So far as we have been able to learn tbe independents of the county did not get out and attend the convention that was called for last Saturday by tbe chairman of tbe county central com mittee. So it was postponed to Tues day evening at the city hall, when we are told they again failed to get out enough to transact any business. Hence the independent party of Fall Biver county is not likely to be repre sented at Mitchell. This is tbe situa tion as given us by the leading inde pendents who know anything about it or would say anything about it f' (,«. K-s-- i.v JsC,'-. v* A From Thursday's Dally. Mrs. J. A.

They assure us that at present tbe prospects are good for an increased patronage and for a decidedly successful season. Several improve ments will be made at the grounds which will add to tbe comfort, and con venience of campers and visitors generally. Shann & Co. commence to buy wool in the near future. This means more to the county than you would suppose. The price they will pay will be from 10 to 12 cts. a pound, and they will sbip from 10 to 15 car loads within tbe pext month. This means that between $40,000 and $50,000 in cash will be turned loose in tbe county within that time and it will be mostly among small farmers. Who says sheep are not a paying investment? Mr. Dake of Franklin, Neb., who has been here for a few weeks taking baths, returns home tonight almost cured. His wife is much benefited and will remain a few weeks longer. He came exclusively for his wife's health but bad not been able to raise his band to put in his pocket—his arm being lamed from a hurt received years ago. He has received so much benefit that now be can lift his arm above his head and use it almost any way. He says he will send others from his neighborhood here for treat ment. Mrs. Allie Logan came here five weeks ago suffering with partial paralysis of the neck and back, and en during constant, pain in the back of. her head. She bas taken the baths regularly and is now almost well. She thinks her cure a remarkable one and cannot say enough about the benefit she bas received. Mrs. Logan bad been sick for six years before, and last year she was thrown from a wagon and severely hurt, since which time shs has not been an hour without pain. They have spent all tbey have made for medicine and doctoring but got no benefit at all until she came here. She leaves for home this evening feeling like a different woman, and' free from all pain. H. A. Godard was appointed receiver of the Catholicon company by Judge Gardner on Saturday, and on Tuesday he went to Deadwood and had bis bond of $5,000 approved by the court. He, in company with S. M. Houghton, took charge of the property today, and the bath bouse and hotel will continue to run as usual.. This move will ulti mately result in great good for this valuable property and it could not have been placed in better hands Mr. Oodard's. S. M. Houghton will manage the hotel and bath house and as an executive officer his ability is well known. Tbe property is very valuable and with two such enter. prising, hustling men, with excellent business capacity, they are sure to add materially to the business of the Car tholicon as well as Hot Springs.• V- n- A. Blunck and tbe purchase price waa $1,000. Joe Elliott, who is employed by the Western South Dakota Stock Growers* association, is in tbe city visiting with Sam Moses.
