tlcmen of the upper Hills are here
looking UP the prospect of organizing
a lodge of the order of C;,osen
Friends. We cannot tell what success
they are having.
1 Mr.. Evans got tired of running the
street sprinkler for the north end of
town and decided to take it off. This
put the merchants along the block on
their dignity and Pat Boyles had no
trouble to work them up to pay him a
certain sum monthly to support it and
having obtained the use of the sprink-
lcr he wl! undertake to do it, He has
secured John King TO DO the work

IA. l. o. Q. t., installed the following
officers at their hall on the evening of
July LIST, Mrs. Bertha Hummell, dis
tiict deputy, performing the ceremony:
Mrs. Lizzie j. Boyer. N. g.; Mrs. w.
w. I,aFleiche, V. g.; Henry Arthur,
secretary. and Mrs. T. c. Silkenson,
treasurer. At the conclusion of the
ceremonies the lodge adjourned to the

Fred. L. Evans arrived from his
visit to the Worlds fair this morning
and brought with him his sister, Mrs.
Exene Lamb of Sloan, Ia, who will
remain here with us for several
months. MIR. Evans is of the same
opinion as most Black Hills people
who visit the South Dakota exhibit;
and that is that Sioux Falls has gone
at it in a whole hog style and even
stolen the credit for what the Black
Hills have contributed. He says he
raised roar about their unfairness
and did what he could to right matters
but it was of 10 avail. He with the
everybody else is disgusted with the
unfair spirit that has been manifested
by the commission and they should be
roasted to turn by every paper in
the Hills.
| DR.. Howell is certainly out of luck.
While riding to his ranch on the Chey-
enne last evening with his brother
John. the buggy wheel struck rock
on the upper side of a sideling piece Of
road and tipped them over. The doc
tor was on the low side and the weight
all fell on him. The team started to
run and dragged the buggy about
fifty yards when John caught them.
But Doc was unable to get up. He
was helped into the buggy aud they
drove to the ranch where he spent the
night in great pain. This morning
they drove in and after examination it
was found that the femur Of his right
leg was broken near the hip. DR..
Moflit reduced the fracture and he is
resting as comfortably as possible. but
1T will be some time before he can use
it again. 1t will be hard job to lie
on his back for several weeks this hot
, weather, but Doc. says he is happy
that the condyle is not broken off, as it
5 would have made him a cripple for
, life. This is his second accident of
5 this kind since he came to Hot Springs
to say nothing Of his long siege of
5 rheumatic Fever. We sympathize
: with him.
