jjapt. Jack Crawford
THE "PoET SCOUT" AGAIN IN
THE CITY.
Will Entertain at the College Mex,
Monday Evening. March goth.

This gentleman who so delighted q
Hot Springs audience short time ago
has consented to return and give an
other entertainment at the college
chapel next Monday evening. He has
visited all the principal towns of the
Hills and has met with a rousing re.
ception and immense crowds at each
place, and his entertainments have
been very much enjoyed. In a two.
column article concerning him we Gull
the following from the Deadwood
Pioneer:
HE ranges from grave to gay with
a humor that only broad western life
passed beneath the swaying pine trees,
on the mountain tops with the world
below, or underneath skies whose star.
are always bright. The pioneers who
have risen to eminence, and who are
acquainted with the services rendered
by Capt. Jack Crawford never tire Of
telling his merits. and he can boast of
the unsolicited endorsements of such
men as Grant, Sherman, Sheridan,
Hancock, Logan, Senators Fair, Ed.
munds, Jones of Nevada, Cameron
Hawley and bost OF Others who have
at various times testified to his worth
and services. One of his notable char.
actsri>tics is his intense love and ven.
Grafton for the memory Of his mother
to whom he attributes all the good that
is in him. His habits are without
blemish. hut he has larce} liberation
for the feelings of his fellok men,"

Interest .l t.e .,.y Election.

Although still month OF, to all
appearances there is considerable inter.
est being taken in the city election
which will occur on the third Tuesday
in April, the 18th. There doesn't
seem to be much general talk concern
ind the election, but it is quite evident
that no small amount of concern is
being worked up in the matter. The
only interest the STAR has in the mat
ter is for the general good of Hot
Springs, and 1t is to be hoped that all
the scheming that may be going on,
and all the work that is being done,
whether openly or secretly, is with the
one object of doing the greatest good
for the greatest number.

BLACK DIAMONDS.
Discovery Of Coal Within Half Mile
From the City Limits.

A few weeks ago E. b. Warren was
out southwest of the city climbing over
the hills and rocks to see what he
might find, and in deep ravine on Y.
E. Sawyers ranch, half mile from
the city limits, he saw what had every
indication of being vein of coal. 1t
was we'll defined vein on one side of
the ravine where waters had washed
away the dirt. He broke of some
pieces and brought them home, and
upon testing the sample found that
they burned freely. He has made sew
eral trips since then alone, but last
Sunday took along Will and Jay
Crane, and together they picked off
three or four bushels of the coal and
brought it to town, and in testing a
quantity of it for heating found it to
be excellent, burning freely and leav-
ing no clinkers. 1t was not long be.
fore others learned of the discovery,
and now the STAR feels that it can not
longer keep quiet in the matter, al
though we have had the facts in our
possession for couple of weeks-but
were pledged to secrecy. The VEN
where discovered is two and one half
feet thick, which of itself Is pretty
good, but it will undoubtedly increase
in thickness upon tunnelling into the
hill. Mr.. J Q. Canaan of Omaha now
has an option upon the property, which
expires April l1th, and since this dis
covery he is likely to purchase it, as
when he obtained the option nothing
was known of the coal prospect. MIR.
Warren had hoped himself to keep
the matter quiet until he could procure
an option on the property, and then
prospect the find aud see what there
might be to 1T. If Mr.. Canan does
nothing with it before his option ex-
pires, we are safe in saying that it
will be thoroughly opened up at once
thereafter, and the question of the en-
tent of the coal vein ascertained if
possible.
The STAR editor has seen the coal
burning, and can vouch for its burn
ing freely and we'll. Further than
that we hope to be able to say more
anon. The indications, however, are
most encouraging.

Gov. Sheldon and Party.

Hot Springs was honored last Tues
day by the presence in the city of Gov
Q. II. Sheldon, l.. Ocheanrider, presi.
deat of the Worlds fair commission
and w. l.. Dow, architect Of the Soutl,

spector. The party seemed to be very
enthusiastic with the manner in which
they were received throughout the
Hills and believe the collection will be
a rich and interesting one. The gov
ernor informed the STAR that arrange
ments would be made whereby great
many private cabinets Of valuable
ors and rare specimens would be
loaned to the care and keeping of the
commission which would be absolutely
responsible for the safe return of every
piece. The various mining companies
of the Hills will have their properties
represented by some Of their ore, and
many smaller mines will furnish
specimens. The bad lands specimens
will also be we'll represented, arrange.
ments being negotiated with Mr.. Sidey
for that purpose. The governor and
the commission expressed themselves
entirely repaid for their visit to the
Hills, from an official and business
point of view, as we'll as highly enjoy
ing the beauties of the Hills and the
hospitality of the citizens.
Many Hot Springs people called
upon the governor at the Evans dur
ing the day, and extended the hand of
welcome to our city. And for time
during the forenoon that genial gentle
man made it a point to get about the
city in most informal manner and
call upon numerous acquaintances.
In the afternoon the distinguished
visitors were conveyed to the soldiers
home, accompanied by several citizens
Of the Springs, in Chris. Jensen's four
ln-hand tally-ho. Commandant Me-
grew and Adj. Campbell conducted
the party through the building, and
all seemed surprised and delighted
with the structure and i,s appurtances
Gov. Sheldon, Maj. Anderson and Col.
Clongh made brief remarks to the old
veterans in the chapel. which were en-
Enthusiastically received.
The governor and Worlds fair COM
missioners left for the eastern part of
the state Tuesday evening.

send his patients who ssek health re-
sort to this place instead of Hot
Springs, Ark.
John Richer says the A. O. U. w.
grand lodge meeting will hardly be
held at the Springs as expected, owing
to their failure to get as cheap rail-
road rates as they expected. The rate
offered by the railroads was one and
one-third from eastern Dakota points
to Sioux City and return, and
SIS for round trip to the Springs from
Sioux City, providing two hundred
passengers would be guaranteed. The
question of accepting this proposition
will he voted upon by the lodges of the
state. Seems to us as though this is
not 81, bad rate if it were not for .he
proviso. Hot Springs would like the
gathering, and if the citizens could do
anything to assist in the matter i.
should be done at once.

Sam Muses. Caught Him

Last May during tine stock trouble
readers we'll remember that a deputy
Q. $. marshal named George Wellman
was killed in johnson county, Wyo.,
and the assas>ins escaped. Rewards
amounting to couple Of thousand
dollars have been offered for tt.eir cap
tnre. Sam Moses, one of the most
alert detectives in this section of coun-
try, got on the trail. he supposed, of
one named Henry Smith, and has been
following him for three or four
months. Sam returned to the Springs
last Saturday, and informed the STAR
that after following Smith through
New Mexico. Arizona, Old Mexico and
Texas, that he finally ran across his
man in the Cheyenne nation, Indian
Territory. MIR. Moses brought Smith
to Cheyenne, Wyo., where he is con-
fined in Jail awaiting the convening Of
the q. s. grand jury in April. Smith
denies the charge. Clayton Cruise was
another suspected party to the killing
of Wellman, and he surrendered a
short time ago at Buffalo. Wyoming
Sam Moses went after him and took
him to Cheyenne. 1t is probable that
both men will be found guilty.
Sam is gaining considerable fame
as detective in this line, and we con-
gratulate him upon his success.

lind So IL Vas Vritten. !"

And it came to pass in the latter days
of Janarius, that the hetman Gideon
did summon his councillors, and men
from the igloOs to come together at the
place where the walrus fat doth abound,
and to talk about bricks and into the
pavement put.
And the gathering was goodly one.
The storm king did howl and to away
below zero went, but these men came
together to look after the veal of the
tOwn-cold or hot. Counsel in the heart
of man is like deep water, but man of
understanding will draw it all out.
And the men of John, of Isaiah, of
Joseph, of Charles, of James, of Samuel,
and many more were there; yea, it is an
honor for man 20 cease from strife;
but every fool will be meddling.
And the hetman did tell how sundry
and divers things had caused a failure
to make writings with one Young,
whose work will stand until it is old,
and how thu rains had come and made
depthless the roads,-even so that sand
was not found in the crops Of those
roosters who had erstwhile crowed like
unto the cock that had made even Peter
become mugwump and an apostate.
Smite scorner and the simple will be-
ware, and reprove one that hath under
standing and he will understand knowl-
edge.
And there was much counselling to-
gether, and the yeomen did say that the
putting down of the bricks in divers
and sundry places was wise and good,
and they so voted yea. Judgments are
prepared for scorners, and stripes for
the back of fools.
And then with one voice did they de-
mand that the bricks be placed on the
street known as West High avenue
thence to the place where the Iowa Cen.
tral snorting engine doth pass, and the
eouncilmen arose and said in one voice
yea, it is good, and so it shall be. Yea
slothfulness casteth into deep sleep
and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
And all the yeOman arose and said il
is good-very good, and that now that
the shekels were pledged by tribesmen
therefore they rejoiced at the coming oi
the sunshine thereat. They did say
that the commercial paths shall all be
paved before any more residential quar-
ters shall be taken in. So that the places
where the wheels go round shall bt
made easy to reach at all times. An6
so all will say yea, and amen.
