Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1892-04-01

The STAR will be very thankful for
society notes in the city. Also for
any items of interest, or notices of
personal arrivals and departures. Ii
a friend is visiting with you, or you
expect one, or one has been, we will
esteem it a favor for u notice of the
fact.
Attorney Appelget returned from
Tecumseh yesterday morning. While
there he was called upon to part with
his Youngest son Clarence, who was
stricken down with that dread disease,
diphtheria. In their sad bereavement
Judge Appslget and family have the
sympathy of their many friends here.
Miss Ida Terrill, who has been EN-.
ployed for the past six months on the
composing force of the Pioneer, left
yesterday for Hot Springs where she
will visit week before leaving for
Colorado Springs, Col, to permanent
ly reside. Miss Terrill has made a
large number of friends during her
stay in the city, who deeply regret her
departure.--Pioneer.
The audience that greeted Newton
Beers last Wednesday night was not
very large and probably several of
those who did attend were Slightly
disappointed. "Eloped with Circus
Girl" is highly amusing comedy
satire, but the troupe night before last
hardly did the play or themselves JUS
tice. MIR. Beers as "Dawdleasy Neal
lister" performed his part very we'll
and had some of his support been
stronger he would have been much
more appreciated. On the whole the
acting was fair. though not so good as
Hot Springs people had expected from
Mr.. Beers.
In another column the STAR pub
fishes some criticisms that contrlbu-
tor has seen fit to pass upon the drain.
age system at the Soldiers hone. 1t
is candidIy confessed that the STAR
man has not made a personal investi-
CATION and hence does not presume to
pass Judgment. If there is another
side to the matter we shall be glad to
give its exponents an opportunity to
state it. In general the STAR invites
any and everybody to express his in
dividual opinions upon any question of
public Importance. Discussion of all
matters affecting the welfare of the
city is freely invited. Our principal
object is to aid IN upbuilding this CITY
and we want the citizens to use the
columns of this paper in any manner,
conducive to that end.
