the opera house next Sunday morning
at ii o'clock and in the evening at 7:-
so, to which Rev. Mcbride cordially
invites the public.
Miss Matte Spangler, the pleasant,
accommodating book-keeper at the
Gillespie, departed Monday evening for
Mitchill. where she will visit with her
parents for few weeks.
Work upon the Shope block will be
commenced at once. The Odd Fellows
have decided to rent the upper story.
The building will be brick, 25SSO feet.
1t is expected to be finished within 60
days.
Deadwood people are excellent
pations of Hot Springs. They delight
in visiting our city. Last Sunday the
following were in the city: l.. r..
Graves, John Musselman, A. Burnham.
Rev. w Coe and wife, Sol S.ar and f..

The poverty party at the MinneSahta
club rooms last Friday night was a
great success, both in point of pleasure
and financially. DR.. Cheney and
Mrs. A. ID. Wood carried off the prizes
as being the most miscrablv dressed in
the party. There were many very
comical costumes.
Cleveland has written his letter of
acceptance to the nomination of the
presidency. Unlike Harrisons letter,
it abounds in pso,nsscs-sonatl'lEg
that they were never known to fulfill.
Clsvcland's letter is anything but
clear and frank. 1t smoothly evades
frankness: 1t Is Il timid dissertation up
on questions that are Important; that
deserve decision and emphasis. 1t is
characteristic of Cleveland; ne is never
positive, but weak and vascllating.
The STAR man fell in with bad COM
pany the other day for a few moments.
In some manner we became associated
with small gathering of democrats.
To change the monotony of every
day topics we said something about
politics. There was rather an absorb
ing grin went the rounds, when some
one remarked that they could figure
out majority for every democratic
nominee excepting for treasurer. for
which Office they couldn't find a caudi-
date who vas willing to be slaughtered
If we were as sure of the proper dis
posal OF the water works franchise as
treasurer Bradley is of reelection, we
might conclude to breathe natural
again.
| Geo. W. Chamberlain of Sterling, Ills.
real estate dealer of prominence, VIII,
also has an Office at Chicago, was il
the city several days recently, de
parting for his home Tuesday evening
While here he purchased considera bl,
property in tins city, at Cascade, ant
also bought Mr.. Osmers interest il
Wind Cave. Mr. Chamberlain wa
greatly pleased with this city and it,
prospects. and regards its future a.
exceedingly bright. He expects t,
interest no small amount of eastern
capital in this locality. He lisa rusltel
of no small calibre and we rejoice I,
welcome all such.
| NJ. j. Scanlan and wife came dowl
from Hermosa last Saturday evening
and visited with friends in the cit,
until Monday. Nj. Scanlan is can
didate upon the democratic ticket fo
the legislature from Custer county
and If it were not for the principles h,
represents nothing would please u
more than to see him win. He is
gentleman than whom there is non,
finer; a hardworking successful busines
man, and would without doubt max,
a successful legislator. He feels rathe
sanguine of his election, and it seem
to us that the republicans up ther
have made his race in the campaign a
easy as they possibly could.
While the STAR favored voting bond
for the erection of city hall. and still
would like to see the hail built, ye
water works are of far greater import
ance, and if there is possibility Of tn
city putting in its own water work
the city hall bonds must be voted down
for whatever amount is voted for {
city hall decreases just that much tn
amount that might go into the wate
works. The city is limited in issuin,
bonds; only certain sum can be is
sued, and that will all be needed fo
