Clough, superintendent of the Black Hills Mission, was in town yesterday forenoon, having come up from Lone Tree where he has been engaged for a few days in holding meetings. The progress of the meetings was somewhat interfered with by the illness of Rev. M. U. Stoneman, who has charge of the Lower Rapid circuit, Mr.

Stoneman remained at George W. Mentch's during his attack of grip, and as he is now much better the meetings will be continued, Rev. Clough returning there yesterday afternoon to remain for three days. After a Convention. Rev.

E. E. Clough received word yes terday morning from Hot Springs that W. V. Lucas had I gone to Huron to capture one of the state conventions for Hot Springs.

Ashe generally gets what he goes after it is quite likely that he will bring a convention home with him, or that it will follow soon enough to be practically the same thing. Arrested for Theft. Last evening Deputy Sheriffs Stucker and Swarthout arrested a young man answering the description sent down by Sheriff Beaver, of Meade county. The charge upon which the young man is held is the theft of a grey horse, branded lazy a Marks Bros. saddle and a bridle.

Sheriff Beaver's description as sent to the officers here tallies with the young man, horse, with the exception of the prisoner's name which the sheriff gives as Jerauld Dunlap, while the young man gives his name as Frank Ford. Yesterday the prisoner sold to Deutsch Lockwood a saddle for seven teen dollars which answers the description of the one stolen at Sturgis. He also offered the horse for sale yesterday for fifteen dollars, which looks somewhat suspicious as the animal is a good appearing one. four years old and weighs about 1050 or 1100 pounds. Advices by telephone last evening from Sheriff Beaver were to hold the prisoner and that he would be down today to take him in charge.

Postponed One Week. For the past few days Mrs. A. K. Thomas has been entertaining the grip, which will prevent her from entertaining the Coterie this week was expected, but as she is recovering she hopes to be able to do so one week from Thursday, February 13.

While of late there has been considerable talk of the bright outlook from a mining stand that section Mesers. Brennan and Sweeney were not prepared for the surprise which awaited them. mong the properties visited by the gen ten were the Tea, Dolcode, Hope No 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6, which are located about three miles west of Sheridan. At present there is no great amount of work being done upon the Tea lode, but there is ample evidence given that the property is a rich one. Work is being pushed on the Bolcode, owned by McClure and othere, as is also the Tea lode and the rich indeed.

Arrangements have been made for the run of this ore at the mill and fifty tons will be taken there next week. This ore will 4,0 twentyfive dollars to the ton. There are also seven sacks of ore taken from this property, and two taken from the Tea, all of which is literally alive with free gold. The Dolcode was formerly located for tin, and at the present time gives good tin prospects. The shaft is now down 100 feet, and an interesting fact with regard to it is, that it has more than paid the expense of the work.

Messrs. Brennan and Sweeney brought back with them samples of ore taken from the different properties visited and among them were specimens that rival those taken from the Holy Terror for richness. As time goes on and the rich gold properties are being continually brought to light the wonder in creases that capital usually so ready 1 for investment in a profit giving business does not eagerly reach out for the opportunities now offered in the Black Hills Addenda, Having recovered from her slight illness sufficiently to continue her school work yesterday Mrs. J. W.

Leedy looked over her list of scholars from the Sixth room who wrote the list of 100 words taken from THE JOURNAL and the following named pupils spelled seventyfive or more corrretly: Constance Hartgering. 85; Clarence MeCoy, Post, 80; Alfred Morris, 78; Della Garlick, 77: Edith Cory, 77, Sadie Mor- ris. 75. DIED. In Rapid City, Sunday morning, February 2, 1896, Charles Fallon, aged thirty seven years.

While the death of Mr. Fallon was not wholly unexpected yet the news catne with a shock to his many friends in Rapid City, where he has made his home for the past twelve years. For several weeks he had been lying very ill at his home where he received the faithful and 1 continuous attendance of his wife and friends and during the last few days of his life hope had been given that he was on the road to recovery On Friday last he was so much improved that he was up and around for a short time and even up to but a few minutes before his death he was able to take nourishment. Mr. Fallon was a young man of more than ordinary business ability and had given promise of reaching a high round on the financial ladder.

During his residence in Rapid City Mr. Fallon made many warm friends and it can truth fully be said that he was only his own worst enemy. Deceased was born in Pennsylvania, in which state he lived until he was seventeen years old when he went to Chicago. He remained in that city until 1882, when he came west and shortly after located in this city. A sorrowing wife and five sisters, the latter now living in or near Chicago, are left to mourn the life taken while but yet in the prime of manhood.

THE JOURNAL with other friends offers sincere sympathy to the bereaved wife in this her hour of deepest trial. Funeral services will occur this morning at the residence at ten o'clock and at St. Mary's church at 10-30, Rev. Fr. Kearney, officiating.

Interment will be made in Calvary cemetery. In Rapid City, Monday, February 3, 1806, Henry Murphy, of heart disease. The deceased is well known by many residents of this city and vicinity, hav ing for some time past flived on his ranch on Box Elder, about twelve miles from here. He was a man of excellent physique and at the time of his death was about forty five years of age. In terment will be made today at the Bennett cemetery on Elk creek.

A Friendly Letter. Letter writing ie not an easy task for any but those who have. practiced it from early youth, the truth of which statement is shown by the use made of the old fashioned "ready letter writer" by those whose early education in this line has been neglected. When the task is undertaken by a foreigner whose study of the English language has been limited, and the letter written is in the style of a fabulist writing an apologue one cannot but be surprised at the natural genius displayed. Below is a letter written by a daughter of Skandinavia, whose home is in this city, to a friend who was absent some time.

It purports have been written by the absent lady's dog to its mistress and will appreciated by all who are lovers of canine To My Little Mistress: I am a nice little girl. Johanna says so now. You know always before she would say I was a bad little girl. I like Johanna to sleep with and when she pets me. If Lery to get out she takes me to the barn and that makes me mad! Although I like Johanna so well I am afraid of her.

When she says "come' I have to go or else- -well, you know what. But then I have learned to sit down, and I think by the time you come back I will be able to shake hands with my dear missie. When Johanna took down your dresses that she sent away I thought, "Well, there is my mistress, I know her dresses and I will hunt her up. But I was very much displeased not to find you inside of them. Come back soon to your dear little WICKETTS.

-Two fine Harvard bicycles were received yesterday at McNamara's book store. One of the wheels is for a lady, and the other for a gentleman. -About the worst scandal we have heard of being perpetrated on a Spearfish girl lately, is the story that one of them found a horseshoe, and, for luck placed it under her pillow, in company with false teeth on going to bed. Sleeping late and being in a hurry for break fast next morning, she made a mistake and put the horseshoe in her mouth instead of her teeth. The mistake was not discovered until evening when her best fellow kissed her and was frightened at Program.

One of the features of the meeting will be a question box. An interesting program is being prepared and will be published later on. All newspapers in the Black Hills, friendly to cause, are kindly requested to publish this call.

JAMES M. WOODS, President. C. V. GARDNER, Secretary, Supreme Brute Kellam.

So far the charges preferred against Judge A. G. Kellam have not been denied by the accused and advices from Pierre give it out that it is quite probable that he will escape punishment because parties interested refuse to complain on account of the publicity which would arise from such action. He is openly accused of taking liberties with a child in his office at night and taking ad vantage of another man's wife when she was under the influence of morphine. Saturday Governor Sheldon tendered the appointment to fill the vacancy on the supreme bench to Judge Dick Haney, of the Fourth circuit.

Judge Haney immediately started for Pierre to accept aud qualify for the position. Judge Haney spent several weeks in Rapid City during the month of May last, having been called here to try some cases for Judge Gardner. The judge made a very favorable impression here and there is no doubt but that he will fill the position acceptably in every way. The Pierre Capital publishes the following editorial with regard to actions of Kellam: "It seems incredible that at man who has been so honored by his fellow citizens, and that even when the honor was bestowed at a time when his integrity was being severely assailed in connection with the Chamberlain bank failure, should alike forget the duty he owed to the people of the state who had thus honored him, and that more sacred duty, that of husband and father, as to stoop to what would bring the blush of shame to Mephistopheles' cheek. To think that in a supreme judge of a state, the highest legal tribunal of a commonwealth, he should have such a rival.

If the reports are true Alphonso G. Kellam outdevils the devil. Fiendish would not begin to express the acts of which he is accused of committing. If the charges are proved there can be no punishment sufficient for him in this world or the world hereafter. To be placed in a slow fire and be forever roasted would be inadequate.

It would seem as though the very God of heaven would have descended on him in some of the villiany which rumors eay he attempted. -Buy goods of home manufacture when such goods are of equal merit. The La Flor Princess, manufactured by the Herron Cigar factory, is the best ten cent smoke to be purchased in the city. Using the Knife. A thrilling account comes from the Limestone section of a desperate encounter between a prospector and silver tip bear.

The prospector was armed with nothing but a hunting knife but with this weapon alone after a fierce fight lasting about fifteen minutes the ferocious brute was dispatched. other instance of the effective work is evidenced right here at home, the L. Morris having put in use the article in question, have cut the price of goods in many instances to just half the former price. We have a large lot of winter cloaks which must be disposed of within the next fifteen days. You can now purchase a cloak for just one half the former price.

A few more rugs left which will be sold at twenty-five per cent discount of the former price. A bargain is also offered in fine California blankets of which we have a large 88- sortment in all colors. These goods will be sold for the next fifteen days at twenty five per cent off the regular price. If you want shoes we will give you prices cheaper than the cheapest.
