The Christmas exercises of the Meth

held on Christmas night, and drew a large
audience.
The main audience room presented a
pretty appearance, the decorations being
appropriate aud neat. AT the pulpit was
representation in evergreens of man
ger, with rack over it, on which was
placed the presents. Over the Manager
were the words Bethlehem's Manger
Cradles King" Above the manger vas
a star. Two evergreen arches were sprung
over the asles, with the words ''Peace on
Earth, "Good Will to Men"
The music was an attractive feature of
The exercises. 1t consisted of instrument
tai music by four comets, singing by the
school, instrumental music on two violins
and flute by three children OF Mr.. John
Silvers, of Belvidere, and cantata by
several children Of the school. There
were also rectations and pretty fairy
drill by small girls. The audience was
we'll pleased with the entertainment
The closing act proved the most enter

the distribution of boxes of candies and

The Christmas services of the Presby-
terrain Church were held in the main audi.
ence room on Christmas Eve, Great care
had been taken by the Superintendent,
Warren A. Greene, Esq, to have something
new and novel. He was assisted by a
committee of ladies, consisting of Mrs
James S. Studdiford, Mrs Samuel w
Cochran and Mis-. Armstrong, TO make
everything in connection with the enter.
tainment attractive. The main feature,
which pleased the children and, we might
add, the old folks also, was the represent
tation of an old-fashioned fire. place and
mantle-piece, which was natural enough
TO be real, even TO the fire. Several old
pieces of furniture, consisting OF chairs, a
spinning wheel, shovel and tongs, and
irons, logs, &C., lent additional charms
Two OF the children, boy aud girl, re-
presented GRANDPA and "Gfandma. I"
The mantle-piece WAS ornamented by nu-
merous stockings, all iull of candy Up
on the shelves were filed boxes ot cau-
dies, oranges and bags oil nuts, which ia
good time were given the children. A
Christmas tree ON either side OF the CHIN
ney WAS filled with good things aud the
front of the recess was decorated with
wreaths OF ivy and molly, arlIslically
dropped.
The address by the Pastor, Rev. VIM
Swan, was perhaps one of the best ever
delivered by him to the children under
such circumstances, ut least the children
thought so, and consisted merely in wish
ing them all "a merry Christmas and "a
happy New Year" The responsive read
lug was hearty, the singing by The child
rem and choir was excellent, aud the solos
by Mrs. Dilts, Miss Ely and Miss Lauer,
were appreciated very highly.
Miss Leech deserves great credit for the
thorough instruction of The children aud
careful training of the choir, which with
the other part Of the programme, proved
such pleasant entertainment. "Old
Chris" did not leave any more good
things than were necessary to go around,

1t Gets Some Attention,

months ago you scarcely saw mention
made of it in the various papers through
out the country, but today you cannot pick
up a paper, let it be ever 10 insignificant.

Or its methods. Twelve months ago pol
iticians ignored its very existence; to day
they WOO it with strains as plaintive as
they would WOO a coy maiden : coming

interests have become so absorbingly dear
to many candidates that they can scarcely
sleep for devising some measures of relief.

We are gravcly informed again that
the timber thieves OF the Black Hills arc
to be prosecuted. Pish! Does the secre.
tary of the interior think the people OF
this country are all fools? This old
sham, this worn out pretense deceives
nobody. This sudden activity just be-
fore a senator is to be elected is but a
part of the old game to deceive the peo-
pie. Some poor ranchmen, some small
mill men, will be harried for a few
months. but the great Homestake, the
giant robber, will not be disturbed as
long as it's attorney is senator, and
commissioner, district attorney,
officers and agents his s~ubservient

ported against the Homestake depreda-
tons with great minuteness and detail,
but soon after such reports the agents
head is chopped off, or he is sent to 81

wanted here, where his testimony might

In the light of recent returns the re-
publicans who were so persistent in charg-

falsehoods. The independent party not

resort to fusion as did the republicans

ryE RESULT IN mItsN RsorA.

TBE i.I;SULT IN MIfTNESGTA.
While The result OF the election in
Minnesota Was undoubtly q sore disa-
pointment to many ardent allianc men,
yetit was. quite up to the expectations
of those who had the best means of
knowing the exact situation. In fact,
the election OF the alliance ticket would,
under the circumstances have been
little short OF miraculous. In over
twenty counties there were no alliance
organization, and in many other count
les organizations were both few and
weak. But in every county we'll orga-
nized the vote was heavy, and in many
cases a majority or u plurality was
gwen for the alliance ticket. Out of 63
counties reported at this writing % gave
majorities or p%luralitics for the alliance.
Some OF the counties gave very large
majorities, notably Otter Tail, Polk,
Norman, Douglas, Marshall, LacquiParle
Clay and Others.
Out OF a total vote OF about 100000,
the alliance willhavein the neighborhood
Of $4,000, a magnificent vote, all things

money to pay the expense OF speakers,
to circulate literature IN sufficient guam

considerable amount OF the legitimate

OF the state central committee, and it
handled a large percentage OF the money
used in the campaign. This sum is SO

prise to old political managers how SO
much was accomplished with so little to
do with. Again, a great deal OF friction

its share OF it, and vas CORRESPONDENCE

and non-partisanship of thefarmers and
