Ed. Chief: On Monday of thw week

ness. Arriving there at 10:40 we at
one proceeded to attend to our busi
new, and at 12:30 the inner man gave
notice thst.he wished to be attended
to, bo we proceeded u the City Hotel.
There we met the kind and courteous
proprietor Mr. H. B. Munson. Alter
making our toilet we were shown to
the dining room where we were served
with an elegant dinner. Z. Mr. Munson
is a hospitable and attentive gentle
man who uses every effort to entertain
and make his guests feel comfortable
and at home. Parties flopping there
will find everything in ulent order,
and a person who oncrKrVs at this
house will be sure to call again. The
hotel is situated on the main street,
arid 2 blocks east of the depot. We
bespeak for the City Hotel a liberal
share of the public patronage. Also
met Aug. Martin, the genial proprietor
of one of Blue Hill's substantial meat
markets, who is -doing a flourishing
business.
Loans made with the Nebraska &
Kansas Farm Loun Co. can bo paid at
home.
fctMu. Edw. F. Wieneb, has been kind
enough to translate the following jokes
and anhorisms for The Chief from
the Fliegcmlc Matter, probably the
wittiest paper in the world, and hopes
that th reading public may appreciate
and laugh oyer them:
IN THE GREEN' BOOM.
Dude to Premiere Danseusc: "Are
you really made of stone, Ludmilif.?"
Ludmilla: "Oh, yes! very much so.
My heart is as hard as a diamond, and
you know that only one diamond will
cut anothor.'r
A REPLY.
Poet (Indignatly) : "My dear fcir,
yu will haye to givo me an explana
tion of your criticism. It was you, sir,
who made my.last comedy so miseii
able."
Critic: "No. most respected sir, it
was yourself who did it."
A hollow head pains less than a
hollow tooth.
Ideas are like violets when you find
one you find many.
ART AND NATURE.
Shoddy: "The landscape suita me
well enough, but it is a little dead and
flat. Couldn't you paint a couple of
birds iu it? How much would that be?"
"Four dollars." -
"What! four dollars? Why, live ones
are cheaper."
