We acknowledge the receipt of an other frigid wave on Sunday and Monday. Several strangers from different towns in the Valley, were in Red . loud Tuesday. The citizens of Orleans are confident that they are to have the Rock Island railway at that burg. We noticed Mr. IS. S. Proud fit, of Guide Hock, in the city Tuesday. He took in St. John's lecture.

This is a decided enterprise on the part of the bor id of education. Mk Thomas Mosher being in de clining health, has decided to close up his meat market until such time as he shall have recovered his health. The board of education should fence the school house grounds in the second ward. It would make the property much nicer, besides it would protect the trees and grass. W.m.

The proprietor of the Valley House uocrves c:euu ior uie t.istv manner in which he has converted the hitherto unsightly commons in front of the house into a pleasa nt park, with walks arbors, shade ami ornamental trees. The attention ol the city paps is respectfullv called to the condition of the sidewalks on Third Avenue "be tween Webster and Seward streets. A promenade on a dark night via the Third Avenue route, would be a con vincing argument. Mk. LiMis. living near Beaver Creek, had the mi-fortune to lose a valuable mule recently. On giing into the stable in the morning the mule was found with, both hind legs broken. Jusi how the critter managed to break its legs is an unsolved mystery. We hear complaints that a number of dead hogs have been dumped in the vicinity of the Episcopal church ami elsewhere about the city. It it need less to add th-4t this is not as it should oe. We hope that the proper officials will see that the nuisance is abated. W. Josselyx, train agent on the B & M.t whose headquarters have been in this city or the past two or three years has received orders to move to McCoot the first of May.

JupriK McKeiuii.vns court was a scene of considerable commotion last week, the cause ot which was a disput ed corner between two farmers near Inavale. The court lasted nearly all night. We arc indebted to Charley Piatt for a glowing description in the Helmet of our hedge fence. We are just a little afraid that Charley's early train ing as a type sticker has been sadly neglected. S. T. Vvn Horn has disposed of his barber shop at Blue Hill. He went up the other day and found his barker slightly indisoosed. having taken too much "taurantler juice." Van gently fired the young man.

Eustis, and several others who- were desirous to see the Odd Fellows celebration. It is thought the peach crop in Ne braska will be a failure this year. This is a copyrighted New Jersey item, but we propose to keep abreast of the times, and not allow those insignificant eastern napers to get the start of us. Ox Tuesday a team of horses driven by a young woman ran away, or attempted to, but owing to the unusual brayery of the lady the team was siopnea near ins Chief office, and were then taken caatge of by C.

On last Monday occurred the 67th anniversarv of American Odd - Fellow - ship, and the dav wan dulv celebrated in every town and hamlet wherever the order has been instituted. The brethren of the Republican V?l!ey arranged te celebrate at the beautiful little city of Orleans, and a per pro gram Red Cloud Lodge No. 64, Web ster Encampment Xo. 2., and Faith Rebekah Lodge Xo. 19, I. O. O. F. turned out about forty strong and joining Blue Hill and (Vuide Rock Lodges left this city on Monday morn ing for Orleans, where they ainved about noon, and were duly escorted up '.own by the Orleans brethren and treated to as fine a banquet as we have ever had the pleasure of trying t demolish. After dinner had becu served to the hungry brothers and their ladies, the line of march was taken up by at least 300 Odd Fellows through the principal thoroughiare and to the rink, where the crowd was called to order by J. T. Cleaver, of the PrcA and several eloquent and masterly speeches were delivered on the order and it great wtrk. During the exercises the Orleans glee club dispersed some fine music, as did the four brass bands pr. sent. During the meeting it was decided that the next eclwbration should be held at Alma on April 20. 18S7. The slection of Alma caused some dissatisfaction among this end of the district, as nearly all seem to think Blue Hill should have been selected. However the boys will be on hand at Alma and with a big ciowd. Each succeeding year finds the boys more earnest in the work and an increased interest in the celebration This end of the district will ever hold Orleans and the brethren there in I grateful remembrance for their cour teous treatment on the occasion. In every sen.se of the word the celebration was a grand success. Among the laughable instances of the day was the parading of a real liye goat at the head of the procession, dressed up in regalia anil apparently waiting his chance to help along some innocent candidate. An Over-Ripo Goose. Two gentlemen living near Hicks went goose hunting recently. After hunting for several hours without suc cess they finally discovered a specimen of the web-footed species leisurlv float ing down stream, silently and alone. Cautiously creepim: toward the waters' edge, the bold huntsmen finally se cured a favo-able position and blazed awy at the unsuspecting victim, who immediately succumed to the inevit able. After bagging their game and hunting some time longer, but without further success, they wended their way homeward, their minds tilled with vis ions of baked goose, cranoerry sauce, etc. Becoming tired they sat down upon the summit of a hill overlooking the bciiitiful Republican Valley, to rest, and like all true sportsmen would have done, began to examine their game when phew' phew!! that goose was found to be too ripe for anythiur, in fact its earthly career had been checked, and its final dissol ition had doubtless taken place many moons ago. With sorrowing hearts they reached their homes, but a yet baked goose has nut appeared in their bill of fare. Xeaklt every town in the Valley has a good brass band except Red Cloud. However, the chances are favorable for a good band in Red Cloud soon. The boys of H. S. Kaley Camp, S. ot V., of this city, are per fecting arrangements for the organiza tion of a band.iu IheirCamp. They pro pose to get the instruments belonging to the members of the defunct cornet band, several of whom have signified their willingness to turn over theii instruments to the Camp. With a little issistance and encouragement from the members of the G. A. R. and the business men of the city. Red Cloud can have a band that she will be proud of. and one that will hang to gether and not disband at the coming of cold weather. If they can begin practicing immediately they will be in condition to furnish music for Decoration D.iv. Rook Island Extentlon. New York, April 23 The Times an nounces that the projected extention of the Chicif o, Rock Island fc Pacific road is to become a fact forthwith, the con tract having been signed in Wall street yesterday by which Kuhn, Loeb & Co. subscribe for $10,000,000 in new bonds to be issued by the company. Seven hundred miles of new road are project ed, the greater part to be kn iwn as the Kansas and Nebraska divisions. There is said to be a great deal in the propo sition that does not bode much good for the Rock Islands competitors. Important to Breeders ot Good Draft Horses. Mr. J. W.

When the caravan moved out of the city there was scarcely a dry man in the vut crowd. The evening of the first day's journey found the noble trio encamped on the shores of Indian Creek, four miles nearer the setting sun than the place f-om whence they started. At a late hour they ware engaged in playing "seven up," by the light of a coal oil glim. Jackson re turned to spend the third night at home. We learn that the Ikjv had the misfortune to break a horse' leg while crossing a stream near Bloom ington. As per announcement ex-Governor St. John, of Kansas, held forth at the Opera House to a comparatively small audience on Tuesday evening. His theme was principally of prohibition sentiment and the arraignment of the republican and democratic parties for their failure to recognize the principles of temperance in accordance with hia views on the subject. He gave a few facts and figures to back his state ments. He is a fair speaker and keeps his audiences in good humor, but evidently the old fellow -till has the presidential bee buzzing in his hat and hopes to get there in 189:2, or there abouts, and seems to have forgotten that he owes all his prominence and fame to the grand old republican party, which has twice placed him in the chief executive's office of his adopted state. He firmly believes in his third party fallacy, and thinks there is no way to bring about the desired end except through it. Brapurook, our Fourth Ayenue artist is not given to aupertk-us verbi age, in fact it is not necessary, as the fine collection of artietic genii in his studio speak for themselves in a most convincing manner. Brad's latest and crownim: triumph is the production of two of the finest pieces of crayon work that we have ever had the pleasure of beholding. They are life size portraits of Misses Blanche Feight and" Vashti Gardner, enlarged from cabinet photos Every lineament of features, drapery and background are portrayed in such a pleasing and life like manner that even the most critical eye would be puzzled to detect an error We con gratulate our artistic friend on this his latest success, and recommend our readers to patronize home institutions where they can get better work for lc?s money than by ecmMng abroad for the same money, or trusting to the gulii blc representations of itinerant agents in the interest of eastern firms. Monday evening two of J. L. Miner's little children in company with a little girl named Cropsey, started from Miner Bros.' store for their home, with their pony and buckbonrd. Ju.t after eroding the draw on 3rd Avenue the little ones' attention w. attracted elsewhere, and the pony getting out of the road the huckhoard was nearly overturned on the bank. Little Mi?s Cropsey ws;s pitched over the dash board and tossed about over the thills and wheels, finally alighting on terra firma. considerably frightened but it is thought not seriously injured with the exception of a badly sprained ankle. She was taken into the residence of Mr. C. F. Cather and medical aid se cured, after which she was removed to her home. Alter running a few rods the pony was stopped by Jim Miner, and the balance of the party rescued uninjured. Money to Loan.
