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.

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.

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. |

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.

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

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.

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.
