Scammon, janitor of our public schools, that his brother, R. G. Scam mon, died at Los Gatos, California, April 12. Several prairie fires were net on last Sunday niiilo tho wind waa blowing a gale. It seems to us a careless thing to do, especially so when the wind is blowing hard. Ti'E farmers of Webster and adjoin ing countios, we believe, should raise more white corn. H seems that there will be a better demand for that kind of corn iu the market. Ey-Govf.rnor St. John, of Kansas, will lecture in the opora. house on the 27th of this month. Everybody in vited to hear the governor on the subject of temperance. The roads between Red Cloud and Amboy aro in very bad shape. We hope our friend Cox will got out his gang of men and repair the road be fore our next trip to Amboy. We noticed Sam Miller and Friz Richardson very hard at work one day this week while- enroute to Amboy. This is something unusual for Hoosiers and The Chief does not know just how to account for this breach of In diana ottiquette. The Rock Island survoyors are now engaged, we understand in locating their lino .o Red Cloud, and ere many more moons we expect that the corps will be in Red Cloud, and lator on we will hear the whistle announcing the fact that the trains are beginning to move. Mr. I. Frisrie had quite an accident the other daw It seems that he was at the depot when the switch engine came puffins; up, frightening his team, and in the attempt to get away both horses fell, one of which got badly cut un and will not be able to work for several weeks. Tiu wt-ek we hear of sevoial farmers who have been woefully bitten by foreign lightning rod agents. It cast two men in Garfield township about $100 each to get their houses roddod. The best way is to let these fellows severely alone and patronize county agents who reside here. Beware, and don't get your tinkers burned. Frvnk Gump and L. IT. Wallace went on a piscatorial tour Tuesday. They had the usual fisherman's luck, added to which they had the experi ence of having their team run away, leaving them on the river bank with tho beautiful prospect of an extended walk to the city. The horses were eaught, however, and after many trials they arrived in the city at a little aftei dark. Fred Bentley held a chattel mort gage on some Kansas horses, and after the time had expired and the man or money tailed to materialize, Fred and and Charley Winfrey went inf that state and brought the horses to Red Cloud. The owner of the nags came over into God's country and swore out replevin papers, and Sheriff Scott exe cuted the same, returning the horse to the Kansas man according to law, and after he had furnished a good bond. What the final end up of the case will le we arc at loss to know.

Fare for the round trip lias been placed at $2.10. lLANDERs are still in the county among the horses, and we hear of new cases every few days. Great care phould be t iken with horses that have been exposed or have the disease to keep them from inoculating other horses. The keeping of the disease confined as much as possible is alike important to every larmer in Webster county. The city council should pass an ordinance making the license for peddling groceries, clothing, jewelrj, etc. on our streets by itinerant mer chants, at least $25 per day. The merchants and business men generally should be protected from these travel ing humbugs who bring a few cheap goods to Red Cloud, swindle the people and take the money out of town tht ought to remain here. The business men should by all menus le protected by decisive measure. We understand that liarrv Pond has been selected as depot master in place of Dick Gray, resigned. The Chief is pleased to note the appt int ment as Harry is in every way well qualified for the position and will make a first-class officer. The com pany could not have raide a better ppointrnem.

Tnc old land marks of the early pioneer dys are paaing away, and in turn are being replaced by more modern improvements Farmers from the east have not been" slow tn Me the immense advantage of Nebraska soil and are coming west in large numbers and are locating all over our vast prairies. But aide from the improvement made m farming, other branches ot imsinc? have kept apace with that important industry and especially is this so in the milling business, The old gri.t mills of years ago have become almost useless in the manufacture of superior brands of flour and consequently have taken a back seat for the greatly improved roller ystem which U of a late inven tion. Tnc old Arnbvy Mills, formerly owned and run by Polly Bros., in iu day one of the beat mills in the state, haB recently passed in the hands of a corporation known as the Amboy Milling Company, and has been thoroughly overhauled and replaced by the finest roller process that could be procured in the United Statei, and today the company are compelled to run night and day to keep up with the demand made upon them for their fine brands of flour now manufactured.
