THE TOWN CLOCK BENEFIT.

The largest crowd that evei
assembled in Locher's hall on 9
similar occasion greeted the loca
talent players last Wednesday
evening when they produced the
drama, THE Woven Web" foi
the benefit of the town clock
fund. Including $5 Voluntarily
given by j. Il. Jenkins, the Stems
Mountain sheepman, and 81 Civ
en- by V. G.. Cozad the receipts
totaled SlS2.75. The expense
was 1885 and some wood that
was left was sold to the Mothers
Club for their dance for .75 cents,
leaving the net receipts Sll4.65.
This amount added to the fund
now in the First National Bank,
S154. 10. makes n total fund of
S299.05 with sufficient interest
due on the bank deposit to bring
| it over $500 i'm all. AS soon as
catalogues are received and pric-
es consulteda a committee willpur-
chase the town clock.
1t is certainly gratifying to see
the interest shown by the citizens
in this matter and to know that
a sufficient amount is now ready.
The people appreciate the efforts
of our local talent in working for
this worthy cause, but the play
ers will not accept credit for the
entire success of the undertake
ing as the liberal patronage and
encouragement of the public
made it possible. Therefore the
town clock belongs TO all of us
with particular thanks to the
Georgia Harper CO. for starting
the fund.
The manager of this great re-
ligious weekly feels deeply obli-
gated to those who took part in
the production and will do what
ever possible to repay il. This.
however will not be possible un-
Ill next season perhaps as the
entire aggregation which Carl
Welker insists ON calling The
Times-Herald Stock Co. will
retire from the strenuous life"
for the present with the cxcep-
ton of Mr. Wclker who will take
charge OF q bin TO be played by
the local Woodman Circle about
court time.

Because thew were foolish enough TO
go the neighboring CITY of Aberdeen to
dispose of the goods they had stolen,
two men who took part in hurglarizing
the Tuthill hardware store at Groton
last Friday night, were arrested IN
Aberdeen Saturday by Chief of Police
G. K. Zirbes. They sold five shot guns
to Hay, the second hand dealer, and
this fact led 70 their undoiug. The
men were arrested soon after the sale IN
a saloon on Main street, where they
started to spend some OF the money.
The men were placed in the county
Jail to await hearing. They gave
their names as William Frank and
Henry Perry. A third man, who is
said to be one of their pals, escaped.
The final work of removing Eyarts

When it was decided to abandon tn,
town. the towusite people agreed t.
move Evarts people to any of the town

and this they have been doing. Furthe
than this they have been paying NJ

DUTCH FLEET TO VENEZUELA
May Mean Hostilities Between the
Two Countries.

Two Countries.
Hague, July 29.-The battleships
Heemske Piethern and Eyersth-
en- and the cruisers Holland, Utrecht
and Friedland have been ordered to
assemble Immediately at the West
Indies, the commander of the east
squadron having been notified to be
prepared to dispatch his fleet to
venezuela on a moments notice. Ne
gotiations are in progress for the
purchase of several small fast steam
ships to supplant the fleet in the
event of a blockade of Venezuelan
ports.
The order assembling the fleet oc-
casioned intense excitement here,
and is believed to mean that the
Netherlands will plunge into wal
with Venezuela unless oCstro backs
down, and every indivation now
points to the fact that preparations
are being rapidly completed for a
struggle, which seems inevitable.
All vessels in the Netherlands fleet
carry heavy guns and any one OF
them would be more than a match
for the old ships wnich Venezuela
could muster into service.
Indignation here is increasing ovel
the recent expulsion of Minister De,
rues by the Venezuela ruler.
