Buildings and machinery Burn.

Last Sunday while Chas. F. Johnson
and family were visiting with neighbors
some two or three miles away, and ut
terly unconscious of the destruction of
property being wrought at home by fire,
it is easy to imagine their surprise and
CONSERVATION on reaching home that
evening to find their smokehouse, gran
ary, chicken house and wagon and ma
chine shed mere heaps of smouldering
ruins, together with their contents, con-
sisting of meat, grain, wagons, three
sets of harness, two mowers, hay rake,
etc. This was certainly severe loss to
Mr.. Johnson. The fire, it is thought,
caught from a smouldering fire left in
the smok ehouse. Hustler.

NEW TELEPHONE TAXATION.

The telephone companies doing busi-
ness in South Dakota will find them
selves on different taxation basis from
this time on, under provisions of the
new law fixing the manner of their
assessment. Up to the present taxes
have been levied against the telephone
systems of the State at fiat rate equal
to the average assessment over the State,
and have run from 26 to 2S mills an
nually on the valuation placed upon the
companies by the State Board. But
from this time on the assessments against
such property will be local and the COM
panies will be called upon to pay the
same taxation rate upon their property
as do other property owners in the diff
ferent taxing districts in which they
operate. That is. in town they will be
taxed at just the same rate as is other
in that town; aud In the coun-
try districts, whatever property they
own within a separate taxing district
will pay the same rates as all other
in that district.

THE GRADUATING ExERc1sEs.

The opera house was we'll filled Thurs.
day night by the parents of our public
school children to witness the gradual.
ing exercises.
The Graduating Glass of 1911, compos-
ed of Miss Mabel Graham, Glenn Jones,
Edward Rogers, Mark Jones and Arthur
Shoemaker, each recited their assign.
ments admirably showing that they had
thoroughly studied their subjects that
they might express themselves in COM
prshensivs manner from their view
points. The singing by the Young La
dies Chorus was excellent.
The regular speaker failed to arrive so
Hon. Ed. L. Grantham was pressed in
to service and made a short address,
equally interesting to the class and the
audience. He was followed by Mrs. X.
W. Powell, whose remarks were more
especially directed to the students. They
were instructive and should be cherish
ed by the Glass of 1911, through their
life journey.
Z. c. Anderson, as President of the
Board of Education, in few we'll chosen
remarks presented each member their
diploma. Thus closed their course of
study in the Custer Public School.
The parents of the graduating class of
1911 may we'll feel proud of the achieve
ments of their chiIdren ur,on such on
occasion.

Handbags.

The latest in handbags consists in bags
of really enormous size. They are made
mostly of heavy eobelin tapestry and
frequently embellished with large taosels
and fringes. They are 80 large that it is
almost out of the question to carry them
with the hand for any length of time,
they being also much too heavy, partly
on account of the material used, partly
because of their contents. They are,
therefore, carried by means of heavy
tapestry cord which is slung around the
neck or over one shoulder.--Omaha

BLACK HILLS AND SUMMER.
United States Marshal Seth Bullock
Says Advertise This Section.

II have been trying for several years
to induce the business men of Dead wood
to advertise their city and the Black
Hills as summer resort" says United
States Marshal Seth Bullock to report
er for the Lead Call, while seated in
front of the Franklin hotel in Deadwo
few days ago, ''and am Of the opin-
ion, still, that they could make no better
investment.
Thousands of people living in the
eastern part of this state, journey hum
dreds of miles every year and settle
down by the shore of some mosquito in
tested and stagnant lake in Iowa or
Minnesota, on what they call vaca-
ton.
"At such resorts there is little to do
except swelter in the heat during the
day and long for breeze, which when
evening comes, may rise and cool off the
atmosphere and may not.
''If these same people would come to
the Black Hills, they would have beau
tiful lake resort at which to rest for any
length of time they chose, Sylvan Lake.
They would have bathing at Hot Springs,
the very best bathing to be had in the
west, they would have trout fishing in
Speartish canyon, the best sport to be
had this side of Colorado or the Adiron-
dacks, and they would have scenery, the
finest in the world.
"The four elements which 60 to make
a summer outing more delightful than
all else, are here in the Black Hills and
the people of the eastern part ofour own
state and the western part of neighboring
states do not know it, because the truth
has never been told them.
'It seems to me that the several COM
mercial clubs in the mountain cities of
the Black Hills are wasting lot of val.
liable time in failing to associate them
selves together for the purpose of telling
the world about the rarely inviting sum-
mer resort, which lies in the Black Hills
section of South Dakota.
"One day from the baths at Hot
Springs and the boating at Sylvan Lake
to the trout streams ofSpearfish canyon,
is a short time and the railroads which
have lines in this section will be found
ready to join hands with we Black
Hills people, in any effort we may make
to turn the tide of excursionists toward
this most favored section of the middle
west"

RESOLVED, That we acknowledge the
wisdom and goodness of our Supreme
Grand Master, and bow in humble sub

Supreme Grand East; yet we mourn
the death of our Brother as of one whom
we shall never meet at the altar of Ma
sonry until we gain admission unto the
Celestial Lodge on high, where he has
preceded us; and we deplore his loss to
the fraternity, to his family and friends,
and to the community in which he
lived. He was just and upright Ma

honorable and useful citizen, sincere
friend, courteous and obliging neigh
Dor, a man who endeavored always to
perform every duty-to his country, his

RESOLVED, That in token of our sim
cere friendship and sympathy in the
dark hour of this great afffiction, and as
a pledge of our fidelity to the memory
of our deceased Brother, we extend to
the bereaved widow and children the
fraternal right-hsnd of Free and
Accepted Masonry; and with the assur-
ance that the Great Light, given of God
to man, will guide them to that spiritual
building, eternal in the Heavens, where
the loved ones now dwell, where the
broken circle shall be reunited never
again to be parted, and where they shall
dwell together in peaceful happiness
forever and ever.
RESOLVED, That these resolutions be
recorded on the memorial page of the
records of the lodge, and that the Sec.
retary deliver a copy thereof to the
widow and family of the deceased, and

Obscure the view.

Last Sunday evening the writer went
to church and from the first of the min
ister's sermon to the last caught but one
glimpse of the speaker, the reason being
the immense hat on the head of the
lady in front. In the east there is con-
siderable attention being given the sub
ject of ladies taking of their hats in
church as we'll as in the theatre, and
they certainly ought to do 80 or else
wear something sensible on their heads.
1t is also being advocated that if they
will not take off their hats then let the
men sit on one side and the women on
the other, so that the view of the unof.
Tending members need not be obscured.
1t is singular that as otherwise unselfish,
kind and altogether lovable woman will
wear merry widow hat at church and
keep it on when she knows that the one
behind her cannot see a thing in front
because of that hat. Cannot sentiment
be aroused into an improvement along
this line ?-Rapid City Journal.
