While Others SweIter.

4 Mighty fine to be living out here in
the Black Hills, when the sun has
chased the mercury almost out Of the
top Of the tube, isn't it? And it
seems especially a case for tllanksgiv-
ing that our lot has not been cast with
the denizens of the baking, sweltering
big cities in the east. Nothing very
much to attract one to Chicago or
New York these days, with the wires
loaded with paragraphs such as these:
Hundreds Frustrated, Forty bodies
in the mogue, more. there now in New
York city than have been since the
General Slocum disaster" /" ''St. Louis
bakes in the rays of torrid SUM-
Where indeed is there anything to be
found in the big cities to cause any
Black Hitler to nourish a desire to be
where the very street reflects the pitt
less glare of the fiery orb poised in
the leaden sky above.
Who would care to exchange the
grand, cool nights Of the Hills, insur.
ing refreshing slumber, for a night iii
one of the eastern metropolis where
the shades Of evening but change the
terrors of the day into creatures whose
shapes are more grotesque and awful
| in their sable cloaking?
Not envy, but thankfulness that oul
lot has been cast here and not there
should animate all hearts. And there
should be room, too, for a need of pit,
that shall make us more deserving ol
lives having been cast in such pleasant
places. Deadwood Telegram.

The Carnival Pleases.

The Cash & Hine Carnival company
has been holding forth in this city all
week. The attractions take up lit
tie over a block of the street, allowing
little room for teams. The shows
presented are above the mediocre and
pleased the people, some of the acts
being especially good. The patronage
especially in the evenings has been all
that could be desired on an excessively
hot week and right in the busy hary-
est time when people from the coun-
try cannot attend. The management
has taken great pains in securing tai
ent, presenting clean, moral shows.
If desire to please and amuse will win
Cash s. Hine shows have the neces.
sary article and deserve success.

THE SOLDIERS WERE HERE
Several Troops from Fort Robinson
Reached Here Thursday on a
sTwenty-One-Day Trip.

Five hundred soldiers from Fort
Robinson, Neb., filed into Rapid City
Thursday afternoon and went into
camp, having made the trip here from
Hot Springs. At several places in
the hills they found them too steep for
the horses to climb handily,f so the
men dismounted and walked up them.
They will probably remain a few days
and may give a drill before leaving on
their 2l-day trip. They have now
been absent from the fort ten days
and have eleven more before return
ing. The troops were soon followed
into town by the pack train, there
being twenty pack mules and several
mule teams llitched to freight wag.
ons. Tt was pleasing sight and gave
one an idea Of the personnel of tie
standing army. The boys are a good
looking lot, Of excellent physique,
showing the training required by the
government. They are dressed for
the trip in olive-colored khaki suits
which look much more suited to the
hot weather than the regulation blue
of few years ago.
In equipment each man carries at
tached to his saddle a pair of saddle
blankets, blanket and slicker, tent
with extra clothing in a roll thrown
over the saddle bags. They are armed
with late model Springfield 3O-calibre
rifles and 38-calibre revolvers, holster
and belt. The rifles use; a new kline
of explosive and small steel projec
tiles capable of penetrating an incl

The following is an outline of the
most important provisions Of the new

IfRoad Is Built. 1t Will Mean Much
to Rapid City-Section Rich
est In the State.

The prospects are Rapid City will
have another and possibly two more
railroads in the near future, coming
from the northeasterly direction
lrough most of the White Owl coun-
try. The name Of this new road is a
matter OF conjecture SO far, those in
possession of definite information
maintaining a dignitied silence. The
first information Of the, prosp ctiye
road was brought to the city Tuesday
by David Bennett, who resides on Elk
creek, twelve miles northeast of Rap
i'd City. In'conversation with o rep
resentative of the Union he stated
that the Great Northern road from
Manitoba had party Of surveyors
working this way with the intention
of going through Rapid City to Zen.
yer and Galveston, SO as to fern {:
connecting link with coast line. Ii,.
towns this new line will tap ar. no..
known, but it is understood it VIII.
lead direct through here from Bis
marck, N. d..
Mr.. Bennett states that one of the
companies offered him $4,000 for his
ranch of 160 acres, which offer he has
refused, as it is his belief the property
is, or soon will be worth more money.
His farm is near where it is proposed
to locate town site, coming very
close to the junction of the two roads,
both roads now being in the course of
building and surveying. Elevators
are promised the farmers in that vi
cinity and a depot will be located.
The new road from Manitobais is now
making an effort to secure 400 men
and teams with desire to rush con-
struction as rapidly as possible.
A railroad tapping the country to
the northeast has long been desired
for the benefit of the business inter
ests of this city. The White Owl
country is reputed to be the richest
and most productive of any west of
the Missouri river, and once traversed
by railroads would be an exceptional
section to furnish trade to Rapid City.
Tt looks as though the roads were to
tap llsections of country west Of the
Missouri river, getting in position to
handle the business that is needed in
productive country

history. The sod corn is said to be
exceptionally good, and will probably
average about 30 bushels an acre.
Corn on old ground will SO much bet

WONDERS
DISCLOSED
Beautiful Cave Located Near
Rapid City Proves of
Much Interest.
OWNER GOT THE CLAIAS FOR ONLY sl4.00
Another Finds Twenty-Acre Deposit
of FuIler's Earth on His Land--.
Offered sts per Ton for 1t.

Charles Maddox and H. III. Bray
man, who have claims adjoining with.
in a mile and q half of Rapid City,
ere peculiarly fortunate. A few days
ago they were looking for locations
for fruit farms and chanced to VISIT
the land office. There it was discov-
cred that some fourteen years ago the
lands had been filed on by Mrs. Carrie
Van kuran and Miss Ella Rankin,
who had never proved up OH them.
The men at once filed on them and
since then have discovered they have
possessions of more value than at first
anticipated.
A BEAUTIFUL CAVE.
The first time Brayman visited his
possession he discovered an opening.
in the ground and since then has ex-
plored it to a distance of 1000 feet.
The opening to the cave is about six
feet square and descends twelve or
fourteen feet into the earth through
narrow passage sufficient for a man
Of ordinary height to walk upright.
From there the passage way is of va
rying sizes but at no time so small it
is impossible or difficult to walk So
far as explored, there are no less than
five chambers of varying size, the
largest so by $50 feet and fully 20 feet
high. This forms a beautiful room
filled with delightful dry pure air
which is quite cool. The floor is level
and the walls handsomely frescoed by
nature, with crystals some of which
are coated with q limey substance
which has percolated through from
the top, resembling icicles in form.
On the floor there are many stalag-
mites rising symetrically to fifteen
Inches in height. Another chamber
l,of perhaps 20 by 16 feet, of about ten
feet in height, is encrusted with a
formation of rock CRYSTALS, pure white
and glistening like diamonds. Other
chambers have been found which pos
sess peculiarly interesting character
istics, all Of which will make the cave
4 a rival of the famous wind cave neal
i Hot Springs. The work of explora,
j tion will continue and in all proba.
lbility the cave will be made an at.
traction for all visitors.
FIND FULLER's EARTH.
4 Maddox, in ininyestigating his claim
was attracted by a peculiar looking
tract, and found it to be a very gooc
|quality of what is known as Fuller's
earth. Specimens have been sent tc
lSwift & Co.'S chemists for analysis
A land reports have been received that
4 it is Of the quality used in purifying
Il lard and other oleoginous substances
Swifts have agreed to pay at the ratt
J. of S18 ton for the earth delivered tx
them, and arrangement are being
made to ship same in car load lots

Receipts fo, State Irvine Plant.

Receipts for State Twine Plant.
Pierre, S. D., Aug. 90 The twine
plant at the penitentiary turned into
the state treasury sl9,2s3 in July.
While it is not. likely, the receipts
for this, first years operation, will
show a profit, the product is making
good, and before another year has
closed it is probable that the plant
will pay not only all expenses of oper-
alton, but return profit to the state
beside.

Hundreds of thousands of stur-

ian Peasantry, are coming here to
begin at the foot of the good old
American ladder and to climb up
in the same old way. At present
it must be admitted they are not
popular among the races who
arrived earlier. They know how
to earn money, we say, but not
how to spend it. They show little
desire for education and refine
ment. They are not "gOOd mix
ers." They herd together and re-
main aliens, plucking the ripe
fruit of a civilization which they
did not create. All this is said
today Of the Italians as it was
said years ago Of the Germans and
the Irish. 1t is the criticism that
