HOT SPRINGS, ABE/ EINAR H01DALE WRITES OP THIS GREAT HEALTH RESORT. EDITORS OF THE NATION MEET HERE. GRAPHIC ACCOUNT OF THIS WONDERFUL NATURAL PHENOMENON. EDITOR REVIEW:— Complying with your request for a trip "write-up" of my recent tour with the National Editorial Association into the Southern States, I submit^a few ob servations which may be of interest to your readers. The Association members left St. Louis on Monday, April 14th en route to Hot Springs where their annual meeting was held. "We went in a splen did special tram, fitted out by the Mis souri Pacific and over its loadbed we invaded the democratic state of Arkan sas reaching Hot Springs, the Carlsbad of America, in the morning of the next day. The Missouri Pacific railway peo ple treated us with much kindness and courtesy, as we know they do all who travel on their trains. The writer takes pleasure in recommending the ro«d to those who travsl into the southwest. But it is of the wonderful things learned at Hot Springs that the writer wishes more particularly to speak As a resort and cure for the sick Hot Springs is at its best in the summer and early fall. Many think it is exceedingly hot at this season, but such is not the case. During the hottest weathei of summer the temperature rarely reaches 95 Fahrenheit, and every night during the entire summer it is cool enough to sleep under cover. The waters have abetter effect in sum mer than in winter, on account of the temperature being more favorable to their action. The warm weather aids and increases their action, perspiration is freer and consequently elimination is quicker and more thorough. There is less liability to colds, the cost of living is cheaper, hotel rates of all grades is about 25 per cent lower and in every way it is more advantageous to the health seeker. The state of affairs is becoming better known every year as is attested from the fact that there are never here in the dullest months less than 3000 visitors, and practically all of them taking the baths. The hot waters which flow from the side of one of the Ozark mountains, in approaching 1,000,000 gallons daily, are all under the direct ownership and control of the United States. The Hot Springs are held as a govern ment monopoly, just as the making and sale of postage stamps are, and the in come derived from the use of the water by the various bath houses is all expend ed in improving and beautifying the reservation. The process of improve ment has been going on tor years under the charge of theSuperintendent appoint ed by the Secretary of the Interior, in whose Department the control of the springs is vested. It is one of the gov nment's most beautiful and artistic pieces of property. Without going into details, it is enough to say that early in the present century the government became con vinced that the waters possessed marvel ous curative properties, and it would re sult in a great wrong and hardship to the people to allow them to remain in private hands, so in 1882, by act of Con gress, they with «mple lands around them, were set apart as a "National sani tarium for all time," and were "dedicated to the people of the United States to be forever free from sale or alienation," so the act reads. f„ By this act the government "became the owner of seventy-two hot springs, with a temperature reaching as- high as 157 degrees, and averaging 136 degrees Farenheit, and now controls them in. a manner similar to the control exercised by their respective governments over Oarlsbad and Baden Baden. The springs issue from the base of the mountain to two hundred feet up its side, and are now all inclosed in masonry and con ducted to reservoirs, with two or three exceptions, where they are left open for the inspection of those curious to view the wonderful phenomenon and drink as near as possible to the fountain head. The price of baths and attendance is fixed by the gsvernment for each bath bouse, according to its equipment and facilities, and the bath house is not al lowed to depart from this price in either direction. It can charge no more and no les9, under penalty of having the hot watei cut ofL The rule is rigidly en forced, and no imposition is possible. The government tree bath house is one of the attractive features of "The Row." It is a little back and higher up the mountain than the other bath houses, and is devoted exclusively to bathing the indigent, t^ose who need the treat ment and cannot afford to pay for baths HOT SPRINGS, ARK. at the regular houses. Thus the govern ment insures the benefit of the waters to all, and people in needy circumstances are provided for, a & well as the most opulent. Sufferers from almost every known ailment plunge into the pools, which aie kept at the proper temperature by at tendants. Statistics from those thus treated show that over 75 per cent of them are either cured or greatly benefit ed —E. H. "Stradella" IMozart Club of St. Paul -will Present Thia Romantic Opera.

CLAIMS DAMAGES. MRS. HENRY QASINKPILES CLAIMAOA1NST CITY POR $sao«. FALLS ON CENTER STREET SIDEWALK. MRS. OASINK'S LIFE ENDANGERED BY THE "~r PALL-CLAin SBEJ1SJUST. Mrs. Henry Qasink has filed a claim against the city for damages resulting from iniury sustained by a fall caused by defective sidewalk on Center street, in front of Scherer's lumber yard. On March 27 Mrs. Gasink was returning to her home in the evening and caught her foot in the rotten planks of the sidewalk throwing her viollently to the ground, being enceinte at the time the fall was exceedingly serious causing the death of her unborn child and threatening her own life. She brings a claim of dam ages against the city for $5200 and has«§» employed Hoidale & Somsen to collect the same. This particular part of Center Street where this accident occurred is certainly a menace to the city. From Minnesota street to the railroad there is hardly a foot of walk on the south side that should not be candemned, and at the place where the accident occurred there are at least a dozen planks so rotten that the weight of an ordinary man if pro perly placed would break them through. Since the accident the city has bad one new plank put in but there are other places fully as dangerous as this and a number of people have narrowly escaped injury in passing over the walk. The walks throughout the city are in comparatively good condition in fact the city has few walks that are what might be considered dangerous, but in passing over the above one cannot fail to notice the neglected condition. Many of the planks are rotten, the nails have broken or pulled out of others so that a step on the end will throw them up and the en tire walk is uneven. The whole walk should be replaced in order to avoid fur accidents. The attention of the Review has been called to the practice of nailing patches on broken boards, without properly tap ering the edges. A number of suoh places may be found without much trouble.
