVICE SOON
Train Between Rapid City and This
Place an Assured Fact.

The following article we clip from
the Deadwood Pioneer-T Times of April
9th, and which may be of Interest to
our readers. The new train spoken of
between this place and Rapid City is
an assured fact and will be put on in a
very short time Our local North
western agent, w. D. Rine, deserves
much credit in this matter as it was
principally thru his efforts that Hot
Springs will get this new train
service:
"a special train was run to Bald
Mountain yesterday afternoon, leaving
here at two and returning at $40, for
tho purpose of taking q number of the
Northwestern officials over the road
on tour of inspection.
The noon passenger had brought in
Il. Nj. Costley, division uperintendent,
j. Leppla, assistant uperintendent,
w. p. MacFarland, assistant superin-
tendent of telegraph at Omaha, aud
James Hasburgh, roadmaster. Accom-
panied by n e. Benjamin, locsl agent
the party made an inspection of the
Bald Mountain branch of the road,
Mr.. MacFarland and Mr. Hashurgh
went down the road last evening, but
Mr.. Costley and Mr.. Leppla remained
until today.
1t is stated that new time card will
go into effect on this lewiston about
the middle of next month. Among
the changes which this contempates
will be a later leaving hour for No 6,
the east bound passenger. Instead of
departing at six as has been the Gus
tom for so long, it will not leave until
between G:l5 and $50 The intention
is to shorten the running time between
here and Omaha, and hence the west
bound passenger will leave Omaha
from an hour to an hour and three
quarters later than it does at present,
arriving here at about the same hour.
Another change which has been
practically agreed upon, will be the
running OF another daily to Hot
Springs. This has been talked of for
some time but is now almost a certain
ty The idea will be to run the Pierre
train which now spends the day at
Rapid, on to Hot Springs, arriving
there at about 10 O'clock and leaving
Ia the afternoon at about five in order to
return to Rapid to connect with the
Pierre and Milwaukee trains and reach
this city at 9:35. This will be one of
the greatest improvements in the train
service which the Northwestern could
introduce and such train would be
much appreciated and would be a
great convenience to people who de-
sire to run down to Hot Springs for a
day, in the summer, but who cannot
spare the time to spend two days.

BISHOP RESIGNS.

Resigns on Account of Poor Health.
Rt Rev John Stahira, bishop of the
diocese of Lead sent I'm his resigna-
tion some time ago to the Pope at
Rome and received word that it was
accepted. Bishop Stahira has made
his home at this place for some time
in the hepe of benefiting his health
which has been very poor for the past
few years. His diocese has been one
of the largest i'm the west and one
hard to travel thru. 1t comprised all
the southern part of the state and in
cludes in its boundaries all of the
Indian reservations, so that much of
his travel has been by wagon or on
horseback. Since his appointment he
has never failed to visit every section
and the hardships endured have been
means of Undermining his health
Bishop Stahira was consecrated
bishop in ST. Paul during October 1902
and was appointed Immediately after
his conservation as bishop of the dio-
cese of Lead and has since resided in
that place until recently. During his
work in this section he has done much
toward the upbuilding of his church
and has scores of friends all over the
l1llis IN every denomination. He left
this morning for ST. Paul and will
leave there about the middle of Nav
for points i'm Europe There he will
take complete rest and it is to be
hoped, will fully regain his health.
Since his residence here he has made
a host of friends who will regret to
learn of his resignation and departure
from here

NEW SETTLERS ARRIVING
Fall River County Fast Settling up
With Eastern People.

Nearly every train from the east
brings IN from one to a dozen cars of
Immigrant goods into this county and
in fact all over the Black Hills. This
tremendous influx of people demon
strates that times here in the Hills are
anything but dull Old settlers state
that more people by half have come
into the county this spring than at any
one season previous. Not only are the
lands in the newly irrigated region
calling forth great attention, but there
is great movement in favor of dry
farming. Much has been accomplished
in this line and there are still great
openings in this part of the state for
those who wish to engage in such en-
terprises.
More people came into the county
during the month Of March than any
month previous. lhe Northwestern
alone hauled two hundred and five
cars to Oelrichs and north. Thirty
three Of these we're unloaded at the
above named place, eighteen at Buffalo
Gap, Sturgis mad twenty niue cars.
Belle Fouche twenty-three and Rapid
City twenty With people coming in
at that rate during one month and
previous months neArly as good, this
will give some idea Of how immigra
tion is looking toward this country.
The new settlers coming in nowaday
are in fair circumstances compared
with those coming here years ago. and
are ia position to farm the lands
along lines that will bring results.
This year promises to be record
breaker in the way of settling up this
country and in fact all the Hills

A funny incident occurred aboard
one of our big battleships. While at
anchor OF some large city a delega-
ton of ladies representing the W. c..
T. Z. came aboard and were much In
terested in all they saw. One of the
visitors, spying the 0hit box for the
wine mess, which was fastened up in
the ward room. inquired what it was.
A young officer, being facetiously in
clined and not for one moment suppos
ing that his joke would be taken seri-
ously, told her it was box for foreign
missions and that the officers were al
ways glad to have all those who came
aboard contribute. Nothing more was
thought of the matter till the end of
the month. when the box was opened
and, to the astonishment of all, was
found to contain $3.50. The dilemma
was overcome by sending check for
the amount, together with a letter OF
explanation, to the secretary Of the
navy requesting that he have it for
warded through the proper channel tc

especially well qualified by successful
experience to speak upon some par
ticular phase Of agriculture,
