Early Saturday morning , be tween five and six o'clock , two freight trains , one loaded with stock and one with coal , tried to go in opposite directions on the same track a short distance below Merriinan with very poor success. Evidently someone had been careless in receiving or giving orders. We understand the train men were not to blame. One train consisting of nine cars of stock was going east , the other , oming west. When the engines struck , the speed did not exceed ight or ten miles an hour. One engine crew jumped and the other stayed on the engine. Fortunate ly none of either crew were hurt. Something like ten head of cat- ile were killed ; both engines , al- ; hough they remained on the track , were badly used. Only three cars were oil : the track. The crack it self was damaged very slightly. While the damage to rolling- stock and track did not seem great yet it is probable that somebody's arelessnes cost the company in : he neighborhood of three thous and dollars. The engine men were Slater and Frederickson , Sharrer and Morris. The conductors , Fowler and Mc- Kinley. Chadron Journal. \ Wlim to Advertise. There's nothing oh earth so mysteriously funny as an adver tisement. The prime , first and last , and all-the-time objects of an advertisement is to draw custom , [ t is not and never will be , design ed for any other purpose. It often occurs that a merchant waits till the busy season comes and his store is so full of custom ers that he can't get his hat off , bhen he rushes to his printer and goes in for advertising. When the dull season gets along and there is none , trade and he wants to sell his goods so bad he can't pay his rent , he stops advertising. There are times when you could n't stop people from buying every thing in the store if you planted a cannon behind the door , and that's the time when the advertisement is sent out on its holy mission. It makes light work for adver tising , for a chalk sign on the sidewalk could do all that was needed , and a half-holiday six days in a week ; but who wants to favor an advertisement ? They are built to do hard work , and should be sent out in dull days , when a customer has to be knocked down with hard facts , and kicked insensible with bankrupt reductions , and dragged in with irresistible slaughter of prices , be fore he will spend a cent. That's the end and aim of ad vertising , and if you ever open a store , don't try to get them to come when they are already stick ing out of the windows , but give them your advertisement right be tween the eyes in a dull season. The time to draw "trade is when you want business , and not when you have more business than you can tend to already. Humphrey Democrat. The enormous increase in the de mand for Storz Blue Ribbon Beer has forced the 'Story Brewinn Co. of Omaha to build a big addition to their Stock-house this fall. It will be equipped wtth the largest glass enameled tanks in the west. The Storz Brewing Co. is rapidly becoming the foremost brewery in the Trans-Mississippi states , due to the superior quality and delic ious flavor of their product merit always wins. Dr. Ayers , the Longpine dent ist , will be in Wood lake Dec. 3rd , when he will be glad to meet those wanting first class dental work. 413 We have on display in our window this week a nobby line of Gent's Furnishings in the way of Men's Wool Union Suits , at § 4 00 Men's Ribbed Union Suits 1 50 Men's Light Wool 2-Piece Suits 2 50 Men's Wool Eibbed 2-Piece Suits 2 25 Men's Wool Sweater Jackets 3 50 MenJs Cotton Sweater Jackets 1 50 Men s Wool Jersey Sweaters 2 25 to 3 00 Men's Fancy Wool Vests 4 25 4 ?

Resolved 1st ; That , in the death of Charles Pecldicord , Camp Xo. 1751 of the Modern Woodmen of America , of Valentine , JSTebr. , loses a faithful member hitherto associated with us in solemn com pact and in brotherly intercourse. Resolved 2nd ; That , in addition to the practical succor which it has been our sworn duty and our pres ent privilege to afford , we also recognize at this time our obliga tion of human sympathy- with Mrs. Nellie Peddicord and chil dren , in the midst of that grief which comes inevitably on the severance of the tender ties of dnslrip and affection , Resolved3rd ! : That a copy of these resolutions shall be sent to Mrs. Peddicord , that they shall be printed in each of our town pa pers and shall also be preserved in the minutes of our camp. J. Robert Beale. j Frank Brayton. f L. E. Shepard. ) Concerning Eilitors. A little boy in town was given ihe task by his father of writing an essay on editors the other day , and the following was the result of iis efforts : I don't know how people came to be in the world , 1 don't think God does , for he hain't got noth- to say about them and the edito rs in ttte Bible. I think the editor is one of the missing links you read of and stayed in the bushes until after the ilood , and then came out and wrote the whole thing up and has been here ever since. 1 don't think he ever dies. I never saw a dead one and never heard of one getting licked. Our paper is a mighty poor un ; ' the editor goes without underclothes - ! clothes all winter , don't wear no socks and paw hain't paid his sub scription for more than five years. If the editor makes a mistake he has to apologize for it , but if the doctor makes a mistake he buries it. If the editor makes one there is a lawsuit , swearing and the smell of sulphur , but if the doctor makes one there is a funeral , cut flowers and the smell of varnish. A doc tor can use a word a mile long without knowing what it means , but it the editor uses it he has to spell it. If the doctor goes to see i another man's wife he charges for it , but if the editor goes he gets a charge of buckshot. When the doctor gets drunk it's heart trouble when an editor gets drunk it's a. ' case of too much booze , and if he cjies it's a case of delirum tremens. Any old college can make a doctor. You can't make an editor ; he haste to be born.
