a cry of fire was heard In the part of the

a quickstep to the rooms and discovered

Judge Hamer recently held a term of
cotttt in Sidney. The Telegraph says
that ou Thursday evening there were 25
people attended church and 200 attended
court, and concluded that a3 an attraction
the court beat the church. But Sidney
is a wicked city.
While the extreme cold weather was
instrumental in keeping many away from
the Methodist sociable and bazaar held
at the opera house Tuesday evening, the
attendance was very fair and the articles
offered for sale were nearly all disposed
of. Oysters and other refreshments were
served and a lively social time was had.
Marshal Baker stepped into Waldo's
saloon Monday night to arrest a boozy in
dividual and while in the act of doing so
met witn interference from the hands of
several bystanders. This made the worthy
marshal hot under the collar aud pro
ceeded to mop up the floor with one or
. two of the interferers It isn't policy to
monkey with an officer of the law.
The participants in the high school
entertainment held at the opera house
Thursday night acquitted themselves
with much credit, the presentation of the
plays being an improvement on those
rendered in the past. The audience
evinced satisfaction and felt well pleased
with the entertainment- The proceeds
go to the library fund.
Thos. O'Neal has laid off and is
going around with a bandage on his right
wrist. It came about in this wise : On
Monday while holding a bar, one of his
helpers accidently struck him on the
wrist with a sledge hammer. Though it
was very sore he kept at work until
Tuesday afternoon when it became so
painful he was forced to quit. He went
to Dr. Donaldson, who upon examination
found one of the bones broken.
Onr sales this week have been large
and very satisfactory both to the buyer
and to ourselves. The large stock of
diamonds we received last Saturday
went off like hot cakes and a second in
voice was telegraphed for, and we have a
very gaod selection on hand to-day. We
would call special attention to our line of
diamond studs ranging in price from $25
to f 100. They are beauties and no mis

An order has been issued requiring
section foremen on the Union Pacific
after the first of January to walk over
theirrespective sections on Sundays. The
custom heretofore has been for the fore
man to go over the section (or to send a
man) with the hand car, requiring usually
about two hours, as the sections are
about seven miles long to walk over
them will take the best part of the day,
and means work for the foreman every
Sunday in the year. Possibly there are
some good reasons for this order, but they
are not visible to persons having no
knowledge of railroad management.
There will ba some disadvantages con
nected with it which are quite plain to
"the non-professional eye. In case an
accident has happened to the track during
the preceding night, it may he nearly
noon before it is discovered, aud when
discovered nothing can be done towards
repairing it until the tools are procured.
It is unnecessary to state that section
bosses do not take kindly to the order,
but they should take comfort iu the re
flection that they are likely to become
good pedestrians, iu which profession
there is much renown and large profits.
