A FRONTIER MENU.

While examining old papers and
other documents which had occupied
a place in an old trunk for many
years, a resident Of Keystone, min
ing town in the Black hills, dlscov-
cred an interesting relic Of pioneer
days in the Black hills, in the form
of an old bill of fare.
The bill Of fare was issued by lit
tie frontier hotel-saloon at Rocker
vile and bears date Of May, 1875,
this being the palmy period Of the
gold excitement in the Black hills,
following the discovery Of the pre-
cious metal there. At that time
Rockerville was one Of the principal
gold camps" and was believed to be
destined to become a second Lead
vile or Butte.
The bill of fare is particularly in
teresting as revealing the prices
which the residents Of the "gold dig
gings" had to pay for the necessaries
of life during that early and excit-
ing period.
The bill of fare is as follows:

The government has accepted the

Engineers Davis and Henny con-

CARDINAL AGAINST D1sFRANcH1sEMENT

CONSERVATION seized the Democratic ranks Of Mary
land the other day when Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore
declared squarey against the constitutional amendment
designed to dsfranchse the Negro The amendment is
be submitted to vote of the people next fall The
campaign had hardly opened when the cardinal gave out
authorized interview in which he declared that the
amendment not fair to the colored race
Maryland tried disfranchisement by another amend
ment two three years ago. but it promptly voted
down because the who drew it had not succeeded
in limiting dsfranchsement to the Negro. Many promi-
nent Democrats fought the other amendment for they
found it would dsfranchse whites special effort
made when the amendment drawn at the last session
Of the legislature to produce agreeable to the
Democratic opponents of the former The Demo
Gratis thought the amendment would have compare
lively ''easy sailing" until suddenly and unexpectedly
Cardinal Gibbons declared against it in positive terms
This changed the situation noticeably.
A few weeks ago the Democrats of Maryland made
of certain remarks Of Presdenteect Taft to create
the impression that he favored the Maryland amendment
Shortly afterward Mr. Taft disappointed the Maryland
democracy by coming out squarely against the amend
ment in a letter written to William T. Stone collector
of customs and Republican state leader of Maryland
It is not as easy to pass a dsfranchisement amend
ment in Maryland it is states of the South having
larger Democratic majority. The vote has been close
in Maryland for twelve years The electoral vote cast
the other day divided. A constitutional amend
affecting the suffrage debated and discussed in
Maryland far than in states farther south For
this the opposition of Cardinal Gibbons is of great
moment.
Referring to the point that the Democrats object to
habit of Negroes of adherng the Republican party
the cardinal said the Democrats should offer the Negroes
inducements transfer their allegiance in whole in
part to the Democratic party The cardinal continued

Honorable b. c. Hughes of Seattle who served for

and the rural schools third class and different powers
given to the various boards Of directors.
Rural supervision is one Of the features of the
school law. This attempt the part of the com
