Is our principal line and ordinarily we are - proud of
the fact that we have the largest assortment in Cherry
county but at present we are sorry to say that we have
TOO BIG A STOCK
Especially of Winter goods owing to mild weather and
in order to reduce it we are making discounts on heavy
goods amounting in some instances to 50 per cent

If Valentine should be on the line
of the proposed railroad angling
across the county to Alliance on the
other side we will feel like we are in
the right place but we should serious
ly object to bonding the county to

Sunday night about 10 inches of
soft snow fell without any wind blow
ing and many people were sarprised
upon irwaking Monday morning to
find the earth mantled in white
stacked up on limbs of trees on fence
posts clothes lines and upon house
tops Sleighing is fine and will be
perhaps for several days The ther
mometer sometimes goes down to 10
degrees below zero but you wouldnt
ttiinkitif you didnt see the register
as the steady and unchangeableness
of the temperature accustoms one as
in Alaskan regions where they endure
40 degrees below zero with as little
thought jor complaint as the people
of Louisiana wquld make over a chil
ly northwest wind and which would
make them hump their shoulders and
shiver perhaps even more than the
bitter cold of the north would cause
one accustomed to the climate
Last Friday night four women took
upon themselves the taste or going
-around to -visit the saloons to see
what was going on At MeltendorJls

tecs they visited the back room find
ing Wm Francke engaged in playing
a lone game of s Htaire andA when ac
costed threw up Ins head in astonish
ment exclaiming Vat de h is dis
Vat are 301 doing in here Dont
you know this is private Ah at
tempt was made by the women to ex
plain their mission amidst some diffi
culties and they filially rethed after
asking that gambling be stopped in
the saloon The next day a petition
was circulated by these women and
after waiting upon the town board an
order was made by that body instruct
ing the marshai to enforce ordinance
No 58 in regard to gambling
Last week while we were printing
the Democrat the news came to us
that Valentine was to have electric
lights f unuabed by S F Gilman who
is the owner of the mill at this place
Mr Gilman contracts to do the pump
ing for the city water works and fur
nish six arc lights of 2000 candle pow
er each for the city for 1500 per
year This will be a saving of 100 to
200 on the pumping and the arc
lights are practically free beside
Work will begin im media tely for the
putting in of the electric lights and
theputnpinjg tO bejun with the water
power furnished by the Minnechaduza
and the mill dam What we want
now in the interest of the county seat
