The dance at the roller rink last night

the fun should end so soon.
Thomas O'Briep, of Castalia, Charles

day, under an Indictment returned by
the last grand jury charging him with
selling liquor to an Indian, and he plead
guilty. The court fined him $500, and
administered a budget of good advice,

About a month ago Kahn & %. placed
a large fine coal and heating stove in
their show window, and at the same
time announced that the stove would be
drawn by some lucky number, and that
each purchaser of five dollars worth of
goods for cash would be entitled to a
ticket. Yesterday the drawing came off
and Jno. r. NJ. Pierce, of Knox county,
Neb., proved to be the lucky man and
he is now the owner of q handsome
base burner.
In the Press and Dakotaian of the
Oath of October appeared a paragraph
announcing (omitting names) that e
young man representing an Omaha cl-
gar house had married a levee girl. 70.
day a young man who represents an
Omaha Cigar house appeared and enter
ed q denial of the statement. He says
it was pure fiction, at least 30 far as he
was concerned, and We have found no
evidence to the contrary excepting in
common rumor, which may have been
based upon malicious intent or a dispo-
sition to perpetrate a serious practical
joke.

The old.smen and the kids shot off
their score in the jungles of Nebraska
yesterday,and when the score was count
ed up last night it stood: Old men,
800; kids, 30s. Each quail counted three
and each rabbit five. The kids killed
fifty-two quail and sixteen rabbits, and
the old men forty-two quail and thirty
three rabbits, winning the supper at
Kramer's by n point. There is a story
ahoat, malicious, perhaps, that the old
men purchased some rabbits from a Ne
braska granger, but this statement lacks
confirmation. AS they possess excellent
records for honesty and veracity We hard
ly give passing thought to the rumor,
To.dey's weather is delusive. 1t is
balmy and spring like, with . soft moist
wind blowing from the south and q sort
of a summe clothes tinge to the atmos-
phere. In the ten6erfoot it may excite
visions of luxurious climatic indulgences
.-open windows, and coal fires dispensed
with. But the veteran sets his face
against such days. In the olden time
they were storm breeders, and a morning
like this morning was liable to bring o
blizzard along with the supper. Under
the improved weather arrangements
such results dc not occur as the invari-
able rule, still a spring like day at this
season of the year is accompanied by
misgivings.
