Official Paper Sherman County
A new brick school house this
summer will add to the looks of our
little city very materially.
Thirty-six locomotives are now
being build in the United States for
the railroad known as the Uganda
line in Africa.
Andrew Caruigie has declared a
10 per cent increase in the wages of
his 10,000 employes. And the pops
are correspondingly disconsolate. A
raise in wages is another nail in their
wooden overcoat.
The school board are wasting no
time but are working with a will to
complete arrangements us early as
possible and be ub.e to lay the olans
for a new buildiug intelligently be
fore the people. Any instructive
suggestions will be welcomed by
them.
Sherman county has paid off all of
her obligations that she cun get a
bold ot and is offering a two per
cent per annum bonus for tbe length
of time they run for the privelageof
paying others. Very few counties
in tbe slate are in as good condition
as we are.
The United Slates, Great Britain
and Germany have at last agreed up
on a commission to settle the Samoan
question and the distinguished in
ternational dignaturies are on their
way in a U. 8. naval vessel to inter*
view the niggers of the south seas.
The ten dollar dinner of Belmont,
Croker et. ai., the other day in hon
or of “Jeffersonian simplicity" is said
to have been u grand gathering of
the “simple." The only thing lack
ing was our boy oraior to give them
a taste of the genuine article of “sim
plicity" as viewed from a steen-to
wun stand point.
If you receive any sweetmeats
through the mail, don't cat them
as some friendly fiend may have con
tracted the Borgia disease and be
trying to make an angel of you. Two
cases of this kind have happened in
Nebraska, in the past two weeks, and
it is hard to tell who the spirit of
the notorious Lucretia may abide in
for a time.
Bellamy Storer of Cincinnati, 0.,
and our present minister to Belgium,
lias been appointed to tbe consulate
made vacant a year ago by Spain
banding to minister Woodford bis
pass-port, and diplomatic relations
between this country and tbe land of
the Don will be immediately resum

Tbe formal declaration of peace
between tbe foiled States and Spain
was sealed and delivered to the i
President on tbe llth inst. Just
ten days lacking of one year from
tbe date of tbe declaration of war
by our congress. In that short space
of time a proud and hauty people
have l*eeu completely subdued, their
navy almost annihilated and their j
colonies principally taken from them. 1
The 15, of Feb. I Bits, i)m day upon
which our gallant ship Maiue, was
destroyed in Havana harbor, will go j
down in history as the day that
Spain com nutted suicide.
The Peace congress proposed by
tbe vJur. will meet next mouth at
the llsgue, Which tjuvebe \V libel
into* has graciously requested them
to make tbe point of remit/run The
object of tb* toogrvss as laid down
in the articles to le considered, do .
not contemplate disarmament, but
the agreement of the uati >its of tli<
earth not to increase their already
immense armies and navies, either
to nllow any mote powerful < agine*
aad explosives of warfare to tie In
tented, and to promote arbitration
as the best means of lessening wars.
The prospects are that it will am ml
to a grand junketing lour for the
Jelegalee selected, at the eipense of

Custer count\ lias added another
t< her long lnr of cold blooded mur
ders by the killing of Win. llougli
of Broken Bow. at II \ minis, laM
Pridnv. Mr Hough was killed h\
one Fred Mollli, who shot him twice
through the abdomen with a 45 cali
ber revolver. The men had not met
previously for several > ears, aec »rd
ing to the Custer County Republican,
and Molllt shot hint just as he came
out of the wash iooiu at the hotel,
Hppareutly without exchanging
words. An old fued was the cause.
A grand reception was given the
Raleigh, one of Dewey’s vessels that
took part iu his famous victory at
Mauila, on Mu) 1st |k|)8ou her ar
rival at New York, Sunday last. The
River parade also contained two
Spanish wur vessels, the Alvarado,
and the Sandoval which was captur
ed during the Spanish war last Sum
mer. The Raleigh, Captain Coghlau,
was the hero of the occasion, and
will long renumber her triumphal
entry into New York harbor after
her gallant defense of the stars and
snipes.
Our last congress utterly failed to
make au appropriation for the higher
studies of naval architecture an ha*
been conducted try Lieut, Hobson at
Annapolis Md., for some \eurs and
the navy department is sending 4
students abroad for that purpose,
two ter Glasgow, Scotland, and two
to I’aris, France. This practice used
to be carried out some years ago un
til the jealousy of the home students
towa.d the yunkee caused these
countries to refuse to admit them,
and also that it was considered that
America excelled in this art. But
if such a lack of patriotic interest
is to he allowed to continue w»* may
not hold that distinction long.
That it pays to advertise is proven
by the experience of an Iowa girl.
She advertised for a husband and
found one. The total expense in
curred in the use of printer s ink
and wedding outfit was £!>. Shortly
after the marriage he enlisted in the
Spanish Americun war. He was kill
ed in one of the battles and left an
insurance of $:i,000 to his wife. She
will also draw a widows pension in a
short time.—Ex.
