Charmed With Hot Spring,

j.. Ii. Halford of the Hudson River
railroad passed through the city yester-
day enroute from Hot Springs. S. d..
to New York. do you know the
reason" he remarked in the Elkhorn
office, why so many western people
%patronize the eastern Watering places
and pack off to Europe? 1t is simply
because they do not know the wonder
full resorts of their own immediate
vicinity. 1t may sound better to say
you are going abroad or to Saratoga.
Newport or Long Branch, but SO far as
genuine sight seeing, pleasure and
health NJ concerned, it isn't in it. The
fact is, some people choosetogoabroad

strangers, when it would be infinitely
more comfortable ut some resort here

On Saturday M. Caughey, the grocer,
and his father were down at the Falls

his father lost his watch charm which
he treasured very highly for it's intrin-
sic value as we'll as for it's sacred men,

told his father he believed he had a
vision or something of the sort, for
he knew where the charm was and
would so after it that day. He did so
and found the charm where it had
been torn from the chain by a bunch
of sage brush, and it was lying down in
the bushes out of sight. If this wasn't

years old. The trees were set out
when little twigs. "about as big as
my little finger" George said. They

pecially fruitful. He has about 100
trees, apple and cherry. The cherry

they had an abundance of delicious
cherries. The apple trees will yield
about 200 bushels of various varieties,
among which are the Early Harvest,

apples. If anyone has had a notion
that fruit cannot b~esuccessfully grown

imagine. We will stay till Wednesday
or Thursday. We have a team and
carriage and drive where we want to.
The mountain grouse are the finest
birds I ever ate, and I can't tell you
how fine the mountain trout are. They
are colored all the rays Of the sun and
have bright red spots on them. The
dinner we ate today was the finest !

He Enioyed Hi,nselr.

Mr.. w. +. Rice of Lexington, Neb.,
visited Hot Springs a few weeks ago in
company with MI. Wyman. They were
greatly pleased with this place and
surroundings, and when he returned
home wrote a splendid account of his
trip and his impressions of our town
for his home paper, the Pioneer, a por-
ton of which we find space for. He
says:
"The climate in this section is en-
cellent; the air is rare and pure and is
laden with the perfume of pines and
flowers-no malaria.
1.-THE scenery at and around Hot
Springs is beautiful. There are also
many places of interest to visit. First
of all is Wind cave, which is a wonder
full freak of nature and derives it's
name from the roaring of the wind
which PUSHES from its mouth. The en-
trance is at the head of a gulch on a
high, rolling prairie, about twelve
miles from Hot Springs. It is finer
and larger than the famous Mammoth
cave of Kentucky. Ninety miles of
subterranean passages have already
been explored, and the indications are
that there is no end to them. More
than two thousand chambers, varying
in size from a small room to one large
enough to locate a small village in,
have been explored. Its scenery is
grand beyond description; in those
rooms may be seen crystals, stalactites
stalagmites and other curious forma-
tions. A party of us visited the cave
and on IL way to it had u fine view
of Buffalo Gap. once famous for being
the gateway for the buffalo from the
mountains to the valleys. An onyx
cave has recently been found near the
Springs. the ceiling. wall and floor of
which are said to be solid onyx.
"Among other places of interest 1
must mention Cascade Springs, stu
ated in a beautiful gulch. encircled by
lofty pines and cliffs; it has boiling
geysers and u fine sanitarium, 79x12O
feet, three stories high, constructed of
white stone, and said to be one of the
finest in the world. Here 1 met an old
friend, William Allen, of Cascade
Springs, who took us to his home and
showed Is u fine collection of speci-
mems; he also took us to all the places
of interest in his neighborhood-kind-
nesses that will be long remembered.
"Fall river, Cheyenne River falls,
Mount Gypsom and the Coliseum area
few of the other places of interest, as
we'll as Battle mountain, which rises to
the west from the vale of Minnekahta.
and which is historical from the fact
of its being the battle ground where
the Sioux and Cheyennes fought for
the possession of the springs. In re-
gard to the curative powers of the
baths l will mention two cases which
came under my own observation. F..
H. Muller, of Clarinda, Page county,
Iowa, afflicted with a severe case of
rheumatism and almost helpless, came
on the 10Th day of June. After taking
two baths he laid aside his clutches;
in three days went up stairs without
any help, and in n week was SO far
recovered as to be able to return to his
home. The other case was similar. A
