Was She Buried Alive?

AS the sun was going down
amid crimson and amethist splen,
doris last Sunday, scene so apall-
ing as to blanch the faces and
press the life, for the moment,
from out the hearts OF those who
Witnessed it, took place IN the
Congressional cemetery. The rel
atives of y deceased lady were
there to remove the body from the
receiving vault where it had been
deposited to await the return Of
the husband in order to inter it
with kindred dead. The clrcum-
stances attending the illness and
death ofthc lady were unusually
sad. Mrs. Baxter had but recent
~ returned home from o Southern
station, where she went to join her
husband, who is master mate in
the United States navy. A com.
plication of maladies rendered her

SPARED of the husband was tele-
graphed for, but was unable to
return home Immediately. He ar
rived the latter part Of last week,
when arrangements for the final
burial were made.
When the casket had been ia
ken from the vault the husband
expressed the desire to look for
the last TING upon his beloved
dead. The attendant removed
the outer lid SO THAT the face could
be viewed through the glass. The
changed position of The body aud
disarranged condition ofthe cloth
ing at once excited the agonizing
suspicion that a living body had
been placed among the dead. The
carefully arranged hair had been
torn from Its fastening and laii
over the shoulders in disorder.
The flowers that had been placed
on her bosom were scattered. The
folded hands had been wrenched
asnnder, and the palms we're open
and fingers strained apart, and
the eyes were started from their
sockets. The changes which
would naturally occur after lapse
of eleven days from death might
account for some of the alterations
which had taken place, but the
disheyeled hair, the appealing ex-
preston of hands and features,
create the horrible fear that the

SURVEYORS AT WORK..

Word was received yesterday from
our Smithwicks correspondent to the
effect that the L. E. & M. V. railroad
surveyors arrived at smithwicks yester-
day morning and Immediately COM
menced surveying a route to the mouth
of Fall River with Hot Springs as the
objective point. This will be gratify-
ing and surprising intelligence to the
people of Hot Springs, many of whom
have looked upon InE STARS assertions
in this direction in the light Of a rumor
with absolutely no foundation. The
STARS statement that a railroad would
he in active operation to the Fall River
Falls sandstone quarry and probably
to Hot Springs before snow flies will be
verified within the. next two months.
The citizens of Hot Springs who have
waited long and patiently for the
building of u railroad to tins place now
have just cause for jubilation. The
fame Of Hot Springs as health and
pleasure resort is spreading far and
wide and all that is necessary to make
| it the Mecca of tourists and invalids is
railroad communication with the out
side world. This we will have before
another season and then visitors will
come to the Hot Springs in swarms.
1t will be none of your measley little
narrow gauges either, but good sub
stantial standard gauge. with a smooth
road bed and palace passenger and
sleepino cars.

the present growth and the prospective
advance in the various interests which

ure and regret that we retire from the
management and control Of TnE Hor
SPRINGS SrAR-one Of pleasure because
we anticipate in it a long needed relax
alton and rest from the arduous and
exacting duties Of country editor, and
of regret because of the enjoyment we
have experienced in endeavoring to
show to the outside world the unbound
ed resources Of the wonderful Southern
Hills, the powerful medicinal properties
of the springs and in the weekly inter-
course with our readers through the
medium OF The STAR ON matters of local
and general interest. It is also q
pleasure to us to step aside for the
purpose of placing The STAR in the
hands Of one more capable than we,
one who has had many years experi-
ence in journalism aud one who will,
no doubt, conduct the paper in manner
that will result in better patronage and
be of more benefit to the town and
county.
We were contemplating several inn
provements in the paper among which
were the discarding Of patent insides
and the printing of the entire paper
at home if the patronage would warrant
it, making considerable addition to
our stock of job material and, possibly,
the change of the name of the paper to
The Hor SPRINGS HERALD. STAR, it
seems to us, is suggestive of an amateur
or Juvenile sheet, which this paper does
not aim to be, and always has been
distasteful and positively obnoxious to
us.
TnE STAR has experienced steady
and rapid gain in circulation and adj
vertising patronage during the past
year for which we are truly thankful
and trust it will contiue to increase
under the able and efficient manage
men of our successor. 1t is important
that the business men Of Hot Springs
should see to it that he receives their
most cordial and hearty support, as
Ia literally patronlzed local paper is a
potent factor in tie up-building of the
town i'll which it is published and the
settlement of the surrounding country.
Trusting that THE STAR will con-
tinue to twinkle with increased brill
liancy for many years to come and that
the readers thereof may enjoy a long
life of prosperity and happiness, we
surrender the faber and the shears to
our successor who will, no doubt. render
more efficient service. and work assidu.
onsly and devotedly for the interests OF
Hot Springs and Fall River county.

Chris. Thomson, Of the firm of Hale

Chris. Thomson, Of the firm of Hale
e. Thompson, the well known nursery
men of Rapid City, was in town on
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
This was MIR. Thompson's first visit to
Hot Springs, although he has been
resident of the Black Hills over eleven
years. He was very favorably lm-
pressed with Hot Springs and Fall River
valley and expressed an opinion that
the country in the vicinity Of this place
is admirably adapted to fruit culture,
more especially grapes. The Black
Hills Nursery has been prominent
factor in introducing fruit culture in
the Black Hills and has been eminently
successful. MIR. James Ridpath has
taken the agency for these goods in this
county. Mir. Ridpath is a gentleman
we'll qualified for this work having had
many years experience in the culture
of fruit trees, and in securing him for
this work Messrs. Hale& Thompson are
especially fortunate.
Reports from all parts of Fall River
county are to the effect that crops Of
all kinds are uniformly tirst-class and
promise an unprecedented yield. Corn
is from four to six feet high and it Is
estimated that it will average fifty
bushels per acre throughout the county.
Oats are immense and wheat is far
above the average. Wheat is ripering
and the harvest will activeiy!begin dur
ing the coming week. The acreage of
wheat is comparatively small in this
section there being no facilities for
grinding it or no local market. 1t is
thought the yield in many instances
will exceed thirty-tive bushels per acre.
Vegetables are growing toa prodigious
size and will yield abundantly. The
hay harvest has commenced i'll earnest
and stock raisers are apparently making
an effort to put up enough To feed their
stock during the coming wintcr-some-
thing unusual in this locality where
stock is generally compelled to ''rustle'
their own living. Grass is exception
ally fine and no time should be lost in
saving it as the demand always exceeds
the supply in the Black Hills and prices
rule high. In short the prospects for
fusl, times in every branch of business
were never more tiattcrins and farmers
and business men are corrcspondingly
| jubiliant. Lets have county fair.
