SLEEPEE's Car riage works turned out
this week some cry fine work, in the
shape of an elegan; coach for Cline &
Stroup. 1t would be hard to conceive
how a person could find a better class
of work than is done at Sleeper's.
these gentlemen arc experienced
workmen aud fully know their bust
ness. Their work far cxcells eastern
work aud is being sold SO cheap that
all can buy il they SO desire 1t will
pay our people to see Slee pers before
sending east for buggies. !; will pay
10 ~patronize home for the reason that
you can get better work at just about
the same prices, and know just what
you are getting. Give them a call. The
institution Is certainly the equal Of
many SO called big concerns" in the
east, as The CHIEF can fully testify.
ONE day this week, through the
courtesy Of Mr.. c. C. Johnson, q CHIEF
reporter. took sshort but pleasant trip
towards the NJ rth and west. The corn
crop in that direction is looking e.
Decially fine, and promises a large
yield. The farmers are busy cutting
hay. while some are engaged in fall
blowing. Doc Boynton has a fine
ranch at the head Of Indian Creek,
which he is extensively improving,
and is now having a first-clsss dwell
ling house built. John Murray, OF this
city has charge Of the carpenter work.
and is doing a No. l job. Indian Creek
is one of the finest streams in the
county, fed from never failing streams,
and would afford a splendid water
power for machinery If utilized.
ANOTHER BRICK.-The oddfellows
Of Red Cloud are maturing plans
whereby they will soon erect a hand
some brick hall on their lot just north
Of the rink 25x10O feet two stories
high. Mr.. Mcdonald the architect is
now ut work on the plans and spcci6-
cations and we feel certain that the
the new hall will be a fine specimen
Of architecture and worthy Of Il place
in our growing city. The Oddfelloxs
lodge is in & very prosperous condition
and The CHEF is glad to learn that
they have the enterprise to erect
a new hall fitted up for the great work
that they are doing daily.
The probabilities are that the Moon
buildings will still go up, notwith-
standing the failure Of the contractor
to come up to the contract We
learn that other contractors are ready
to do the work. 1t is too bad to let
the buildings 90 by default now when
they are in demand. We have been
unable to learn just the exact reason
for the non-ful6llment Of the original
contract. We hope the trouble viii
be adjusted and the building boom go
on as anticipated. We hope Mr..
Yeiser, who has heen formost in get
ting the buildings planned viii be
also able to get them built this sea-
son after all.
THE CHIEF feels disposed 70 say
that it is now and has alvays beca
opposed to s-bonus or usurious rates Of
interest" Five per cent a month, OF
any other rate above what Is allowed
BY Law, is against the law aud should
not be countenanced- Taking sdvanr
