prises which in the near future will be
developed here. The paint is a dark

THE STAR was honored by a ea}ifrom
a jolly crowd last Wednesday. the
coachman and manager was Mr.. Fitch,
of Omaha. The butchers coach,
drawn by his handsome matched bron-

was perched beside the driver, while
the post of honor, the real seat, was
occupied by Mrs. DR.. Bliem and Miss
Rogers. The post was too long or
the seat was too high. for their No. 2

Last Saturday evening the parlors
of the Minnckahta hotel were taken

were no prizes given and at a season.

No matter how great the enjoyment,

There is one thing that invallds may
not generally know, and that is, that

the Chicago Homeopathic Medical
college, has been here all summer, and.
assisted by DIR. Jennings, has perform.
