President and Mrs. Lymer enter
tanned the faculty Wednesday even
ing.
The military company began skir-
mish work this week. The drummer
from the Soldiers Home is expected
down occasionally to give the boys a
taste of drum drill. The company will
soon be ready to march to the aid of
the nation should she need them.
The ball diamond and tennis court
have resumed business and we hope
they may have a steady run till COM
mencement.
The botany class is now studying the
cremation of seeds and has something
of II garden planted in beakers in the
labratory. The peas, ETC., remind one
of an Embellishments head, they
swell SO.
While nothing has been said about
orations for some time we suppose we
shall be compelled to. enjoy some ora
torical flights next week. The embry-
onic orators should not forget that
while they may soar like the eagle they
are apt, like that bird, to come down
and light or the wood pile. So don't
soar unless you keep soaring.
Our base ball boys did we'll in last
Monday nights entertainment in that
they attracted many much needed
shekels into their treasury. Taken al
together the program was a good one
and worthy the large audience which
enjoyed it. The Mandolin club was
unfortunate in its selection of an open
ing number and did not play as it can
play. "Farmer Stebbins at the Came
was we'll rendered by Professor Elliott,
but it was in her second number, $50
was L" that she eNcelled all her past
efforts. giving it with all the spirit and
expression that such a selection re-
quires. Professor Boicourt never plays
a piano solo without delighting her
audience and we do not expect her to
ever do such a thing as fail in either
execution or Interpretation of the piece
she selects forany occasion. She never
has. Professor McDole has sung some
very fine solos since she has been with
us. but she has eve sung anything
SO sweetly. clearly and feelingly as she
sang Spring Song" Monday night.
The song was perfectly adapted to her
voice and brought out its wonderful
sweetness better thananything she had
sung before. j. G. Stanley gave sThe
Raven' very we'll indeed and his ghost
ly costume and equally ghostly quar-
tet of accompanies heightened the eff
feet of this weird poem very much.
The costumes of speaker and gesturers
were admirably arranged. Miss Pin
der again showed her mastery of the
violin by her splendid solo, thus con-
vincing all her hearers that she is a
true violinist. "Sponges" was the sub
ject of a very we'll written paper
by H. H. Cleaver. The program
closed with an indian scene in which
nine dusky braves were holding q
council of war. Their get-up was thor
oughly natural and the speech of the
chief, a parody on "Hiawatha," by
Phillip Kellar, was particularly good.

w. q. FLAT ITEMS.

1t has been quite a while since the
events of the Flat have been chroni-
cled in the columns of the STAR, and
these items are to let your readers
that we still exist.
We are having the most delightful
weather we ever experienced. We be-
gin to realize that spring has come
when we see the farmers sowing the
grain. We cannot boast of our soil be-
ing in the finest shape, like our neigh
Dor scribe from Horsehead, but it is
in nice shape to put to crop, though
we must have some more moisture af-
ter while, either rain or snow.
What we want and need the worst
is the irrigation ditch put in that was
surveyed six or seven years ago and
then we would boast of the finest To-
calities in the west.
w. b. lice has been busy all winter
hauling wood, lumber and fence posts
with which he expects to build about
four miles of fence this spring.
James Morgaridge and Z. II. Mosher
have been putting in grain this week.
Prank Thayer is building a new
house on his father-in-law's place and
will move with his family from the
Sickels place.
Andrew Moshier took some pork to
Hot Springs Friday, with which he en-
riched the county treasury to quite an
extent, paying taxes. He took back
with him Guy Weldon and Julia and
Winnie Mosher, who are attending
school at Hot Springs, for a visit with
their parents over Sunday.
Ben Morgaridge and family came
out to the Flat from Buffalo Gap last
Thursday and stayed all night.
Mrs. Tice and Mrs. Moshier caught
an eagle in a tree last week that meas
ured six feet from tip to tip:
George Comet was in the county
seat paying taxes last week.
There are several Iowa people fixing
to start for the Black Hills soon,
among whom are Thomas Mosier and
William and Isaac Thomas, brothers of
Mrs. Weldon.
After the Sunshine, Snow, Cyclone
and Whirlwind we ought to have a
calm so we will use as a nom de plume
FAIRwEATHER.

CLIMATE.

climate in the minds of those who can
only associate the name Dakota with
extreme heat in summer and extreme
cold in winter. Now the fact is that
but very few people who have not per-
sonally experienced the climate of Da-
kota, can do it justice, but he. who con-
fonnds the climate of the Black Hills
with that of Dakota in general, lacks
that specific information which only
should be the basis of judgment upon
the climate of any place. Likewise he
who confounds the climate of Hot
Springs with that of the Black Hills
region in general, depending upon the
statistics of the weather service accu-
INFLATED at Deadwood, where the SER
vice was located for many years, and
which are used as a basis of reports
contained in the Denison Charts and
other works or climatology, will obtain
but a crude idea of the real conditions
ofclimate which prevail at Hot Springs.
I was skeptical myself regarding the
marked difference which was claimed
by the inhabitants of the place, and
felt that l could only give such testi.
mony for what it was worth, but fortu-
nately I obtained access to a private
diary in which all the important fea-
lures of the weather have b~eeniregular-
" and systematically kept for q period
Of eight years. These records have but
two theometric observations a day,
about sunrise and sunset, so that a
q mean as generally understood can
not be obtained, but the data given
does establish beyond a doubt that the
conditions at Hot Springs are excep-
tional, as comparedt to the Black Hills
country In general. This also estab-
fishes the fact that as a winter climate
Hot Springs corresponds more closely
With that Of the same altitude and lat
ttude hundreds Of miles furthar south,
minus the d~isagreeable winds which
there prevail, and which are here con
sptcuons from their absence.

II is reported that a number of promi-
nent residents of the town of Phoebus

repute in the past six months.

arranged to have the men fed at hotels

when. he understands how much more
comfortably the men can be made In the
armories he is expected to readily con-
sent to so there.
Major Price, the muster-out officer, and
Major Shanks, are each very decidedly in
favor Of quartering the men in the armo-
ries, as there was a great deal of com
paint made because Of the soldiers fail

Will be no ground for such complaints
If the men of the Second are sent TO the
