The Masonic fraternity held a
very interesting meeting Tuesday
evening and night in Valentine. It
was their regular meeting night
and they had five candidates for
initiation.
J. A. Councilor , Dr. W. R.
Bebout , J3. H. Dooley and C. J.
Anderson of Rosebud , and Gus
Rothleutner of Kilgpre were ini
tiated into the mysteries of free
masonry.
D. Bray , J. H. Scriven and W.
A , Bonser were also present from
Rosebud and John H. Neiss was
over from his ranch. Mr. Mc
Millan of Chadron arrived on the
evening train and visited the lodge.
The newly consecrated Bishop
Geo. A. Beecher , who is the grand
chaplain of Nebraska of the Ma
sonic fraternity , made his visit to
Valentine upon this occasion and
addressed the lodge , and at 7:30 :
p. m. , held'services in St. John's
church , to which everybody was
invited and the church was crowd
ed , the Masons attending in a
body.
Excellent music was furnished
by the choir and the bishop de
livered an excellent sermon after
which an informal reception was
held in the rectory for the people
to meet the bishop. The ladies of
the Episcopal church had coffee a
steaming and soon everybody who
waited were served with coifee
and cake , the kind for which they
are famous , and we might add that s
St. John's church of Valentine has
made a very enviable reputation
among the citizens of this com
munity and is a popular church to
attend , ideally located on Main
- street , and with an invitation to
the public to attend all their meet-
n
ings. . _
Wm. Rector and Alf Bradley
were arrested last week under the
compulsory school attendance P
statute for failure to send their
boys , Harry Rector and Frank
Bradley , to school. Judge Quigley - Ptr
ley fined them § 25 each and sus hi
pended sentence on trial of 14
fa
weeks during which time these
th
boys may remit the fine by at- ' thV
tending school. We have been
asked to mention this matter as a
warning to other parents whose
children are out of school and to
call public attention to the fact of .
to
there being a statute of compulsory
cr
school attendance.
Herman and Willie Dittmer
came to town Tuesday from the st
German Settlement and started on
a trip to Southern Alabama'where
their father , Chris Dittmer , bought
C
a farm of 120 acres last winter.
th
The boys are going to work on
the farm and if they find con tu
ditions favorable the famiiy will
follow. They're looking for a av
warmer climate and think they've be
found a place they like. The Pi
farm has considerable timber on ne
it and a small house at only § 20 to :
per'acre and it seems to be cheap
if the soil is good. Henry Det-
gen accompanied the boys to Oma-
ha and says he may go farther i
with lliem and take a look at the
Sunny South.

Henry Murphy and son , Frank , w.
drove up from their ranch in the
ea
south part of the county yester- fir
day and are transacting business fr
in town. We acknowledge a.pleasso
ant afternoon with them yesterat
day. It's an inspiration to meet sp
and converse with this old veteran w
of the west and his many friends tir
here are glad to find him in town sc
for a day or two. Mr. Murphy in
owns a good ranch south of the pr
Loup 15 miles of

exerted by gases when they com

There is no sport so exhiliarat-

In testimony whereof our high
school students and teachers set
their hand and seal. They can al
so testify that it is sometimes
risky and accidents when they oc
cur are accepted , with a philosoph
ic air.

Fire broke out Monday in the
City hotel owned by E. D.
Johota'and partly destroyed thereof
roof , but prompt action by the
ire department soon had the
3ames subdued and the damage
tvas confined principally to the
iast end at the top and roof. At
irst the water hose seemed to be
frozen up or stopped up from
some cause and another hose was
ittached to the hydrant which re F
sponded promptly and the fire
tvas ; soon under control. Valen-
iine citizens always rush to the
OL
scene of a fire and work faithfully
subduing a fire and upon their
orompt response we have the
greatest security for effectual de-
rense. Likewise , our government
