Nebraska * People Celebrate Fourth In Valentin The two day celebration held in Valentine last week was attended by about 3,000 people , who began dropping into town Tuesday eve ning , and by Wednesday noon our town , like a bee hive , had people swarming in and about. The ball game between Gordon and Johnstown drew a big crowd from both up and down the road. The purse was § 100 and was worth playing for. It was won by Johnstown in a score of 8 to 5 and divided GO and 40 per cent. During the afternoon and eve ning a bowery dance was the cen ter of attraction around which the people swarmed throwing confetti , tooting horns and playing pranks on each other until long after mid night : Early next morning t cannon crackers and booming anvils aroused our people from their slumbers and we knew there was a big day before us. Preparations were hastily completed for the grand parade which consisted of a train of floats a quarter of a mile in length , representing nearly ev ery business house in town , some in special design typical of the business represented which re quired considerable pains and ex pense to build. Some of these that represented business and cost effort to produce should have been considered as most worthy of a prize as the best rather than idle fancy or that which appeared comical or pleasing to the eye. For instance : W. T , Bishop hauled two full grown horses in his float to represent a horse market ; J. P. Ninas hauled a forge and blacksmith outfit and ham mered away at a red hot iron in liis float ; the Eagle Livery had a beautifully decorated buggy and team with an eagle in act of alight ing on the top with outstretched wings ; the Ludwig Lumber Co. paraded with a dain sweep and McCormick mower ; S. F. Oilman muled a ton of flour and mill pro ducts , artistically decorated ; the Modern Woodmen hauled their working crew and a huge log , saw and axes , with the Royal Neigh- jor wagon following , full of wid ows and orphans , with the horn of plenty ; the.W. C. T. U. spent several days decorating a float , which was pulled by a white team , loaded with children carrying banners and a pump working in a pan of water with a continuous flow to represent the cold water wagon : the Home Bakery had a huge loaf of bread , apparently making the parade without pro pelling force ; T. G. Hornby had a float representing the Yankee Cheese Box , but with huge cannon crackers standing on the platform or deck , with lettering "We make the noise ; " Geo. Hornby hauled a tea party of little folks , with neg ro chef serving : 0. W. Morey had a huge swan with a little girl sit ting in the center of the top ; E. Breuklaiider had an old horse and rippled mule hitched to a dilapi dated spring wagon with three wheels , one spindle being propped up with a rail , ' 'going to BreuIn lander's for repairs , " the Goddess of Liberty and States by young ladies ; the Shakespeare club rep resenting Japan or the Philip pines , and THE VALENTINE DEMO- HAT with a hrinting press loaded into a float , printing the news and distributing an extra addition , drawn by four grey horses. The oanner was painted by M. Christensen - tensen in monogram with the words "TiiE VALENTINE DEMO- RAT" and "Bryan 190S" in gold en back ground. Several other wagons and horseback riders were in the parade which we failed to j learn the author of representotion , but in all the parade would have done credit to a city ten times the size and all were artistically and tastily decorated. L. C. Sparks had John Sitser garbed as an ancient with his rig bannered "purchased 5i years ago of Lud wig Lumber Co. , " also several new buggies in the procession. W. E. Haley took it upon him self to play the part of a smart elic in ordering teams here and there in arranging the parade , stating that he was doing this. He has won our hearty disapproval of his questionable conduct in pub lic duty and general lack of courtesy. The program immediately fol lowed the parade , C. H. Cornell , president of the day , delivered the address of welcome and was followed by the song America by a chorus of good strong voices. Hon. F. M. Tyrrell of Lincoln was the speaker. The baleen failed to go up after three unsuccessful attempts and people most generally brand them as fakirs or amateurs. One man came near losing his life , being overcome with gas while inside the baleen watching. The ball game between Valen tine and Crookston resulted in favor of the latter with a score of 9 toT. Schlagle vs Sparks in the fore noon resulted in a score of S to 6 in favor or Schlagle. Other sports were numerous and' entertained the multitudes who came from everywhere around to spend two jolly days celebrat ing and witness the grand display of fireworks. We didn't spend but half our money and have enough left to have a big race meet or carnival later this summer or fall. Geo. W. Kellar was in the city yesterday. Born to Mr , and Mrs. Luke M. Bates , Monday , July S , a son. Mrs. Edythe Latta returned this morning from Chadron and is going out to the lakes tomorrow. The water has been lowered to put in a new wheel at the dam and our town is dark for a few days. days.A A heavy rain fell here Tuesday night , accompanied by a strong wind. The weather bureau re ports 1.87 inches. / Dr. Ayers will be in Woodlake until Saturday evening , July 20. Don't fail to see him if you want painless dental work done. Dr. Ayers has been in the prac tice of denistry for more than twenty-seven years , and his work is not an experiment but is done perfect and without pain. The celebration in Hack berry Thompson's grove was well at tended and those who were fortu nate enough to go remember the cool shade along the river. The man who robbed Jack Pow- tan while he was asleep last Fri day evening was apprehended , ar rested , lodged in jail and the watch and money recovered. W. W. Carson is here to spend the summer with his sister , Mrs. Alf Bradley. He recently came one of a hospital where he was doctored for an abcess on his head. Having located in Longpine , af ter Sept. 1st , Dr. Ayers will make regular trips to Woodlake , but do not fail to see him now as he will be at the hotel in Woodlake until Saturday evening , July 20. | j A three year old girl belonging j Wm. Johnson and wife was overcome - { come by the intense heat July 4r. j and died in the evening. Next morning a telegram from Beatrice announced the death of their five ! year old crippled son. During a severe storm on the reservation last Saturday evening Mrs. Alfred Bordeaux was killed by lightning. There were sharp peals of thunder around Valentine and we expected to hear of light ning striking somewhere near. Henry Stetter's place was struck and some damage done. The rain fall was 1.07 inches. ' * ' TheTalentitie 'base balF'Team have received their new suits , j which are a beautiful white cassi- ' mere , striped stockings and red cans. They went down to Ke- wanee yesterday and won the game by a score of S to 2. At a trial before Judge Lay port last Saturday the charge against D. A. Hancock of provoking an assault was not sustained. The charge against him of fishing with a seine was continued by request of the state. J. D. Scott of Rush- ville was here as short hand re porter. Willie Stetter fell into a deep lime pit yesterday morning while wading around in the water. The water was over his head and he went to the bottom head first. Miltpn Nicholson and Lawrence Rice were standing near by and the latter promptly jumped into the' water and pulled him out. James Eggo , president of the Life Cocoa Co. , of Omaha , was in our city last Saturday and tells us that his Life Cocoa is having a tremenduous sale in Omaha and is getting started in Nebraska towns , which promises a flattering suc cess. We have tried a sample can of this Life Cocoa and found it a delicious drink. We prefer it to tea or coffee and it is not more expensive than the latter. , OVERCROWDING. One of the Greatest Evils In the Rear ing of Domestic Poultry. There are many poultry keepers who provide their fowls with a large enough house , but have only sufficient laud to accommodate half or a quarter the number of fowls that are crowded on to it , while I have seen scores of cases where both houses and runs were of astonishingly small dimensions in fact , so small that the idea of keeping poultry in them was absurd , writes George Scott of Pudsey , Yorkshire , England , in American Poultry Journal. Now , it is impossible to state any hard and fast rules as regards the size of a poultry house or run requisite f ° r a certain number of fowls , but it may be roughly stated tluxt in building \ \ fowlhouse about five square feet of lloor space should be allowed for every adult fowl. This estimate is liable to modifications , according to the size of the fowls and the height of the house. In the * open fronted or fresh air type of poultry house half this amount of floor space will be sufficient for each fowl. In all cases it is advisable to give fowls as much liberty as possible , for they arc never at their best when kept in confinement. In many ca-es. how ever , this course is inadmissible , and under these circumstances at lenst fifty square feet of ground should be allowed for each fowl , and a breed should be kept which is best able to stand confinement , for the varieties differ considerably in this respect. Of course it is essential for fowls to be confined during the breeding season and , provided the runs are large enough or the number of fowls in each run small enough , all will be woll. but it is the packing and jamming of a large number of fowls into a small run that works such havoc among the birds and their progeny , overcrowding being responsible for move than half the diseases to which poultry are sub ject. Partridge Plymouth Roc'c Hen. The cut herewith shoAvs the female of a now variety which , unless all ! signs fail , is destined to become very popular. It is the Partridge Plymouth . Rock. This variety of. the Rock is just the Kruno in every respect as the Barred -variety , excepting that the < feathers have the markings of the Partridge Cochin , which many persons contend is the most beautiful plumage j seen on any domestic fowls. ; A Rat Exterminator. ' A subscriber of Reliable Poultry Journal suggests the following to rid the premises- rats : Mike a small tin trough closed at one end. Insert this trough , closed end first. ii tlie rat hole , leaving the other oi.I exposed. Pour about a tcJispoouful of chlorkle of r I- phur or .sulphuric acid into the trough , then three or four tea.spotmfuls of am monia water and stop tu ! hole up with a rag or anything that is convenient. Await results with a stick. The ruts will run ont'of the hole in about ten seconds after the operation in a very tired condition. They are easily , killed , as they cannot run either fast or far after the dose.

(5) CHI IN LIFE a I 'fc ' BY USING ' > LIFE COCOA is a NUTRITIVE AND DIGESTIVE PERFECT PURE FOOD BEVERAGE and is a compound of Chocolate Essence , Malt , Hops and -Kola K"ut andis highly recommended by doctors1 where tea and coffee are prohibited. A family may be starved \vhile bein r over-fed , if the foods are indigestible or unsuitable. Such foods are not assimilated , and they not.only fail to supply nutriment but cause indigestion and poison the system , starving the nerve centres and causing depression , lan- gour , anajmia , and untold suffering. if , instead of rushing to drugs and stimulants to counteract these results , the housewife would provide a sure and safe prevent ive , and we say unhestatingly the SAVIOUR is LIFE COCOA she would add enormously to the health and happiness of her household and obviate a vast amount of suffering and fai ure , for , after all , health happiness and success in life are convertible terms , and they ail depend on a properly nourished brain and body , or , in other words , on a proper choice of food. Such a preventive i * afforded in LIFE COCOA which is not only an exquisite beverage in itself , but is also a perfect-food , and is not only itself digestible , but insures the com plete digestion and healthy assimilation of the starchy foods that are almost invariably the cause of indigestion with its endless pro cession of pains and disorders. LIFE COCOA needs no advocate but the pUiin truth merit and merit alone and , therefore , \ve will let the truth speak , and at once produce the evidence LIFE COCOA which commands the at tention of physicians , hospitals and all thinking classes.
