Kyle.
James Siebert is one of the happiest
men in Trego, since he has his windmill
up. G. W. Kessler assisted in its erection
last Saturday.
John Ebeling and Charles Bamberg,
with their witnesses, we're before the land
Office officials, of Wa-Keeney, last week,
making final proof.
Six emigrant wagons we're halted here
Sunday night, and then continued their
eastward journey the next morning. The
outfit was well supplied with horses.
A. P. Hull, of Rock Island, ILL.,, was
shown over large portion of surround
ing country by L. F. Jones. Mr.. Hull
came to judge of the country for himself.
"Uncle" VIM. Hastings, of 81 ranch, and
d. Webster, of Al ranch, registered at the
hotel on Monday. They believe in pat
ronizing home institutions whenever OPP
portunity offers.
Thursday morning opened with snow
storm, and the clouds disposed of un-
numbered flakes before nOon-time when
the storm ceased. A cold, raw breeze
prevailed the remainder of the day.
The following persons, mostly in search
of land, stopped at the hotel on Tuesday:
z. G. Frilt, Washington, Kan; J. B.
White, Catawba, No.; Geo. M. Jones,
Millbrook, Kan; VIM. Knight, Fairport,
Kan, and FL. Eblitz, Kansas City.
A heavy frost Tuesday morning did
much damage to early vegetables, and in
some cases the gardens will need replant-
ing. Early potatoes, beans and grape
vines on the low lands we're severely hurt,
and even the poison oak withered from
the same cause.
Clouds have lowered over us most of
the past week, and bestowed small showers
every few days. There are yet a few
persons who fear we may have such
dry spell as to turn immigration eastward
again. With these few exceptions, others
are quite hopeful.
OF the many strangers whom Chas.
Peterson has met in his extensive bust
ness career, It's doubted if any have
caused him to be more embarrassed than
the little nine-pound son and heir which
arrived last Saturday. The fatherly
duties, though new, will be cheerfully
assumed.
Society goers are smiling at the expense
Of little lady who tried to deceive a
gentleman as to the genuineness of a
Pearl, and in turn found herself deluded
when she vainly tried to learn from friends
and newspapers the particulars of great
bridge disaster. Moral.-Two can de-
ceive as well as one.
The railroad painters finished their
work the latter part of last week. Depo
property is improved by their labors as
far as preserving the wood from decay,
but the company had an eye for durabil-
ity and cheapness only-not beauty. All
outside woodwork within reach of pencil
or knife has been sanded.
Rev. Dodge, of Lane county, preached
at the school house last Sabbath morning,
from Luke 8:18, 'Take heed, therefore,
how ye hear" The attendance was small,
owing to the rumor that, as he had not
arrived at the hotel Saturday evening, he
probably would not meet his appoint
ment Sunday morning. Those who
listened to the discourse enjoyed it much,
as it was both spiritual and practical.
r. o. Elting and wife, of Ness county,
stopped at the hotel on Tuesday, intend
ing to soon proceed on their journey to
distant town. One of their mules was
taken sick that afternoon, and, at this
writing, it is feared will not recover.
Though an entire stranger to Mr.. Elting,
Mr.. Green left his horse for them to use
in case the mule should die. Such kind
ness warns the hearts of many besides the
recipient.
Committees have been appointed by the
G. A. r and w. r G. societies, of this
place, to prepare an appropriate program
for memorial services on Decoration day,
