The place to buy furniture, is
where you can buy the best goods
for the least money. To satisfy
yourself, just call on ". L. Haines,
three doors west Of the Holland House.
He has a fine line of furniture: New
goods arriving every day.

that Red Cloud and the people of
Webster and neigbboring counties in
Kansas will join with us, and proper
ly observe the day set aside, for the
purpose Of doing honor to our dead
heroes.

Some smart Alec has suggested to
the board of supervisors that they
try to reopen the long-settled B. &

case except . s~tupendous law suit and
a mess of attorney fees. The case has
been settled satisfactory once. Why
not leave it alone?
Mr.. Jos. Grandstaf, one Of the
