Superintendent Harris and Assistant General Freight Agent Merchant made a trip over this division the first part of the week. Heavy hail storms and high winds are reported from a great many jarts of the east and ulso from numerous places in this state.' During the high wind last week the braces in the elevator belonging to the Howard Grain Co. gave way, but no serious damage was done. ., Miss Stridors oil last Monday evening organized a lodge of Good Templars here. The lodge starts out with sixteen charter members. Those who were here io 1888 say Kit the present season is very much as was that year. As excellent crops were raised that year the farmers all feel good over the prospects. T. O. Williams has completed a well for Ed. Smiley and is now putting one down for C. B. Underbill. From there he expects to go to Henry Covey's and , after that to the Phillips boys and Jim Smileys. He will not have much time to fool around this summer, A farmer was in town lust week to see what he had to do to protect him fself. tie, with some neighbors, were dickering with some horse dealers at Crawford some time ago for the pur chase of a si a) lion and this man had signed notes anu mortgages tor over a thousand dollars. The deal fell through . and he di.l not take the precaution to get his paper back and thought no more about it until a short time ago he learned that the mortgage had been put on record at the office of the county plerk. It will cost him some trouble and money to get out of the scrape and it Is safe to believe that he will be more careful in future about signing papers. Too much care cannot be exercised in such matters, especially when dealing With strangers, and it is much better to ' deal with pMpll you know whs met it Old papers for sale at The Jocrkal dice. 5 cents per dozen. A new boy arrived at the home of W. O. Patterson the first of the week. J. W. Scott has the addition to h restuaiant ready for occupancy. T. O. Williams is preparing to build an addition to his dwelling house. j. .ii. .uanieis nas purchased a cigar and confectionary stand in Crawford. H. T. Conley is treating his residence to a coat of paint, Dave Bartlett is doinj the work. Rev. Glasner will preach at Bodarc next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock and here, in the evening. liT E. F. Pontius goes to Ca)er Satur x say eveninr to stav durinir the tniimr- ary absence of the agent of that place, J o 1 Will and Miss Wanda will have chargi of the railroad business here during the absence of their father. J. 31. Smiley has filed on a quarter section of laud a few miles east of town near the rest of the Seward folks who are in that direction. He will build in the near future, so that the improve ments in that locality will be still more noticublo. It is expected that a change will o cur in the express company doing busi ness hre. The Wells, Fargo Company is expected to give way to the American Company. No reduction in rates will likely be made so it matters little to the people. ' The hotel at Lusk was partially de strayed by fire on Sunday and the trains have been stopping here for botli dinner and supper. Arrangements have been made for meals to be furnished by Agent Pontius at the depot, which much more convenient for the travelling public. This office is in receipt of a copy of Notes on a new Order of Gigantic Fossils," by Prof. Edwin H. Barbour. i ne work treats ot the tossils known in this locality as "Devils corkscrews,'' and contains much interesting information and comprehensive illustrations. Griswold & Marsteller receivod car load of barbed wire the first of the week. That is the second full car load tbey have received this' snrrng,' besfdes quite an amount by Seal freight; 'That will give pijoplav.n idea of how improve ments are going on. P It would be a good plan for the village board to do something with the old calaboose buildinp-. It is neither useful nor ornamental as it is and it would be better to sell it or tear it down and make use of the material for sidewalks than to let it remain as it is. H. T. Conley received a letter from W. F. Kittering a few days ago, which says that there will be enougli people come to Sioux couuty from Seward next spring to make two or three special trains. If the season continues as favor able as it has-been so far people will be falling over each other to get land in Sioux county. The further the season advances the more favorable are the farmers becom ng impressed with the press drills for putting in grain. There is one thing which must be borne in mind and that is that before putting in grain with such machines the land must be worked down in good shape with the harrow 1 here is little doubt that fall grain put in properly with pre.vt drills will prove a profitable crop for this county. jk fatal shooting is reported to hive occurred not far from Lusk, Wyo., on Tuesday. It grew out of the old cattle men-rustler trouble. It seems that one man had threatened to kill another on sight and coming upon him he drew his gun, but the other man was too quick for him and shot him through the heart before he could eret action on his weapon. The county convention of the W. C. T. U. was held at the M. E. Church last Thursday. Reports were made by those in charge of the various departments and other routine work attended to. Mesdumes Hough. Williams and Smedes were elected delegate! to the district convention to be held at Hay Springs in June. The reports showed that the Loyal Tomperance Legion of Bodarc had 24 members and that of Harrison 43 members. It is a great annoyance to people to have the railroad crossing on the main street blocked by lbs evening train for twenty or thirty minutes. If there is no ordinance on this subject it would be well to call the attention of the railroad authorities to it, if not it would be a good plan to lve one, for people living south of town do not like to be delayed so long when they are ready to go home when there ia no need of it, A little care on the part of the train minis til tlltt ll Mtdtd. PERSONAL. F, 31. Smith was in town Monday. (. W. Hester was at Casiier last week. Mrs. Asa Davis left Saturday evening for Illinois. Mrs. G. H. Turner is hills this week. visiting in the b. R.

He selected a quarter section of land which he ex pects to purchase as soon as the title can be cleared up. The weather during the past week has been wet and cold and while it has not caused grain to make much show above ground it is trettiDsr trood stronsr roots and will grow all the better later on. Don't forget that Dr. Morrill will only be here until Monday and if you want anything done to your teeth you had better call and see him. Don't wait until he is gone and then suffer with the toothache. He is at the Harrison House. " There appears to be nothing new in regard to the railroad extension. Sur veyors are reported to be still at work west of Casper, but who it is and where they are going and how much, if any road will be built is still a mystery. -A freigot car, loaded with coal ran away at Fort Robinson Tuesday morn ing and was caught by the engine of the west bound train after a chase of nearly ten miles. A defective brake prevented the train men from stopping the car. No damage was done ezcept that the train was delayed for some time. -An examination of applicants for posi tions in the Indian service will be held at Rushville in the near future. But two applications have been made up to date and the committee is waiting for more applications before fixing the time for the examination.
