Mr.. Walton and a young lady took
| a canter over the prairies on horseback
last Saturday. This is not meant for
a news item but rather to fiji up space.
Mr.. Daniels took a walk into the
country Sunday afternoon. While
gone he evidently came to the conclu.
sion that it is not we'll for nan to be
alone; any way he did not return
alone and she was not a country cousin
either.
The chapel was crowded Sunday
afternoon with people who assembled
to hear the Sunday School Easter exer-
cises, ali of which were nicely carried
out. Hot Springs Sunday school col
lection was the largest taken up in the
Black Hills Mission.
A nice little company Of the citizens
of the town gathered to hear DR.. Read
ing lecture Wednesday morning. He
spoke at some length on the choice of
professions. He has a pleasing ad-
dress, kind expression aud the advice
| given could but be taken as the very
best. We had a personal interview
with him and he reports that the work
accomplished by President Hancher at
Sundance was very gratifying and
will not only be of future benefit but
also present and that there will he
students from there next year. Presi-
dent Hancher preached Sunday morn
ing and evening and lectured three
times on education, temperance, etc.
On account of the bad weather, and
for several other causes the program
was not carried out at society last Fri
day night. The question as to the
suspension of the constitution in re-
gard to the program arose and created
quite a heated discussion. The presi
dent. having introduced the idea, made
a strong fight for it as a matter O
course. Two votes were taken ant
the question was lost. After recess
the motion was reconsidered and CARR
ed. An amendment to the same enfec
will he voted upon at the next meeting
and will no doubt, be pretty fully dis
cussed as it is a matter that concern
the future of the society. This is thu
first amendment introduced since thos'
proposed by the faculty during TIN
first month. The question is as t.
whether Loo much attention is giver
to the debates and not enough to othe
literary work. The matter of curtain
ing the.hall and of appointing a Ii
brary committee was also discussed
and it is probable that favorable actio,
will be taken on both. AT the mex
session there will be no extemporane
Gus debate, while the regular debat
will be dispensed with May 9th.
