LT- l i x It Yaa Bet We Will. The state firemen's touraent will be held this year at Red Claud, and Jnlv intfi to mth inclusive is the time designated. The city to the south of us should make all prepara tion to give the hoys a grand good, time. Minden Gazette. B. B. Walquist, the genial editor of th6 Hastiags Democrat, one of the best newspapers in the west was a pleasant caller at The Chief office on Monday. Call again B. B. John Scbastain Esq., formerly gen eral ticket aeeat of the C. N. & K. B. has been promoted to the ofice of general ticket and passenger agent of all the combined lines of the Bock Island. The grand rush to Oklahoma, still continues and by the 22d (next Tues day) fully 100,000 people will be on tbc border of the Great El Dorado, but only about one-tenth will he ablo to get homes, leaving 90,000 people to be woefully disappointed. Then is quite a prospect for spilling of blood before the end comcth. The farmers of this county propose to fight the twine tiust to the bitter end. That's right, and the only way to fight opprcfcdive monoplics is by er ganized efforts of the people. Just as long as people will be, they may expect to be imposed on by the com bined efforts of .such institutions. Let every farmer take a stand against the twine trust. On the authority of the Railway Age sixty-six new roads, aggregating a mileage of over fifty-three thousand miles, have been projected since the beirinniBtr of the present year, of which some fifteen thousant miles arc under contract, and tbe remainder cither surveyed or incorporated. In view ef the fact that tht present year has been pronounced an off year for railroad building, the record is a sur prise. It is hardly probable, however that one-fourth of the roads projected will be built, although there arc pres sine demands for railroad extension in some localities. Bee. Bed Cloud, April 15. Editor Chief, will you please state in your next issue what the sal aries of the various county officer! are and oblige A Knight. The salaries of the county cficers are regulated by the fees, i e, if the fees of the county clerk should reach $1500 that would be his salary. The Bime rule applies to the clerk of the district court and the county judge. The sheriff and treasurer are allowed $2000 each if their offices make it in fees. The county superintendent is the only regular salaried officer in the county, and her salary is fixed at $1000 per annum. Bed Cloud, April, 16. Editoe Chief: Will you please inform an anxious reader how Guide Bock became to be called by that name.- Subscribe. You had better inquire of an early settler for full particulars, but we understand that it was on account of a large rock that used to guide the numerons prairie schooners over the state road to his western home. The rock still remains there. Cowles, Neb., April, 15. Editor Chief: If a duckling, which is a cross between a duck and a turkey be hatched, which would it take to, water or land? Farmer. Wc are not posted on duckology, having never observed such a freak of nature. Bed Cloud, April 15. Editor Chief: How old is Queen Victoria. Please answer in your next issue and oblige an Englishman. She was born in 181?, making her about 70 years old. Gaide Beck, April 1C. Editor Chief: When was the battle of Antic tarn fought. Please give the date and oblige. Soldier Bot. It was fought on the 17th of Sep tember 1862. g23U ."V Cf ELSICTft LETTER. squatters arc already moving toward the Sioux reservation, prepara tory to a decent on the land as soon as it is thrown open to settlement. It is the height of folly to go there with the expectation of being able to secure a slice of the laud at an early day. The commission to negotiate with the Indians has not been com pleted, and will not enter upon its la bors before the 1st of Nay. Proba bly two months will be required to complete the negotiations, and sever al weeks must then elapse before the department examines and approves the report. A vast amount of detail work must be done before the presi dents proclamation, placing the land on the market, can be issued. Four months is a reasonable estimate of the time required to perfect all the details, and, if tlie Indians should ser iously resist a reduction of the reser vation, a much longer period will be necessary. Settlers contemplating a raid on Dakota will save themselves much expense and hardship by await ing the result of the labors of the commission. Bee. The Family That Meve Oat.

Dear Hallie: What a long, long time it seems since I received your letter, and I must offer an apology for not answering sooner. 1 have always held that delays were dangerous, and have aetcd accordingly, hence the prompt reply heretofore. How per fectly overjoyed I felc on receiving your letter which said yeu were com ing to B. C, but it seemed to throw a shadow oa all that the girls calls a ;o od time (they are regular monopo lists) you sec they arc all the time planning for just themselves, and seem to forget they are only here en a vacation but I never heard them say go Well I await your arrival. By the way, has the little old man mater ilized? I think of him as Sir Mich ael in Lady Audlev's Secret, all at tention to the fair g irl whom he would call his bride. But alas " Men must bo taught as If you taught them not. Ami tilings unknown proiosed as things forgot." But enough of such nonsense. I muse not lorgot to mention tne mar riage of one of the girls soon, but no names must be mentioned else she would be mad. Her beau is awfully nice. But, "how fading are the joys we dote upon" it has been wisely said, and there is truth in it. Do you know that thiB is an awful dull town. Why we haven't even a revival in town now, wnere one can go, and at least ee some one, but with the opening of spnntr, we ieei juouant over tbe vis ions and prospects of buccv rides. etc. I wonder who first leported that L. W. was coing to leave B. C? It is a false report, he is stuck on B. C. and ain't going away. Oh! yes, I nearly forgot to answer your questions.

Mise Probasco is spoken very high ly of in this district, as a tcaehcr, which honor she no doubt deserves. . A maiden from the city tripped lightly nid hc trees and sniffed the pugnant odcr that floated on the breeze. "Oh tell me ancient fanner bith arms so btown and bare, what is that wonderous flower that scentr the morning air?" Loud laughed the an cient farmer till the tears relied down his cheek: "Why bless you that's a polecat, and I've smelt him for a week!" Ex.
