Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1892-11-25


Mr.. Jacob Wright, the architect
having in charge the plans for the
Catholicon improvements, will move
his office from Cascade in the near fu-
ture, and put it down near the Catholi-
con, so as 20 be more convenient to his
work. He is expecting one Of his sons
to spend the winter with him, and at
tend the Black Hills college.
A gentleman from Rapid City,
whose name we have not learned, has
begun the construction of green
house in the CatLolicon addition. The
building will be $50 feet long and 20
feet wide When it is completed we
will not be compelled to send away
from home for our floral decorations.
The Catholicon company have fin
ished the lake which they have been
making just east of the hotel. 1t is
two acres in extent, and Fall River
flows through il, which will prevent
any stagnation. by means of a dam
which they have constructed sufficient
motor power for electric lights and
| other purposes has been obtained.
Orlando Ferguson has purchased of
10. II. Adams his compound oxygen
treatment, and from next April it will
be run in connection with the Catholi.
con spring. Until that time MIR.
Adams will conduct the business at
his new stand mentioned in another
column. Many radical cures of par
alyss. nervous diseases and consump-
tion have been made by this treatment,
and it will form a valuable adjunct to
the medical waters.
The entertainment given last night
at the college chapel by Misses l'iggart
and Gumaer was of unusual merit.
The conception of taking a standard
work and giving dramatic representa-
tion of it is comparatively new, and no
better work could have been chosen
than Adam Bede. Miss Blggart's
method might possibly be bettersd by
a closer study and differentiation of her
characters, but her general rendering
was superb. AS contraito soloist
Miss Gumaer is without fault. We
shall gladly welcome the ladies again
to our city.
Judge Gardner has issued an order,
on complaint of the honorable board
of county commissioners, commanding
one James Bradley, whose name may
have occasionally appeared in these
columns, TO appear before the court in
Caster Nov. 25th. and show cause
why he should not, because of gross
negligence IN Office, turn over his Office
with all moneys appertaining thereto
to a certain Ellis L. Pierce. In view
Of the recent endorsement Of Mr.
/ Bradley 10y the people this action is
little less than persecution. Whom
the gods would destroy they first make
mad, " is commonly received saying,
and if ii be true. the county commits
sioners are very near destruction.
Special Gospel meetings will be be-
gun on the evening of Thursday, Dec.
LIST in tie First Baptist church of Hot
Springs. These meetings will be un-
der the direction of evangelist and
harp sololst, Rev. Geo. III. Thompson.
The service of song will be conducted
by Rev. I'll. +. Wilkinson, Sunday
school missionary of the American
Buptist Publication Socletv.' Please
bear tins announcement in mind and
arrange your business so as to be able
to attend these meetings and to share
in the blessing expected in answer to
prayer. God will honor His word.
"flc is faithful who has promised .
All are coraiully invited.
The overcrowded condition of our
city schools is standing shame to our
pretensions as a city. We ought 10
either have school houses and teachers
sufficient to accommodate the children
who are demanding education at our
hands, OF else advertise to the world
that we do not intend to educate our
children. Mr.. 0. Ferguson informs us
that he has been compelled to take his
children out of school, although the
district line runs through his house
and he pays S7S4 taxes in the district.
Our teachers are overwo.ked and still
numbers of children are denied school
privileges. No vote ought to be regis
