As was anticipated, the cit
election to-day is passing off very
quietly, and as there is but one
ticket in the field, the vote will
probably be much lighter than
usual.- Those j who are opposed to
the ticket will probably not go near
the polls.
Doc. Middleton. who is more or
less known in Korth Platte, has
started east in company witn sev
eral capitalists with whom he will

In March, 1882, we had only .04

show that the following months
had plenty precipitation, viz: April
had 1.94, May 3.98, June 4.84, July
2.65, and August 1.68 inches. As
March, 1895, comes next in the least

In speaking of the death of A. E.
Reynolds, the Westville, (Irid.) In
dicator says: Anderson Reynolds
was taken sick Friday with bowel
trouble and grew steadily worse
until Sunday, when his condition
became so alarming that it was
decided to resort to an operation as
a last hope. This was successfully
accomplished but peritonitus was
discovered and it was too late to
save the patient. Inflammation had
set in and he expired about three
o'clock Monday afternoon.
There has been more or less
controversy among local weather
prophets as to whether the present
new moon is a "wet" or "dry" one.
Some insist that it is dry, because
it will hold water and therefore
verT little will be spilled out to
refresh the earth. On the other
hand some hold, with the Indian,
that if the powder horn can be hung
on the point of the moon it might
as well be hung there, as it. will be
too wet for hunting. The reader
takes his choice, and the weather
will go ahead and do just as it
pleases.
Perhaps those who were
on the streets Monday evening
wondered what crowd of merry
young folks passed by in a hay rack
about 7:30 o'clock. We state that
it was the Senior Class of '95 on
their way to the Osgood ranch
where the class meeting was held.
The usual plan of meeting was car
ried out to the fullest extent; then
the time for departure having ar
rived, they again boarded the hay
rack, but with regret-that the time
had passed so rapidly, as they were
so delightfully entertained by Miss
Charlotte Osgood, assisted bv Miss 5
