Is it not time to put a stop to
these chivari parties ? They might
batter be called mobs , pirates , hold
up gangs or plunderers. The boys
never consider whether or not they
are acquainted with the parties
getting married but are willing to
chivari anyone who comes to town
to get married and hold them up
for th'c treats , which some of our
citizens are pleased to call one of
privileges of being a boy. It may
be that some of the citizens of each
town or community are interested
in everything going along harmon
iously , while one or two here and
there think that if we can't stir up
something there won't be any thing
doin' after awhile and lend their
assistance and encouragement to
create trouble by reckless and
questionable habits and privileges.
It is neither a privilege of a boy to
be boisterous nor the right of a
mob to hold up a stranger or fel
low for the treats because he gets
married. Some say it is the cus
tom all over. It is a vicious and
pernicious custom that enlighten
ed people should eradicate. There
is generally no one going to these
hold-up parties excepting a lot of
would-be . A
toughs- - toughs.
chivari as formerly practiced , was
only .engaged in by friends of the
couple who got married and was
not a general hold-up on the pirate
plan of paying tribute. Anyone
who contributes to a hold-up party
or encourages by excuses should
hereafter feel responsible , for the
boisterous conduct of the boys of
our town. You can't with one
breath say that you approve of
these hold-ups and denounce with
* the next , the participants , because
they get too loud , boisterous or
destructive. Let's have it stopped
in our city at least.

their return here.
A stereoptican show last night
at Bethel hall disgusted those who
were unfortunate enough to be in
attendance. A cheap magic lant
ern and an amateur who probably
never went through a country
school would come nearer describ
ing the outfit. The operator stood
for two hours reading in a mono
tone descriptions which were not
half understood and sometimes get
ting the wrong description- a
picture wrong side foremost. With
his broad brimmed black hat
perched on his head like a back
woods hay seed , never thinking
perhaps to take it off , he convinced
his patient audience that he was a
novice.

What are our marshals doing ! to
stop this promiscuous shooting ?
There will be a call for a grand

A few days ago the editor called
at the Valentine Bottling Works
for the first time since it started in
operation. We found them busy
*
bottling , but they had time to show
us around and explain how it was
ione. Everything was kept neat
ind clean and we feel satisfied that
i man of experience is doing the
ivork.
Last week Valentine and Crooks-
ion were connected by telephone ,
ivhich was put up by Wm. Krotter.
Ehe line is being extended to Wood
Lake and in a short time will con-
icct with Ainsworth. This will
jive us a telephone connection with t
Dmaha. Why doesn't some of our i
anch men get together and put up
line from Valentine south and
