During the day he casually learned that
the German had about thirty dollars in
cash. This he borrowed and gave him
the usual check rs security until he
could get weat. From this he purchas-
ell two tickets Ia Bloomington, where
the TWO repaired to a hotel. In due
time the employer o. WAS missing and
the German was down with the blues,
and when asked what vas the matter,
told his story. Four travelling ME-

S. n. RICHMOND, living in Line pre-
cinct, recently had occasion TO take
out Of ground some box-elder posts
that had been in the ground sever
years. and what was remarkable about
the matter the posts were as sound as
when they we're first set in the ground.
He further says that on the old Thom-
as Kennedy farm, on Walnut Creek
bOx-elder posts were taken from the
ground in a perfect state that had been
in the ground for twelve years. This
is a matter of considerable interest to
the farmers of Nebraska. where timber
is scarce for fencing purposes. They

ARRANGEMENTS have been made to
hold "A county fair this year again.
The CHEF hopes and urges the peo-
pie ot Webster county to take hold OF
this enterprise and help the managers
make it u genuine success. A county
fair is OF incaicuable benefit to the
farmers and all classes. Here it is that
the farmer Is able to see what improve
ment has been m tde in raising corn,
vegetables. etc: here it is that stock
men and farmers see the great I'M
provements in all grades of cattle,
horses, etc. and again, it is the place
where all kinds of fancy work, etc, is
displayed for the benefit % the ladies.
\ county fair is a great advantage to
any county and should be well sup
ported and patronized by the people.
Let every man, woman land child be.
gin to talk up the county fair, and
keep talking it from now until it Is
I over. and each II make Il special eff
fort to have something to exhibit.
Don t forget it.

On Monday afternoon occurred the
annual school meeting for this dis
trict. 1t was decided that a tax levy
of l6 mills on the dollar be made for
the purpose of defraying the expenses
of the next school year. After the
routine business had been dispensed
with, the election of two directors took
place, which resulted in the selection
of A. J. Kenney and d. B. Spanogle for
three years each. The meeting then
adjourned to meet at the courthouse
on Monday, May 5, for the purpose Of
looking into the matter of establishing
a school building in the south part of
the city, as requested by the citizens Of
that part of the school district. In
structions were given the board to find
a suitable location for such a building,
aud a place best adapted to the wants
of the people. This is a move in the
right direction and w are glad to learn
that steps have been taken for the
erection of school house in that end
of town.

and finally the date was fixed for Satur-

ton of the brethren from Hastings
came down and assisted the Red Cloud
boys in the institution of Cyrene Com
mandry. Several applicants were
ready, and the vari Gus degrees of
Knighthood were conferred upon them.
The ~initiatOry ceremonies tOOkthe bet

dates expressed themselves as being
highly pleased with the work. THE
CHIEF hopes that the ~Commandry will

fit to its members. The Hastings BOYS
were met at the depot by the Red
Cloud Cornet Band and escorted up

We again feel like calling the atteo-
ton of the people to Arbor Day, feel
ing as We do that it is one of the most
important holidays that We have in
the state, from the fact that it directly
interests every property owner in the
state who has the enterprise and NOR
al worth to care for and beautify his
home. Trees-both fruit and Orna-
should be set out, and in the
years to come we will moi be sorry that
We did so, when we behold the goodly
etfet they will have produced a few
years hence. Then, let every person
make it his or her duty to procure
trees of some sort and set them out
carefully so that they will be sure to
grow. A little money spent 10Y will be
worth hundreds of dollars to any resi-
dence or farm property ten years from
this date. Do not say that there is
plenty of time to do this, and wait I'M
til a more convenient time, but do it
now without fail. 1t is indeed a worry
important thing and We do hope the
people will not pass the day idly by
without doing their duty.
