There is a limit to human endurance, as the Associated Press and Western Union Telegraph company (not the Cheyenne and Black Hills) have demonstrated by their treatment of the newspapers of the Black Hills, all ot which have ceased taking press reports, or, to be more precise, have refused to pay for something seldom received. For years the Pioneer has paid the corporations named seventy-fivo dollars a month for a copy of overland dispatches. Our readers know the quantity and quality we have received.

As a rule some nortion nf tlin Hun is The PIONEER is in receipt of teri Wednesday's mail was heavily freighted with doubly enveloped and daintily executed copper plate missives reading as follows: Mr. Jolm Davis Requests your presence at the marriage ceremony or his daughter Kate to M. C. liiura. at eight o'clock, Wednesday evening, November '24th, 1SN), Congregational Church.

Deadwood, l. T. At Home Thursdays in February, 1881. Lee street. An accompanying card announced Reception From nine until twelve o'clock, at Mrs.

Burt's Williams street. Few members ef Deadwood society will be surprised at the announcement, as the engagement has been food for gossip for several weeks past. Mr. Thum is one of the oldest and most highly esteemed citizens of the Hills, having immigrated in '77, and at once identified himself with the people and locality ny embarking with Geo. W.

Brown in the banking bust- is. Prosperity rested upon the house from the outset, and blessed every un dertaking. At the organization of the First National bank, into which that of Brown Thum was merged, Mr. Thum was appointed cashier, which position he still retains. His fiance, Miss Kate Davis, is the daughter of Mr.

John Davis, residing on Whitewood near the month of Gold Run. The family were for many years residents of Omaha where Mr. Davis filled the office of assessor for several consecutive terms. He came to the Hills in '76 and was followed by his family a year later, but in time to permit Miss Davis to become one of the organizers of a society in which she has ever been a great favorite. She is very pretty, and highly accomplished.

From the deferred date of the home receptions we suspected an eastern tour, and upon interviewing a confidential friend we learn that it will extend to Florida. The wedding will undoubtedly be the event of the season, and possesses the novelty of being the first held in a Black Hills sanctuary in accordance with the conventionalities of societv. Sale of the News. All of the material, right, title and good will of the Evening News, passed by purchase into the hands of A. W.

Merrick, proprietor of the Pioneer, last Wednesday. The sale was made by Mr. Miller, not as intimated by jealous ones, through necessity, but because its late publishers desired to embark in the more congenial and profitable business, stock raising. Under the direction of Mr. Miller the News has been a success from its first appearance, over a year ago, and by this we mean that while in keeping with contemporaries it has not yielded a fortune to its owner, it has brought in a fair revenue.

The fire which occurred soon after the first issue of the paper, entirely destroyed the oflico, but Mr. Miller was equal to the emergency, and in an incredible short space of time secured new material and re sumed publication. During his brief journalistic career Mr. Miller has dis played remarkable energy, untiring zeal and talent above the average, consequently his retirement from the field must be regretted by the entire fra ternity. Mr.

Merrick has not fully decided upon the disposition of his purchase, but seriously contemplates continuing the publication enlarged to eight columns, and with a complete editorial and reportorial staff, in which event the people of the Northern Hills may rely upon having an evening newspaper worthy the niiino and their support. Shall Ministers be Politicians? The lyceum of the Methodist Episco pal church met at Evans' court house Wednesday, and was called to order at 7:30 o'clock, Edward C. Butler in the chair. A large attendance and unusual interest characterized this session. On the debate being called Mr.

Martin spoke on the negative, and in a labored argument sustained the proposition that the ministry should not mingle in politics. He was followed by the affirmative speakers, Rev. R. H. Dolli- ver and Mrs.

Hoffman, and the debate was closed by a masterly effort on the part of Prof. Hamilton, who took issues against the idea that the clergy should participate in the battle of politics. Mrs. Hoffman's discourse was admira ble, as was Rev. Mr.

Dolliver's, and it would require a keen critic to decide on the merits of a debate so ably handled. The same subject has been pro posed for the next session of the lyceum and four other good speakers have been engaged. The lyceum proposes to do a good work for the young peo ple of Deadwood, and its meetings are well attended. After the singing came the most refreshing part of the sociable coffee and sandwiches and an early adjournment. To the ladies of the M.

E. Church too much credit cannot be given for the warm cup of coffee given our reporter. The Hearst Ditch. Enterprise: Mr. Samuel McMaster, the gentlemanly superintendent of the Homestake company, has just completed, in all probability, one of the longost tunnels in the Black Hills.

It is 1,150 feet in length, including some open cuts. This tunnel forms a part of what is known as the Hearst ditch which conveys the water from White-wood creek to Lead City, and will be one of the greatest benefits, not only to Lead City, but also to the mills at Ter-raville and Central, and there will now be no need of hanging up stamps any more for the want of water. This new ditch has a capacity lor furnishing about thirty inches of water, which is more than enough to supply the mills in this city with all the water they want. The water in this ditch is connected with the Golden Star 120-stamp mill, and furnishes water to it separate and distinct from the other ditch. The new water supply is working like a charm, and as a matter of course, every one connected with the enterprise is nappy.

Two year old buffalo saddles are very fat and average about 300 pounds each. The Merchants line yesterday received 100,000 pounds of general merchandise. The county hospital contains eight patients, none, however, in a critical condition. A trifle more acid would be tolerated in our Southern Hills correspondence. Awake yel Fifteen mines on the Pacific slope and in the Black Hills paid $440,000 in dividends in October.

Marriages may be conceived in heaven but they are born in Deadwood. And so are the children. We have been requested by several up-gulch subscribers to give Garfield's majority In Nebraska. It is a trifle over 26,000, McManus' train from Pierre has arrived with 60,000 pounds of freight for Bramble 4 Dickinson Jewett, resident agents. Every midnight yelp may be that of a thoughtless nonentity; yet every property owner and fireman's nerve will hearken all the same.

Jewett A Dickinson have a train on the road between Sidney and Dead-wood, freighted with pounds of Esmeralda machinery. The Alta mine at Rochford had a re-oent partial clean-up whioh was highly satisfactory. The mine will make a oomplete olean-up Nov. 80th. The Pioneer concludes its weather serial with the concluding remark ventured by our observing foreman that "It is moderating like thunder." The regular bi-monthly clean up of the Homestake company's mills, consisting of five large bricks, aggregating $150,000, were brought down on Wednesday.

County Superintendent of Schools Edwards is in receipt of six additional applications for school districts, which, if granted, would make thirty-four in the county. Snyder's 20-temp mill at Garden City, at the head of False Bottom, will start up within a short time on Pacific ore the latter being of good and paying value. Several hundred barrels of apples, boxes of lemons, and other fine-grained fruit, en route to Deadwood, were stopped in their mad haste, behind bulls, before they reached the frost-belt, and are safely housed. A friend says it is getting dangerous to call a woman handsome in Dead-wood. In the first place they all know it; and secondly, if there are any ill favored maidens around, they talk of anything but loving kindness.

Parties who have just returned from the great freight highways leading to this city from the south and southeast, tell us that the recent storm lashed its tail and roared louder near Rapid and beyond, than in this placid region. If Mr. Miller, as the Press claims, was not "cut and kiln dried sufficiently for newspaper life," he had at least the sense to know it and act accordingly, the same which it cannot be charged to some twitterers on the precarious sprig of evening journalism. Just for a flyer, and furthermore, because it is a fact, the Pioneer gives the official figure of the amount of freight received by the Fred T. Evans freight line for the month ending Nov.

15, as 1,965,600 pounds. There is no end to the avoirdupois of the Evans line. The rumor is current and apparently well authenticated that the railroad company have at last completed ar rangements to commence work on their line between Deadwood and Crook. It Is the intention to do the rock work this winter, and have the entire grade ready by spring. The district attorney has brought ac tion upon the appearance bond given by former probate judge John E.

Fras-er, to recover $700, the amount of bail required by the court. Fraaer is at present in the Tombstone country, Arizona, and is reported to be worth considerable money. Mr. J. Van Dyke shut down his saw mill on the southwest branch of the Bear Buttes, Nov.

The Van Dyke mill has a capacity for sawing 10,000 feet of lumber every ten hours. nuuertorn appeal lor charity is ft. most pathetic one and should be heeded by such "as are able to contribute.

Thirty-three widows, one hundred and ten orphans and seven hundred men thrown out of employment in the face of a Canadian winter, forms a volume of misery that should excite immediate attention. Mr. Fullenwider, the lower Main street grocer, has returned from the foot-hills, but did not bring his delayed fruit crop. Yankton Press 10: Secretary Hand will leave for the east to-morrow, to remain two or three weeks. General Beadle will act as secretary during his absence.

Mr. Hammond, perhaps the best known and certainly as responsible a contractor as the Hills can score, will, to-morrow, whirl over the range to Custer, where he has important and valuable mining interests. "Uncle" John Cashner uncle because he has no marriageable nieces, cousins or aunts left the city yesterday for his bucolic retirement, with two enclosed cords of graham bread, and the Lord bless him, for he said he would. Sam'l McMaster, and we this minute would, if pencil could do it, attach congressional or senatorial title-was in the city yesterday. Mr.

McMaster is "liable here and liable there," and a "fellow" as wants to interview him, is wondrously liable not to find him. Yankton Press 10: Mr. and Mrs. D. T.

Bramble left this morning for New York. Mrs. Bramble has never fully recovered from the injuries received by being thrown from her carriage early in the summer, and her object in going to New York is to obtain eminent medical aid. Rev. Dr.

Pennell, recently appointed rector of St. John's P. E. church, this city, nccompanied by his family, arrived from New Y'ork, Thursday evening. He has a fine appearance, and is reputed a gentleman of large natural abilities und thorough education.

Deadwood extends a cordial greeting. Mr. J. H. Johnston, one of the best known Deadwood loaners of hones in days agone, is in the city.

Johnston is now engaged in a profitable livery busi ness in Rapid City, and is one of the boys who adopts as a maxim the good old theory of "pay as you go; put up or shut up." A few more men enter taining such extravagant theories would wonderfully add to the local and national exchequer. Colonel Parker returned Wednesday from Rapid and Tigerville with one of the largest, if not the handsomest, ears ever disported by mortal man. Mr. Kretzinger started with him in a private conveyance, but a mile or two in a roaring blizzard was sufficient, and Kretz. and his go-cart turned back and the Colonel continued to Deadwood by stage.

That ear is in swaddling clothes, and will doubtless be all right in a day or two. Colonel Robert Floorman of the Fort Meade hydraulic company, and Major Albert Armstrong of Saint Paul, arrived by private conveyance last evening and are registered at the Merchants. The major, who holds an interest in the hy draulic property on Rapid, is on his first visit to the Hills, and expresses astonishment as far as he has gone. He will remain in this vicinity for several days. Colonel Floorman informs us that owing to the intensely cold weather work has been suspended at the mines, but he hopes they will be able to resume before spring.

In the Dregs. The New York Star of the 10th brings the following pitiful message concerning a former well known citizen, and one of the leaders of the Red Ribbon movement in this city: "While the patrolmen of the down town precincts were presenting their batch of prisoners to Justice Patterson at the tombs court yesterday morning, Officer dimming of the Fourth precinct led a man to thebsr who greatly resem bled George Francis Train. He had the same massive head, the same curls and arrangement of the hair, and the face looked the same except that it bore a light colored moustache and short goatee. "How have the mighty fallen!" exclaimed an officer who was misled by the resemblance of the prisoner, who was charged with intoxication. The officer stated that he found his prisoner in Chatham street late on Monday night, unable to take care of himself.

The prisoner gave his name as Patrick A. Gallagher, a lawyer recently from I.eadville, where he had made some money, ami owned a great deal of property. He used to be at- tached to Gen. Custer's command in the Black Hills. He had a wife and two children, and at present had a temporary residence at the Hoffman house.

The magistrate said he felt for him in his present plight, and would only commit him to the prison to recover from his spree. After the prisoner had slept a couple of horn's, he was visited by a reporter of the Star, to whom he said that after accumulating some property and a little money, he left the west and came east about the end of lost May, Gallagher was walking about the stone corridor in his bare feet. He was dressed in a shabby-genteel suit of dark cloth, over which was a faded and somewhat frayed brown overcoat. He added after a pause, that he had been under the command of Gen. Custer before the Black Hills expedition.

At the time of the massacre of the Little Big Horn, he was stationed at Fort Laramie. In 1875 he moved to Lead ville and prospected in mining, at the same time practicing his original pro fession of the law. Mining proved profitable and he accumulated a good deal of property, which he yet owns, Last summer he came to this city, and a habit for liquor got possession of him and he spent his money freely, drawing no loss than $500 at a time from the bank. All his relatives are in Colorado. He acknowledged that he had become a slave to intemperance, but this had been his first time in prison, and ho had resolved to abandon the bowl that enslaves.

He will be liberated to-day." L. B. Smith, of Faribault, says, I am still wearing an "Only Lung Fad," and it has helped me; I intend to have another of extra strength soon. See Adv. Sitting Bull In No Hurry to Surrender-Roving Hostlles The Miles City Journal of the 131b, contains a batch of Indian news from which we extract the following: Scout Everts and Lieutenant Clark returned from their trip to Sitting Bull's camp Monday, without being able to complete negotiations for his surrender.

They state that he is very hostile to whites approaching his camp, and that he positively refuses to surrender. He and his warriors are on this side of the line where they intend to remain, and Sitting Bull says that "If the Big Chief wants him he will have to come out and take him." He is well supplied with arms, ammunition and provisions as the buffalo are numerous in that vicinity, and consequently he feels good thereat. Should an attempt be made to capture him he will doubtless give the government much trouble, and as winter is coming on it would be difficult to get supplies to the large body of troops which would necessarily have to be sent after him. Altogether the outlook in regard to capturing this noted warrior is dark, and as he still has a large number of followers and as morewould assuredly join him from the various tribes now roaming this country, a campaign against him in the dead of winter, might result as disastrously as the Custer massacre on the Little Big Horn. Already the com mander of Fort Keogh is having the entire post fortified by piling wood around it and it is patrolled day and night by guards who, we believe, are ordered not to allow an Indian to enter after certain hours.

This feature looks significant and taken in connection with the fact that there are now over two thousand warriors, most of them recent arrivals, camped within a mile of Fort Keogh, is not entirely un called for. However, we know ef no special cause of alarm, and we would advise our readers to continue on in the even tenor of their way until something more serious than fortifying Keogh should happen. From a dispatch just received at Fort Keogh we learn that" Lieut. Kis-lingbury and his Crow SscoutsJ were attacked on the Muscelshell Thursday by a party of Yanktonias Sioux who wounded some of his party. George Carter anda boy named Sed-wick who were driving teams loaded with hides belonging to John Chinnick, were jumped by Indians on Sunday creek, and report saysthatj they were killed.

Chinnick and a party from town have started to the rescue, and we will learn further of the matter when they return. THE NEXT LEGISLATURE. The Result As Far As Known In Dakota Districts. Dakota possesses thirteen legislative districts. The following have been heard from.

Robinson, former proprietor of the American house, Central, and Mr. McDougal, have purchased the right, title and fixtures of the Headquarters saloon and restaurant, Lee street, leased the building of the Bosebrough brothers, and will conduct the establishment on first-class principles. They take possession on Saturday. The Rosebroughs will shortly embark in a different line of business in this city. Every paper and almost every tele gram details the burning of some mas sive structure or city, and the loss of life.

The cold weather increases the carelessness of the people and they accordingly must suffer. Isn't it rather remarkable that apparently solid and fire-proof buildings like the St. Peters asylum should so easily burn, while fire-traps, such as may be found in limited numbers in this city, remain seemingly non-combustible? The Methodist Episcopal church society has secured a lot between the public school building and the Congre gational church, for which they paid $1,050 and upon which they propose, next season, to erect a handsome and commodious house of worship. The structure will be of brick and cost be tween three and four thousand dollars. The society have about $300 as a build ing fund on hand and propose by various means to add thereto through the winter.

It is a conspicuous fact that the only question thus far discussed by certain recently elected members of the territorial legislature, is one relative to amendments to election laws. The people would bo pleased to notice an expression of more comprehensive views, and upon matters of greater public concern. The discussion thus far indicates rather too much selfishness and political ambition to the exclusion of the welfare of the community, to be in every way acceptable. From Judge Graham and Colonel Floorman, late arrivals from the east, we learn that recent storms and cold weather extended throughout the cast.

What Are You Going to do About It? An alarm of fire sounded about 7 o'clock Wednesday and was quickly re sponded to by a score of citizens and the local fire companies. The scene was laid on the second story of a frame building on Sherman street, below Roberts' restaurant. The South Deadwood hose company promptly attached to a hydrant at Whittaker's corner, and laid a line of hose to the scene of disorder.

The Homestake boys were on deck on time, but being nearest the output and discovering that the lire had been squelched, made no attachment. Both companies retired as promptly as they came. The origin of the fire as stated by Miss Johnson, who occupies the building, sprung from an overheated pile of wood in a wood-box in the rear of a stove in a room on the second story of the building, and without fur ther damage than the destruction of the wood, was extinguished. That the fire was providentially a small affair, or that the fire companies were promptly on hand, or that one or more fire-plugs were frozen up, is not of half so much consequence as that this fire-stricken and yet fire-saved town is every moment in the hands of as careless a class of occupants of as carefully a constructed class of fire magazines, and disguised sepulchres as human agency could devise, or maws of death demand. The demolition of stoutly constructed and seemingly fire-defying brick and stone structures on the bleak prairies of Minnesota, and the roasting of a score of helpless maniacs, will yet have its counterpart in Deadwood unless this peoplo call a halt in their criminal negligence and wanton abandon in all matters pertaining to fire protection.

We are no alarmist, nor yet the son or cousin or aunt of one, but wo do believe that unless an extra cinch is placed upon this flagrantly careless people, the hor rors of sad St. Peters will yet be appor tioned this community.

Dead. Herman Veight was killed last evening at the hoisting works of the Home-stake mine, Lead City, by an accident.

The cause of his death is attributed to none other than himself, It seems that the signal was given for the cage to raise and reverse, and about ten minutes afterwards he was found dead with his head fearfully crushed. It is supposed he gave the signal himself by mistake, and having his head out when the engines were reversed was thrown against something, killing him instant- It would fill with serrow the heart of an average Cincinnati man to see the way in which the hogs are chased down the streets of Deadwood by festive dogs of eyery color, size and persuasion.
