Wednesday , while passing down Main Ave
nue , Treasurer Goodrich came in violent con
tact with an awning curtain pole painfully in

pus to the pedestrian merits the intention of
the authorities.
The efforts of the opposition to belittle
Mr. Wilcox are in no wise having the desir
ed ejfect ; but that gentleman grows in pop-1
ulanty daily. He is a man whom the people'
feel they can safely tie to , and in whom they j
can impose implicit confidence. ,
The otherwise melodious whistle at the !

usual intervals , however , in the customary
key.
There are no flies , political or otherwise ,
on Mr. Suavely. He is making a clean , man

very discouraging to his opponents.
Promptness , that excellent characteristic of

churchmen In this part of the state.
Their Intentions Were Good.
! Therewas a dunce at residence of Mr. B. F.
i Olcott , ( i few miles west of the municipality ,
J Wednesday evening. Quito a co.uipaiiy of
young people from the city attended , mid a
good time was of course enjoyed. iMibsMlua
Bullacc , Miss Maynie Hunt and Mr. C. B.
Gray had proposed In their hearts to partici
pate. But they didn't , lackaday. In making
the railroad crossing in West McCook , "at a
right .smart trot , " one of the horses slipped
and fell.the vehicle running onto the prostrate
and vigorously protesting animal , altogether
unmindful of consequences. In the "little un
pleasantness" that ensued the startled occu
pants alighted from the buggy with perhaps
more rapidity than grace , and the horses and
conveyance disappeared in the gathering
gloom in the unseemly haste usually attend
ant upon such occasions. Gathering up un
der his arm such evidences as remained of the
rig , Mr. Gray retraced his steps to the barn ,
somewhat "shook up" be it admitted , but un
daunted ! Providing himself with fresh
quadrupeds and a nioroseenily : buggy , the
trio gaily set forth for the scene of merriment.
But alas. Jupiter F. now takes an interest
ing hand in the proceedings. Still the would-
bo votaries of Terpsichore drove on. Whith
er ? Let the wild waves answer if they can.
By the time they reached Mr. C. E. lliuman's
place , shoit distance west of town , ( after
much aimless wandering , ) J. Fluvius had
the "dead drop" on them. Their bewitching
ball costumes had been rapidly transformed
into "just killing" bathing suits of the Coney
Island patem. This was laying on more
than misery could stand. The damper was
complete ; and a hasty council of war result
ed in an ignominious retreat homeward.
They desire us to assure Mr. and Mrs. Olcott
that their intentions were genuine ; but cir
cumstances beyond their control intervened.
Attention Farmers.
Only one more week intervenes between
this and the date of holding our county fair.
During this time brush up the stock , look
through the corn fields , and select the finest
samples of corn ; go to the granary and get
all kinds of small grain , and put it in the best
possible condition , for exhibition. Bring
vegetables of all kinds , especially potatoes.
Bring corn on stalk , broom corn , cane , millet ,
timothy , clover , alfalfa , blue stem , and espe
cially produce that has grown on sod ; wild
sunflower , horseweed , or wild hemp. Any
thing to show the productiveness of the soil.
There is a special premium of 520 , on corn.
For particulars see premium list. Box Elder
is making preparations to capture it. Will
Beaver sit quietly by and make no effort to
secure it ? Why can't the "Divide" step in
and scoop the whole business , and show what
the high prairie soil is capable of producing ?
We hope to see the boys' and girls' department
well iilbd. An agricultural fair would be
quite incomplete without the ladles depart
ment , and we expect to see a large exhibition
of their handiwork. One of the awarding
committee on bread , at ourlast county fair ,
was a lady from Iowa , and over GO years of
age. She remarked in our presence , "I have
attended many fairs , and seen a great deal
of bread in my days , but this is equal to , if
not better , than any I ever saw. " We hope
to see an unusually large display of bread ,
pies , cake , jellies etc. "We invite our "city
cousins , " to join with us , and present a fine
display of their goods and waies. We want
all to join together , and show to eastern vis
itors what lied Willow county can do.

near Parks , and his brother from Iowa , di ove
a team from Eaton & Co. 's barn down to
Oberlin and return , Tuesday , with fatal con
sequences to one of the horses , the faithful
equine dying shortly after entering the home

! Dundy County Court Notes.
, Dlstrh-r court wits convened at Ilonlcelmati ,
.Moiidn1 or this weok.nud tlioe ! * Ildockfl ho
Jng very light , was disposed oUluit dnj. Tuts-
day , tho trial or J. It. Jacobs. Tor obtaining
money under fulso protuueet ) , cniuo up before
the nmt Jury , J.W.Thompson prosecuting and
A. A. McCoy or Trontou defending. This Is a
etiso where tho defendant mortgaged a team
of horscf , claiming to own the eamo nnd to
have them in bis possession , and thereby ob
taining 554 In money. Tho derenso fulled to
show to the satisfaction of tho Jury that tho
defendant ever owned or had In his possession
such n team of horses , or In fact , any horses.
A Mil or sale was produced for such a team ,
but the execution of tho sumo by tho party
whose name was signed to it. was denied , as
was also the signature of the subscribing wit
ness , and the Jury evidently gave credoncoto
the testimony of tho parties denying , for af
ter considering nil tho facts and circumstances
in the cose , they brought In a verdict of "guil
ty as charged. "
The next case arising was that of tho
Stnte vs. Albert E. Endlcott , prosecuted by
Attorney Thompson and defended by H. Q.
GilTordnudJ. W. Jumcs. Tho evidence dis
closed that tho defendant had been working
forono Rule , In Goodland , Kansas ; that ho
was sent by his eraployor to Haiglcr for coal ,
or was given Instructions to go there for coal.
Ho turned up in Ilonkclmau , where ho traded
tho team in his custody for a span of ponies
and a cash consideration of $25. Ho then of
fered to sell the ponies for ? 13. This act caus
ed suspicion , and the defendant took tho next
train east , und when arrested , was found In the
middle of a largo corn Held in Illinois , oppo
site Burlington , Iowa. There were two counts
in the information : ono charging horse
stealing and tho other embezzlement. A mo
tion attacking tho jurisdiction of tho court
was sustained as to the llrst count but over
ruled as to the second , and the jury returned
a verdict or embezzlement of property to tho
value or § .T 0.
Tho trial ot tho last mentioned ease took but
a part or Wednesday , and tho rest or tho day
was occupied in the trial or Josiuli K. Burk.
for horso stealing ; prosecution conducted by
Mr. Thompson , and It. G. Gilford and John W.
Karr , defending. The evidence In this case
showed , "beyond a reasonable doubt , " that
tho derendant hired a team or Cox & Hall , liv
erymen or Benkelman , on or about April lUth.
last , for "three or four days" to go up into
Chase county ; that ho did not go to the desig
nated place in that countbut went over in
to Frontier , turning up on the 11th , at tho
farm of one J. P. Robb , near May wood. As ho
had once before stopped at Mr. Itobb's , he al
lowed him the same privilege again , and be
fore leaving ho made a bargain with his host ,
by which he sold him the team , ( representing ,
of course , that he owned them ) , for $ . " > 0 iu cash ,
u gold watch valued at 00 , and a note for § 70.
He then departed for parts unknown to the
world. Sheriff Moore , with true detective
skill , traced him up , and Anally succeeded in
locating and arresting him. His ilefenso was
simply , that ho was "not the man , " and he
tried to disguise Ills identity by a ditrcrcntcut
or his whiskers and the plea that , as stated by
tho State's witnesses , the man that sold the
team and that took the team irom tho livery
barn , had a Tow gray hairs in his side whiskers ,
tho derendant , as i * . matter or course , neglect
ing to state thutthcy were in his "sido whisk
ers. " The absence of the side whiskers did
not prevent him rron being positively rt-c- ,
ognized. and the jury , aiter being out lint a
short time , returned a verdict or "guilty , " as
charged in the information.
The case entitled the State vs. John Clark-
ston , was dismissed by the prosecutor , as he
ascertained that the same had been instituted
by personal spite. The charge was that of
rape upon a ten years old daughter of a Ger
man , one John Kaiser Smith. As it has been
bruited about his neighborhood that Clarkston
was not legally married to his present wire ,
evidence was produced reruting the slander.
Clarkston Is a man 53 yearsol age , and well re
garded by his neighbors in Benkelman and vi
cinity , while the opinion held now or the other
parties can be well imagined.
Reporter Gaston returned from Benkelman ,
Thursday morning , although the court had
not adjourned for the term. It Is expected
that there will be some more business on the
criminal calendar yet this term , a3 there is a
gang of horse thieves now on the way from
Wyoming , whose turn will probably come
next. One of them is said to be the notorious
Bob Miner , who is badly wanted elsewhere for '
murder. Juxioi * .
SCHOOL NOTES.
Helen Davis , Edna Mcscrvc and Lovcll Clyde
form the class of ' 80.
Patrons and friends who wish to visit tho
schools arc always welcome. ]
The Tenth grade , or class of 'DO , contains
seven members who are doing excellent work. I
It is expected that the new school building !
will be ready for occupancy on the first Mon-1
day in November.
As a result of the crowded condition of the
(
schools , the Principal has his ofllce and class
room in the upper hall.
It is the design to open tho term in the new
school building with appropriate exercises. '
The program will be published in due time (
The Board of Education have supplied the
schools with hard crayon. The clouds of dust
floating In the air and covering everything , , j
are tilings of the past.
It is hoped that the patrons of the school | .
will read the course of study. By doing so i ,
they will become familiar with the work , and j'
know just what the bovs and girls are doing. ;
In order to render the schools eliicient , It is | ;
necessary to have regularity or attendance. I
To this end it is required that there be a suT- i '
flcient excuse furnished for absence or tardi-1 i
ness. i ;
The various classes are thoroughly graded , ;
and the pupils are doing bettor work than ever.
The new course of stud3 * provides eleven ,
vear's work , which when completed will lit the
student for usefulness. I
The enrollment in tho various departments | '
is steadily increasing. A number of new j
names arc added each day. On Monday 534 i
pupils were in attendance. Some of the j
children have l > occupy front benches. ,
'
A statement of the condition of the school i >
saving 's bank will soon be published. This t j
feature of the work is earnestly recommend- .
ed to the patrons. Besides the value of the
amounts saved , it teaches u habit that will .
doubtless result in future good.
The lirst morning bell rings at 8:30.31. T , [
the last bell at D:00 ; the flrst afternoon bell at
12:45 , the last bell at 1:15. Parents are re- ;
quested to see that the children leave home j
early enough to reach the school rooms before (
the last bells ring. It is not desired that they . (
come before the first bells. j ,
The lessons ofthe Philosophy class will soon , i
be rendered more interesting and profitable |
by the use or : i fine set or apparatus. It is the j
design also to illustrate thework in chemistry j
during the winter term , by much practical ex- j .
periment. Our schools in the matter of i ,
equipment alone wiil soon rank with the best ,
in the country. >
