There is no teacher in the Doty SU
district this year and the result fo
will be that next year that district
as
will not be entitled to the state ap- ;
portionment. The cause of no
school we learn was that no one
wanted to board the teacher and r"e
so none was secured. I .

James Brantner has been sick
for a couple of weeks with the grip. '

He orders the DEMOCRAT sent to

Tom Hudson was in town a sh
couple of days this week waiting es
for our merchants to get some coal of
so that he could haul out a load. eii
Mr. Fischer was out of coal only a sc
day and keeps his customers well to ;
supplied with good fuel. It pays OY
to do business with a live merchant
who has what you want and when j , .
yon want it.

A colored soldier , of Ft. Nio-1 y
brara , took advantage of a couple i
of Valentine men last Sunday night th
and struck one of them on the jaw th
and knocked him down and kicked f o
him several times. A friend ran & \
up to help the first man up when = ,
he too was knocked down. "We da
hear there was no occasion for this w
man to wreak his vengeance upon 01
two of our citizens and to thus take m
advantage of them by striking withai
out warning. There are some bul-1 vc
lies who tryto get up a reputation g ]
as .bad men. in this way an l for fear ; 01
of getting hurt will strike .without j cc
'
warning to'take all the. advantage , nc
they can. I w

H. B. Clapp , of sinicon , . called
on us Tuesday while in town after
coal. He took a package of gard
en seeds and will raise a little gard
en. His stock is doing finely and
he still has hay to feed.
Chas. E. Price this week be
comes a 'reader of the DEMOCRAT
and says he wants to know what
takes place in and around town and
patronize the local paper. Mr.
Price is a new citizen in ourjtown
tind seems to be satisfied that Val
entine will make a good town.
Lets not roll stones against the
wheels of progress.
Otto Krasch came in from his
ranch south-west of town Friday
and paid another year in advance
for THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT.
Mr. Krasch is running nearly one
hundred head of cattle and has
horses and machinery to run his
ranch. Mr. Krasch is prospering
but would rather sell and got clos-
to school for his children.
Frank Randall this week takes
advantage of our clubbing list and
subscribes for the DEMOCRAT and
Iowa Homestead , The Poultry
Farmer and the Special Institute
Edition of the Iowa ' Homestead . all
for § 1:25 $ This is the. most read
ing for your money that can be had
anywhere in the west. Mr. Ranee
living on TV. E. Haley's farm
south of town and is a live , ener
getic man. , .
Al Young leaves this ' week for
bis home atFairburn , Kebr. , where
hc has a homestead , and though he
the Grand High Boss of the
Kangaroos and stands , high as
counselor in the Sister's .lodge he
tears himself loose from friends
ind associates here and departs for
jhe wild and * woolly West. He
subscribes for the DEMOCRAT to
rollow him and keep him informed
to lodge matters and keep in
ouch with the scouts and boosters.
We heard.thatthere was a nian
ere last week who wanted to put
UI an opera house and that he failed
get' the necessary encouragc-
nent. We would like to know
ivhat j kind of encouragement the
man wants. The town wants an
3pera house and is willingior any
one to build it. But if on the'con
trary < the man wants the to.wn to
juilcj the opera house and give it
him then we are willing that he
should pass on. He surely can't
jxpect us to donate a year's prices
tiqkets to the opera in advance
either. We are not going into
schemes of that kind but if we have
build our opera house , we'll
3Wn it.
In January , when the orchestra
from Ft. ISiobrara came down and
played to the largest audience that
Valentine ever turned out for such
performance , many of the cn-
bhusiastic music lovers declared
that such a fine conceet should be
folio ; ved by another one , and now
Mr. Safranek , the band master ,
ays that he is ready to accommo
date and will play a concert that
ivill discount the former one. The
orchestra has made great improve
ments during the last two months I ,1 ,
incl this performance will be a
veritable treat of music. The pro
gram will be a varied and pleasing
one and .specially seclected. The
concert is to take place on Wed-
{
nesdeyevening , .March llth , and
will be the last of the season.
