out" the dust , the accumulatio !
ot several seasons , and hl' los
but little time in getting actio !
on his decision. Upon reacllin {
" the midst of his evolution
friends and citizens by the scorl
appealed to him , both in persol
and by telephone , to be allowel
, to a sist him , most of them in
forming him they had read il
the Daily Beacon that he wa
house cleaning. But he declinel
all proffers of help and finall

Next Tuesday is election day ,

. It is almost next to impossible
: . to keep track of the new buildings -
ings as they are erected in
Broken Bow , there arc so many
of 'em , and if the city fathers
desire to be up.to-snuff they will
pass a building permit ordinance.
By doing this they will be able
to know the number of buildings ,
erected and the increase in
valuation in city property , while
at the same time , with a fee of
51 for a building permit , from
575 to $100 wouJd be added to
the city treasury in athe course
of a year.

that if the reside ts of ethel

opinion of citizens 111 his vicinitj
herc would be no division of the

not as big chumps as Dick Breg.
seems to imagine when he en.
dea vors to make 'em believe
black is white , or in other wordsl
that taxes will be lower in <
small county , than they are it
Custer as it is at the presen'
time. 'l'hey know Hichard quite

soil tickler near Georgetown ,
associated with friends and

The RUPUnI.ICAN abstains from
making- any caustic remarlcs con-
ccrt1in the nc ll-arrival of the
Irophe5ied 'comet , because it may
yet hit the earth and knock us
ga11ey.w st before Easter and
that would cause the associate

ashamed of himself.

a two days' hunt at the lakes in
the vicinlty of Linscott , 25 miles

his place , 8 miles south of this
I
city , purchased 840 acres of land I
in Lincoln county , 15 miles southeast -
east of Su therland , for which

Since putting the Skow's dis
sharpener in operation , three
weeks ago , Messrs. Johnson &
Ream have sharpened over six
hundred bades ! and every patron
has freely expressed entire satisfaction -
faction with the work. 'I'his
new plan of and machine for
rolling the discs is so far supieror
to the old method of hammering
that it but a question of a very
short time t ill the farmer will
refuse to have his discs sharpened
except by the new method.
Dr. A. C. Stokes , of Omaha ,
was called in consultation last
Saturday , by Dr. Bartholomew
to see Mr. Lambert , who has
been a sufferer for several months.
An operation was decided upon
which was to have occured at the
Broken Bow hospital , but on account -
count of the severity of the case
plans were changed and it was
decided he should g-o to Omaha
for the operation , which he did
Monday , accompanied by Dr.
Uartholomew. His daughter , a
nurse from Chicago , met him
there and she and Dr. Bartholomew -
mew will remain with him until
he is out of danger.
C. W. Wahl says that the
7 o'clock p. m. , closing agreement -
ment , entered into by the business -
ness men of Brolcen Bow over a
year ago , has become exceedingly -
ly fringy in every line except the
barber shops , some of the s1gners
not closing as agreed , consequently -
ently , beginning next Monday ,
April 1st , and continuing every
week day night , his place of
business , in the Broken Bow
State Bank building , will be
kept open until 8 o'clock , and
tbe next time he enters into an
agreement with other business
men to close at a cersain hour
there will have to be a good , stiff
penalty attached so the fellows
who violate it can get something
done to 'em that they'll not
forget.
The North Side Won.
A match game at ten pins
occurred at the bowling palace
I Monday night between old
settlers of the North and South
sides , and was witnessed by a
large number of spectators who
lustily rooted for their favorites ,
and for a rattling good time the
contest surpassed any event that
has been pulled off during the
past winter. The individua !
scores were as fo11ows.
