over this law but we will soon get on

When you go to a hotel you select
what you want to eat and dont kick
because a man who eats everything on
the bill of fare pays the same as you
do Still you raise the devil if some
thing in a newspaper doesnt suit you
It always pleases somebody Dont be
a philosopher about your stomach and
a fool about your head Delphos 0

Since 1866 we have paid pensions
aggregating 1949562071 and a
whole lot of people charge the hard
times and all our woes to that pay
ment But during the same time the
general government alone paid interest
aggregating 2791576712 and the
same people say that is all right nec
essary an evidence of our thrift pros
perity etc Aint it queer
The Populists of Nebraska have the
opportunity this fall to demonstrate
to the country at large their earnest
ness in the fight against the gold bug
party They should know by tnis
time that such men as Yandervoort
and his ilk are owned body and soul
by the Bosewater clique and were put
into the Populist ranks to try and
create discord in the party The fact
that Bosewater devotes so much of the
pace in his paper to the middle-of-the
loaders ought to be sufficient proof to
even a wooden headed man

Fourth of July
Owing to the large amount of coun
ty work thi3 week we are unable to
give the celebration a good write up
but suffice it to say that everything
came off as advertised The parade
in the morning was equal to anything
ever seen in the northwest the battle
ships with their ever recurring broad
sides at the crowd being especially ap
propriate this year The display of
floats by business houses was good
those of Hornby Moiey Minnechadu
zaMill Tva Efner The Bepublican
and E Breuklander being worthy of
particular mention Th turnout of
decorated bicycles was good and the
allegorical floats Columbia saving
Cuba The Downfall of Spain and
I The U S and the Phillipinea were J
as fine as the finest Bobert Martin
of Ainswortb G W Miller Harry
Harper and F M Sageser made up a
drum corps that discoursed martial
music all day The program at the
bowery was complete in every detail
the orator of the day J S Davisson
delivering an eloquent address replete
with polished phrases and brimming
over with wisdom and patriotism
which won for him many words of
praise The address by Ben Brave
the full blooded Sioux was a pleasant
surprise and elicited many rounds of
applause The free dance in the bow
ery during the afternoon and evening
received a large patronage and the
day and night fireworks were excellent
Every prize was paid in cash and
every promise made was kept as near
ly as circumstances would allow
Some events did not fill and the In
dian ball team for some unknown
reason failed to keep their promise to
the base ball committee No disturb
ances occurred and but few drunks
were seen
The winners of the various prizes
were as follows
Bicycle race free for all Harper

In camp today I am about 25 miles
from the Crow reservation expect to
reach the mission tomorrow Have
had lots of rain and mud and high
water Crossed the Big Powder river
on the railroad bridge at Arvada
Wyo Clear creek was more than
bank full ferried my dry goods across
on a flat boat and forded my wagons
and horses I have had some antelope
on the trip also some mountain trout
the streams are too high to catch
many I have had a good time and
lots of sport so far on my journey
There is lots of emigration west 18
wagons in eamp here very few going
east The irrigated crops look fine
also the range which never could be
beat The Crow reservation is a land
of paradise I met with Mr Will
Fauver at Sheridan Wyo also Chas
Day at Tongue river I have struck
some awful bad water on the trip but
have had good water since we struck
the mountain streams I am in eamp
on the Lodge Grass creeK the grass
is waist high a good soil and a health
ful stream and full of mountain trout
We reached the mission June 29
all safe also crossed the Big Horn
river all right One emigrant fam
ily capsized and drowned one child
and one horse the rest being saved by
a Crow Indian chief Another fam
ily had a narrow escape from getting
drowned C C Thompson

Be sure tQ read the claims allowed
by the county commissioners You
may make money by doing it There
are now In the clerks office several
hundred warrants from one to five
years old which remain unclaimed
simply because their owners do not
read the papers Several school dis
tricts have money tied up this way
and the district officials should call
and tee about the matter
