W. W. Not ton visited Hemingford
yesterday,
A delightful time was enjoyed by thu
scholars of the academic class of St.
Agnes academy last Tuesday after
noon. The occasion was in honor of
Miss Beatrice Spencer, otie of the
students who enjoyed the kindness of
her associates at an elaborate evening
dinner. About fifteen young misses,
whose hearts are as light and warm as
the rays of the sun, participated and
we doubt if Mis9 Spencer will ever for
get the delightful occasion. The as
seinbly room was used for the gather
ing, and tlie decorations were artistic
ally arranged by the sisters. Pale
blue and white colors, with carnations
artistically used, lent an inviting ap
pearance to the interior. Games suit
able to young folks and music were
enjoyf d by the guests.

Edward Murphy committed suicide
last- Thursday morning by hanging
himself in the barn on the Ingraham
place at Spottedtail' Springs. Murphy
was seen by the Kellcy mail carrier
coming towards town on foot, and a
report is also current that Murphy had
been accompanied by a friend, who
found onjt that he was in a crazed con
dition and that he intended doing him
self injury, and being unable to dis
suade him, left him and went to Davis'
camp not far away to get help. Mur
phy was seen to go into the Ingraham
barn, and when help from the camp
got there he was found hanging and all
efforts to return him to consciousness
were futile. Murphy had a claim in
Spottedtail valley, and has been for
some time past working with a gang of
men on this branch of the Burlington,
and it is said that he was formerly a
superintendent of bridge construction
on the government canal. His people
are presumed to live at Arcadia, Neb.,.
according to Mr. Whitman of this
place, who wired there informing them
of the fatality. The coroner of Sioux
county was advised of the affair, but
at this writing the inquest has not been
held. Gering Courier.
The saloonkeepers of Sheridan will
probably be forced to pay more money
into the municipal treasury for the
privilege of doing business. A move
is on foot to raise their license from
$600, the amount now paid each year,
to a figure considerably higher, and
the city is expected to settle the ques
tion at its next meeting. Some are in
favor of making the license $1500 a
year, w hile others insist that it should
not exceed $1000. It is rumored that
certain of the salooumen are behind
the move, with a view of crowding out
several of the drink shops. Sheridan

Joel D. Brown of Canton returned
home Wednesday after spending two
weeks in Alliance having a fractured
