Buckner tranacted business - ness in the hustling , bustling and wide-a wakc village of Merna , on Tuesday. 'rhe foundation for County Attorney Gutterson's new residence - dence , near the Episcopal church , was started Monday mormng. Alonzo and Pearl Athey , who have been attending school in Omaha , came home last Sunday from a stay of a couple of weeks. Mrs. C. O.

Charles Sanders came down from Anselmo the latter part of last week and added 360 acres to his stock ranch by purchase from the Unitcd States at $1.25 per acrc. 'l'h real kind husband will hasten to buy an exerciser for hi wife so as to enable her to get strong enough to wear the spring style h'1t without bccoming weary. Chas. W.

Hay Musselman , whose home is in Pcnnsylvania , a nephew of J. S. Molyncux. arrived in the city last week to accept a position in tins city with the Dierks I.Jumbcr Co. , having been in the employ of the company at Lincoln the past year. Big signs on the upper corners of the l ealty block inform those who gaze up in that direction that it is now the "Dierks Block. " The sign was written by "Pat" Stevenson In his well known and highly artistic style and hung on the wall Tuesday. 'l'he public sale of stock by J ap Robinson last Saturday was not only attended hy a large crowd , but the animals brought good priccs , five cows selling at an average of * 45.00 each. l\Ir. H.obinson has leased his farm ad joining Broken Bow on thc east and in a couple of weeks will go to the San Louis Valle ) ' , in Colorado , where j'.e has purchased - chased a couple of claims. W. M. Conn , the hog man , of Utica , Nebraska , offered a bunch of swine at auction . , at Finlen's barn in this .city 'l'ncsday after- noon. 'l'here was only a small crowd prescnt and the hogs sold at ver ) ' 10\ . . . . prices. Hcretofore Mr. Conn's"salcs in Brokcn Bow have been well attended and good priccs realizc(1. But the dif. lercncc i Iilsily accounted for. Heretoforl ! he haS ! adverLiscd in the Bro\cu ! Bow newspapers , while this sale was advertised exclus'ely by hand bills printed at Utica. It's no use .tryiJ1g to deny the tact that nc wspapeI advertisln beats hand bills by a large majority and thos < . > who hold a sale and witncsed the reo sult of Conn's sale on Tuesday will do well to profit by bis ex. perience in \ he way of ad vel tising , Dr. W. H. Cole was in BerJwn Monda } ' evening on professional business. Banler Varney , of Ansley , left his strong box long enough on Tuesday to visit the county seat. Miss Martha Fodge , of the Custer College , gives privata or class instruction in elocution and physical culture. Geo. F. Pulliam , of Moulton , Iowa , who has financial interests in this county , was attending to business in the city Monday. l emeU1ber Heese's public sale of Duroc Jersey bred sows and gillS at Broken Bow , Wednesday , April 1 , 1908. See add in this paper. H. C. Case , of Mason City , was in Broken Bow on 'ruesday and reports his line of business-real estate-as flourshing in his locality. Sanders Vallandigham has accepted - cepted a position and is now en-I gaged in attending to the wants of customers at the H. B. Drake dry goodsery. Hev. J. E. Ingraw , of Lincoln , who officiated s a minister in this city about fifteen years ago , arrived Monday for a short visit with L old-time friends and acquaintances - quaintances in this vicinity. Howard Graham , one of the pioneer merchants. of Broken Bow , now located at Seattle , Wash. , was in the city 'l'uesday renewing old acquaintances , and expressed , surprise at the rapid ' and substantial growth that had been made by this city. . C. Empfield , of Anselmo , has faith to the fullest extent in Custer county soil , and does not pass up any good opportunity to I add a bunch of acres to his possessions. Last week he picked - ed up an 80-acre isolated tract belonging to Uncle Sam. Mr . Hopper , stat. . . organizer for the Womans Christian Temperance - perance Union , arrived in the city last Saturday morning , but owin ( ! to the quarantine being placed on the churches , was unable - able to deliver an address. On Monday she went to Ansley. , Old settlers say that we are to have an early spring. We have an early spring , however , about I once every so often-whether the old settler says so or not. The old settler has various ways of predicting what the season is going - ing to be by the kind of weather we have had during the winter , and by the way the various wild animals are acting and sometim s the old settler is correct in his observations. I I It was advertised last week that there wou1 < 1 be a "Bache- lor's Honeymoon" at the opera holtse tomorrow nig-h t , bu t the order by the city council prohibited - hibited the assembling of audi- ences-for the present-will prevent - vent not only a bachelor's. but everv . kind of a honevmoon where a pu.blic gatheri ngis - necessary to make the honeymoon a go. Broken Bow theatre-goers are , of course , greatly disappointed , but should cheer up. No "Honey- moon" is better than more small pox. pox.On On Saturday of this week at 1 o'clock the Great & VanAnt- werp stor < . > on the north side will certainly be thronged by those who want a rug at a bargain. They have one hundred rugs , which will be sold at $1.75 each , not the shoddy rugs , but rugs that are actually worth from $3.00 to $3.50 , and we ventur the assertion that every person who inspects them before the hour of sale will be on hand promptl } ' at 1 o'clock in order to secure one. 'rhe rugs are now on display and can be inspected at the store. With the commencement of political - litical activity comes a flood of communications , in many of which the writer does not g-ive his name-even to the editor. 'l'hese hav to be consigned to the waste papcr baskct. 'l'he RH- l'UBIICAN docs not insist that the views of its correspondents be the same as its own , but the communications - munications must be respectful language and if advocating the nomination or election of some one , they come under the rule of paid matter-advertising , I you might say. A communication - tion without the actual name of the writ r is hardly ever worth the cost of setting up the type , to s y nothing of the space oc- cupied. Nom de plumes carry v ry lit.tIe weight in newspaper diScussions. . . I. . . - . . " 1 : , 'I'he price of hogs advanccd I ten cents per 100 lbs in Omaha I } 'csterday. I Good morning ; has the vaccine I virus , poked into your anatomy by t he attend i ng physician , takcn effect ? Mrs.V. . W. Bishop reached home lagt Saturda } ' , stopping a week in Linc01n , from a visit of a month at Piper City , Ill. , her old home. It hasn't been demonstrated } 'et-anywhere-that the painting - ing of a city hall bnilding would spread the germs of either itch or small pox. M. F. Hoberts , of Dunning , was in the city Wednesday of last week and purchased 160 acres of isolated land from the government - ment at $1.30 per acre. A child one month otd of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Porter , residing 6 miles southeast of the city , died ycsterday of whooping cough. li'unpral services will be held at the home this afternoon at 2 o'clock. I.Juther Miller last wcek sold two stallions at $3,700.UO to Custer county farmers , and on I'riday ! left fur Chicago to clis- pose of a car of horses he shipped there , and returning , will bring some pedigree stallions. Should you stroll down the avenue and see something coming toward you that resembles a small pox microbe. do not stop to investigate too clo ely-it may be a bacteria baccilli of the itch. And the itch is subject to quarantine-nowdays. One year ago yesterday a record was made of the mercury in the thermometer at the ' [ 'urner I.J11m- ber Co. ol1 ce , as 81 degrees above. 'Yesterday it was 79 above. Does the oldest inhabitant rcmember that yesterday and a year ago yesterdav rescmbled each other so closcly ? Joe Hutchinson , thc baker , who recently left herc for the far northwest. writes that he has halted in Seattle where he easily ecured employment at his trade. Ross Humphrey , who was engaged - ed in the barber shop with I.Jeo Dean , accompanied him , but continued - tinued the journey to San Fran- cisco. Miss Kattie F. Dukes , after spending the past five months at her home , Oakland , CaliL , has returned to Broken Bow and resumed - sumed the position held by her for more than a year as stenographer - grapher in the l . C. House real estate and insurance 0 ffi c e . Many acq aintances welcome her return to this city. Some people , Dr. Bartholomcw says , seem to be of the opinion that he is not practicing medi- cinc , but is engaged iu the rcal estate business 1t1stead , which is all wrong and he does not understand - stand how such an idea became currcnt. The fact is he is verv much engaged as a physician au l surgeon and when No. ( ,1 rings- either call is day or night--the promptly answered. The building formert ) ' occupied by J. W. Cook , on the west sidc oflthe square , is being overhauled and neatly fitted up bv . Compbell & son , of Chillocothe , Mo. , who wi11manufacture candy and ice cream and sell at both retail and wholesale. 'rhis is an enterprise the city has long needed and we ' have no doubt but that this institution - stitution will prove a success. A phone message from the fIuntcr ranch , 10 miles north , last uig-ht repcrted a prairie fire with dauger to the buldings. 'l'he wind was blowing a gale and the air filled with dirt and tlyi ng particles , bu t l oberl Hun tcr and W. A. Dilla vou started out. After going a couple of unles they learned the fire hadncarly burned out anel , going against the gale was so terriby disagreeable , they returned - ed to the city. Nothing has been learned from the scene of the fire this morning on account of the phone wires being down. Taken to the Insane Asylum. Frank P. Wells , a iarmer n- siding near Walworth , was brought to Broken Bow last Saturda } ' for examination by the insanity boord which found him m ntally unbalanced and ordered IllS commitment to the insane hospital at Hastings , whcre he was taken Monday morning hy Sheriff Kenuedy. About seven years ago Mr. Wells was committcd to the insane - sane hospital from which he was released after a confinement of two years and for the past five years has been residing ncar Walworth with his family which now consists of a wife and nine children ; and his mind seemed to be well balanced until within the past year , after a public road . . _ - ' - _ _ _ _ _ _ .4. . _ _ _ _ ' : ' - - was ordered open nerO'1 ! hi" , land , ' against his protest , nnd this I noticlbly worricd him. About I ten days ale he attemped to ut ' his throat and succeded in cutting - I' ting a ga h in his ncck before the Im fe could be taken froUl him. him.He He spent nearly the whole of last Sunday-while in the county jail-in pra'er and exhortation , his dementia having turnccl to christianity , but the devil must have dwelt with him a Hhort t11ne for un Sunday 111g'ht , he tore his shirt into shreds which caused Sheri IT Kenncd } ' to do some hustling - ing to get him prescntably dressed and leave on the o'clock train Monday morning.
