The Arlington Comedy company
finished their weeks engagement
in the Broken Bow Opera house
Saturday night and left on the
early Sunday morning train for
Madison, where they are booked
for another weeks engagement
during the Madison fair. The
prize rawing was pulled off on
Saturday night. Mrs. Edward

Martin the rocking chair and Nc
Williams the center table.
John Bell, who has been with
the Watts News and Music COM
pauy this summer, left Tuesday
for Albion, Nebraska, where he
will clerk in Pete Ryerson's drug
store. Approaching the fact
that the REPUBLICAN is the best
local paper published in Broken
Bow he ordered it sent him for a
year and will thereby keep fully
posted on home events. The
best wishes of all and love of
several tender hearts went with
him.
The Galloway Tribune of last
week contained the following bit
of news: Charles Demiug came
over from Broken Bow and was
so we'll pleased with looks of the
place that he made a contract
with Ira Sailing for his half sec
ton just north of town at'S22, so
an acre. Mr.. Deming will have
his son move over in the spring
to take possession. He says now
he will not be so bitterly opposed
to division, in fact he talked as
though he might help us out.
The Vanderberg Bros, of
Sargent, showing of short horn
cattle at the fair last week was
an exceptionally good one and
the groom heard the remark:
"Aren't they beauties?" many
hundred times. Their showing
was brought here from the Ord
fair wnere five lists, two 2nds and
the sweepstakes premiums were
secured. A public sale OF short
horns will be held by the Wander
berg's on their farm at Sargent,
Nov, 9TH. If you want to pur-
chase one or more fine short horn
critters write them for pedigree
catalogue of the cattle that will
be offered at the sale.
Mr.. and Mrs. p. A. Walton were
summoned to Lee Park last
Thursday on account of the
death of George Eastman the
day previous. Mr.. Eastman,
a son-in-law of Mrs. Walton,
was taken sick the preceding
Friday with tonsilitis and was
not considered dangerous, but a
complication of pneumonia set in
and his demise was unexpected.
He was % years of age and the
large number of friends and
neighbors in attendance at the
funeral last Sunday attested the
high esteem and great respect in
which he was held. In her sad
and sudden bereavement all
acquaintance extend heartfelt
sympathy to Mrs. Eastman.
There will come a time some
day when Broken Bow will get
out of the "village way of doing
business-when business men
will not hitch their delivery nags
in front of the store and blockade
the streets instead of taking the
goods out at the rear door.
Some time-it may be in the dim
and the distant-the merchants
won't blockade the sidewalks
with displays of goods and use
the streets for business purposes
rent free. Neither will they
sweep the litter and filth from
their stores across the pavement
onto the streets-to pollute the
thoroughfare and scatter dirt and
disease. Only the optimist, how
ever, will see these things in the
immediate future-perhaps.
