TALK OF THE TOWN

julius Scnromm and Miss Anna
Bowen were united in holy matri-
mony Monday, July 10, 1905, at
the Catholic church, Father Mugs
sen officiating. Both the bride and
groom are we'll and favorably
known here. THE DEMOCRAT ex-
tends congratulations
Martin Carr and son j. S. Carr
of Simeon were in town Tuesday
getting supplies to begin haying.
They say that it is the wettest they
have seen it in the hay fats, but
think that what they lose in the
valleys this year, will be more than
made up in the hills, where there
seems to be plenty of grass.
Fred Cumbow went down to
Woodlake Friday morning. He
recently resigned his position with
I. G. Horribly, which he has held
for number of years and will live
on his ranch near Woodlake. It
is with regret that his numerous
friends see him leave town and we
hope to see him back by the time
snow flies.

Misses Bernice Kief of Wood
lake, Mary Barnes and Myrtle
Richardson of Newton, Jessie Nc
Connaugney of Mirage and Lillian
Nelson of Cody are new students
enrolled at the normal.
If you have not seen the school
garden, walk out that way the first
spare moment you have. 1t is a
beauty. The lettuce and radishes
are ready to eat and the flowers
are just beginning to bloom.
Supt. Stockdale, who has the
class in agriculture, is furnishing
substantial evidence that agricul-
ture in schools may be made inter-
esting and profitable. Under his
directions the class is furnishing
crisp, toothsome radishes and let
tuce for the dining hall and some
favored friends.
The normal chorus is now re-
hearsing for the concert. The
evening meetings are to be on
Wednesdays at the M. E. church
and all singers in Valentine are
cordially invited to join the chorus.
At the last meeting several friends
came in and helped and others
have promised their assistance.
Students and the instructors of
the junior normal are looking for
ward with pleasure to the great |
picnic to be held July %. 1t |
seems that many more citizens Of |
Valentine will join with US in the
picnic this year than ever before.
1t has been thought best to 60 to
the beautiful Perry falls, six miles
east Of Ft. Niobrara where we had
such a delightful time last year.
Charles Ammon, who has been
in attendance at the Valentine
normal each of the three summers
since it's opening, has been COM
PEELED, on account of poor health,
to return home. He has been a
great help in many ways to those
the normal and will be
greatly missed. Mrs. Ammon and
two younger children were here
during the last week of Mr.. Am
mons stay. We believe Mr.. Am
mon has been influential in bring
ing more students to normal than
any other one student.

will Be Awarded Much Business by
Uncle Sam.
Washington, June 12.-lnformation
has been received by Quartermaster
General Humphrey, that NO San Fran
cisco company has bid on war depart
ment transportation to the Philippines
for the coming fiscal year. He has
also been informed that the Boston
Steamship Company, at Seattle, is the
lowest bidder, but the scale of bids
opened in Seattle last Thursday has not
yet been received here.
Gen. Humphrey had the idea some
days ago that no Pacific coast company
intended to bid ON this transportation,
and he so announced to the newspaper
men, and made some characteristic
comments on the supposed fact.
At that time he went on to say that
the coast lines were so busy with regu-
lar business that they could not un-
dertake any for the government. The
general confessed his error, however,
and said the war department would
give the Boston Steamship Company a
lot Of business during the coming year
There would probably be more than
usual. he said, from the fact that NO
San Francisco company has bid.
