Ex-county commissioner Bake-
well, of Logan county, got in a snap
the other morning-. After building
a fire in the stove he noticed smoke
pouring from the roof of his house.
Hurriedly calling his - children to
climb upon the roof, knock a hole
therein and pour on water, he tried
to climb into the attic through a
small trap-door. He got his head
and shoulders through, and there he
stuck, while the children, who had
cut a hole in the roof directly over
him, were pouring the water down
upon him at a furious rate. It was
some time before he could make
them understand that he was bein?
drenched with ice cold water. In
vestigation developed that the
smoke came from a disjointed stove
pipe. The boys are having consid

The Kirmess given at the opera
house on Tuesday evening by the

proved a very pretty entertainment.
The dozen dances were excellently
executed by those taking part; in
fact it was a source of surprise that
the younger ones-could be taught
so perfectly in the short time which
was allotted to practice. The
changes in some of the dances were
difficult, yet they were executed
gracefully and with precision, thus
giving evidence of Mr. Stuff's abil
ity 41s an instructor. The costumes
has been busy for a day or two un
packing goods,, Mr. Weber, while
in Chicago, bought an unusually
large stock, arid he will be prepared

The form which the applicant
tor relief from the state commission
is requested to fill out and sign
would seem-toTje a pretty effectual
safeguard against the danger of
furnishing relief to unworthy ap
plicants. The applicant is re
quested to state, the number in his
family, what personal -property he
own, specifiying the nnmber of cat
tle, horses, mules and hogs; the
number of acres of grain he had in
1894, specifying the corn, wheat,
oats and barley as well as the pota
toes; the number of bushels of each
raised and the amount now on
hand. He must make oath that he
is, and has been for six months
prior to Januarv 1, 1895, a resident
court house Wednesday evening for
the purpose of appointing a county
central relief committee to receive
and distribute through precinct
committeemen the relief to be
furnished by the state. The com
mittee appointed numbered about
a dozen and includes the county
commissioners and the county clerk.
It is thought there are six hundred
farmers in the count' who will need
seed and feed.
Mr. Stuff announces the re
organization of his dancing classes,
commencing to-morrow afternoon.
The children's class will be held
from 2 to 4 and private lessons for
ladies and gentlemen will be given
by appointment both afternoons and
evenings. Rates and dates made
known upon application to Mr.
Stuff at the Hotel Neville. " A series
of select dancin&r oarlies will be
x -
given at Lloyd's, commencing next
Friday evening, at which instruc
tion will be given in the later soci
ety dances in connection with a reg

The people of Cozad are wide
awake on the irrigation question,

ject is a sure "go" work having been
already commenced upon the canal.
The Cozad enterprise virtually com
