Rev. H. u. Baker. who for the past
five years has been pastor of the Pres
byterian church of this city has ac-
cepted the pastorate of the First Pres
byterian church of Sheldon. ILL.,. and
has already entered upon his duties
there. Rev. Baker writes that he is
much pleased with his new charge and
it goes without saying that his Sheldon
congregation is greatly pleased with
him. During his five years residence
here MIR. Baker has endearcd himself
not only to the members of his own
flock. but to every resident of the Hills
who has the pleasure of his acquaint-
ancr, and it is with Il feeling of pro
found regret that the STAR is called
upon to chronicle the fact that he has
decided to cast his lot elsewhere. As
an entertaining and instructive public
speaker Rev. Baker has few equals in
i'll the state and ;is profound thinllc.
and a scholar his place will be hard to
fill. Mrs. Baker and daughter. Grace
have not decided when they will join
Mr.. Baker but it is not probable that
they will leave before the the present
college term closes. Tho congregation

days with peritonitis and as the STAR
goes to press on Thursday afternoon
nearly the last ray of hope for her re-

up bravely under the trying or!eal.
During the past two or three days it
has been necessary to keep her under
the influence of opiates. She has been
conscious at intervals during the two
days but several hours past has been
lying in a comatose condition.

RECEIVER is our or THE EVANS.
The Appeal Bond Accepted and Col. swa,
Again in Possession.

The Appeal Bond Accepted and Col. swan
Again i'll Possession.
The appeal bond of $4,000 given by
the Dakota Hot Springs company, in
the receivership case, has been appro-
we'd by Judge Gardner, and Receiver
Curtiss gave up possession Tuesday to
Col. Sw II as trustee, and he is again
i'll charge, and the hotel being run
under the old regime as though, nothing
had happened. This takes the matter
to the supreme court, and in the mean
time the property is being advertised
to be sold on March 9th under the
judgment of the Sioux City Safe De-
posit " Trust Co. The highest bidder
will of course get deed from the
special master in chancery. Then the
Hot Springs company will have year
in which to redeem, and as we under
stand it. the matter might be held
open for redemption for still another
year by the payment of costs and the
interest for year in advance.
While this whole matter is purely a
private muddle it is OF great public
Importance to Hot Springs.

to various newspapers in the Hills and
elsewhere recently regarding the talk
ing possession of the Hot Springs COM

kind of man. He performed his
duties as receiver in IL perfectly Lawful
and orderly manner, being always care

Looks Like Gold Mines at Our Door.


Conductor Zollinser says that the
assays from the recent locations that
they have made are pretty good, one
returning s4.60 i'll gold. The assays
We're made i'll Denver. The ore WAS
taken from the surface in prospecting,
and other assays were from 10 cents
up to $3.50. 1t is the limestone rock
which crops out near the city and can
be traced all along in IL northwesterly
direction to the limestone range west
of Custer. where the recent excitement
was aroused. The fact that this assay
of Si.GO was from an upshoot of lime
stone and that the poorest samples re-
turned 40 cents. is enough to arouse
Hot Springs to at least IL hope that we
are not far away from good paying ore.
A large number of claims have been
located. and people are going out every
day in search of encouraging prospects.
Since the assays are SO good it is en-
pected that some development work
will be commenced at once. There is
certainly an endless body of the ore
and if it improves as depth is attained
it looks as though tits going to be great
and in our fancy we already begin to
picture mines and mills within the
suburbs of our city, and bloated gold
bugs venturing upon the streets at any
hour of the day.

IS THE WAR OVER |?
Short but Terrific Struggle-Modern Methods and Quick
 Work.

The struggle which has attracted such universal interest and which has appar- ently ended in inglorious defeat to the aggf fessors in the quarrel, finally and cer- tainiy confirms the theory of the experts that in business as well as in war mod ern inventions and methods prevail. Hence 1t is that the great department store system as conducted by the Messrs. Drennen, of our city,ls silencing every gun of the old style, single line dealers, who started out to crush the new meth cd of merchandising in its incipiency. They soon found that their anticipated methods. of conducting business on the 'big profit and small sales" theory could no more withstand the sharp-shooters of low prices of the up-to-date depa rtment store system than an inferior army, arnn- ed with match-lock bIunderbusses could stand before a battery of long-ranged, rapid firing Gattling guns.
 The department stores do not confine themselves to any one line of goods, but sell everything. And in buying goods a t the advantages only known to the wide awake buyers with the ready cash to back them, and cutting down expense s in the handling of goods in every possible way, they simply set the pace in making prices and make the single line fellows dance to the music
