10000 hangers and 1000 Chautauqua
programs, in addition to its other
work. They are almost ready to de-
liver.
The manv friends of Mrs. Ella
Straight (nee Stanley of st. Paul, will
he glad to know that their home has
been blessed with young daughter
which arrived last week.
Mrs. r. f. Connor and little daughter
returned from their Worlds fair visit
Monday and report very enjoy
able time. They were very glad to
get back home, however.
Charley Buck and party came in
from the new gold finds on Sunday
and reports them full as good as he
expected. They located some rich claims
and say there is no doubt but there
will be some great mines opened up in
that neighborhood.
MIR. Wright informs us that there
are 100 men coming down from the
upper Hills to look over the newly dis.
covered gold finds and the chances are
things will be booming there in the
near future. Sylvester Judd is ere.
ating considerable excitement with
his new finds on French creek.
Fred Hummel has had a house
moved up from the Catholicon addi-
ton to the lot just south of the Martin
property on Seventh street. He will
move the house in which he lives right
up to it and from the two will build a
large and commodius dwelling in the
near future.
Claire Woods little playmates will
be panied to learn that he broke one
of his fingers while climbing over a
fence in Denver the other day. A
ring on his finger caught on one of the
wires and his whole weight was sus-
pended on it until the finger broke.
The bone was forced through the skin.
j. A. Sedgwick of the Dakota Hot
Springs came to Hot Springs from
Chicago last Saturday with his sister
Grace. The lady has been in poor
health for number of months and
MIR. Sedgwick, knowing what the
waters here had done for him, decided
that this was the very best place for
her. We hope the little lady may be
greatly improved IN health for her
stay amongst us.
The members of the soldiers home
felt very grateful to President Han.
cher for his excellent address on me.
mortal day. In appreciation of his
services and the respect they have for
him, they presented hlm this afternoon
with magnlficently framed picture
of the scene that day, taken by Whit
temore with his large camera. 1t is
beautiful gift and we know will be
kept as a memento of priceless value
by President Hancher.
Supt. Train of the Water, Light and
Power Co. tells up that in a short time
all the cooking at the Evans, except
oven work, will be done by electricity.
Electric broilers, toasters, frying pans
and in fact almost everything have
been sent for and will be put into use
as soon as they arrive. This new deal
i'll the cooking business is one of the
greatest Improvements in the culinary
art. 1t is so much cleaner, much more
satisfactory and better in every way.
In broiling the old way, the juices Of
the meat fried out into the fire and
were lost, but by electricity they are
saved. Truly the days of heating and
cooking by fire are fast passing into
innocuous desnetude, and the cook and
gasoline stoves will be relegated to the
rear as things of bye-gons days.
Gen. VIM. w. Averill, U. S. in.
spector of Soldiers homes, has been a
Hot Springs visitor recently. He
came to look after the detail Of Grip
pied soldiers from the Fl. Leaven-
worth home. The general has very
exalted opinion of Hot Springs as
a beautiful spot and the virtues Of our
healing waters and it is he who con.
ceived the idea of locating the national
sanitairum and hospital for inyalids of
the regular service at this place. Our
people cannot be too attentive and
hospitable to our distinguished guest
and we sincerely hope he may leave
with the same good opinion of us that
he first formed and that he may be
able to make such a report to the
national committe who have this
matter in charge, that it may result in
the location of the national hospital
at this place.
There Is no cause for alarm that the
work on the public buildings will be
stopped on account of the failure Of
the First National bank. Mr.. Silken.
son, the treasurer Of the board Of edu-
cation, says it will take more bank
failures than this one to stop the work
and it will 60 right ahead. In con-
versation with Mr.. Mckay we learn
that there are now sixteen stone cut
ters and seven nasons at work ON the
building and they are putting it up as
fast as they can. And he said: sAs
long as | have dollar of my own, and
1 have few left out Of the wreck, 1
will prosecute the work on the school
house to its completion. You may tell
the people. too. that the work on the
