HURON, S. D., Jan. 22.-From Black
hills gentlemen here yesterday 1t was
learned that the efforts now being made
for the location Of a branch of the
national soldiers home at Hot Springs
is likely to prove successful. DR.. E. h.
Clough, who is leader of the movement
and chairman of the board of commits
sioners of the South Dakota soldiers
home at Hot Springs, is aided by Sen
ators Kyle and Pettigrew, Representa-
tiVes Knowles and Kelley, DR.. G.. r.
Clark. department commander South
Dakota G. A R.: President Perkins, of
the Burlington railway system, and
scores of other prominent and influen-
tial gentlemen in various parts of the
country, in awakening a sentiment IN
favor of locating the new home at Hot
Springs. Three years ago a number
of eX-Union soldiers, forty or more,
were sent to the soldiers home at Hot
Springs, as an experiment and to test
the curative properties of the waters
of the springs. These men were af-
f]icted with nervous and rheumatic all
ments, some of them being in deplor-
able condition. Their stay of a few
months at the home was so beneficial
that all were returned practically cur
ed. This is being used as an evidence
that the curative properties of the
springs, together with the general eli
matte surroundings and conditions, is
! peculiarly adapted to these troubles
| so prevalent among old soldiers. The
| committee of the senate on military
| affairs has reported in favor of an ap-
preparation for the proposed new build
ing, and it is quite probable that the
committee having the matter OF loca-
| ton in charge will decide in favor Of
Hot Springs. The state home now
| there can admit only soldiers resident
! in South Dakota, while a national
| home will receive and care for ex- Union
! soldiers from any state or home in the
| country.

It was accordingly decided to try and

county, with the consent OF the oppos-
ng counsel, consulted the members of

stances it was thought that day could

case was in shape for an appeal. Mr.
Richardson accordingly filed the neces-
