James Lairi and Dr Gerth wil b in the county soon to invivtigaln the disease peculiar to the swine in this vicinity. I). Bartholomew has just received iKters patent for a threshold that U one ol the best schemes of the kind we have ever seen. The contract fur furnishing lumber for the fair ground fence has been let to the Nebraska Lumber Company at a cost of SLITS. Mr. Kensev wears a disfmured eye from coming in contact with a nail which Hew up and narrowly missed putting out bis oy. Orit friend F P Keed has hern ap points! county surveyor by th com missioner. The board could notjhavc made a better appointment. Usvr.r. Geo. Winton ami Dr. It. R. Sherer took a prairie Fchooner for the north-west this week for land specula lion. We wish them a pleasant trip. Mr Phelps fell from one of the planks while carting a load of brick to the workmen on Morhart Sl Fulton and Mixer's building, ami hurt hir..tielf fc shiihtly. Tin: Chief received a letter from Will Parke? who is sojourning in Utah Territory. Will reports having a fine time, and his wife's health much improved. People who are in the habit of lari ating cattle in close proximity to the streets should be careful or they may have to pay a fine, as it is against the city ordinance. Some mi-u'hief maker cut a harness to pieces atCowlcs the other nirht that belonged to Henry Cook, of this city, and which wsis being used by George Gates, the liveryman. The brainless egotist who runs the democratic "tling" seems to imagine that his oirorts at Billingsgate are highly appreciated. It may have been the case elsewhere, but the peo ple of Red Cloud and Webster county are not of that stripe, ''King Moses." With a new railroad to open up tho great resources of the south-west coun try with a terminus in ttiis city. Red Cloud would boom as it never has be fore. If the business men can com bine and make Red Cloud a railroad center, the future of the city would be unquestionaed. Now that we are a city let us have utrcet lamns, a telephone exchange an ordinance muzzling dogs, with a tax attachment, numerous sidewalks, new buildings, an increase of popula tion, new railroads, and numerous oth er enterprises that will build Red Cloud up a large Jcity. Let every business man work for Red Cloud and its pros perity. The N B B Utorary society will give an entertainment about the fust of August. Tho members of the society are composed of the rising generation of young ladies, and have quite a tasto for Thespian pastimes. Thev will ren der dialogues and farces., sing songs, 'etc. It will ccrtai.dy be an excellent entertainment. It will be very novel and interesting. The Red Cloud Homestead, Loan and Building Association is progressing finely, and the first loan was made to Philip Barklcy and was sold at 20 per cent. The in stitution is a success. There are a few more shares and those desiring a good place to save their money and at the same time make money should avai' themselves of the opportunity kto pro cure shares. The Chief has been used to manly contemporaries, but the importation from Ohio is either lost to decency or lacks the ability to write a respectable article. The Chief does not desire to deal in epithets and low slings, hence we shalljwash our hands of the'excres cenee lhat we have been drawn into by reason of having stooped to reply to his so called "brilliancy." As to our job department, we still insist that we have as fine an office as there is in the state, notwithstanding the importation's prevarications. REPORTORIAL POINTERS.

Dennev, who left this country for China about a year ago, is on his road home, and will be in Red Cloud this week. Tho Doctor conclud ed that the Mikado's country was too mixed for him. Mr Hols worth has been experi menting with tame grass of late years, and has so far succeeded, that he rais ed this year a very extensive crop, many of the blades growing to the length of three or four feet. There is to be a change at the tele graph office in this city, whereby an other operator will he added on the day force, thus giving Mr Welch a lit tle more time. The day man, we un derstand, will also be baggage master. On hist Kridav evening the members of the Congregational Cli'trsh very quietly walked in on their ,xiew pastor; Rev J G Aikmau, and ga'. iim a grand surprise.

Mr B F Boynton, a "O," conductor, from Iowa, was in Red Cloud during tho past week, visiting friends and looking after his lauded interests in Webster county. He owns a good farm in Sec 5. The good brother paid The Chief a friendly call. Come again. If "'she" King Moses had a little more "garden sass," say for instance a cab bage on his shoulders where nature intended to pla:e a receptacle for brains, he would probably have more sense. Tho cabbage would at least be aii improvement on the cavity he now supports. "Charitt begins at home." Bro. King, keep all you have- You will probably need it in your future walks. If you can't keep the wolves from bark ing at you, stay at home, for it is only the nature of the brute to bark at a bone. Some wolves are a little partic ular what they eat. Maybe the won't hurt you. 0:;r thin friend, of the democrat ic sheet, weaves and worries along over a half column of slush, giving The Chief fits, but hy paper wads fall harmlessly by the wayside. In fact they are not appreciated by anyone save the master miiu! (?)from whose fer tile brain thev eminate.

"No one would strike you baby." Hclmtt." No, and no one will strike a fool, either, so you're safe. There was no need of your running till you were out of wind. Murphy wouldn't have struck you nohow. On Sunday evening our citizens were again treated to another ol those gor geously phenomenal sunset scenes, awful in grandeur, inimitable in beau ty, and absolutely indescribable in every respect. The vivid flashes of the lurid light ning during Monday night's storm fooled every rooster in Red Cloud, they mistaking each consecutive flash as a beacon ray of early dawn, kept up an incessant crowing all night. Mrs W.JosSELYN returned home on Saturday from an extended tour through the Canadai and the eastern states. Mrs J. reports seeing more snow in Canada in a few days in April than she saw in Nebraska during the entire winter. The gentle patter of the soft rain on the roof on Monday night and Tues day was a melody of naturo peculiarly pleasing to our agricultural friends, who have almost felt the blasting breath of the dreaded hot winds for the past week or so. We most heartily appreciate thc kindly feeling of the many friends who so deliberately came upon us last Fri day evening, and after an hour's pleas ant social intercourse left us richer in more ways than one. Accept our thanks, friends, and may blessings at tend everyone. J. G. Aikman and family.

While enroutc from Nemaha City, to visit her son in the west, she was taken suddenly ill at Junction Ci'y, resulting as above stat ed. Mrs Skeen started on Wednesdav for Nemaha City, Neb. The former home of her mother. The case is a peculiarly sad one. The long, lean, hungry looking indi vidual, ''the mummy," who presides over the great moral and highly intel tellectual democratic organ, whose massive head has worn cut several bodies, is too awfully shocked at our item about married men. It's too bad. We shouldu't thought that he would have read it he's so nice. He ought to be wrapped in tin-foil and laid away in some remote place to dry, where his acute sensibilities would not come in contact with the depraved world, or his beautiful form will be subject to rust and premature decay. Really such a beautiful specimen of humanity should be packed in ice, to keep it fresh. "O, thou shadow of consistency, thou art a -CglOc rrmusdr interest. Linex pant very chemp at the Gold en Eagle.

F W Ware, financial agent for the York College, was here Sunday and Monday aud collected $20 for the ben efit cf that institution. It shows a lack of skill in a base ball pitcher when he misses the whole state of Nebraska and hits such a thin thing as the democratic editor. F E Gobls has presented Mrs Gobln with an elegant $175, basket phaeton' manufactured at the Red Cloud car riage works Its a dandy. R D Jones has returned from hi trip to the northwest, where he has been looking after the interests of the Nebraska lumber company. MrG.WFairbrother. editor of the Nemaha (Neb.)

Mr. J travelled up the Solomon valley some 150 miles visited Oberlin and vicinity and returned home via. the Republican valley. He says the crops of the Re publican valley are far ahead of those of any other section visited. Our position on the bridge question seems to have worried the sapling that runs the democratic exponent. With all your billious attempts you will fall short of convincing the people that you have mere brains than the law allows you, and as .to our position the people are fully satisfied. We have often heard it remarked that fools were exempt from bciHg hit, but that assertion has been proven false, as the editor of the democratic organ was struck by a base ball the other evening, "and the simpleton got mad and showed bis ugly disposi tion by throwing the bat at the pitcher Business in the county superintend ent's office is nearly blocked, just at a time when the institute is at hand, and the tpportionment should have been made a week ago. Directors of several school districts have so neglected their duty that it becomes necessary to wait tor them, or go ahead without their re ports. While Mr John Thornburg was tak ing a rest on a cot in A. L. Funk's im plement warehouse, Monday afternoon a sneak thief entered the office and stole his fine silver watch that was in his vest pocket which ha had left hang ing on the wall.

We said Mr Kenney had hi assessment raised from nothing to $6u0 A matter of news and the smXA Mr Kenney was shown to have been raised from a respectable amount. You did Mr Kenney the injustice to spread the impression over the county that he evaded the assessors. You gave us that impreasion. HeimA. As a tecimen of asinine crawfish ing and superlative prevarication, the above ebulitions of the 'Skilouette" (silly wit) editor (?) do lake the cake. First she make a misstatement, next reiterates and swears it is the truth. Then taken it all back, and ?to cap the climax says The Chief did it. DIED MONDAY. Buried Wednoaday, and Marrlad Thuraday. "Such is life in the Far West." Iur ing last week a farmer by the name of Poulson, we believe, died after having been a sufferer from disease for some weeks. The wife and family mourned for the departed husband and father, who had thus been called to the last account. On Wednesday last the fun eral obsequies took place and the re mains were followed to their last rest ing place by a sorrowing household, and were consigned to Mother Earth with proper respect. Finally the mourners and friends took tbeir de parture from the "Silent City of the Dead" and returned to their homes with sad hearts, no doubt. Bui seemingly within the next few hours thc wife had forgotten the grief that had visited her, for on the day follow ing (Friday) she was again repeating the mystic marriage rite which made her the lawful wife of a man by the name of Hansen. A widow aud a bride in forty-eight hours. i n PKOMOTKD.-Our estimable friend and citizen, Mr Fred Durrie, for a number of years station agent for the H A M It Ry, in this city, and a trusted em ployee of the ;road for thirteen yean past, received orders to report at Oma ha a few days ago, where he was ten dered the position of assistant to the Western Passenger agent of the BAM with headquarters at San Franr.isco. Fred will leave this week for his new home and his family will follow as soon as convenient. The Chief has known Fred for several months, and has al ways found him to be a gentleman, and an efficient and polite agent, and therefore wish him success and pros perity in his far away home in 'Frisco. .Tyfe Lice. For years gone by the "detil" in a printing office has leen known as a trickster, and one of his favorite pastimes is to play tricks on the unwary. The other evening His Satanic Majesty was visited by a bevr of tne fairer sex, ami having nothing else to do for a few minutes His Majes ty conceived the idea that it would be fun to give the girls a taste of genuine experience as it comes along in every day life in a print hop. Carefully he separates a column of type and fills the cavity with murky wa'.er and invites the girls to gaze. Being carious to see type lice they all took a look, and a second later the column suddenly closed, and the water came in contact with their eyes. The "devir was to pay, but the editor having had a re cent bank failure administered a gen- tlejrproach, while the girls left with a determination to get even with the "devil." "The City or Red Cloud." For the last two years the press of Red Cloud and the people generally have been agitating the question of otganizing the village of Red Cloud into a city of the second claas. It would have been done long ago, bat for the fact that the law was lame in regard to the proper mode to pursue in regard to the matter. But finally the diSculty was overcome, and by ,advice of City Attorney Rickards the organization was completed on last Thursday night. July 16, at the regular meeting of the council. Under thejold rtgim the powers of the city officers for making internal improvements waa abridged, and con sequently could not proceed to the ex tent that our growing city demanded henca the new organization. The Chief is pleased to see that our board of trustees have the advancement of the city at heart, and with the aid of the citizens there it no reason why there should not ae an unprecedented era of prosperity in the future. Let push and enterprise be the watchword. New railroads, new bridges, new stores, manufactories, etc are what are need ed, and having the beat location in the valley there is no reason why we should not be a great city in the future Let the business men and citizens unite for the advancement aud growth of our city and business interast. The city officers under thc new reign are: Mtn-tr R L Tinker. Aldcrna, 1st Ward 8. W. Coon and J. L. Miner. Aldrrwvn, 2nd W-A. T. Orsasby aad T. J. Masher. Clerk Ed. Ferris. Drw-J. X. Rickards.

The probability is the mill folks are thinking whan the new mill is completed and run ning with a capacity of grinding 450 bushels every 24 hour, they will want every farmer's wheat to keep the ma chinery employed. No doubt the millers are selfish in all this, but the consumers of their products get the benefit of tbeir selfishness all the same. Oaarrs Booe.
