Ned Strong had held the record for
hammer-throwing at his university,
and had been candidate for the next

forced to put it all behind him and turn
his attention to sterner realities, in
cluding exorbitant bills presented by
the specialists employed to relieve his
sister,.
For two years she had suffered with
an affection Of the knee which even
the most eminent surgeons had been
unable to name. For some weeks now
she had been fastened in a brace which
gave comparative relief and permitted
her to sit up in bed. And with the
cessation from suffering came renewed
eagerness to hear of the beautiful out

Last Monday he was about to take a
bath at the Siloam spring; had gotten
his shoes off and then went out upon
the porch, sat down in chair and ex-
pired. A coroner's inquest was held
and the above facts developed and a
verdict made to that effect. Deceased

relatives in this country. He had
about s65 in cash and we understand
had some property at Wakonda. The

A LEADING INDUSTRY
Tho Hot Springs Plaster Company Maxi
ing II Plaster That Gives Fame
to Itself and the Town.

The manufacture of stucco was COM
menced at Hot Springs in 1891 by Fred
T. Evans, whose keene foresight never
allowed good thing like this to
escape his notice. He was succeeded
by j. L. Baker, who made the product
famous and operated the plant for
about four years. The present capaci-
ty of the industry is two carloads per
day, and they employ ten men. By
taking advantage of the work and using
first class and up to. date machinery it
is really wonderful the amount of work
that can be accomplished. Their pro-
duct finds market as far west as Port
land, Oregon, and as far east as they
have goods to supply.
The present manager, Mr.. Charles p.
Brelsford, is young man full of push
and energy, just the kind to take with
western business men. He proposes to
make the enterprise credit to the
city and a monument to himself. The
supply of high grade gypsum from
which their plaster is made is very
large-in fact one might be pardoned
in saying it is ineXhaustable.
Mr.. Brelsford is very happy in hav-
ing secured the contract to supply the
plaster for the National Sanitarium,
now in course of construction here,
and in the face OF the strongest kind
of competition from the largest and
oldest producers in the United States.
The output of the Hot Springs Plaster
Co. consists of hard wall plaster, tibred
hard wall, crystal finish, stucco, dental
and potters' plaster. They take the
lead wherever introduced.
The people of Hot Springs as a rule
have hnt little conception of the mag
nitude and Importance of this quiet
and unassuming business, that is
pounding away every day converting
this deposit of nature into merchant
able and valuable products, bringing a
constant stream of wealth to it's own
ers and continually advertising the
town-bringing it into notice and favor
by, the high grade of goods that are
talking for themselves and the town
everywhere.

Adjourned to Friday.

At time of going to press, Thursday
evening, no nomination has been made
by the democrats at ST. Louis. The
Smith faction of South Dakota tried
to have the Pettigrew faction unseated
because of Pettigrew's alleged threat
to bolt if Parker was nominated, but
was not successful. The indications
are favorable to the nomination of
Parker. Convention adjourned to Fri.

AGreat Birthday Surprise.

Last Friday afternoon Archie Rior-
dan had the greatest birthday surprise
of his life. A number of friends gath
cred under the beautiful pine trees
on the hill near the water reservoir
and it was left for George Thorpe to
somehow get Archie there without his
finding out the purpose. So George
hurried into the bottling works office
all out of breath and said that John
Parks wanted him to come up to the
reservoir quick, that he was afraid a
man had fallen in. Archie and George
lost no time in climbing the hill. 1t
was warm, and before long the men
we're almost breathless, Archie remark
ing that he wouldn't be worth cent to
help get the man out after he got
there. When they had about reached
the place the crowd that received
Archie almost paralyzed him, and he
actually wasn't worth much for a
while, They had an elegant picnic
dinner and Archie says his 43rd birth
day was the happiest one he's had.
