oclock the following were nominated
on the citizens ticket for village
trusteps for the ensuiug year
P F Simons C H Cornell
D S Ludwig E Sparks
T C Hornby
This is the old board in its entirety
and is a ticket that will give satisfac
tion to the taxpaers This board has
run theaffairs of the village in a very
businesslike manner for the last year
as well s the year before and to the
best of our knoweledge no strong op
position -will be offered to their re
election
Seld Old School BLonae
i At its meeting Satuiday night the
school board rejected the bids received
on February 28 for the old school
house and received open bids for the
same Two bids were received one
from J E ThdCkrey for 855 and one
from D 13 Ludwig for 900 On
motion the bid of Mr Ludwig was ac
cepted Pettijohn Nicholson and Crabb
voting in the affirmative and Walcott
and Halevisi the negative There is
intermediate departments and a dozea considerable speculation indulged in
in the grammar school In
to this there is another room not in
use vhich will accommodate about
70 pupils
AtSts meeting Monday night the
school board accepted the new school
buildrsg from the contractors Fletcher
StobJe paid these gentlemen and
released them from fuutfrer obligation
The contractors received for the build
ing theum of 10350 or a total of
400 mote than their bid This extra
sum wasipaid for changes made in the
plans suchas furring and lathing the
wallspf th various rooms increasing
the height of the chimneys etc The
heating and ventilating svstem cost
1500 the lots cost 350 and incident
tal expenses will run the total cost of
the new building and location up to
about 12500 It is safe to say that a
duplicate could not be obtained for
less than 15000 Contractors Stolzle
Fletcher deserve great credit for the
way they filled their contract

two
The above was written vesterday
afternoon and last night about 930
Chick died of pleurisy and and heart
complication He wassubjrct to this
disease and first experienced the at
tack from which he died when the
train upon which hevas coming home
arrived at Atkinson The dead mans
relatives from the west part of the
county arrived here this morning but
no arrangements for the funeral have
asyet been made on account of the
wifes absence She is expected here

night
The sympathy of the entire com
munity goes out to Mrs Bowring in
this her double affliction and her
scores of friends will unite in giving
her their assistance if needed in any
way
Where Is the CowT
A unique cattle stealing case was
behrd in Judge Townes court Monday
afternoon and although the case was
decided the question as to who has
the cow Is still a mystery It seems
that last November the Davis boys
John and Isaiah living near Kilgore
took up a cow belonging to Frank
Uotheutner for damage dine to their
crops during the fall While driving
the cow home to their place from a
piece of school land they had under
luuou fhov mt Knthlpntiipr and sflVnft
harsh words passed between them
Tney took the cow home nevertheless
andtplacedher m the barn tying her
with a Tope When they arose in the
morning the cow was gone They
claim they tracked her tmm the bam
to Iothleutners pasture but have not
seen her since Alter a lot or spar
ring around Frank finally had the
Davis boys arrested for larceny
After listening to the evidence pro
and con judge Towne released the de
fendants Rothleutner persists in be
lieving that the cow was disposed of I
by the boys and they intimate that
FTank took her home from their barn
-and there the matter rests Upon one
point all parties agree viz the cow

Crockett The play was well given
and Mr Redmond is by far the best
leading man with any repertoire com

sons In physique voice and simple
mannerisms he was an admirable
Davy and was rewarded at the close
oft the fourth act with a curtain call
His support was good especial credit
being due Mr Dudley for his presen

acting parson Between the acts a
number of specialties were given tnus
offering a continuous performance
A pleasing feature of the evening was
the excellent music furnished by the
Dohany orchestra under the leadership
of Mr Sidney Downs Their selec
