The Hot Springs of South Dakota.

The Hot Springs of South Dakota.
The following letter from Mr. w. M. Tyson,
Commander of the Pennsylvania Soldier and
Sailors Home. at Erie, Pa. written on his re-
turn home, after stay of some weeks at Hot
Sprin gs, South Dakota, indicates that the
Springs are in a fair way to become one of the
leading health resorts of the country:

Evans HOTEL" Hot Springs. SD.
EEAR SIR AMONG the many who have been
benefited by treatment at the Hot Springs,
S. D.. and have experienced courteous hospital
ity at your hands, 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.
1 left Erie, Pa, about November 1, 1894, my
friends at the time doubling whether / would
ever recover my health. l arrived at Hot
Springs so weak and disheartened that re-
quired aid to leave the cars ana reach the ho-
tel. For the first two weeks 1 felt no improve
ment. Then / experienced change, which
continued until my departure. and returned to
my home very much stronger and free from
pain.
do not hesitate to say to anyone seeking re-
lief from pain, aud desiring rest, that do not
believe there Is any place where an invalid can
go and find SO many advantages, such as heal
ing waters, pure air, grand mountain scenery
and comfortable hotel accommodations, as hot
Springs. s. d. The elegant Evans Hotel is
equipped with every provision for comfort, and
all that goes to make one feel at home. am
so thoroughlyconvinced 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 appre-
ciated, am Truly yours.

horrors of the latest massacres, the most
awful stories of which are contained in

the last three or four weeks put those
which occurred some time ago at Sas-

ground. More persons we're killed than
were murdered during the Bulgarian
atrocities in 1876, and the massacres are
only paralleled by that which took place

The so-called firing upon the British
ship Loeb Rannoch in the Dardanelles
is said by the Turkish officers to be a
matter of little Importance and easily
explained. They say that the Loeb Ran
noch arrived after shutdown, and that
instead of anchoring she attempted to
proceed and was signaled from the shore
by gunshot to bring up. AS she did
not do SO a second shot was fred and the
Loeb Rannoch let go her anchor. The
"shelr' which is said to have whizzed
over the head of the Rannoch is pro-
nounced to have been nothing more than
the wad from the gun on shore. This is
the Turkish explanation of the matter,
and is believed to be about correct, for
nothing more appears to be known here
of the affair.
From the provinces there is not much
news forthcoming. The Turkish officials
are apparently doing everything possible
to suppress any facts except those which
are favorable to the government.
