'J he Superior Guide, is the name of
n new paper just started at Superior,
Kuckolls Co., Neb. Todd & Graves,
editors and proprietor.
The IJarlan Co. , Standard has been
enlarged and otherwise improved, and
row presents as creditable an appearance
as any paper in the valley.
The persistency with which the small
boy will go fishing and catch nothing, is
equaled only by the man who opens shop
and fails to advertise. Ex.
No eastern state can boast the pur
ity of atmosphero that is found in Nc
biaska. Ex.
Nor as much of it.
W. W. Brewer, nn old resident of

With his accustomed liberality and
compassion for a hungry printer, Ben.
Vandyke presented yc editor with a mess
of nice fresh fibh from the placid waters
of ihcKepublican. Thanks.
Ono would think from the number
ofGroceiy stores in Bed Cloud, that
their would not be business for all, but
they seem (o do well, now ones starting
every week "'And htill there is more to
follow."
The foolish man foldeth his hands
nd faith: "There is no trade; why
should 1 advertise?" But the wise man
is net so. lie whoopcth it up in the
newspaper, and verily he draweth custo
mers from afar off. Ex.
Wilhclmson the butcher has gone
and done it got married to a Miss Kate
lTasse of Nauvoo 111. As usual in such
cacs the Chief was remembered, and it
wishes Mr. Wilhclmson and his bride, a
lorg r.ml a happy life.
The street sprinkler is all right for
the purpose fur which it was intended,
but it does not prevent the gravel stones
and pieces of plank from living through
the air and hammering people on the
head, these windy days.
Wc are glad to learn that Hon. Geo
S. Smith of Plattsmouth succeeds John

Fifty, more or less, of our subscrib
ers have promised to bring us wood, iu

Patrick O'Mulligan, "Divil thjj bet of

Wp are in receipt of a communica
tion from Glenwood precinct, in reference
to the cnploymcut of a teacher in a cer
tain school district up there. We do not
think that the letter would be of interest
to the general public, and consequently
cannot give place to it.
The fourth number -of the Centen
nial Lono Star has just been issued from
the Chief office. It reflects credit
upon its 'editor, as it has grown, in four
issues, from a sheet but little longer than
a man's hand, to a 2S column paper.
Long may she flaunt.
W saw at Mitchell & Morharis
Hardware store, the other day, the finest
and most complete arrangement in the
ihape of a cook store that vre ever be
held. It is called the "Bismarck," and
is really a beauty. This firm has just
received a car load of stoTes of all sizes
and kindf, at prices ranging from $20 to
$G0. Call and examine their stock be
fore you purchase.
Dentistry.
"We are authorized to announce that
Dr. J. E. Smith, of Guide Bock will
visit Red Cloud for the purpose of
workinc at dentistry, Tuesday the 29th
insr, and will regain as Ion? a? the J

Another good old lady has died and
left a legacy to the editor of the local
newspapers as a testimonial of her appre
ciation of a good man. When this kind
of a thing gets started it will epraad like
wild-fire. We have often wondered that
it d dn't beein belore, but you have to
wait for somebody to set the example
to break the ice as it were From this
time henceforth few conscientious and
benevolent people who have accumulated
wealth and had a happy life, thants to
the editors of their family newspaper,
will cousent to die without leaving 'cm a
legacy. This occurcd in the Kentucky
bluegrass region.
We undcrotand that Miller & Ball
are making arrangements to erect a Tur
bine Wind-inill where the liberty pole
stands, tv Itb a tank capable of holding
3.000 gallons of water. We hope they
will succeed in securing the necessary en
courageiHerit, as the project U one that is
of interest to every one. In case of a fire
breaking out, it might be the means oi
saving thoucandi of dollars worth of
property, it would be convenient fjr tho
trareling public, as a watering p!a:e fr
their stock, the farmers and all nt hers who
have occasion to come to town with
teams would find it very agreeable, and
it also would be quite an item in the mat
ter of street spiitiklinz, as the water
would be so concnient that the sprinkler
would be able to keep down the dust.

Ed. Chief. Wo are having soiin
more Nebraska z?phyrs to-day.
Our small grain is all sown, and is
coming up, but it looks thin and spind
ling, needs morj lain and warm weather.
Plowing for corn U now the order of
the day in this settlement, but the
ground is too cold for planting corn yet.

Tho very comfo:tiblo house being built
by Mrs Barker & Son, mentioned in
the Argus last week, as being
built, will bo commenced next
week no preventing providence. It
is to be built on what was formerly
known as tho Dan Nonis claim, on the
south side of the Biver, east of, and ad.
joining Thomas Vanghu's chitn. The
house is to be 1G feet wide, by 30 long.
I sea quite a pieco of aophistry in last
weeks Argu?, under the signature of
Betsy. !3hc seems to deplore our bad
roads, and our ignorance of what is best
for us. Seems to think because we want
tho bridge located where our petition
asking for 1 he election lccaied it, we
want it there so we can go to Kivcrtou
to trade.
In reply to this latter proposition I
would say, that wc have a bridge at Biv
erton, which is much more convenient
for a large majority of the people of
Walnut Creek, when we want to go to'
Biverton, than any bridge in Webster
county c n be. And on the other hand,
it is very easy for an unptejudiced person
to see the inconvenience to u?, if our
depot is established above the center of
our precinct for us to go one ini'e or
more below to get to the bridge, and
then travel the same distance back to get
to tho depot.

Ld. Chief. On Thursday 27 of
March there was a fire broke out on the
premises of Mr. Hasselbacher dona a
great-deal of damage, burned Mr. H.
corn, hay and stable, run north burned
Mr. Saltzmans hay and corn, it run
through to the river doing great damage
to the young timber fr Wiggins, J.
Harris and Mssers. Martin, the buys had
hard wotk to save their stabling and hay,
it v as culy by the aid of parties passing
by. The fire broke out on my timber
claim, but is under contest consequently
1 was willfully and mal iciously accusod
of putting out the fire.
1 deny the charge and cm prove my
self clear of the charge by two good wit
nesses out side of my own family, the re
port is being peddled all over, and I
take tbis s'ep to clear myaelf and put a
stop to the re port, There is one-thine;
very mysterious about this report Mr. H.
and family slarted to Mr. Dewitt and
had only got about 1 i mile from home
when they sawthefire they went on to
Mr. D. an4 never went home until
sight. When asked why he ntt go home
to look after his things, said that hft
hated to go home and find all his things
burned, afterwards said that rerythiog
he had woald be in ashes. Mr. Davis
was plowing trithin two huadred yds. of
his house and said that Mr. H. had only
been gone a few moments when the fire
started north of the house between
stable and house. Then he went to the
house broke in the door and get a pail
and carried slop oat of the slop barrel
and saved the bouse. I am very sorry
that the gentlemens, things burned but
I want the people of this part of the
county to understand that I am not thai
kind of a man, 1 have always- tried to
act honorable wtth all aud do what was
right.
