NEW SCHOOL FOR MITCHELL.

Mitchell-The educational facilities
of this city, which have always been
excellent through the Wesleyan un-
iversity and high school, will be furth-
er enhanced by the Catholic society.
The members of the church held a
meeting with Father c. f. OFlaherty,
who outlined the plan for creating
a fine educational institution under
the direction of the Catholic church.
The men assembled entered into the
proposed plan of the pastor with great
sincerity of purpose 10 erect a build
ing for academic schooling. The build
ing will be in harmony in architectural
design with the beautiful church
which has already been built by the
Catholics. 1t is estimated that the
structure will cost $4,000. A commit
tee Of twelve men was appointed to
raise the money to finance the enter
prise. The building will be divided
into two eooSioAa ON. caotion haing
intended TO contain school facilities
and modern equipment for two hun
bred pupils. The other will contain
the academic department for young
ladies, the teaching staff and the dor
mitories for 100 boarders. Some

olics started an educational institu-
ton here, but it was destroyed by fire
when it was half completed.

INSURANCE.

Yesterday the Christopher farm, a
quarter section lying east of the city
near Columbia passed into the hands
of the Ancient Order of United Work
men of South Dakota, the elimination
of a long story, in payment for insur-
ance which the order paid out for
Henry K. Christopher after the
courts declared him dead, following
a ten-year disappearance. Last spring
Christopher turned up again, and the
order began work trying to recover
the insurance, amounting to $4,000
which had be paid out to his moth
er, Bridget Christopher.
Ten years ago the young man left
for Fresno, Cal, and soon after dis
appeared, leaving no trace. His
mother then resided at Flint, Mich.
Time passed on, and the relatives kept
up the insurance in the Workman or
der, never thinking that the man
might return. At the expiration of
seven years, both the California and
the South Dakota courts declared
him dead and the insurance money
was paid to his mother.
Last spring the man reappeared in
California, and correspondence was
started by Grand Recorder Henry
Neill, trying to collect the money paid
out on the supposition that the man
was dead. Nothing came of 1t until
Charles r. Kimball, chairman of the
grand lodge finance committee Of the
order, made a trip to the coast, stop
ping at Tacoma, Wash. MI. Neill
wrote him there, asking him to go
&c Fresno, where Christopher was
stopping, and take the matter up
with him personally.
AS a result, the Christopher farm
OF n hundred and sixty acres, which
had been kept in condition during the
young mans absence, was decided
over to the order, making good the
loss sustained by the payment Of the
insurance. No explanation Of the dis
appearance OF Christopher has ever
been satisfactorily made.-Aberdeen

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous

so stiff and sore that it was difficult

kidneys were disordered, being too
frequent and painful in passage and

many cures that had been effected by

NEW INDUSTRY IN HILLS.

Custer-Within a few weeks a new
industry viii make its appearance in
this portion Of the Black Hills that
will furnish temporary employment TO
many men. women and children. 1t
is the season of the year when a
bushel Of pine cones bring more than
a bushel OF potatoes, although this
is not new in other states where the
forest reserve work has been carried
on longer.
Plans for the ~reseeding of the burn
ed and deyasted sections of the
Black Hills national forest are now
being laid by Supervisor Kelletter in
the northern half and Supervisor
lines of this section. This work next
year will be far more extensive than
ever before and consequently will
cost the government a far greater out
lay, but the result is expected to more
than pay for the cost in future tim
Der. This ~reseeding will require an
enormous number of seeds, which can
only be secured from the cones at
certain seasons of the year, and the
work Of gathering gives oppor-
tunity for many people to make a
considerable sum of money. The gov
eminent will pay 70 cents a bushel
for these if they are in good
shape and properly sorted and no
limit has been placed on the amount
to be purchased. II is estimated that
a wagon load of cones will be worth
from $50 to $40 and the government
figures ON spending upwards of $50
600 for the seed.
Arrangements are to be made at
Keystone, Hill City, Custer, Pringle,
Newcastle, DeadWood and other places
ia and around the Hills to receive
cones, and the forestry depart
ment is now encouraging persons out
OF work and those who want some
easy money TO seize the opportunity.
The must be carefully picked
as seeds infected by insects or other
wise damaged will not be accepted.
Resorting will be necessary when care
is not exercised in the gathering. They
must also be delivered unopened as
the seeds frequently fall out when the
cone spreads out and closed cones lie
closer III a bushel.
Squirrel nests are usually sought as
the most prolific source of supply.
as the little animals store them be-
fore the cold weather sets in and
gather them in large quantities and
a single nest is often worth from SIS
to So.
The forest officials are now expert
menting on the best method Of col
lecting cones, and when the time ar
rives instructions will be furnished to
all who propose to gather them.

No Time For Friendship.

In this busy busy life, how few OF
us find time to cultivate friendship.
The cares OF our families, our bust
ness, our profession; the struggle to
keep up with the times, up with our
neighbors, up with our competitors;
the worry and work and anxiety of it
all demand every moment Of or
time, and leave us none for our
frierdS. Why some of us hardly
know our own families! We are up
and away in the morning before they
are quite awake; we have no time to
return at noon; and the evening meal
finds us so weary and exhausted we
scarcely can notice anyone, or have
inclination to say anything, as we
hurry through IN silence and then
drag ourselves off to our Office or
store to finish up the odds and ends
which the close of our busy day has
found undone, and which we cannot
leave over another. And thus a-hfe
is spent; its cares and perplexities
keen!y felt, and its sweets but sell
dom met and rarely enjoyed: and the
question arises, is this all of life?
Are we making the best Oft.

Fl Barrett of Gulfport on the bench.
The jury list viii be drawn tomorrow
Saturday and next week the Sher
if and deputies will be busy scour-
ing the county summoning the ven
ire.
In a conversation with Clerk S. r..
Mckay we learn that the Criminal
Docket is quite light despite year
has elapsed since Circuit Court con-
vened. The last Grand Jury only
found nine indictments and the cas-,
es which have accumulated from Jus
tice Appeals and Preliminary Hear
ings, etc, while several in number,
are mostly misdemeanors and will be
soon disposed Of The Civil Docket,
however, is burdened as pro pably
never before in the history of the
county. The twelve months which
have interviewed since ID court was
held. coupled with the Panic after
math of delinquencies in payments,
has caused great clamor of suits
creditors especially non-resi-
d ents. The Clerk tells us but few
or the bills filed have been adjusted
of compromised and it looks like
most of them will have to 90 to tri-
al, but Judgment viii possibly be OBJ
tanned by default in large number
Of them. There are some other of
these civil causes that will probably
consume considerable time in trial.
The Clerk informs us he has about a
sack full of the cas- pouches.
