Wiener, our popular clothing merchant has just returned from the cast with one of the largest stocks of clothing, furnishing goods, etc, ever purchased for a western store. 3Ir. Wiener has been in the business a life time and fully understands the wants of the people. He is an honor able and upright geatleman in all of his business relations, and has become closely identified with the interests of Red Cloud, coming here in the fall of 'So, he purchased the clothing store of John Hay, and from that time to this has been wonderfully successful in his business career. This has been accomplished by the strictest honesty and business integrity, and in fair treatment to his large Hoc of customers. The Ciieif has been ac quainted with 31 r. W. ever since his arrival in Red Cloud, and can say that he is one of the most solid busi ness men in the west. If honesty, fair treatment and good busiacss taet will accomplish success, 3Ir. W. will surely gain the pinnacle. The CuEir wishes him that future success that he so riehly deserves as he is one of the most liberal supporters of the newspaper fraternity in the city. ANOTHER CHANCE. The People or Red Cl.aa. can Boaai the City by Kxeavatlax aCaatal for Water Power. A Chief reporter while engaged in conversation with some of our promi nent citizens one day this week, was told that au effort would soon be made by capitalists to build a canal similar to the ene in Kearney, in Red Cloud. The plans have not been made out yet for the proposed canal, but is soon as they are there will be a chance given to our citizens to take hold of 'lie matter -and push it through. Such n enterprise a that would be of in calcuablc benefit to the citv, and would furnish a water power uncqutled in the the state. Let the company be orga nized at once and gotten under head way. The Kearney canal has done more than any ene thing to build that city up to its present proportioas, and will ultimately make it a large city. Red Cloud caa construct a situiliar one tor touch less avmej, that, would make oar city boon. Will it be accomplished? The board of trade should call a meeting for the prject. Awtmw Jleetlas. As required by law all assessors are required to meet at the coanty clerk's office on Tuesday the 19th dav of March 1SS9 at which tisae thy will receive booki; and blanks for their use. A SKNSATIOV Or Rather no eB-atlon IVaa What Ailed film. Almost Burled All-.e. At Guide Rock, the other day, a gentlemen of that place become sick, and after awhile, to all appearance passed from thi wcrJd of trials to one of perpetual sunsl inc. His friends were notified and at once gathered around his inanimate form, and wept as people will under like circum stances. The undertaker was notified and with a few friends proceeded to his late residence to perform one of the last sad rites in such cases, pre paring his body for the grave. The work wan done and the body laid on a cooling board exposed to the chilling atmosphere over nicht, the grave bad been prepared, the coffin procured, and everything made ready for a due observance of the solemn occasion of depositing in mother earth the body of oae who had departed for the great land beyond the blue. The morning came, but behold with it came the discovery that the body was still warm. This fat led to sonding for one of our city phybicians, who on ar riving on the scene, placed his ear over the region of the man's heart and at once discovered that it per formed its regular functions. Re storatives were administered and in a short time afterwards there appeared more evidence that the man was alive, and only lay in a comatose condition or a trance as it is generally called. The probabilities arc that if medical aid had not been procured when it was he would have been buried alive and nobody would have known his fate unless discovered by accident in some other way. Later. Since the above was put in type 31r. Fairfield, the man whom the article above rcfered to, never rallied from the condition named, and finally the body gave evidence of dis solution, and he was buried on Wed nesday afternoon. He was 70 years old and had been sick for five years. It is decidedly a strange case. Of Interest to llorumca.

In all of these places mention ed not one stands as good a show as Red Cloud, if her citizens would only grasp the enormity of the situation j and proceed to make one great effort. The time has come now, and a heave and heave altogether must be brought about at eneo for this desired end. The 3Iissouri Pacific, the Rock Island the Northwestern, the Santa Fe and other roads are near at haad and can be reached if the right chord is touch ed. Will the citizens awake to the danger staring them in the face of letting slip the golden opportunity. Will the people brace up and do Berne thing at once. Taaaka Awfally. I found on arriving in New York and Chicago to buy goods, that manu facturers and jobbers were more anx ious to sell me goods than ever, giv ing me many bargains, which I shall give my customers tho benefit of.
