New HARNESS SpoP.-The brick build.
ing south OF the iireman's hall, known
us the CLANCY building is now occupied
by a full line Of harness, saddles, etc.
Jos. Fogle formerly Of Cowles having
bought tho stock OF Jake Miller and
added more thereto has located in that
building and is now ready for business.
We have a personal acquaintance with
Mr.. Fogle and know him to be as honest
as the day is long, and an experienced
harness maker. lie ia now increasing
his stock, and will no doubt do his
share Of the business in that line.
Observation-Disclosures morning at the
Catholic church occurred the
wedding Of Mr.. James Doyle and Miss
Agnes P~ostelwaite. The bride is q resi-.
dent Of Guide Rock and the groom is a
near resident OF that place. Father,
Quinn performed the ceremony most i'm.
pressively after which the worthy young
couple drove to the home OF the groom's
father, Thamas Doyle, nea Guide Rock.
At 6 p, m. an elegant supper was served
| and later the guests which exceeded one
hundred ia number, enjoyed q pleasant
dance. The newly welded couple are
| very popular in their communi ty, and
are said to DO refined young people OF
the highest merit.
The BRIDGE.-The signs have been
put on the big bridge, condemning it as
unsafe for travel. This 10 q pretty how.
do-you.do; a bridge that has been up
less than four years to be condemned as
unsafe; surely there is something rotten
in Denmark, especially SO, wherein tho
| ten years without q cents worth Of re.
pairs. There has been many rumors as
to fraudulent transactions in regard TO
the letting OF and construction Of this
great bridge, and now comes tho news
that it is unsafe, thought to mako every
individual tax payers hair stand up
The bridge committee should waste no
time in having the bridge repaired and
put in condition to travel over at once,
and hereafter, see that there ia no col.
fusion between bridge companies and
bridge committees to defraud tho tax
payers. The bridge cost $4,000 and
ought to be good.
CREAMERy.-During the last few
weeks numerous kicks have been com.
ing to this Office on account Of the failure
Of the Red Cloud creamery to make reg.
ular runs The CHIEF believes that the
parties who own it, and who received a
| fair sized donation from our citizens
should run the creamery just as they
agreed to Mt the time the donations were
mado. Creameries run in other places
and pay, why not in Red Cloud? For
instance, look at the creamery at Blue
Hill. Mr.. Mcbride started with limit
ed capital and has made money every
day and has done a good business, often
| churning 1900 to 1900 pounds OF butter
during the per day. There should
be an effort made to operate the cream.
cry from now on, by those who W it,
| Messrs Parker and Fulton or give some
one else a chance to do il. Red Cloud
is certainly entitled to have a good
creamery.
A CoMpARIsoN.-For a number of
years Webster county has been indulg-
ing in what is known as the supervisors
system. We have been handed the fol-
lowing figures in comparison OF the two
systems OF county government,
viz: Supervisors system and that
OF the commissioner system. How.
ever, we only show the annual OK.
