dime or nickel was laying for him to get

Exciting Day at Red Cloud
THE most exciting and altogether unique
Fourth of July celebration that l ever
participated in," said Judge Estelle, was
at Red Cloud in 1873. There were but a
few structures all above ground in the
town, among them the general store Of
Governor CARRIER a small hotel and
other store which the builder concluded not
to use and which was utilized as tenn
porary court house. All the settlers Of
the county, numbering probably $50 or 400,
were to gather at Red Cloud for the cele-
bration. The day before we went to the
creek bottoms and plucked everything
green we could find to make an arbor.
There were exercises TO be held and the
dancing afterward II. S. Galley, a brother
OF Attorney Galley of Omaha, was the big
man of the day, and l was to respond to
a sentiment on the program.
Just before we got started on the hur-
rah business there were signs over the
hills They were unmstakable and within
! few minutes herd of quite 800 buffaloes
arrived on the scene. They paused on a
rise overlooking the bottom where we were
| celebrating AS the buffalo came 10 halt
| the populace gathered at the arbor and
| began to get busy. A hunt was on in a jiffy,
| and such hunt as II was! l am sure the
| like was never seen at such short notice.
| All thought of speechmaking or anything
| else but buffalo was abandoned.
"The animals quickly scattered,
many racing about between the buildings
| in the town. Half a dozen probably were
killed and one calf captured after hard
| chase. 1t was afterward sent to Colum-
| bus, O., think by the man who secured It.

WATER COMPANY SUES NEWS
Asks Fifty Thousand Dollars Damages for
Saying Water is Impure.
CLAIMS PUBLICATION WAS LIBELoUS
Suit is Filed In the United states
Circuit Court for Article
Printed Fifteenth of
june

The Omaha Water company Saturday
morning filed suit in the United States cir
cult court against the Omaha Daily News
for $4,000, claimed as damages for alleged
libel contained in an article published by
that paper June 10 under the headlines,
Boil Water You Drink; Some Typhoid
Found in Omaha, and 1t Pays to BE Safe;
Comes from City Water, ETC."
The petition states in effect that the
water company is a corporation organized
under the laws of the state of Maine and
the Omaha News Publishing company is a
corporation organized under the laws of
Nebraska; that the Omaha Water company
furnishes to the people OF Omaha, South
Omaha Dundee, Florence, Benson and
East Omaha excellent and healthy water
which is absolutely free from typhoid germs
and for purity is second to none in the
United States or any other country, and
IS, 900, 900; that appraisers are now at work
in setting a valuation on the plant with
the purpose OF making an award that these
proceedings are had for the purpose Of the
eventual purchase OF the property OF the
water company by the city of Omaha.
The petition, which is filed by Hall e
Stout, attorneys for the company, says the
News has been its constant foe in public
matters and has printed numerous articles
involving the company whose veracity the
plaintiff denies.
The last publication, the company con-
tends, damaged 1t in the sum of $4,000.

Abolition of the modern Fourth of July

manning and murder-is a demand of the
public which seems close to accomplish

will be lost to glory and to patriotism
when the sting is extracted and a sane
celebration enforced have only to talk
with the old-timers of their acquaintance

This is an affair that will please the children. Arrange chairs. one for each guest. in a semicircle around large Blackboard If 20 children are pres ent, give each , card with a number on it, numbering the cards from one to twenty, with tiny pencil attached to it with ribbon. The name of the child is written on the back of the Eeard. Pass around slips of paper folded, and have each one promise not to tell what is written on his slip. The person in charge will then call the number, and each child must look to see what number is on ths slip received.
 For instance, if two is, called, the one holding the slip with that figure will get up and draw on the board a picture of the animal the paper desig- hates, the others putting down on their cards opposite the number called, the Enimal they think it is.1 After 20 animals have been drawn and guessed, the correct list is read,e the children marking their cards with the ones They have correct.
 M The boy or girl who rightly guesses Ehe greatest number will receive a prize. The one guessing the smallest number must also have prize for Consolation.
