BI.BI A COMPLETE SUCCESS.

Bib, given under the auspices
Of the Ladies' Of the Presbyterian
church in this city last Thursday
might, was attended by a large
crowd, $178 being the proceeds.
The ladies receive half OF this
amount, the money to be used in
1buying new pews for the church.
The play is a very pretty thing
in itself, and was put on admir-
ably by the best local talent.
Miss Champlin acted the part OF
Bi-Bi the French doll to perfec-
ton. The first scene was the
shop OF Gluepot the toyman-Ar-
thur Metcalf. Twenty or more
dolls adorned shop. Sylvania, a
retired fairy Miss Ruby Robbins,
succeeded in waking the dolls by
the use Of smelling salts. Prince
Caramel, a gentleman-Mr. Rip
icy, fell in love with Bi-bi, but
the man in the moon-John Mac
Kay, came down and induced her
,t0SN.ke q trip with him. The
.SaM. man-Dr. Storey, succeeded
in restoring the dolls to their
natural state. His singing at
the opening and closing Of the
play was superb. The duet by
John Mackay and Miss Cham
pin deserves special mention.
Mr.. Mackay has q strong sweet
tenor voice and Miss Champlin
possesses q lovely soprano.
The drills by the jumping jacks
were well received. Miss Dolly
Cooper's solo accompanying the
acts OF the animals, was very
well rendered. Miss Sarah Muir
ray was extremely funny in her
specialties. She was dressed as
a coon and played her part to
the entire satisfaction OF every
one in the house.
Mrs. Judge Murray, who has
had much to do in making the
entertainment the great success
which it was-wishes to thank all
who took part in it. She express
ses her thanks to the members OF
the orchestra, who played with
out charge-to Mr.. Jacobson
who was very liberal in his
charges for the opera house, and
to Miss Winnifred Odell, the
pianist.

"What a Smart Town You Have

Minot was visited BY James j.
Hill Friday night, and that i'm
pOrtant parsonage voluntarily
promised us that new depot
which we have been looking for
with longing eyes for many
moons. Jim was on his way to
the coast. Just to see the road as
he said, he had not been over it
since last winter. He stepped
out of his elegant palace car
amid the great throng Of people
who had gathered there to see
him. Dressed in a grey travel
ing suit and a smallcap to match
he never seemed more iovial.
Walking up the platform, he
gazed up main street und said:
aWhat a smart town YOU have,
my old town; how many people
have you here. l am going to
give you a new depot over near
that junction, and we will use
that old depot for a freight
house." How about the strike?
sOh that is all settled; wecannot
afford to have a strike. Wehave
men who have been raised with
the road and we want to keep
them" His eyes had the pecul-
lar sparkle characteristic OF the
man who never says anything
but what is worth listening to.
A dirtyfaced employeeof the G.
N. who soiled his complexion
toiling for Mr.. Hill, came up and
extended his rous hand to him.
Hill said, "Who are you? To
the amusement OF the crowd he
replied; sWhy don't you know kn1so J,
me? / work for you over here. /"
The railroad magnate soon re-
entered his car and bade fare
we'll to MinOt.
