by 40 little girls. which was greeted with rounds
Of applause. and. In fact. seemed to please the
audience more than any feature Of the enter
tainment. The little girls were dressed in ODD
fashioned sly les. and wore aprons and caps,
each carrying a doll. The different evolutions
and doll tactios through which they went were
very amusing and we know that Capt. May
Crowle's patience was overtaxed with the first
file, but she bore 1t bravely, and kept her bright
face wreathed in smiles. The little girls drilled
admirably and their instructor. Miss Mcclure,
deserves the highest praise for accomplishing
80 much in the short time allotted to her for
the training of tho little ones.
Next came a song for Cornet-"Under
the Daisies-"by Mr.. ]. A. Armentrout and
Band. and we deem 1t useless to make any
comment, as Mr., Armentrout's ability as f1ue
cornet-sololsti is well known.
CRADLE SONGS OF MANY NATIONS.
The first part of Cradle Songs OF Many Ma
tions was next on the programme, and all
waited anxiously for the curtain to rise.
The sound of the stage bell the curtain out
ofsight and ten ladies sitting by cradles COM
posed the scene, each lady representing diff
ferent nation, and wearing the costume OF the
nation she represented. The ladies all sang
their different songs well. and several of them
were compelled to repeat, in order to quiet the
house among them Mrs. Metcalf. Miss McGuf-
fin, and Miss Ives.
At the conclusion of the first part of Cradle
Songs. the Band played Polka. and then
came Danes Cradle Song-TabIeau-by Miss
Julia Haines. The scene WAS Mid Ocean, upon
The bosom of which f1pated a frail bark, and in
IT, the mother sat singing her lullaby, while red
calcium lights flashed like lightning upon the
painted deep. The scene was beautiful, and
was loudly applanded
Cradle Songs-part 2, was similar to the first
part, tho representing different Nations and by
different ladies'. Many OF the ladies were call
ed back and Mr.. Ed. Baker, who represented
the Heather Chiuee." was called to the front
times. and sang with credit to himself his lit
tie song of MA, Ma"
After the exercises in the Opera House. the
majority of the audience repaired to the rooms
In the basement where bountiful supper had
been spread by the la0ies. while others stroled
into the Art Gallery in the Council Cham ber-
The Art Gallery contained rare specimens
and all who saw them were more than pleased
sold too. We have not space here to describe
them, but can refer our readers to some promi-
nent citizens who were there with Opera glass;
es, or to our worthy friend, W. 81. H. Lynn,
whose description of that grand old work of
art-"The path f1nder"-is very amusing
Too much cannot be said in favor of the aides
who took part in the entertainment; and the
zeal they manifested for Its success, and their
faithful efforts are most cordially appreciated
not only by the Band, but by the public in
general, for by their kindness and energy they
promote and assist an organization which is
second to none in onr c,ty-the "Stonewall
Brigade Band"
The net proceeds OF the entertainment
amount to $685.

4 VALUABLE FARM FOR SALE.

"A
In consequence OF business engagements in
another State. which will require my personal
attention, offer for sale privately, my farm
about quarter of a mile East of the Valley
Turnpike. The tract is part Of the old Wayt
Bell farm, and contains
1870 ACRES
of fine lard. admirably located and in a high
state OF cultivation. This land has long been
celebrated for its unusual cropping qualities.
and is regarded as one of the best tracts in the
county. 1t has been greatly improved in the
past few years and is now In excellent condi-
ton throughout. A new plank fence extends
along the entire front, and all of the cross
fences are in thorough order.
The ImprOveme
consist of a roomy and well-arranged -
Frame Dwelling, nearly new situated Efsa
in large grove of native oaks, and &C. <kEkA,
cupytng an eminence from which one of the
most beautiful and extensive views In the VAL
ample and in excellent repair. A young and
vigorous orchard of choice fruit will in year
or two be In full bearing. At the house are q
large cistern and artesian well, and there Is
running water in every field.
Considering Its proximity to the city, the
place offers excellent investment to an en-
terprising man. 1t is within quarter of a
mile of the finest turnpike in Vlrginia-just
far enough to avoid the annoyance Incident to
4 much travelled thoroughfare, and near
enough to get the full advantage of fine road.
rhe place offers excellent facilities for truck
ing and its nearness TO the Staunton markets
would make it profitable.
This property is offered at O reasonable price

cept Buchanan, which was not In form as re-

Huron Wants Competing Line
which will Put Down the Price of

C0at.
Special to the Globe.
HURON, OAK, Oct 29.-How to get fuel
at moderate price is question that is just
now agtating the people OF this city and
adjacent towns The present prices ale,
for hard coal, from S11.75 to $3.50 per
ton; soft coal from IS to $3.50 per ton, and
wood from IS to $3.50 per cord. These
figures are about the same as prevailed here
all last winter when it was hoped that be-
fore the present winter Huron's railroad
facilities would be such as would reduce
the freight on coal and wood, and dealers
be little more moderate in their charges.
In this we have been disappointed. al
though there is a fair prospect of railroad
connection with Duluth early next summer.
The fact that Watertown. Mitchell,
Sioux Falls and several other towns
in this part Of Dakota are blessed
with competing lines of railroad and rejoice
in cheap rates for fuel. puts Huron some
what at disadvantage. and her people are
seriously casting about for plan by which
thew can be relieved of this, the heaviest
burden they are compelled to bear. The
only relief, however, will be to secure a
line of railroad that will give Huron a
more direct route to the coal fields of Iowa
and Illinois, or put us In communication
with Duluth and get the advantage of
cheap freights via the lakes. Neither can
be secured without the expenditure of
money.

Induced to extend its line from Sioux Falls
to Huron; or the Milwaukee coaxed to make

AN IMPORTANT ADMISSION.
Ehe Pierre Press Editor Recognizes
Democratic STRENGTH.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 29.-Less than
year ago the Pierre Press said that the
Democratic party in Dakota was an unor-
ganized, office seeking mob. and could't Or
ganize a respectable party in single
county. Now it says:
All over Dakota the Democrats are organ
izing and max ng party fight, and in every
county they are trying to divide and split up
the Republican vote. They are carrying on
a regular bushwhacking campaign.
This is an indication, by way of admis-
sion. that the sapient and usually wise
Press editor has had his eye-teeth cut. He
has many friends here, and they note his
admission with pleasure. 1t is but natural
that he should call it bushwha cking Or
ganizatiOn, but he admits the organization,
all the same. 1t is quite likely that when
the votes are counted next week it will De

REFLECqING PUBLIC OPINION.

That is what Republican Editors
Are Boing In supporting Day.
Special to the Globe.
WAsHINe TON, Oct. 29.-It may not be
inappropriate to repeat the statements of a
Republican who was here on business and
left on Wednesday to return to Dakota and
vote for Hon. NJ. Ii. Day. He said:
If you will note the expressions of your ex-
changes you will see that the Day County
Herald. Dickey County Leader and many
other Republican papers are declaring for
Day. They do not do this of their own ac-
cord. Newspapers never do. They reflect
and do not make public opinion. The Re
publican papers WHO declare for Day do so
because they find public sentiment running
that way. OF course some OF them take their
stand intelligently and earnestly, because il
is the right move to make. But many of
them are simply rejecting public opinion,
which Is all running Mir. Days way. You
would be surprised TO notice the number of
Republicans who are in favor Of having a
Democratic delegate. and who believe that
Mr.. Day 10 the best man In the territory to
represent US.
de then handed your correspondent a
copy of one OF the Republican papers. In
which was the following editorial announce
ment:
At the head Of this column readers will
fnd the name OF N. H. Day as our candidate
for delegate to congress. Mr.. Day is Demo
crat- but he stands on q platform declaring
in favor OF submitting to the people the ques-
ton of division-what we asked for and were
refused at YanktOn. We would have pre-
ferred to have had third candidate favoring
admission As 8 whole. whom Sill anti-division-
lists, Democrats and Republicans alike would
have supported, but as that il impracticable
at this late day we deem it to the interests of
all parties in Central Dakota to support the
Democratic candidate, because his views are
more nearly in accordance with ours.
