BUILDING BOOM FELT
IN SOUTHERN STATES
City of Jacksonville Rising
Anew From the Ashes.
Atlanta Becoming Town of Towering
Skyscrapers-Need of Capital
in Birmingham.

NEW YORK. April 81. - According to
has just returned from an extended tour
of the Southern States. the South is hav-
ing the greatest building boom since the
civil war.
The storm centers of building. as Mr..
Given puts it, are Jacksonville. Fla; At
lanta, Ga, and Birmingham. Ala, and
Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tenn.
The work being done In Jacksonville in
wolves the practical rebuilding of the
business section of the city, which was
destroyed by the great fire. Mr.. Given
says that the business blocks being put
up on the sites OF those destroyed by fire
are much more substantial and artistic
than the old. The people of Jackson
VILE seem to be running 10 solidity and
beauty of architecture rather than alti-
tude.
Atlanta's Skyscrapers.
1t is in Atlanta, however, that the most
pretentious buildings in the. South are be-
ing put up. The desire for skyscrapers
seems to have hit Atlanta, and the desire
is being gratifed. In fact, according to
Mr. Given. Atlanta is New York's one
rival In all the South in the way of build
ings whose attitudes increase. Mr.. Given
says there are four or five buildings under
way in Atlanta, most OF them for business
purposes, which will range frCin twelve
to fourteen stories in height One htotel
which is to be called the Piedmont, will
be fifteen stories.
Need of Capital.
Everything is booming in the building
trades in Knoxville and Chattanooga, and
they are doing the best they can in Birm-
ingham. In the latter city, however, capi-
tai is very badly needed. About a dozen
years ago building boom struck Birm
ingham, rom which there was a serious
reaction The demand for the new build
ings was nowhere near as great after they
were ready for occupancy as IL was when
they were building. There is greater
demand for new buildings there now than
there was in the former boom. but the
supply of capital does not seem to be
adequate.
Mechanics in the building trades can
get more work than they caH do. accord
ing to Mr.. Given. in any of the cities men
toned.

For wind Cave National Park.

Although there is no prospect for
legislative action on the subject at
this session, Representative Lacey OF
Iowa, today introduced bill setting
aside as national park the famous
Wind Cave caverns in Custer county.
8. D. It gives authority over the pro-
posed park to the secretary of the in.
terror, and contains provisions protect.
ing the rights of settlers.
There is prospect that the Wind
Cave caverns may be shortly made a
part of the Black Hills forest reserve
and in this manner practically made q
national park for the benefit of the
people. Representative Martin had a
conference with interior departmen
officials today in this connection. Mr..
Martin suggested that the Wind Caves
be made part of the Black Hills res
eryation, and this idea was favorably
received by the department officials.
The matter would be presented to the
president with view to having him
issue proclamation on the subject

A National Bank for Hot Springs.

The Merchants Bank is SO far out
growing itself that it will be organized
into National Bank at, once. This
was decided at a meeting the other
day of r. s. Kelly, w. w. Stewart,
president and cashier of the Merchants
Bank, M. Flanagan, of Minneapolis,
who is we'll and favorably known here.
and b. Il. Gallagher, cashier of the
First National Bank of, O'Neil Neb.
These persons are men of large means
and extensive banking experience, and
they propose to: make the National
Bank of Hot Springs one of the strong.
est financial institutions of the west.
They have already applied for a char
ter, and hope to be prepared for bust
ness as a national bank within 80 days.
They have under consideration the
construction of fine stone block in
place of the present Merchants Bank
building, though it may not be built
until next year. Hot Springs will
welcome the National Bank, with such
strong backing and continued under
the shrewd and conservative manage
ment of Messrs. Kelly and Stewart.

the BRIDES parents in this city, Miss

to the illness of the brides father The
wedding was quiet one, only relatives
of the contracting parties being pres

known and popular in Buffalo Gap
and Hot Springs, the bride having
taught school at the former place for
the past four years, while the groom has
resided there for number of years.

The Elkhorn Engineers.

The best room, and the best fur.
nished room, in Our Lady of Lourdes
Hospital is the one numbered fourteen,
1t is on the second floor, and COM
mands the only entrance to the bal.
cony over the front door. The room
has been decorated and completely
furnished by the locomotive engineers
of the F. %. & NJ. V. railroad, principal
ly those running out of Chadron, Neb.
The furniture is golden oak, with bed
of green enamel and brass, while the
colors used are green and pink.
The room furnishes every convent
ence for an invalid which could be
thought of, and yet there is nothing
about it suggestive of hospital
There is little story connected with
the furnishing of the room, j. r.
Stanton, the Elkhorn engineer who
was so seriously injured near Buffalo
Gap, some time ago, was patient at
Our Lady of Lourdes, and became SO
interested in their work here in Hot
Springs that, upon his recovery, he
undertook to interest his brother en-.
gineers in the furnishing of room.
The response to his appeal was most
generous and the elegantly furnished
room is lasting proof of the big-heart-
edness of the LOGON olive engineers of
the T. r. & NJ. v railroad

ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND

ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND
Capt. II. Il. Palmer Writes Hopefully and
Encouragingly Relative to Hot
Springs.
Col. A. j. Kellar is in receipt of an
interesting letter from Capt. H. E.
Palmer, one of the managers for the
National Homes for disabled volunteer
Soldiers, who has from the inception
of the idea, been firm and faithful
worker for the National Sanitarium at
this place. The STAR is permitted to
make the following excerpt from Capt.
Palmer's letter to Col. Kellar:
'Your June 10Th received and con-
tents noted. enclose herewith copy
of the Sanitarium bill as approved by
the President May Goth, 1902. You
will note that under the bill the citi-
zens of Hot Springs must donate to
the United States, ETC., PROVIDED,
That such Sanitarium shall be erected
on land donated to the United States
by the people of Hot Springs, South
Dakota, and accompanied with deed
of perpetual lease to one or more of
the medical or Hot Springs for the use
of the above named Sanitarium, the
location and area of the land and
spring of hot water to be selected by
the Board of Managers of the National
Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers.
or such persons as they may appoint to
make the selection of location and hot.
springs, and that exclusive jurisdiction
shall be vested in said Board of Man
ayers over the premises occupied by
said Sanitarium as over other realty
held by said Board until further enact
ment by the Congress of the United
States
"Now as as a matter of suggestion on
my part, friend Kellar, am quite sure
that the Sanitarium cannot be built on
less than 40 acres of ground.
"We want to commence the Sanitari-
um at Hot Springs on plan suggest
i've of Improvement, and need room to
build. Necessarily there should be
park and handsome one, about the
premises. Il
~ believe also, friend Kellar, that
when it is thoroughly advertised as it
will be that the government has Sc
lected Hot Springs, s. D., as their San
itarium for soldiers of all wars and for
the regular army, that it will be an
impetus to the growth of your city
that will simply surprise the oldest in
habitants. You ought to have 25O0O
people there within ten years. I be-
lieve you could we'll afford to give away
half of all you own to get this work
under way.
"We have meeting of the Board in
New York on the 2Sth of this month.
1 shall attend this meeting and advise
the Board that the Hot Springs people
are ready to meet the committee for
the selection of the ground and springs,
and that all demands will be promptly
complied WITH
A Washington special of June II,
says that representative Martin had
opened up correspondence with the
National Board of Managers of the
Soldiers Home with view to having
the board of managers select the site
for the new sanitarium this summer
and if possible put in the foundation
in the fall, so the building may be
completed and furnished next season.
AS the board will hold meeting in
New York June %, it is anticipated
that Mr.. Martins suggestions will be
taken up at that time and some def
mite plan ofproceedure be agreed upon.

COUNTY TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

COUNTY TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Largely Attended and an Enthusiastic
Interest Manifested by all.
The high school building presents a
lively scene this week with some sixty
teachers actively engaged in studying
methods for the improvement of work
in our county schools.
At no time in the history of our
county has the attendance and interest
been greater.
Beginning with an enrolment of
twenty-si last week Thursday it has
increased to sixty-one up to today.
Better than that, the teachers who
first enrolled have remained, earnestly
engaged in the work of the class. room
day after day. We may we'll be proud
of the teachers who thus show interest
and progressive spirit in their work.
Much regret is expressed by those
who entered late that they have missed
so much of the work so ably presented
Dy the instructors IN Clarg0.
A local institute is by far the most
valuable to teachers, for while the ex-
pense to the county is somewhat great
er than joint institute conducted by
several counties, the accessibility and
lessened expense to the teachers en-
ables them to attend the entire session
and secure the best possible results
from the institute.
The forenoon session has also proved
its value in better prepared work by
the teachers. Following is the pro-
gram:
7:30 Orthography
7:55 Arithmetic
$50 Grammar
9:O5 Reading
9:25 Music
9:45 Recess
9:55 Roll call and devotional exer-
else
1000 U. S. History
1925 Geography
1850 Primary work and physiology
ILLS Literature
l1:40 Civics, current events, physi-
cal culture
Instructors: Prof. j. N. Davis,
conductor; Alice Cary Wilson, primary;
Anna E. Fitch; Chas. s. Cobb.
Much credit is due to Miss Black,
Co. Supt., for the splendid success of
the institute.

Lieut.. wsiterson Resigns.

The resignation Of First Lieut.. Henry
Watterson, Jr., of the Twenty-ninth
United States Infantry, has been ac-
cepted by the War Department. He is
the son of Henry Watterson, editor of
the Louisville Courier.Journal. 1t is
said that Lieut.. Watterson was found to
have duplicated bis pay accounts. He
drew his salary for several months in
advance before leaving for the Philip
pines, and on his srriyal there, it is said,
he drew 1t again, making shortage of
about $4OO. He was to have been tried
by court martial, but offered to refund
the money and resign, whic' offer was
accepted by the war department.. It is
supposed that Lieut.. Watterson lost the
money playing cards on the transport on
the way to Manils. Lieut.. Watterson
served In the war with Spain as q private
and afterward Corporal in Company c.,
First Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, be-
ing mustered out on February "a, 1899.
On juno /, 1899, he was commissioned
Second Lieutenant in the regular army
and assigned to the Tenth Infantry. He
was promoted to first lieutenancy on

rasi Hal. Train Tor southern.

The Southern Railway will in the
course OF few weeks put on fast mail
train between New York and New Or
leans, which will reduce the time he
tween New York and Atlanta to swenty-
two hours.
AT first the train will carry only. mail
and baggage cars, though IL is the inten-
tion OF the management to add passen-
ger equipment as soon as the fast sched-
ule has been given complete trial. Tho
new schedule will DO operated in com
nection with the PENNSYLVANIA, the At
lanta and West Point, the Western OF
Alabama, and the Louisville and Nash
vile, as are the other through trains be-
tween New York and New Orleans.
This train will not interfere with either
OF tie three limited trains now operated
by the Southern and the Pennsylvania
between Atlanta and New York, AL
though the new schedule has not been
completed, it is known that the train
will leave New York shortly after 9
O'Clock each morning and reach Atlanta
about III O'Clock in the evening of the
same day. This will enable passenger
TO eat his breakfast in New York and
his supper in Atlanta, something that
has heretofore been unheard of. The
new train will be the fastest train evu
put into service in the South, and its in
anguration will mark an epoch i'm the
business history of this section, as il
will put Atlanta and New York in much
closer connection than they have been
heretofore.
