he might, as their virtue in aggravated
cases of rheumatism has been demon
strated in his own case. When he
came here some two months ago he
was perfectly helpless and suffered ex-
cruciating pain in his limbs but is
now almost entirely free from pain and
enjoying excellent health.
Mr.. John Fl. Evans left Monday for
Hot Springs, Dakota. MIR. Evans has
been citizen of and connected with
the business interests of this place for
the past fifteen years, during which
time he has been prominently identified
with its prosperity and held many
positions of public trust, and has been
universally respected. We regret to
part with himself and family, and hope
that they may return at an early day
to the Buckeye state and their many
friends.-Garrettsville (Ohio) journal.
Rev. j. w. Hanchcr, financial secre.
tary of the Black Hills College, was in
the city on Saturday last collecting the
second installment of subscriptions,
which are now past due. Mr.. Hancher
has been detained at home during the
past to months by the severe illness of
his wife, but as she is now out of
danger and slowly improving it is
hoped that he will have more time to
devote to matters pertaining to the
erection of the college building. MIR.
Hancher preached an able sermon at
the NJ. E. church Sunday evening.

There is no'excuse for idle men in
Hot Springs at the present time
Carpenters and masons are at work on
the various buildings in town while all
the available men and teams are en-
ployed on the stone qt1arries south of
town or arc engaged in hauling material
| for the college building. The Hot
Springs company also give employment
to score or more and their monthly
pay roll amounts to handsome sum.
This company has dispensed large
amount of cash in Hot Springs and
vicinity during the past three months,
causing a very perceptible improve
ment in money matters. Altogether
the outlook is extremely encouraging
and old settles who had almost despair
ed of ever seeing more than an inland
country town at Hot Springs, begin
to discern the first gray dawn of the
coming boom and will soon see the
realization of their fondest hopes and
the consummatlon of their most eN-
eXtravagant desires.
'1ell me We winged winds that
round my pathway soar. do We not know
some quiet spot where wives clean
house no more: some lone, sequestered,
leafy dale, some island, ocean girt,
where life is not one ceasless war with
cobwebs and with dirt; where only
natures carpet spreads beneath the
tired feet. and wretched men are meet
compelled its emerald folds to beat!r
The lake breeze famed my heated face
face and said BEAT on. There's no such
place Chicago Tribune.
The lake breeze lied when this it said: {:
"Beat on. There's such place." Here's
where the balmy breczes blow to fan
your fevered;face. Hereis the peaceful
quiet dale. the lovely mountain glen,
a place that's free from dust and dirt,
a place for weary men, who to escape
house-cleaning time sigh for a quiet
nook, where they can pass the time
away with gun, and line and hook !,
where busy housewives never ply their
daily round of care. where health is
bubbling out of rocks, and beauty's
everywhere.
The Black Hills correspondent of the
Omaha Herald writes as follows cofl-
cerning Hot Springs and its prospects:
The, prospect for a busy season at Hot
Springs is better than over before. The
place has been literally advertised by
the railroad company, and has, since it
first began to be popular asa resort
for medical purposes made warm
friend Of every patient who has been
here for treatment. Those who are
familiar with both resorts unhesitating-
ly pronounce the baths here as equal in
every respect to those at Hot Springs
in Arkansas. Whether or not this
, claim is true your correspondent has
no means of knowing, but he has been
the witness Of some cures which were
little short of marvellous. We are look
ing for railroad to our town in the
near future, and are hoping strongly
: that they may be found to mean this
