Rumors more or less certain have
been circulating in these parts for
several weeks regarding a big deal
that IS rumored to be On foot, whereby
Fred Evans was said to be about to
dispose of his interests here. The
papers all over the Hills have caught
up the story and given it wide publ
city. The SrAE refrained from saying
anything upon the matter heretofore
for the reason Of the inde6niteness of
the stories and the utter impossibillty
of inducing any of those interested in
the transaction to make any statement.
The whole affair is yet clouded in mys.
terry but several events conspire to give
good reason for supposing that a very
wealthy syndicate composed principal
ly of Boston men are taking an un.
usual amount of interest in this local
ity. Parties in the city cannot fail to
have observed the frequency with
which DR.. U. S. Marden, of Kearnev,
Neb., has visited the Springs. Dr..
Marden, although residing at Kearney
and owning large interests there, is
O' AAOu AsOStOu dLO lle' Sc6ulS
to be the central figure in whatever
transactions are under consideration.
Last week party from Boston we're
in the city looking around. Yesterday
morning DR.: Mardcn and several
others from Kearney arrived over the
B. & N. to rcma,n but a few days. DR..
Marden will return again next week
in company with party of 36 capital
lists who leave Boston on special train
for Hot Springs tomorrow, providing
the weather is favorable. Now this
activity means something. People
usually do not go out for pleasure
when the railroads are blockaded and
when they are threatened with the
worst inconveniences. There can be
not the slightest doubt that those par
ties are coming here on business and
that they intend to invest heavily in
this place. Their becoming interested
in this, the true Carlsbad Of America,
will be hailed with delight,

out of the calendar. Other regulations
were also made, namely. that one day more

The Fifty-thIrd Congress

There is no doubt of the fact that the
democrats will have more than so msior-
lily In the next house of representatives
over both republicans and fusionists.
That end of the capitol is solid for tariff
reform and against force bill legislation.
The senate at prest mt is made up of 80
democrats, Q indeper dents and AZ repuo-
hssns. The terms of 30 senators, or one
third Of the body, expires ON the 4th OF
March next OF these IL are democrats
and Is republicans. The democrats mold
all their vacancies, while OF the 10
republican senators retiring demo-
Gratis will succeed in New York
and Wisconsin and probably California.
They are certain of Al and probably 40
after the 4th of March. Wyoming and
Nebraska legislatures seem to be anti
republican and may send democrats.
At any rate the next senate will be de-
sidedlY anti.high tariff and anti.force
bill. The Al democrats will be reinforced
BY Senators PETER, Kyle AMI Ste wsrt on
both these issues and if Wyoming sends
. democrat they will have a clean ma.
jority. If it does not there will be q tie
and Vice President Stevenson will use
his vote in the way that will do the most
good for the country.
