John Berry called at our office this morning in company with Col. Tracewell. Mr. Berry , with lis family , returned yesterday from Big Horn Basin , Wyo. , where he has been for several vears , but was one of the early settlers of this county , living down the Niobrara river for 20 years. The democratic party should lave a share of the offices held in our county if they nominate men who are qualified and worthy. It is but fair to the taxpayers that worthy candidates be elected to office representing the different political parties. Persons who contrive to prevent the people from having such representation may be looked upon as being too strongly partisan for our county's best interests. Grand man Holsclaw happened to a serious accident yesterday evening. She was sitting in Kev. Holsclaw's delivery wagon on a chair placed in the back end and tipped out as the wagon went over the Davenport street crossing , falling backward upon the cement pavement and hard ground be side it. SliQ was taken to the home of George Hornby and will receive every attention possible for her recovery and to ease her suffering. This morning it is learned that a rib was broken by the wagon wheel passing over her body. She is in constaat pain and Dr. Holsclaw , her son , thinks probably the broken rib has pene trated the lung. For Sale Good 6 room house and lot on Hall street , good stable. Inquire at this office. We are prepared to make real estate loans. WALCOTT & MORRISSEY. There was a good , jovial crowd at Simeon last Saturday. The people met in Mr. Young's grove Friday and Saturday to enjoy a picnic after the hay harvest. They brought dinner and spread it out here and there , two and three families joining together in groups. After dinner a program of singing and speaking occupied the people for an hour after which horse' i races and broncho riding engaged their attention. Some went home after this but many stayed for the platform dance which began as the races closed. ' i The Euphonium. Glee Club , which appears in Valentine at the ' M. 1C. church , Oct. IS , 1905 , has received much praise from the pa pers of the state. The members of the club have been associated for three years , which speaks well ! for their entertaining powers. If ihey were not pleasing people , some member would be made a ' scape goat and his disappearance would follow. Our people usually orefer a male quartet concert to any other. Backed by the good "reader , " the Mr. Miehe , the Glee Club will no doubt give us a very enjoyable program. As the quar- ; et gives the first number of the "Lecture Course" it should be ! given a hearty reception. The U. S. weather bureau re- . port for the week ending Oct. 11 , ' 1905 : The mean .daily tempera- .ure 55 ° was 3 ° above the nor- nal. The extreme of temperature : 'or the week were respectively 91 ° on the 6th and 26 ° on the llth , a range of 65 ° which is nuch greater than usual. The' ' tilling frost on the 10th and llth . was fully 20 days extended be yond the average for 18 years. t came in good time to complete the corn crop while incidently de stroying the tender vegetation such as tomatoes. The prccipita- | tion for the week was .48 of an ' nch , which added to the total gives ! or the season 25.SS inches , close up to the high water mark of 1892. The winds have been about the average , highest velocity being 36 miles on the 10th. -t Dan Barnes , the democratic candidate for county commissioner was in town last Friday visiting lis son and daughter who are at tending the Valentine sliool. Mr. Barnes called at our office and we ! enjoyed a pleasant afternoon with ' lira. If Mr. Barnes is elected to ! the office of commissioner we fe l sure that it will mean a starting j u the same direction that Mr. Sullivan became famous for as county commissioner. It will mean a return to economy and ' prudence. The lavish expendi- ' tures in recent years and the little j good accomplished has again run the county behind and numerous demands upon our commissioners for the county's present needs fall upon deaf ears for the want of ! unds to expend. Several hun dreds of dollars have been ex pended upon roads that are unfit ! or traveling and other roads are now abandoned for lack of repair. A good , careful , conservative man is needed for the office of county , commissioner who is large enough j : or the place. Political faith should , not prevent the taxpayers from ' electing the right man for this office. Shows Coming. I CHURCH'S OPERA HOUSE. j ' Oct. 24 "Down on the Farm , " jy Hartsough & Smith. ; Nov. 7 "Kip Van Winkle5 by j Leo Blondin. All carry their own band and orchestra. J. L. A8HBURN , Contractor and Build er in Brick or Stone Work. Valentine Nebr , - , , Voters and taxpayers should be equally interested in the selection of county officers this fall. The democratic party should have some representation in the court house. It is but justice to admit this and ' an injustice to deprive any large body or portion of our citizens the right of representation. Our Aus- I tralian ballot system contemplates the correct idea in apportioning the judges and clerks of election , giving a share of representation to each party. This avoids trickery ' . and gives assurance to the voters of a correct count of ballots. Such representation in our county of fices would be most beneficial and taxpayers would have the assur ance that the money paid by them would be wisely expended and taxes kept at the minimum instead of steadily increasing while there is more taxable property each suc ceeding year and taxes ought to be lower. The man who insists on voters supporting a party ticket to deprive another party of rep resentation in the county when such conditions prevail , is not working in the interests of the tax payers , nor for the good of our county. Such a dictator is work ing for his own good and the peo ple are paying the expense. Clyde Kusky is on the sick list. J. C. Scott is here visiting his sister Mrs. D. A. Hancock. Three of Mr. Aberhardt's chil dren ford the Niobrara and attend school in the Hutchison district. Orvill Connor and wife are mak ing a weeks visit with Mrs. Con nor's parents , Theo. Tillson and wife. Hoy Kusicy has bought Charley Lower's interest in the threshing machine. Hamar , Polen & Kusky are the owners now. A meeting will be held in Sparks Oct. lith for the purpose of elect ing officers in the old settlers as sociation , for the ensuing year. The attendance of all old settlers is equcsted. An effort is being made to annex the abandoned school district No. 11 to district Xo. 14. The latter is so small that taxes to the full extent of the law will not sustain a three month's school. As No. 11 lies in a ranchman's pasture he is strongly opposing the annexation. It seems to me no American should refuse to help support our public schools. Most of us received the major portion of our education in the district schools , and we should willingly insure this'great advant age to the coming men and worn- en. EAGI/B. The following poem is from the ! pen of A. J. Irwin of Thermopolis , Wyo. , : ind who is the father of James Irwin of this city : j The family home I loved so well With childhood scenes so bright , Has passed far away from home ; Butvhere are they all tonight. Yes , where are they tonight ? A few happy years of time , That was pleasant fair and bright , And all left their childhood home : But where are they tonight , Yes. where are they tonight ? The childhood song I sung , That made our hearts feel light , Has gone bacs : on the roll ot time : But where are all tonight ? Yes , where are all tonight ? I never thought of the days When the family home so bright , Would be broken up by time : Butvhere are they tonight ? Yes , where are they tonight ? They are out in the world A liying on their right , Taking in all the joys of life ; But where are they tonight , Yeshere are they tonight . Living on homefar * and neai , Taking in wealth on sight , And practicing lessons learned : But where are they tonight , Yes , where are they tonight ? i Days and years have come and gone , : And childhood once so bright i Has grown to man and womanhood : ' But where are they tonight , Yes , where are they tonight ? They're out in the field of time , A laboring for their right , And at the close of the summer day They close work for the night ; But where are they all tonight , . Yes , where are all tonight ?
