Charley Richards was here Friday
visiting relatives and friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Miller are mourn
ing the death of their baby, which oc-
cured last Friday.
I. L. Smith has gone to the eastern
part of the state to look after his farm
ing interests for a few weeks.
Mrs. Walt Fisher and daughter left
last Saturday for San Diego, CAL,
where her husband has located. He
likes it very much there.
Geo. Gibson thought he was happy
with his two bright little daughters,
but since that boy arrived last Satur-
day his joy knows no bounds.
A. Ii. Merchant, assistant general
freight agent of the Elkhorn, brought
a party of his Sioux City friends in a
special car Sunday and they spent the
day pleasantly in the city at the Evans,
leaving Monday for Deadwood. The
party comprised besides Mr.. Merchant:
20. o. Tolerton, G. A. Knapp, A. s.
Hanford, John Hornick, B. III. Kings
bury, w. B. Palmer and H. G. Cheyney.
They comprise some of Sioux City's
leading wholesale and business men,
who are we'll known. to most of u
merchants. Mr.. Cheyney is the Elk
horns commercial agent of Sioux City.
The recent strike of gold ore almost
in the streets of Lead has created
great excitement in the northern Hills.
Otto Grantz was the d%iscoverer of the
wonderful ledge f.om which he has
since been taking out three or four
thousand dollars in gold each day.
The ledge is SO very rich that q person
could easily carry off a big days wages
in their pockets, and Grantz keeps a
guard over the property all the time.
For years the people of Lead have
been walking back and forth over this
ground in going to and from their ball
grounds, never dreaming that such
great hunks of gold we're just beneath
the grass roots. Property all about
there has greatly enhanced in value in
consequence of this rich find.
II. b. jackson, representing the De.
troit, (Mich.) Photograph Co., accom-
panied by several assistants, were here
in a G. & N. W. special car last Satur-
day, Sunday and Monday, taking views
about the city and in Wind Cave.
They have a German method for max
ing colored photos that seems almost
perfect. The photos that they had on
exhibition from all parts of the world
were grand and the finest collection
ever exhibited in Hot Springs. They
obtained some excellent views around
here and will have colored photographs
of them on sale here next spring. Mr..
jackson is the official photographer
for the Northwestern and other rail
roads, and is n of the finest artists
in his line in the United States.
The STAR has been fully prepared
during the past week to enter into
competition with any horticultural ex-
hibit in the land. We have had san
pies of apples grown upon the "Moun-
tain Fruit Farm" of Geo. Trimmer,
within the city limits of Hot Springs.
They are just as pretty and sound as
apples grow. One thing in apples
grown in this country that is always
noticeable is that there are SO few
wormy ones. Upon the whole there
probably isn't as fine an orchard as
Geo. Trimmer's anywhere in this west
ern country, and none in the east that
bear so heavily, and Of such elegant
fruit. Col. Conner remarked upon his
return from his journey through sew
eral eastern fruit states that he saw no
orchard that was bearing equal to Geo.
Trimmer's orchard and none that
seemed to have such fine fruit. Just
look over his orchard and you will be
surprised and delighted.
Live for those who love,
For those whose hearts are fond and
true,
The only way to do this right,
Take Rocky Mountain Tea at night.
Ask your druggist.
