An east-bound extra freight

ing. The engine and a .few cars

Prof. Watson and wife .returned

fessor is a first-class instructor ,

Ainsworth Star-Journal.
J. C. Webb failed to letthe
contract for his new hotel last
Friday as he had expected. E'ids
were scarce and the bidders w-ere
high and he has placed the pi * o-
jict in cold storage and will ket'-p
it until lat or in the season.
What the hotels do with all theJ
new furniture they buy is a mys-1
tery. Every hotel ad v7ertisei nent
states that the house has just
been "newly furnished through
out" and yet the average h otel
furniture looks as though it laad
been used ever since the da-rk
ages.
An impression is gaining 1
ground that the D EMOCRAT'S de v- 1
is dead set against poetry and
wants to discourage poets. This i
is far from the truth. Under
some circumstances he just loves
it and will gladly print all their
rot that is brought in during thei ,
boss' absence for $1 a line and
this price includes two extra-
copies of thepaper for the al-
legefl poet.
I Afarmor's team became fright
ened while standing in front of
Geo. Hornby's store last Satur-
, day and broke loose from the
1 spring wagon to which they were
hitched and started toward the
setting sun at a 2:40 : gait. Oscar
Buchel attempted to stop them
and one of the horses reared up
and struck him on the head , caus
ing him to see stars as big as a
box car. He recovered and re
turned to his work in a short
time.
Miss Blanch Hutchlnson was
thrown from her horse about a
month ago and fractured her left
arm and dislocated her wrist , re
sulting in a bad deformity. Dr.
Dwyer placed her under the in-
iiuence of chloroform , broke the
arm and replaced the bones in
their proper position. The Doc
tor has his headquarters in Rush-
ville , but came down to spend the
Fourth. No one is more welcome
here than Dr. Dwyer. He will
be in Valentine on the loth , IGth
and 17th of each month and in
Ainsworth on the INth and 19th.
We learn that Miss Lura Gal
lop is teaching penmanship at
Durango , Col. She was one of
Cherry county's fairest girls ,
highly educated and accomplished
and though young , she ranked as
one of the best , most thoroughly
efficient and earnest teachers in
the county , having taught here
the greater part of ten years.
As a teacher of penmanship she
had no equal here , her work be
ing of the highest class. Her in
fluence among the young people
was always of the best and she
always had a smile and a kind
word for both old and young
which still lingers in many a
memory.
Friday was an ideal day for cel
ebrating the Nation's birthday ,
cool and pleasant and yet warm
enough to cause a lively demand
for cooling drinks. The program
as advertised was carried out ,
commencing with a salute of 100
guns at sunrise and right here
we want to remark that this is
the first time we have heard of
the sun rising in the middle of
the night in this latitude. Early
in the day visitors commenced
pouring into town by railroad3
wagons , carriages and on horse
back and before ten o'clock both
sides of Main street were crowd
ed. The parade in the morning
was the best we have ever wit
nessed in a town of his size and
it was followed by the reading of
the Declaration of Independence
and the usual orations. After
dinner the sports began with a
ball game between the Fort and
Norden. Seven innings were
played and it looked more like a
foot race than a ball game , though
there was some good playing at
times. We failed to get the of
ficial score but understand it was
110 to 107 in favor of the regular
army , who carried off the § 25.00
purse. This was followed by an
other game between Sparks and
Valentine for a similar purse and
our boys kept that money at home
with a score of 28 to 2 another
foot race. There were other
sports , races , etc. , and freedanc-
ing with music by the Arabia or-
chestra and in the evening a fine
display of fireworks. The Nor-
den and the ladies' bands furn
ished some fine music through
the day. Everybody seemed to
enjoy themselves thoroughly and
quit at a late hour tired but hap
py. The thanks of the commun
ity are due the committees who
worked early and late to make
the celebration a success.
