From wednesd.y's Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Fred Gillespie is OF on q business
trip to Omaha and his little son Jack
accompanied his uncle John Morrow
to Mitchell where he will spend the
summer with him.
Parties from up Hot brook and
from Minnekahta say the rain was the
heaviest that ever fell in that locality
and in many places the roads are
washed so that they are almost i'm.
passable.
Mrs. W. w. Eller and daughter,
cousins of Mesdames Caughey and
Clark, came in from Atlantic, TO-. tu
spend a couple OF weeks visiting. Mr..
Eller who is U. S. deputy marshal
will probably be here to return home
with them.
The damage done at the dam at the
falls will delay our having lights un.
til Sunday or Monday. The dam re-
mained intact, but the earth at the
side was washed out for SO feet, down
to bed rock. A new frame dam is now
being built in this space.
j. NJ. Booker returned from the
Mitchell convention this morning. He
visited friends east of the river. He
thinks the republican party won't have
walkaway Of it this fall, although
he admits that the independent ticket
is not as strong as it might be.
Messrs. Rice and Wynan of Lexing-
ton, Neb. who have been here for the
last three weeks, taking in the city
made the STAR pleasant call this af-
ternoon and are firmly convinced by
the cures they have seen made, that
the waters will do all that is claimed
for them and that this is model
health resort.
DR.. Crist of the Edgemont Express
is in the city today trying to boom his
city. They are working Is teams and
$50 men grading the streets. He says
the storm blew some of the buildings
in course of erection down and the
high water washed out part of the
wagon bridge. The dam for the ditch
was slightly injured and can be re-
paired in day or two.
The Edgemont Express of last week
was beauty six column quarto on
fine book paper, containing handsome
illustrations, and decidedly striking
reading matter relative to the induce.
ments Edgemont has to offer speculat-
ors and homeseekers. They published
5000 copies and their town will un-
questionably soon feel the results of
such effective advertising. There is
no better way of advertising.
Harry and Nellie Shuman, who
were arrested on Sunday afternoon
and who have been languishing in the
city Jail since that time were set at
liberty this morning. Sheriff Blakcy
received word from the authorities at
Denver that the county would not put
up the necessary expense to have an
officer come here to identify them and
if they were the parties wanted, bring
them to Denver; so they were released.
Hot Springs people are righteously
indignant over the alleged actions of
some of the undesirable portion of
that community. The crime of which
the men are acused is one of the worst
and large number of arrests have
been made. Public sentiment is
thoroughly aroused and according to
the reports it is high time it should be.
1t should not subside either, until
something decisive is done to make it
impossible for the perpetrators to ever
do the like again.-Rapid Journal.
Frank E. Millard, of Gary, s. D.,
one of the most gentlemanly horsemen
it has ever been our privilege to know,
is in the city and we understand there
is an effort being made to secure him
to come to this city and hold series of
race meetings. He is not a sport or
gambler but fair and honorable
gentleman who takes great interest in
speeding horses and if he should be
called to superintend the races which
will be held here, when we get race
track, he will give perfect satisfaction.
The Hot Springs house has been
leased to man by the name of Young
from Indiana who will take hold in a
few days and proceed to entertain
guests. He is said to be a man of
large experience in running hotels and
will no doubt make success. Some
