From Wednesday S ST. Paul Globe

- -
The commission appointed by the
last legislature to FIX the locati ia of
the second state prison met at the cap
itol yesterday in accordance With the.
provisions Of the act. But three were
present in the forenoon and an ad-
journment was taken until 3 o'clock.
There were: present: John S. Pillsbu-
ry, Minneapolis, president; William
Crooks, st. Paul, secretary; Alexander
McCrea, Perham, and Henry foehler,
Henderson. The session was mainly
devoted to hearing arguments in favor
of different. localities, some Of which
were presented in writing and some
by representatives Of the localities
A gentleman from Dresbach presented
specimens Of a sandstone from that
place which was adapted for grind
/ stones. and argued that the manufacture
of grindstones would not bring the
convict labor Of the state into compe-
tition with the free artisan labor of
the Northwest, there being no compe-
tition in that line west of Ohio. Sec
Rotary Phelps of the chamber Of com
MERGE spoke in favor of the Dresbacll
grindstone plan, saying than its ma
terial was the best in the world. A
| committee from the St. Paul Trades
Assembly was present, but on learning
that the commission was bound by the
law to locate the prison at, or near a
stone quarry, the committee retired
| with the suggestion that a choice in
the location might lessen the compe-
tition with honest labor. H.~H. Hart
secretary of corrections and charities
suggested that as farming to limited
extent would be an advisable and pro-
bahle feature Of the institution at,some
future time, more than forty acres
should be secured. The location should
be with q view to the diversity Of in
dustries, which has heretofore lessen
ed the evils of contract prison labor in
this state. The commission went into
executive session to hear the report
of John T. Young of St. Paul who has
visited many localities in the state as
an expert sent out by the commission.
An adjournment was then taken to
meet at the call of the president not
later than Sept. 10, when the commits
sion will proceed in body to the
principal localities proposed. The fol-
lowing are the localities proposed
and the principal stone belonging to
each:
st. Cloud, East St. Cloud, Rockville,
Sank Rapids, Watab, St. Marysville
and Little Falls, granite Of various
kinds; Hastings, Red Wing, Frontenac,
Hokah, Spring Valley, Mantorville,
Mankato and Kasota, limestone, Ores
back, blue and bluff sandstone; Lu-
verne and Pipestone, jasper, etc.;
Kettle River, sandstone; Duluth,
Granite, dark trap and sandstone.

There are also many others where
board can be had from 81 to 81 week
Lam stopping at the Windsor, which is
considered one of the best in the city. 1t
is kept by Dr.. Crabbs and lady. who take
great pains in looking after the comfort
and welfare Of their many guests.
All the different branches Of business
are fully represented here. There are
two banks, seven churches and good
schools. The population is about 5000
of which one-half is colored. The city
has but. one principal street, known as
Central Avenue, which runs parallel
with Hot Springs Creek. 1t is very
nice street, clean and neat. The city
boasts of the best system of water works
west of the Mississippi river; they also
have a fine. fire department, which is
comlu,scd of four ditferen, divisions An
electric light, With the assistance Of gas,
gives Light to the .belated travellers. There
is good police force, cosAp'sed Of both
whites and blacks, and the city is "a model
of good order. A large revenue is
derived from It's saloons, of which there
are about twenty, each proprietor paying
yearly license of 81, 400. There are
quite number of retail stores, both for
groceries and general merchandise, and
several good drug stores, and things can
be bought cheaper here than in Little
Falls. -
The government is erecting three
building here, to lie used as hospitals fol
disabled soldiers and sailors, as soon as
completed; $4,000 have already been
expended, aad $4,000 additional will be
required to complete them, when they
will be the finest buildings Of the kind
in the west. 1t is stated that Senator
John A. Logan came here some years
ago to be treated for the rheumatism and
the waters were 80 beneficial that hi
conceived the idea of building these
hospitals, and at the next session OF
congress secured the above nance
appropriation Of $4,000. he AIS
secured free bath house forthos unable
to pay; this is known as the Mudhole.
AS for farming in this neighborhood
there is but little done, and those wht
are thus employed appear to be very

A Letter from the Arkansas
Hot Springs.

Editor OF the Transcript: 5s &C.,. ss5s
s. I promised to write to several Of my
friends, but thought letter to tue Tran
script would be read by them all ana
none would feel sighted. Up e. date I
have been here five weeks, and feel
greatly benefited by tile waters. | have
taken 81 baths and feel we'll repaid for
the time and expense, will give you
brief description of the place. The Hot
Springs are situated in Hot Springs
Mountains on creek in the valley of the
same name, at a distance Of IS miles
southwest Of Little Rock, the capital of
the state, and 90 miles from Malvern, the
junction OF the Iron Mountain railroad
and the narrow gauge railroad which
connects Hot Springs TO that line. The
Springs flow from the west eide of these
mountains, which are a spur Of the
Ozark, ct an elevation of from 700 to
800 feet above the level of the sea and
from so to rs feet above the level of the
valley, and few feet from the margin
Of the creek. Strangers visiting these
Springs have an impression that hot aud
cold Springs are within few feet of
each other, but this is not the case All
the Springs are hot with the exception
Of one. The waters from these Springs
: flow into beautiful creek 30 Or 80 feet
wide. and cause a slight vapor to arise
from its surface. In the hottest Spring
an egg can be boiled in ID minutes. All
the Springs are on the east side of the
creek. The curative properties of these
waters have given them world wide
reputation and many thousands of
afflicted human beings who diseases have
baffjed the most skillful physicians haye
by the use Of these waters been restored
to health, and returned a blessing to their
homes and families.
/ will give you something of a
description of the. City Of The Springs.
The city of Hot Springs is situated in a
deep valley between two high mountains,
Hot Springs creek running. close alon g
the side of iAe mountain on the west side
of the valley. All the business houses
are built on the east side of the valley,
also most of the private residences and
hotels, while the bath houses are located
on the west bank. Of these there are 10
which are located in the following order
commencing at the upper end of the
valley: Rocky Billo~s, Avenue, New
Hot Springs, New Rector, Palace, Old
Hale, Big Iron Springs, Old Iron
Springs, Rammelesberg, and Ozark. The
cost of a course of 81 bath at these bath
houses runs from 81 to Sc. The city is
we'll supplied with hotels, I will give

On Friday evening last young man
named Edward Burke, engaged on one
of the drives on The river, came near
meeting with watery grave while at
work on the logs. In some way he
went in and out Of sight, and not until
he was going down for the last time, was
he rescued by some of his comrads, who
took him out and brought him TO life.
He is young man about twenty-six
years Of age, and unable to swim. 1t is
a strange fact that hardly fifty per cent
of the daring rivers know how to swim,
and still there comparatively few deaths
by drowning reported among them

o'clock this morning officer Keegan
arrested two strangers at the Grand
Hotel who are known to be counter
letters, having successfully victimized
"a number Of Beloiters by passing off
bills, INSTRUMENTATION Of which had
been raised. The arrest was made In
accordance with dispatches received
from Madison, whore they had .pur-
sued this game on qMte an extensive
scale. One Of them gave his name as
Watson BENJAMIN. Several cards were
found upon the Other bearing the
name Of James A. Leonard. He also
had in his possession a pronaissory
note payable on demand from susy
