One evening last week Alec Char-
bonneau found himself in the midst of
about one hundred of his friends who
assembled there to dance in his splen
did new barn , which measures 40x(50 (
on the ground , with 16-foot posts.
We danced on the second floor.
About 12 o'clock an elegant supper
was served , the table being1 furnished
with everj-thing" the market affords.
Alec is one of the old timers , who
knows how to treat every one right.
Much credit is due to him and his
good wife for their hospitality.
ONE WHO WAS PRESENT.
See Farnham and Dikeman about
sound shoes.
Last Friday morning' the private
car of Geo. Bidwell. general manager
of the Elkhorn road , was switched tea
a sidetrack here , and during the day
that gentleman accompanied Assist
ant Secretary of War Meiklejohn ,
Major Brad Slaughter , paymaster for
this department , and Capt. Hutchinson -
son , who was at one time stationed
here , on a tour of inspection of Fort
Niobrara. They returned to town at
about 4 p. m. , and left on the passen
ger that night for Forts Robinson and
Meade.
In conversation \vith Mr. Meikle-
john on the return of the party from
the post , we learned that he was very
much pleased with the fort hete , and
he assured us that he would do all in
his power to obtain at least a bat
talion of cavalry as a garrison. He
found everything at the post in as
good repair as could be expected on
account of the limited amount of
money which has been expended for
repairs , and further assured us that
the amount would be increased in the
future. He found the people of Val
entine cordial to the extreme , and
ivas impressed with our progressive
little city. Being a Nebraskan him
self , he of course will be expected to
lo fully as well for Nebraska as for
Dther localities , and on account of the
Elattei ing vote given Kinkaid in this
: ounty said he would exert himsel f to
the utmost to have Fort JNiobrara
placed on a footing with other modern
posts.
This is encouraging news - to our
people , and we are glad to inform
them cf the Secretary's views. '
Sergeant John Williamson returned
| this week from Manila , where he had
, been with the Twelfth Infantr- .
) The Sergeant is now on the retired
list , having served Uncle Sam faithfully -
fully for more than thirty years , and
i is exceedingly glad to gat home again.

Infant mortality is something
frightful. Nearly one-quarter die
i before they reach one year , one-third
j before they are live , and one-half before -
; fore they are fifteen ! The timely use
I of White's- Cream Vermifuge would
Jsave a majority of these precious
j lives. Price 25 cents. J. H. Quigley.
j From Oct. 3 to Nov. 0 , inclusive ,
ithepost office here was ordered * to
i keep track of the amount of mail
originating in the office , by classes
and the amount sent to . the
railroad , with the followingre -
suit in pounds as furnished us by
Postmaster Sherman ; '

Suppose we figure that each piece
of mail matter weighs on an average
one ounce , which is a fair estimate ,
we find that the local officials handled
during the 35 days , 57,360 pieces of
mail , papers , letter and cards , before
they were ever put in a mail sack or
box. As it is a safe guess to say each
piece of mail was , handled at least
four times , we find these figures
quadrupled. Iu other words they
handled 229,440 pieces of mail inSo
days , or 6.555 per day , or an average
of over 10 per minute during each of
10 working hours per day.
