The STAR Reporter sauntered fourth
yesterday afternoon in search Of an
item and discovered bigger one than
he had even dared hope to unearth.
For number Of days there has been
an evidence of some deep scheme being
hatched. A number Of prominent cit
liens and wealthy visitors have been
closeted together seemingly discussing
some matters Of Importance, and now
it shows up that plans that have been
in process Of formation for many
months are just now assuming that
degree Of definiteness, that they can
no longer be kept from the public.
Men whose heads are long and purses
deep have been actively at work. To
casual observer it seems that DIR. A.
S. Stewart was on FOOLS errand and
simply throwing his money at birds
for fun, when he ordered we'll drill
ing machine set up over on the west
corner of his addition. Mr.. Stewart did
all that last fall. 1t now transpires
that this was simply one-and the first
act in the execution of gigantic plan.
If water-suitable water, could be
found there, it was to be utilized. A
we'll out there was of no especial value
unless the water could be run with q
bath house. Water, and better water
than he had dared to hope for was
found, and now the bath house goes
up, and that speedily. Within five
days active operations will beign. Dirt
will begin to move in less than q
week. A stock company having abun-
dant capital has been organized. In
the company are such men as A. S.
Stewart, V. E. Prentice. y. G. Fargo,
J.B. Dickover,R.F. Connor, ,H.A, GODDARD
e. Co., j, A. Tease, Mr.. Steften, besides
several Omaha capitalists. This COM
pany will proceed at once to build a
bath house and hotel. Plans for the
Hotel have not yet been made, but the
company have decided to put thirty
thousand dollars into the structure.
OF this matter the STAR will furnish
its readers detail report later. Suf-
flee it to say that $4,000 will he put
into a building at once. 1t will be To-
Gated about four blocks south of DIR.
A. S. Stewards house upon the Fargo
& Prentice addition.
THE BATH HOUSE.
Plans for the bath house are being
matured, already in general have been
worked out. The structure will be
sixty feet extension whichever way
measured and octagonal in shape.
On the first floor arranged in doubles,
are to be ten bath rooms occupying the
space against the outer walls Of five OF
the eight sides.T The east sidewill contain
the office room and stars leading to
the second story. The entrance to this
Office is covered by veranda. To the
right of the Office is the ladies' parlor,
and to the left the gentlemen parlor.
In the centre of this octagonal building
is to be plunge bath octagonal in
shape, and thirty feet across. Around
this plunge bath is hall from which
doors open into the bath rooms at the
sides. Over the outer entrance to the
ladies' parlor is an alcove veranda
which likewise is true Of the gentle-
men parlor entrance.
The second floor of The bath house
will contain bath rooms and also other
rooms for the treating of the varions
diseases and the giving Of the different
kinds Of baths. The baths will all be
supplied with hot and cold water. q
The structure externally will present
a pleasing appearance. Let it be re-
membered that this bath house is to be
located over we'll sunk last winter,
that tapped a stream of water Of 106
degrees temperature, warmer than any
other water at Hot Springs. This wa
ter is in such abundance and has such
a pressure that it comes within a very
few feet Of the surface. This water
has been tested and found to contain
medicinal quantities equal to any yet
discoved.
