How John Was Elected.

New York, April 3.-The politics
OF one part of the country differ from
the politics of another part OF the
country only as one star differs from
the other. So | thought as | chatted |
to-day with State Senator John Ell
kins, of Colorado. He is brother
of big Steve Elkins, who managed
Blaine's campaign in 1884. He is
altogether a different man in appear
ance. He is tall, like his brother,
but is angular and rawboned. He
has big head ard aquilIne nose.
He was a soldier in the confederate
service, entering Missouri regiment
at the age of I6 and remaining until
the close of the war. When ne was
running for office a year ago last fall
the story was circulated that he had
been one of Jeff Thompson's guer-
rlllas. 1t was important that the story
should be refuted, as he was run :
ming on the republican ticket and
while they might not stick on con-
! federate soldier, they would on a
bushwhacker. So Elkins wrote to his
old captain, telling him the situation,
except as to what ticket he was run
ming on, and asking for certificate oi
his service in the confederate army.
I believe this is the first time in his
tory where a republican candidate
. has been known to parade his con
: federate service as reason for elec
t ton to office. In due time the lette
came back. The captain certified t
l Johns service all right, but conclud
: ed the epistle with a remark that ha
e not been invited. He evidently took
2 tor granted that the politics Of an oil
e confederate was not republican. 70

SITUATION.
El Dorado springs is situated in
rough, rocky, and wooded country,
IN the northwestern corner OF Cedar
county, Missouri, II miles from
Walker station and : miles from
Schell City; these two places beng
the largest railroad points near. A
daily mail is carried between the
Springs and Schell City. Visitors
can reach the Springs from Walker
and Schell City by daily hacks which
Will carry persons to the best hotels
in the town. These hacks bring
visitors from all the large cities in
the United States.
The main Spring has been walled,
covered and sealed and pagoda
built over 1t. The water escapes
some feet from the Spring through
pipe. From this pipe flows contln-
uously a bright pure cold stream Of
water, which is not diminished by
drouth or exceeded by flood. This
water cures or helps nearly all dis
eases except consumption. The
Spring is surrounded by beautiful
park. covered with grass and shaded
with oak trees. A large summer
building has been erected in the park
which affords ample seating roonn
Another Spring is being developed
about one fourth of mile from the
main Spring by the Cruise Bros. A
beautiful park surrounds this Spring
also, and IN shade and grass it Is
equal to the park that encloses tint
l main Spring. The water of thi
Spring is not so cold as that of th'
u main one. but IN time will probabl
become as favorite resort as tin
" other Spring.

contains some fine brick buildings
Cruise and Dobyns have just put u
the finest brick building IN the tow
;, to accommodate their banking busl
;. ness. The building is a very larg
- one and is a credit to any town. Th
town supports II hotels and 80 pr
" vate boarding houses, which al
" filled to overfowing during the h
months. A Democrat paper calle
the El Dorado Democrat is publlshe
daily and weekly at the Springs
also a Republican paper called Il
Uncle Sam. Ell Dorado contains
steam bath houses which obtain Il
water for bathing purposes fro
large Springs, the water from whi
is too strong for drinking purpose
but is well adapted to bathing.
There is one church, which also a
