the Grand hotel is making an effort to
put the place on good substantial
basis as far as it is in his power and
he IS succeeding nicely. Those who
have had the pleasure of staying with
him speak:well of the treatment they
receive and of the meals, which is the
principal part Of the success of a
hotel. PHI Moen, the new owner of
the place has become quite attached to
this city and it is said that he will
move his family here and make this.
his home. There is no reason why the
Grand hotel should not be made "a
paying investment, and it depends
mostly upon the manager.
Eugene Koehler has leased the Geb-
ser building which was last occupied
by Held Bros. and will soon move his
barber shop to that place. This is
made necessary because OF the uncer-
tainty of his having to move on account
OF the lndecision of the, owner of the
property where he now is to build.
Mr.. Olsen has had an ambition to
erect a new building on the corner
where the barber shop now is for
several years, and while he has not
decided the matter up to this time there
IS a strong probability that. he will do
something in the matter this summer
and Mr.. Koehler does not care to be
out of place in which to move.
At recent meeting of the members
OF the Turnverein the question of de-
corating the interior of the theatre was
taken up an decided. During the sum-
mer the entire inside will be complete
~ finished and the walls painted and
decorated in manner that will eclipse
anything OF its kind in the state. While
the patronage of the theatre has not
demonstrated that the investment of
more money is warranted. the society
is hopeful that with improved condi-
tions the place will be attractive to
more people than it has been hereto
fore. The work will be done by Heller
& Gag, which in itself is a guarantee
that the work will be done in a salts
factory manner.
Wednesday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
John Hen le were treated to succession
Of surprises,at their home. 1t was the
occasion of the anniversary of Mr..
Henle's birthday and the members of
the Second Regiment band knowing
this, marched in on him with martial
music and the genial John surrendered
to them with the best of grace They
had hardly settled themselves to enjoy
the evening before the left wing of the
invaders appeared, the "Palmgarten
band, = and opened serenade. Fol-
lowing them came the Alvin choir,
and it is needless to state that when an
aggregation of jolly fellows like these
get together at a place like that of
John Henle's there is something doing
all the time.
The widows of veterans of the civil
war who were subpoenaed to appear
in court as witnesses for the govern
ment against the cattle men who were
instrumental in getting them to file on
land in South Dakota, leave today for
Sioux Falls. 1t appears that there is
reason to believe that there was no in
territorial fraud in the matter and the
work of the cattlemen was based of the
ruling of department. that it was not
necessary for widows of soldiers of the
civil war to reside on the property
filed upon, but a later ruling of the
department under new secretary re-
verses the decision and whether the
cattle men were aware of this or not
does not appear and it is probably on
this ground that the defense will be
established.
There is a spectacle on the Cotton
| wood river at the Bentzin dam which
has been witnessed for several years
passed by number of people of the
city With a great deal OF pleasure, it is
the passing of the ice over the dam.
at the breaking up in the spring. Sun.
day this event took placewi thits usual
spectacular accompaniment and was
witnessed by a large number of people.
The ice from up the river crowding
down under the ice on the mill pond
keeps continually raising it and fore
ing the water back until there is pres
sure enough to send it over the dam.
when it creeps along like small gla-
cler until far enough out to break off
and fall with splash into the water
below. The breaking up of the ice on
the river is watched for each year with
a great deal of fascination by those
who live near there.
