S. P. Delatour, who has a ranch
near Llewellyn, Duell county, has
iust received a train load of two-
year-old steers from New Mexico.
It is Mr. Delatour's intention to
sell the greater part of these steers
to local cattlemen. This is an ex
cellent move, and as cattle have
been pretty well cleaned out of this
and adjoining counties, it might be
well for growers to avail themselves
of this opportunity to stock up; or
if the supply is limited follow Mr.
Delatour s example and snip in a
train load. We are sure that the
banks of this city would be willing
to negotiate loans on cattle security

While in Judge Ray's office this
morning he handed us a copy of the
North Platte Republican of the
date of Jan. 15, 1881. Judge Ray
was then editor of the paper.
Among other items contained in the
issue is the following: "Harry
Wilkinson, who lives near the bluffs
on the south side, has faith in
farming. He has just put up a
large windmill and is building a
reservoir to hold 18000 gallons, and
is going to irrigate and raise a crop.
Success to you, Harry!" It will
thus be seen that windmill irriga
tion is not a new thing in this sec
tion. By means of the plant re
ferred to above Mr. Wilkinson suc
ceeded in raising a large amount of
small fruit, being the pioneer in
that direction.

LO AT THE THEATRE.
It was while Buffalo Bill's con
tingent of Sioux Indians was at
tending the performance of The
Strange Adventures of Miss Brown
at the Walnut Street Theatre, says
the Philadelphia Telegraph. The
aboriginies sat solemn but content
until "Mrs. G'Gallagher" in her
excitement over the elopement of
"Angela Brightwell" and "Cap
tain Courtney", seized her husband
by the lapels of his coat and pitched
him half way across the stage.
The effect on the Indians was
startling. They expected to see
the "Major" floor his wife with a
powerful blow. But he simply
apologized for interferring, and
continued with his lines. Then
the warriors assumed a look of dis
gust, and one big fellow sitting
next to the government agent
grunted out:
"Urh, white man a coward let
squaw beat him me scalp her."
What do you think was the uni
versal comment on the Indians' ap
pearance from the gentler portion
of the audience? It was:
"What a noble looking set of
men?"
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion oE the ear. There
is only one v:ay to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result, and un
less the inflamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nitie cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot bo cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free.
