the drug business in that city and
known to many citizens of this city,
was an arrival in the city yesterday
and is greatly surprised to see the

made. Mr.. Ewing has not visited
here for several years and he cannot
get over the progress the city has
made. In talking to a Sentinel man

fact now than ever before. Your fruit

Only Rival.

Fremont, Nebraska. has the only
known rival of Grand Junction s
street railway system The only diff
ference in the two lines is that the
motive power of the Fremont system
is a dilapidated old mule, while that
of the Grand Junction system is an
old bob-tail ly-bitten horse We
have patronized both of them in the
past and know whereof we speak. We
met William E. Evenson of James
vile, Wisconsin, and in the course of
conversation he said:
Il was in Fremont ON my way out
to Colorado, and had a most peculiar
experience. AS l alighted from the
F., & M. V. train l saw street
car with mule attachment standing
near by, and as it appeared to be the
only conveyance to take me to the
business district, | boarded the car
and took seat. No one appeared
upon the scene for fully half an hour
Then a man IN blue jeans and straw
hat of ancient aspect poked his head
in the door and inquired:
want to go up town. stranger?"
''That is my DESIRE" l replied
Well, take the whip and hit the
old mule crack and you'll get there
all right. The track ends right near
the center of the business parts and
the critter'll stop when he comes to
the end of the line. -
Don't they have any drivers on
this line.
"Nope, That is ter say they don't
alters have one when he gets sick. -
How do they get their money out
of it. :"
'Most folks is honest enough to
drop a nickle in the slot, and them as
aint get their ride for nuthin' -
Il dropped nickle in the box. hit
the old mule crack with the whip
and arrived in the business district in
due time without further difficulty. -

W. H. Moreland, of Schiele Broth
ers and Moreland, is in the city.
Whenever Bill Moreland comes to
town. there is sort of new air and
life takes on. He is full of magnet
ism, as an electric wire. if that is
good simile. not knowing whether
electric wires have magnetism, but
anyway he is the sort of man one likes
to meet. The sunny side of life is
the side to which he turns and while
sympathetic for misfortune, his own
personality drives dull care away.
Mr. Moreland sells the famous Cor
dove cigar. one of the best brands on
the market. Its advertisement ap-
pears in the Sentinel every day in the
year and it is general ly sold.
At the meeting of the Peach Day
executive committee it was decided to
hold Broncho Busting contest. For
this contest the committee will hang
up two very handsome medals. One
of them will be solid gold medal
for the first prize, costing in the
neighborhood of fifty dollars and the
other will be handsome silver med
al. bearing the same in scription as
the gold medal and to be of value to
exceed twenty dollars. These medals
will be made artistically and will be
