D. J. Drebert , special agent of
: he German Mutual Fire Insurance
Co. , of Omaha , was visiting their
> ocal agent , I. M. Rice , of Valen-
; ine last Friday and Saturday.
The two coons who faked the
people out of a collection Satur
day night on a promise to give a
performance , tried it again Mon
day night but it wouldn't work.
A travelling musician accom
panied by his daughter slopped in
our city last week a couple of days
and held open air concerts eve
nings and went out to the grove
Friday to help entertain the Eagles.
Misses Inez Petty crew and Myr
tle Pettijohn started to the World's

A cement crossing is being put
in across Catherine street between
the Valentine State Bank and
Davenport & Thacher's. Rock
and cement is used for the founda
tion and Long-pine sand , and ce
ment for a 3l inch face which * \vill
make a splendid crossing.
E. II. Batty , of Alma , ] NTcbr. ,
called on us last week while in
town looking up some ranches in
our county for friends of his. He
is editor of the Alma Record and
the Orleans Star and gets out an
all home print paper on account of
the high prices he 4has to pay for
ready prints.
Another grafter on the street
Tuesday night had a dog show. A
dozen dogs or more , trained to
perform little tricks. A large
number of Valentine people col
lected in front of Geo. Hershey's
saloon to see them perform. A
collection was taken by the pro
prietor. Some of the People
think Valentine is moving right ,
to the front with these street en
tertainments each night.
Valentine needs new sidewalks
pretty bad. Its commonly ex
pressed by travelling men when
they come to our town that we
need better sidewalks. People
whom we show around b&ig on our
fine buildings , but almost invari
ably remark , * 'But your sidewalks
are bad , " "yes , " we say , "but
we are .iroing to put in better ones
soon. " We hope we have not in
fringed upon the truth in answer
ing thus.
Mr. Ford , who with Herbert
Breuklander has rented the Breuk-
lander blacksmith shop , is a black
smith from Fremont , having sev
eral years experience , and has a
good knowledge of blacksmithing.
He is energetic and industrious.
If you give him an idea of what
you want done he can do the work.
Notice their ad in this paper and
take your work to them when you
want courteous treatment and up
to date , quick work -done at reasonable
enable prices.
There arc a lot of people coming
liere each week who file on land
and others who are looking for
ranches. We hope they will tell
their neighbors at home about this
country and bring enough money
to get a bunch of stock.
Mrs. C. Whillans and daughter ,
Miss Anna , came down from Gor
don Saturday morning and were
met at Valentine by John Shel-
bourn , who took them out to his
place for a visit. They are from
Wisconsin and lately came West
for a visit with relatives. Mrs.
Shelbourn is a daughter , and John
Whillans of Woodlake , a son of
Mrs. Whillans.
A blind man stopped on our
streets last Saturday to give open
air concerts for what the people
were willing to contribute. He
played the fife and beat the snare
and big drums with his feet. He
was the whole show and played
solos on his violin and picked the
guitar while he sang a few huracr-
ous-aud sentimental songs. Our j
people always have been liberal
with these travelling concert people
ple and of late there are a great
many stopping here with a turned
over foot and a card and some
sympathetic appeal for aid. A
blind man , led by a boy , was an
other of Valentine's proteges for a
day last week. Beside these , there
has been numerous persons calling
for help for a cripple leg , hand or
foot or for some institution hun
dreds of miles away. It's popular
to travel and beg--for this or that
it seems.
A couple of coons dropped into
town last Saturday and with drums
and speaking tubes proceeded to
notify the citizens of tlie town that
they would give an open air con
cert on Main street in the evening.
They proceeded to do so and took
up a collection , but after a short
silly performance they started
around again with their tambour
ines for another collection , stating
they would play as long as their
lights would burn , but gave only a
short two minute performance and
then the blind man with the fife
and drum drew the crowd again.
It might be impertinent to suggest
to thetown , board that our citizens
should be protected from these
fakirs who come with no license
and no responsibility for their be
havior. There are also too many
beggars of late who come as a busi
ness matter to get what they can
and have more money to ride on
the train to the next place where
picking promises to be go.od for
them.
The Eagle picnic was enjoyed
by a large crowd of young people
last Friday at Thacher's grove.
There was a grand stand much the
same as on the 4th of July , only
larger. Allen G. Fisher , of Chad-
ron , was the speaker of the day ,
and John Tucker was master of
ceremonies. A musician , and his
daughter sang a few cute songs ,
which made people laugh and start
ed them on the right foot for a
good time. Dinner and supper
were eaten in the grove by many.
A dance was given in the evening
which was highly appreciated by
those who danced. The base ball
game took place before noon be
tween soldiers of the white com
pany at the Fort and the Valentne |
nine , resulting in a score .of 13 to
2 in favor of Valentine. A doll
baby rack-a , cane rack and shoot
ing gallery amused some , while
others chatted in the shade or loit
ered around the rope swings. The
Eagles had a splendid day for their
picnic and all who were there
.seemed to enjoy a good time.
Many are already wishing for an
other such time.
