The u. p. Co. have nearly
completed a neat frame building
on North street, between the tracks,
for the storing of oil, a lubricator

who is said to have gone from here
TO Rapid City, Dakota Ty., then to
Central City, same territory, and not

Monday evening Mrs. Colby

the impartial suflrsgists OF the

-Chas. Rudst, of Norfolk, was
in the city Saturday. He says that
about two weeks ago work had
ceased on the road from Norfolk to

they were employing all the men
and teams obtainable, and were

the county. In twenty acres there
are probably not half a dozen miss

bushels to the acre. Not bad in

facilities for handling this product,
but they do say that nothing has
been made by them the last few
weeks.
Our neighboring county of
Boone, according to the report of
the grand jury-no indictments
found-is a pretty moral commun-

"A Thanksgiving dinner that an

only as disagreeable incidents OF
the past.
-Messrs. Snider & Wilson of |

ships ten cars a day. Hay is now
being sent east, and commands $3.50 |
to $3.50 a ton on the track. Ii is
said that all the spare hay within
twelve miles of Schuyler has been
purchased by dealers.
In the advertisement of sale of
the Jaisli Bros. it was stated that
there would be a boat on the Loup
for those who wished to cross from
Monroe. Several complaints have
been made to us that there was no
boat there, when there were quite a
