Spring Indications.
The indications of spring are now
fast developing. The air will soon be
laden with sweet perfume of apple,
plum and cherry blossoms and spring
onions; the horn of the fish peddler
floats upon the balmy breeze and is
mingled with the seductive notes ema
nating from the interior conscience of
the festive tree agent and the persu
asive lightning-rod man. The lilac
bush will soon burst out in itsshowers
of blue and white simultaneous with
the dude whose exterior measures the
shallowness of the Interior of his cra
nium; the ladies, heaven bless ’em,
are arrayed in light and airy raiment,
summer silks, charming head gear,
just too sweet for anything. The great
American institution, the tramp,
starts out from bis winter quarters
and hies off to the rural districts,
beating sap out of railroad ties, and
the farmer out of a square meal, giv
ing a wide berth to wood piles, bull
dogs and city marshals; the kids,
with an eye to business, are gather
ing up the empty beer bottles in the
highways and byways, and disposing of
them for base balls and bats; the
young men gather themselves togeth
er into parties of three and four, dig
bait, cut poles, and then “cut sticks”
for the happy fishing grounds, with a
couple of sandwiches in their pockets
and a case of b-r under the seat;
the spring poet, the same one we kill
ed last year, comes to life again, and
springs more of the tame kind upon
the impecunious pencil pusher, put
ting the latter into a helpless state of
lassitude, and a “tired” feeling gener
ally; the old man puts new hinges on
the iron gate, whitewashes the chick
en coop, digs in the garden about five
minutes, and then goes down to the
drug store and swears for “back ache;”
his better half has a wild look in her
eye as she sits down and tells the hir
ed girl that they’d better commence
on “the best room” first; Charlie, ar
rayed in ice cream pants and a 15 cent
straw hat calls on Mary Ann, and
wipes all the paint off the front step;
brick blocks spring up like mushroons
in the night; wagons loaded down
with feather beds, stove pipe andet
oetras, start on their erratic career
from one end of the city to the other,
closely followed by the old man with
the dock under one arm and a mfrfdr
under the other, and {“God bless our
home” strung around his neck. Indi
cations on every hand tell us that
spring is here.
Emma Ellis has filed her petition in
the district court praying for a divorce
from Frank Ellis. They were married
at Iowa City, Iowa, August 14,1875,
and have been residents of this county
for over eighteen years. In her petit
ion she alleges extreme cruelty; that
at various times since their marriage
he has struck her with his fists and
has whipped her with a blacksnake
whip. She alleges that Mr. Ellis is
worth $75,000 above his indebtedness.
That he owns 480 acres of land In
Boyd county and 2600 acres in this
county. She alleges that what prop
erty he is now possessed of was secur
ed through the efforts of both of them
and she asks for half his property as
alimony. She further asks that he be
compelled by court to pay her $50 per
month for her support during the
pendency of this action.
The recent legislature passed a law
requiring the payment of an annual
tax of $2 for each automobile in the
state, the tax to be paid to the county
where the owner of the machine lives
and to be used for road making pur
poses. The bill will go into effect
July 7. Under its provision the fee of
$2 mnst be paid annually to the coun
ty treasurer of the county where the
applicant lives. The county treasur
er will issue a receipt showing pay
ment to him. The applicant must
send this receipt to the secretary of
state, who will in turn send a blank
form to be filled out and this form
must then be sent back to the secre
tary of state who will assign a number
for the automobile and issue a license
for one year or whatever portion of
the year remains after all of this red
tape has been complied with. The
fee for motorcycles is $1. Under this
law counties that have a large number
of automobiles will reap considerable
revenue.
Walt Mason in the Sioux City Jour
nal: It’s waking and sleeping
and heaving a sigh, and watch
ing and weeping, and saying
goodby. It’s long hours of labor and
short hours of rest, its helping our
neighbor, and doing our best. Its fast
ing and dining and striving in vain,
and joy and repining, and sunshine
and rain. It’s laughing and crying,
its darkness and light, and wishing
the dying a loving good-nigbt. Its
dancing and walling and battling
with men, succeeding and failing, and
trying again. I’ts wooing and mating,
it’s foolish and wise, its loving and
hating and dealing in lies. Man says
Its dreary, as graveyard he goes; he
says he is weary and longs for repose:
he says it is hollow, deluding and vain,
and others who follow repeat the re
frain. But I shall not hurry this old
world to leave; what though it may
worry and gall us and grieve? It gives
us good measure of joy as we go; there’s
always a pleasure to pay for a woe;
I’m fond of the mixture of
laughter and tears; I’d fain be a fix
ture for ten thousand years.
Supervisors Grimes, Hunter, Simar,
Prussa, Sullivan Selvers and Hammer
berg left for Boyd county this after
noon where they go to consult the
Boyd county board regarding the
bridge which they contempl 'te build
ing accross the Niobrara river south of
Butte under the state aid bridge law
passed by the last session of the legis
lature. The members of the county
board believe that as the bridge bill
originated iu this county that we are
entitled to get in on the ground floor
and expect to make all preliminary ar
rangements and file their application
with the State Irrigation board at
once.
Omaha papers report that the con
tract has been let by the Nebraska
Transportation company to the Baker
Construction company of Omaha for
an inturban railroad to run from Oma
ha to Sioux City and from Omaha
to Norfolk with a branch at Madison.
Altogether 284 miles of track will be
built with a power house near Elk
City on the Platte river, capable of
generating twenty-one thousand
horse power. Two and a half years
will be required to complete the road,
and the cost will approximate eight
millions. Arrangements for financing
it have been completed with Europe*
an capitilists. Sixty miles of right-of
way have been secured and the con
struction will start at once. The plan
Ib to build a double track to Elk City
from Omaha and from there run on?
line to Sioux City and the other to
Norfolk. It is said there will be
through service from Norfolk to Oma
ha every two hours. Possibly the
south part of this county could induce
this company to bring their line
through that territory, say by build
ing up from Albion or Elgin across to
O’Neill. Several residents of south
ern Holt have expressed their willing
ness t o make subtantlal financial con
tributions to an enterprise of this
kind and this newly organized com
pany might be induced to build.

Martin—Shannon Nuptials.
A quiet but interesting wedding oc
curred at the home of Mrs. Augusta
Martin, in O’JSelll, at noon, Wednes
day, April 26,1911, where her son Burl
H. Martin was united in marriage to
Miss Iola Pearl Shannon, both ot Dal

Impressive ring service.
The bride was gowned in a beauti.
ful creation of white messeline and
carried a bouquet of bridal roses, and
was attended by Miss Mabel Martin, a
sister of the groom, who served as

becoming suit of black, was attended
by Mr. George Henry, of Dallas, 8. D.,
who acted as best man.
The wedding march was .endered
by Miss Goldie Martin, a sitter of the
groom.
After the ceremony Rud heartiest
congratulations, a delicious aud boun
tiful repast was served, to which, ail,

tlce. All things considered, such ex
ception is not to be wondered at, for
it was certainly a trying ordeal for
him, but he will recover.

Dallas, S. D. where he is established
in business. **«

South Omaha, Nebr., April 25th,
—Special weekly market letter from

Contrary to the general expecta
tions the receipts are coming very lib
eral again this week with a continu
ation of the decline in values. It had
been expected that receipts would be
quite moderate this week and that
there would be some improvement in
prices, but it looks as if feeders were
discouraged in holding out and were
bound to let them come. There is lit
tle change in good quality Stockers
and feeders and strange to say, farm- ?
ers are willing to take them out at
these high prices in the face of the
low price on killers.
