I saw a woman beg in the street Ou Christmas day for bread to eat; The city's chimes were ringing then Peace on earth, good will to men. I saw a churchman, sleek, wfeli-fed. Pass by the woman, and he turned his head; The crumbs that fell from his table that day Would hays feasted the begger he turned away. •Followlnc the churchman came A woman whose brow was stamped with shame; From'out of her purse a coin she cast, And the begger blessed her as she passed. To the church the sleek man went his way; The woman of shame would'bave blushed to pray; Yet which of the two the more blessed will be; Magdalen, scorned, or the proud Pharisee? —Chicago Tribune.

A very enjoyable evening was spent. There was a dance given at the Etta mine by the Hollenbecks. Quite a large crowd was present, and a good time was reported. Mr. Oettershagen moved down to his ranch last week, and surprised his cattle by gi\ ing them some hay. Anyone hav- ing weak cattle will please call on Robert for information. YOUNG SNOOZERS. D. P. Jackson for a portion of last week was out one of his fine mares, re- cently purchased. With the assistance of Mr. Zink he was hitching them to a wagon for a trial drive. One was left for a moment while he got the neckyoke from the Wagon and she made quick use ot the opportunity, running south with the harness on. Mr. Jackson followed on foot and spent several days in a fruitless search. The animal was finely heard from on Squaw creek, fifteen to twenty miles from home, where she had been taken up by a rancher. The har- ness was alright and the mare appar- ently none the worse for her run. Here- after D. P. Will hang to the halter. C. H. Mattoon believes in the Norman horse, not the little quarter-blood fellows, but the genuine full-blooded imported Normans. For the past two seasons he has owned a fine, large bay of the above mentioned stock, a horse which had few equals in the Hills. During the present week Mr. Mattoon has gone himself one better. He has purchased of George E Case, of St. Peter, Minnesota, the im- ported Norman stallion, Adalbron, No. 13796, the large black that has been on exhibition at the Ferguson stable. He is five years old and was imported by Mr. Case in 1888. The price paid was $2,000. Mr. Case also sold to Mr. Isabel a high-grade gray stallion forS^OO. Circuit Court.

Barrows has been seen on the atrcots during at least two days of the past week, an unusual occurance. He has been retained as a witness on the • case of McCracken versus Dqty, Mr. Barrows has began work on a residence at his ranch on the Box Elder slope. He expects to move his family to the claim the letter part of April. Mr. Howe has recently returned from an extended eastern trip; Chicago, Ster- ling, Illinois; St. Louis, Kansas City and Lincoln, Nebraska. While at Stirling, his former residence, Mr. Howe appeared against a party under arrest for steal- ing a horse and buggy from him while a resident of Sterling in 83. In this case Mr. Howe's strength of memory Btood a severe test. The party who stole the horse was apparently a hard laboring man, of dark complexion and heavy beard. When in company of six other prisoners, (six and one-half years from the time the offence was committed,) the prisoner was brought before Mr. Howe for identification, although he had been shaven and was pale from confinement, yet with very little dif- ficulty Mr. Howe picked his man, He was convicted and sentenced to hard labor for five years. Mr. Howe found that in the four years since he last vis ited Illinois, horses had depreciated twenty-five per cent in value and in- creased fully twenty-five per, cent in quality. He was so pleased with the stock that himself and son will import some twenty from that state to the Black Hills. They will be grade Norman and Morgan mares. The purchases made for his large harness store on St. Joe street were divided between Chicago and Lincoln. He was surprised in the growth of the the latter city and its business facilities. Mr. Howe admits that one object of his trip was to discover if possible a more favorable location than Rapid City, from a business point of view, but states that in nearly every section he viuted there was more or less complaint •of hard times and that all things con- sidered, the future of Rapid City over- shadows them all. LA VERNE LOCALS. Some of our weather prophets are predicting considerable Rainfall this spring. Hope their prediction may prove true. We hear that the redman has been amusing himself by taking down some of the shacks placed on the reservation, during the absence of the locator. The farmers in this vicinity are busy, for this season of the year, quite a num- ber are improving the pleasant weather by sowing wheat. L. P. Gould, we be- lieve, took the lead and others are fol- lowing. The .Star Literary society of Laverne will give a closing exercise in Prairie Queen school house on the evening of March 27th. We understand the pro- gram is a good one, and hoping they may have a full house and everything pass off creditably to the members of the society we await the result. We are still having more or less sick- ness. This time the families of A. B. McCain and D. If. Thompson are the afflicted ones. Charlie Thompson, age 11, has been ailing for some two months past, is now confined to his bed under the doctor's care. An older brother, Edward, was taken down with similar symptoms we believe, Monday, it is probably the la grippe. Rev. .Jennings was compelled, on ac- count of ill health, to close the series of meetings in Prairie Queen school house Iter the second evening and was not able to he present on .Sabbath for scr- ices. At present writing wo have not heard from his family but hope their sick- ness may not be serious and prove of short duration. OTA. 11. McCain's fam- ily, Merle, Jessie and their mother were all confined to the house for a few days but at last account were convalescing. .STAR GAZER. Born. On Wednesda3 r , March 5,1890, to the wife of E. F. Dunckel, an eleven-pound daughter. All doing well. The Lewi* Accident. Freeman Lewis favored this office with a call on Thursday last. In speaking of the accident to his son, Birdie, recently mentioned in THE UNION and other papers. He said that all reports were rather mixed. The wagon did not run over the boy, but the team when sud- denly stopped by the team in front backed off a bank, tipping the wagon driven by Birdie over. Fortunately Mr. Lewis, who was in the rear with a third team, had left out one sack of the upper tier, to make a safe place in which the boy could set. The load was turned upside down and the boy caught under it in a badly cramped condition, but saved from a sure death by the sacks on either side of bim. It took quite a time to release him and to his father's anx- ious inquiry, "Are you hurt?" he asked "Much wheat spilt?" Aside from slight strain and general soreness, which he felt for a day or two, he was alright. Mr. Lewis is now having a Beige of sick- ness in his family, wife and son being both down with pneumonia. A doctor was called yesterday. It is hoped it may not prove serious. Captain Gardner has been appointed to solicit donations from the residents of ;the Black Hills for eastern Dakota sufferers. In a recent communication he says: "Our neighbors of the east must ha^e help. If all will give a little the aggregate would be large. It will help to keep those farmers in Dakota this year, and let us hope that a good crop will re- ward their labors." two CHEYENNE IilVEIi NEWS. One of our ranchers lias lost horses from distemper. There are still many fine claims unoc- cupied in this partof Penningtoncounty. Also a few with timber and living water upon them. The boom has struck this region, and the school board of Lebanon township striving to keep abreast of the times. Notices are posted calling a meeting to vote for or against issuing bonds to build five school houses. The best claims on the reservation near the Cheyenne river are staked out, the greater part by old residents on the est side of the river- One locater passed over a valuable claim to look at other land and wassurprised, when he returned in four hours, to find it occupied, house built, stove set up and smoke arising from the chimney. Gray wolves are becoming bold. One followed Richard Mathieson two miles when driving on the prairie in a wagon, and approached several times within twenty feet. He will tempt fate if he again attempts to be sociable withDick, as he will henceforth carry tools to ac- commodate him, and few can send the leaden messenger of death with more certainty than he. At a meeting of Link alliance, Joseph Beem was elected president, Charles F. Ehlers secretary, S. D. Reed treasurer and delegate to the county alliance. The delegate to the county alliance for the past year made report as to the condi- tion of the alliance in South Dakota and the prospects for the future, and a gen- eral discussion was indulged in under the good of the alliance. Cow BOY. tend the meetings. On motion it was resolved to hold the next meeting at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday, March 29, at which meeting visitors will be cordially welcomed. Thore is a tunnel hear Naples, Ilalv, three-fourths of a mile long, cut through a mountain of solid rock called Pos.lfp- po.

Material for Leather medals. There are quite a number of anecdotes about bam Houston that have never been published, among them the following: In the discussions of the Texas con- gress frequent allusions would be made to Houston, which were very far from being flattering. His early life among the Indians was an armory from which many a poisoned arrow was drawn. On one occasion, while Houston was president, lie asked the secretary, "Well, what did you have to say about me to- day?" i'b£>«lp5i;tary replied, "The same old story, general; all about that " breech- cloth." I wish," retorted Houston, "they would leave that breech-cloth alone. I want to use it myself. I want to have one part of it cut up into leather medals for the miserable cusses that talk so much about it.— Texas Sif tings. Color of the Sea. The changes in tho color of the sea have attracted the attention of seafaring men from the enrlicst times, says a wrS ter in Science for All. They struck with wonder the Phoenicians when lirst they ventured out of the Mediterranean into the Atlantic; they excited the astonish- ment of Columbus and terriliect his com- panions while in search of the far-famed India, and they are no less a surprise to the modern navigator, to whom the march of discovery lias left few unex- plored regions in slorc. Numerous theories were offered in explanation of lliuau changes, some ascribing them to the varying color of the sea bottom, some lo differences in depth, others to the presence of certain coloring sub- stances, others again to the chemical composition of the water. Most of these suggestions contained an element of truth, although no one of them, taken by itself, sufficed to account for altera- tion in color which lias often been ob- served to occur in the course of a few hours' sail, and within a distance meas- uring less than a ship's length. Ot late years, as the reader is aware, numerous scientific expeditions have been fitted out and dispatched by the governments of England, Norway and America for the express purpose of exploring the secrets of the deep. Among the prob- lems which have now for the first time received a satisfactory solution, new light lias also been thrown upon tho conditions, which affect the color of thf sea water in every part of the ocean, thus completing the information for which we were indebted to the unaided exertions of earlier travelers. One of tiie most widely distributed contrasts of color is that which is known to exist be- tween the intensely blue seas situated between the tropics and the green seas of higher latitude". It appears, as the result of recent observations and more especially of a series of experiments made on board the German frigate Ga- zelle, that th: re is an intimate relation between the colors of sea-water and the proportion of salt held in solution by the latter. On comparing the specific gravity of green water with that of blue water, it was found that the latter is al- ways heavier than the former, and, therefore, contains more salt, the two differently colored waters being sup- posed to have the same temperature, in other words, the greater or lesser in- tensity of the blue eoior of sea water may be taken as a direct indes of its saltness and of its specific gravity, so that when we observe tiie color of the water successively change from a deep blue to a bluish green and a dark green we may conclude that tho water has be- come at the same time less salt and less heavy. This result agrees with the ex- perience of navigators in every part of the ocean, for as the vessel proceeds from the dense and sait waters of the tropi- cal regions toward the lighter and fresh- er waters of higher latitudes and of the polar regions the color of the sea is seen to change from an intense blue to a greenish blue and green tint. There are, however, numerous exceptions. Green seas are met with between the tropics and blue seas are encountered in the temperate region, and even with- in the Arctic circle, but these excep- tions, far from contradicting, only tend to confirm the above rule.
