ANOTHER DAIRV C. A. Clark ,
( brother-in-law of J. H. Ludwickwho
recently purchased the S. B. Brown
place , a few miles northwest of town ,
has commenced the operation of an
other dairv. This will doubtless assure
*
the city a full miik supply.
We are pleased to announce that
Chancellor Manatt of the State Univer
sity , Lincoln , will in the near future ,
deliver a lecture in the Opera Hall. It'
is proposed by Prof. Webster to have
the address free. We will advise our
readers as to the date , hereafter.
An unusually large number of cattle
were killed on the railroad west of here ,
during the storm. Stock congregated
in the cuts to protect themselves from
the fierce wind , and the thundering ex
press coming along would scatter them
hither and thither , killing and maiming
at a terrible rate.
Notwithstanding the tendency of the
mercury to drop out of sight , Saturday ,
a shipment of four car-loads of steers
and two of hogs fiom Cambridge , passed
through this station for the Denver mar
ket. Few casualties occurred , although
the run was made in severe weather.
The Courier is our authority for the
statement that the First National Bank
of this city will shortly establish a
branch bankinginstitutiouatthecounry-
seat. We understand further that Mr.
F. M. Smith , now in the First National
here , will have charge of the new bank.
The book social by the ladies of the
W. C. T. V. has been postponed until
Friday evening. Remember the change
of date , and turn out to the Congrega
tional church with your books , maga
zines , etc. The ladies will provide re
freshments and a short program for the
occasion.
A PROPIGOUS PORKER Wallace W.
Dunham of the south-side marketed the
largest hog in this city , last Saturday ,
of which wo have ever had a report.
The animal , which was of the Poland-
China breed , represented 780 pounds of
good , fat pork. Mr. I ) , also sold 10 jack
rabbits the result of one day's hunt.
JOE'S ENTERTAINMENT A very com
plimentary audience indeed greeted our
worth } ' temperance lecturer , Tuesday
evening , at the M. E. church , on the
occasion of Joe's benefit entertainment.
The program embraced old and familiar
pieces , which were fairly treated by Mr.
Critchfieid to the average enjoyment of
the audience.
Last Sunday the Congregational Sun
day School was reorganized with the fol
lowing officers : Superintendent , Prof.
W. S. Webster ; Assistant Superintend
ent , J. E. Cochran , Esq. ; Secretary ,
Miss Lou Clark ; Treasurer Miss Edna
Meservc ; Chorister , Mr. F. M. Smith :
Organist , Miss Nellie Lee. It'is pro
posed to awaken a deeper interest , if
possible , in the important work of the
church , and to this end the hearty and
earnest co-operation of all interested in
the children is desired.
We copy the following from a recent
issue of the Crete. Neb. . Globe : "On
his last trip to Illinois , E. F. Stephens ,
of the Crete nursery , sold four car loads
of two and three year-old apple trees to
Illinois nurserymen. This is one more
proof of the superiority of Nebraska soil
and climate. Who would have thought
ten years ago , that Nebraska could grow
better and cheaper trees than. Illinois.
Would it not be well for the farmers to
purchase these trees at fiist hands rather
than pay eastern men two freights and
a good profit on them. ' '
After being practically isolated from
the outside world for the period of ten
days , trains arc again running with some
regularity. Competent railroad author
ities pronounce the late storm as the
severest , and most wide-spread one with
which they have had to contend in the
history of railroading in Nebraska. It
seems that the storm was not confined
to this state alone , but that it raged in
unabated fury north , east , south and
west. Even the "Sunny South" felt
the chilly finger of old Boreas laid upon
her with almost unprecedented severity.
Considerable loss of stock is reported
from the range , especially in the Chief
Creek region and about Eckley and
Hyde. '
On account of the failure of Gene nil
Hotchkiss of Lincoln to put in an ap
pearance , the installation of the officers
of J. K. Barnes Post of this city.which
was advertised to occur on Monday
evening , was indefinitely postponed. The
fact that the general would not be here
was not known until late in the evening
and a goodly company had already as
sembled in the Opera Hall , including
many old soldiers and their families ,
from adjoining towns and surrounding
country. The. best was made of a great
disappointment , with a number of ex
temporaneous speeches by Commander
J. A. Wiicox , Surgeon Willuy. Regi > tcr
Laws , and Joe CriteKfield , who made :
quite an effort and who entertained and
nmu-'cd the audience immcnst-ly. The
Juvenile band and glee club also added
their mite to the evening's program.
While the main object of the meeting
was not accomplished , the a Hair was
made as pleasant and profitable as may
bo under the untoward circumstances.
The home of T.J. Richaul , who lives
some ten miles northwest of the city ,
was the seer.n of a heart-rending affair ,
last Thursday evening , which icsulted
in the death , by burning , of a seven-
year-old daughter. Mrs. Rickardit , ap
pears , was at a neighbor's house at the
time on an errand , and the Httic girl
and a couple younger children were the
only occupants of the house. In some
way the other little ones set the little
girl's clothing on file , and before the
flames were extinguished , ( the little girl
at once started to run toward the neigh
bor's house. ) she was fatally burned ,
and on tho following morning , the spirit
of the little sufferer bid its charred ten
ement farewelland , returned to its giver.
On Saturday morning , the remains were
tenderly laid away in mother earth on
tho homestead. The.distracted and dis
tressed parents have'the deepest sympa
thy of every tender heart in their sad
bereavement.
ANOTHER SURPRISE. The you- ; :
friends of the Misses Menard tendered
them a surprise party , last evening ,
which was participated in and enjoyed
by a large and jolly company. The
Opera Hall was cleared , lighted and
warmed , music provided , and the "light
fantastic" gracefully tripped by the
party to their heart's content. The
usual refreshments were provided. The
Following ladies were present : Misses
Lilhe Rowell , Clara Gooding , Cecilia
Ryan , Ida J. Hollistcr , Mabel Meservc ,
Dell and MatSe Smith , Johnson , A very ,
Maggie Vaughn , Nellie Fisher. The
gentlemen were : Messrs. E. E. Low
man , E. L. Laycock , Fred. S. Harris ,
'
E. F. Ryan , A. P. "Bonnet , Chas. and
Sam Ashmore , F. L. McCracken , W.
E. Fry , Ned. Eaton , C. W. Ballard , J.
F. ForbesTom , Glasscott , J. A. Cordcal ,
A. C. Ebert , David Smith and Charles
Fisher.
This office is constantly receiving
complaints in writing and in person
against his rotundity of the postoffice.
This , however , is "wasted sweetness on
the desert air. " Let these same parties
proceed about this matter in a business ,
maiter-of-fact way and he who ban
neither the ability to do the work him
self nor sense enough to hire a compe
tent deputy to do it , will speedily be
relegated from the position lie is utterly
unfit to occupy to private life and his
Srst love. His appointment has not
been confirmed by the Senate , and an
effort by our citizens , who arc unani
mous as to the present occtipint's in-
competency. will defeat his confirma
tion. We suggest the remedy. It is
simple and effective , and by far the
easiest way out of our present troubles ,
which grow worse , instead of better ,
with time.
There are two scandalous reports cur
rent , which , if true , are disgraceful :
but , if false , arc villainous. One bears
the mark of a inontcbank and a black
mailer , while the stamp of improbability
rests upon the other. Still , by reason
of these reports , a stigma rests upon a
number of our citizens. When that pearl
of greatest price the good name of a
citizen is concerned , too great care
cannot be exercised ; and we wager that
there is a young black-leg in this com
munity who has been skulking around
like a cowardly jackal , seeking tocatch
onto' ' somebody or something , lately ,
who will imagine sheol is not more than
about six inches off. if he follows his
present "lead. "
The county commissioners have ap
pointed S. ll.Colvin , justice of the peace
of this precinct , to succeed himself , C.

has been duly approved and has enter-
