There ire aVout-lfcQO hogs sold in the Red Cloud market weekly. A pretty good showing we should judge. The market runs from $5.90 to $0.00. H. and J. L. Miner went to Chicago this week with, cattle. Dame Rumor says that the elder Miner one will wed in Ohi(. before returning to his native heath. The governor has appointed the 16th of April aa Arbor day. Every citizen should make an effort to plant trees on that day, and otherwise .beautify their homes. Messrs. McNenny. Rickards and Chaney were iu Alma this week, argu ing an injunction cae before Judge Gaslm.,, The judge look the case under consideration. The Webster county republican con vention, to be held at the court house, in Red Cloud, has been changed to Monday, Apiil 21, one day earlier than first agreed on. John U. Meyer, onepf our first set tlers in Webster .County, called Satur day. He has tnneled the U. S. over and fcayB he has thefiuest farm of 400 acres in the country. The Chief has been compelled to submit to the measles for a second time during life. Therefore if our lo cal matter is a little scarce our lriends will know the caue thereof. Mr. Hamaker, who is assi&tiug Mr. Gates in buyng hogs, spent three days in Kansas last week. We understand that Mr. H. will soon build a residence in the south part of the city. J F. Close, whom we recently men tioned as being admitted to the bar as practicing attorney, had the best record of any applicant, who has appeared be fore that court for many years. This certainly speaks well for Mr. Close. Mr. C. Halleck from Norton county, Kansas, has located on Dr. Tulley s farm near Red Cloud, and will follow gardening and seed growing. He will aim to furnish this market with all of the luxuries appeitaining to his line of business. Mr. C- W. Fuller, of the firm of Gill ford & Fuller grain and lumberdcalers of Cowles, made us a pleasant call on Saturday. He informed The Chief, that they were doing a flourishing bus iness much more than they had antici pated. Call again Bro. Fuller. Buckeye binder, Buckeye harvest ers, Buckeye combined machine. Buck eye single reapers, Buckeye mowers, Buckeye droppers, Buckeye sprinir cultivators, Buckeye tongueless culti vators, Buckeye fetd mills. Buckeye pumps, for sale by A. A. Pope. John Fox, who lately clerked for A. Lauterbach, while riding a pony, the other day was thrown off, his head com ing in contact with a spade he was car rying. He received an ugly gash just in front of his right ear.but fortunately it will not result in anything serious. Toe Red Cloud Cornet band intend, o we are informed, giving a Mother Hubbard ball soon. This we have no doubtjwould be highly appreciated by the lovers of the lightfantastic, and The Chief, hopes the btud boys will so decide, as we are anxious, to see them succeed. We beiieve that the farmerr sh ould not burn the grass, etc. on the prairie land, as by so doing, we understand from reliable authority, it has the ef fect of absorbing the moisture in the land which does not readily regain. We would liie to hear from our friends on the subject, who'are interested in Web County farms. The fast mail from the east is a very slow mail between Omaha and Red Cloud, the Chicago papers failing to ar rive for three or four days some times. As a general thing being about three days behind their former time. We suppose the clerks at Omaha get so fast (?) that the mail is unnecessarily laid away until they can catch up. The Chief took a ride one day last week to Codman fc Whitney's ranch near Red Cloud, and through the cour tesy of Mr. Tom. Poyner, their worthy foreman we were shown over the pre mises. We must say that the boys are nicely fixed for the sheep business and have some fine stock. They are about building a new house for the accomo date of thoir help . On Sunday, an officer from Missouri, arrived in this city, and assisted by Deputy Sheriff Chambers, arrested one Oscar Klett, who was taken to the above named state on the same eve ning, charged, we understand as an accessor', in betting a building on fire at Trenton, Mo. Young Klett is be tween the age of 16 to 18 years. He proved himself innocent, however, and was released and returned home the other day. Mr. Caleb Kniffen, living near Ina vale, sold ono day last week .a fine hog, weighing 650 pounds, to Mr. Win. Gates, for which he received about $45. This does not look like starving to death in Nebraska, when a man can produce such a specimen of hog meat as that. Mr. Kniffen, a few yeirs since, moved to Nebraska from Mich igan. He is much pleased with the country and would not return to the Wolverine stale. -iii -I' -wMwmmmamrwrmmr?Msnnri c- ' ' "l-li. MMsr-tsnsir-'---'w-,,,--TrLiirBia--- J. M.

Pope. Mr. J. H. Smith, manager of the Red Cloud creamer informed The Chief this week in March thatjhe manufact ured I0S7 pounds of butter, being about four times as muchis was made during the coresponding week of last year. He now gathers cream from Jewel, Smith, Franklin, Nuckolls and Webster counties and territory traversed by the employes in gathering the cream.. 8 about 100 miles per da'. Four'menare now kept on the road. Mr. Ira SLFErER, our carriage man, and his two sons, who at a large ex pense have erected the present Red Cloud carriage works, intend to en large their capacity and enter more evtensively in the business. Such an enterprise as this one should be well supported by the people in Webster and adjoining counties. The Chief hopes they will succeed beyond a per adventure as they justly deserve to. Spring has come and parties corftem plating buying land or improved farms will do well to take time by the ibre- look and close their bargains before the present, ov.rers commence improve ments or farmers commence spring work, for we are under the impression that on or before the firstrof May im proved real estate will advance twenty five per cent. At least inverters from abroad will do well to make their selec tions in time to secure a choice of many of the beautitul homes which abound in Webster the garden -spot of the eve: glorious climate of Nebraska. On last Friday evening. Capt. H.B. Seeley, gave his lecture on ,"lhe battle of Gettysburg and Southern prison life," to a fair audience, although the night was vciy unfavorable. The lecture was forcible, logical and enter taining and those who were not present missed the .best lecture that has ever been delivered in Red Cloud. Gar field Post are to be congratulated on securing his "ervices as should Mr. Seeley ever retutn he will draw a good house. The CniEF did intend to give a synopsis of the speach but the Cap tain was unable to give it to us. being called away sooner than he anticipat ed. On Wednesday two gentlemen, Messrs Clongh fc Co. of Onhkosh, Wis., were in Red Cloud, looking up a location to start an iron pump iactorv. iHE Chief himelf did not see the gentle men from the fact that the "measley measles" had him d wn, but to one of our braves, they remarked that they thought this a favorable point and would return again in a few days. Now let the citizens see -what can lie done for the enterprise. It would certainly be a great bonanza for our city, and no better place could be found anywhere for such au institution, as this would in all probability be. Let the business men see what it will take to secure the pump factory. Fresh milch cows and " stock hogs, for sale. Call on or address, Joseph Fogle, Red Cloud, Neb.

We notice in the article "From In avale to Blue Hill" that I. O. Walker and F. B. Smith, of Inavale, are spok en of as "Profs. Walker and Smith," while the Red Cloud and Inavale ladies who attend the -association are called "others." Of what are they profess ors? It cannot be of religion, for if that was the case Mr. Smith would not wastehis "substance" in buying circus song books and other literature of like nature. If the Inavale delegation is "dead broke" please notify us through the columns of the county papers, and we will ask the Blue Hill mite society to be charitable enough to donate to them a sum sufficient to ' pay the ne cessar' expenses of their trip to Blue Hill. The dime literature purchased at that time is not. of course, consider ed as a necessary item of expenditure. We have observed that those persons who are accustomed to dining upon corn bread and sorghum molasses are the very ones who find the most fault when away frompiome ; not being fa milar with the articles of food found on the tables of a first-class hotel they do not know herring from oysters, pork from mutton, or sweet-potatoes from carrots. We do not think that the Inavale correspondent willfully misrepresented thelinner of which he partook at Blue Hill, but in this par ticular sinned through ignorance, not malice. The judges of debate did de cide that Mr. Smith, of Inavale, pre sented the stronger arguments, but we do not think that there were three other persons in the room who would have decided thus. In iact, we know that the audience were suprised and indignant at so unjust a decision. Mr. Watkins' speech was clear, concise, logical and gentlemanly. Mr. Smith violated repeatedly, while talking, all the rules of grmnma-r and rhetoric. His discourse wag extremely discour teous and ungentlemanly. We think the audience was "spell-bound" during Mr. Smith's last speech, but it was his effrontery in claiming a second speech, not his eloquence that bound them. The persons who saw Mr. Smith pur chasing yellow covered books supposed him to be a member of a negro min strel troupe and could hardly be per suaded to believe that he was a teach er and a famous (?) debator.

I. was somewhat astonished to-day as Inroad along to see so much improve ments going on. There are quite a a number of hou,es, barns, and corn cribs, that-are ; going up in our neigh borhood. If the farmers want good seed corn they will find it at Wm. Longbothems, he says he knows it will grow. Samuel. S.had to treat the G. A. R. boys at BluerHtil, Saturday night to the cigars.

Uncle Johny Coon says he will not tend a large crop as he intended on braking some on his own farm this season. Uncle Johny is agood farm er, and they say he was a good sol dier and we should honor all men that fought (of this government. There was talk of loosing our post-office but guess it was only a flying re port. We hope so at least, for wejiave a good postmaster at ptesent.

BULWER LYTTON'3 'BRIDGE. Where it Touches the Stare andUke Grtat Columns in Midtlrtttm. 'What a beautiful taridgv bejwyb old age and childhood is religions' fmw-, intuitively the child begins with prftvdr and worship on entering life, and hoW intuitively, on quitting life; the old man turns back to prayer and worship, putting himself again side bv side with the infant," remarks Sir- & Bulwer' Lytton, in his "Strange Story." Yes, but between its distant abut' ments the bridge of life has many high1 and awful arches, through which the wild waters dash and roar in wrath and desolation. Prayer and worship alone do not sustain these Nature's solid rocks must lie unshaken benea-fh, and human art and skill must rear anil solidify the structure overhead. God's will is best exemplified in the laws He has made for the crcutures whom He has placed under their control. Neither the cfciWs trustful "Our Father," nor the old roan's "Forget me not m the midst of mine infirmities" will alter' this by the weight of a single grain.
