By order of the committee. Dated at Aberdeen, South Dakota, May 9,1800. CHARLES T. MG 'OY. Chairman. WILLIAM B. STERLING, Secretary. SENATOR MOODY writes that congress will not probably reach its final adjourn ment before August 15. A IiAnd office has been located at Sun dance, Wyo., and it is reported that the Hon. Joseph L. Stotts has received the appointment of register. ACCORDING to notice published else where a convention of the republican league clubs of South Dakota will be held at Mitchell on August 26th. The ADVERTISER would suggest and urge the organization of a republican club in Meade county. The objects of this league are such that the formation of a club cannot help but be beneficial to all republicans and especially to the young men of the party. THE Hermosa Pilot suggests that the editor of the ADVERTISER assume the du ties and responsibilities of showing the members of the South Dakota Press Association through the Hills when they visit here in July. While it would be a pleasure to show the boys the Willw country, it will be an impossibility for I. R. to accept the honor should the Black Hills Press Association see fit to make him their representative in this matter. The ADVERTISER knows of no one better able to fill the position than Brother Stanley. AT the republican convention held at Sioux City on the 26th a platform was promulgated and adopted that is clear, explicit and upon which every true re publican can stand. Taking into con sideration that there are differences of opinion among Iowa republicans, as well as among the members of the convention, as to methods to be adopted in the regu lation of the liquor traffic, the plank covering this question, declaring against compromise with the saloon and favor ing such legislation as the people may desire to regulate, confine or prohibit the public bar, was one that could not well be improved upon. THE first annual announcement of the Black Hills College, at Hot Springs, has been received at this office. This insti tution was established in the terests of liberal education and its courses of study will embrace the same branches as those taught in like institu tions in the East. It is not a theological school, as some have supposed, but its purpose is to educate young ladies and gentlemen for the professional, business, domestic and other walks in life. Its building, which is almost completed, a beautiful three-story edifice, structed of gray sandstone, containing commodious science halls, recitation halls and a large, well lighted and ven tilated chapel. Such an institution is worthy the hearty support of all inter ested in the cause of education. 0UR NEXT SENATOR. Under the above caption, Conklin's Dakotian freely expresses itself upon the subject of United States senator and its logic is certainly good. It says: The feeling in favor of the re-election of Gideon C. Moody to the United States senate is evidently growing among our people throughout the state. We have observed the sentiment of the people during our travels throughout the state for the past four weeks, carefully, and there is no doubt of the correctness of the statement we make. People are rec ognizing more and more the fidelity with which he has served every interest of our people, especially the agricultural inter ests, which he recognizes as of over shadowing consequence. The people are justly proud of his brilliant ability, and of its recognition by the senate of the United States, and the people of the East generally. They feel that South Da kota cannot afford to dispense with the services in th« senate of a man whom the republicans of any state in the Union •ay r" *jer •c 3't K-^ V VOLUME IV.—NUMBER 27. STURGIS—BLACK HILLS—SOUTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1890. PER ANNUM. would be proud to have represent them. We have watched his course carefully in the senate, and we have not been able to discover a single instance in which he .has failed to support earnestly, and with all his power, any measure of reform legislation demanded by the people he represents. Under such circumstances there is no honorable excuse for any re publican farmer, or citizen of the state, opposing his re-election. To do other wise would be an act of rank injustice and political barbarism, without a par allel in the history of the republican party. The people have a right to be faithfully served by their servants, and the servant who has been faithful to his trust should not fail of his reward. We have no idea that the people will make a mistake of retiring Mr. Moody until he shall have had the opportunity to serve them a full term in the United States senatp. We have a poor opinion of the purposes of the intelligent repub lican who is antagonizing the re-election of Senator Moody. The demand for his return should come from every true re publican, and especially from the repub lican farmers he is serving so well. What every republican farmer wants is results, and unless it can be made to ap pear clearly, that an able and more faith ful man can be offered them to support, they should stand by Gideon O. Moody. No better man for their interests can be named. Besides, we have tried him, and know that he is faithful. We know he wields extraordinary influence in the sen ate, therefore make no experiment in re turning him. What a new man would do could not be foretold what standing he would have in that body would be a matter of conjecture. Not much of a conjecture either, as to some aspirants would simply be the laughing stock of the nation, and trail the name of South Dakota into the lowest depths of ridi cule. STATE NEWS. Work has begun on the construction of the Whitewood water system. The F. E. & M. V. will have its Buf falo Qap branch completed to Hot Springs early in August- At Spearfish July 17 and 18 a series of horse races will be held. There are several purses worth looking after. Mrs. A. C. Settle last week sold an untanned buffalo robe to Fred S. Gard ner for 850.—Sundance Republican. The second test of Sundanne noal, this time from tunnel No. 2, by the F. E. & M. V. road took place on the 23d and is pronounced better ooal than that from No. 1. The Black Hills College, at Hot Springs will open September 11, with a faculty of seven professors and instruc tors. The regular prospectus will be issued early this month. This institu tion promises to be one of the leading educational colleges of the state. A more extended notice will be given in these columns later. Ben H. Barker, owner of- hill claims opposite placers 47-8-9, lower White wood, over which the Elkhorn has con demned right-of-way, fixing damages at $500, called at the Times office yester day. He had procured the arrest of a number of graders for trespass, but no cause for action appearing, defendants were discharged. He says that the right-of-way not only deprives him of a large amount of ground valuable for mining purposes, but has accomplished destruction of a flume costing $900, and prevents working remainder of the ground. He demands 81,000 compensa tion. The company offers $500, or $400 less than the flume cost. He will appeal to circuit court for jury trial.—Dead wood Times. In the matter of the controversy be tween the Lead City Townsite Company and thirty-five mineral claims, which has been pending before the land office for some years and in which an enormous amount of testimony has been taken, says the Journal, the register and re ceiver yesterday found as their opinion that eleven of the claims were not min eral claims. They are Little Nell, Bos etta, Elephant, Golden Reef, Golden Star No. 2, Rosebud, Rattler, Echo, Mountain Rose, Sula and Chief of the Hills. The opinion is a very lengthy and exhaustive one, covering eighteen pages of type written legal cap. The case will be passed upon in Washington, but it is not probable that the decision of the local land office officials overruled. con will be Republican State League Convention. In accordance with a resolution passed by the executive committee of the Re publican State League of South Dakota, there will be a convention of the repub lican league clubs of the state of South Dakota held in the city of Mitchell, on Tuesday, August 26, 1890, at 3 p. m. The business that will come before the convention will include reports of the officers of the state league, election of officers and executive committee for the ensuing year, reports from local clubs and discussion of political questions. The convention will be composed of three delegates from each republican club. Clubs may be formed at any time by organizing locally in accordance with the constitution of the state league and reporting the names of their officers and delegates to secretary of the state league at Parker. The object of the Republican State League is to encourage and work for the success of the party, to distribute whole some republican literature to all who may call for it and to endeavor to inter est all citizens, especially the young, in the study and discussion of political sub jects, and to this end the immediate or ganization of republican clubs in every school district of the state is earnestly enjoined. By order of the committee. E. W. FOSTER, Praodant. CHAS. F. HACKETT, Secretary. Parker, S.

"the following letter from John D. Lawler, son-in-law of the late General Sturgis: MTTCHELL, June 18.—I. R. CROW, Dear Sir: I have to thank you for the package of papers sent me, illustrating and displaying the city of Sturgis, and to congratulate you, particularly, on the success of the engraver in executing the cut of General Sturgis. He has caught an expression about the eyes that seems to make a better likeness than the origi nal photograph. Trusting that your enterprise will result advantageously to you personally and to your town I am, Very truly yours, JOHN D. LAWLEK. The STURGIS ADVERTISER this week issues a very creditable edition. It is profusely illustrated with views in and about Sturgis and with engravings of the principal buildings of that town. It contains a great deal of interesting mat ter concerning Sturgis and Meade county, and taken altogether is one of the best advertisements that could have been gotten up for the town. Mr. Crow, the editor and publisher, certainly deserves the thanks of the Sturgis people for the able manner in which that town's advan tages are set forth.—Rapid Republican. Last week'B edition of the STURGIS ADVERTISER was a boom edition that will boom. 'Twas a credit to the office and the city it represents. Too many of the extras issued are so overloaded with ad vertising matter as to defeat the end de sired. This was not a fault of the AD VERTISER. The city and its surround ings are nicely handled and without that fulsomeness so nauseating to Eastern readers. The cuts are better than the average and the general make-up shows that there is a printer at the head.— Rapid City Union. The STURGIS ADVERTISER issued an illustrated edition of 5,000 copies t.hia week. To say that the ADVERTISER has done itself proud is putting it mild. The paper is illustrated with cuts of the beet business and residence houses of the town, also a birdseye view of Sturgis, a sawmill and a number of the pic turesque scenes of the Hills. The read ing matter is descriptive of Meade connty and her resources. The entire Hills as well as Meade county will be benefited by the ADVERTISER'S enter prise.—Belt Herald. The STURGIS (Black Hills) ADVER TISER comes to our sanctum as" clean and bright and handsome as a blushing bride. It is freighted to overflowing with information about our new state, aud the Black Hills in particular, and presents many fine illustrations of pub lic and private buildings located in the city of Sturgis. The ADVERTISER does great credit to its enterprising publisher, and ought to have a wide circulation.— Yankton Telegram. Last week's STURGIS ADVERTISER CAPITAL OFFICERS. H. E. Bailey, Pres. D. A. McPlierson, V.P. J. J. Davenport, Cashier. H. E. Perkins, Ass't Cacfcier. was indeed a neat, attractive specimen of typography. It was an illustrated, de scriptive edition of the Hills in general, Sturgis in particular, with every detail fully noticed. Such enterprise is com mendable. Oh, if there was sufficient public spirit among Whitewood men to advertise the town in that way, but, alas, public" spirit is unknown here.—White wood Sentinel. The STURGIS ADVERTISES last week published 5,000 copies of an illustrated edition, containing excellent articles up on the various resources of the Blaok Hills, and many other articles that will do good. It was a handsomely printed paper, and altogether one that will at tract attention. We congratulate Brother Crow upon that issue.—Her mosa Pilot. One of the best gotten up editions, of the boom kind, ever published in the Black Hills was the edition of the STUR GIS ADVERTISER of last week. I. Bob Crow, the publisher, is entitled to a good deal of credit for the style, tone and de sign of the sheet. It will do Crow, Sturgis and the Hills a great deal of good.—Sturgis Record. The STCRGIS ADVERTISER is out with a profusely illustrated, ably compiled and handsomely printed "boom" edition, of which several thousand copies will re ceive gratuitous distribution throughout the country. The paper is a credit to the publisher and will aocomplish good for the Hills.—Dead wood Times. The STURGIS ADVERTISER of June 12 is a handsome edition devoted to repre senting Sturgis as she is, the magnificent key city of the Black Hills. Chief among the things of which Sturgis has to be proud is her newspaper enterprise as exemplified by the ADVERTISER.— Huron Times. The STURGIS ADVERTISER issued a 5,000 copy illustrated boom edition last week. It is a corker, second to none ever issued in the Black Hills country, and we hope the publisher will meet with that reward from Sturgis citizens he so justly merits.—Rapid Republican. The STURGIS ADVERTISER last week issued an illustrated edition and write up of that live town and its surround ings, and like everything that "Bob Crow undertakes the same was hand somely done throughout.—Oelrichs Ad vocate. The STURGIS ADVERTISER last week issued a special edition of 5,000 illus trated copies. It was one of the best papers ever issued in the Black Hills an& reflects great credit to the town and pub lisher.—Sundance Gazette. CENTRAL CITY, June 17.—FRIEND CROW: Permit me to congratulate yon most heartily upon the excellence of your extra edition. It is a credit to yourself aud the entire Black Hills.—Willis C. Bower. We have received a copy of the STUR GIS ADVERTISER which contains a splen did write-up of that city, county and the Black Hills country in general.—Ban croft Tribune.
