CAMP LIFE.
As Passed on Vandrnffs and Big ISL
ands.

unuS.
All one wants to do in order to
spend an exceedingly pleasant after
noon Is to visit Nandruff's and Big
islands and call on any or all of the
different campers. The camping
season has once more broken forth in
all its glory. and people are begin
in~ to find some shady spot where
they may spend week or so away
from the care of ordinary routine.
Yesterday afternoon an ARGUS rep
reScntative visited both the islands.
and was received in most hospita-
| bic manner.
Camp Liberty is the familiar and
pleasant resort OF Capt. j. NJ. Boards
ley and family. The camp was
reached ut about 4:30 and a pleasant
chat was had with Mr.. Bcardslcy.
Besides Capt. and Mrs. Beardsley.
Mr.. and Mrs. &. +. Bailey. Mr.. and
Mrs. ID. Il. Shaw. Marvin and C. l..
BcardSlcy and Ole Hanson occupy
quarters in Camp Liberty. Right
here il must be said that Ole Hanson
is noted in that locality fer being the
greatest fisherman that ever put foot
on Nandruff's island. He has come
honestly by this title, for it is very
cold day that Ole doesn't land from
| - to 30 bass.
Bidding adieu to the inhabitants
of Camp Liberty. Camp Oklahoma
was visited. Everybody knows good
natured and jovial Dick Colemere,
and they also know that he is one of
The finest fellows in the land. On
June :, Dick, accompanied by his
wife and daughters. the Misses Ella
and Katie Colemere, and Peter Mel
grcm. went into camp on Vandruifs
| island, having first secured the pri
vilcge of the whole island. Oklahoma
is the supply camp of Vandruff's, and
genial Dick is the proprietor. Root
beer. soda water. ice cream, cigars
| and minnows can be secured ut all
times. Besides this. Dick rents space
on the island to campers at reason
able rates. After 4 jovial chat and
refreshments with Dick and his in
tcresting family. the representative
strolled over to Big island, and after
Il 5-minute walk from the street car
line, hove in sight of Camp Sunrise.
Camp Sunrise is situated directly
across from the Tower and in the
midst of thickct. tits one of those
pretty spots where nature has shown
its generosity and which man appre-
ciates. Under the incorporating
branches OF gigantic locust tree,
CampSunrise is pitched. and jollier
or more hospitable set of campers it
would indeed be hard to find.
The party lis chaperoned by Mr..
and Mrs. Frank n. Horn and Mrs. &.
=. Rugg. and consists also of the
Misses Clara and Tillie Hass. Agnes
and Anna Bixby. Grace Joeb. Carrie

Imagine. if you can. II or IS
young folks, whose object is to have
an excellent time away from the heat
and drag of the city, and then form
an idea of what degree of success the
inmates of Camp Sunrise are meeting
with. Messdamcs Horn and Rugg

manner highly gratifying to the al
ways hungry campers, while the
other lady members of the camp

Those of our citizens who have spent
a whole year or i'll this climate
need no statistics to prove to them
that we have nj of the best climates
for the entire year that can be found
anywhere. But it is not so easy tocon-
vince those invalids who are looking
for Il health resort that our climate is
different from that of South Dakota or
the Black Hills III general simply upon
our unsupported statement. We have
been lame in this one respect of re-
liable statistics regarding our immed-
late vicinity which we know differs
from other portions OF the Hills where
the weather records are kept. 1t will
be remembered by those present at the

The proposition for the bonus to be
given by the citizens of this place to
secure the Peterson Touring mill has
been changed. 1t is now proposed to
have the subscribers give % per cent.
when the building is commenced. %
per cent when the machinery arrives,
% per cent. when the building is COM
pleted and % per cent. when the mill is
in operation. In consideration of this
the proprietors of the mill agree to pay
back the subscription of each one to
them within II year in the product of
the mill. This is a new deal and will
probably meet with more favor. The
STAR sincerely hopes our business men
will come down literally and secure
the mill.

For q. FIGURING Mill.

Mr.. Peterson is here from Grand
Island to see what Hot Springs will do
toward securing their Touring mill.
They propose to put up a mill here
valued at $4,000, but ask the citizens
to subscribe to their capital stock in
the sum of $4,000. 10 per cent. of which
is to be paid when the machinery ar
rives, 10 per cent. when the building is
enclosed and the balance in monthly
installments of 10 per cent. After the
final payment of the subscription is
made. paid up stock is to be issued III
full of amout paid. Mr.. Peterson says
the plant will represent an investment
of $4,000. the machinery being of the
latest make, with all the modern i'm.
provements. prepared to make the
finest and best grades of wheat and
buckwheat flour and corn meal.
A good mill will unquestionably be
of great benefit to our city.
Chris Meyer. of the Pioneer market,
is intimately acquainted with Mr..
Peterson. and recommends him as an
A l man.
+. Il. Evans has started the subscrip.
ton to stock by taking $1,000 worth,
which is encouraging indeed. and if
others follow as their abilities permit
we will be assured of the mill.

The Wind Cave Excursion.

S%evcnty-five people took in the en-
cursion Thursday to Wind Cave. 1t
was Il beautiful day for the drive, which
was much enjoyed. The twelve mile
drive is but an e%Xhilaration. The cave
was reached by the first detachment at
1880. and the last was III hand about
III. After IL hearty meal at the hotel,
by a large number, and IL picnic dinner
by others. the cave was entered. The
only change of dress was by the ladies',
who donned white caps. The wind Mt
the entrance has not ceased it's contin-
ual roar, and it was cool and refreshing
compared to the hot air that famed
the parched earth. Yet those who had
not been into the IA the women es-
pecially, were rather before
going down into the dark depths
through such Il cyclonic roar. But
after descending about 10 feet the can
dies we're lighted and the progress
downward made with more case. After
going down apout $50 feet we leave the
l%-stairs and wind and twist around
through the wonders and delights of
the and chambers. and gorges
and crevices. pass yawning gaps that
seem bottomless, and wend our way
out into the greatest underground
wonder known. At each chamber the
procession would halt until all had ar.
rived. when Uncle John Stabler would
make Il few explanatory remarks, tell
81 story, and start IL song familiar to all
which made music indeed as it rever-
berated through the endless apper-
lures of the craggy cave. Mechanics
band made the old ave ring with
music at each chamber, and with the
band and Uncle John the cave was
made merry throughout. The Garden
of Eden route. being the shortest, only
occupied about three hours time, but
it vas Il grand revelation to those who
had never been there. The Garden OF
Eden chamber is IL perfect bower OF
beauty, and lighted up with hundreds
of candles. it's delicate ~frost-covered
walls. with fairy alcoves and sparkling
grottos. presents a scene that one will
ever remember with delight. The trip
was a happy one for all, and they will
improve every opportunity to say Il
good word for the ave. and urge other.
to go and see the charming wonder.

was taken. Mr.. Snivcly has been doing
u big business with the Edgemont COM
pany and had been cashing lots of their
checks. Pay day occurred on the 18th
and that accounts for Mr.. Snively
having so much money on hand. There
is no clue to the robbers. but there is

opportunity. Fortunately Sheriff
Blakey was over these at the time and

Good Yield from Irrigation.

Thursday Ed Bond threshed part of

acres of oats he got 4o5 bushels. and
from five acres he received 200 bushels
of barley. We call that pretty good

under irrigation in this section there
will be no need of people worrying at

The AdeIman CONCERT,

If the people of Hot Springs were
never treated to Il high class, artistic
musical entertainment before, they
had that privilege Monday night. The
members of the .Adelman Concert Co.
are the very cream ofthe classicaltalent
of Omaha. Franz .Adelman is not
simply IL performer, he is an artist;
and as his soul was thrown into his
nimble fingers. there came from that
world-famed little combination of wood
and strings, u flood of melody that
thrilled the hearts of his performers and
made them feel that the very essence
of genius was before them. His ren-
ditions were simply marvellous. Mr..
Pencil is in possession of a rich bari
tone voice, which he has under perfect
control and the encores received is a
better ideN of the appreciation of his
audience than anything we can say.
Miss Myrtle Coon is a graceful and
easy soprano. Her voice is clear and
musical and her solos delighted he1
listeners. The duet of Miss Coon and
Mr.. Pencil was simply immense. Mr.
Marshal is one of the very few first
class pianists who is also "a good ac-
companist. His musical ability is
coupled with that rare gift of tact that
makes him full at ease in following the
vagaries of IL soloist and he did it to
perfection last night. 1t was such Il
concert as only Il true musician could
fully appreciate.

miasma spread. The majority of the Dem
ocratic party, great in numbers, favored it
and declared in loud voice that the poor
mans dollar was being taken from him.
Their arguments being in direct line with
fat money heresy they helped to resurrect
that oft exploded the ory. Meanwhile so far
as numbers might do so the Democratic
party fastened to dignity some of the So
cialistie schemes of the Populists. Want,
hunger spread over the country with unpre-
cedented severity.
Is it any wonder that thousands whose
educational opportunities do not permit
them to sift fallacy from fact have teen
swept off their feet and are founderin , in
uncertainty: Is it any wonder that some
few of them have caught at the straws set
afioat by such men as Coxey: Is it any
wonder that others have lent their influence
to abet such schemes, although they may
not participate in them?
Finally, is there any competent judge of
events and causes who does not believe in
his heart that, had the Republican party
with its established policies been retained
in control of this government we should
not now be confronted with the condi ions
which render armies of the .commonw eal''
possible?
