Snow-Church Review.

The Snow-Church Company's weekly
review Of trade says: 1t Is difhcult 10
detect any change in current business.
PROSPECTS, for business after January lst
are quite generally considered more hope
full; in some branches there are larger
orders. and shipments Of merchandise are
a little larger. But the workng-force
naturally diminishes near the end OF the
wear. and the holiday traffic brings JUST
now temporary activity which Is not
of much general significance. The meeting
of Congress, and the announcement or the
new currency plan. and Of various biiis
proposed. have not affected the situation
perceptibly. Agricultural products are
scarcely stronger. and wages OF labor 90
not advance, but there Is reason TO ex-
pect the employment OF somewhat
larger working force after the holidays.
The boot and shoe business Is In an I'M
settled condition. The prospect OF an ad-
vance from IL cents TO IL cents per
pair on shoes has acted as stimulus 10
buyers to place large orders: larger, prob
abiv than they would had no increase Oh
price been meditated.
The effect Of the reduction In steel rails
for 1895 cannot be measured as YET
though there are several inquiries In for
round lots. Car and locomotive-ouiiding
is more active, and the prospects In these
directions are much more encouraging

cHRlSTMAS-TREE entertainment.
Hundreds OF Children Made Happy at the
Theatre Yesterday Afternoon.

Theatre Yesterday Afternoon.
The Christmas entertainment at the
Richmond Theatre yesterday afternoon
for the benefit Of the Free Kindergarten
and the Male Orphan Asylum was a
splendid success financially, and a source
of much enjoyment to the large audience
of ladies' and children who attended 1t.
The playhouse was packed-packed
with little ones and their maternal rela-
tives, or other grown ones a little less
dear TO them. From the right-hand
proscenium- Governor and Mrs. OFFER
rail- and three of their little daughters
witnessed the performance. The pro-
gramme was typically a Christmas one,
opening with the overture, MERRY Christ
mas" by Professor STEMS Orchestra,
which had proffered its services for the
occasion free of cost This was followed
by a most intricate and interesting drill
by the boys Of the Orphan Asylum. The
lads were in gay uniform. and carried
flags, and they executed the movements
with much grace and skill. There was
then a kindergarten drill by the pupils
of Miss A. NJ. Stevenson's class in Miss
Robinson's school. This was participated
In by about thirty very small girls and
boys, who sang and recited to the amuse-
ment and delight OF the vast audience OF
Juveniles. The tableau "The Night
Before Christmas was very vivid and
realistic. 1t was succeeded by the ar
rival OF Santa Claus, the Christmastree.
and the presentation of the gifts to the
children. Hundreds OF little folks went
away from the Theatre brighu.and happy
indeed.
The interior OF the playhouse. which
had been furnished by Mr.. Leath gratis,
had been beautifully and tastefully deco
rated by Mr.. Mitteidorfer at no expense
to the ladies giving the entertainment.

The three first counties in the
State to elect delegates to the Re-
publican State convention have de-
clared in unmistakable terms in
favor of the editor of the UNION
for State Auditor. It takes more
than one swallow to make a sum-
mer. But we would rather have
the Endorsement Of the home coun-
ties-the counties where we are
personally known to a majority of
the voters be defeated, than
be nominated and have them
against us. TO our loyal friends
in Grow Wing, Anoka and Mile
Laos counties we return our most
sincere thanks.

MINNEAPOLIS Penny Press: The
story published by Ignatius Don
nelly in the Representative and re-
published in last nights Penny
Press that an ex-State auditor had
obtained $250,000 for land origin
ally owned by the State, should
receive immediate official investi-
cation. There are many things
connected with the Mesaba land
leases which would bear inquiry
at the same time. A searchlight
that will 60 to the bottom of
things IS wanted and would be of
excellent service to the State
financially and otherwise. There
has hitherto been too much secrecy
in State boards and State officers.
