SIOUX CITY AND SOUTH OMAHA
Business Men Were Well Represented In
Hot Springs Monday.

Hot Springs Monday.
Last Sunday evening the representa-
tives of the Sioux City Commercial
club and Sioux City Stock Yards, to-
gether with the South Omaha Live
Stock Exchange, arrived in Hot Springs
in three Pullman coaches from the
Northern Hills, where they had been
attending Stockman's Association at
Belle Fourche and visiting Deadwood
and Lead. They had been having q
fine time and at the same time had
been ''making medicine" in a business
way, by renewing old acquaintances
and making new friends.
The late hour at which the North
western train arrives from the north
prevented such reception of the party
as would have been fitting, but the fol
lowing committee appointed by the
Commercial club met them informally
Monday morning: Mayor Stewart, l..
S. Gull, W. j. Mcgowan, II. d. Clark,
G. L. Jensen, DR.. G. w. Hargens, F.. b.
Smith, G.. S. Eastman and j. A. Stan
ley, together with other citizens.
A number of the visiting party
had already concluded that they want
ed to visit Wind Cave and they were
fitted out with conveyances. Those
remaining in town we're taken for drives
about the place, taking in the National
Sanitarium location and other attrac
tions. Most of them also visited the
Soldiers Home Mayor Caldwell
"Happy Cal") of Sioux City, was a
guest at dinner of Capt. and Mrs. Lu-
cas-, and regaled his comrades in the
dining room with short after dinner
address, which they heartily enjoyed.
| Among other witty things he said that
he did not go with others of his party
to Wind Cave because he felt little
bit of jealousy over that great windy
cavern-that he now had a pretty good
reputation himself for wind and that
he feared should he go out there the
contrast would be so great he would
feel that he had lost his wind. He
congratulated the "boys" upon their
pleasant Home and surroundings and
was proud that he had in earlier
years taken some part in it's construc-
ton.
The party also enjoyed themselves in
| the plunge and put in the dav very
pleasantly here.
Tuesday morning they went to Rapid
City to attend the meeting of the
Western South Dakota Stockgrowers
Association.
They we're fine representative party
of men and made many friends

ston fell at the head of Hindman's di-
vision trying to force Prentiss out of
the "Hornets Nest" and the victory
they expected did not come. Night
closed the awful scene with the Union
army still defiant and able to hold the
enemy in check. During the early
evening Lew Wallace's division came
up from Crump's Landing and Buell's
army arrived from the opposite side of
the river, crossed over and took up
position so that Monday morning Grant
was able to hurl upon Beauregard a
reinforced and fresh army and drive
back to Corinth the disappointed and
chagrined army of the West. Not
man who was in the battle Sunday be-
lieves the rebels could have defeated
Grant on Monday, if Buell. had not
come up as he did. Had Wallace been
on the field Sunday by 10 O'clock, as he
should have been, the Union army
would not have lost an inch of ground.
Wallace belonged to Grants army and
was expected to take position in the
line by 10 o'clock, as he had but five or
six miles to march on a good road.
But he fritted away the whole day
marching up the south side of Owl
creek, not being able to cross, as he
says he expected, marched down the
creek and at 5 O'clock in the evening
was where he started from in the morn
ing. He halted his 5000 men, made
coffee and afterwards leisurely came
up the river road, reaching the field at
8 or 10 o'clock where he should have
been at the same hour in the morning.
Now that over 40 years have gone by
men dispassionately discuss the events
of the day, day that they will never
forget.
DIR. Morris will conduct the service
at the Soldiers Home Sunday after
noon, and give patriotic address on
"The Signs of the Times" There will
be special music by the choir, and solo
by Mr.. Wood.

MAYOR KERN EXPLAINS ACTION.
Statement From the Chief Executive
of BeIleviIle, Illinois.

In answers to criticisms of his
action in not using more forcible
means to dispense the mob which
lynched the negro, Wyatt, at Belle
vile, H., on the night of June 6, Mayor
Kern said:
ut is true that l requested the Off
GERS not to use their guns. | did so
after careful reflection | was con-
WINGED in my judgment that to do so
would not stop the citizens in their
determination to get Wyatt, but that
such course simply would fan the
flame of their insane fury. | was con
WINGED that to do so would precipi-
tate a battle. l was convinced that
many citizens would be killed or
manned in the encounter.
Il did not want to see innocent
blood flow on account of the guilty
wretch in the Jail. He was not worth
the sacrifice which would have fol-
lowed and which would have been
simply awful to contemplate in its
fearful scope.
"The officers did their full duty.
They arrested the assassin. They
locked him up in one of the strongest
and most modern Jails in this or any
other country. They exhausted their
possibilities in defending the prison
err They could not be asked to kill
and lay down their own lives to save
a murderer. The men actually on the
ground we're the best judges of the
critical situation.
"You ask me who is to blame for
the lynching. The negro, Wyatt, who
came into this community armed and
with murder in his craven heart is to
blame for it. The negro, Wyatt, who
tried to murder the county superin-
tendent of schools is to blame for it
first and last.
81 don't approve of mob law. | do
not wish to be understood to condone
the offense of the mob. But there
was a reason for the fury which
burst forth. Murders have been too
frequent in our county of late. Too

crimes. A vicious negro, the Rev.
