is emphatically the exception In the
exhibition will be found not only many WORKS
of art gathered from different countries, out
there viii also be seen much that Is the proauc-
ton of native talent. The former NAV DC the
subject of more admiration but the latter Will
afford the deeper interest. The peo-
pie OF Seattle are more interested In
knowing what may be the artistic
possibilities OF those who reside on Puget
sound, than in observing what the artists OF the
world may have achieved. With this end in
view the members of the Woman's Home
Society have been deeply earnest in procuring
all possible productions from Seattle's own resi-
dents The showing made will be happy one,
and inspires the hope that the near future Will
yield greater wonders. The pessimist smiles
grimly and predicts that the rude struggle of
life will drive all poetry and art from the souls
OF Puget sound dwellers, and that the material
istic tendencies of New England will numb the
instincts OF this people. Such condition will
never exist until the waters OF the Sound fade
away and Rainier and the olympies melt into
one common, level plain. The past week
in social circles opened up without PROMISE
but toward the latter days an event here and
there bobbed up surprisingly, and upon tally
at the latter end, September's fnal week proved
far from dull. Sara Bernhardt drew society TO
hear "Fedora," and the leaders saw some cos
tunes that were marvels of elegance and inge-
nuity. On Thursday evening the Friendship
Society gave well-attended social. On Friday
evening the Cotillion Club gave the last hop of
its summer season at Odd Fellows hall, in
North Seattle, which was perhaps more satisfac-
torily attended than any other affair of the kind
during the entire season. Mics Sheafe gave a
yellow luncheon yesterday afternoon in honor OF
Miss Emma Thursby. Another well attended
affair during the week was the campfire given
by Stevens Post at Grand Army hall. The
Minnesota Club gave an enjoyable social on
Tuesday evening. This week will present sew
eral interesting social attractions. There will
be reception rendered to Miss Emma Thursby
at the Rainier on Tuesday evening. The Musi-
cal Club will give concert for both associate
and active members on Friday afternoon, while
the Thursby concert on Thursday evening will
engage the attention of many society people.
The Guonod Club is doing fine work with the
oratorio "Creation" and Seattle may soon expect

entitled aSnow White" The entertainment
was gotten up by Professor A. Lueben for the

musical gem were assumed by the differ

East Big Stone Gap Land and Improve
ment Company.


Senator Mills, the president, reports
rs follows:-The company was organized
on the 9Th day of April, 1890, and meet
ing of the stockholders was held in Good
son, Va, on that date The capital stock
of the company was made five hundred
thousand dollars and onc-fth of this
stock is reserved as treasury stock and
placed at the disposal of the president
of the company to indnce the locating of
enterprises which may be beneficial to
the town and its surroundings. The land
owned by the company comprises about
two hundred acres is on the south
fork of Powell's river and is considered
one of the best locations for q town site
in this vicinity, and the S. A. Il 0. rail
road passes through the center of the
town. The Company has also reserved
all of the water front on both sides of
Powell's river for factory purposes and is
prepared to donate sites to any enterprise
that will help the growth of the place.
Among the principal stockholders of
the company are 7. B. Wright, Smithfeld,
Va; r. B. Lee, of Richmond, Va, NJ. B.
Wood, Bristol, Tenn; H. H. Downing,

mond, Va; A. E. Dickinson, Richmond,
Va; j. F. Bullitt, Jr Big Stone Cap, and
many others. Since the LIST of August,
1890, the company has been heavily en-
gagged in grading its streets and in erect
ing large hotel, which will cost about
twenty thousand dollars, the foundation
of which is now about completed and the
balance will be pushed forward as rapidly
as possible. 1t will contain all of the
modern conveniences and will be run in
6rst-class style.
There have been several store houses
and dwellings built and more are in course
of erection, and recently thirty odd lots
were sold adjoining the company's land
for the purpose of building houses for
laborcrs and mechanics to live in.
The furnace is also alocated near East
Big Stone Gap, and we hope to soon
locate several more enterprises in and
around the town. There have been about
sixteen thousand dollars worth of lots sold
out of the company's plat No. and the
schedule price is low enough for any one
who desires an investment or q building
site.

BLOODY INDIAN FIGHTING.
The Troops and Hostiles Have Had Sew
eraI Collisions and the Black Flag
is Raised on Both Sides.

OMAHA, Jan. l.-Since the battle at
Wounded Knee creek, in which some
twenty soldiers were killed and wounded
and about seventy-6ve Indians, the Up
per Sioux, some three thousand strong,
have gone on the war path, under the
leadership of Big Head, Kicking Bear,
Little Wound and. others. They are en-
route for the Bad Lands and bloody bat
tie is expected at any hour. Depredations
are numerous, and there is great excite
ment and alarm among the settlers.
Many Of the latter have been found muir.
dered and scalped in every direction.
The black flag is up on both sides, and
neither troops nor Indians show quarter.
In the last battle the latter fought to the
death, shooting after they had fallen from
wounds. A serious war is on hand.

THE ooURIER-JouRNAL's DROP.
and Lowers It's Price to Save Its
Circulation.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. l.-Quitc a sensation
was caused this morning by the announce
ment in the Courier-J Journal, that it
would hereafter be furnished to SUBJ
scribers at is cents per week. Il does
this to save its circulation which has
never reached over $4,000 daily, though
it was popularity supposed to have many
more. The Commercial has been enlarged
to six pages and is crowding out its neigh
Dor for the city patronage. The come
down of the Couricr-Journal is regarded
here as very significant, and many believe
il is financially cramped.
