KIMMELL. 1 $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. I It is a serious question in the minds of 1 many whether Nebraska would not be , better off with ino irrigation law than with the Akers' law. T1ti ; report of Bank Examiner Cline on the Trenton lank failure would indicate - dicate that Charles H. Peck is no slouch when it comes to looting a bank in first-class , artistte style. The Illinois legislature has passed a law making it a misdemeanor for a woman to wear a high hat at the thea- tre. If it will now pass a measure making - ing ; it felonious for a man to go out and take two or three drinks between acts , no one can say that an injustice has been done either sex. A man has no more right to go forth and acquire a bad breath and bring it back with him than a woman has to obscure the view of others by wearing a church steeple on her shapely head. Or the mania for gambling an ex- chauge says : "A man is nothing short .of an ineffable fool to begin bucking the tiger. It sends more men to hellsocial- 1y , morally and financially than all other evils combined. Men lose their minds over a chance to win at Monte Carlo. A boy is a fool to begin. It grows like the drink habit and there is no Kecley cure to straighten him up. Saw wood , dig ditches , shovel dirt , anything to earn an honest penny , but be not tempted - ed to take a chance on getting something - thing for nothing. The other fellow is i always smarter than you are. You are sure to be betting on somebody else's game Don't be a sucker. Don't be an inspired idiot. Don't gamble. " E. F. Test says that the farmers of Iowa and Nebraska should plaint liberally - ly in grain and corn this year. "The indications are , " says he , "that the months of June , July and August will be hot , steauny and sultry , just the reverse of last , year. The planet Venus will travel with the earth through space around the sun during these months , passing the earth on the 19th of Septem- ber. After that clay we must expect frost. Certain periods of March and April vrill be mild and warm , but there is danger to the fruit crop about the 15th to the 17th of May. Altogether the season will be similar to the summer of 1884 , then Venus and the earth were traveling around the sun together. Venus is a marine world-that is , coy- ered with water , and when in proximity to the earth in summer , we can always expect a hot , sultry , wet season during the summer month , . " bUX bLUCIi. Wednesday , February 6th , was a rustling day. E. M. Brewer will start forlowa , soon , to make his home. There is a good deal of sickness among 'children at the present time. There was a woodchopping , Saturday , for the minister and the church. James Pinkerton is the happy papa of a bouncing girl baby since February the first. Justice of the Peace Kiughorn is kept btisy making out applications for aid , now a-days. Rev. Vivian has carried on one of the most successful protracted meetings ever held in the Red Willow valley , there being - ing upwards of eighty uniting with the church. There has been a great many stories going around about parties receiving aid who are able to get along without it , and of other parties whose parents have said they did not want their sons to receive aid , as they were able to keep them. This report is false , for the parents have never said anything of the kind. It is very unjust to circulate such reports. There is not a family on the divide but will have to have help , either food , clothing , or feed and seed to put in a crop , and we would deem it a favor for such parties to remain silent. There is enough for all without the hog act. There's Always a Reason. It is an easy thing to account for the wonderful growth of the DAILY STATE JOURNAL recently. Its price has been reduced - duced to 5o cents per month without Sunday , or 65 cents with Sunday. T11R JOURNAL has alwas been reliable and honest , printing the news without fear or favor. The people of Nebraska realize - ize that they need a paper published at the capital , and when the price of TsE JOURNAL was reduced the subscription "list grew at a phenominal rate. THE JOURNAL is a Nebraska paper through andthrougb. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I S. V Notary Public , Reliable , Insurartice , Collection Agent. IIHHH VAiLTON NOTES. Mrs. Eggleston has returned to her Fillmore county home , this state. The postoffice is now on section 29 , under the care of Rexford Simpson. Bert Foote , one of ourestimable young men , has returned to his Illinois home. Mary Voss havi g finished her winter term of school will leave for western Iowa , whither the family went last fall. Winter still continues but no great amount of snow has fallen at this writing , although more or less falls every day. Mr. Harbican has sold a portion of the farm known as the Squires place. Mr. H. may look further west , but is undecided - cided at present. There has been some loss of stock on the creek , although the animals seemed to be in fair condition. George Cooper and S. A. Speer have each lost a horse. The weather has been too severely cold for successful revival work at the sod church , ] just west , although fairly well attended when not too cold to turn out. Andrew and William Fauss have reached their southern destinnatioh in good order , losing no stock enroute. We hope the boys r will be prospered and have an all-around good time while there. The Vailton school closed on the 5th with an evening entertainment consisting - ing of recitations , dialogues , talieaux ? , singing , etc. , all of which passed off pleasantly with the very best of order. We were assisted by- Maud and Will Hunter of district No. r6 and sonic of ourex pupils and older members of the home district. We hear considerable relief talk , but as a matter of fact district 29 has sent out more relief than it has received , although - though none are more worthy than our own citizens. No applications for coal were handed the committee ; indeed one ex soldicr just east of us declined to take coal sent 'y the Grand Army post , preferring - ferring to work up wood on the creek. Miss Edith Coleman , who left for Los Angeles , California , Tuesday , came here thirteen years ago when a mere child. The past three years she devoted most of the time to school teaching. On last Sabbath at the close of the Sunday school at the Coleman school house , while the closing hymn in the Sunday school quarterly was being sung , "May Jesus Be With You Till We Meet in Our Home Above , " the school gathered - ered around her and bid her good bye. There was not a dry eye in the house. John M. Bulger of Correll precinct , Hitchcock county , killed himself , last Sunday aweek. He had $300 in the Trenton bank failure , and the supposed loss caused him to commit the terrible act. Indianola is figuring on investing $6- 000 fn waterworks , and a petition for signers to get the sense of the voters on calling a bond election is being circulated - ed in Indianolaand Red Willow prec. Peter McDonald from Driftwood precinct - cinct is said to be down in Missouri at his old and scheme again. County Clerk Filbert of Hitchcock county has telegraphed - graphed that he is a fraud. The county commissioners will meet again on the 20th. There were not signers enough to call an election to vote bonds to secure feed and seed. J. A. Cass , the lumberman , attended the commissioners' meeting at Indianola on Monday , hating some claims for due allowance. T. J. Cress had sonic claims before the commissioners at their session , Monday , in Indianola. I have a windmill and tower for sale , cheap. ELMER ROWELL.
