Oilman and party arrived last Thursday to indulge a few weeks in the popular sport. They are now installed in Mr. Oilman's house at the mill. Grant Boyer brought to this of fice yesterday morning S new po tatoes , weighing 4 pounds , raised at his place south of the passenger depot. Potatoes are fine this year. Thacher base ball boys came up last Saturday and played with part of he Valentine nine. It was a practice game and in three innings and two for Valentine made the scorce look like this : 11 to tt for Thacher. A socialist speaker gave some talks in front of Chapman's last week. He had copies of a social ist paper which he distributed among the crowd and a small book on socia lism which he sold for 25 cents. The passenger from the east was 12 hours late Monday morning , owing to a cloudbust which washed out about 900 feet of track be tween Norfolk and Stanton. Be tween 5 and G inches of rain fell in less than three hours. The normal students were to have a picnic at the creek Satur day afternoon but the threatening weather prevented , so nothing daunted they stayed at the court house and made a delightful affair of it despite the conditions. Last week , a few days after the Fourth , County Assessor Young completed his work of recapitula ting the deputy assessors' sched ules for this year and retired to his ranch where he will be kept haying the next few months. Mrs. H. A. McQuade has leased the Cody railroad eating house and took possession last week , though she still conducts the eating bouse here for the railroad men and ex pects to leave the family here and will look after this by making oc casional trips home. Mark D. Qyphers and wife re turned home from the East last Thursday night , and Friday night the boys collected a lot of tin pans and gave them a charivari. Wouldn't it be nicer and more ap propriate to give them a serenade , sing some songs and play some music ? That would be the genteel way. The other borders on ruf fianism. Welcome home , Mark , and may you and your lady live long and prosper. Mrs. Wm. Erickson and Mrs. J. M. Rjil.\a are in town today. The old settlers reunion of Cher ry and Keya Paha counties will be held at Sparks , Neb. , August 28 and 29. Watch for program later. 27 3 COMMITTEE. On the inside pages of this pa per will be found the democratic platform , brief sketches of WJ. . Bryan and the democratic conven tion at Denver. * Allen Benson returned recently from a six months trip through the southern states and South America where he spent a pleasant winter and spring. He drove in from Arabia Saturday and spent Sunday in town. We enjoyed a pleasant afternoon hearing Allen tell of his experiences in South America. M. P. Jordan w : in town Mon day and inserted a big advertise ment in this paper for putting up 1,000 tons of hay for which he of fers § 1.65 per ton , and also offers to contract for baling and hauling the same to Arabia. This seems to be a good opening for parties having haying outfits and a summer's job awaits them which may last well into the fall. See his advertisement elsewhere in this paper. A. M. Morrissey returned on the belated passenger Monday from Denver where he attended the democratic national conven tion as a delegate from the Sixth district of Nebraska. He reports an enjoyable time and gives a good account of the great convention which he says was very enthus iastic and harmonious throughout. Mr. Morrissey is one of the com mittee selected to ollicially notify the vice president of his nomina tion. GraM Boyer came down Tues day from Cody where he has been building a house for W. H. Carter. It is a good substantial building that will make a fine home when completed. It is being plastered now and Orant will go back to finish it up. The carpenter work was begun June 5th and we think the work has been pushed along to get ready for plastering so soon with only two helpers. Mr. Boy er is a good worker and does good work. We cheerfully recommend him. A telegram announcing the death of Mrs. Mary McGuane at West Point Wednesday morning came as a shock to the relatives and friends at Valentine. Mrs , Mc Guane is a step-mother to Mrs. James Smith and Mrs. Bartley White. She had been making her home until about ten weeks ago with Mrs. Martin Christensen who is a daughter of Mrs. White , and went down to West Point to spend a few weeks. She was growing old and recently her health had not been very good but the folks had no notice of her illness rec- # ently. The funeral was held to day at the Catholic church at 10:30. : Last Saturday L. E. Garlock , formerly proprietor of the Valen tine House , purchased the Home Bakery business of Miss Wren Donoher and took possession im- mediatly. The business was start ed in our city by E. H. Bohle several - ' eral years ago and after conduct ing it for a couple of years sold to Miss Wren Donoher who has since conducted the business and enjoyed a large patronage. The Home Bakery has always been a popular place since the beginning ' and is the only all night restaur ant in town. The Donoher sisters formerly conducted the hotel which bears their name and was known from Omaha to the Black Hills as a popular place to spend i a Sunday or a few days visit while ! enjoying a vacation at Valentine. Mr. Garlock expects to conduct the business or the Home Bakery ! along the same lines as it has been run in the past and we bespeak for him the gofld will and wishes of the public and assure them the ' same courteous treatment that has made the Home Bakery a popular plane.

The Ladies' Aid sncitey of the Presbyterian church is busy this week preparing to stage the re markable comedy. "The Union Depot for a Day , " some time next week. The cast includes most of the young people in town and promises to be one of the most laughable effects of the season. The comedy is unique in its ar rangement and will be something new in the usual routine of the presentation.of such plays. Watch for further announcements. , * . Monday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Sparks the Hall street young ladies entertain ed in honor of the Misses Water- house at a lawn i'cte which was probably the most delightful social function ever given in this city. The evening was perfect , and around the larg-i and luxuriant lawn Japanese lanterns were strung. Kustic seats , chairs and rugs were placed in coxy nooks and every possible luxury was at the disposal of the guests who were about TO in number. Punch was served throughout the eve ning and two little gypsy queens "who were especially imported fro m Egypt , " revealed the future to the anxiety of some and the merriment of others. As the evening progressed ice cream and cake were served , following which were some pleasing dances on the wide porch , clo-sing with ever charming Virginia Keel. The Hall street girls , and particularly Miss Wade , may feel pleased an l gratified with the success of so de lightful and entertainment.
