A young man had come to the conclusion that as birds mate in early sprnifSMt would be the proper time for him to join hoart aud hand with thegiil he loved. Ho went to Smith Center and procured the ossary license from the county u,k. On tho same day he received a certifi cate of a registered bull. By some mistake the young lover got the papers mixed, and in the evening when the couple stood up before tho 'Squire that two hearts might be wedded into one, he handed to tho '."'quire the registered bull certificate instead of the marriuge license. The 'aquire did not stop to look at the paper, thinking of course that it was all right and proceeded with the ceremony. On his way homo the Squiru stopped into a house. and took from his picket the license, and then he fjund the error. As fast -s his legs could carry him he ran to the home of the newly married couple. Tho young lady had already retired and the young man was in the act nf disrobing when tho 'Squire entored the house and in an excitectono he yelled. "Hold on there I Put ,on your clothes again! You are not imtrried! You gaye me the wrong license." When the matter was explained the young man dressed nimelf again, and cursing his stupidity for presenting a register ed hull certificate instead of a marriage license, he bade his intended bride good night and went away sorrowfully. The next day the license was found, the ceremony performed over again, and happiness reigns in that house hold. It was a bully joke. Is It a Bluff Game? Lincoln, Ner., April 2. Special Articles of incorporation of the Chica go, Kansas A Nebraska Railroad were filed today in the oflce of secretary of state. The incorporators are St. Joe parties, and the Rock Island road is said to bo behind them.

The move is looked upon by some as a bluff game to enable the Rock Island to get hold of the Union Pacific'e St: Joe fc Western branch. The route has been surveyed and bonds aaked for. Chica go Tribune. The following gentlemen were elect ed on last Tuesday for the boa-d o education: For Thrm xVarr D. B. Spanogle, A. J. Kenney. For Ttro Year R. B. Fulton, A. L. Funk. For On YearA.

IVter Beechy Agents of a Chicago windmill outfit are swindling farmers 1:1 Richardson county They sell a windmill and pump at about the usual price, and in making tho trade with the man. would always impress him with the idea tluvt innumerable extras, Mich a one or two hundred feel of pipe, a large Unk. etc, would be put in free of cost In tin part of the contract lit the swindle, for when the farmers came to pay fur their windmills thev would find all these things charged up to them at alout double tho price they would have to pay local dealers Ex Undoubtedly these same chap will be hereabouts in the near future and it wouli be well for tho farmer, to be very watchful about signing paper of any character. Jf you mant windm.lls come to Red Cloud, or some dealer in tho county and get what you want and you won't be swindled. All kind of frauds are in the county. Last fall a lot of clothing men canvaeMd the county over and we are inform d that numerous farmer pur chased -l3 high is $80 worth of good and gavo their notes for the amounts, and at the same lime could have pur chased the same amount of goods from our merchants for half the monev. It is also rumored that the notes Mgued for $80 have now turned out to have been in aome instances mule out for a hundred dollars It always pays to purchase what you want Irom home dealers. Don't be tempted into buying something that is offered cheap, for you may rest assured that there is a snide game somewhere to le played, aud tho purchaser is the one that gets bit nine times out of ten Beware! of traveling frauda.
