The. Dakota Hot Springs.


Tie Hot Springs of Arkansas have
long been deservedly popular, for the
reason that there has been no other
place that has filled the requirements of
both a health and q pleasure resort.
This state of affairs has changed. The
Hot Springs Of South Dakota have, In
recent years, been thrown open to the
people, aDd because Of their delightful
situation and great curative qualities,
are becoming more popular every day.
Situated as this resort Is, In the famous
Black Hills, in the midst of beautiful
mountain scenery, possessing that pecu-
liar balsamic atmosphere which Is In
itself health-giving, with waters that
are pronounced by experts equal IL not
superior TO those Of any other mineral
springs in the world, il will Don out
rank any other like resort.
The hotel accommodations are OF the
best-hOsteiries with all the modern i'm
prOvements and conveniences. The
Evans Hotel, built Of pink sand stone,
with steam heat, electric lights, and
every room an outside one, is easily the
best conducted house between Chicago
and Denver. Fine bath houses are
connected with the best hotels. The
rates of all the hotels are very reasona-
BILE. The surrounding country is more
than picturesgue-it is wonderful. The
marvellous wind Cave: the falls of
Fall River; Battle Mountain, the old
Indian battle ground /; DeadwOOd and
the gold fields, and the famous Bad
Lands are all within driving distance.
The mammoth plunge bath at the
Springs is noted as being one of the
largest natatOriums In the world. So
healthful are the surroundings, and so
many the conveniences of this "Carls-
bad of America" that 1t is rapidly
becoming the Mecca" not only for
invalids, but for pleasure seekers as
well. The burlington Route" reaches
there in 4 day and a halt from st. LOUIS.
Pullman sleepers and free chair cars on
train No. II run to Lincoln, and from
Lincoln free chair cars and sleepers run

SHELBY WAS BEATEN,
Celebrated Case Closed at Lexington
Kentucky.

Lexington, KY, March 15.-General 10
o. Shelby, United States marshall OF Wes-
tern Missouri, has lost his suit to break
decided for Mrs. Clay, the defendant. The
verdict was q great surprise and the case
will be appealed. General Shelby and
his nieces, the Misses Crosby, will leave
for Kansas City tonight.
The suit was brought by General Shelby
Immediately after his mothers death in
1891 on the ground that undue influence
to cause her to leave him out of her will.
The defendant was Mrs. Annie Clay, nee
Gratz, half sister to Gen. Shelby.
When 10 Shelby was 8 years Of age his
father. Orville Shelby, died. 10 was the
only child add he with his mother con-
tinued to live on the estate on Green
river. After remaining a widow nine
years, Mrs. Shelby was married to Benja-
min Gratz. a widow Of depleted fortune,
and one child, the present Mrs. Clay, was
the result Of the union.
At the time Of this marriage the Shelby
estate consisted of interest in q farm near
C~hildsburg, q house In Lexington, lands
on Green river, forty or fifty slaves and
considerable cash. ALI PASSED into the
hands of Gratz, whom Shelby then a lad
OF IA, trusted implicitly, Inc who seems
to have been an honest man. Gratz died
when Shelby had grown to man hood,
leaving nothing of the small he had when
he married widow Shelby. This was
proved by an old diary kept by him, in
which he set forth the fact that he would
be able to leave his wife nothing, or at
least very little, and expressed sorrow at
not having a. much to leave to her as he
possessed when he married her, Shelby
had married and was living at Lexington,
No., and had amassed considerable prop
erty when the war broke out. Prior to
this however, Mrs. Gratz had loaned
1000 to one James Allen, who owned a
farm Of 400 acres near Lexington, Mo-,
and this farm was named as security for
the loan. Allen failed to pay the debt,
his farm was sold and Mrs. Gratz bought
for her son General Shelby, Q farm of 400
acres in Bates county, this state. This
farm the General still possesses.
In 1891 Mrs. Gratz died. She had lived
her second husbands death with
her daughter, Mrs. Clay. She left an es-
tate valued at from s67 600 to $4,000, and
when her will was opened, it was found
she had left a, 900 Zach to the four
children Of her sister, the wife OF Admiral
Crosby, and the remainder to Mrs. Clay.
General Shelby had not been on good
terms with Mira. Clay for many years, and
he claimed that the children Of Benjamin
Crate by his first wife, and Mrs. Clay, had
told false stories Of reckless waste and
wanton behavior to his mother, thus in
ducing her to leave him out of the will.
General Shelby's mother was 81 years
of age at the time Of her death. As Gem
eral Shelby lost all he had except the
Bates county farm, which was in his
wife's name, in the war, SO the story of
his being a spendthrift were undoubtedly
believed by the old lady.
