She ad vertises that she can read a man Mice an open book She has the opportun- ty of her life to go down to Lihcoln and read a few pages of Joe Bartley and if she can do all she advertises , icrhaps she can locate some of the r state's missing wealth. i The members of the Junior League 6 met at the M. E. Church last Satur day morning at 9 a. m. , to join in a jicnic at the G. A , R. grounds. A greater portion of Mrs. Moon's class oined them and we are assured of the crowds having a good time. As you would expect , the older young people took a particular fancy to the big swing and the dinner table , also the ar of lemonade. Yesterday morning ye editor in com pany with J. Jordan of Gordon. Dr. T. F. Campbell of Cody and Pr. Jus ' tus of Springview , drove down to Ft. Niobrara , four and one half miles east of town to take in the sights. Lieut. Shock ley and Parshall took us in hand and a very pleasant hour was spent with them in looking over some of the buildings which were found in com plete repair and were very neatly kept Dr. Shockley showed us their garden which is being carefully planted , cul tivated and irrigated. Some fine stalks of Bheubarb are growing just outside the yard of the hospital. Mr. Shock- . ley tells us that they saved over three liundred dollars m making their own garden last year.

Jos. Fincher , living south of Georg ia , is charged with stabbing Wm. Decker , and is under $500 bonds to ap pear at this term of district court , He appeared before Judge Towne Saturday and waived a hearing. Both parties live in the vicinity of Georgia and it is probably a neighborhood row. J. C. Jordon , the Gordon hardware merchant , spent a couple of days in our city this week attending court as a witness in the Schwaberow case. Mr. Jordan , accompanied by Jlidge Harrington , Col. John Maher and ye editor took a drive over our city Tues day evening to note the improve ments and see the electric light plant , the telephone system and the city water works pumping station. All were unanimously of the opinion that Valentine has more natural ad vantages than any town along this line of Rail Road , Our Hotels are as usual over crowd ed and our town is lull of people at tending court. Business with , our merchants is not as brisk as if each was here to trade though a goodly number of those in attendance at court will no doubt avail themselves of the oppurtunity of purchasing a bill of goods before they leave town. There are bargains toybe secured of our merchants both in quality of goods and low prices which defy com petition and their itnmense'stocks of goods afford a better selection than can be had elsewhe/e. The special attention of our towns people who visit Omaha is directed to the prominence of The Millard Hotel and to the first-class service and rea sonable rates that are offered by the management to their patrons. The Nebraska Grain Dealers Association selected The Millard as the place for holding their annual meeting. April 30 , and the attendance was very large. S The Nebraska State Medical Society held the 1902 annual meeting The Millard May 6 , 7 and 8 , and there was a very lanre attendance at this high ly important medical mteting. The annual State Encampment of the o Grand Army of the Republic and the S associate meeting of the Womens Relief corps , were held in Omaha , May 22 and 23 , and The Millard was selected as head quarters for that o 'great occasion. Several hundred members were present. The Millard has also been selected as headquart ers for the June races at Omaha , June 24-27 , the opening race meeting of the Nebraska circuit. When it is remem bered that The Millard rates areas low as $2.00 per day on the American plan and 81.00 on the European plan that the hotel has been newly fur nished , that the cuisine and service is ffrst-cJass iu every particular , and that the location of the hotel is the most central of any in .Omaha , convenient for all street car lines , wholesale and retail districts , banks , car line to South Omaha , etc. , it is easily understood why The Mill ard secured " all the above named State Kansas w . .j AAAAAA . * M . holp to the\iS 583535aS.5J. ; Iliver. which was * -n- dians. | Consult scouts had made I , /r tlie darkness uif' . y-r ' safe from purvu ; . 4 ? plala 4 ?
