Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1894-04-20
Rev. Brown returned Wednesday
from bis Wyoming journey.

Cortez Salmon, the state superin.
tendent Of public instruction has given,
notice that he will be in Hot Springs
on the 4th and 5th Of June, to hold
examinations for the state certificates.
The case against Charley Jones Of
Cascade was dismissed in Judge Ka-
nable's court Wednesday and all the
parties concerned went home in the at.
ternoon and we suppose the difficulties
have been smoothed over.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. W. Sharp Of Glen
wood, Ia, old and valued friends OF
o. L. Templeton and wife, arrived on
Tuesday morning to make them an OK.
tended visit. Mr.. Sharp will take a
course OF baths for his health.
With visitors coming to Hot Springs
from all portions of the country, and
with smallpox infesting several cities
of the east-Chicago especially-it
would be wise for people to see that
all are vaccinated who have not been.
DIR. Jackson, the division surgeon OF
the Elkhorn at Chadron, died in Oma.
ha on Saturday afternoon from the re-
suit of surgical operation for appen-
dicitis. Deceased was we'll known in
this city, as we'll as all along the line.
He was surgeon of acknowledged
ability and his death will cause great
regret.
There is complaint made that there
are three tralnps in town, daily beg
ging from the people. All Of them
were upon the street today SO drunk
that they could scarcely navigate.
Such characters should be distinctly
given to understand that there's no
room for them in Hot Springs. They
deserve no charity.
Rev. H. H. Gilchrist returned from
his six weeks tour of southwestern
Wyoming Tuesday, where he has
been holding revival meetings. He
reports excellent success, and having
been steadily engaged for six months
he comes home to take rest; and ex-
cept his attendance at the association
and the conference at Omaha, he will
probably be at home till some time in
August.
H. G. Townsend, the general passen-
ger and ticket agent of the Missouri
Pacific railway, at St. Louis, Mo-, is
wrought up over the fact, as he alleges,
that the "Vale of Minuekahta" strik-
lngly resembles book gotten out by
his company over year ago for the
DeSoto Springs. We have not seen
the book it is said to resemble, hence
cannot affirm or deny his statement,
but we are very certain he must be
very jealous of Hot Springs and the
advertising it is receiving.
The STAR in its mention ct the Phi
lomathean entertainment Monday
night omitted to mention one of the
good numbers of the program, the
humanophone. This was new and
novel feature and brought the house
down with laughter. The humano-
phone itself consists of large white
curtain with a music staff drawn upon
it with notes representing an octave.
Holes were cut through the curtain at
proper intervals, through which the
faces of eight of the vocalists of the
college were thrust. These faces rep.
resented particular notes and each one
responded to the note it represented on
the staff when pointed to by the direct
or. Rev. Frame acted in this capacity,
and his speech upon his new musical
invention and his subsequent hand.
ling of 1t was one of the hits Of the
evening.
E. A. Blunck returned from Ere.
mont Saturday, where he has been
for about week. He says the peo-
pie of that place have become quite en-
Unused over Hot Springs, and while
there he worked up a desire amcng the
Odd Fellows Of that place to make
their annual excursion to this place,
and If they come, there will be 400
persons in the party. Phineas Will
liams, who was here last year, has en-
gagged rooms and will be here in about
a week with his wife and three chill
dren to stay some time. Accompany
ing them will be o. D. Harris, wife and
children and George Taylor who will
stay all summer, also j. Y. Smith, wife
and four children and 43 others whose
names he has in his book. He mot j.
