of yellow hair made merry times for the people who had crowded the streets to witness the parade His language brogue was as near perfect as the ac tual Swede himself while his ready replies and innocent bearing would do credit to an Irish comedian Our town continues to be the cen ter of attraction for a great many stockmen who buy large amounts of supplies to take out to their respect ive ranches and our hotels which are numerous all seem to thrive though many people wonder where so many people come from Stockmen often meet with one another here that they would have to go twice the distance to find at their respective ranches and by thus making the trip to this city they kill two birds with one stone Mr J M Brelsford of the Hot Springs Plaster Compan passed through here last Saturday and ap pointed D S Ludwig exclusive ajrent for the celebrated Hot Springs plas ter It is manufactured by the same mill and is taken from the same quar ry that Mr Baker ran some three years
