ur. anu Mrs. vvm. mves were
down from Hershey yesterday
transacting business and visitiug
triends. The Doctor has a large
practice and is kept on the go all
the time, in fact he is so busy that
yesterday was the first time in
three months he had an opportunity
to come to North Platte.
During last year the North Platte
roller mills shipped out seventy
five carloads of flour and twenty
five cars of feed. When it is taken
into consideration that but very
little wheat was raised in Lincoln
county in 1900 and 1901, the output
ot the mill ior last year was larger
than one would reasonably expect
In addition to the shipments made
many cars of the mills' products
were sold in the local market and
from the inille.
Sorprlso Party.
About twenty locomotive engi
neers and their wives tendered a
surprise party to Mr. and Mrs. W,
rf. Fikes Saturday evening. The
ccasion of this gathering was the
hirtieth wedding anniversary of
VI r. and Mrs. Fikes, who were
narricd in Omaha January 4, 1872.
Not an inkling of the proposed in
vasion had reached the ears of Mr.
and Mrs. Fikes, and as might be
expected, the worthy couple was
greatly surprised, in fact so much
so that Mr. Fikes, who is easily
embarrassed, went into a swoon,
and it required George Austin sey
cral minutes to get Mr. Fikes on
his feet. Mrt. Fikes was equal to
the emergency, however, and gave
the invaders a hearty reception, in
which Mr. Fikes joined after he
recoyercd.
The evening was devoted to
playing cards and everybody had a
jolly and pleasant time. The
gucBts had provided ample refresh
ments and these were Bcrycd at
the conclusion of the card games.
As a token ot the esteem in
which Mr. and Mrs. Fikes arc held
by those present, they were the
recipients of a ycry handsome
silver tea set, the presentation
speech being made by George Vro
man. The response by Mr. Fikes
gave evidence of the high regard in
which the token would be held by
Mrs, Fikes and himself.
The guests departed at midnight
wishing Mr. and Mrs. Fikes many
returns of the day.
Public Land Dlclsion.
Eight. montliB actual residence
sufficient for commutation proof
on Homestead Entries.
On December 0, 1901 the secretary
of the interior in the case of Isaac
N. Fry vs. Christian C. Kupfer,
rendered decision reversing the
Commissioner, and holding that
the six months allowed in home
stead entries for the entryman to
establish residence on the land
should be regarded an-part ot the
fourteen months residence required
after settlement in cases where the
entryman desires to commute or
pay out on the land, in other words
a person entering ahoracstead may
go upon the land and perform some
act otsettlcment and will then be
allowed six months from date of
entry to establish actual residence
on the land, then must reside upon
the land eight months, making
fourteen mouths from date of entry
and settlement when proof may be
olfered and payment made.
This ruling will be of interest to
the settlers on the Fort McPherson
reservation and others who expect
to commute their entries.

Hay Shipments.
During the year 1901 there were
billed from this station 854 cars of
hay, forty-three more cars than In
IVUU. These cars averaged ten
tons each and the average price
paid for the hay was six dollars
per ton. This would give the
total shipments the value of $51,
210.00. It is thought that the
shipments ot hay made from Max
well, Brady, Hershey, Sutherland
and sidings in the county during
the year nearly equalled the
amount billed from North Platte
so it is fair Jo state that the total
amount shinned from the countv
would not iall far short of one
hundred thousand dollars in value

WALLACE WAIFS.
C. II. Walter, the Wallace stock

South Omaha.
Saturday the 28th seemed to be a
fateful day for people around Wal
lace. The youngest son of Mr. and
Mrs. II. J. Runner was found at
the rear of the barn about three
o'clock in the afternoon uncon
scious with the skin cut from the
bridge of the iiobc through the eye
brow over the right eye, torn loose
from the forehead a couple of
nehes and the skull cracked. Dr.
Buckner was called, the wound
dressed and the boy seems to be
getting along nicely., It is sup
posed a loose horse was responsible
for the accident. About 8:30 the
same evening Pat DOyle drove into
town with W. H. Weaver who had
his lett arm broken between the
elbow and shoulder. While round
ing up his stock early in the even
ing his horse stumbled and fell and
in the inixup his arm was broken
and he was otherwise bruised up.
Dr. Buckncr reduced the fracture
and so he is doiug nicely. Some
tune during the same day a sou of
ISIias Dancer was kicked by a horse
between the ankle and knce of
one of his lees and while no bones
were broken, it was a narrow
escape and the bruise is very paiti-
ful.

OCCASIONALLY you meet a
man who says he "can't af

the poorer a man is the less he
can afford to do without. If any
one needs theinvigoration of this
famous food-drink it . is the la

Don't let us confuse terms. Cost
is what you pay; value is what
