Ed Cowden , a brother-in-law of Dave Peters , came out las't week from Dewey , Kan. , to visit with Dave and family and to look at the country. If Mr. Cowden can find a suitable location he will probably locate in Cherry county. Tho preliminary hearing of the Wood lake boys , charged with using Spanish Fly with criminal intent , was held before Judge Towne last Friday. The charge could not be proven against the boys and the case was dismissed. About 20 woodlake school children were up as witnesses , as well as several older people. The Christmas tree given by Miss O'Shaughnessy last Friday evening was a grand success. It was witnessed b.v a large and well pleased audience. After an ex cellent program Santa Clans treat ed the crowd. The ' 'school-ma'am" showed her ability on this occasion and we hope she will soon call us together again. ONE WHO WAS THERE. Mrs. Catherine McDonald has h.'r general merchandise store op en now and ready for business. She has a complete line of new goods throughout which were bought for cash at a low figure and which she will sell at bedrock prices. She will be glad to have all old customers , as well as many new ones , call and inspect these goods. Mrs. McDonald tells you of some of the good things she has to sell in a big ad elsewhere in this paper. Many students are home for their vacation. It seems as if there is no place like home. Al fred Lewis , Misses Leta Stotter , Allie Cyphers and Margaret "Rob inson returned home from Lincoln Friday morning ; Robert Webb and Leonard Sparks are home from the Michigan Military Academy , and James C. Quigley and Bert Jeffers returned Sunday morning from Omaha. This list shows that there is an attendance of higher schools from Valentine that we all might be proud of. The U. S. Weather Bureau re port for the week ending Dec. 2S , shows a more interesting and sea sonal exhibition of temperature ranges , the highest being Gi ° on the 22nd and the lowest 20 ° be low zero on the 27th , a total range of 6i ° . giving a m an of li 4 ° . Unusually high winds accompan ied these extreme temperatures nearly all the weeK up to the 2Sth when the wind and the tempera ture assumed more normal con ditions. The highest velocity was 38 miles per hour on the 27th and coincided nearly with the lowest temperature. The precipitation was very light dry snow , measur ing about .06 of an inch. Two cold wave warnings were issued during the week and both verified. Ideal winter weather begins again on the 2Sth. Flce'iing Age. The days o by , The riiomonis llv , As'if on fleeting win s.

Miss Elsie Sherman played the wedding march while the bride and groom , attended by Miss Inez Pettycrew and Mr. Bertrand Jef- fers , marched into the parlor where the ceremony was performed in the presence of a few ralatives and friends , many of the invited guests being unable to attend because of the stormy night. A bountiful luncheon was then served , the Misses Ethel Sherman , Bessie Gnskill , Lillian Holsclaw and Ennis Boyer acting as waiters. Many beautiful and useful pres ent * betokened the esteem of their relatives and friends. The brido grew to womanhood in our midst and her beautiful character has won for her the esteem of all.

F-re Started in Kitchen , Prolv ably From Defective Flue , No Lives Lost , During the severe cold wave which was accompanied by a high wind , last Snnday night , fire broke out in K company's quarters at Fort Niobrara and completely de stroyed them , leaving only the adobe walls standing. The fire which started in the kitchen had gained considerble headway before it was discovered , which was about 12 o'clock. The alarm was immediately sounded and the Post fire company soon had the hose cart run to the scene of the firo , hut owing to the intonso cold and the lire plug being froz en it was some time before water could he thrown onto the flames. K company's quarters were in ' about the middle of the row , and ; tinwind being from the north | probably saved the other quarters Q& < t of it. From what wo can learn the fire had almost envelop ed the building before it was dis covered and the men had no chance to save anything but themselves and what few clothes they could pick up as they ran pell moll from the burning building. Many lost all their clothes and bedding. No cause for the fire has been ascertained but the general opin ion is the that it was caused by a defective flue. The men of K company have been assigned to the several differ ent companies at the Fort , and owing to the crowded condition existing there now , will probably be transferred to some other fort while the demolished quarters are being rebuilt. Now is the time to get your in surance on your buildings and Btock. Storms have already begun md if you are without insurance i will be your neglect. It costs but i trifle to insure against fire , light- ' . ring and tornadoes in the best state jompanies. They are represented jy I. M. Rice , Valentine , Nebr. COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. J. R.
