w.. H. Johnson's outfit Of graders are
hard at work finishing up the work on
lower River avenue that the proper
assessment for the work may be as
sessed against the property.
The caraenters are putting up the
Tower on the city hall today which is
to contain the FIRE alarm bell. It tis
topped ont with q flag pole on which
the stars and stripes are to float on oc-
casions when it is appropriate. The
tower looks little awkward set back
in the middle Of the building.
Mrs. d. L. Darr and daughter Maize
came in this morning from O'Neill to
spend some weeks with. Mrs. Judge
Cleveland who is Mrs. Darr's daughter.
Mrs. Darr was here last year and en-
joyed her visit very much aud hopes
to get as much benefit from the baths
as she did before.
Charles Karcher, after weeks so.
journ at Hot Springs, returned yester-
day fully recovered from his attack Of
rheumatism. His wife. who was con-
fined to her home for several weeks,
went down to the same springs last
Saturday and has improved to such an
extent that she expects to leave today
on visit to relatives in Missouri
Deadwood Times.
Henry johnson, one of the valuable
men who are operating the Burke
quarry, got his left hand badly mashed
late yesterday afternoon. He was
brought in on the train this morning
and DIR. Wade dressed the injured
member. 1t was found necessary to
amputate one of the fingers but the
others can probably be saved. 1t is a
very painful wound and will lay MIR.
johnson up for some time.
The Wesch & Oak block is fast near
ing completion and Mr.. Mower is ex-
pecting to take possession Of it about
July 1st. There are seventeen bed
rooms up stairs which are light, clean
and airy, and the furniture of the Art
hotel has been purchased to partly fit
them up. Mr.. Mower will not give up
his present place of business, but his
sen Fred who is in Nebraska is ex-
pected here soon and will continue the
business at the old stand.
H. D. Clark completed the sale yes
terday of lot 43 in Block 81 Sulphur
springs addition to Conrad Gasser for
$1,000. Mr.. Gasser is a first class
baker and comes here to go into bust
ness. He has leased the room formerly
occupied by Cole Bros. adjoining Billy
Morton's place and will open up there
in short time. He will locate his
oven on the lot just purchased. A
first class bakery is something the
town needs and we predict for him a
successful business.
Hon. Samuel w. Ailerton's special
car came in this morning and they
leave for home tomorrow evening.
They could not possibly have any bet
ter impression of Hot Springs than
they do have. MIR. Allerton has cer-
tainly been greatly benefited by the
baths here as she is now able to get
about as lively as when in good health.
When she came here she had to be
carried from the car. Mr.. Allerton
can do much to advertise Hot Springs
and we have no doubt in the world but
he will miss no opportunity of saying
a good word for us. He will hereafter
be here frequently and come when
Mrs. A. is in better health so she can
enjoy her trip to more advantage.
The Chapter of the Eastern Star
held a meeting at the Masonic hall last
night and judging from the appear
ance of the room this morning and the
lateness Of the hour when they dis
persed we are inclined to think the
women are fully up to their spouses
Tor spice which?), in the matter of an
evenings frolic or goat riding in a
secret society. But laying all jokes
aside, they did indeed have right
royal good time. They elected their
officers who are H. A. GODDARD, worthy
patron, Mrs. II. A. GODDARD, worthy
matron; Mrs. DIR. Stewart, associate
matron; Mrs. E. B. Warren, secretary
Mrs. Will Stanley, treasurer; Mrs.
Harry Sparks, conductor and Mrs. E.
T. Peirce, assistant conductor. We
