GAVE GOOD SHOW.
Yankee Robinson Shows Were Well
Patronized Last THURSDAY.

A large crowd was in the city last
Thursday to witness the performance
of the Yankee Robinson Shows which
exhibited in lower town on that date.
The street parade was pulled off on
schedule time-l230 p. m.-and was
fine for the size of the show. The
usual number of cages containing
lions, tigers, etc, with q bunch of jolly
clowns were in line. Three good sized
elephants, camel and one of those

horses in the parade caused many

having failed to account to her for
moneys left In his hands which had
belonged to her late husband. She had
requested him to vaoate the law offices
and then she served notice on him but
he did not get out. Friday she again
asked him to vacate and during their
conversation Mrs. Mcmahon got CON
siderably worked up. Saturday morn
ing at eight O'Clock she went to his
office with 80 Colts revolver concealed
in the folds of her apron.
William Curper was an eve witness
to the tragedy, and he says she told
him he must get out, and then shot
him in the eye without giving him a
chance to say or do anything. A
coroner's inquest was held Saturday
afternoon in which it was brought out
that Mrs. Mcmahon made several at
tempts to borrow q revolver the day
before and that Saturday morning She
went to Thomas office, accompanied
by friend, with the ayoWed intantion
OF doing just what she did do. 1t is
also reported that Thomas made a
motion as though about to pull a gun.
Public opinion is divided in the matter,
some saying it is a case of deliberate
murder, and others declaring that the
woman had been SO exasperated by the
actions of Mr.. Thomas, that she was
suffering from an attack of emotional
insanity or brain storm.
Mrs. Mcmahon was formerly the wife
of the late G.. B. MCPHERSON. She is in
custody.
Davis P. Thomas formerly lived in
Rapid City and came into the limelight

declare that any man who makes a
statement like that has been misin-
formed. 1t has been thru no fault of
the business men and management
that Hot Springs hasn't team but
rate or some other unforeseen power has
been at work since the opening of the
season and it has been question at
all times. We do not wish to take
any credit from the Ardmore team who
played here on the above days but tie
two exhibitions we're about the poorest
ever. The first was nearly a shutout,
nine to one and the second game on
MoncaJ, twelve to six, nine of the
visitors scores coming in the second
inning. Ii Ardmore could take two
games With a SCORE such as stated what
would the Lead teams total score
have been had they put in an appear
ance Saturday and Sundays In case
you are not good in mathematics we
will give close estimate, about one
hundred to nothing. AS was stated i'm
the beginning it is not the wish of this
paper to criticize the management of
the ball club for it is self evident
fact that they have been imposed upon.
How any man or group of men could
put up the exhibitions such as they
have been doing and then take money
for it seems shame. Enough money
ls being paid in salaries to have first
class team. Some of the men can play
ball. They do part of the time but
then that is generally when another
member is having an off day.
Granting the fact that suoh towns
as Ardmore, Oelrichs, Crawford and
Rapid City have good teams, Hot
Springs should have good team also.
Any team is bound to lose occasionally.
but when it gets to be habit and the
only teams they can defeat are the
very weakest, it is time something was
done. Business people who are help.
Ing to support the club and others who
witness these games dislike to be
humiliated by visiting fans and play
ers when the home team plays listless
ball and their actions Indicate that it
is immaterial whether they win or lose.
This paper has always boosted the
ball team, in fact anything that adver-
t.ses or helps Hot Springs in any way
and let us state further that we will
continue to do SO, but we wish also to
state that we are conscientious when
we say that Hot Springs ball team as
it stands would be no boost or adver-
tisement for any town.

FIRE AT CHADRoN.
Northwestern Loses Heavily By Fire
at Chadron, Tuesday Night.

Fire Tuesday night at Chadron des-
troyed the Chicago g. Northwestern
round house and freight depot.
How the fire started Is not known
but it gained such headway in a short
time that it was impossible to save the
greater part of the engines in the
round house. Fifteen locomotives
were destroyed, besides large amount
of railroad material that was stored in
the roundhouse and nearby.
The flames soon spread to the large
frame freight house and it was quickly
enveloped in flames. The volunteer
tire department fought bravely to stop
the flames in their course of destruo.
ton but could do but little toward
checking the fire. The books of the
company stored in the freight house
were mostly saved though several cases
of old files of valuable papers were
burned.
1t was feared for while that the
fire would spread to the eastern portion
OF the town and the lack of strong
wind was the only salvation for that
part of Chadron. People got on the
roofs of their houses and poured water
on the burning embers that aliehted
on the roofs of their dwellings,, thus
saving their homes.
The loss of fifteen. engines at this
time falls heavily on the railroad as
all the engines that could be secured
are necessary now for use in the trans.
portation of live stock from Wyoming
and South Dakota points to the South
Omaha market. The loss of the engines
will greatly hamper the freight service
and it will be some time before sufficient
engines can be secured to properly
care for the freight service.
The loss is estimated to be 100000.
Only two engines we're saved.

OPENS CAMPAIGN.
Hon. c. L. Wood Spoke to Big Audience
at Hot Springs Tuesday Evening.

Hon. G. L. Wood, Of Rapid City,
candidate on the Democratic ticket
for the Office Of governor, spoke to a
large audience at the New Opera House,
Tuesday evening. Mr.. Wood is a very
good speaker and of course, like most
candidates. had proof that under an
administration presided over by him
as chief executive of this great state
the South Dakota people would fare
much better than in previous years
He spoke chiefly on state issues and
pointed out the extravaganza of a few
of the late administrations as we'll as a
few laws that are conceded by every
one to be rather rank passed by some
of these same administrations. Beyond
doubt, Mr.. Wood would make a good
governor but whether he will be able
to overcome the present republican
majority is matter that cannot be
settled until after the Novem Der
election.

FAIR ELECTIONS.

The Republican press of the State,
headed by the Globe-Democrat, are
SO ]persistently declaring that we are
to have fair elections this fall that
suspicion is naturally raised in the
minds of the voters that they are pre-
pairing to use very unfair methods,
otherwise why do the leaders find it
necessary to send out this kind of
stuff from the State Capitol? Of
course, the old methods employed by
that party when in power in this
State, following the war, gives cause
for some apprehension to timid souls,
and for that reason, possibly, Repub-
lican leaders feel that they owe it to
the voters to send out these assur-
ances of fair elections; but to those
acquainted with the Hadley-Dickey
Company's methods, those assur-
ances, without apparent reason, are
ominous. Democrats will be on guard
to see that the elections are conducted
fairly, Notwithstanding all their Peck
sniffion assurances to allay suspicion.

Does It Sound Good to You.

If you are fond of buttermilk you
will certainly like buttermilk ice
cream and after eating it several
times you will consider the sweet
kind flat and tasteless. The butter
milk is sweetened with sugar and fla
vored with vanilla or other desirable
flavoring as in the making Of any ice
cream and frozen.
The buttermilk must be fresh and
of a mild acid and if there is too
much acid you can use some sweet
skim milk to modify it to your taste.
If you like rich ice cream put as
much sweet cream in as you wish
before freezing. But plain fresh
buttermilk sweetened and favored
with four fresh raw eggs well beaten
added to the gallon makes mos
wholesome and delicious ice cream

WISE OLD WARNER.

Senator William Warner is a sly
old chap, and II is pretty hard to catch
him on a pin.hook. no matter how ar
tistically baited, during the fishing
season when the political Isaak Wal
tons are out for game. No one knows
better than Warner that his ac-
cession to the senatorial toga was an
accident, not scheduled on the boards.
He has enjoyed to the fullest his good
luck, and realizes that lightning is not
likely to strike twice. in the same
place. The empty honor of nomi-
nation is not enticing to him since he
has RECALLED himself on the real fruit
for six years. II doesn't require any
vast amount of acumen to know that
the next United States Senator from
Missouri will be DemOcrat-eithel
Francis or Reed-so the astute War
ner has side-stepped the righteousness
of a campaign for the Republican
nomination, and pleads i'll health. Nc
one believes that Warner would give
up his chances to be returned to the
Senate if he thought his party hac
even a remote chance of electing the
next legislature. So he is perfectly
willing that some other Republican
shall have the shadow, since he has
enjoyed the substance. Wise ole

to cut his head off with rust pocket
knife at the Lees Summit fair
grounds Tuesday morning. When
finally restrained his windpipe had
been almost severed and one of the
large veins in the neck was cut near
ly in two.
Mr.. Hartwell, known as ''Pace,

several race horses. Monday night
he threatened he would kill himself.
Little attention was paid to his threats.
Hartwell and the other horseman
slept in the stalls at the fair grounds.

plying stall next to Hartwell's heard
a peculiar gurgling sound and groans
coming from his neighbours quarters.
Rushing in he found Hartwell saving
on his neck with a rusty knife. He
took the weapon from Hartwell, who
was too weak to resist.
A physician was summoned and
the wounded man was taken to his
offices. An attempt was made to
sew up the injured mans windpipe
and tie the partly severed vein.
