Sing a song of penitence , a fel
low full of rye ; four and twenty.
serpents dancing in his eye ; when
his eyes were opened he shouted [
for his life : wasn't he a pret
ty chump to go before his wife ?
His hat was in the parlor under
neath a chair , his boots were in
the hallway , his coat was on a chair ,
his trousers in the kitchen , his col- '
i
lar on the shelf ; when the morn
was breaking : someone heard him j
call his head was on the ice box , '
which was the best of all. Ex. j
B. F. Carter was in our city from
Ainsworth last week.
There came near being a fighi
on the street Monday evening and
a large crowd gathered to sec what
was the excitement. It proved tc
be , however , only a skirmish. Bet
ter a good run than a bad stand.
The old county jail is being torn
down and from this date it will be
no more. It was built in the early
days when the county was new and
was composed of 2x4s nailed to
gether fdr sides , ends and floor and
made a strong building that might
have done good service in Noah's
flood , and did serve the purpose of
a county jail for several years in
the early days. It was standing
near the Bower's & Parry livery
stable and at the present time owned
by Mrs. Bennett , who is having it
torn down to build a larger house.
Hereafter , the regular sessions
of Minnechaduza Lodge Xo. 192 ,

instead of the second Tuesday as
heretofore. The next regular ses
sion of the lodge will be on the first
Tuesday in May , at which time the
annual election of officers , work in
the third degree and other import
ant business to be transacted at
/
that time. All members and all
Master Masons in1 good standing
are cordially invited to be present.

Association. J.V. . Stetter was
re-elected as a member of the ex
ecutive committee. The capture
of the train of wagons by the Incl-
dians , the burning of a couple of
wagons , the prairie on fire and the
recapture of the train by the cow
boys and the scenes connected with
them were very interesting to vis
itors. Also the holding up of the
stage , the roping of wild steers and
riding bucking bronchoes won the
admiration of everyone.
We are pleased to hear that E.
EL Bohlc has decided to remain in
Vralentine and will put in a com
plete line of confectionery , canned
oods , lunch counter goods , sum
mer drinks , ice cream and every

ter to the wants of the public. Mr.
Bohle has decided to discontinue
serving meals and will devote his
energies exclusively to serving the
people with first class confection-
cry , ice cream and soft drinks.
