Nearly Four Hundred People.

The Northwestern special trains
bearing the A. O. U. w. grand lodge
delegates and visitors arrived at Dead
wood and Lead Tuesday, with the
omnipresent Jake Gable in charge.
The grand lodge convened that day in
Lead and is one of the best attended
meetings they have ever had. Lead is
treating their visitors royalty and all
are said to be delighted. Mr.. Gable
wires Agent Sage that most of the
party will arrive at this place some
time during Friday, probably over the
Burlington route. They expect to
spend two or three days here. Some
of the party will no doubt remain
longer, as their tickets are good for
twenty days.

Death of Inspector Smith.

Col. A. j. Smith was found dead in
his berth few days ago in Colorado,
while in transit from the Soldiers
Home in that state to California. He
had been Assistant Inspector of Sol
diers' Homes for several years, and
was on his semi-annual tour in this
work, when stricken down. Col. Smith
was Governor of the National Home at
Leayenworth for thirteen years, trans
ferred from there to the Home in
California where he stayed four years.
He was appointed Assistant Inspector
General at the close of his service with
the California Home. The greater
part of his life since the close of the
war has been spent in Soldiers Home
work. 1t is safe to say he knew more
about it than any other man in the
United States.
He was an eXacting and particular in
spector, martinez on duty but when
off genial and pleasant companion.
When he was known, he was liked.
Col. Smith has been here several times
to inspect the Home, had he lived
would been here about this time again.
His wife is a daughter of Gen. w. B.
Franklin, who died few months ago
at Hartford, Conn. She with her
daughter lives at Syracuse, N. Y, where
the daughter is engaged in raising
pigeons, supplying the markets with
squads"
From the meager information re-
ceived here, it is supposed he died
from heart trouble.

To The Citizens of Hot Springs

wish to meet with the citizens of
Hot Springs at the council chamber on
Friday May 18th, at 4 o'clock p. m., for
the purpose of making suitable ar
rangements for the decoration of the
graves Of the dead soldiers of the civil
war. We judge of the patriotism of a
people by the care they give their
honored dead who offered all man
can, his life, for the cause of liberty
and union. Hot Springs should es-
pecially, at this time, be loyal to our
dead as we have the State Soldiers
Home and will soon have the only
National Sanitarium for the exsoldiers
in the United States.

themselves friend of our town, and if
there is pleasure in greeting anyone,
it is in welcoming our real

are among the hardest working men of

traveller is looked upon by many as
one of ease and pleasure-a veritable
snap-but little familiarity with their
labors will soon cause that notion to
vanish. They must travel at any and
all hours and stop at various kinds of
hotels-sleep and eat as catch can.
Seldom at home-or at home any
where. With all their woes and tribu-
lations we are often puzzled to know
just how it is that as class our COM

Springs people all like 'em-and we
like 'em a little better this week than
we have before, and hope that their
sojourn here will be one of the great

We hope they will feel at home here,
SO much so that they will want to
spend all the time they can here as
they come to and fro in and out of the
Black Hills.
