NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that Deo-
pie are being continually robbed by
street fakirs and gamblers, others are
always ready to be taken in. One day
this week several people were "scooped
in" by one of these fakirs to the tune
of several dollars. The best way is to
leave them alone and save your money

ORR friend, Barney Meters, who has
been peddling milk to our citizens.
Withdrew from the business on Sun
day. on account Of having so much
business on the farm. He has nearly
100 acres of corn planted, and this to-
gether with the other duties of the
farm. called for his personal attention.
and consequently it became necessary
for him to stop his milk wagon. He
will, however, resume in September.
THE work OF osualizing the assess
ment of the county IS n tedious Job
and requires n great deal of work on
behalf of the commissioners. They
have been in session fifteen days, do
ing nothing else but egualizing. 1t
would seem that there should be some
understanding between the assessors of
the various precincts so that the task
of equalizing would be lessened, and
at the same time more satisfactory to
the people in general.
THE latest news from the Pat Berry
neighborhood, is to the effect that Mrs.
whom Berry assaulted is
living in a precariOus condition, and
hut little hope is entertained for her
recovery by her friends. Berry is still
at large. 1t would seem only just that
every effort possible should be put
forth for his arrest, and if guilty. and
there seems to be but little doubt of
that, he should be properly punished
for this dastardly crlme.
The stock of harness formerly be-
longing to o. G. Roberts, who recently
failed has had a number of owners re-
Gently. 1t has been sold, bought in,
replevined, advertised for sale and re-
plevied again, until it is somewhat diff
ficult to tell which from t'other. The
last act in the case is another replevin
suit brought about by o. G. Roberts,
who now holds the winning card. The
next act in the drama is to be enacted
at some future day, We presume.
DoN'r forget that Red Cloud will
have one of the largest 4th of July Gel
ebrations in Western Nebraska. Bear
it in mind and make arrangements
to be here. The Hon. Thomas Apple
get, of Johnson county, a noted ora
tor, will address the people on that oc-
casion. In the evening there will
be a grand display of fireworks, and
in fact arrangements are being made
TO have an immense time. The eagle
will scream to the full extent Of its
lungs.

thanks for some fine butter. This in

making fine butter. They have lately
increased their facilities for manufac-
ture of butter, having put in a new en-
