Sheridan county was visited by a
heavy fall of snow last Monday night.
It was quite cold here but heavy
clouds prevented a frost that would
have done serious damage to the
fruit crop.
A heavy frost visited this section
last Tuesday night and fruit growers
are afraid that it has killed the fruit
crop. Most of the early varieties of
fruit were in full bloom and the frost
probably killed the blossoms.
Last Saturday was a very warm day
and about every one you met on the
street had to remind you of the fact
that “it was very hot.” We heard it
so often during the afternoon that we
imagined it was warmer than it really
was.

F. W. Phillips was in from his Knox
county ranch yesterday and favored
this office with a short call. Frank
says that things are looking fine in
his section of the country, alfalfa
looking especially good. While Mr.
Phillips lives in Knox county, just

Last Monday Henry Bousch of
Saratoga township filed as a candidate

visor from the First district. This

filed for the nomination in this dis
trict, Fred Siebert, also of Saratoga
township, having filed for the repub
lican nomination a couple of weeks
ago. F. O. Haramerberg is the pres
ent member of the board from this
district.
A. Peterson, one of the hustling
farmers of Shields township, was a
caller last Monday extending his sub
scription. Mr. Peterson came to this
county and filed upon his farm on Maj
3, 1883, so that he has been a resident
of this county for thirty-one years
He was of the opinion that he had pul
in sufficient time upon the farm, and
as he has accumulated a nice juicy
little pile of the “long green” since
his arrival in this county, this spring
he rented his farm and as soon as he
finishes the improvements he is now
making thereon will move to this city
where he expects to build a home and
take life easy during the balance of
his alloted time upon earth.
O’Neill is now listed as one of the
important Nebraska towns in the di
rectory of the Western Union as it
has an up-town office. Last Saturday
the furniture and wires were installed
in the Brown cigar store and are all
ready for business. Mr. Brown is an
old telegrhph operator and will have
charge of the up-town station. It is
something that O’Neill has needed for
a number of years and we predict that
the Western Union will notice a ma
teria) increase in their business in this
city as a result of the new station.
A man had borrowed some money
from a friend and refused to give it
up. There had been no witnesses to
the transaction. When the lender
sued the borrower took advantage of
his constitutional rights of not testify
ing against himself, with the result
that the lender could not recover.
When they met on the stfetet sdhie
time later the lender ran up to the
borrower and shouted: “I've got four
witnesses anyway who know that I
loaned you the money. God and I
know and the devil and you know it.”

trespass, hunt or fish, upon the West
half of the west half of section 38,

YOUR skin is too valuable to you, to risk the use
of unknown and probably dangerous lotions.
L
Better be content with a rough, sallow com
plexion than to make it worse by using something
you know nothing about.
But you don’t have to do this.
We stake our reputation on our
Buttermilk Cerate.
It’s a real skin food that does not contain a single
grain of anything that is not beneficial. As
a beauty producing and preserving
preparation for the face
and hands, it has
no equal.
