4 New Industry.

y new industry has been started in
Hot Springs in the shape of the Bel
gian Hare business. Frank Evans has
moved building on his lot north of
the house in which he lives and he,
with Archie Riordan, will enter the
business of raising Belgian Hares.
This industry has become quite pop
ular throughout the United States and
Europe also parts of Australia. Some
people have misconceived idea about
Belgian hares, thinking they are raised
as pets. or owned bya select few be-
cause of the fad. However this is not
the case. The meat of the hare is
superior to quail, frogs legs or turkey
and is less expensive. Besides the
sale of the meat, there is good profit
in the hides which sell for from fifty
cents to one dollar and half each.
At present the meat sells for about
twenty cents pound. This is higher
than will be the case in few months
or possibly year, caused by the de.
mand for breeding stock. The Hot
Springs establishment has two
registered animals now and five more
will arrive in few days. The new
enterprise deserves our favorable com.

Politics was the main topic with the
veterans two weeks ago,.lbut now it is
politics and watermelons. There
is no line drawn in watermelon dis.
cussion however, as is the case with
politics.
A new hydrant for small hose has
been placed to the north of the hos

of watering the grass and flowers
easier and take less hose.
Two rooms are to be added to the

foundation is laid and water works
connections made at present.
The veterans we're given treat
Sunday night in the way of good
sermon by Rev. Sparkling and music
by the famous violinist Hans Albert
and few local musicians. After the
sermon the audience was given the
liberty to 60 or stay as they chose.
Most stayed and listened to an hour
of music. Hans Albert played with
his wonderful skill and feeling several
numbers and quartet composed of
Mrs. A. G. Cleveland, Miss Edith
Cleveland and Geo. r. Hedge and
James Hedge Jr., sang. Miss Emma
Silkenson played piano solo and
accompanied the violin and quartet
The veterans seemed to enjoy the
evening and their seeming satisfaction
made it enjoyable for the performers.
Death has called another veteran of
the Civil War. Monday morning at
one o'clock, Francis NJ. Law died at
the Home, aged 81 years. Mr.. Law
attended the service in the chapel in
the evening and was greatly delighted
with the music, being musician him
self. After the service he went to his
room and had a friendly controversy
with one of his room mates about a
scripture quotation, settling it by
saying they would look it up in the
morning. Both then went to bed feel
ing good and counting the Sabbath
day we'll spent. Only few hours
elapsed till an epileptic fit seized Mr..
Law and in a few moments he was
dead. The dead veteran served over
four years in freeing the black man.
He was with both the 14th and Goth
Indiana Volunteer Infantry regiments
The four years of service were honor
ably and faithfully performed. The
funeral services were conducted in
the chapel Tuesday, Rev. Pearson
preaching the sermon. Mrs. Law
wife of the deceased. and three daught
ers we're in attendance. The two sons
who are in Chicago :could not come tt
attend the last services of their deat
father. The family live jim Rapid City
where they have resided for fourteen
years. Mr.. Law was among the frs
of South Dakota's veteran inhabitant
to enter the home, he being the fiji
teenth to be put on the roll, tina
being ten years ago last April. Th
veteran Law has answered his las
roll call on earth ana awaits tn
reveillee of the next world.
