Allen of the firm of Sparks Allen, Sturgis, was married at Boston on Aug. 5, to Miss Louise Ackerman of Boston. Several months ago John Gaston was presented with itwo carrier pi geons by a gentleman of Medora. He released them one day recently at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the next morning at 9 o'clock they returned They made a direct ascent for a thousand feet, remained stationary for a few moments, then flew in a bee-line north until out of sight. John is confident they went to Medora and back during the seventeen hours.

August 15, 1885 It is suggested by Judge Romans that common council pass an ordinance giving the visiting Indians permission to slaughter all untagged dogs found running at large. He believes the number would materially decrease at once. The fact that considerable testimony was taken by the territorial grand jury relative to the assessment of certain belt mines, give rise to the impression that certain county officials or their acts are subjects of investigation. Road Supervisor Harding of the Central district is at work on the Carbonate camp road leaving Dead-wood gulch above Anchor and will soon have it in thorough repair. The City creek road to the camp seems to be a dead letter.

Charley Rosebraugh returned from Miles and the Northern Pacific country after an absence of over a year, satisfied that the Hills are superior to any other country In the west. He was accompanied as far as Spearfish by six others among them were Bob Robinson and Charley Williams, old timers in the Hills. Ten horses were placed in the stables at the Fair grounds, permits being Issued to Sam Daugherty for Douglass, Sleepy Kate and Pay Streak and to Seth Bullock for Ya-lentine, Deadwood, Stanley, Vigilante and four other thoroughbreds.

The contract was entered into an San Francisco and includes not only the output of the Black Hills mines but of all the many mines of the company throughout the west.

A full corps of treasure messengers has been engaged and the first shipment under the contraot will go out by the treasure coach tomorrow. The Cheyennes In attendance court are said to be without provis ions and of course without money and as a number of them will pos sibly be detained in the city several days yet the situation is becoming unpleasant. The party purchased $15 worth of supplies at Meade on their way in else would starvation have confronted them soon after arriving. The party has a number of robes and a large band of ponies which can be sold it the men desire, but desire will come only when begging becomes ineffective. BELGIA.VS DISPLAY SYMPATHY WITH ITALY LONDON, Eng.

When the Italian arms were removed from the Italian embassy in Brussels, the people of Brussels knew immediately that Italy was at war with Austria and celebrated the event by wearing small Italian flags in their buttonholes. But they did not wear them long, as the German authorities arrested the flag vendors and publish ed an order against this method of showing sympathy. Whereupon all the Belgians went about with small pieces of macaroni tied to their lapels, according to a story authenticated by a traveler recently in Brussels. Orders had been published that there should be no display of national insignia or national colors of either Belgium or her allies. When the Belgian national holiday came around black flags were hung out of every Belgian home.

A number of offenders were accordingly arrested. They pleaded that the order said and black was no color but the absence of color. Therefore they had not violated the order. SOCIABILITY RUN Nineten cars left Deadwood and Lead Sunday for the long looked for and much talked "Sociability Run" to Sylvan lake, and each driv er of a car has a differing view of the conditions of the road and "sociab ility runs" as promoters of pleasure. From a concensus of opinion of those Who have had wide experience In autoing under varied conditions, it is gathered that on the run dQwn, before the rain, the roads from Dead-wood to Hill City were fine, remarkably so considering the amount of rainfall during the season.

There is a mudbole near Merritt, which seems to baffle the efforts of the road workers. The continuous rains have developed a springy, spongy condition that cannot be overcome by the ordinary methods. There was some tire trouble and a little engine trouble going down, and two or three cars got over too far from the center of the road and had to be pulled out. The road from Hill City to the Lake was not very good in the morning, and of course, was worse on the return trip after the heavy rainfall. Forest Supervisor Imes and four rangers met the autoists out on the road and were ready to direct and aid if necessary.

They say that if the elements will ever give Mr. Imes an even show he will make a delightful road from the Lake to Hill City. Arrived at the Lake a fine dinner was served and everything possible done for the pleasure and comfort of the autoists, but the heavy downpour of rain cast a gloom that could not be dispelled, and some refused to be comforted. The return through the mud was not a joy ride to some of them. The start was made at three o'clock and the first arrivals in Dead-wood was at nine-thirty.

Others came stringing along until four o'clock the following morning, end a few cars are not in yet. It was an experience worth while. One might go to the Pacific coast and not see mucji of life, and again they might have several worse things befall them. We admire the autolst who accepts, uncomplainingly whatever befalls him or in western par lance we kin cotton to the cuss as takes his dose and thanks the Lord it isn't any wuss." There is a farmer living near the mudhole who ought to be pensioned by the Auto club. He took his team and pulled cars out and refused to accept pay.

Between ten and twelve o'clock Sunday night he pulled ten cars out, still refusing to accept anything, but the boys forced a handsome purse on him. LIEUT. GAVTZ TO BE MARRIED. Yesterday's mail brought the following invitation: Mr. and Mrs.

BUT ONE RETURNS Grief In Patb of Mother's Visits to Casualty Lists. 6AVE ALL TO FATHERLAND. ut Sadness Gave Way to Admiration as She Regained Her Youngest Boy With an Iron Cross and Both Lege Wounded Member of Family on Three Fighting Front. "The casualty lists are posted for Inspection at our office. Only a few folios at first, their uumber Increased dally, the mountain of paper grew, and Its lie Increased, at first invisibly, then visibly," writes Paul Alexander Schet-Uer In the Rheln und Rhur Zeltung.

"And daily there come men and women fathers, mothers, brothers, sweethearts. They come silently and look In the papers for the fate of their loved ones. Their hands tremble; the paper shakes. Before their hot eyes dance rows of black letters brief sentences-each the fate of a human being, to which are joined others in an endless chain. And as silently as the searchers tame they go again.

An almost inaudible expression of gratitude comes from their Hps before tbey close the door. I did not see a single mother or bride, father or brother, who left In any other way. Py After Day the Lists Grow. "And day after day the mountain grows. New faces appear in the frame of the door and vanish again, always new ones, and yet it Is always the same silent train of heroically composed sorrow, of brave self control In tbelr Immeasurable suffering.

"Occasionally the same faces do reappearfor example, that of an old woman with smoothly parted hair. I addressed her, for I recognized her as a former serving woman. 'Is your son at the front, too, Mrs. Reinhard? That is your name, is It "She smiled and nodded. 'Five, she answered simply 'five of 'Five?" I asked in amazement.

'And all at the 'Yea, five that is, now there are only four. One of them, Albert, has fallen. For four weeks I beard nothing from him. But now It Is written here fallen In And she pressed her finger on the list on one of the counties name. "'Are the others also In Franc I asked in order to say something.

'No, only Ernst. Oswald and Frans are in Russia, and my youngest. Brwin, Is in the 'How many mothers like that you have, I thought when she left "After a short time she came again, silent and shy, as at first I beard the rattling of the paper and the rustling of her dress as she seated herself In front of the casualty lists. Soon she rose again. She wished to go.

I remembered having spoken to her at that time. So I asked her whether she had again heard anything of her eons. Another Son Offered to Country. "She sobbed softly. 'Yes, she whispered and left.

I glanced into the opened book. There tt was, 'Musketeer Frans And following these was the fateful word which permits of no hope, no doubts, only a few letters-dead. "And she came again and again. Ernst was heavily wounded, Oswald stricken with typhoid. 'If only Erwln comes she sighed one day.

'If he only comes back! He la my only one 'Are Ernst and Oswald' "She dlil not let me finish, but nodded. I grasped ber band. 'He will come 1 said, overcome by the feeling of confidence which surged over me In sympathy with the lot of this woman. 'Just wait; he will come "A few mouths passed. In these sari ous day I had almost forgotten tbo woman and her hard lot Then I met ber one sunny day in the park.

With shining eyes she was pushing a wheel chair in front of ber. When she spied me a look of recognition passed over her features, and, stopping, she said with quiet joy: Erwin Comes Home. "'You were right, sir. There he Is. my And her hand pointed to the wheel cbair in which sat a young soldier, scarcely twenty years of age, whose breast was decorated with cross.

HIS SAFETY IS GUARANTEED Large Number of Seoret Polio Keep Imperor Under Cloeeet Scrutiny Hi Preeeno the Front an Aid to the Commanding Qenerala, and HI Ad-vio I Always 8ought. Paul Sclimeder, who claims to be one of those very few and highly fa vored correspondents who have lived at the kaiser's headquarters since the beginning of the war, has Just written a large volume In which he tells the German public all about the life the supreme war lord leads at the front The theory that the kaiser's presence at the front disturbs bis generals Is scornfully rejected, the writer maintaining, ou the contrary, that the Imperial advice Is frequently sought and generally acted on by tbem.

The kaiser's special train, lu whic he makes bis famous and frequent rushes from one front to the other, eou-Btsts, according to Herr Schmeder, of ten carriages constructed on modern lines; comfortable, certainly, but not luxurious. At the beginning of the war this special train was painted a whitish blue color, so that troops and civilians were always able to recognize and cheer the emperor as he passed, but fear that hostile aviators might find the task of dropping bombs thereon made easier for them if they became aware of that fact has resulted In a perlodlciil repainting of the train In various colors. Safety of Kaiser Guaranteed. "The necessity for this precaution," adds Herr Schinetlei', "will be obvious when I mention that a train purposely made to resemble in color and form that of the kaiser's was promptly bombarded by a French aviator shortly after leaving the Frankfort railway station." The safety of the emperor In the field Is giia ran teed, lie says, by his personal adjutants and by a large number of secret police, known as secret Held police, specially selected for their duties from all parts of Germany. These men keep the kaiser under the closest observation.

Ix'th In the field ami at the headquarters of the general staff; to make sure that no spies are watching bis movements and that no dynamiters are prowling in the neighborhood. "To all apiiearnnces," the writer adds, "there seems to be no special precautions taken for guarding the kaiser, but, as a matter of fact, Invisible eyes watch blm, -inil day and night there is an absolutely Impenetrable barrier between bim and the outside world. Naturally, In the field and at headquarters the emperor's movements are unhampered by his guards, and one frequently sees him talking serenely and smilingly to the children be encounters. At a headquarters rwently established across the frontier In France the emperor won the hearts of the inhabitants by coming out of his room for a few minutes after his arrival In order to talk to th- exi-tred children who had gathered In front of the boooe." UNITED STATES HAS SECRET FORMULA FOR DEADLY SHELL Being Manufactured In Government Arsenal and Kept a Secret. What Is described a "the deadliest hell" yet Invented Is said to have been developed by ordnanc experts of the United States army.

It la designed to meet conditions hich bare arisen In the European war by be destruction of hostile trenches and gun (belters. "The general staff of the army," a high ranking officer is quoted a saying, "is thoroughly conversant with developments in military science as shown by the work of tbe various ar mies In the European war. Our observers abroad have been particularly observant of the effects of various ex plosive. Knowing the intensity of the explosives used abroad, particularly the melinite shells of the Germans they are in a position to make compart sons with the explosive which tbe ord nance experts of tbe United State army recently have perfected. "Of course the formula Is a secret which It will be unnecessary to dls close before au actual emergency causes It to be turned over to private manufacturers to be used for the army.

At present the explosive Is being man ufactured only In the United States ar senals, where the formula Is most carefully guarded. 'The trench warfare abroad Is a de velopment of that form of operations which was wholly unlocked for In do: previous war have intrenchments play ed so important a part or been so elab i orately constructed. More than any thing else this has called for the use of a high explosive shell, a shell that not-only will destroy any unprotected force, but will destroy a protection. Shrapnel will not do this, but tbe high explosive shell demolishes trenches ami everything they contain." Hole 3,282 Feet Deep. Deepest hole in Kansas Is a well near Mlneola that has gone 3.282 feet without finding oil or gas.

August 13, 1885 The Homestake and Buxton companies are In litigation over conflicting water rights in Fantail gulch. Hank Wright is a success as attorney for Indians. His knowledge of their character and language as well as of the white man's ways Is turned to very good account. George Hearst, Superintendent Grier, Jake Werthheimer and Mr. Follansbee visited the Carbonate camp.

MP. Hearst was favorably impressed with the appearances of the camp. Calamity Jane is neither dead or slumbering. She got to the front one day last week at Rawlins, knocked another frail sister out in the first round of a drunken melee and was mulcted in the sum of ten dollars. Harry Damon will have an invincible team to represent the Hooks at the fall tournament.

A half dozen are now cached in the woods In constant training. They run like wild Are. The Fremont, Elkhbrn Missouri Valley railroad company is out with an attractive hanger containing the startling announcement: "For thousands of years the inhabitants of the Black Hills have been without railroad etc. We know that it had been some little time but had no idea it was so long. The Northwestern received an Invoice of coupon tickets for the new Chadron route sale of which will open as soon as the stages begin running.

The fare, Deadwood to Chicago is $48.75 first class. No second class tickets will be sold. I. B. Hammond returned from a tour of the Southern Hills and to the Cheyenne.

He met Mr. Andrews, engineer In charge of the extension who stated that cars would be running to the Cheyenne by the first of November. Graders are at work In the vicinity of the river and. will have the road bed nearly complete by the middle of September. A con tract for grade to Rapid City is let but work will not begin north of the Cheyenne tremlnus before spring.

August 14, 1885 George Hearst and Superintendent Grier inspected certain water ditches belonging to the Homestake com pany. Stebblns, Fox will shortly open their bank at Sundance. A por tion of their fixtures arrived last week. The South Deadwood hose running team is out for practice dally. They expect to make a good showing at the fall tournament.

Frank Rhoads has been elected captain. Marshal Dunn and his crusade against disorderly canines has en of benefit to Cheyennes encamped at the Elephant corral and abundantly establishes the heretofore doubted fact that nothing more savory than a dog feast could be proposed for an average red. Dog meat is a luxury with the Indians and the city can well afford to keep its aboriginal visitors well supplied. Dr. F.

S. Ledeboer of Spearfish has received the appointment of physician and surgeon for the Iron Hill company and will visit the mine three times per week. The doctor was for a long time railroad surgeon at Grand Rapids, where he enjoyed an extensive and successful practice. Bob Waldschmid; arrived from Chadron. He reports nothing new long the grade; work progresses as rapidly as ever.

Chadron is becoming a good deal on the old Julesburg order, many hard characters having drifted along with the railroad. The authorities, however, are disposed to maintain an upper hand and arrests are made dally. The wonder is that with vast quantities of explosives constantly in transit to and through the city accidents including fatalities are not almost an every day occurence. Yes terday a reporter peered Into an unloading freight wagon and beheld box npon box of giant powder, several of which were broken and cartridges falling out. The cargo had been transported over 200 miles from Pierre over a road at no time in the best of condition.

Teamsters handle such freight seemingly with no greater thought or care than they do the most harmless freight and yet sufficient concussion would explode an entire load sending a large portion of the city to kingdom come. August 11, 1885 Lemons are a scarcity in all markets of the country as well as the Black Hills and prices are higher than before known for years. The Evans transportation company delivered a large amount of freight to the local merchants yester- The hill Is really nothing but a knoll of gently rising ground that forms the end of the Klein-ZUlebeke ridge. The German trenches run in a double tier along the crest and upper slope, while the British trenches form an irregular line along the edge of the lower slope. The Germans are at the top of the hill, while the British are a little way up the side of it The whole face of the hill presents a picture of the wildest confusion.

Everywhere are huge craters, the result of mine explosions on the night of the British attack. Torn and gaping sandbags are scattered in profusion, broken rifles, odds and ends of equipment of all kinds, smashed barb-wires, and a mass of other debris lies in bewildering variety down the hillside, the whole half-hidden In the long grass that has sprung up between the trenches. The trenches twist and wind in a remarkable manner. At one point there is an old communication trench running from the British lines straight Into the heart of the German position, and down this two barricades have been erected, one on the English side and one on the German side. Here the opposing forces come within six yards of each other.

Between the rival barricades there stretches a short patch of ground shut in on either hand by the crumbling walls of the old trench. At one spot a railway bridge spans the British position, and in the cutting beneath it a large pool of stagnant water has collected. Beyond it stretches the railway line, the rails torn and twisted, and partly covered with the weeds growing between the ties. The line Is under direct lire from the German lines, and to cross It in the open would mean certain death from snipers in the opposite trench forty yards away. In the pool below the bridge a score or more of bodies have been lying for some weeks, but no man dares approach to bring them out for burial.

BAD ROADS HURT Aberdeen American Aberdeen must do something to improve its gateways. ith thousands of dollars from the automobile fund available for use, there are mudholes upon two of the chief highways which have mired down to a dozen or more autos and hampered traffic of every kind What does it profit a city if the people pay much money for road bet terment ana tne money is Kept in the bank while the roads are an effective bar to the approach of any sort of trade. This is a matter in which the mer chants or the city are vitally interested because every road that is blocked by mud is a closed door to trade form that direction. The Yel lowstone trail road has been a sub terranean sinkhole west of the city and cars of all kinds have been stall ed there. The road to Wylie park has been a gumbo puddle for a week and nothing done in that time to re pair it and let in the trade to the city.

Highways south and east of the city are in good shape, but everybody who wants to come to Aberdeen doe3 not -live south or east of town. MIGRATORY BIRD LAW TO BE ENFORCED D. Aug. 13. With the approach of the open season for shooting wild fowl the United States department of agriculture is warning sportsmen that the federal regulations as amended October 1.

1914, will be strictly enforced. Some misunderstanding has arisen from the fact that the various State laws do not always conform to the federal regulations. This is regarded as unfortunate, but in such cases the department must insist upon the observance of the federal regulations. The department will consider any recommendations submitted in good faith for amendment of the regulations, but will hold no public hearings thereon, nor will it amend the regulations prior to October 15. 1915.

It is the purpose of the department to conform the regulations to the wishes of the majority of sportsmen so far as i can be done and at the same time give wild fowl the necessary protection. Federal regulations divide the United States into two zones. Zone No. 1, the breeding zone, includes the states of Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and all States north of them. Zone No.

2, the wintering zone, includes all states south of those named..
