MANY
 COM

Thursday at noon the people from the creeks began to flock to the city in order to spend Christ mas here and enjoy the big dance that evening. They came in many different styles walking, dogteams, horses, etc., but prob. ably the most noteworthy rig was that used to convey the ladies of Sullivan to the city which was a small sleigh drawn by the famous cayuse Rats. " This outfit created a sensation wherever it appeared and was the cause of much merriment.
 1t is probable that at least 150 visitors were in Hot Springs en- toying themselves.

Anxiously
 Awaited For

Thursday the question of first impor- tance and of greatest interest to the ladies of Hot Springs was "Is Cow Mil Ter here yet?" Never was the arrival ,of man more anxi0usly awaited by g community and not q chance was over- looked by any woman to gain inform. - tion as to the whereabouts of that gen. tleman.
 On the stage which arrived last Sat nrday there were several more passen- gers than usual. which made the load so heavy that it was impossible to carry the large amount of express of fered, which consisted: largely of the Christmas gifts for most of the citizens of this city, and it was turned over to MT. Miller who was coming down with a load of freight for some Sullivan miners.
 1t was promised that Mir. Miller would arrive here on Monday evening and consequently his non-appearance was the cause of much worry to all who were expecting packages as it was feared he would not arrive in time for Chriftmas.
 However since the "express" has ar- rived the ladies have forgotten their worries and are now happy in admiring the many beautiful things which Santa Claus Cow Miller brought to them.

Coming of
 MT. Kelly

MT. Kelly, the well-known old-timer, mariner and pr0spector, came to Hot Springs last Monday to transact lot of business in the recorders office. He reports that during the early part of the winter he was representing some of his properties on the Yukon flats, and later strengthened some tangled business affairs in Tanana town. Mr. Kelly spent portion of last summer in the Innoko country, where he did pros. pecting and also acted as leading sales man in the ribbon department of Cor don's mammoth store. On his depar- ture from that country Mir. Kelly very acceptably filled two very prominent and responsible positions aboard the sfast and commodious" steamer "All Nation" (Tom La Mar, master)-that of first officer of the deck and boxing in- structor. That Mir. Kelly made good in dual capacity is unprecedented.

Several outfits left Fairbanks re- gently for Slate creek on the Totalina river which enters the Tolavana river some six or eight miles above the juno. tion of the latter with the Chatanika. There seems to have been mild stam- pede in this direction, but from all that can be learned there seems to be no ground for it beyond the fact that quite large prospecting plant was moved over there some time ago Miners Union Bulletin.

YOUNG COUPLE HOPE
IN THE EARLY MORN
HARRY WADD AND HAZEL BENE
DICT SEEK WILLING JUDGE.

An elopment, as romantic as any of
old was successfully carried out in
the early hours of Monday morning
when Miss Hazel Benedict, a daugh-
ter of George Benedict, slipped from
the parental Madison county home
west of Norfolk and finding Harry
Wadd, also of the Benedict neighbor-
hood, awaiting according to arrange
ment, jumped in a buggy and was
driven across the county line in
search of a marriage license and a
willing judge.
With the coming of daylight the
Benedict house was astir. Then the
sixteen-year-old daughter was missed
Local officers were called up and the
alarm given.
The county judges of Madison,
Stanton and Pierce counties were
notified. So when young Mr.. Wadd
raped at the Pierce judges door that
officer was prepared.
Wadd did not wait to argue with
the Judge. He left the court house
and disappeared. 1t was believed that
the young couple had turned theil
horses towards Wayne.
When Mr.. Benedict heard of the
determination of the young people he
threw up his hands. He declared thai
he and his wife would probably con
sent to the marriage under the cir
cumstances. No objection has beer
made on account of the young maj
but solely on account of the tender
years of the daughter.
Harry Wadd is twenty-five, Miss
Benedict sixteen.

New York, Aug. 15.-What New
York wants, and, for that matter, Chi
cago and Boston, and, perhaps, Ko-
komo, too, is the "zippy show, says
George AIDE. For this reason 1t is
possible that we have temporarily
been deprived of the George AIDE Kay,
says the author, because, after writ
ing "The County Chairman" and THE
College Widow" he finds himself this
season concocting "zippy shows"
1t is a form of entertainment that
has disqualified Ibsen and Sudermann
and Materlinck, and all those high
brows of the drama.
The Sultan of Sulu," the author
says, "was nothing much until 1t was
manicured and massaged before 1t
came into New York. Then 1t became
'zippy,' and it was success"
George AIDES private and personal
opinion of the "zippy show" is not
intellectual. 1t will not even bear
comparison with some of the opinions
of the American dramatists' club, that
are right from the shoulder and un'
equivocal.
you've not been playwriting much,
lately?" AIDE was asked.
"A play is something that grows,
and | may have been sowing seeds;
but nothing sprouting so far"
