tume. Becoming greatly provoked the lady
procured a property pistol , and loading it
with soap and blank cartridge let lly at the
skulkers. The load took effect in the person
of a young blood mimed Tool , whoso clothing
and -flesh were filled with soap , causing him
to run away howling with pain and mortifica
tion. The young fellow , in order to got oven ,
had the lady arrested and brought to this city
for trial before Justice Horn. When the Jus
tice heard the evidence in the case he immedi
ately dismissed it , using some very strong

service. The young man is not seriously in

HOT Si'iiixoss S. D. , .Tnno 17. ( Special
toTnii BIK. : ] The members of the U. St M.
special newspaper excursion took a fourteen-
mile coach drlvo over the mountains yester
day In order to Inspect the famous hot springs
of this region. The town of Hot Springs
lies at the bottom of a canyon , surrounded on
each side by steep and precipitous hills. The
scenery on entering this canyon Is magnifi
cent. Overhanging crags Of rt concrete-like
formation threaten to fall ut the
slightest jar. . This composition stone
consists of largo pebbles and other
rock llrmly cemented together as if
by volcanic action. On the mountain sides
the bright red gypsum soil frequently craps
out , lending color to the view. Along the
side of the canon runs n stream clear as crys
tal , rippling over its stony bed. This Is Fall
river , which gives its name to the county of
which Hot Springs is the county seat.
The town itself comprises about one thous
and inhabitants and Is built mainly of wood.
The line of building extends over n long nar
row strip of hind almost to the bend of the
canyon , yet the area Is increasing , as quite a
number of residences are being built -upon the
plateau above. Some of these nro of sand
stone , of which a fine quality is found in the
immediate neighborhood. There are several
varieties. Some of It has a bright red color ,
presumably from the gypsum Incorporated In
it. Again it is n light pint , such as Is used
lu the GUlcsple ; at other points It assumes a
white or creamy yellow huo. '
Several public buildings are under con
struction. The Soldiers' homo for South Da
kota has been located nt Hot Springs and is
now Hearing completion. It is a bandsomo
white sandstone structure surmounting the
crest of a hill , presents a massive style and
consists of four stories , ( be last- having a
mansard roof. Not far1 from this is tlio Meth
odist college for the Black Hills country. It
Is a neat , square building consisting of a
white sandstone superstructure resting upon
a creamy base of the sama material. It Is
three stories in height and will bo opuu next
fall for the reception of students of both sexes.
The stone Is cut iu rectangular blocks With a
rough face finish. This college 1ms boon endowed
dewed with a large tract of land , a part of
whijh has been sold In order to furnish the
money for running expenses.
Hot Springs has not yet been developed
iu many blanches of industry , but one of itw
interesting features is Its stucco factory.
This is manufactured from the white gypsum
which lies upon the hills toward tlio north.
It is visible at some distance , giving the ap-
pcaranco of snow. From these beds the
pieces arc gathered for transportation to tlio
works in the town. No brick whatever is
made in Hot Springs , that material being
used for chimneys only. Brick is much
more expcnsivo than 'stone on account of the
great distance from which it must bo
brought.
Northeast of these gypsum beds rises a
huge mountain to which the inhabitants us-
cribo a bit of Indian history. It is said that
long before the white man set his foot within
these valleys the medicinal properties of the
springs were recognized by the Indians , and
these lands were ttie highly prized terri
tory of the Cheycnnes. But soon the Sioux
came into power and ye.irned for the waters
which were able to cure all their diseases
and so they marched against their brethren. '
Ono party climbed up one side of
this hill , the other passed up the
opposite side , and then they met
on the top of the mountain and fought long
and liorcely for tlio possession of the sur
rounding territory. Ilcnco to this day the
place is called Battle mountain. The "Sioux
were victorious. All this is said to have
happened nearly tifty years ago , although it
is claimed that the ruins of u stockade may
still bo seen upon the summit.
Ou every side of Battle mountain the hills
and buttes rise to a considerable heipht. Hot
springs proposes to celebrate Independence
day iu a novel manner and so
have erected stands upon two
lofty buttes , situated ouo upon each
and of the canon. These are
to servo the speakers in the day time , but at
night the inhabitants intend to illuminate
the whole ravine by a tremendous display of
fireworks.
Yet it is the springs and mjneitd waters
which have made Hot.Springs attractive. Be
sides tlie famous hot springs , the water is in
some places tinged with the taste of sulphur
and of salt , but the former nro ill greater
abundance. They are found all along ono
side of the ravine and the same water is ob
tained from wells sunk in the plateau upon
that side of the canon. The temperature varies
from lukewarm to ! )0 ) oc Oli degrees , The main
springs discharge finally into Full river.
This river is formed by tliM junction of two
small streams which unite after Mowing about
two sides of the same mountain. The ono to
the right is called Cold creek , that to the left
Hot creek. These names are appropriately
applied , for the water of ono is entirely cold ,
and the springs of the other well forth warm
water. This can only be explained by the
theory of volcanic action.
Where the water discharge is sufficient for
bathing purposes bath houses have been built
and furnished with individual marble tubs.
Those who undergo treatment usuullv take a
dally bath iu this water , besides imbibing a
a huge quantity of it internally. On ono
bank of Hot creek s large plunge bath has
been constructed. The basin iii rectangular ,
extending a distance of eighty Ivot and vary
ing in depth from six to four feet. The bottom
tom of deposited pebbles can bo seen dis
tinctly through thowitor. Horn thatemper-
aturo almost reaches blood heat.
Quito a number of ] > eopli > fronr nil parts of
the country como to Hot Springs to reap tlio
benefit of its situation. It is
becoming not only n summer but
also n winter resort , ' 'Inasmuch
as the city , surrounded on all sides by high
mountains , docs not suiter from as. great colder
or snows us is usual in other purls of South
Dakota. With the advent of the Elkhorn
railroad access to tlio town will bo much
easier. Besides this the Deadwood branch
of the Burlington line runs within ten miles
of Hot Springs and a spur line to this place
is in contemplation.
Hot Springs seems to be quite a resort for
Omaha people. Among these which the
hotel registers show to have l > eon how thus
far during Juno are : At the Gtllespio , W.

TAKEN IN BY QUACKS.
Several People Mourn the Disappear
ance of "Drs. " French and Miller.
There are several hundred people in Omaha
filled with grief over the thought of having
been taken In by a pair of smooth schemers.
About three weeks ago two men , one tall , the
other short and fat , came to Omaha , secured
rooms on Douglas street , advertised them
selves quite liberally and commenced treating
people atllicted with catarrh and other chronic
diseases.
Last Tuesday they disappeared , and since
then no ouo has been able to ascertain what
became of them. Their scheme worked well ,
probably three hundred , principally poor and
easily gulled persons , being taken in , and
they got away with something like . ' ,000. ,
The treatment consisted of free examina
tions , a charge of iO cash in advance for
medicine and profuse promises of sure euros ,
threo.mouths' doctoring without anything
extra , and many other tulugs that an honust
physician would not think of doing.
The long one called himself Dr. French ,
nud the short ono wont under the nnino of
Dr. Miller. Where they came from is a mys
tery. .Shortly . before their arrival in Omaha
n gang of traveling quacks was run out of
St. Louis , and it is supposed that they be
longed to it. While hero two or three strang
ers with whom they seemed to bo on intimate
terms , and whom they addressed as doctors ,
visited and were with them a day or two ut a
timo.
timo.Dr.
Dr. French loft last Sunday on the proten-
tion that ho had been summoned to some
town not far away to perform a very difficult
and dangerous surgical operation. The other
one left Tuesday evening.
Yesterday about fifty of the victims called
to see them , and upon learning that they bad
gone were very much disappointed.

*
Taken to KsUibllsh One In Tills

There was an Important meeting held nt
the First Methodist church last night , the ob
ject of which was to listen to a lecture by
Mrs. L. Hydor Myer upon the advisability
Of building a rMothodlst dcaconness hospital
in this city. Tlio largo reception room of the
church was comfortably filled , and at tlio
close of the meeting It was unanimously de
cided ttn at once begin the work of establish
ing such an institution.
The plan outlined by the speaker was to
conduct the work under the auspices of the
Methodist Episcopal church , establish u tem
porary hospital , and us soon us the ends would
justify purchase grounds and erect u build
ing.
ing.This movement has boon discussed by the
church for several months , but until now the
movers have never arrived at any fixed con
clusion. The idea now is to have the hospi
tal ready to receive patients as early us tno
first of October. It will bo a general hospi
tal , open to all creeds and will lx > supported
by the church , though there will l > o pay
wards for these who are able to pay.
The care of the sick will bo under the su
pervision of a number of trained nurses from
the dcaconness schools of the cast.

lown the mountains. On account of heavy
rains thu track was very slippery last
light and when a twelve-car coal train started
lowu the mountain it got beyond

ill brakes set. The speed quickened
until a tremendous rate was reached ,
vhcu suddenly the rails spread and the cn-
.iro outfit plunged headlong down the mount-

by tlio sonnto 'of the bill providing for the
free coinage of silver had no olTeOt on tlui
stock market nud excited no Inlluonco on
Wall street except among dealers In silver
million , who regarded It with complaisance
The opinions of bunkers nud brokers as to 1U
nltlinnto offeet were very diverse , but the gen
eral Impression is that It means n wild inllat iou
of the currency and ttn advance In every coin-
inunlty dealt In. Knssoll Sage and otlteri.i \ -
nlo as prominent suy that they look on the
bill with apprehension and fear ill effects will
follow Its passage. Some bankers said tlio
adoption of u free coinage measure would
bring disaster and work a great Injury. The
effect of these unfavorable ) opinions put ,
n damper on the little biwiu that started Just
after tlio opening and believers in an ndviiueo
decided to rofrnln from any active move
ment nntil the passage of the bill through
both houses was an assured fact.
Ilussell Sago says : "I look with npprohen-
slou on the .action of the senate In the passage
of the five coinage hill. If the law .should
over become operative It would create such
an Inflation that u punie Would bo sure to fol
low. I believe the ill effects of the law will
be felt immediately on Its passage , because
European holders of our securities would be
almost certain to throw their holdings on our
market , nt least all soouritles-not payable In

John H. Ininan said : "It looks to me like
hart . Tno effect bo in-- "

dropped , but the dual wind up will almost
certainly bo disastrous , "
I ) . F. Doshny of Zimmerman .t Doslmy ,

free coinage bill with great complaisance.
"Tho trouble is , " ho said , "tho house may

of Major Kimhall , chief quarter muster of the

H. Weeks , chief ( lunrlcrmastor of the de
partment of Texas , a member of the court
testified that it was customary for and tlio
duty of the local quartermaster to provide
quarters for the disbursing ofllcors of his sta
tion , aiid the coursu followed by Major Kimball -
ball in the execution of leases was identical
with that pursued by bin' .
Major Kimball then submitted letters from
Major General Nelson , A. Miles , Sun l-'ran-
cisco , and Brigadier General Grioi'soH , Los
Angeles , to the Adjutant general of the army
at Washington. General Gricrson states that
in his judgment Major Kimball has not been
guilty of any negligence Justifying his trial
by court-martial , and ho requests that tlio
order for his trial be suspended , and that the
charges against Major Kimball bo investi
gated by some disinterested olllcer.
General Miles invites the attention of the
adjutant general to papers recently forwarded
to Washington showing the details of the
renting of otllccs at Tucson. General Milw-
also sets forth the nature of General Klin
ball's ' complaint , and calls attention to tin )
fact that Major Kimball was ordered to
Arizona when a turriblo Indian war was
in progress and discharged Ids duties
with marked ability and strict fidelity.
Ho recommends that , if his explanation is
satisfactory , the secretary of war direct
that further action In Major ICimball's ' cabo
