One of the most enjoyable parties ever
held in Medicine Lodge. was that given by
Henry Kelly on last Thursday evening.
Mrs. D. VanSlyke kindly rendered the use
of her dining room for the young people
to dance in, after which all sat down to
a bountiful repast at the residence of Mrs.
Talliaferro. 1t was feast of plenty, and
shows that Mrs. I. understands the cult
nary art to perfection. The patty was a
success in every particular.

The poor cattle seem destined to 90
without food great deal of the time.
This morning the ground is covered with
snow to the depth of three inches, and OF
course stock can get nothing to eat, ex-
cept what is fed to them. 1t was feared
by old stock men that we would have our
winter in February and March, and their
predictions seem about to be verified. Let
us hope for the best, however.

The INDEX will be located under its own

one door north OF Standlford Youmans, &

better than paying such enormous rentals
as are demanded In this town.
