NOTES ABOUT
HOT SPRINGS
THE SPRINGS OWNED BY THE
UNITED STATES
Tke Physicians Have Liitlc Hope
of Curing Miss Kale
Gibson.
Hot springs, Ark., May 27th
Two and hall' weeks ago I left
Bcnnettsvillo for Hot Springs the
famous natural health resort and
sanitarium of thc world. Many
spouts and hold springs gushing
from the depth of east mountain
of 117 degrees, so hot that it has
to bo cooled before using, either
for drinking or bathing. We all
drink the Mot springs, hot water
cooled, and you can drink all you
cm without inconvenience or clan-1
ger perfectly harmless. The city j
contains '20,000 people with 150,000
visitors annually. Should the
supply of hot water cease or thc
How stop, Hot Springs would be
as "dead as Cassar; for tho tour
ists and visitors furnish life and
substance to the city, and it is the
celebrated curative hot water that
attracts people herc. This is a
: lovely place, situated between the
mountains in a valley, the govern
ment owning the mountains and
all the water, which is dispersed
by "Uncle Sam1', through a super
intendent, who has an oflice on thc
government reservation. The
government charges $00.00 per
tub annually, and there aro about
SOO tubs in thc different bath
houses, and hotels ami sanitari
ums, wkich furnishes a revenue
amounting to 848,000.00 yearly.
These .SOO tubs consume about tho
entire supply, with thc vario
freo spouts and springs on the
walks. The U. S. army and i
i.:t?i :,. i-n u,n -
lilti. ??V. V....V-W, - .-. ,
and many bath houses. I
and lodging can be secured
from $50.0 to 860.00 per
baths are sold in courses of '21 at
from So to $10 per course. Tho
a person can make it cost him just
in propotion to his ability to pay.
The last session of the legislature
I passed a bill prohibiting any one
I from drumming for any boarding
I house, physicians, or bath house,
i Before this law was enacted nu
merous hired drummers for phy
sicians and boarding houses would
daily moot trains at Little Kock
and Memphis and would make all
kinds of misrepresentations in or
der to secure the sick persons for
I their doctor and hotel and etc. But
j now no ono speaks to you anti you
are left entirely to arrange for
yourself, unless you ask and seek
information.
?
The state fair is now held here,
Messrs Dargan and Stewart, of
Chicago, tho noted jockeys and
race horse owners, built tho race
track and equipped it two miles
south of tho city, and during the
racing season, for months, had fast
horses from ICuropo ami all over
the U Son the track, and won thou
sands of dollars, but tho state leg
islature passed a law prohibiting
horse racing for money, in the
state of Arkansas, which broke it
up. The owners then tendered
the race track, which cost
them half million dollars, to the
state fair association, arid the fair
was moved from Little Kock to
1 lot Springs.
There are many bars and saloons
here, and strange to say I have not
seen a drunk man since I came,
although I see in the daily papers,
almost every moring or afternoon,
where some one or more, have
been lined for bring drunk and
disorderly. ? have not been on
streets at night, and know nothing
of the conduct after dark, there
are. only two policeman on duty in
day time, and four at night. But
this is a wide open city on Sunday.

after thoroughly examining my

candidly told me that by email -

might benefit her. They afc giv

costing her heavily on account of
the trained nurses and extia atten

the street from the Sanitorium,
where it is much cheaper. I am
doing some newspaper work, while
here to defray expenses. My
daughter is delighted with the bnt

are on sale here, "Hot Springs

WIFE FOUND
DEAD IN BED
HUSBAND RETURNING FROM
NIGHT'S WORK.
Mrs Jesse Webster Died While
Mr Webster Watched ?vt thc
Oil Mill.
Last Saturday morning when
Jesse Webster returned homo
from his duties as night watchman
at the oil mill, lie found his wife
lying dead on the bed. Their live
weeks old baby was with ber in
the bed, and a larger child was on
the llooi\ crying. Mrs. Webster's
ann and leg were partly off the
bed and her mouth and eyes were
wide open, as if she had endured
great SU Hering before the end
came.
On Friday Mrs. Webster did
some, washing and ironing and
complained of being very tired at
supper time. She ato (piite heart

and broad. After supper Mr.

he spends each night as watchman.
When he returned home at the
usual time in tho morning, he
found hts wife dead.
Coroner McCall and Dr. May
made an examination of the body,
but did not think it necessary to

ion was that she died of heart fail
ure, caused by acute indigestion.
Their home was in West Bon

oil mill, where the husband spent
the nighton his lonely watch, little

P. A. H?GES
IN THE LEAD
CHANCES FOR. HIS ElgCTION
ARE VERY BRIGHT.
From All Parts of the District
Good Reports are Pouria^
In To Him.
Hon P A I lodges, Marlboro
county's candidato lor congress
from the sixth district, is very
much encouraged over the outlook
for his chances for success at the
primary. He has been out of the
district for the most part in other
sections of the state in the inter
est of Columbia college. Hut his
friends are wide awake. From all
parts of the district friends have
been writing to him offering him
then* support and talking enthusi
astically of the reception with
which his candidacy is being mot
with the voters.
Mr Hodges is peculiarly quali
fied to till the position of repre
sentative from the sixth district.
He is a broad man, well versed in
tho needs of the people today. He
is thoroughly a type of the pres
cut day southerner, a southerner
who is forging to the front. Rev
erencing all the priciplcs and ideals
for which the men of the south of
the past generation fought he is
also a leader of the south.
The time is coming when the
south is one more getting tho rec
ognition which has not been ac
corded them since the days of the
civil war. They are a mighty fac
tor in the affairs of the nation and
stand on the threshold of new and
greater things, The south is just
awakening to the possibilities
which are theirs in the national af*
fairs and in the government cir
cles and it behoves the voters to
cess at the polls in November and
the south will in this event furnish
the greater proportion of the lead
ers of the nation for the next four
years.
Marlboro will stand to their
man. In many other parts of the
district he will poll a tremendous
vote and the outlook now is that
it will bi? Congressman Hodges al
tera few months. Here's success
to his candidacy.
