Geo. Holland talks of opening a hotel
nt Hot Springs, Dakota. You can de
pend on it if he does that he will have
the best hotel in South Dakota. George
is among the best and most prosperous
hotel keepers in the west and has more
friends among the traveling public than
any man in the business.
King Kalakaua, of the Hawaiian Is
lands, is in this country in conference
with Secretary Blaine. It leaks out that
his mission is to negotiate the sale of
the Islands to this government If this
rumor be true and the terms asked are
reasonable, it may be depended upon

of the most pleasant as well aa unique
entertainments that we have ever wit
nessed in the city. It was sosthiag
out of the usual line and the participants
deserve credit In another place we
give a more extended write-up by a re
porter for the occasion.
Our people who have eaoagfa aad
plenty to share should not forget the

necessities of life by reason of their
having failed to raise enough food to
keep the gaunt wolf from their doors

large number of people in Webster oo
ty, who will need aid before winter is
orer and our citizens should begin the
good work soon.

Tue Kcic's Daccstwis. The King's
Daughters entertainment given at the
opera house last Friday evening was a
wncosss and well appreciated by the
krge audience.
The sublime, redkntkmH and pathetic
recitations and musical melodies, made
up a varied program.
The "overture by GimbeT which Miss
McAroy so grscefslly payed wss foUow
matrfcvletiisi Campbell,
and Thadias McNitt were the violinists,
and Miss Marsh, pianist their theme was
the patriotic "air of America with van
ations."
In a natural mimicking tone Miss
Alice Remsberg iadistriouly whittled a
stick, boy fashion as she recited "What
a boy thinks.
Mas Jessie Sherman sweetly sang s
vocal solo from "Rosewig" and responded
to an encore.
The tableau, "temptation" wss also
good.
Part second opened with the "kinder
simfonie' which consisted of eight
charming maidens in becoming conven-
tial costumes while violin, piano, drum,
whistles, flute, cornet and other musical
instruments represented the birds as
they piped and whistled the merry sim
fonie. It is hard to tell of the "Shadow Pan
tomiaeV which was the funniest the
antics of the "Feejee Islanders" as they
cooked the missionary aad his civilization
or the "clean shave" that vividly recall
ed similiar experiences, or the joke on
Dr. "Emy."
Miss Nye always holds the attention
of her hearers and especially she did so
as she recited the tragic story of the
"Fall of Pemberton Mills."
In the vocal solo from "Wamelink"
Miss Igou's full rich tones were heard to
advantage and she was supported ably
by the exquistite tones of the violin of
Mr. Penman and Miss McAvoy pianist
The Highland Lassies in native cos
tume were recognized to be the Misses
Sherman and Tulleys as they sweetly
sung the popular "Scotch Ballad" and
responded to the encore.
The male quartette of Messrs. Plumb,
Barker, Cotting and Mitchell gave
pleasing interpretation to the sonorous
melody in the chapel, and this number
concluded one of the best homo enter
tainments of the season. Rf.iorter.
A Mr.KRY Christmas. Tiir. Chief
wishes its thousands of readers, a merry,
merry Christmas. True the prospect is
not one that is well calculated to make
the hearts of the people cheerful and
bright, owing to the distress among the
poorer classes, yet what in t bo need of
brooding trouble ami freUiir,' ovr some
thing that can not be hel(l, therefore
let us all make the best of it and bo as
merry as circumstances will permit us to
be, hoping that with the next turn of
the tide it will bring more beautiful re
sults. To those who have plenty, let
them bo generous and make light hearts
wherever they can, and those who have
enough to keep the gaunt wolf from
the door, be thankful that they have
it After all let's put aside the cares of
life and send forth the glad tidding,s
that the "Star of Bethlehem" still shines
for all as He did in ages past Then set
the Christmas bell a going, and we dare
say that through the "Eternal fitness of
things" there will be brighter days com
ing, and Christmas will bo but the dawn
of better times. Let us hope it may.
Again we wish our friends, a merry
Christmas.
