Punishment is a deterrent from crime, and tbe severest punishment rigorously lnnictea is the greatest de terrent. Tascott captured and hang would be a warning to many to whom no other argument would appeal bet Tascott at large and successfully eluding the grasp of the law is an encouragement to many a criminal, which makes his escape a public calamity.

RAPID CITY. DAKOTA. CLOTHIER THIS PPACK FOR. SOON ITS As Portrayed by a Former Resident of Rapid City. Spokase.Falls, March 16, 1SS9.

To the Editor of The Jocrxal: The tide of immigration is beginning to come into this territory. Immigrants by the hundreds, or I might trntlifnlly say, by the thousands, are coming for the purpose of getting comes ana good wages. Some come with means, but most of them without money to pay a week's board or for a meat of victuals, expecting to get work when they get bere. inere is some land nere tnat can be taken for settlement but it is not the best bv any means, and far from it. Choice land is taken as a general thing, and what is left is in the timber as a rule, only small portions of it being fit tor agricultural purposes, a nave talked with several ranchmen who have been here seven or eight years as to the prosperity of settlers upon govern- nent land in the last year, and lor.tne time to con.e.

They claim that if They had the money to boy stock such as cows and everything to commence with they would be all right, but tneir chances would be no better than in any other country. I have found three families that left the Black Hills within the last three years that are reduced in circumstances since tney lett tne tiills struggling to make a living. Last summer railroad men advertised for men to work cn the railroad from all parts of the western states and tt ey rushed in by the thousands, and when the country was overrun by them they tried to cut down tne waies. Last winter lacoma, Seattle, Portland and Spokane Falls were filled with idle men without a cent in their pockets. This spring men are coming in from Denver for $18 to Spokane Falls with the expectation of getting tood wages, and are disappointed and curse the country, for they were brought here by employment agencies in Denver who were writing upon their bulletins "500 men wanted for Wash ington Territory tare 18 good waes." It was all done for the dollar the employment men got from theai when thev eot their tickets.

There will be a great deal of railroad building this year in Washington ler ritory and it will employ a great many men "for but a short time, at the rate of l.o to fz.w per aay, and they ate charged at the rate $5.25 per week for board. Contractors have it their own way and are taking advantage of the inere will certainly be a re action this summer for there are too many people coming to the territory Real estate in Spokane Falls is seldng as high as 1.U00.U0 per front toot. Lots two miles from the uostoffice 125 each Tacoma and Seattle $1,500 per front foot Portland went aa high as $2,000 per front foot; Helena last fall sold as high as $1,000 per front foot. Real es tste prices are in proportion to the number of inhabitants of each place. Rapid City property is cheap takinu into consideration the location of the city and its surrounding country My advice to people wno are living in the Hills is to stay with what they have and be content, and not to be running after the boom in Washington Tern-toiy and spending wi-at they have got to get out here, and to do as a great many others take the medicine tney have here for the boom fever Our newspapers here don't say anything about the Sioux reservation, tin mines or anything abont the iilack Hills country, unless it be the Home stake robberv case.

It is stated by stockmen and others who have traveled over that section, that some of the most beautiful land in Western Dakota is situated immediately east and lying along the banks of tbe Cheyenne river.

Several parties in Rapid City have been quietly making inquiries regarding this with the intention of placing themselves in readiness the moment tbe reservation opens to locate the best portion of it under the law provided. It is the the bullet never thereafter being re moved. Homeslake bullion was the prize the robbers sought. Mr. Hill seemingly recovered from his wound after a time and again resumed his position as messenger, in which capacity he served for more than a year.

He then resigned and was elected constable of Deadwood, and served as such for a term of, four years with great credit. From Deadwood he went to Elk creek and became a rancher. About a year and a half ago he moved to Glen Rock, where he went into the livery business. He was while in Glen Rock elected justice of the peace, but resigned because of iil health. Mr.

Hill was born at Newmarket, near Joseph, Missouri, whre his mother is now living. Had he lived until March 10 he would have been thirty-seven years of age. He was married to Miss Nettie VVynn, of Dead- wood. October. 1881.

To them two children were born, a girl, now aged five years, and a boy. two and a -half years. The sorrowing wife and family have the deepest sympathy of all who knew Mr. Hill. A Female Terror.

A hearing involving a valuable por tionof the Deadwood townsite is tak ing p. ace at that town, wnerein one Henrietti Livingstone is piaintiff. She is acting a3 her own lawyer in the case and they say she is making it lively for sorau'of those lawyer chaps at Deadwood and they all stand in awe of her. She has the reputation of being a terror when on the warpath, and it doesn't take but a little to cause her to dig up the hatchet. The Deadwood newspa per reporters fight shy of the old lady, and although she is a perfect nuisance around an institution of that kind as well as other public offices, they never speaK of her in anything but the most respectful tones.

Old Hank Wright tried to measure swords with her one time, but when she threatened to pull all the hair out of bis head (no small job) and throw him in the red creek, he humbly apologized and is now her sworn friend and is one of her proteges. The writer remembers an occasion when the Pio neer office was only 6aved from total anihilation at the hands of this female hurricane by the shrewdest diplomacy and an humble apology delivered in the most suave manner that a frightened reporter can assume in the most trying moment. Indeed, distance only gives the writer courage to refet to it on this occasion. -Emil Willoutb, a brother-in-law of John Treber ot Dead wood, die 1 at the Yankton asvlnm Mmday. He leaves a wife and one child.

It is estimated by a recent arrival from that vicinitv that there are 400 men and 300 teams now in i' all River county working on the railroad. 1 1 can be jotted down in the year's weather dairy that the fhst rain of the season fell ye-terday afternoon. Just enonzn ora. sprinaie came on 10 lay the dust. J.

M. Woods has cisposed of the larger number of the valuable horses brought in by him a few weeks ago. They were sold to horsemen in all parts of the Hills. At the same hour that the fire department of Rapid City was out Sunday the department of Lead was engaged in a similar manner extinguishing flames in a dry goods establishment. -The Lead City Tribune states that in case Tilford is made the county seat of Meade county the Homestake railroad will be extended thereto.

The history of the Homestake enterprises would indicate that that company, is not in the habit of following townsite booms. From Thursday's Daily. Show 'rhem Around. To-iuorrow is the day set for the starting of the members of the Omaha board of trade for a visit through the Black Hills country. They will reach Rapid City Friday morning.

There will be something like half a hundred in the party and some action should be taken by the Rapid City board of trade looking toward a proper reception of the delegation. Arrangements should be made nut only to show them about the city bat take them to localities adjacent and tributary to the city to impress upon them the wonders that abound heieabouts and which go to make up a country rich in resources and alluring to the speculator. It must be borne in mind that these gentlemen will return to their homes prepared to air their opinions quite freely as to what they have seen and it behooves the people here see that everything of a beneficial nature is presented in a favorable and convii cing light. The suggestion conveyed herein should by all means be acted upon by the board of trade. Real Estate Deal.

For the snug little of 3,000 Messrs. Brennan and Sweeney yester day sold to S. A. Flower fifty-six lots in the Bre.iaan and Sweeney addition. It is understood that Mr.

Flower will place this property with eastern parties to an advantage. An Elegant Modet. Charley Stokes has completed an elegant model of his new drilling machine, and experts in machinery to whom he has exhibited it agree with him that it is destined to revolutionize all kinds of deen hole drilling. A steel cable is to 4- be used, attached to tbe drill, and this, by means of -a revolving table and a drum, is made to turn always the same way as the drill does its work. The slightest turn given the cable at the top will turn a drill in a bole 1,000 feet deep.

Thus no drill rods, save that on which is the bit, are required. There is no jointing or unjointing. The cable is rapidly rolled on tbe drum when it is necessary to withdraw the drill. Several other features are new, and altogether the machine is expected to do perfect work and more rapidly than any other made. Patent has been applied for, and Charley will go east with Job Mills to have the castings for his first machine made at that gentleman's foundry.

To Adjust the Loss-Insurance Adjuster George A. Arm- st rone, who happened to be in Dead- wood estimating the losses sustained by the Deadwood reduction works company, stopped off in Rapid City last evening for tbe purpose of reckoning the amount lost by L. Morris and Company by the of Sunday last. As soon as tbe matter of Insurance is settled up the firm will open again with a large and complete stock of tbe goods carried by their house. From Wednesday' Dally.

Fire Matters. President Brennan of the Black Hills Firemen's association on yesterday notified Chief Morgan of Lead City, chief Chi if Summers of Spearfish, Chief Whitbeck of Dead wood, Chief Behm of Sturgis, and Chief Boyd of Rapid City, that a meeting of the association will take place at Deadwood at 2 p. on April 2, being the time and place designated by the last meeting. He requests the chiefs of the various departments to notify the several companies in their respective towns to make preparations for sending delegates. Further Progress.

Considerable progress was made yesterday by these gentlemen who are interesting themselves in the establishment of a creamery at this place. It looks at present as though very little time will be lost before the enterprise be in in operation. The more the matter is looked into greater is the feeling that an establishment of the kind proposed by Mr. Forsha wiil be a paying institution and one of great benefit to iiapid City. The field to be filled is an extensive one.

By the right kind of management it will make this city the supply point of the entire Hills country in the way of bntter, cheese, eezs and other necessities of like description, farmers from every point can come here with the certainty of finding a market for their products in the creamery line and in that way the city will build up and increase that character of trade which in any community is very desirable. It is to be hoped that within a very few days it can be stated positively when this ireamery and cold storage business will be in operation. Death of a Doctor. A telephone message from Deadwood last evenine conveys the intslligence that Dr. J.

C. O'Neill, a well known physician, had died at three o'clock in the morning. The deceased was recog-nieed as a man who was well up in his profession, bat of late years has been given to excessive dissipation. A few weeks ago bis mind gave way and the board of insanity took him in charge. WhUe awaiting transportation to Yankton-he grew rapidly weaker in physical strength until yesterday he breathed his last.

He is to be buried from the Congregafional church, Deadwood, this afternoon. Accent on the "Mel." A correspondent of a fct. paper states that Dakota's new governor's name should be pronounced with the accent on the first syllable. The cor respondent claims as his authority the governor himself. Road From Sturgls.

Railroad Lnsineer Andrews is now in Sturgis and it is claimed for the pur pose of setting; grade stakes for the narrow gaage road Irom that ton up Iloulder Park and to Deadwood. A note from Sturgis to The Jouenal last evening states that the general im pression up there is that work will be- gin on this road this spring. Calcula tisns are being made to this effect. Nothing Definite. Nothing seems to he definitely settled yet in regard to the rebuilding of the Deed wood reduction works.

The pa (ers above state that Professor Clark left on Sunday foi Denver and from thence goes to New 'fork where he ex peets to remain a month completing a roastei of his own invention, obviating the difficulties now existing in the Buckners as to the uniform roasting refractory ores. TheTimea states that "all sorts of rumors are good bad and indifferent and many ex tremelv The directors have not determined npon a method for rais ing the necessary lunds for rebuilding and that th? report promulgated that Carpenter had placed 4.000 shares at St. Paul is not true.

A number of the good ladies of Rapid Citv have interested themselves in the education and christianizing of th Chinese of this city and have already a very respectable class. The celestials themselves are highly pleased at the idea and are making rapid strides to ward becoming versed in the English language both as to reading and writing. One of the moet positive evidences of advancing intelligence among the China boys was demonstrated yesterday when one of them had his name added to the subscription listcf TnE Journal. More than this some of the yoang men of the city will be glal to learn that the Chinese boys are learning to write in a more convenient language as hitherto when they have lost their wash tickets they have never been able to remember theii number. Petition For a Mall Route.

A petition was circulated yesterday and quite extensively signed for the establishment of a mail route to Lookout. At present tbo mail for that locality goes through to Deadwood and from there by the Custer stage line. The petition is addressed to the second assistant postmaster general, and prays that the present loote be extended from Rochford to Lookout. Shonld tbs department accede, to this request, mails will reach there forty-eight hours earlier. i Gale Hill Dead.

Gale K. Hill, who will be well remembered by many people of Rapid City died on March 1th at Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado. Gale Hill came to the Hills in 1877 and from that time until 1S79 or 'SO served in the capacity of a messenger on the old Cheyenne and Black Atacre line, afterwards chanzed to the Sidney stage line and which line at that time carried the monthly shipments of gold brick to the railroad. In 1S78 tbe deceased with Scott Davis, Captain Smith and Boone May, while en-ronte on one of their regular trips, were fired upon by robbers at Cold Springs 1878. Davis wounded in the hip, telegraph operator named Campbell, a passenger, was instantly killled, will have been taken up, and consequently that rich strip lying immedi ately along the great stream will be very much more valuable than the others.

Telephone System. Bat few of those who have daily use for the Black Hills telephone lines know really bow mammoth the system is. In fact there is probably no locality in the United states that can boast of so complete and extensive system of telephonic communication as is en joyed right here. It is difficult to real ize that two standing 240 mi'es apart can talk with each other and be plainly understood, yet such is the distance from Ilot Springs in Fall River county to Sundance, Wyoming. Man ager Kewman who has butlt up this magnificent system informed TnE Joubnal yesterday that the line between those two points cover-d a distance of 240 miles and was used almost daily in direct intercourse.

Standing at the phone in Rapid City and all the other points, patrons of the line can talk with ease with any of the subscribers iu Hot Springs, Buf falo Gap, Custer, Tilford, Spring Valley, S'urgis, Whitewood, Fort Meade, Spearfish, Deadwood, Central, Carbonate, Lead, Terraville, Galena, Sundance and many intermediate points. It is a great convenience truly. "EH." The literary inclined and amusement loving people of Rapid City should not forget in the rush of business incident to the coming of the boom that the great humorist, Eli Perkins, will be here on the 26th to deliver one of his characteristic lectures. It will be a treat among treats and costs but little. Hon.

W. T. Coad. Hon.W. T.

Coad arrived home from his eastern trip yesterday morning, Mrs. Coad accompanying him from Omaha, Mr. Coad was in Washington during the inaugural ceremonies and also attended the caucuses of tbe Da kotans npon the question of appointments ariil Dakota affairs generally. Arriving at the capital he found matters in such condition that he very promptly withdrew his own candidacy for the governorship and joined tbe South Dakota people in a unanimous recommendation for Mellette's appointment. He found that the matter had so shaped itself that opposition or disagreement among South Dako- tans would certainly insure the appointment of a North Dakota man and that man doubtless would have been Ordway.

General Noble, so Mr. Coad that he would hold up the nomination for thirty days to give applicants for the place ample time to secure endorsements. Mr. Coad states that in going from placo to place he heard considerable talk and many inquiries concerning this country and thinks there will be considerable capital and- immigration way during the succeeding few month-). That Road From SturRls.

fhe papers from above announce the arrival of Engineer Andrews, and that he has made the necessary ar- rangraents for the final survey of the Sturgis and Deadwood road. The people represented by Mr. Andiews have purchased'. the Oilman toll road and the track will follow the grade of this pretty closely. Andrews has engaged ten men and transportation for the work in surveying and begins at once.

The present project is to connect with the Deadwood Central. It is learned in a semi official way by The Journal that the first project determined upon by the people who are engaged in this enterprise was to build a broad guage road connecting with the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley. This plan was strongly objected to by the citizens of Sturgis who have money in tbe scheme for the reason that they the road fo have a terminus at that place, necessitating the building of roundhouses, and the making of the town a transfer point. For those tea- sous the original plans were changed and tne bturgis people are conse quently that much happier. A Close Call.

At 3:50 a. m. an alarm sounded, and owing to the prevailing at the time, the of fire was high wind locelity of the fire being in a ro of frame buildings, it was thought that Rapid City was doomed to have a large loss of property, but our efficient fire department responded piomptly and the fire was confined to the building occapied by Spran lo's restaurant. The building is owned by G. and is insured.

Sprando's loss is not known, as he is now at Galena. Cliffs building was slightly damaged. A Candidate. Otto Anderson, of Rockerville precinct, has long been known in democratic conventions in Pennington county. He is an intelligent farmer, with hisown ideas of legislation, and has never asked for an office at the hands of his fellow men.

Now he would like to go to Sioux Falls as a delegate to the constitutional convention, and announces the fact. He says he lived at Sioux Falls formerly, is well acquainted there, and would like to visit old friends at the same time that he is helping make a new constitution or provide for resubmitting an old one. It Wasn't Tascott. It wasn't Tascott after all. The tectives, after following one clue 8,000 miles, have discovered at last that they were on a false scent.

They are apparently no nearer capture of the notorious criminal than the' were a year ago. Since the murder was committed scores of men in all parts of the country have been arrested on suspi cion of being tbe murderer. Tens of thousands of dollars have been spent in traveling and telegraphing and large rewards have been offered. Rot the criminal still eludes the grnsp of the law. "Murder will oat" is an old saying, and Tascott will probably be caught some day and brought to punishment, bat this long delay and this successful escape for so long a time is a pabiic calamity.

If Tascott can commit a murder and escape in spite of these desperate efioris to capture him, other criminals capable of similar crizaes are rsrESCMTST JEZLJrU-JEZ COB.CE And are now on display at the BEE-1IIVE of POTTER HAINES New Satteens and Challies in elegant patterns.
