An Appreciated Com pli,n ent.

An eastern subscriber, formerly
resident of Hot Springs, in renewing
subscription says: II like the politi-
cal spirit of your paper, and the paper
in general, and feel that can scarcely
do without it,"
The STAR fully realizes that its eXis-
tence isn't an absolute necessity to the
happiness or welfare of anybody-un-
less it be it's publisher. Yet such a
compliment as the above is appreciat-
ed nevertheless. We get them occa-
sionally, perhaps oftener than the pa
per deserves. No one probably real
ICES the shortcomings of the newspa-
per more fully than it's publisher, if he
is competent newspaper man. There
are many things that the country pub
Usher would like to print that his lim-
tied space, as we'll as his limited pock-
ct book, prevent. Friends frequently
are kind enough to the publisher to
hand him extracts from other papers
that happen to catch their fancy, and
out of the goodness of their heart they
want to ''help out'' the editor. but the
clippings can't always be used; in fact
cannot often be used. for the publish
er of a local newspaper can as a gener-
al thing use only that which may be of
material benefit to the locality or con-
cerning people thereof-and very Of
ten it is atherembarrassing to him not
to be able to use that which his friends
has selected for him. 1t occurs, too.
not infrequently that there are local
items omitted just because the pub
Usher knows nothing about them,
when he would be very glad to have
given the mention, Here is where "a
local newspapers friends may be of
valuable aid. Ii they would inform
the publisher of the arrival or depart
ure of their friends, or of matter of
interest regarding their friends, they
would not only crafty the publisher
but would doubtless please their
friend, who might otherwise feel slight
ed. The country newspaper-well!
we did not start out to give lecture.
and must not But after all it is
sometimes gratifying and satisfy
ing to have some intelligent subscriber
say II like the spirit of your paper
and the paper in general, and feel that

silas A. Strickland Post Giving and Seek
ing Information.


The following circular letter has
been sent to the various posts of the
state:
Headquarters Silas a. Strickland
Post, No. 127, G. A. R.-Hot Springs,
s. d., March 10, 1899.
"At the suggestion of Department
Commander Farr, and other Grand
Army men, it has been deemed advis-
able to gain information in advance as
to the number of members of your
Post, including ladies and civilians,
who may be expected to attend the en-
campment here June Z, 8 and 8. 1t is
important that your Post furnish such
information not later than May Is, and
earlier if possible. There will be ac-
commodations for all, and hotel rates
are fixed at from 775c to 81 per day.
The 81 rate includes the best hotels in
the city Fifteen hundred guests can
be comfortably cared for in hotels
alone.
"If the officers of each post will be
good enough to furnish US with the
number of persons who are likely to
attend the encampment from their
neighborhood it will aid us materially
in making proper arrangements to
care for all on arrival of trains.
s.The Black Hills soldiers and sailors
will hold their annual encampment
with the department encampment,
thus insuring the grandest reunion of
veterans and their friends ever held
in the state. Several of the best bands
in the state will attend the encamp-
ment.
"The Fremont. Elkhorn Il Missouri
Valley railroad has made SD rate
from Sioux City to Hot Springs and
return, good for thirty days, which is
about one cent per mile. The rate
from all points east of the Missouri
river to Sioux City is to be equally
low.
"The encampment trains will leave
Sioux City in the morning and run
through to Hot Springs, arriving here
in time for supper. There will be en-
cursion rates of one cent and q half
per mile to all points in the Black
Hills over all roads from Hot Springs.

What Lent Means.

Behold / am Lent.
Observe that my garments
Are sack cloth and ashes,
And are not cut on the bias.
My language is
Prayer and supplication
To be holier,
To be humber,
To be cleaner,
To be lifted into
The empyrean of sinlessness.
Water is the wine that my
Thirst craveth,
And my hunger
Asketh only dry bread;
Mine eyes are bitter in tears.
And the smiles that lighted
Ny countenance
Are eXtinguished in gloom;
My steps take hold
On thorny paths,
And my head is bowed
Beneath a heavy burden;
I go about as one
In the atmosphere of woe,
And / wouldn't
Waltz a waltz, or
Drink a drink, or
Ha-ha a ha-ha, or
Whoop a whoop,
For forty days
For forty dollars.
But after Easter!
Well,
That's different!

CARRYING WOOD
Across Railroad Trestle and Met Her
Death

Yesterday afternoon Matilda Dickson, a
negro woman about 45 years of age, was
run over and killed by the southbound
Louisville and Nashville passenger train
NO about mile north of Blount Springs.
The woman was crossing a trestle at the
time with her arms full of wood, so say
number of section hands who were near.
The track on which the train was approach
ing is down grade, and there is a curve In
it just before reaching the trestle, so that
the engineer didn't see the woman in time
to stop his train. The unfortunate woman
was ground under the wheels of the en-
CINE, and the whole train passed entirely
over her body and went some distance be-
yond before it could be brought to a stand
still.
The woman lived about $50 yards from
the place where she was killed. She has
a stepson who is a cripple, living in tho
vicinity, and the remains were turned over
to him and other colored people for burial.

MAY REDEEM THE OPERA.
Bigamist Rosenberg Finally Marries
an Actress.

A dispatch from Chicago says the fact
has just come to light that Max Rosen-
berg, the actor, is the hero in pretty ro-
nance which eliminated in his marriage to
Harriet Wolfson, an heiress, who formerly
lived in Houston, Tex. Rosenberg was con-
victed of bgamy in this city about one year
ago and was given a six months Jail SEN
tence by Judge McCray. He was granted a
new trial and then pleaded guilty. The
court sent him back to Jail for a few weeks
and he was finally released on the strength
Of certificate filed in court by physician
who said that the prisoner should either be
turned out or sent to the hospital.
Rosenberg was convicted on the testimony
Of Blanche Louise Mitchell, a Chicago fire
dancer" to whom he was married This
marriage occurred in Chicago, and a few
months later Rosenberg came to this city
with theatrical company. In the company
with him was a Miss Crawford, and during
the week they were here Rosenberg and the
girl were married. When the company
reached Chicago ROSenberg's two wives met
and the story came out. Blanche Louise
Mitchell came to Indianapolis and had
Rosenberg indicted, Miss Crawford declin-
ing TO appear against him. The Mitchell
woman employed w. w. Thornton to as
sist in prosecuting the case.
The news that Rosenberg has married an
heiress will be read with interest by At
torneys Herod 6, Herod, who defended him.
Rosenberg was without funds, but he owned
an opera entitled "Elysium," which he was
getting ready to stage in Cincinnati when
he was arrested. Herod & Herod took the
opera as security for their fee, and they
have ii yet. w. w. Thornton remarked
by the Mitchell woman for his services in
aiding the prosecution.
