The Preacbers Knew What It Wm
A good brother from Red Cloud once
went to Omaha as a delegate to a
church convention. The brother
wanted to look his best, and to that
end he took particular care in prepar
ing his outfit. There were to be dele
gates from the churches all over thi
broad land, and ai the eastern people
have an idea that Nebraska is 'out in
the wilderness, and that the westerner
wear buckukin suits and coonskin caps
this good brother of ours was determin
ed to teach them a different lesson.
He had a broadcloth coat, a vest cut
low and in the latest style, a broad
expanse of white shirt bosom and a
brand new Derby ht. Were it not
that he had pawed beyond the forties
and that he holds a high place m the
councils of the church with which he
is connected in Red Cloud, one might
have taken our brother for a dude.
But appearances arc deceptive. When
dressed in his bet and ready for his
journey our brother surveyed himself
in the large mirror in his parlor. That
he was pleased with his appearance
there is no question, for his family say
there was a satisfied hmile on his face
such as they had not seen in many a
day. But one thing he lacked to make
is outfit complete. At home he had
no use for a watch; away from home,
however,' it might bo convenient to
have oye. Possibly some of the breth
ren at the religiout convention fc
which he was delegate, might slop
over in prayer or in speech, and when
the other brethen would pull out their
watches to warn the speaker that he
was tresspassing on precious time he
did not want lo be the only one in the
large assemblage without a tiker. A
happy thought struch him and worked
:ts way through his well greased hair
Une of his sons had a watch and he
would borrow it. The chain would
ornament his vest. After he got the
watch lie put it on, and then again
surveyed himself in the glass to note
the effect. It was magical. At the
end of the chain was suspended a cuto
looking piece of ivory of about the size
of a dollar but as our brothr was not
acquainted with the wicked uses lo
which such things arc put he looked
upon it only as a handsome ornament,
that finished ofl the toutc cunemble, as
the French would say.
One the way to Omaha he was kindly
greeted in the cars and elsewhere by
liash'ly dressed men, all cf which our
brother took as a compliment to his
improved appearance- He never
dreamed that the ivory pendant to his
watch chain had any connection with
the recognition which he received
from the flashily dressed men. Arriv
ing at his destination a 1 1 mingl'inx in
the church with the other delegates he
found that he was attracting more
than ordinary attention from his
brethren. It was pleasing to him and
yet at tho same time embarrasing.
One good old elder who had been
preaching the gospel for more than a
quarter of a century came up to our
brother and, with a bland smile, asked
him why he wore that peculiar ivory
badge at a church gathering Our
good brother probably thought that his
son was a member of some secret
society of which the ivory piece was
the badge, and that possibly tho elder
was a member of the same society, so
he confessed that it belonged to ono of
his boys but that he did not understand
the meaning of the mystic badge. The
elder opened wide his eyes. Was it
possible that ne had found one man in
that vast assemblage who did not
know a poker chip from the badge of a
secret society ! He explained to on
Red Cloud brother the significance of
the ivory badge he wore on his vest
cha n and this made plain to him why
the flashily dressed men were so
friendly toward him while he was
traveling to Omaha. It is needless to
say that following the advice of the
elder who had preached the gospel for
a quarter of a century, our Red Cloud
brother promptly detached the poker
chip from his watch chain. He then
swore oiTfiom ever borrowing his son's
watch again.

The legendary ground hog saw his
hhadow on Tuesday last, and we arc to
have six weeks more of cold weather
Terrible, isn't it ?
lhinng the recent storms Peter Hill,
three nilcs north of Cowles. managed
to -ave his flock of 600 sheep with the
loss of about a dozen, but he had to
shovel tons of snow to do it. He alfo
saved about 130 head of ho3 without
the loss of any.
The genial countenance of our old
friend. A. C. Teel, was seen in Cowles
the first of the week. His present
home is in Frontier county, but he
etill owns valuable property in Cowles.
He reports the storms of last month
as haying been less severe in Frontier
county thin iu Webster.
Thomas Paul made a short trip to
Lincoln last week on business,
J. T. Latta was out with his gun
Fcbr.iary 2nd in search of tho ground
hog, but came in without his game.
On Sunday evening last while a
freight train was switching at Cowles
Samuel Foe was thrown trom a box
car sustaining serious injury to his
right loot and ankle. He was removed
to his home in Red Cloud, and is under
the care of Dr. Hall who is surgeon for
the B. & M. Co.
The traveliug correspondent ot The
Chief, who painted our village iu such
glowing colors in last week's issue,
omitted to mention two or three bus
ness houses in Cowles. We suppose
he was in a hurry to get away, which
will account for the omission, and for
his putting it on pretty thick in sjOLs
D. U. Buzick is shipping hogs again
this week.
Mrs. J. T. Latta has returned from a
three week's visit with friends in
Edgar.
C. W. Fuller is selling coal from
eastern, western, and southern mines
at reasonable prices.
All persons knowing themselves in

will please settle at once and save
costs. We mean what we say.

W. W. Peak started on Tuesday for

WHEATLAD.
Items have accumulated since the
storm.
After diligent inquiring wc can learn
of no such loss of hogs and cattle in
this part of the county as reported in
the last issue f your paper, from other
parts. One man Io?t a hog and another
a few pigs, yet the storm was severe
enough to exhaust the bread supply
as well as coal, but there is a change
today which puts everyone in a smil
ing humor.
The singing class m District No. 20,
is in full blast, and doing good work.
The reading circle have not met
since hist month, as they have not
received their books. They were
shipped a month ago bj the mail route
to Wells and have not turned up yet.
Of course wc have had a terrible storm
There are a good many hogs ready
for market as soon as the roads arc
sufficiently opened.
The Wheatland P. O. is no more,
having fallen under the pruning knife
ofG. C. Its papers and elleeta were
last week transfcrcd to Saint Ann
(Laportville) one mile south of the
Blue. Tho office is in good running
order, and will probably give satisfac
tion. While the public have reason
to feel graterul to the retiring P. M.
for the faithfull manner he has so long
served them in distributing the mail.
Not much railroad excitement since
the last survey. L
WEST INAVALE.
This part ol the county is in shape
after the late storm.
Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Worley have
gone to Linn county, la., on a visit.
Tuey expect to remain until some
time in the spring.
Some of our young people visited
Red Cloud on New Years' day and did
not get clear home until the 3rd.
James Wellcr is prospecting some
where up west if wc can judge horn
the trips he has been making ot
late.
There are a couple of our boys, both
of the same given name, who haTc
formed a partnership in some way, at
least it looks that way. For instance,
ofa Sunday afternoon one saddles his
horse and rides over to the other's
house- He then remains there, while
the other takes the horse and rides
back to his house and remains there
until the wee small hours, and then
thev chauge back. Thus only one
horse U used.

farmers had to feed their cattle a great
