A Trick That Won.

nal of that city, ga hot campaign was

John knew that the police force was
totally unable to cope with it If there
should bo riot. There wasn't much Of
any police force in those days. The few
officers that there were didn't have any
uniform outside Of plug hat. On tho
front of this was semicircle of tin,
with the mans number on it.
'There was no money to pay for aa-

EvanEelist, gets After Satan.


The famous evangelist, E. Payson
Hammond, who has stirred the people
in revival meetings all over the world,
arrived last Monday morning, accom-
panied by Rev. j. B. Currens, of Oma-
ha, and that night began holding un.
ion meetings under the direction of
the preachers of the city. His plan of
action is in holding what he calls
''workers meeting" at p. M; child
ren's meeting at and everybody's
meeting at 7:30 each day. He takes
especial light in his work among the
young people and is surprisingly sue
cessful. At his first children's meet
ing there were over fifty that expressed
their desire to lead christian lives and
that evening at the Presbyterian
church there were a number of con-
versions. The church was crowded
and great interest was manifested by
both old and young. Tuesday night
at the Methodist church he held the

sacred sentiment and emotion, togeth-
or with effective reading of scripture.
Rev. Hammond informed the writer
that there were near 100 conversions
during his stay in Hot Springs.
Though we'll along in years he is a
most vigorous man, is full of energy
and activity, and certainly is accom-
plishing much good. He left for
Rapid City Thursday morning, where
he will hold meetings for u few days
and then goes to Deadwood.

Winners.
The fireman's poverty ball" at the
court house Wednesday night was
largely attended and q most enjoyable
party was the result. The music BY
Sackette, Mueller and Weiss was ex-
ceptionally good, the court room is an
excellent place for dancing, the Rebek-
abs furnished good refreshments, and
everything passed of elegantly. Miss
Gertie Odell was voted the White
Satin Sack of -four donated by Richer
& Co.-it bringing s26.75. There was
quite spirited, friendly rivalry be-
tween the friends of several young
ladies, but Miss Gertie captured it, re-.
ceiving 23O votes, Miss Bessie Perry
receiving the next highest vote, which
was l69, while Miss Mary Wilson re-.
ceived 122. John Sackette gets the
other sack Of White Satin, he having
sold the most tickets, disposing of
about fifty. There were many very
curious, comical and tasty costumes
there being some extremely neat ones
upon the ''pove, ty" order. A descrip-
tion of some of these would no doubt
be interesting, but space and time pre-
vent.
The total amount realized from the
party will be near 500, which will go
to help defray the sanitarium expense
bill. The fire boys are great hustlers
and whenever they take hold of any
thing they make success of it.

Acetylcne Gas Introduced in Hot spr,nr

Acetylene Gas Introduced i'm Hot SPRINGS.
V. d. Peterson has been engaged in
putting in the new lighting methods
acetylene gas-at numerous places in
the west during the past year, and has
given the matter a great deal of study.
until now he he has made what he con.
siders great improvements upon the
system. He is therefore now placing
his own lighting plants, and the first of
the kind to be placed in Hot Springs
is for S. G. Silkenson's home. It has
cost in the neighborhood of 300, furn-
ishing twelve lights. The fixtures are
similar to ordinary gas fixtures. Mr..
Peterson ssys the cost of the lights is
one-half cent an hour for 25 candle
power burner. The light is q beautiful
color-quite like sunlight-makes
scarcly any heat, and indeed seems as
near true light as could be made. Mr..
Peterson claims several points of su-
periority in his machine, which he calls
"The Safety" he having, as its name
implies, sought to do away with what
ever danger from explosion existed be-
fore, besides doing away with heat from
the lights.
The acetylene lighting system is be-
coming quite popular in many places,
and Mr.. Peterson's improvements are
likely to bring him a snug competency.
Mr.. Silkenson says that he can not
speak authoritatively yet regarding the
cost of lighting, as he has not the sized
burners that he should have, but he is
much pleased with the lights.

every auditor in the very first effort,
'The Lady Bird" and they refused to
release a soul thus imprisoned until
the last number was sung, and it was
