John , Henry and Peter Porath of Riege were in town yesterday on business. A number of hogs were brought up from Sparks last Monday and sold to local dealers. Sam Hunson drove in from his ranch near Simeon Monday , re turning home Tuesday. Mrs. William Ward drove down from Britt Monday and spent sev eral days in town visiting friends. Cloyd Quigley and Oliver Wal- cott came up from Bellevue last Friday night to spend a week or two at home. They are having a spring vacation. Mrs. Piercy , Misses Agnes and May Piercy and Messrs. Dave and Wm. Piercy returned from Oma ha last Friday night and went out to the ranch Sunday. - Company A , 25th Infantry , left Sunday night for Fort Washakie , Wyo. They are to be stationed as guards during the comihg open ing of the Shoshone reservation. 0. D. Carey drove down from the Rosebud boarding school last Monday to vistit a day or two with his family. He returned yester day , taking with him a mess cook for the school. Yank O'Brien was in town Mon day after supplies. He expects to start next Monday for Kansas City , and will also visit St. Louis in hopes of securing .relief * for a chronic case of catarrh. The city election passed oil quietly last Tuesday. W. S. Bark er and Dr. A. N. Compton were elected , receiving 143 and 140 votes respectively. Dr. H. Dailey and H. S. Savage each received 69 votes. C. S. Reece drove to town Tues day and hauled out a load of freight yesterday. Mr. Reece brought his wife and children to town to take the train for ManhattanKan. where they go to attend the funer al of Mrs. Reece's mother. John Porath , the well driller , tells us that he has connected his place with the North Table Tele phone line and can talk down town or anywhere that there is a phone. Call him up by phone when you need a well or well repairs. Hon. C. H. Cornell returned home last Saturday night from Washington , D. C. , whither he had gone at the request of the stockmen of Cherry county in be half of a lease bill of the public range. Though failing to effect a lease favorable for passage on account of the sentiment opposed to a lease bill of any kind coming in from all over the country , Mr. Cornell tried to do something for Fort Niobrara or to learn if any thing could be done for the post , looking to its rebuilding on a larger scale. There "was some opposition to rebuilding the post on account of numerous other demands for appropriations and their was not enough to go around and give each post a boost. However , Mr. Cornell was promised that Fort Niobrara would not be totally abandoned , but that it will be made a maneuvering post for a time until a period when it might be rebuilt for an artillery post. Mr. Cornell admits that the out look is not most encouraging , but we feel confident that he has made a good showing for Fort Niobrara and that congress and the war de- parment has heard more about Ft. Niobrara in the last month than in any year of its existence. * . * . _ Buy early while the lines are new , fresh and up to date , and when you have your choice of the many beautiful patterns we have to offer you.

We feel interested in Bellevue as three of our graduates are there. We would be most pleased to accommodate Eagle and in a pinch might crack a few jokes about a blind mule and a mother-in-law , but as for the humor in some of his paragraphs we think it ought to be labeled.
