Joe Wright-of Lancaster , TVis. ,
brought three fine horses to our
town some time ago , which he and
his horse manager , Mr. Elliott ,
have been exhibiting on our streets
during the past week. One fine |
trotting horse is held at § 2000 and
makes a buggy jingle as he speeds
up und down the' streets of our
town.
A. B. McAlevy drove up - from
his ranch near Kennedy , Monday ,
and brought his brother-in-law , B.
C. Kline , who is from Charles Mix j
county , S. D. , with him. Mr. !
Kline and family , Eynn Burton ,
of Charles Mix county , and Alton
Parish , of Gregory , S. D. , will
start this week for Boise City ,
Idaho , overland in prairie schoon
ers. Mr.'Kline says Boise City is
the iinest city he ever saw and
wants to live there.
There has been an element of
tough boys around town for some
time past. Numerous hints have
been Driven that their conduct
should be corrected by parents or
the boys would get into trouble.
It might be suggested that if the
parents of these boisterous boys do
not take the hint that there will be
trouble in store for them. There
are a great many who think their
boys never get into trouble nor do
anything wrong. It is safe to say
that most of their worry is that
their boys get into trouble and not
that they annoy anyone.
Last Saturday Dr. E. J. DeBell
drove cjown from Rosebud with
his wife and daughter , .Miss Geor
gia , and Miss Lily Munroe , in that
terrible windstorm. They had to
face the wind and were nearly
blinded with the dust , but people
of the West don't mind the sand
as much as Eastern people abhor
the mud. Sunday . morning they
the took train f or West Point , Neb. ,
where they go to celebrate the 50th
wedding anniversary of Mrs. Dej j !
Bell's father and motlfer , Mr. and i
Mrs. Uriah Brunei .

" Wb.are daily being ponfrontec
with some of the crude specimans
of humanity.Last Monday morn
ing a man who was trying to rep
resent himself as being very much
ailiicted , walked with a crutch , was
tongue tied and we suppose he
would have people believe that he
was physically a wreck and a sub
ject of charity. He carried a card
argund to save the wear and tare
onliis tongue and conscience , which
he presented to people asking alms.
Begging reduced to ' a business ,
I v
travelling from place to place ,
should be stopped. If a man is
unable to provide for himself he
should be taken care of.
Henry Carter tells us that one day
last .week while 25 was going west
a grey wolf was spied after one of
W. H. Carter's cows about 5 miles
this side .of cody. Those on the
train fired several shots at the wolf
but failed to scare him away.
When the train reached Cody a
note was hurriedly sent to Mr.
Carter -who gathered several men
and clogs , and with pistols and guns
started in hot pursuit. They soon
located the scene of slaughter.
The wolf was shot and with the aid
of the dogs the conflict soon ended.
The wolf proved to bo aJaTgc he
wolf of the gray species and the
most dangerous to stock. There
appears to be a mother wolf near
with a family of young wolves.
Wolf hunts will -instituted now
they effect another capture.
Don't send a .wagon to bring your
troubles home in. Truly you may
find better use for all your wagons ,
and as for the troubles , let them
furnish their own transportation.
If tlicy are coming they will get
their own conveyances fast enough
too. If they are waiting for your
wagon , then of all times , don't send
it. Many a disagreeable thing
may take the other road and never
come near you if you camly refuse1
transportation along that way. Dd
not stable a pair of restless steeds ,
or more of them for that matter ,
called 'Fears , and a vehicle called
Forebodings , with wheels kept oil
ed by Anxiety , and all ready to go
at a moment's notice to capture and
convey lurking disagreeables near
and far. Better turn the steeds
out to sunshine and break the wag
on mto bits by a few well directed
blows of resolute faith. Whatev
er you do don't furnish transpor
tation for troubles that might oth
erwise never arrive. Ex.

There will be classes organized
in the Junior Normal in every
study required for a 1st , 2nd and
3rd grade teacher's certificate , and
there will be. also a.class organized i :
in Latin if there is a demand for it.
The sixth and seventh 'grades !
met in a spelling contest last Fri
day and the sixth grades came o
victorious. . There were almost
three times as many in the sixth as
in the seventh. Was that fact in
favor of the sixth or seventh ?
Miss Mutchinore's room -was
crowded with visitors last Friday
to witness the Bird Day program.
The seniors received very unique
invitations from the little folks and
attended'in a body , thinking they
might learn something useful for
their work next year when they
iwill be teachers. The program
was enjoyed by all presen.t.
