CANTON. SOUTH DAKOTA. FRIDAY DECEMBER 7. 1894.
Since coming to Canton we have received a splendid patronage from the people, and to show our appreciation of this fact,
.? For the next 30 days, in order to reduce our stock, we have decided to CUT PRICES on all our large stock of
McGraw is one ot the most scholarly gen
tlemen to be found between the Missouri
and Mississippi, and wears his recognized
priestly houors with becoming modesty.
He enjoys a handsome new residence,
steam heated, with electric lights, plan
ned and constructed under the direction
of his personal supervision and has a
large school building uuder construction.
The Unitarians are building a fine new
church, and, indeed, everything that will
give unto the Lord glory through con
sistent christian effort on eafth, is looked
after with a resolute spirit. The old
Congregational, Baptist and Methodist
churches and the Campbellite stone
church still stand as monuments of the
christian spirit that prevailed away back
in 1806-7, when the writer used to go to
church, we may say, quite frequently,
when Charlie Merckle, Editor Wright,
Seth Hall, Warren and Wes Waller,'Wm.
Balch, Judge Reineger and Captain
Humphrey were engaged in studying
Col. Hildreth's history of matrimony.
Those were glorious old days, but the
boys aud girls of that period are nearly
all married.
The most imposing feature of that
beautiful town is the new Hildreth hotel
and opera house, now under the manage
ment of Col. Charles Shaw, the recogniz
ed chief among the hotel princes of° the
state. Many ambitious gentlemen run
hotels but few -'know how," and when
among the few Col. Shaw always pre
sides at the head of the table. He wears
no display of sparkling gems, because
his modest smile and charming presence
reinforced by a facial mould that an
Apollo might envy, says to all, my
house is your castle, abide with me and
share the comforts of„a home, and a home
it is to all. As an Illustration: On the
way down we met a gentleman named
Anderson of a boot and shoe house at
Janesville, Wis., who got on the train at
Garner, fifty miles west. He said: "Yes,
I am going down to spend my Thanks
giving with Col. Shaw. I can afford to
ride 100 miles, there and back, in order
to enjoy a Thanksgiving at the Hildreth."
This is a tribute that any man and any
house can be proud of. But events of
this nature are of every "day occurrence.
The Hildreth and the opera house cost
Col. Hildreth about $83,000, and in the
erection of this grand monument he dis
played a public spirit seldom equalled in
the state, and it was carried on during
the panic of '93.
Col. Shaw extended an invitation to
the Dakota editor through Col. Hildreth,
to partake of the menu last Sunday, and

CHARLES CITY, IOWA.
Its Magnificent Hospitality a* Exempli
fied by Col. Shaw of the Hlldreth.
ITS CHURCHES, PEOPLE, Cc.
The editor skipped a few days from
office work and took a trip down to
Charles City last week to Visit relatives
and renew old friendships in that charm
ing little city on the Cedar. Charles City
is 209 miles east of Canton on the main
line of the Milwaukee, but after a few
days visit there one would think he had
located in a fashionable suburb of the
aristocratic bean eating city by the At
lautic, sometimes called Boston. Our
arrival was expected and therefore the
inmates of the handsome Campbell man
sion were not surprised. The Iowa
Thanksgiving turkey was very nice, but
it didn't seem any more toothsome than
one of our good Lincoln county b.irds.
Thanksgiving day there, as elsewhere,
was observed in due and ancient form,
beginning with the family reunion down
to a grand reception by Father McGraw,
the brilliant and accomplished priest who
prtsides over one of the largest congre
gations in que of the largest and best ar
ranged churches in the state. Father

it was accepted. Mr. and Mrs. Hildreth,
Col. Shaw and the writer were seated in
a corner of the beautiful dining room
overlooking the park. The table was
gorgeous in decoration completed with a
beautiful bouquet of whiteroses. White
is an emblem of purity, and as such runs
the house from kitchen to cupola dome
where two arc lights do duty at night.
As a charming voung lady dressed in
spotless white, buttons, shoes and all,
presented an illustrated menu card, a
band hidden in a nook opened up with a
dreatiiy waltz which proved a fitting ac
companiment to the gorgeous surround
ings and the dark eyes of the maid looked
out across the park as if expecting to
hear something besides music, and she
did. It was "oysters." and the discus
sion of the elaborate bill of fare began,
and the music ceased not until the par'or
was again reached.'
After inspecting Owen hall we w
shown through the steam heating mi
electrical departments under the hou:--.
and from there Engineer Buck escoi
Mr. Hildreth and the writer through u.
opera house, which is simply perfect in
every detail. The house was all illuu.in
ated, then illuminated in part and by
sections, showing a perfect spstem of el
ectrical devices not surpassed anywhere.
The dressing rooms are under the stage,
and are fitted for comfort and conven
ience. The stage appointments and
scenery is not surpassed in any house in
the country. We saw only a few old
friends during our brief visit, among
them. R. M. Waller and family, Col.
Starr, G.: B. Eastman, Capt. Raymoud,
Anson Brackett and family, Chas. Merck
le and sister. Cashier Hull of the First
National, Editor Dyke and Editor Wright
and Mrs. Wright, and Editor Stansberry,
Miss CheHey, Mrs. Hand, aud made head
quarters at Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Camp
bell's. We left Monday at 1 o'clock and
got home at 11 p. m. It was a pleasant
trip with many enjoyable features, chief
of which was the company and welcome
extended by our old friends.
NOT A PASSING CLOUD.
The People's Party is not a passing
cloud on the political sky. It is not a
transient gust of popular discontent
caused by bad crops or hard times. It is
au uprising of principle, and the millions
who have espoused these principles will
not stop until they have become incorpor
ated into the constitution of the govern
ment and the framework of society. The
people's government which is to be estab
lished by the People's Party will rest on
these two principles: 1. No use of public
powers or public property for private
profit. 2. The public have the right to
use public powers for the public welfare
to any extent the public demands. The
first principle is a principle of defense—
to keep for the public all that belongs to
it. The second principle is a principle of
progress—to widen into new benefactions
of wealth and liberty the government
which is the most powerful institution
and has made America the richest coun
try and-the Americans the freest people
in the world. The first principle will
put an end forever to all land grants,
charters to railroads and banks, gifts of
public streets to profit seeking gas, tele
phone and street railway syndicates, all
the gifts of public powers and property
out of which the great ortunes of Amer
ica have been made. The second princi
ple will inspire the people to join their
common efforts'through their common
agent, the government, for the common
good to any extent the public will desires.
