Prosperity is at the front door lad

Prosperity is at the front door lad
ened with 5he fruits of a bountiful sea-
son. She will step in presently and

The district court has sanctioned
the adoption by CLANCY D. and Clara
E. Marshall of little Mary Coles. The

his daughters legal adoption. She
is a pretty, bright little child, and
cant fail to add brightness to the
home of the foster parents.
There will be sociable at the res
idence of F. L. .Nickers onesouth of the
Great Northern railroad on Saturday

OF Veterans and their ladies. Coffee

w. S. Dean is suffering from a
mild case of typhoid fever. His hosts
of friends rejoice in the medical opin-
ion that he will not be confined to his
house many days. 1t was only just a
a year year ago that he had quite a
severe and tedious run of the same
disease. Lu Kells suggests that he
ought to, take his fevers on the cash
down, instead of the three falls plan,
and be done with it.
A surprise party at the residence of
F. L. Nickerson last Saturday after
noon, August 14th, the occasion being
the Gath birthday of Mrs. F. Nicker-
son. About fifteen of her lady friends
took the house by storm, despite the
rain. They took plenty of ice cream
and cake and good time was had
until 10 o'clock, when they left for
home. She received a goodly number
of presents to remind her of the occa-
sion.
Last year the Great Northern road
carried 100000 bushels of wheat,
and this year it confidently expects to
carry 90, 600, 900 an increase of thirty
percent. To that end it is making
great preparations in getting its, roll
ing stock and track in prime order.
At present it is hauling an enormous
amount of range stock eastward, sew
eral fast trains going through daily.
The road never had an equal volume
of business at this season of the year,
and confidently expects material in
crease.
Jack has disappeared, and it is
feared that he is the victim of foul play.
He was very active and intelligent
dog, full of pretty tricks and cute
ways. He was great pet at the Par
cher livery stable, and his owner and
and the attaches sincerely mourn his
taking off. He followed the
carry-al down to the Abner Irish
sociable on Thursday last, and was
absent on the return trip. But he
never arrived at the stable. Poison
is the probable solution of his mys-
terious disappearance.
w. D. Townsend and Chan Marsh
all have purchased the McCracken
property on the east side of Main-st,
between Fourth and Fifth, now occu-
pied by E. G. TAFT & Co., and twenty
two feet of the Fisher lot just north,
and will at once proceed with the erec-
tion of a good frame building 44xlOO.
The building now on the north lot will
be used, SO far as it is available. The
building will be devoted to the Agri-
Machinery business, and will
be decided improvement to that part
of Main-st.. The sums paid were: $1,000
the south twenty-five feet, including
the building and $500 for the north
feet, vacant.
