BOX ELDER BLOSSOMS. Porter Maddox of Dry Creek spent Satur day and Sunday at this place. Miss Ella Piper will commence her schoo again on Monday , after a vacation of two weeks. Our worthy P. M. , A. Campbell , made trip to Curtis , last week , and reports railroat building as brisk. J. A. Pinkerton and Mahlon and Sid Camp bell have gone up to boss the R. R. business in Frontier county. Miss Lou Chrysler has secured a positior in the high school of Indianola , whither she will soon go to commence the fall term. Mrs. Dobbs of Beatrice is making her par ents , Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Piper , a visit. She is accompanied by her youngest sister , Miss Edith. Several fine rains of late have added a f resl appearance to things in general ; corn in this section , however , will be light , except the late planted fields. Cougger is fast becoming a lady's man , and is playing the gallant in fine style. John Templin has our sympathy. Xever mind John , time will heal. The institute is over , we should judge bj the clatter we hear when several school marms get together and discuss the events of the past two weeks. A ball game was played on Saturday last , between the Coon Crock club and the "Ox Orients" on the latter's grounds at Box Elder , resulting in a score of 8 to 12 in favor of the Coon Creekers. Mr. S. Boles has as fine a rick of timothy hay as we ever saw in any country , raised on his own place at Box Elder. Notwith standing the dry weather a good yield of hay to the acre was secured. Mat Stewart has completed a well on his claim , 3 miles north of here. Water was found at a depth of 78 feet. Mr. Stewart be longs to that irresistible army of "old bachel ors" without which the "great west" could not be properly developed. LOST A lady's beau , in the vicinity of Box Elder , answering to the following descrip tion : Tall and muscular in physique ; dark lair and eyes ; rather high cheek bones ; neat in appearance ; rather slow of speech. Orders 'or his restoration may he left with Miss Kane or Miss Moore. As Tom Coward and Mr. Cougger were coming from McCook in their dog cart , on Saturday last , they met with quite an acci- lent. As they were crossing River Canon , one wheel of the cart gave way and precipi- ated them to the ground. Xo serious dam- ige was done , however , to life or limb , and he boys left the cart , and the dog too , and lastened on to the ball game , where they vere to occupy quite important positions.
