harvest would be garnered by the
farmers.

Wednesday that their mother was not
expected to live, and Sandie was gong

trains held him here and fortunately,
for yesterday he received a dispatch
that she was somewhat improved and
to wait until he should hear again.
Jim Carney, Of Deadwood, was in
the city Thursday. He had started

to benefit his health, which has been
poorly all winter, but the train did
not go beyond Bnffalo Gap on account
of heavy snow and Jim concluded to
put in the day here.
Hot Springs is rapidly gaining no.
toriety as good trading point, and
farmers come here from the interior
of Custer county, and from the reser-
walton on the east, the Nebraska line
on the south and Wyoming on the
west. They come here because they
can buy goods cheaper here than at
their small trading points, and when
they do come they purchase in exten-
sive Quantities. Hot Springs does a
big business.
Col. Clough, of the Soldiers Home
board, came down from Deadwood
Monday night and remained over Tues
day. He is the commissioner from the
eighth judicial district upon the Rus
sian relief work, and reports excellent
success in the northern Hills. They
propose to send nothing but flour, all
of which will be purchased in the
Hills. President Hancher, of this city,
is tho commissioner from this judicial
district, and is devoting what time he
can spare in working for aid for the
destitute and suffering Russians.
E. r. Adams, we'll known resident
of this county for the past six years,
but who has been absent for some
thing over year, until month ago,
has rented Geo. Gibson's residence on
Seventh street, and will at once fit it
up for manufacturing compound oxy-
gen, and will treat patients with this
wonderful remedy, besides selling it in
wholesale quantities. The oxygen is
similar to that manufactured by Star
KEY & Palen, of worldwide repute, and
will be used in connection with these
mineral waters. Mr.. Adams thinks he
will have panacea for everything to
which flesh is heir. We shall have
more to say of this institution IN the
future.
Will Stanley reached home on Sat-
urday last and reports very pleasant
time at Sioux Falls attending United
States supreme court, the people of
that lovely city taking especial pains
to treat the Black Hills contingent in
a most royal manner. Will says there
are no less than 100 people making
their home in Sioux Falls, temporarily
at least, for the purpose of procuring
divorces through the lenient law Of
this state. Why some of the eager
throng doesn't come to the Springs to
while away their idle days and months.

from the ones they had sworn to love
= and cherish, we do not understand
Here they have the most beautiful
charming scenery with which nature
has adorned the earth; here they may
indulge in society's magic charm, OF
stroll amid the scenes of natures lonely
loveliness. BY all odds Hot Springs
as in everything else, surpasses all
other cities in the state as resort fol
} divorce seekers. Publish it to the
world.
