Conducting Fine Hotel.

Messrs Bailey and Johnson, the
new proprietors of the Manitou, are
displaying progressive spirit by
furnishing entertainment for their
guests during the Sunday dinner
hour. Not only is the hotel getting
up an excellent Sunday dinner, but
they have arranged with the Mill
house orchestra to furnish a musical
program from 100 to 900 o'clock.
The musical program last Sunday
was comprised of eight numbers,
of solos, marches, waltzes,

and pleasing to the
guests, the large dining hall being
nearly full last Sunday. There is to
be complete change of program
