Prof. Teagardcn reports good s lcs of season tickets { or the Chautauqua during the past few days and that the people are rapidly awakening to th < , fact : that a great literary and musica 1 : treat is being brought to th m' ' at so little expcnse to ach of those who take advantage of the opportunity. ' Whenevcr there's a stronl ? zephyr it seem3 to hunt .up A. E. Anderson and throw trouble at him in bunches. Early last spring one .caught him out at night and took away 'his new $6.3373 head gear , and last 'l'hur.sday night another one came bowling along and removcd sevcral bunches of shingJes from the r of of his building which permitted rain. which followed in torreJ.tts , to permeatc the interior of his jewelry stor < > . . Mention of the crop and weather conditions in the l n- PUDLICA are not made with the view of enlightenting thosc wbo reside here in Custer county or endeavoring- tcll 'em something they don't know , but the RIt- PUBLICAN has several thousand readers , former residen ts and persons intcrested in such matters here who desire to keep post cd on these conditions which they do by reading the reliable reports furnished them in the colum1s , of this great family journal. C. C. Coffman and wife , Qf Eugene , Oregon , visited in the 'city last aturday with the family of D. M. Amsberry.

Whih many divertations entered nte the formula to make a real gOO ( ' time , he d wells longer and des cribcs more minutely the timl spent In angling , when tellin of his trip , not forgetting to add "And its no tish story , cither. ' There has never beeu a 'year I Custer county , perhaps , in whicl the prospects for a good cro ] were so discouraging and the I revived and became so enCOUrag ing in a short time , as the presen year. Spring was cold and back ward , corn planting being com pleted several wecles later thai usual. Then the cold rains caml and chilly weather continuci but , presto , change , the SU' ' l came forth and spread its wart rays , and seed that had tail dormant sprung into lifc ani grew with a rapidity that almos took the breath of those wh saw the transformation.

Jess Gandy has finally decided that he is a candidatc for coutlty office , but just which particular one he does not know-or if 'he does , will not disclose. Anyhow , Jess has paid the price " ( $5.00) ) necessary to declare himself , and some of , the other fenows arc losing sleep and wondering where he will finally head in , because Jess. is a power in the land and will receive a strong , hearly and unshakable support for any public office for which he may announce himself a caUl1i. date. date.L. L. E. Cole , the funeral director , has made necessary arrangements whereby his name will appear on the republican ballot at the primary election for the office 01 'coroner. Mr. Cole q not only well qualified for the position , but it still rcmains a fact thai whoever is county coroner should be a resident of the county scat. In case of death where hh services are needed the services , of the sheriff or deputy is also demanded , hence a call is sent te the county seat and in man ) ' cases complications arise by the L coroner being a physican re ic1. ing in an adjoi ing town and ou1 somewhere-nobody knows where -calling on patients. J : > elaYE can be avoided by this officia1 being a resident at the county seat and Mr. Cole is a position to properly discharge the duties.
