The success of C. D. Palmer , one of
the West Dennison street hardware
men , it is "ratifying to otaisrvo , his been
must encouraging , and is due in a large
measure to the fair , square dealings of
the proprietor and to strict attention to
business. Such methods bring their
own reward.
A separate high school building is
among the not distant possibilities. A
creditable high school building , with the
corresponding apparatus and facilities ,
would bring many students from various
parts of southwestern Nebraska , and
would assist materially in advertising
and building up our city.
The physicians report considerable
sickness , typhoid fever , in a mild form
being the most prevalent. Too much
attention cannot be paid to the laws of
health. Look to it , particularly , that
your premises are thoroughly cleaned
up. A cheap disinfectant lime may
be used to a good advantage. Clean
liness is imperative.
The Dunbar Comedy Co. favored the
city with two performances , Saturday ,
the evening play , we are informed , be
ing fairly attended. During the pre
sentation of the evening's program half
of the seats fell down , happily without ; !
injury to anybody. The company went
to Oberlin , Sunday , where they will
astonish the natives.
On Monday morning of this week ,
W. C. LaTourette took charge of his

Marquis will remain with us at least
until he has collected the outstanding
accounts of the out-going proprietor.

of comrades Chester Ward and Ira
Wickwirewe , believeare , the only ones to

We take great pleasure in announcing
that the faculty of the State University
have placed our city schools upon the
University List , thus securing to grad
uates of the schools of this place admis
sion to the University without examina

Fact that our city schools are rapidly as
consistent with thoroughness , taking
rank with the first schools of the state ,
and that our graduates may , if they
have the means and inclination , enter
upon the University course.
Repeatedly has our attention been
called to the decaying , festering car
casses scattered along the roads leading
from the city , especially that one south.
Another letter , this week , from one of
our country people , calls to mind the
disagreeable fact that these stench and
disease producing nuisances have in no
wise been abated , and that the same re
main , in some cases right in the high
way , contrary to all law and common
sense. Where are the minions of the
law , whose duty it is to look after such
things ? It is simply preposterous to
believe that this condition of roads can
continue unattended to.
Duck hunting comes high , but the

Whittaker's pond on the valley south of

losses he has sustained in killed and

Fail to bring about the desired result ,
a little legal suasion will have to be re
sorted to , as in this case. He isdeter

nimrods can train their sails according

On Saturday afternoon , the hand
some black carriage team of W. H. Dav
enport of Culbertson , indulged in a ter
rific runaway , down through Dennison
street , fortunately with inconsiderable
damage , although the thoroughfare was
quite filled with people and teams at
the time. The runaway was occasioned
by the breaking of the king bolt of the
vehicle. The driver was violently pre
cipitated to the ground , and was unable
to hold the now thoroughly frightened
team , which dashed down the street
with the above effect. One of the horse's
hoofs was slightly injured , and Tom
Campbell's picket fence , as well as the
front wheels of the wag6n were some
what the worse for the affair , which was
intensely exciting for a few moments.

It seems that outrages arc not entire-
'ly ' confined to the "city on the lake , "
but that uur own peaceful Driftwood
f was the scene of a 'bull-dozing , tenor-
izing affair , of a disgraceful character.
It seems that John O'Donnell , W. W.
Armstrong , A. H. Bailer and others
have instituted contest against certain
claims in the locality , which has stirred
up the ire of an organized body of men ,
who are not disposed to have those
claims contested. Consequently , on
last Wednesday a week , a number of
this organization went to the place of
John O'Donnell and with threats , so arc
information goes , attempted to coerce
him into withdrawing his contest. As
previous threats are said to have been
made , this demonstration terribly excit
ed and terrified the family of O'Donnell }
as well as those of the neighbors above-
named. The informant further avers
that the witnesses in these cases have
been threatened by this organization ,
and that they express fear of bodily
harm , if they testify. It is immaterial
what the provocation may be , bull-doz
ing demonstrations and measures such
as the above are reported to be , are in
famous and cowardly , and should not
be tolerated. If the parties whose
lands are under contest have complied
with the law , they have nothing to fear
from the law , but if , on the other hand ,
they have failed , they ought and doubt
less will lose their claims , and unlawful
measures will not avial them anything.
We received a pleasant call from Dr.
Presson , this week , who has been spend
ing a few days in our city looking after
the interests of the Western Mutual Be
nevolent Association of Beatrice , Neb.
The Dr. has written up 12 or 15 of our
leading business men , and organized a
Local Board , for the better protection
of the policy holders and the company's
interests. We are pleased to note that
this enterprising company is rapidly get
ting to the front , and under its present
efficient management , its low rates and
popular plans of insurance it certainly
commends itself to the confidence of
everyone desiring mutual insurance.
In answer to the fool tirade in this
week's Courier , we would simply remark
that we thought we were advisedly in
formed about the non-building of the
bridge over the Republican southwest of
Indianola , as we received it from an
Ash Creeker himself. As to "fraud , ly
ing and deception , " Bishop knows more
about it practically and theoretically
than any man in Red Willow county.
Keep your nether garments on , Georgie ,

Complaint is very general about the
wretched condition of the water from
the city mains , and examination shows
thai the wells are at present surrounded
by stagnant , surface water , which fact
doubtless explains the matter in part.
The company should see to it that the
source from which the city derives its
water supply is as pure as may be , as
pure water is most essential to good
health.
A partnership has been formed by
W. M. Sanderson of our city and E. G.
Bean , late of New York City , a scenic and
sign painter of great merit. Mr. Bean
has come to stay , and the firm is prepar
ed to do any kind of work in their line ,
from plain painting to the finest fresco
work. The scenery recently painted
by Mr. Bean is a creditable sample of
what they are able to do in that line.
A singing class will be organized in
this city , about the last week in this
month , by A. G. Bixler , who has gained
considerable note as a teacherand direc
tor. He expects to spend two or three
weeks in the city , and our singing peo
ple should avail themselves of this op
portunity to develop and improve their
talent in this line.
The brightening effects of paint are
everywhere observable at the Frees &
Hocknell Lumber Co.'s headquarters ,
this week. Both the interior and exter
ior have been remembered. A neat
wooden awning replaces the old canvas
one , which was somewhat the worse for
wear.
The eye of the general public is irre
sistibly attracted to that fine specimen
of painting at Hayden's. For a real
delicate tint , it takes the linen off the
shrubbery completely.
