Dick Palmer came over from Oelrichs
!. this morning and went north to Hill
City to visit friends and look after
business matters.
Harry Gayhart who has been off on a
trip to Omaha attending the marriage
of his brother, returned here this morn
ing feeling all the better for his outing.
The deer in the park near Harry
Clark's residence escaped today and
has been moving about town. The
dogs about town don't seem to notice
him.
Frank Stewart and wife, Ed Lennon
and Archie Riordan came over from
Gap today for a short visit. The stock
men are arranging for a meeting of the
stock association in the neal future.
Fred F. Turner, Paxton al,,gher's
man, came in this morning. He has
recovered from his election expert
ence at Chadrcn and is circulating
among his friends, the grocerymen,
selling goods.
Roger Young informs us that he has
sold two dozen shovels to parties who
are going to prospect for hot water in
the vicinity of Cascade. Whether the
old gentleman was joshing us or not,
we are at a loss to determine.
Emil Hargens has secured the loca-
ton he O occupies for a term of
years and has made up his mind to re-
main in Hot Springs. He has great
faith in the future of this promising
young city. He is the right kind of
stuf-such as is sure to win.
The commissioners will meet on the
first of December to look over the tax
book which Auditor Smithson and his
deputy have been busy preparing for
the last month or six weeks. The taxes
this year will be much less than last
year.
Senator Conway of Iowa, who was
here during the summer taking baths.
is mentioned as a prominent candidate
for governor of Iowa to succeed Gov.
Frank jackson who has already an.
nounced that he will not be a candi
date.
The weather service promised us a
cold a last night, but it did not
materialize at Hot Springs. They may
have had it at other places, probably
did-but the manipulation of the winds
and waves does not take into account
the special immunity from stormsathat
Hot Springs always enjoys.
Phillips and son are reported to have
bought a two-thirds interest in the
Edgemont Express and will take edi-
torial charge of the paper. These are
the gentlemen who first started the
Dudley Reporter which was merged
into the Express. DIR. Crist will
probably go to New York to take a
course of lectures in medicine.
One of the peculiarly sad things
about the death of Miss Anna Peter
son was the fact that she was to have
been married sometime during the
Christmas holidays to a young gentle
man of great promise named Clark who
came home with the young lady and
who is almost FRUSTRATED with grief at
her untimely demise.
The ease of the state VS. Mrs. Had
dock of Edgemont for cruelty alleged
to have been practiced upon her four
year-old grand daughter came on for
trial before Judge Boomer at IL o'clock
this morning and Judge Frye, attorney
for the defense, moved for and obtain
ed a change of venue to Judge Ridpath
and the trial commenced at 1:3O. There
were q number of witnesses and the
testimony was somewhat conflicting.
The justice listened to the evidence of
the prosecution and the scrapping of
the attorneys and dismissed the case
without hearing the evidence for the
defense.
The Commercial club of Lincoln has
returned home and one of the men,
mers has taken occasion to show their
appreciation ofthe trip by writing a two
column descriptive article in the State
journal in which Hot Springs comes
in for a good share of praise. In their
resolutions the committee did not for
get the kindness shown them andspeak
in glowing terms of their carriage ride,
of Wind cave and the baths at the
plunge and other bath houses. We
never lose anything by trying to enter
tain such a company of prominent
guests.
We are surprised that our cigar deal
ers do not patronize our home cigar
factory. We have had occasion to
sample some of Mr.. Smiths work and
without hesitation pronounce them
far superior to many brands Of cigars
that are sold here at the same money.
We believe there is no better goods on
the market at the prices he asks and
