Down The River.
Mr. Shelbourn went to town with
hogs Monday.
Mrs. Grooms and son were in
town Saturday.
Potato digging is the chief occu
pation in these parts of late.
Mrs. Burner has been in poor
health the past week but is better.
The social at Harmony was well
attended and a fine time reported.
Mrs. Jelty spent Sunday at Mrs.
Shelbourn's and also called on Mrs.
Nollelt.
School opened Monday morning
in Kewanee in charge of Miss G.
Hobsou.
Mrs. Nollett is still very sick , the
doctor being called out again last
Saturday.
Miss Kortz , the county superin
tendent , visited the Prairie View
school last week.
Messrs. McKenna and Newman
were in these parts recently after
cattle for Mr. Eornby.
Frank Grooms and John Shel
bourn , Jr. , expect to attend Grand
Island college this winter.
As this is the time of year that
cattle herds break up , all those who
have herds are pleased.
The oft repeated statement that
a Jap will fight for 24 hours on a
ration of two or three beans and a
sip of tea has been explained by the
statement that the bean is not one
of the common variety but a veg
etable often a yarJ in length and
large enough to fill a quart measure.
A single bean makes a meal for a
hungry ploughman.

We usually have six weeks of
flood weather After the first cold
* .
snap.
Squaw winter comes earlies than
common this year.
Potato crop is short in this vi
cinity , although * almost everyone
has euougb for his own use.
These snows are hustling the
people to get their cattle home
from the herds. Messrs. Tillson
and Sorby brought theirs in the
first of the week.
Geo. Davis and Will Seaman
were stuck with heavy loads of
lumber on a down hill pull on the
hill south of the Kake ranch bridge
over the Niobrara.
D. A. Hancock returned from
his trip on the reservation Satur
day. He was rounding up and
hunting stray cattle. We under
stand Mr. Hancock has near a 100
head of cattle missing.
Miss Olive Bliss will have a box
social in district No. 28 on Friday
night , Nov. 3. A good program
is promised. Instead of selling
the boxes , the young ladies will be
shrouded in sheets and pillow cases
and sold for supper partners. The
proceeds will be used to purchase
a teacher's desk.
The weather is "agin" the young
folks dancing in the new school
house in the Hutchison district , as
it has snowed on each night ap
pointed for the dance. Despite
the storm there were ten couple
out and danced until midnight and
then went to B. L. Graddy's and
had an oyster supper last Friday
night.
I feel constrained to ask what
girls wear gold rings with their
hands grimy with dirt and finger
nails in deep mourning ? Or rib
bons and laces around their necks
and their ears rimmed with black ?
Or swear about their teacher and
make dirty rhymes about her if
offended at her ? Take a look at
yourselves girls and remember
others see and hear too. And Oh
girls I S.hame ! Shame !
Last Saturday Will Graddy met
with a serious and very painful
accident. While out coyote hunt
ing with a party of friends , the
dogs overhauled a coyote and in
the fight the wolf seized a dog by
the leg. Graddy ran up to kick
the coyote loose , and at the same
instant Dave Archer shot at the
coyote. The ball passed entirely
through Graddy's foot , lodging in
the shoe sole. Mr. Archer took
him immediately to Ffc. Niobrara
to have the wound properly
dressed. EAGLE.
