Nix. A. J. KINNEY has just finished

that lhere are 622 persons betweer
the ages Of five and twenty-one year,
in Red Cloud.
II. A.. WATSON has been appointed

cil. II. A. will have a big job on hi,
hands If he gets all OF the streets re-
paired that should be during the mex,
year.

and staid young men Of Red Cloud
nd holding a trustworthy position in
n ofthe National Banks there, wa,
IN town Thursday. He is an old time
friend OF ye editor.-Indianola Times
The city council failed TO reappcin,
Harry Pond as marshal, although the
business men presented a petition to
that body for his reappointment. Mr.
Pond made a good officer and THE
CHIEF is sorry to lose him from the
place.
ACCORDING to the late school census
ION the plan that Hastings bases her
population) Red Cloud must have
200 inhabitants today. On the basis
Of five children to every voter Red
Cloud has certainly grown nearly 400
in the last year. And still we boom.
IT looks very dubious just now as 10
whether the C. n. X. Is. w. railway
company will be prepared to get the
right of way and get to grading their
road bed bv May !, 1886. as per con-
tract. However. We still have hopes
as Mr.. Wassam says the road will be
built.
lT is to be hoped that the city coun-
Gil Will reconsider their action in
reference 10 the rejection Of the Cedar
Street sidewalk. 1t IS decidedly a bad
policy TO reject sidewalk petitions
when they are needed as bad rs they
are i'm Red Cloud. Let us haye all the
sidewalks possible.
JOHN FULTON Is getting to he the
most influential man i'm the eastern
part of the county, and in order to give

state that at the school meeting he was
elected one of the sch Dol board and the
following day was elected city dad and
became the happy dad of a boy pre-
scented 10y his wife.-Riverton Enter

THE CHIEF hopes that tn, new city
council will see to It that We have
street lamps. Al lesst there should be
lamps put mp on Webster street to the
depot, and if possible on each of the
following n Second. third,
fourth, fifth an sixth. The cost Of
lamps would not he a great am ,unt.
The gasoline could be purchased 10y
the city at small per cen, per gallon.
and by so doing would secure a good
and substantial light. Let Us have
more light.
RoY HUTCHINSON, well known to our
citizens, was the lucky fellow that
