Local notices and travels in this Saturday city
The town buzzes with visitors from Lewis and Anita and mentions of Cady to view the International Cyclopedia. Several residents recover from illnesses while others travel to Cripple Creek for mining interests and Des Moines for visits.

The community faces a few injuries, a few lost items returned, and a Daughters of Rebekah officer slate, with church ladies hosting a carpet gift and a Chicago Lady Quartette performance delighting Congregational church patrons.
