Mrs. j. M. Smith and little son went
up to Lead this morning to visit her
nephew for few days.
A dance at the Shope block last night
afforded amusement for all who attend
ed and a good time is reported.
Three insane patients were taken
from Deadwood to the asylum at Yank-
ton by the superintendent, DIR. Mead.
The white rats in the vicinity of the
hotels have multiplied SO fast that they
are becoming a nuisance and are get
ting into the buildings in that vicinity.
The senatorial central committee of
the district will meet at the Evans ho-
tel on Friday evening, September Ia,
for the purposeof calling the senatorial
convention.
Chas. r. Coming and wife, of Wash
ington, ID. c., are here for lengthy
visit. They say they have heard of
Hot Springs all over the country and
have come to find out if all these glow
ing opinions are really true.
A. w. Mcgowan went to Pringle this
morning where he has accepted po-
sition as book-keeper and shipping
clerk for j. H. Gordon at his saw mill.
The latter has just taken a contract
for getting out 10000 feet and it must
be gotten out in three weeks.
Jay Crane, Ed. Bernier and w. r.
Cramer loaded up their mess wagon
and lit out for the Hills country above
Custer where they will prospect and
placer and try to get enough cotton
tails to keep them in grub. That they
will have a good time goes without
saying.
In american Climates and Resorts"
published at Chicago, A. F. Mckay,
M. ID. gives very instructive and at
tractive article ON the Hot Springs.
The article occupies several pages, is
profusely and nicely illustrated and
treats of climate, location, surround
ings, etc. of the Springs, and is one of
the most readible and instructive arti-
cles we have seen.
George Schrendgust of Hat creek was
thrown from his horse yesterday and
rendered insensible and thought to be-
seriously injured. DIR. Jennings was
called and found slight internal inju-
ries and one of the meta carpal bones
on his right hand. He will be all right
in a few days. The doctor was then
called to Ardmore to attend Mrs. Som
ers, who is suffering with fibroid
tumor.
Another attraction is being put up
for the Evans. It is large glass fish
pond, and Henry Mum will have it
ready for use in day or two. It will
be filled with trout, pickerel, bass and
gold fish in different divisions and will
be placed on the veranda in front of
the hotel for the inspection of every
body. It will have constant stream
of water running through it and will
be great attraction.
H. d. Walrath, prominent citizen
of Watertown, s. D., after spending
couple of weeks here, leaves for home
this evening. He says he visited Hot
Springs, Ark, when it was about this
size, and he thinks we have far better
prospects for a good city than it had
at that time. He is very enthusiastic
for railroad to connect us with the
eastern part of the state and says both
parts of the state would be greatly
benefited by it.
Mr.. Maravek, section boss at Edge
mont, shot himself accidentally yester.
day afternoon from the effects of which
he died at at II o'clock last night. DIR.
Howell attended him and informs us
that he had his shot gun laying on the
car and went to get it to shoot a rabbit.
He pulled it toward him, muzzle first.
The hammers caught, the gun was dis.
charged and and the contents of both
barrels entered his abdomen near the
navel. Nothing could be done except
to relieve the pain and the usual anes-
thetics were administered. He was a
man about twenty-three years of age
and leaves wife and a babe.
The Baker Plaster mill at this place
has been closed down and will probably
remain closed for the winter. The
failure of crops throughout the states
to the east of us and the consequent
letting up on all building projects, has
forced them to do this, but when it is
known that the big min at Blue Rapids,
Kan, the finest in the west, has done
the same thing, it is not to be wondered
at. The product of the Hot Springs
mill has grown rapidly into public ia
vor and the reaction in business circles
that is bound to come before long will
put the industry to the forefront and
give us a manufacturing plant in Hot
Springs that will be worth great deal
to US. As soon as the B. &. M. is open
