here visiting with his sister, Mrs j. G
Leslie, for several days and Will soon
depart for California,
Street Commissioner Brennan has
been doing good job this week in
experimenting the putting in of big
ditch on the north side of Eighth street
so that the spring freshets from the
mountains will not tear out the newly
graded streets.
VIM. Brure LeAingwell arrived
Tuesday morning from Clinton, Iowa,
for. the purpose of writing up Hot
Springs for the Elkhorn railroad com.
pany. He is very talented writer,
and is the author of several pleasing
publications, among which are Shoot
ing on Upland Marsh and Stream
and "Wild Fowl Shooting He is
particularly adapted to word paintings
of nature and this locality will doubt
less be beautifully described by him.
He is charmed with Hot Springs and
its surrounding env ronmenis-,he
weather and all-and III doing his
work is at the same time having much
pleasure.
'Nicoll the Tailor" Of Omaha has
been try,ng to dispose of goods to Hot
Springs people this week, advertising
with rubber stamp where he might
be found. We trust that the intelli-
gent people IF this city have learned to
! l.atronize home incustry as we'll as
this same "Nicoll' has, who had his
circulars printed at Omaha before
coming here, and then finished them
here with his rubber stamp. II doesn't
pay TO deal with that kind of people.
especially when our own merchants
can fit you on, with just as fine goods,
and as cheap as "Nlcoll, and lie doesn't
pay taxes here or help our town in
any way. Give these travelling vend-
ers wide berth and patronize home
industry.
I The lecture delivered Saturday even
ing by Prof. E. E. Lvmer of the Black
Hills college. on The subject nf ''The
Individual in Edura'ion,' was cx-
ceeainaly interesting and instructive.
and taken from the practical view Of
the citizens of this busy country, Prof
| i,ymer has as near the correct view of
education as anyone who eNpies..d
himself at b.. recent meeting of the
a>socla'ion. The people OF the Hills,
ard of Tie whole country in fact, de-
manl instructors and schools that will
take the student as they find him and
bring him in contact with that which
will make him useful and practical
man, in preference TO stutting him
with a set course, the half of which
he can never assimilate-I.ead rrb-
une.

Falls and Chicago last Monday. where
tie has been as one of the state Worlds
Fair commissioners He states that
the South Dakota building is now
about finished and is a beautiful i'm.
posing structure. He thinks the exhi-
lit. from Ibis state vii be 4 great credit
to the thrift and energy of our people
and AN excellent display of the natural
resaurces of our rich young state. The
Crystal cave people have almost trans.
planted their cave to the Worlds fair
