HOT SPRINGS WANTS PRESBYTERIAN
HOSPITAL and WILL WORK FOR
ITS LOCATION HERE.

Monday the committee appointed at
the recent banquet given the Presby
terlan Synod Hospital Committee made
hurried call on the business men and
property owners of the city, at least as
many of them as they could see in the

OF the tri- state hospital in this city

at the time of their visit here we're
very much impressed with Hot Springs
as place in which to locate this insti-
tuition which will cost primarily over

reason to believe that the Synod as a
body will act favorably on the Hot

CIRCUS DREW
BIG CROWD
AL G. BARNES WILD ANIMAL
SHOW HERE TUESDAY.
EXCEPTIO NALLY GOOD
PRONOUNCED THE BEST CIRCUS THAT
HAS EVER VISITED THE BLACK
HILLS In YEARS.

Tho AL. g. Barnes three ring wild
animal circus exhibited in Hot Springs,
Tuesday afternoon, one performance
only, and considering the fact that on
ly three days billing Was the extent of
the notice given the people, they drew
a big crowd. The "big top" WAS crowd
ed at the beginning of the performance
which was one of exceptional merit
The fact of their exhibiting here was
due to the quarantine of horses in Ne.
braska and Kansas and not to their
schedule routing In their seasons
showing they only exhibit at the larger
above cancelled dates at Kansas City,
st. Joseph and Omaha.
The performance is on the order of
the famous Hagenback's circus and at
present outrivals that show. At the
two end rings, horses, dogs, ponies
goats, elephants, etc, perform wonder
full feats but the ring on which all eyes
we're focused most of the time was the
one in the center in which the lions,
tigers, leopards, bears and seals we're
shown. This ring was inolosed with
high steel bars for the protection of
the audience. AS may be supposed,
some of the beasts did not take kindly
to doing their little stunts and the cool
nerve and daring of their respective
trainers in finally bringing them into
sutjaotion caused some thrills aud
much applause from an appreciative
audience.
All of the sets were good but one
which WAS of especial merit came near
the end of the performance when one
OF the trainers entered the ring with
thirteen large male and female lions
and caused them to do his bidding.
The performing sea lions WAS also one
of the features Of the show
Due to the fact that they we're sche-
duled to appear in Cheyenne Wednes-
day, as soon as possible after the per.

to the Buffalo Gap Fair, came over in a
body. Four coaches all loaded to the
guards, arrived shortly before noon
and helped swell the already large
crowd. The football game between
Hot Springs and Custer was won by
the former. The tug-of-war between
Custer and Fall River counties was
won by Custer county, but after due
deliberation the judges gave the de-
cision to Fall River on foul, it being
claimed that an Innocent bystandsr AS
sisted the Custer county boys at the
critical point The wrestling match

Buffalo Gap was proceeded by m Itch

DOUBTLESS passed to allow as many as
possible of employees of postotflces a
complete day of rest on Sunday, it is
the desire of the department to enforce
the law with the least possible en-
barassment to the public, and that if it
is necessary to open the office Oh Sun
day to receive and dispatch mail, aud
to distribute transit mail, there seems
to be no reason why mail might not be
distributed to boxes. Such is the sub.
stance of letter to Postmaster Stan
ley from the Postotiice Department. in
reply to an inquiry regarding the dis
tributlon into boxes. Stanley says that
so long as it WAS necessary to sort all
the mail to separate it for the newspa-
pers. news agents and hotel guests
that it would require but little more
time to distribute it into boxes for all
box renters, which had to be done any
way that evening or very early Monday
morning.
Therefore since this permission has
been granted the mail will be distrbut.
ed into the boxes Sunday and those
who rent boxes may thus obtain mail
on that day, The force of clerks will
alternate the work ON Sundays, SO that
one force will have complete day off
every other Sunday. This will, of
course, require much longer time for
the distribution of the mails on Sun
days than other days. but it will all
probably be distributed by IL O'Clock
(Ioon) when the trains are on time,
and those who have boxes may be able
to get their mail after IL o'clock.
There will be no delivery through the
general delivery or carriers windows,
and it will be necessary for those who
desire to receive their mail on Sundays
to reut boxes for that purpose The
windows will not be open for renting
boxes on Sunday SO that those who de-
sire should rent boxes before then.
