everybody, and such low prices as only this store is noted for. We challenge comparison on any item quoted below, confident that
our prices are unquestionably the lowest.

Win. tfeigler, living near Ogallala
was bitten on the thumb last week
by a rattlesnake. He promptly cut
the finger with a knife so that it
bled profusely and then hurried to
town and had remedies applied. He
is not sulfering much from the re
sult of the poison. '
During a storm in Custer county
a few days ago hail measuring
twelve inches in circumference and
weighing seven ounces were picked
up. Fortunately the hail was not
thick enough to do much damage
to crops.
Perry Yeast shipped 1,500 head
ol cattle from Oregon last week to
his ranch north of Ogallala. where
they will be pastured.
General Manager Dickinson went
through in special car 04 on train
No. 1 Saturday.
"A Solus nt tlio Hay Barn.
Friday evening at eight o'clock a
special train steamed out of North
Platte station bound for Ilershey.
The train carried about forty young
people who a week before had been
notified by Messrs. Dwyer, Hill.
Michclsen, Eves, Seeberger and
Leypoldt that there would be "a
doins in the hay barn at Ilershey"
on that date. The departure of the
train was marked by a display of
Roman caudles which made some of
the small boys at the station think
that Fourth of July was about to
commence all over again.
The train pulled into the siding
at Ilershey just opposite of the
hay bam, which is a structure built
of corrugated iron and large enough
to accommodate either a great many
tons of hay or a large number of
people desirous of "tripping the
light fantastic." The North Platte
delegation was hcartly welcomed
by the hosts and a large number of
other Ilershey citizens. They were
immediately escorted into the barn
which was handsomely decorated
with bunting and Hags and lighted
with electric ? lights. A lloor had
been laid in the larger part of the
barn and a platform built for the
orchestra which consisted of a voilin.
an organ and a comet. Swung
above the iloor was a very approp
riate motto "Hay thar."
As soon as the visitors had divest
ed themselves of their wraps the
first strains of the orchestra were
heard and the music was so enticing
that almost every one's feet com
menced instinctively to beat time.
About fifty couples took part in the
grand march which was followed
by a quadrille. From then until
nearly midnight the dances follow
one another very rapidly and to say
that all who were dancing had an
enjoyable time conveys but a faint
idea of their real feelinifs.
Just before midnight E. P. See
berger. one of the hosts, introduced
W. L. Brownfield as the finest
dancer in Ilershey. A signal was
given to the orchestra and a lively
jig time was struck up. Mr. Brown
field then danced a jig which would
have been a credit to a professional
jig artist. The mandolin club then
gave several musical selections
which were heartily applauded.
Three couples gave a very graceful
cake walk which "brought down
the house."
After the cake walk lunch was
served to the guests. The tables,
very appropriately, were made of
piles of baled hay over which the
snowy damask was spread. The
hosts, assisted by a number of Iler
shey ladies, had prepared a yery
tempting lunch to which the guests
did full justice. After lunch a few
more dances were danced and then
the North Platte guests boarded
their train for home, tired but
happy. They carried with them the
memory of a royal good time. The
gentlemen who arranged the affair
proved themselves to be ideal hosts
and made every possible provision
for the comfort of their guests.
Mrs. Emma Sickles has recently
patented a very valuable invention
which will use a considerable por
tion of Nebraska's surplus soil.
Mrs. Sickles' home is in Dawes
county, Nebraska, but of late years
she has been in Washington pursu
ing a scientific course ofstudy. In
the progress of her scientific re
searches Mrs. Sickles discovered
that the rancid oil in the germ of
each kernel of corn could be purif
ied by the use of Nebraska earth
