Col. FRED EVANS, Prop,
 s.ENans Hotel i Hot Springs. s. D.

 Dear Sir: Among the many who have been benefited by treatment at the Hot Springs, $. D., and have experienced courte- ous hospitality at your hands, l claim the right to say a word in behalf of the Springs as health resort, and cannot do better than to state the facts in my own case.
 1 left Erie, Pa, about November l, 1894 my friends at the time doubting whether would ever recover my health. arrived at Hot Springs so weak and disheartened that 1t required aid to leave the cars and reach the hotel. For the first two weeks felt no improvement. Then I experienced a change, which continued until my departure, and re- turned to my home very much stronger, and almost free from pain.
 l do not hesitate to say to anyone seeking relief from pain, and desiring rest, that do not believe there is any place where an in- valid can go aad find so many advantages, such as healing waters, pure air grand mountain scenery and comfortable hotel ac- commodations, as Hot Springs, B. D. The elegant Evans Hotel is equipped with every provision for comfort, and all that goes to make one feel at home. am so thoroughly convinced of the many advantages to be found at your location, that it is pleasure for me to recommend the Hot Springs to invalids, and to those seeking amusement as well as health.
 Wishing you every success, and that Hot Springs may become better known and ap- preciated, l am Truly yours,
 tSigwd1 w. M. TYSON. The Hot Springs of South Dakota are reached directly by the Burlington Route.

This was because Hoods Sarsaparilla purified their blood.

 Mir. Mendax-Well, my boy. I have been thinking over your affairs, and have hit upon plan.
 Jaclk-I hope it is feasible, sir.
 Mir Mendax-Old Vail thinks you have no ability, or rather wants you to prove that you possess some. Now, why not convince him of the fact by forging his name to a check for ten thousand dollars and having it cashed2 Jack-You forget, sir, that l have no initiative talent
 Mir Mendax-But I have. What is more, I know where old Vail banks, and have here check duly filed up and signed in his name for ten thou sand dollars. It is all my own work, but that's no matter. Cash it-I defy any human being to detect the forgery and then when old Vail learns his loss, say you did it. The bank must make it good.
 Jacz-But, father, is it honorable in me to steal your thunder-to claim your work as mine?
 Mr. Mendax-Spol1en like your high minded self, Jack. But there is noth- ing wrong in this case, since consent to letting you have all the credit. (Hands check over to Jack, who poclx- cts it.)

 Dora But he can succeed in this if we help him. My plan is to revive the old Roman cult-the worship of Jupiter and Juno and the rest. We could build temples to Venus and found a new order of Vestal Virgins.
 Eunice-What head you havel The higher education of woman is not a failure, after all. Hail the new wom- an, say. Then you think by becom- ing high priest or something of the sort Jack can win papa over?
 Dora-I am sure of it. But not a word of this to anyone. 1 have taken mamma into my confidence, and she is enthusiastic. We mean to give pub lie address and found an order at once.

practicable TO keep observers continuously

in the contrasted views OF Mars, obtained
from a Photographic plate, and by the draw
ings made from the telescope observations
Of this planet.
"Of the invisible and immeasurable regions
beyond the farthest reach Of any instrument
known to us today we can only conjecture
by inferences from the heavens within our
range of view. 1t is safe TO say, however,
that there is no evidence that we are ap-
preaching a limit in our knowledge Of the
extent Of the universe
Upon some points Of recent and curious
inquiry and speculation, Prof Pickering
prefers to reserve his opinions The visible
stars are known to be of like character to
our sun. and may be centers Of solar sys-
TENS like ours, but the possible existence
and number of invisible planets like cur
earth are still matters OF surmise. As to
the existence of vegetable and animal life in
any OF the planets, there is still doubt and
disagreement, If not open controversy. BY
some astronomers 1t is confidently main
tained that Mars and Venus in particular
are adapted to sustain vegetable and even
animal life. Venus is SO constantly enveoped
in CLOUDS that observations are difficult, but
this planet Is said to be apparently passing
through conditions like those of our own
earth ages ago Its atmosphere is of twice
the density of that of our earth, and animals
that may exist upon 1t would be modified
correspondingly.
The atmosphere of Mars IS about one-half
as dense as that OF the EARTH and this condi-
tion will produce like modification of any
life existing on this planet. That the sur
face Of Mars is singularly marked by num-
Der of lines is determined by such con-
currence Of independent observations that 1t
may now be safely accepted as a fact, but

of the members of the council had pledged
tn -mselves to the payment of half of the

The city's share Of the expense was 81 100
and Mr. Stonberg was astonished that the
members of the council would try to get out
by paying half Of the amount they were
pledged to pay. The matt.r was referred to
the committee on roads with instructions
to appear before the council and seek an
adjustment Of the claim, according to the
terms of the original agreement.

On Saturday, June l, the Spokane del
egation to the l. o. o. f. state conven-
ton in Tacoma will leave Spokane in a
special sleeper via the Great Northern
railway at lilo p. m. This route was Sc
lected by the delegation on account of
its many attractive features, including
the matchless scenery of the Cascade
range and Tumwater canyon, the supe-
rior train service and rock ballast road
bed insuring freedom from dust. The
trip from Seattle to Tacoma will be
made by the steamer Flyer, the fastest
boat on Puget sound, immediate con-
nection being made at Seattle The
rate is one and one-fifth fare for the
round trip, on the certificate plan, and
the same basis is in effect from o. r.
x N. stations through to Tacoma, via
spokane and the Great Northern. 1t
is expected that large number of del
egates from the Palouse country will
avail themselves of this opportunity to
join their Spokane brethren. 1t is un-
derstood that the Masons will also pat
ronize this route on the occasion of
their meetings in Tacoma, Seattle and

nave been granted, via both lines.
