Harness Shop Changes Hands.

w. r. Golf, who has been Sara
toga's harness maker for several
years, has sold out his interest
III that business to Edwards
Bros, will shortly leave for his
old home in Michigan. He has
been influenced almost wholly to
take this step by the poor condi-
ton of his wife's health, she
being indisposed a good share of
the time. Mr.. and Mrs. Goff
have both won the respect and es-
TEEN of every one who has made
their acquaintance, and their
departure will be looked upon
with much regret by their many
friends.
W. G. and G.. w. Edwards. the
men who have Stepped into the
business, are the sons of J. G.
Edwards, lately deceased. The
boys are young men of upright
character and excellent habits,
and they deserve to succeed. 1t
is their intention to retain the
services of j. p. Meals, the ex-
pert saddle and to make a
specially of his fine, hand made,
hand stamped saddles. Mr..
Meals is certainly a fine workman,
aud Edwards Bros. are very fortu-
nate in securing his services.
The new firm starts out under the
most favorable conditions and
will no doubt build up a fine
trade and deserve the respect and
esteem Of the entire communi.

didacy of Hon. b. B. Brooks for
Governor, This has been expect
ed for some time, for it has been

Some Views Of New Orleans.

Although the following letter
was not written for publication,
parts of it are SO interesting thai
our readers will doubtless be glad
TO read them. The writer is w
L. Andrews, the youngest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. P. Andrews, of
this place, who left last week for
South America. It's dated at the
st. Charles Hotel, New Oneans.
and is in part as follows:
I'VE are here in New Orleans
at last, and it is the bummest
town / ever saw. The streets
are about three inches deep in
mud and the whole place smells
more like a hog pen than any
thing l can compare it to, and
you can bet / will get out of here
as soon as possible; but today is
Sunday, and you can't find ont
anything here today, SO | don't
know when we can get a boat,
I'VE expected it to be warm
here, but we have suffered more
from the cold here, and in Kan
a City, than we did up there
(meaning Saratoga,) all winter.
OF course it is not SO cold here,
but the atmosphere is SO damp
that ii just chills a person clear
through, and if you ever contem-
plate a trip down lere, be sure
and wear a fur overcoat and warm
socks, because they will come in
veiy handy.
well, we have had some exper-
fences already. There is a Span
ish man of var here, and we went
out to it. The officers were very
hospitable and showed us all over
the ship and explained how the
guns worked, and, in fact, told us
all about it as near as possible
for we could not understand what
they said but had to make signs.
Il will write you my experience
every day and if L get a chance
To mail it before L land will do
So. and if not, you will hear from
me just as soon as possible. AS
near as / can tell it will be two
weeks before we get to the end
Of our journey-but it may be
longer. We expect to make Cart

HIGH ROOM.

The scholars are now working
hard for the midyear examina-
tions.
Vacation is over and all the
pupils are back at school, ready
for hard work.
Dona and Charles McPhail en-
rolled in the High room on the
first Monday after the holidays.
The Civil government class are
studying the history of Wyoming
and they are getting along very
nicely.
Almost one half of our school
term is gone and it is hoped that
the next half will be of as much
benefit and interest as the first.
The high room is going to have
drill in writing twice a week for
the rest of the term as most of
the pupils need to learn how to
write better.
We had the pleasure of having
Miss Browns room in to sing
with us on Monday morning on
account of their room being Sc
cold and disagreeable.
The calendars are very scarce
this year but two of the schol.
ars brought up some and
hung them up on the wall which
we are very thankful for.
The pupils of the ninth grade
are studying diligently on the
Division of Greece, in their Gen.
eral History, and are 500 tc
have a final examination upon
that subject.
Although sickness has caused
low attendance in the other rooms
there is only one absent from the
High room, Blanche Little who
was unable to be with us but one
day so far this week.
Since the holidays there has
been a great change in the seat

Time Is Eternity.

Never a word is said.
But il trcmbles in the air,
And the truant voice has sped,
r. vibrate everywhere:
And perhaps, far Of in eternal years,
The echo may ring upoh our ears
Never are kind acts done,
To wipe the weeping eyes,
But liks the flashes of the sun.
They signal 20 the skies;
And up above. the angels read
How ~ have helped the sorer need.
Never a day is given,
But it tones the after years.
And it carries IN TO heaven
Its sunshine or its tears;
While the to. morrows stand and wait
The silent mutes BY the outer gate.
There is no end 20 the sky,
And the stars are everywhere.
And time ia eternity.
And the here IL over there;
For the common deeis OF the common day
Are ringing bells in the f~ar-aweyl

WEEKLY STOCK YARDS LETTER
South Omaha. Neh.. Jan 13.

Your correspondent has pre-
viously pointed out that one of
the indication of coming rising
values in livestock is in the dispo-
sition of farmers to raise highbred
stock.
This disposition has more rs-
Gently become apparent and is
now taking the form of associa-
tons of farmers having for their
main purpose the raising of the
standard Of livestock on the farms
of this great agricultural and live
stock territory of the United
States.
In the past few days such an
organization has been formed by
Platte county, Nebraska, farmers
and has established a set of prin-
ciples which will inure to the ben
eft not only of the members of
the association, but to the con-
umers This organization has
elected Henry Bargeman presi-
dent and w. Fl. Swartzley secre
tary. The postoffice address of
both of these officers is Columbus,
Neb.
The association will receive in
membership only those farmers
who are raising pure bred stock.
Each member will be assigned To
raise the breed which has been
his speciality, each farm will be
numbered and all of the market
ing of the stock will be done
through the association, not by in
dividua. members. 1t is reported
that three other similar associa-
tons have been formed in this
state, but their locations are not
known here
Such organizations, which will
naturally patronize the market
nearest them, will prove a strong
factor in breaking Chicago's con
troll of prices and will thus again
benefit the livestock raisers. The
operations of these associations
will certainly be worthy of study
by stock raisers and consumers
alike.
The Platte County Farmers in
stitute will be held at Columbus,
Neb., Jan. 30 and 30, and the sub
ject will probably receive full dis
cnssion there.
The South Omaha Livestock
Exchange appears likely to rescind
its rules adopted at the January
meeting. Theories do not always
produce beneficial results when
put into practice.
Concerning market conditions
at South Omaha, President. James
c. Dahlmau of the American Com
mission company, furnishes the
following: "Choice fat grades are
steady to strong and while short
fed and warmed up cattle find
slow sale, prices have not shown
any falling off. Fat l,250 to 1,400
10. steers sold at $40 to $3.50,
with "A top price of $50. The
bulk of fair TO good kinds have
brought S4.25 to "a 60, while the
warmed up grades brought SO %
to SO 80. The demand for COWS
has been good, the supply being
ehort. Prices for the best grades
are 10 to l5c. higher, fat COWS
selling for S3.25 to $3.50 and COM
mon grades 81 so to S3.l0.
Hog receipts have been lighter
than last week and prices are 15c.
higher, the top being $3.50 Sheep
receipts have been liberal and the
market shows weakness in conse.
quence. Good yearlings sold up
to "a so and uative lambs as high
Ms S5.75."

examination IN all four rooms
Tor the purpose of grading the
school more accurately and to
find the needs of each individual
pupil.
Mr.. Crawford was up to visit
us for a few moments again last
week, hut in that short time he
told US a very interesting legend
about being patient and showed
us how We should do our tasks
without murmuring.
The Professor shaved his mus.
tache off during the vacation.
When he came back to school the
children had some remarks to
make, such as this: "The wind
must have been blowing very
hard out in the country"
BE kind to one another" as
we look at this gentle little Bible
verse let US forget and forgive if
any wrong has been done us by
our schoolmates and remember to
be more kind. Let us not by
our thoughtlessness get any one
into trouble.
Mr.. Stearns has just begun
reading to the scholars, the in
teresting story, The Man with.
out a Country" The story was
written by Edward Everett Hale,
who is now chaplain of the q. S.
Senate. We enjoy the story very
much as we do all stories that are
selected for our hearing.
We have started our last half
of the years work. We could
be compared to race horses com.
ing in on the home stretch. Get
all that a be gotten from the
work and our teacher will be sat-
isfied, the school board will be
satisfied, u parents will be salts
fed and we will have nothing to
regret.
GRAMMAR ROOM.
Howard Estey has returned af-
ter several days sickness.
Alex. Duvall has been quite sick
for two weeks but is slowly recov-
ering.
Carrie Button has been absent
this week on account of diphther-
ia in the family.
Our school has been saddened
by the death of the little sister of
two of u pupils.
There has been a great deal of
sickness in the Grammar grade
during the last week.
MI. Crawford visited the Gram
mar grade last Tuesday and told
the children a story of Indian
life. They showed their enjoy
ment and appreciation by hearty
applause.
INTERMEDIATE ROOM.
The new year began in this
dept with all members present
but one.
Two new members are added to
our number, Belle Garrish and
Carl McCoun.
On January 7th there was a re-
classification Of pupils and all are
working earnestly in the different
classes.
PRIMARY ROOM.
We have ten pupils absent this
week on account of sickness.
Walter Edwards is staying
down at Pass Creek and We miss
his bright eyes and earnest work
from our midst.
The New Year, 1904, brought
into ~existance many firm resolu.
tons for better work, and play
throughout this department.
Again we cordially invite you,
dear reader, to come and visit us
in our workshop. You can gain
a better and more satisfactory
idea of what we are doing if you
come here, while we are at work.
An interesting letter was re-
ceived from Mildred Snow, one
of our last years pupils. She is
