The announcement of the marriage of Richard Watkins, the well known cattle man of this city, comes as a sur prise to his host of friends here, but all unite in wishing him a happy time. The bride is a Mrs. Hill, formerly of Missouri. The nuptials were eclcbrat ' cd at Long Branch, California, Jan uary 27. Dick left here less than a ; month ago to spend the winter in ' California and his warmest friends never suspected him of forsaking his batchelorhood. 1 However, since we come to think of lit, it was just a year ago when Dick 'Jtiftook advantage of the weather to gi e a lady menu a sletcn nue. It was such yt&W&riii limiQiml nrnirntmn unusual occurance for him, that j&Simon Spry, Billy King and others j0 hired a bunch of street urchins to catch the sleigh and get in if possible; for i j&. which each arab succeeding in getting w "T . . , into the tne sleign was to receive ten T -.cents. The fact that it cost Spry and W ,7 King about S 10 each to pay the kids, i'.v- Y3,tells how well they succeeded. The 'S.EHyhole town turned out to see the fun. t , iEor a time Dick was nad hut seeing it ; jSwas po use, decided to take it as a ll&J'joke.

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION. for New ItnllronU In WjoinltiR. Now Homestead Hit! Ily Kinkaid- Pi ess dispatches of yesterday con tained the following interesting infoiin ation: Articles of incorporation of the Big Horn Railway company have been filed in Wyoming, the incorporatois being General Manager George W. Holdrcge of the Burlington; G. W. Loomis, his assistant; W. P. Dinkcc, auditor; A. D. Alice, assistant auditor; and J. E. Kclby, solicitor. The capi tal stock will bo $5,000,000. The Big Horn Railway is the branch of the Burlington planned to run through Big Horn and Fremont coun ties, Wyoming. This branch will ex tend south from the Burlington's lines in Northern Wyoming, and will be a rival of the branch to bo built by the Northwestern from its main line at Cas per to the Shoshone reservation. The opening of this reservation will probably take place next summer, and both the Burlington and Northwestern will begin building as soon as the bill providing for the segregation and sale of the northeastern section of the res ervation has been passed by congress. New Hoincstcnd Hill. Congressman Kinkaid today intro duced a bill giving preferential right to a certain class of cntrymen under the 640-acie act, commonly known as the Kinkaid act, to those settlers who were deprived of their settlement by icason of lands bciuir withdrawn under the irrigation act and now turned back to settlement. He also introduced a bill giving entrymen under the Pathfiiuder irriga tion project in Nebraska until May, 1907, to commence residence. This, bill is in effoct amendatory to the national irrigation act wherein entry men have only six months to commence residence. As the Pathfinder project is not expected to be completed for several years, Judge Kinkaid believes it will woik a hardship upon those per sons locating along the canal to take up their residence when there is no water in the stream. His bill extends the time of commencing residence and if passed will give those who have already located 011 the land the right to obtain leave of absence from the local land office until May, 1907. During the past year there has been a decided effort made to start school libraries in Nebraska. Richardson leads as the banner county have in vested over $1,700.00 in the past year. Box Butte has made a beginng, there being several good libraries in the county schools, and many teachers are interesting themselves in the good work this winter. The first entertain ment this winter for that purpose was given last Friday night at the iiome of Mr. Brower in district No. 1 same being a box social, at which a very pleasant evening was spent by those present, every one enjoying the enter tainment offered by the teacher Miss Fanny McCoy and pupils. Ten dol lars were received which will at once be invested in good 'library books for the school. The Lolspeich brothers near Hyannis who have been hunting a couple of gray wolves for the past week, have at last killed one of them. It is the larg est ever heard of in that vicinity, weighing a hundred and twenty-five pounds. The two wolves had been in the neighborhood for the past three months killing calves, cows and horses to the value of $500 or ?6oo for the boys. On one occasion they even kill ed one of their dogs. There is a largo bounty on wolvos in that county and especially on these two. A number of men are still on the trail of the second WOlf. .WWWWW.

The firm will be prepared to supply all the local cateicis as well as church, lodge, and other societies with ice cream in an quantities on short notice.

B. Gray sent a valuable suit of underwear to' his washer woman together with his grist of laundry. When she caino to got the wash Iroiu the line, some miscieant had stolen the underwear valued at 57.50. The poor woman bemoaned her sad fate and prepared to icp.iy her patron today. Imagine her amaze ment this morning, when she found the missing garments at her door, with the following note pinned to them written in a legible hand, hut with no name signed. "I have couchiJcd to return these goods and ask forgiveness. I believe it better to work hatder and enjo le&ti bodily com fot tn than to cnduic compunction of conscience, to say nothingof what else might follow. You may wonder if the Preaching at the Baptist Chinch, had anything to do with it. and it is but Justice to say IT HAD!" If any one doubts the efficacy of prayer, or the good results of revival meetings, let him forever hold his peace. And yet Mr. Gray, his land lotd and the washer-woman are scepti cal, prefeiring to believe that the thief's "what might follow" to be fear of cap ture, rather than rcpentctice. Another sceptic said ho believed tho suit was returned because the thief was not largo enough to fill it. But Gray and the laundress are happy, just the same. destroying Prairie Dogs. file Nebraska Experiment Station has just issued Bulletin No. 86.
