The Hills at the Omaha Exposition,

Most of the Black Hills counties are
taking very active interest in an effort
to be represented at the Omaha expo
sition, and Commissioner Hymer of
Deadwood has outlined few methods
for properly exhibiting some of the
various interests. Lawrence county
will have very extensive exhibit, re-
quiring about $1,000 square feet of floor
space. Mr.. Hymer said that Hot
Springs would probably present a min
iature plunge, with brownies desport-
ing therein. Edgemont will make a
display of grindstones, ranging from
one inch to eight feet in diameter.
Lead City proposesto construct a min
iature stamp mill and have it in opera
tion, showing the progress of crushing
ore and extracting the gold. Ragged
Top has decided to construct a minia-
ture mountain resembling that famous
rugged peak, with it's towns, camps,
mines, ETC., delineated in bold relief.
MIR. Hymer had expected to be in the
Springs Thursday, but was prevented
by sickness. He will be here soon to
consult the citizens about being repre-.
sented at the Omaha exposition.

Bathing Large Numbers.

Last Saturday was college day at the
Stewart bath house, and they bathed
1GO persons, including their regular
bathers. This will net the college
about s32.5O.
Wednesday was Minnekahta's college
day, and Notwithstanding the terrific
wind there we're about 20 bathers, net

Saturday will be Catholicon day and
everybody who expects to take bath
this year should be sure to go there
for it will not only make you feel
good physically, but mentally, in know
ing that you are helping the college at
a critical time.

Isador Cavanaugh, who was indicted
under the name of Charles Brown, at
Deadwood, for numbering Mrs. Emma
F. Stone, has been found guilty and
sentenced to be executed ON Wednes-
day, July 14th, between the hours of
10 q. m. and 4 p. m. This was most
brutal murder and the quick manner
in which the murderer has been dealt
with is something for which Lawrence
county may be congratulated.

Soldiers Home Affairs.

Notwithstanding the fact that nearly
all the members of the Home petioned
for the retention of the present man
agement-the board sat down upon
their request and appointed Arthur
Linn. And more than that, a large
number of G. A. r. posts petitioned
for the retention of the present man
agement, and the G. A. E. encamp.
ment endorsed the management by a
unanimous rising vote-and still the
question of politics must be considered
and the "reform" party take all that
the shifts in politics bring.
Mr.. Linn will take possession July 1,
and we hope his management may be
as praiseworthy and successful as that
of his predecessor.
1t is whispered that j. W. Harding,
of Jerauld county, who has at various
times been Il candidate for governor,
congressman, and last fall for secretary
of state-each time on the populist
tickets to be appointed adjutant.
He is said to be excellently qualified.
The outgoing officers are not all de-
cided upon what they may do. Capt.
Lucas is contemplating going to his
former home, Chamberlain, where he
has interests, though he is considering
remaining in Hot Springs, which we
hope he may conclude TO do. Mr..
Kintner will remain here-which will
please many friends. And Mr.. Cleve.
land is also likely to remain, which
would be good news.

Taken to the children's Home.

Judge Gardner had before him IL case
of some little interest, it being brought
by the Children's Home society of
Sioux Falls for the custody of four
children belonging to Roger b. Young
of Hot Springs. The children in ques-
ton are two boys and two girls, aged
respectively seven and nine and eleven
and sixteen years. The father resisted
the action and brought the case into
court. Miss Allie Jewel represented
the Children's Home society. Tho evil
dence brought out that the mother had
abandoned the children and since that
time the surroundings have not been
suitable for the children, the two girls
at least. Maude, the Oldest of the
children was in court and her evidence
was strongly against her home sur
roundings.
Judge Gardner rendered his decision
giving the two girls into the keeping of
the Children's Home, but allowing the
two boys to remain at home with their
father.
Miss jewell in company with Maude
Young left Saturday evening for Sioux
Falls and steps will be taken at once
for the appointment of aguardian for
the young lady.-Rapid City Journal.
Annie, the younger daughter,
was taken over from the Springs and
placed in the charge of Miss Jewell at
Buffalo Gap, accompanying her to
Sioux Falls.
Mr.. Young says that he expects to
have the girls back again before long.

G0T THE WRONG NAG.
A Couple of Horses Trade Places And
Get n Darkcy in Jail-Explana-
tions Release Him.

j. +. Parks has had charge of w. II.
Frye'sI horse ever since it's owner left
the city and last September placed the
animal in r. r. Connor's pasture. A
short time ago he paid for the pastur-
age and was told that the horse was all
right, came through the winter nicely
and looked we'll. John has always be-
friended George McManus,a colored
rshcher living north of the city and
when George called upon John sew
eral days ago to borrow a horse the
latter concluded to loan the Frye nag,
which was an expense to him without
any income. So he directed McManus
to go to Connor's pasture and get the
horse. With the assistance OF Mr.
Murphy, who now has charge of the
pasture, they caught the gray horse
that they all supposed was the same
FRYE horse that was put into the pas
ture in September. McManus was US
ing the horse with his own in hauling
wood to town and one day he was re-
. quested to give up the gray horse as it
belonged to w. l.. Judkins. He re-
fused, explaining whose horse he had,
as he understood it.
1t seems that Mr.. Judkins had been
looking everywhere for gray horse OF
his. but to no avail, and discovered
that McManus was using it. Some
how or other these two gray horses had
been exchanged in that pasture and
those in charge of the pasture knew
nothing of it, supposing all the while
that they still had the Frye animal
and Judkins thought his horse was on
the range somewhere. But when Nc
Manus was found with Judkins' horse,
and refused to give it up, Judkins had
him arrested for stealing his horse.
McManus was placed in Jail Saturday
night, where he remained until Sunday
morning when Mr.. Parks heard of his
dilemma and got him out on bail.
The trial was to come up Monday
morning before Justice Dudley, but by
this time the whole matter was on
planned and understood and the COM
planning witness asked for the dis
charge of the prisoner.
John Parks is out his pasture money
and the Frye horse, McManus spent
night in Jail and w. L. Judkins has
recovered his long lost horse-all
through an innocent blunder, or more
particularly because those horses in
some unknown manner exchanged
places, one getting into the pasture
and the other getting strayed upon the
range

HOT SPRINGS SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, JUNE 1S, 1897.
TEACHERS EXCURSION

TEACHERS EXCURSION
Will Arrive in Hot Springs on Wednes-
nestlay. June 23-Series of Enter
tainments to be Given.
The arrangements for the excursion
of teachers and others, going to the
Black Hills country for rest and recre
alton are practically completed and a
very nice party, estimated at from 10
to 100, is assured. This excursion is
not confined to teachers, any one who
wishes can join the party. From this
city alone, there will be fully forty.
The high school symphony club, num-
bering some ten or twelve pupils, are
meeting for practice nearly every day,
preparing themselves to furnish music
for the pleasure of all who participate
in the trip. Mr.. Sclosser secured a
specially low rate for the club and to
defray their expenses they will give sew
eral entertainments in the Hills. For
the purpose of giving them high
and creditable musicale, considerable
vocal talent will accompany the party.
AS these vocalists are personally
known to the Argus-L Leader, this pa
per can cordially recommend them to
all lovers of fine music.
Mrs. Il. II. Snyder will accompany
the excursion and has kindly volun-
teered to assist the symphony club by
appearing at each of the entertain.
ments. Mrs. Snyder will surely capti-
vate the Hills people just as she has
the people of Sioux Falls by her sweet
and cultured voice.
Mrs. r. G. Parmaley, who has pleased
many a Sioux Falls audience by her
vocalizing, will also have a place on the
program.
Miss Edna Carter, who has a first
class reputation over the entire east
ern portion of the state, will also take
part in each performance. A couple
of years ago Miss Carter made tour
of most of the towns east of the river
and was the recipient of much praise
for her fine singing.
Miss Chloe Palmer, another local
favorite, will also assist by singing one
number each. evening.
Last, but by no means least, there is
our own Lynn Parmley. If Lynn does
not captivate the music loving people
of the Black Hills with his sweet tenor
voice we miss our guess. The SYM
phony club was in luck to secure
Lynn. In fact they came near losing
him. He was on the verge of signing
a musical attraction, but at the last
minute decided to stay at Sioux
Falls.
There are few musical combinations
on the road that comprise more real
merit and good singers than can be
found in the party that will visit the
Hills ou this OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The excursionists will arrive on the
morning of the 23rd and the concert
will be given in the opera house on
the evening of the Oath. The admission
price will be % cents and Mr.. Schlos-
ser says if any one is dissatisfied all
they have to do is to say SO and they
will get their money back.
OF Mrs. Snyder it is said that she is
probably the very finest in the west
in her line, having received her educa-
tion in Germany and Italy.

when the newly elected officers were
installed. Mrs. Pickler in very elo-
quent speech, in behalf of tho w. r.

beautiful emblematic pin, or badge.
Upon the pin at the top is the word
"President". underneath and in the
center of which hangs three jewels

bay leaves. Below this. and suspend
ed by delicate chains, is the emblem
of the order. the letters "F. C. 81" in

of white enamel, bound with gold.
Still suspended from the upper bar,
with small gold chains is the badge of
