"'iSV""'" THE COURIER Mrs. Al. Ilargraves and daughter Miss Blanche left Wednesday for Boston. Miss Dowoy left on Monday for Washington, D. C. k Miss Fannie Buttorflcld, Miss Fore and Miss Ilydo went to Hot Springs, S. D., Saturday. Ray Welch is at Spirit Lake. & y. Hot Spbings, S. D. Since my last letter I have visited about all the places of interest in and around this very delightful resort. Cascade Springs, twelve miles away hardly repays one for the trip. The road is rough and the least attractive of any about hero. The small town is not in a flourishing state, work having been stopped on nearly all the 'struc tures. A very beautiful bath house has just been opened, said to have cost $25,000, with marble tubs and no end of modern extrava gant improvements. As the railroad does not run within six miles it looks very much as if a forturae had been struck. Tally-ho coach es run every morning to Wind Cave. The road takes one past Battle Mountain where the fight for possession of these Springs took place between the Sioux and the Cheyennes in the Bad Lands. The cave is really wonderful with the ninety miles of sulterranean passages. It was here, you will remember, that Johnson the mind reader found the needle after a three days search. The most pictur esque drives are through Hot and Cold Brook Canons. The sceno throughout the former is wild and is majistic with its wind ing roads and over-hanging cliffs. The Chautauqua grounds are well situated on one of the prettiest spots of the canon. The Assembly held their last meeting for this year on Saturday, when the Hon. John McShane gave an address, and yesterday there was a large excursion on the B. & M. R. R. to Deadwood and Spearfish leaving hero at 3:30 a. m. and returning tho same evening at 9:30 p. m. Mrs. John McShane and party were among the number. Saturday evening's danco was the largest of the season. On Monday, in honor of Mrs. Yates and her party, Mrs. Lellar en tertained at tea at her very pretty cottage on the hill. Quite a little muffled excitement was caused at tho Hotel Evans by the resignation of Manager Hugh, but as Mr. Evans is most anxious to re-instate him we trust it will be amicably arranged. The ladies here at the hotel are having a progressive euchre party this afternoon, a very daintily embroidered centre piece hangs up as head prize. This weeks arrivals include Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Bennett, Mr. Charles H. Wilson, Mr. Brock, Mr. Bindorff, Miss Buttertield, Miss Foor, Miss Hyde, Mr. Ben Paddock. W. Q. B. Ilf OMAHA. Mrs. H. A.

An editor was fired out of church becauso in a spirit of absent mindedness, whilo the congregation was singing tho lines of an old familiar hymn ho bawled out: Lot every kindred every tribe, on this tergestrial ball, pui down their their dollars and subscribe, and w'H receipt for all." Why is it that moro glasses are worn now than formerly, and is it true that "tho American peoplo liko to bo humbugged"' in regard to spectacles? was asked Mr. Hallet, the well-known jowelor and opti cian by a Courier representative. "Well," said Mr. Hallet, "one reason more glasses are worn is becauso recent investigation has brought to light tho fact that a great many head troubles, such as neuralgia and headache are directly traceable to defective eyes. Why, I have had people say to mo that they would givo anything in tho world to get rid of the headache, some who havo paid out a great deal of money trying to get rid of it, too; and upon examination I would find them suffering from a visional defect which a pair of pro perly and carefully fitted glasses would remove, thus removing the headache also. In regard to tho second part of your question would say somo peo ple do. Yes, they will buy of some traveling quack, who will make a sale whether his customer is in need of glasses or not, well knowing that he will not bo hero long enough to suffer tho conse quences. Then too, they cannot sell a good article as cheap as we can. People will got their eyes ruined by buying of somo peddler and will then come to us and have an expensive pair fitted in which they are in absolute need of, thus making it costly exper ience.' "Then wo have a great many lenses ground to order." This statementho corroborated by showing his order book in which wero a goodly number of orders. "We make a specialty of the Diamond brand but sell others. So my friend," said Mr. Hallett, as he hastened away to wait on some customers, when you want a pair of glasses properly fitted and reasonable in price, come in and we'll fit you.
