About ten days ago Hon. Samuel w

is ahle to take a ride about town and
see what there is of Our city. We had
the opportunity of an interview with
Mr.. AllerlOn this morning, whom we
found TO be a most pleasing and enter
taing gentleman. On being asked what
he thought of Hot Springs and its
waters as a remedial agent lie said:
"Yol people do not begin to realize
what you have here in these waters. l
have had the opportunity of travelling
some over the United States and have
visited u great number of its health
resorts with springs which are claimed
to have medicinal properties. but in
my opinion you have water here that is
superior to anything in this whole
country If not in the world for the cure
of rheumatic Affections and diseases of
the skin. My attention was first called
to these springs by an intimate friend.
Mr.. Spencer. who owns a large cattle
ranch west of here. He had 4 man on
his ranch who was so badly afflicted
with rheumatism, that he was hauled
here In q helpless condition. He was
bathtd in the old Indian bath for
several weeks, and he went home en-
tirely cured up. and l resolved that il
ever 1 had rheumatism in my family, [
would try Hot Springs. So. Dakota. We
brought Mrs. Allerton here as soon as
she was able to come al all, and I have
found that all Mr.. Spencer said in ref.
erence to the curative properties Df the
waters has been realized in my wife's
case. She says she feels as though she
had just been tNrhed loose from 4 pris-
on where she had been called upon to
endure excruciating torture-every
joint and muscle racked with pain SO
that life waS II burden. No, 1 think
