To the Citizen Republican
and Other Friends:

uGual, atmospheric, and other, ex-
plosions before the opening Of the
heated eason WAS too much for
Dame Nature and summer and
the Fourth of July are turaed
loose on us together. This is prac-
%tically the end of the winter sea.
son, | suspect, as we have now
concluded that the practice of
lighting the gas stoves to var up
in the evenings has come to an
end and we may now expect the
flea and fly season to give us all
the exercise necessary to stimulate
a warmth that we will be praying
until winter begins again to be
well rid of. Winter | do not
mean frost and zero and snowy
winters blast, such as we are ac-
customed to in The middle west,
but alternate days of delightful
sunshine and heavy fogs, or clouds /;
days of balmy breezes, blooming
flowers and singing birds, etc., etc.
We are getting ready to have a
big time tomorrow. The beach re-
sorts, Ocean Park and Venice to
the south of us but two or three
miles, and the Canyon, Tent City
and mountain resort to the north,
about a mile, recently set in order,
are making a strong bid for Los
Angeles to pour out a goodly mum
Der of her three hundred thousand
people, over the traction lines, that
are ample to accommodate them,
along the sea shore and in the
mountain, where the health giving
air is running a race with the med
ical fraternity, but the grave yard,
as in other places, as often beating
them both.
| learned with deep sorrow of
the death of my friend, Colonel
Parker of Deadwood. The Colonel
was one of the choicest spirits |
have I'VE had the pleasure of asso
ciating with. He was congeniality
itself. How | loved his compan-
ionship Brave as a lion, tender
and gentle as a child and the soul
OF politeness. His was one of the
sparklingly bright legal minds that
surprised you by its clear and clean
cut discrimination. Poor Colonel!
He will live long and affectionately
in the memory Of his former com
panions both in peace and in war
but he has joined a goodly and a
noble company Judges Kidder,

One who has enjoyed the friend

entered SO largely into the life Of
Dakota Territory and that Of
South Dakota, tannot but find it
IN his heart to think with Tom
Moore as be plucks ssthe last rose
of summer" and says:
Thus kindly ! scatter thy leaves DER
the bed
uly ioNeiy companions lie
scentiess and dead.
Thus soon may / follow when friend
strips decay.
from life's shining circle the
gems drop away.
Oh! Who would inhabit this bleak
world alone?
true hearts lie withered, and
fond ones have flown.
