D. D. Dunn made this office a visit
and stated that he just completed a

Until C. C. Thompson put up his
sign this week , the oddest livery sign
we had ever seen was in Wilber , and
read , "Hotel de Horse. " Thompson's
is a picture sign , and we understand
premium is offered to the one who
will correct ' read it.
A. T. White came over from Alli .
ance last Fiida3r morning to look
after his Chesterfield mail route. He
says he is doing a good business with
his hotel , but this mail route is a el
corker. He has two new men driving elo
though , now , and ma3r make a success o
of it yet.
A Washington special , ' dated Dec
ember 16 , says that Dr. Walter G.
Tucker has been appointed a physi
cian at the Warm Springs , Oregon ,
Indian School. We are glad to
chronicle this appointment , and wish
Dr. Tucker success. We are told the
position is a very good one ,
Coursing has reached a very excit-
I ing stage in Valentine , and scarcely
a week goes b3T without adding to the
list of injured. Two weeks ago W. E.
Hale3r was quite severely injured , and
last Sunda3' John Simpson received a
fall which almost broke his arm and
Walter Meltendorff's horse almost
killed itself.
J. A. Saults. of Gregor3' , was in
town one da3r last week on business i
before the land office and made this ,
pliice a pleasant call. He has been i
in this count3' several 3rears. and is \
now one of our most substantial
stockmen. He sa3s he can make '
more mone3" here in six months than \
ho , could in Iowa in ten vears.
Wonder what has become of that
$1,000 coursing match Chadron had
worked up against Valentine ? Our
sports have the dough to back their
dogs and claim their dogs will win the i
dough , but we hear nothing more of '
the match. What's the matter with i
having a grand New Year's hunt and
find out which town owns the best
dogs ? j
The Knights of P\'thias of Valen
tine will give a benefit mask carnival
on Friday evening , January 20. The
K. of P. have had a good many of
their members in the Cuban cam
paign , and its exchequer has run low
'
I on account of caring for sick and
wounded , the3r take this means of re-
I plenishing it. It will be advertised
I extensivel3r and a large cro\vd is expected -
; pected to attend.
The "Valentine Turkey Club' ' held
an interesting session one da3' recent
ly , five members being present. At
the close of the meeting we are told
one member was the proud possessor
of six fine turke3's for Christmas , 'one
had four and another three , while
two forlorn members did not even get
an invitation to eat dinner or stand
at the window and smell the savory
birds as they are carved next Sunda3' .
The F. . E. & M. V. ice gang have
up to date put up 30. ) cars of ice taken
from the placid bosom of Lake Min-
nechaduza. The ice averaged 1(5 (
inches in thickness , and was of the
first qualit3r. They intend leaving
the car chute and spur track until
next 3ear , and are figuring on haul
ing the ice to the top of the hill on an
endless belt next season. As a sample
of what they did this year , 48 men
and 18 teams cut and loaded 3o cars.

although fifty extra seats had been
provided. The company is an excel

single word of harsh critic ism regard
ing them. Being ladies and gentle
men the3r made friends when off the

It seems to be definitely settled
now that the fast mail west from
Chicago will arrive in Omaha after
the first of the 3Tear at about 8 o'clock
in the morning instead of three
o'clock in the afternoon. If this
change is made , the Klkhorn will of
necessit3' leave Omaha in the morn
ing instead of the afternoon as at
present. Suppose the Elkhorn Black
Hills train leaves Omaha at 8:30 : a. m. ,
the train will arrive in Valentine at
(5 ( p. m. . running at the same rate of
speed it now does. This will be a
great boon to all of the northwest.

it is sent from the eastern part
of the stat , and giving us a day

Once in a while we hear a kicker
who cusses the grain market at this
place , but we are happy to say that
these kickers are few in number. The
mill here pa3's from ; " > to 10 cents
more for wheat than any other place
in the state , and 3 to 5 cents more for
corn. Corn is now worth 21 cents in
Valentine , and in the eastern part of
the state it brings but 20 cents. The
price of oats is about as much higher
than other points. We recentl3r
heard an amusing stor3r which shows
how the kickers fare. Three men not
a thousand miles away came to town
earl3' in tl e season and asked what
could for wheat. '
they get Fort3'-five
cents was offered , and refused. The
three loaded a car and shipped to a
commission firm. After waiting for
more than thirt3r da3rs returns were
received , and their wheat netted
them just 30 cents per bushel. Far
mers should bear in mind that market
prices here are invariabh * higher
than elsewhere.
