D. 0, Schooley, who is known to the
people of this city as "Coin Harvey"
on account of his radical silver views,
and who worked around this city for a
year and half prior to Jan. LIST, bios
SONS out as the manager of the Willard
entertainment. Mr.. Schooley is an en-
thusiastic striker for the show, and no
doubt, his personal magnetism drew
the crowd that attended the perform
ance on Monday night.
The Willard entertainment at the
opera house last Monday evening was
pleasant thing for the boys. The lat
ter, in fact, composed the show. The
members of the company, not being
able to furnish sufficient amusement,
the boys turned in to help them, by
whistling popular airs and keeping up
a comical run of applause. The adj
vance bills did not promise the best
kind of a show, and the people who
went, after seeing the bills, certainly
could not have been disappointed.
The will of Toures johnson, former
resident of Walnut Grove, had been ad-
mitted to probate. The deceased resid-

lily, he willed and bequeathed all of his
property, amounting to several lots on
which there are buildings, in Walnut
Grove, to the only daughter of Mr.. Mel
son, Julia Helena Nelson. The proper
ty is valued at from $500 to 81 900.
The backbone of the cold snap last
ing from Friday, Jan. 90, to Friday,
Jan. %, was broken on the afternoon
of the latter day, when the weather
moderated and the store windows on
the south side of Second street showed
some signs of casting off the heavy
frosting that covered them during the
week of the extraordinary cold wealth
er. The thermometer ranged from l to
50 degrees below zero during the week
and the oldest inhabitant was obliged
to go back to the buffalo days in order
to find weather that equaled it,
AS stated in another column the ST..
Louis passenger going east last Satur-
day was detained by blockade west
of Dawson. There was no snow the
day or night previous but a light wind
blew the snow into the cuts and made
it necessary to have them opened by
the snow pillow. The storms during this
winter have been exceptionally severe
on the st. Louis, all coming from the
right direction to fill in the cuts in a
few hours blow. The train went
through Redwood at about one o'clock
Sunday morning.
