ward will be paid for return of same to
STAR office.
Lloyd Boomer is home again from
Iowa and is very much provoked that
he could not remain at school on ac.
count of his eyes.
Owing to the crowded condition OF
our columns, this week, the matter fur.
nished by ladies of the w. G. 7. U. will
necessarily have to be omitted.
w. a. Wheeler completed the sale of
lot 6, block Z, Cold Spring addition; Jas
Reynolds to Cyrus E. March. We can
hardly tell whether this means another
wedding or not.
George McPheeters, 13.year-old
boy of this city has raised a pumpkin
that measures 591sx471s inches and
weighs 40 pounds. It is monster and
the boy will enter it for prize offered
by some agriculture society.
w. A. Gray, the efficient cook at Rog-
er's One Minute Coffee house, is all
smiles in consequence of a fine pair of
twins having been presented to him by
his wife today. All doing we'll, and the
STAR offers sincerest congratulations.
T. w. LaFleiche came down from
Belle Fourche the latter part of the
week and is making arrangements to
move his family to their new home.
He says he has walk away for states
attorney on the populist ticket.
T. V. Roe, of Tarrytown, N. Y, brother
of VIM. Roe, who is said to have run
away with the Young girls, arrived this
morning to make some investigation
of the affair and to look after his
brothers family. He is stopping at the
Mower.
Russell Thorpe came over from Edge
mont Sunday, but has not yet decided
whether he will accept the empty hon
ors of the democratic nomination for
representative, when defeat stares him
in the face when pitted against the re-
publican nominee.
Martin Morrissey, the Chadron stone
cutter came up this morning to make
arrangements for going with the force
of cutters at this place to work on the
|Sheridan, Wyo., court house building.
They will take their leave Wednesday
or Thursday, though some of them go
to Edremont thiS evening
Ira p. Highly who has done such
efficient work as manager of the Evans
hotel during the past summer, has
severed his connection with that insti-
tuition and will shortly take his leave
with his family for Omaha. AS an all
round hotel man he has few superiors
and the STAR is sorry to see him leave
town.
Richard Standen's family is now
stopping at the Minnelusa. but will
shortly take up their residence in the
house occupied by w. L. Judkins.
They were disappointed in getting the
Parks house. They will be quite an
addition to Hot Springs as there are
five of them and the STAR bids them a
hearty welcome.
j. L. Burke left Sunday evening for
Sioux City. where he goes to figure OH
Il contract for furnishing stone for
a large building. We hope he may be
successful. for the more of such enter
prises we have in active operation the
more prosperous will be our COM
munity. and John is hustler after
business of that kind.
S. B. Colson who has spent his sum-
mers here for the past 3 years left for
his home in Fremont Saturday night.
He is greatly missed from the circle of
the Evans guests as he is a good con-
versationalist. a capital hand at whist
or high five and Il agentleman more than
ordinary ability and unusual good
spirit for one of his age. We hope to
see him again next season.
| jeff Askins. one of the old timers. is
back in the city. He has been cooking
for the railroad graders on the Hay
creek coal mine extension, but after his
layoff of six days will go with the gang
to the Billings extension where they
will do the sllrfacing on that new line
and it will take them nearly n year as
they expect to put the track in elegant
shape. Jeffs many friends are glad
to see him back again.
The county commissioners expected
to select the judges and clerks of elec-
tion for the several precincts at this
meeting. but they find that under the
new law they cannot do so before 30
days preceding the election and they
will probably have to adjourn till next
Monday for that purpose. Then it will
give the chairmen of the several com.
mitteemen time to present the
name of their candidate for Judge of
election. as the law says there must be
one for each party having ticket in
