Miss Winnie Crowe was in at
tendance at the teachers' meeting
last Saturday.
We made a mistake last week
vin the name of Andrew Schlufter
which should have been Adolph
Schlueter.
Miss Clara Smith , the teacher
at Crookston , was in town last
Saturday attending the teachers'
meeting.
Miss Cora Thackrey departed
last Saturday morning for her
former home at Manhattan , Kan. ,
where she expects to live with her
mother.
Max E. Viertel , the Crookston
merchant , was in town last Friday
on business. He does a good busi
ness at Crookston and has a good
: lass of citizens as patrons.
Dan K. Koby , of Springview ,
ailed on us yesterday while in
town to meet his wife who was re
turning from Chadron where she
had been visiting her folks for sev-
jral weeks.
The llth infantry are now on
, heir way home from four years
foreign service in the Phili pines
and are due this week in "Francisco.
Upon their arrival there , one ( com
pany will receive orders 'to pro
ceed at once to Ft. Niobrara.
Senator Hanna , of Ohio , died at
0-iO : p. m. Monday of Typhoid
fever. A false report came over
the wires here Monday morning
that lianna had died at 11:30 : a.m.
Oar flag floated at half mast con
sequently several hours before his
death.
A positive refusal for money for
repairs from Washington at Fort
Niobrara was accompanied by the
news that as soon as the work on
the permanent posts throughout
the country could be completed to
such an extent as to shelter the !
soldiers , Niobrara would beaband- :
oncd. This will not be later than
the spring of 1905.
The second of the four public
missionary meetings to be held un
der the auspices of the Ladies Aid
Society will occur Sunday , Feb.-
21 , in the Presbyterian church at
7:30 : p. m. The program will be j
an interesting one and will consist
of recitations , music and dialogues. '
Chinese costumes are to be worn.
All are cordially invited to be
present.
Miss Nettie Brosius returned
Tuesday night from Omaha to
spend a few weeks at home , Mr.
and Mrs. Cochran for whom she
has been working having gone to
Poughkeepsie , N. Y . on account
of the death of Mrs. Cochran's
father. J. E. Cochran's father
and brother Percy accompanied
the Cochran family from Omaha
back East.
Lawrence Rice , now past S.years
of age , got tired doing nothing as
heexpressed it , and wanting to
earn some money , Tuesday eve
ning he gathered up a few last
week's DEMOCRATS under his arm
and started out as a newsboy. Up
on his return he was jubilant over
having sold a paper and stalked
around the office as big as if he
managed the shop and singing ,
"By and by hard times comes a
at tljo door , " .
S. J. Blakely was in town from
Simeon last Thursday and Friday
getting supplies for the Anderson-
Hoffacker ranch near that place.
He subscribed for the DEMOCRAT
while in town to get the news.
Lee and Wm. Shepard have pur
chased the Tracewell & Bonser
livery barn and rigs. These young
men are honest , industrious and
worthy of patronage. They have
held positions of trust but will now
ask a liberal share of business for
themselves , and people who deal
with them will find that they are |
courteous , obliging and gentle
manly in their conduct and THE
DEMOCRAT hopes to see them en joy
a reward of merit. The barn was
built larger and higher by Trace-
well & 'Bonser and many conveniences - '
iences added which make it a de
sirable business property.
The boxing contest that is billed
to take place at Ft. Kiobrara next
Friday night , is creating more in
terest in sporting circles than any
thing that has taken place in a
number of years. Ireland has
trained hard and faithfully for this
contest , and is in the best possible
conditions. He is very confident
of winning and is certainly looking
fine. Farrell and his trainer and
backer , Tommy Sullivan , arrived
here this morning. Farrell is a
large man and looks to be a for
midable opponent for any man.
He says he is in fine form , and is as
confident of winning as Ireland is ,
and this should be one of the very
best contests ever pulled off in this
county. A good wad of money
will change hands on this battle.

From the. Cdy Cow Boy :
BRADBURY BOUT. Frank JS.
Bradbury and Mrs. Esther Bert
were united in marriage at Valen
tine , Saturday , February 6 , Judge
Towne officiating. They expect
to reside on the ranch of A. A.
Lamb after the 1st of March.
Word was received in Cody ,
Tuesday morning of the death of
Joseph Schaefer , at Marion Junc
tion , S. D. , the cause of his death
not being known here yet. His
sons , Anton and Alois , departed
from here on Wednesday morning
to be present at the funeral , after
which they will return to Cody.
The deceased has been at Marion
Junction for about three years ,
and the past year Anton has been
residing on his farm near Nenzel.
The news of his death was a sur
prise to the boys here , since Hen
ry received a letter from there
Sunday morning in which nothing
was said about his father being ill.
Burned to death. Clarence El-
bert Lester , second son of J. W.
Lester and wife , aged 3 years , 10
months and 6 days , met his death
Tuesday , Feb. 9 , by being burned.
During the afternoon Mrs. Lester
had stepped out to her neighbor's ,
Mrs. Munn , leaving the two child
ren playing at home , the other
child being about 5 or C years of
of age. Shortly after this the
children began playing with the
fire and in some way the little '
child's clothing was ignited. The
older , it is presumed , was too 1
frightened to run out and give the
alarm and the doomed child was |
burned in a frightful manner.
When the mother reached home
the clothing was nearly all burned
off and the child beyond recovery ?
breathing his last in a short time.

The sympathy of the community
is with the bereaved family in this
their loss. The remains were bur
ied yesterday , the services being
.conducted by Rev , IJunt ,
