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.

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
