DIR. and Mrs. Stewart are expected
Sunday morning.
F. M. Jen nings, a nephew of the
doctor, visited in the city a few days
this week, returning to his home
Wednesday.
The STAR wants correspondent
from every township in the county,
and will make it an object for some
enterprlsing item gatherevs. Let us
hear from you.
o. Ferguson, of square world fame,
is making arrangements to have his
lectures printed in pamphlet form,
which will be attached to the interest
ing little book he got out last year.
H. P. Finley and g. G. Lane, of
Hastings, Neb., We're in the city few
days this week, and rumor had it that
they were here with view to securing
the management of the new Mime
kahta.
W, A. Root, who served so efficiently
and pleasantly as assistant in w. w.
Roots pharmacy last season, arrived
Monday morning from Chicago, and
will again be found waiting upon pat
rons of that popular drug store.
George Gibson found his way back
to Hot Springs Wednesday morning,
after an absence of almost yea~. 1t
looks familiar to see George back
again, and as he says he has come to
stay, we welcome him the more.
Prof. G. Belmont says that he is
negotiating to open a thoroughly equip
ped medical institute in this city soon.
He says he finds that business here will
warrant such move. This certainly
is just what a health resort needs and
we are glad the 5octo. proposes to soon
fill this need.
The hoisting machinery for the con-
struction of the Minnekahta hotel was
placed in position Wednesday, and now
the little engine and machinery do the
work that would require about twenty
men to do. by it the stone, plaster and
all materials are lifted to the place
where needed, and the work of builling
goes on at rapid rate.
DIR. Adams arrived from Omaha
Wednesday morning, and will renew
his acquaintance with his family dur
ing weeks relief from duties at the
Castle cure institute at Omaha. While
the doctor proposes to remain resident
of the Springs he does not expect to be
at home much of the time. for the
present at least. They are meeting
with excellent success ct Omaha.
That lovely little shaded nook under
the bill south of the Gillespie hotel is
being greatly improved 10y filling in
tae holes and hollows. This spot has
always been a favoritc resort during
the summer. as it is entirely shaded
during the heated portion of the day,
and then that little babbling spring of
hot water squirting from tie base Of
the hill. with the ripping creek on the
side. makes it most lovely place for
Willing away. the long summer hours.
This has been disagreeable, wintry
week-a sudden and unsatisfactory
change from the beautiful spring
weather we have enjoyed throughout
the winter months. Enough snow fell
Sunday to cover the ground. and il re-
mained on nearly all week, and with a
biting wind it was really frigid. Yet
this section of country has no reason to
find fault, for even during this cold
spell they had 1t colder all around us,
with from six inches to two feet of snow
aud besides we have had delightful
weather all winter. We still insist
that this is charming winter as we'll
as summer resort.
The STAR man was kindly shown
through the Jail Of the new court
house one day this week, and although
we were not sufficiently infatuated
with the place to take up our residence
there for a while yet, we were salts
fed that there isn't q more pleasant
jail in the Black Hills than this.
Bates, who is charged with being an
accessory to the killing of Christ.
Krenkler last summer, is the only pris-
oner at present lodged therein. Sheriff
Clifford informed us that U. S. Marshal
Fry stated to him a short time ago
that the U. S. prisoners of the Hills
should hereafter be brought here for
imprisonment while they were kept IN
the Hills as this is the best Jail for
them IN the Hills,
Capt. Lucas and wife departed last
Saturday evening for Mitchell, to at
tend the state encampment at Mitchell
and to make visit at their old home

accompanied the Captain to take IN
the encampment: Geo. Cox, E.J. Hodge,
J. r. Maxwell. Dan Mitchell, John Har-
ker, j. B. Leake, w. H. Herry and L.
w. Leet. They propose to strongly
advocate the idea of building cottages
abont the home for the old veterans
families. One or two cottages have
already been built with funds raised
by the w. r. G. of the state, and as
there are number of the old heroes
who have families the idea of having
homes built for them near by is very
