Then there are .sa great many of iis old merchants that only handle one line, such as shoes, hardware or stationery, that, help to build up the town by renting a room , for each line separate, and giving employment to clerks for each business separate. " The ex perience of the cities should be re membered. The department stores theife are gradually crowding ' out the bid stores 'handling separate lines, and thereby depriving their patrons of the benefit of the credit system when they need an accom modation. ' It lays "with the trade here to "uphold the did business houses and the credit system. The way .to do so is patronize bnly those stores that, 'will extend, .accomnio-. dahon to you when yotneed it.

AN OPEN LETTER. 7CrT?TTT Pmwp TmItt lef IRQ JSditor Tribune: Dear Sir: Will you please per mit the following from one of your old advertising patrons? There has recently heeri opened a depart ment store in this city that has at tracted a great deal of attention by the system on which it does busi ness, mere are a great many things the people should consider in patronizing an establishment of that kind. First5 the old established houses, here have been here for years and grown up with the town, and have extended credit to a great majority of their customers, and still do so. A great many of our customers say that the Department store sells goods cheaper, which may be true, but we credit them and.of course have to havesome in terest onour moneyfahd then there are .a great many, losses in doing a is the third child and 'all of the same sex. . All doing,tl.. . This country wasjyelftrepresent ed at the county ,seat .lake Saturday. . Small srrain is on thei boom and promises to bt an abundant crop, R. W. Calhoun has one of the finest fields .of sod corn: in the val ley. . We are sorry to note; that our prayer meetings . have been .discon tinued indifinitely. ' East bound "prairie schooners" were. quite numerous-last week. W. J. Crusen of the Platte will preach at this place next Sunday at the usual hour. , t. It is reported that a certain gran ger in this locality is so affected by the hard times that he has hot washed himself for some time-for fear of losing some of his real estate. Farmers in the valley are having a hard time trying to subdue the weeds in their corn and potato fields. -Owing to the wet weather -D. W Baker and gang, ot tne nun, are having a hard time in constructing checks and drops along the F. & M. canal. i Rev. Finch, a Campbellite gospel expounder from- Lincoln, who is holdinjr a series of meeting's in the "Platte Valley" school house, preached to a large au dience at this place Sunday morning. He is ac companied by a renowned vocalist by the name of Hayes, also from the same city. : - There will be a basket picnic in A. M. Stoddard's grove near his residence inHinman precinct on the 4th of July, to which all are invited, Speaking, singing and different kinds of games and. f sports will occupy the time. Rev. Franklin met ,Jiis appoint ment at Hershey last, unday even ing for the first time in several weeks, owing to the inclemency of the weather. Mrs. Wm., Brown ami daughter Emma, of North Plallte, were up in this locality yesterday.-Mrs. Brown remained as the guest of Mrs. H. W. Fogel at Hershey, Miss Emma returning home the same day. A good substantial bridge now spans the Spurrier lateral just not th of the four corners, greatly to . the relief of those residing north of the- same. Dug Brown put in the most of the day-Saturday wjth ateam and mower, slaying, weeds ajround.his place, which adds greatly -to the ap pearance, of the same. ..If others in this locality - would do likewise a great change for the better would be noted. "Old Dame Rumor" says .that a certain young gent in this commun ity made the "break" recently 4hat he did not like to take his best girl. :o meeting in a-school house where they were all single seats. "Dad" Wolfe, who returned from the south side a few days since 're ports crops of all kinds in that sec tion as below par. This week started in fair and farmers are slaying the alfalfa in great shape. Fall gram and barley will do to harvest next week if all is well. A new school housewill be erected near old O'Fallon this season for the benefit of the seed farm and Swede settlement which are located near there. J. H. Hershey and O. H. Eyerly were hub visitors yesterday. . "Observer," from Hershey, in the Era seems to think that the secre tary of the town site company' at that place is not "up to snuff." . J. H. Hershey says he never had a: Ibetter .prospect' for raspberries At the school meeting: in this dis trict a vote" was taken to hire the same ieacher for the coming year that ta'Ugh't it the past year, which resulted in a vote of three to one for so doing. Whether the board will ignore the same remains yet to be seen. The newly elected director said previous to election that he was in favor of her, but since we have been informed by good author ity that he has said that he would not hire her at all. The ireasurer is in favor ot her, and the moderator has talked the same way; but we have been informed lately that he has "flew the track," but he re quested the treasurer to write her in regard to the vote as taken at the school meeting, which was done forthwith. What the result will be is hard to determine at this writ ing. Pat. . MILLER MATTERS. The annual school meeting of district No. 39, Miller precinct, came off at the appointed time with the following" results: Voted a nine mill tax six for teachers' fund and three for incidentals. Elected Fritz Weinburg treasurer, W. Scott Vaughn director. Decided to have eight months school, to commence in September. Quite a popular move, as we have only had six months school heretofore. Voted Thos. Rowley the thanks of the meeting for services faithfully per formed as director for many vears passed, which he accepted with his accustomed modesty. Our crops continue to thrive, and so do the weeds. Miss Kate McGlone is the guest of Miss Annie Faka this week. Miss Allie Beach is staying in town now attending the summer normal. Mrs. John Neary paid a visit at Lamplugh's lake Saturday and Sunday. The roads are in very bad shape on account of the recent rains, and will give the road overseers lots to do to make them passable before haying begins.

John Marcott and Mrs. Nellie Dubrey were arrested in Cheyenne last Saturday charged with adul tery. They both came here some two months ago, from Brady Island, Nel. . Mrs. Annie Marcott, wife of John Marcott, swore out the com plaint. She arrived from Brady Island Friday morning. Mrs. Dubrey has not lived with her husband for over two years. She was living at Brady Island with a wagon maker named Wilson, and was known there as Mrs. Frankie Wilson. She is a rather good look ing blonde, 28 or . 30 years of age. She has a little girl three years old with her.- Marcott was conducting a drug business in the little Nebraska town, is 40 years old, and has been married nineteen years. Both prisoners were released on bail, Margaret Henne becoming surety for Marcott. Mrs. Dubrey being released on her own recogniz ance! When the case was called by Judge Stone this morning the man failed to appear, and the case was continued for one week. Some dis agreeable complications are liable to result from the case. Mrs. Dubrey has a couple of uncles at Casper, and thinks her husband is also there. She is most desirous of finding him. Cheyenne Daily Sun-Leader. ' Kebraska Botes. A feature of the celebration at Nebraska City will be an old fashioned barbecue. An apple tree near Superior is in blossom for the second time-this season. Frost killed the first bloom. David Thomas of Platte county, bored 113 feet for water and struck the artesian variety. In counties having township organization and an excess -Aof!T statesmen out of a job, the new supervisor law is odious beyond , measure. It cost Colfax county S3, 000 last year to support its paupers, ardthe f Schuyler Quill thinks the time . is ripe for building a house on the county poor farm. . ' How the poor people in the;, drouth-stricken states east of its, . says the York Times, must enyy the residents of Nebraska! They: will be moving this way this ffall. The Friend Telegraph thinks that the man who is able to take a newspaper but prefers to borrow is so stingy he would talk through his . nose to save wear and tear of teeth. Willis Allen of Beaver City fell from a raft into deep water narowly escaping drowning. He was pulled out by a companion after going under for the third and last time. The forty acres of corn near Crete, planted by Mr. Meiser in t March, and a foot high May 1, stood the frost, dry hot weather and hard wiads better than the latter plant ing, says the Crete Democrat. It is now too big for cultivation and has been "laid by." While the family were at Sunday school, a swarm of bees lighted and hived themselves in the house of Solomon Cummings of Newcastle. They found entrance through a knot-hole and located between the plaster and sheeting. Mr. p. has : made several attempts to remove the bees but was unsuccessful. -- i I i .
