much. I’m the victim; I’m the one that
baa to suf—” “George!” said tbe lady.
That was all she said but George
seemed to understand and there was a
silence that was not broken until the
merchant observed in a deferential and
funereal way that It looked as if there

EUREKA SPRINGS.
Description from Our Special Corre-
spondent Wbo Has Been Taking
Baths Etc.
Eureka Springs Ark. June 11.
Editor Light:
When I think of tbe poor ennayed
invalid atay-at-bome woman of this
great nation and realize the possibili-
ties—nay the surety of health and hap-
piness that can be found by an acquain-
tance with tbe new and beautiful I
wish I had a prophet’s wand and could
send them forth to be healed and com-
forted. A man takes his grip sack and
top-coat steps Into bls train reads and
sleeps and enjoys the scenery transacts
bls business has lots of fun and returns
to his pale nervous wife with afresh
wonder that anybody can be depressed
or 111. Women have not been educated
to travel—more’s tbe pity. And then
women must have trunks - at least most
women. But lam intimately adquaint-
ed with one wbo can go clear “Out
West” with a portmanteau have a jolly
good time and I think look quite well
enough for all Intents and purposes.
“There is no need of going abroad to
become cleansid of disease” Horace
Greely the prophet of the west remarked
to a group of friends one evening.
“There Is medicine enough in our own
and to oure all the sick people on the
face of the earth. There Is gold and sil-
ver and ore of all kinds. In short there
is not an element of material prosperity
that we do not possess."
I could not but recall these statements
and prophesies as 1 stepped into a lux-
uriously appointed drawing room car.
with all the comforts of life at hand
and sped away toward this great El Do-
rado. tbe Mecca and Canaan of many a
tired man and woman of many an in-
valid seeking for the life-saving-waters
—the literal springs of existence which
Mr. Greely so glowing described and so
thoroughly believed In. It Is not always
pleasant to travel with Invalids but this
old gentleman with two stiff knees
his lovely middle aged daughter
a long-time sufferer from neuralgia
and a sweet flaxen-haired little girlare
tbe lovllest companions In the world.
True the old gentleman sometimes
used a "big big D ” when hie ser-
vant helps him to change his position
but this breach of good manners is In-
variably followed by such a pittlful
flush and so humble an apology that I
wish from my heart if expletive will
relieve bitn be will explete to bis
heart’s eontent. When grandpa got to
the Crescent Daisy told me he was go-
ing to throw away both his canes and
John could take her out driving and
mamma wouldn't have any more pain
in her face either.
“Yes and If 1 ever reach Eureka
Springs alive I’ll stay there" said tbe
old gentleman suppressing a rising
“d.”
“Until you get pretty well limbered
up again” bis daughter responded
archly.
“If 1 ever take those legs east again 1
shall deserve to be incarcerated as a lu-
natic” was tbe irascible response.
The “Crescent" so enthusleally long-
ed for by Miss Daisey I found to be tbe
magnificent hotel of that name only
about a year old but in whose opening
festivities the little girl bad pleasantly
participated. This is indeed a model
structure it stands on top of a moun-
tain in a park of fifteen acres beauti-
tifully laid out with trees and flowers of
every description. It is built of hand-
some white stone taken from the quar-
ries of Whiteriver. The same kind of
stone was used in tbe construction of the
famous bridge that spans the Arkansas
river at Van Buren. The mountain up-
on which the hotel stands is wild and
romantic beyond description. On tbe
west in the distance is Pea Ridge the
scene of a memorial battle during the
late war. On the northwest is tbe fertile
and fascinating Leatherwood valley.
Looking east we have the Magnetic
spring capped by green-clad bills and
just now covered by every imaginable
kind of wild flowers and the loveliest
farms in tbe world. At the south is tbe
pretty wide-awake town while beyond
Is an unbroken forest of rich pine which
imparts a healing influence to the air
most grateful and beneficial to sensitive
bronchials and diseased lungs. There are
over twenty hotels in the beautiful
town beside tbe Crescent. Excellent
board can be obtained and special ar-
rangements by tbe week can be made
by those who come to stay. The Cres-
cent hotel is supplied with water from
the Congress Spring and the guests are
supplied with water from any spring
that they may prefer or their physicians
may order for drinking or bathing pur-
poses. There is no comfort or luxury
that can not be found in this hotel on
the mountain-top. Gas electric bells
steam heat open fires and hydraulic
elevators. This elegant structure six
stories high was well under the super-
vision of Gen. Powell Clayton governor
of Arkansas who regarded his work
with pride as well be may. This gen-
tleman’s chief satisfaction and boast is
the entire freedom from malaria that
Eureka Springs enjoysand the attention
paid by its Inhabitants to sanitary condi-
tions. For instance all tbe sewer-
age of the Crescent is conveyed
to Leatherwood Creek one mile
and a half away at an enormous ex-
pense it is true but securing perfect im-
munity from tbe thousand and one dis-
eases which arise from carelessness in
these respects. It is a fact not generally
known that tbe city of Eureka Springs
has been built up to its present resident
population of six thousand by those who
came here as invalids. In 1879 all knowl-
edge of the springs was of a local char-
acter. In that year Judge Saunders
wbo had been ill for a long time with
erysipelas and dropsy came hither and
spread his tent. The pure air and tbe
pure water cured him and now where
this lonely dwelling once stood has
arisen a beautiful city bullded by the
best brains that could be furnished by
our brainy America. Tbe mountains
and valleys and rare scenery surround-
ing this city can never be forgotten nor
the spirit of contentment and enthusiasm
that pervades tbe place. In less than
a week my old gentleman was able to
hobble about tbe grounds and seemed
to have forgotten the “big big D” en-
tirely. Daisy and her mother
made daily excursions to the
Magnetic Spring situated in tbe
romantic valley below the Crescent
which is particularly recommended for
neuralgia. Bath-houses are everywhere
and warm or cold bath from any spring
can be had at all hours with as careful
and scientific attendance as was one can
find in the most luxurious Turkish baths
of tbe east. Tbe best results in all dis-
eases are obtained by courses of baths
in connection with the free use of tbe
waters as a beverage. Nothing more
inspiring to body and soul than this
cedar-laden air can be imagined and for
an all-tbe-year-round place for invalids
it has no peer. There is very little time
during tbe winter that the most delicate
invalids need to be home-bound as Eu-
reka Springs occupies that happy mean
between the intense cold of the north-
western states and the tropical beat of
the extreme southern. All visitors hate
to leave tbe Crescent but the flags are
flying gaily and it is only au re voir
“Stay and see me discard my canes”
says my old gentleman. "This is the
spot par excellence for all brain-
workers.” No truer word was ever
spoken but home and home duties
becken and so with a sigh for
tbe beautiful walks tbe caves and grot-
toes tbe fern-clad mountains and val-
leys the lofty distant peaks a farewell
bath and drink of the life-giving spring
I turn my back on this lovely spot. The
knowledge that it is only a short way
after ail and should neuralgia nip or
rheumatism twinge I could cry
Eureka in spirit and in truth makes tbe
return trip an added comfort and in-
spiration. In conclusion let me say.that
two dresses are quite sufficient for a
trip of this kind and if my feminine
readers who are tired out with sewing
and house cleaning and the wear and
tear of social life or those who are ill
and nervous could only be made to re-
alize trie health value of an occasional
flitting of this kind they would speedi-
ly become acquainted with the beauties
and resources of their own country.

SAN ANTONIO RIFLES.
Their Reception by the Ladies Very
Pretty but Marred by Some
Peculiar Blunders.
Last night tbe lady friends of the San
Antonio Rifles tendered the company a
reception at their armory and the scene
presented was indeed a pretty picture
tbe costumes of tbe ladles being elegant
and the decoration excellent but there
was an entire absence of the enthusiasm
and entente cordiale that is tbe life of
such entertainments. It was painfully
evident that tbe ladies had made agreat
mistake in not accepting the offer made
them to hold the reception in Turner
ball and tbe absence of tbe Belknap
Rifles owing to an injudicious error was
to a great extent a damper on the pro-
ceedings. After considerable delay the
selected guests were seated at the tables
and Louis Berg introduced Mr. W. J. B.
Patterson who welcomed the boys in
somewhat extravagant peons. Then Mr.
Woodson rose and tired some “poetry”
at the boys which was well received and
then—
What then occurred >s lost to poster-
ity except upon hearsay evidence for
although tbe representatives of tbe
Light Times and Express were present
as invited guests not tbe slightest
courtesy was shown to them and very
properly they stood upon their dignity
and retired in disgust.
Assault to Murder.
Lilly Wilson a woman is now in the
county jnii charged with having made
an assault to murder Mrs. Coy. Mrs.
Coy went to Lilly’s residence to see if
her (Mrs. Coy’s) husband was not there
and the frail Lilly drew a pistol and
tried to shoot her but was prevented
from doing so by another woman who
was present.
