A gentle zephyr is blowing from the west as we go to press with every indi cation of becoming a warm Chinook wind in a few hours. It t-wifefiorted that G.r6tftliri con templates the purchase of lots in the north part of town on 'which to put a house in the near future. A jolly crowd of young people went to Commissioner Johnson's last Saturday and spent the afternoon skatiug on his pond. A grand day of sport is reported by members of the party, The inquiries for land and demands for places to live, continue to come, and the people will begin to get here the fast of this month, as those who had places rented give possession march 1st. A. R. Dew has arranged to act as weather reporter at this place. He has some of the instruments and expects soon to be fully equipped. Then if we do not have the , right kind of weather we will know who to blame. Station Agent Pontius received a world's fair souvenir coin as a present from the Wells, Fargo Express Co. It is the first one of the coins to arrive at this point and Mr. Pontius is justly proud of it, coming from the source it did. It is reported that additional pas senger service is to be put on the F. E. & M. V. between Omaha and Chadron about April lirst. It is hoped that the new service will extend along this line and that it will come before thaldesof March are past. It started in Tuesday night for the coldest night of the season "and it suc ceeded. At 10 o'clock the thermometer showed 22 degrees below zero, but at that point it changed its course and yes terday morning early it showed but 14 degrees below and from that time it got warmer right along. C. E. Verity, cashier of the Bank of Harrison, left for Lincoln Friday even ing. He will likely see that an inde pendent is elected to the United States Senate, that a strict usury Jaw is passed and that a penalty be provided for any one who will not ride on a railroad pass, if he can get one. In addition to these little matters he will close up some real estate deals. Last week when the steam pump was twing operated it gave out. The plunger was taken out when it was found that the part which held one of the valves was broken, necessitating the raising of the pipe. It was found also that one of the pulleys for hoisting the pipe had been broken by some one who had borrowed it and after starting to raise it the rope began to give away, liaving been worn out and rotted out by being used and left out in the weather by those who had borrowed it, and an other rope had to be procured. Itii about time the village board made a rule to prohibit the tool going out of the S , pump house, or noon there will be none j Y 'W & teui left for the use of the village. PERSOSAL. J. C, L. Kaglaod was it) town Satui day. M. J. Blewitt was up f.-om Crawfopd Friday. C. S. Morrison want to Lusk the first of the week. J. F. Schulz contributed on subscrip tion last Friday. B. F. Johnson went to Crawford the first of the week Charles Newman went to Chadron Monday evening. G. W. Stevens started Monday evening for a visit to Illinois. H. L. Whitney was here Friday paying the F. E. & M. V. taxes. Mrs. M. C. Doan and daughter. Miss Daisy, were in town Saturday. Lea Garner, brother-in-law of W. B. Wright, was up from Whitney on Mon day, Mrs. Marsc.h, sister of Mrs. E. E. Liver more, arrived from Laramie Tuesday for a visit, Josh Baker returned yesterday from South Dakota and will remain in Sioux county. Rev. Snavely was in Harrison Monday looking after the interests of the Epis copal church. C. E. Haas has taken a thirty-day lay off and is looking after his interests in Sioux county. Presiding Elder Juljan came up Tuesday and held the first quarterly con ference of the M. E. church. Don't forget that the masquerade ball will occur one week from next Tues day evening at the court house. The band boys say it is to be the best dance ever held in Harrison. Steps are being taken to have a post- office established at Andrews, one at Pleasant Ridge, just across the Wyom ing line and one in the vicinity of Five Points. They would prove a great con venience to the people of the various lo calities. Postal facilities are always appreciated. Correspondence is being had relative to a mill here with different parties, and it is quite probable that some of them will decide to put in a mill. When they investigate and And what an excellent quality of wheat is grown here they will realize that a mill will be a paying in vestment and will not ask for a bonus. It is reported that a few days ago the weather was so cold at Lincoln that the town clock ceased to run and re mained at a standstill for several hours, until the sun came out and thawed it out. People are foolish to live in such a cold country. They should move to Sioux county and bring their town clock w,ith them. Lawrence, the 4-year-old son of Mrs, L. Atchison, died at Deadwood, S. D. Jan. 25th. The remains were brought here last Saturday accompanied by Mrs. Atchison and the funeral occurred at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Thomas on Sunday, Rev. Glasner officiating. The cause of the death of the child was pneumonia. In most of the counties of Nebraska the taxpayers have to pay a lot of taxes to meet the interest and principal of bonds voted to secure railroads. In this respect Sioux county is much better off. The F. E. & M. V. last week paid to the county treasurer a little over $5,300 and a short time lief ore the B. & M. paid something over $1,900. As there are no county bonds or railroad bonds on any part of Sioux county, and the county being out of debt, those sums go quite a ways toward meeting the expenses of the county. Robert Wilson of this place is a good deal worried for the safety of his brother, Rev. Wm. Wilson, whom many of our people will remember. He left Hams Forks, Wyo., on Dec. 29, 1892, for Lan der, Wyo., and has not been heard from since. It was his practice to write to his family in the east twice each week. He was about 50 years old, about five feet, eight inches tall and weighed 150 pounds. He is supposed to have left Hams Forks, Wyo., on Dec. 29th . with three horses and a road cart. Robert Wilson is mak ing every effort he can to find some trace of him. A paper has been circulated and quite numerously signed setting forth that the place kept by C. R. Wadsworth is a nuis ance and asking the village board to cause its removal. That the place is a nuis ance all will admit, but whether or not the village board has any way of re moving it is a question. If the finances of the village will admit of a legal light the board could do something but if not its hands are tied and the only course will be for those who desire an action commenced to put up tiie money for the expense. The people have become heart ily tired of the way the liquor traffic has been conducted in this place during the past year and some way - should be de vised to compel liquor dealers to comply with the law. Rev. Glasner steps pretty high of late because his grand-child at Stuart was given a prize recently at a Kickapoo Indian show, for being the handsomest baby in attendance, The repairs for the steam pump are not likely to be here for some days yet. The water supply may run low but there will be enough to supply the ordinary demands. It is the first time such a thing has occurred for nearly three years and it is hoped it will be still better guarded against in future. The parties from Illinois and south ern and eastern Nebraska who were here last fall and took land and others who have never been here will arrive some time during the present month, and from the inquiries for land and the sales being made it is safe to predict that many others will soon be in Sioux county to live and that means added values to property and iqcreased prosperity for all. This is "ground hog" day and accord ing to the old saw it will be six weeks before spring opens in good shape for to day is bright and clear and his ground hogship could have no trouble in seeing his shadow. It is a question, judging from the past, whether the ground hog knows anything about Sioux county and if he does it is thought by many that lie wields no influence over the coming of spring. The Chadron-Casper flyer yesterday was nearly five hours late; The eccen tric on the engine got to slipping at Glen and a delay of an hour was made there. At length Andrews was reached and after a delay of some hours the conduc tor sent a report up by the section forer man, who accompanied by a couple of the passengers came up on a handcar. The train finally got here and so business was enabled to go along. After a trial of eight months in the issuing of a semi-weekly the editor of the Rushvilie Standard expresses him self as satisfied witli the result and prom ises his patrons that he will continue to send them two papers a week until such time as he shall feel warranted in issuing a tri-weekly. He justly gi ves the busi ness men credit for the Jiberal support extended and he is to be commended for the enterprise shown and the quality of the Semi- Weekly Standard. The list of marriage licenses as pub lished in the Omaha Bee. of January 25th statl that a legal permit to wed had been granted to Thomas Reidy and Miss Mabel J. Robinson. From that it is in ferred that Sioux county's efficient sher iff has been made a captive as well as having effected a capture. The newly married pair are expected to arrive in Harrison in the near future and their many friends will gladly welcome them and extend wishes to them for a long and prosperous married life.

ISADOR RlCHSTEIN. Thos. Reidy, Auctioneer. Nothing Else Like It. When the publishers decided to issue the Journal twice a week at th? same price of the old weeklies, $1.00 per year they struck just what the public wan ted something between the old fashioned weekly and the high-priced daily. The success of the Semi- Weekly Journal has been immediate and continued. It has distanced every one of its once-a-week rivals. It doesn't take long to convince people that a good live paper every Tues day and Friday is better than only one a week, especially when you appeal to their pocket books, and give it to them at the same price. Readers will testify that it is almost as good as a daily. Its markets twice a week are worth the money. Four complete novels each year by "The Duchess," Miss Braddon, and other widely known authors, alone are worth the dollar. Its legislative news is its strong point just now. It is wide-awake, spends money tor news, and is always in the lead. You can see its superiority over the old-fashioned week ly. Evervone who suhsrrihes now cots a Seaside Library free.
