Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1893-07-07

the best producing mines of the Golden
Reward group, is here for few days
recreation and rest.
The STAR has been looking for some
breaks in the ranks of our business
men for some time on account of hard
times but up till today we have had
none to chronicle. We were surprised
to learn that White Bros, the butch
ers, had been forced to make an assign
ment for the benefit of its creditors. as
we supposed they were safe, il anyone
was The papers were fixed up late
Saturday evening and Judge l.. S.
Gull was appointed assignee. We are
unable to learn the exact amount of
Liabilities but are told they are in the
neighborhood of 50, 500 and that there
is enough property to cover all the
debts. The principal ones are Mike
Flanagan, for $500; S. HI. Cole, $3.50;
| and numerous farmers around the
country from whom beef cattle were
bought.
Henri Schulz, representing the
Credit company of Chicago, and his
son, A. III. Schulz, are here looking
after private business of their company
and as the elder Schulz has been atllct-
ed with rheumatism he will remain
some time with us taking baths. We
have scarcely ever met a man who is
more thoroughly posted on the finances
of the country than Mr.. Schulz and he
ascribes the present condition of af-
fairs not to the silver question nor to
the want of money in the country, but
simply to the change OF administration
and Its doing nothing to define Its
policy i'll reference to money matters or
the tariff question. This indecision
has created want of confidence among
popnlists and common people and they
have made run on banking institu-
tions which has drawn others in and
our present panic is the result. Our
banking institutions have Ss42,O00,O00
more in their vaults today than they
had IL year ago. Europe and especially
England is more friendly With the
democratic party than the republican
and would do nothing TO iniure its
prospects. Mr.. Sthuhl Is delighted
with Hot Springs and says we have
very bright future.
Among the distinguished guests who
will spend the Fourth at Hot Springs
are j. Francis, the efficient Gen. Pass.
and Ticket Agent of the B. & NJ, and
his estimable wife. They came in this
morning and are losing 10 time in get
ting all the benefit they can out of our
attractions. MIR. Francis has charge
Of all the advertising done by his COM
pany along their lines of road, and we
challenge anyone to say that he has
not done the handsome thing by Hot
Springs. Every metropolitan as we'll
as country paper has from one
to three sticks of local matter descrip-
tive of this town as health and pleas
ure resort, to say nothing of the 10000
folders and time tables which are cir
culated every month and which are
filled with Hot Springs matter. This
city hasn't anything too good for Mr..
Francis and he should be granted the
freedom of the city every time he
comes. He is accompanied by Mr.. e.
g. Snyder representative of the
Omaha Bee,who while enjoying little
respite from his active labors, will take
occasion to bring the city in for favor
able comment in his most excellent
paper. The STAR received friendly
call from them in company with Mr..
Catlin, our local agent, this afternoon.
A Sad Accident
a very serious and painful accident
happened to the little IL year old son of
Mr.. Robinson who lives OH Bradley's
Eats last night. The little fellow was
riding a horse trying to gather in the
cows just before the rain, when on
going down a rough, steep hill, the
horse stumbled and threw him head
| foremost over his head. The little fel-
low tried to save himself by throwing
out his hands and both bones of both
forearms snapped off like pipe stems,
and still the force of the fall was not
broken. and as he struck tile ground
