The Hot Springs of south Dakota.

The following letter from Mir. w. NJ. Ty- son, Commander of the Pennsylvania Sol dier and Sailors Home at Erie, Pa, writ ten on his return home, after stay of some weeks at Hot Springs, South Dakota, indi- cates that the Springs are in fair way to become one of the leading health resorts of the country:
 ERIE, PA, Feb. 2s, 1895. Col. FRED EVANS, Prop,
 "Evans Hotel" Hot Springs, s. D.
 Dear Sir: Among the many who have been benefited by treatment at the Hot Springs, 5. D., and have experienced courte- ous hospitality at your hands, l claim the right to say word in behalf of the Springs as health resort, and cannot do better than to state the facts in my own case.
 left Erie, Pa, about November 1, 1894, my friends at the time doubting whether would ever recover my health. l arrived at Hot Springs so weak and disheartened that it required aid to leave the cars and reach the hotel. For the first two weeks felt no improvement. Then I experienced change, which continued until my departure, and re- turned to my home very much stronger, and almost free from pain.
 do not hesitate to say to anyone seeking relief from pain, and desiring rest that l do not believe there is any place where an in valid can go and find so many advantages, such as healing waters, pure air, grand mountain scenery and comfortable hotel &C., commodatlons, as Hot springs, D. U. The elegant Evans Hotel is equipped with every provision for comfort, and all that goes to make one feel at home. lam 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, am Truly yours,
 (SiqnSd) w. M TYSON.
