A Business Change

Our readers will be somewhat sur.
prised to learn that Col. NJ. s. James
has sold out the Minnekahta Cash store
to j. G. Richer & Co., who took
possession Immediately. The colonel
has been one Of onr most active bust.
ness men and has talked Hot Springs
incessantly ever since he came to the
place. He has not made up his mind
what he will do, but may not remove
from the city. To the new firm, the
STAR extends a welcome and the best
wishes for their success. Mr.. Richer
has had large experience in the mer-
camille business and has the energy
and push necessary to insure good
business. We congratulate the new
firm, and while we do not know who
the "Company" is, we bespeak for
them good business and ultimate
prosperity.

THE THIRD anniversary
A Happy Time at the Soldiers Home
Saturday Evening.
CELEBRATION OF ITS OPENING
Speeches, Music, Songs and supper-Every-
Isoty Well Entertainetl.

About two hundred people accepted
the general invitation to be present at
the Soldiers home Saturday evening
to participate in the festivities of the
third annual celebration of the OPEN
ing Of that grand state institution.
Silas A. Strickland Post, G. A. r.,
and the Woman's Relief Corps ar
ranged an elegant oyster supper, with
delicate cakes, rich coffee and every
thing inviting. Shortly after this ex-
cellent supper the chapel was more
than filled, when Commandant Megrew
extended hearty welcome to all, and
announced President Hancher for an
address.
The president was prepared, as he
always is, to entertain the audience in
a magnificent manner. He spoke
mainly on the word Home that
that sacred word meant, all the pleas
ant and all the sad memories that the
mere mention of the name recalled.
He said that home was what the FAM
lily make it-either heaven or the re-
verse; that the Soldiers home was
what its members make it. His re-
marks were appropriate, eloquent and
impressive and greatly enjoyed by the
audience.
Congressman Lucas followed with
an interesting address, giving brief
history Of the origin Of having Sol
diers' Home in this state; how it was
labored for by the G. A. R. and others,
and how it was finally located here. II
will be remembered that Mr.. Lucas
was the first commandant Aof the
Home, and he described how he
with ten members took the first meal
at the Home three years ago on that
day. 1t was Thanksgiving day, the
furniture had not arrived, and those
eleven old comrades ate their Thanks
giving dinner in the engine room on
some boards placed upon couple Of
barrels, expressing devout thanks that
they lived in state that furnished
them with place that was to make
for them such magnificent home.
His army experiences, his anecdote, his
final eloquent appeal to the comrades
to be true and kind. and thoughtful of
one to another as they were during the
fearful days Of the war, was well re-
ceived.
Beth speakers were loudly and fire.
quently applauded. The music by
Noodle Bros, Sackette and Mueller
was much enjoyed while the solo by
Maj. Eaton and the duet by Mai. Eaton
and Miss Daisy Warren were beauti-
full.
Capt. Megrew read a very interest
ing letter from Col. Clough, president
Of the board of IN lnagers of the Home,
who was detained at his home by SICK
ness in the family.
The exercises of the evening closed
by all uniting in singing something
about "John Browns Body 1t was
an occasion of enjoyment that will not
soon be FORGOTTEN bv those nresant
