YOU see there's something in the air.
You know from past performances
that the colloquial monsoon is about
to take place. Get that? You see
the dark clouds looming on the domeS-
tic horizon and you hear the distant
cracking of the forked lightning that
is going to blast you to your roots
pretty soon. The air is hushed,. as
they say in the classics. There is
something going to occur.
"Well, sir, you don't get ready to
beat it. You decide to stay and
fight. That is, maybe You decide to
stav and fight. It depends on how
lono vou' we been married o. how
much natural foolhardiness you we
got.

Baltimore. Dec. 1S.-Since the oys-
ler season opened. thousands of
bushels of fine Chesapeake bay oys-
lsrs have gone to waste, the dealers
being unable to find a market which
would net a reasonable profit.
For the first time since the con-
fede-ate war, probably a dozen eggs
will buy a bushel Of oysters and that
bushel will lopen nearly a gallon. The
cost of openng-2O cents-is almost
the price Of the oysters.
This is the best season for oysters
in a good many years, but for the
oyster packer and shipper it is the
poorest in many seasons.
The oysters are large, fine and plen-
tiful bur there is no market for them.
The stringent times is largely re-
spons.5le.

DEMOCRATIC DELEGATION
Chicago Delegrtes Arrive In Jules
burg Enroute to Denver.

Last Wednesday was a gala day in
Julesburg, and was one of expecta-
ton, waiting and watching. 1t was at
first reported that the automobile
train bearing the delegation from Chi
cago to Denver would arrive about
noon. Another report gave another
hour for their arrival, and after sup
per the streets assumed citytied ap-
pearance. Men, women and children
thronged Center street from the
Brown Lodging House to the west
end OF City Park. Every little while
some one in the crowd would give out
the information that they we're coming.
There would be rush to the front to
get glimpse Of the delegation from
the Windy City, but it was $50 when
the whistle sounded announcing the
approach of their coming. Judge
Pound, in his new Maxwell met them
at Bigspring with the reception CON-
mittee, consisting Of Messrs. Line.
barger. Beatty, Parker, Bush and
Burke. Dr. Babcock act:d in the
capacity as pilot and came in with
flying colors. He received the ap-
plause of those assembled and was
the hero of the hour as he came down
Center to the finish.
The band played few selections in
the Grand Stand of the Park and
then in front of the Brown several
tunes were played to welcome the
visitors to this city.
1t was intended to have grand
rally in the Park with addresses from
members of the delegation, but owing
to the lateness of their arrival and
the threatening weather this part o
the program was dispensed with.
After an inspection Of the cars the
crowd which had been expecta q IL y
waiting to hear the silver-tongued
orators speak the pieces, wended theil
way homeward.

SEDGWICk ITEMS.

Carpenters will commence an eight
room addition on the Wicott hotel
next week.
The Farmers Institute held at the
school house Monday was success in
every way and about l25 were in at
tendance. A great deal Of good ad-
vice was given by the three speakers.
A great many get the impression that
these lecturers do not know what they
are talking ABOUT but we must remem-
ber they are continually over classes
that are experimenting on 1000 acres
of both dry and irrigated land so are
in position to tell US what is what.
J. f. Smith will erect house on
the lots south of DR.. Lewis residence
in short time.
Mrs. Ohlseen of Denver is visiting
at the home of her son Ocsell in the
west part.
Our butchers are now doing business
and are putting out the finest meat
Sedgwick has seen for a long time.

aud we're defeated by our ball team
II to !. The boys play snappy ball
and if they were little heavier at the
bat would be hard to beat.
Barney Finn and John Clute went
to Denver Wednesday to do some
cement work there
Miss Gates of Ayr, Neb. is visiting
at Robert Zacharys.
A fine soda fountain was placed in
the drug store Monday.
The Bell Telephone Company un-
loaded two carloads of poles here
Wednesday, so we hope to be able to
visit our neighbors in other towns
shortly.
The Elk Horn ranch, situated near
Ovid, and owned by c. Franklin, pre-
sents about as fine an appearance as
any OF the numerous good farms in
that vicinity. While driving past
that place few days ago, we noted a
field OF as good beets as can be found
in Sedgwick county, as well as other
crops, all looking fine and promising.
We also noted nice fruit orcrard on
this place,-a plan other farmers
would do we'll to follow. There is also
good garden for which we think Mrs.
Franklin deserves great credit. 1t
seems to us that a place such as this
is presents much better appearance
than If permitted to grow up in grass
and weeds.
Barb wire-in any quantity at
Sedgwick Hardware Co. Low t
prices.

Wednesday was a dismal day
and threatened rain nearly every
hour. At noon a slight shower
was in evidence and later in the
afternoon the dark clouds how
cred over the city. We are not
superstitious, but the darkness
may have been caused by the ap-
proach of the Democratic delega-
ton in automobiles on their way
to the national convention which
convenes in Denver next week.
They arrived in this city about
$50 in the evening and as the
weather would not permit of an
open air meeting in the park the
public speaking was called off.
The band play ed in the grand
stand and later they gave the
visitors a welcome in front of the
Brown Hotel.

Lincoln county, Nebraska, were united
in the holly bonds Of wedlock. They

Lies" Williams, accompanied by
his family, came over from North
river yesterday. We are always glad
to see Les" for we remember him
best one day when he dropped his
paint brush and went up windmill
ladder like cat up tree, and
brought down baby that had climbed
toward the top, fearing to go higher
and too frightened to come down-just
hanging on the round by one hand
and looking ready to fall. We like
the fellow who acts we'll in pinches.
Miss Ella Jones has very nice class
in Kindergarten work, using the
primary room at the schoolhouse. We
don't want to give anything away, but
we remember we'll first seeing Miss
Jones, little black-eyed girl, fair of
face, standing with her father at what
is now the postotiice corner, printed in
gold letters across the band of her
cap-Harrison and Morton, twenty
years ago this fall. Miss Jones'
frienus certainly have just cause to
feel proud over her splendid success in
her chosen work.
Oscar Corpe, the barber, is building
new two story brick building where
the old shop stood. This is the most
pleasant item in this paper. Oscar
wintered with us one winter, away
back In lean years, when shaves were
far between. and an old army press
did all the printing for the town. But
those were happy days-nothing to do
but battle for the little in sight He
left us, married splendid girl, and
fortune has smiled her sweetest smiles
on him ever since. We are glad to
see him prosper-may his shadow
never grow less.

mand for something to eat, made
his escape from the city bastile

not leave his future address with

enough to 'leave the ball and
chain where it could be found.
The section gang discovered it
and returned it to the authori-
ties for future use.
A quiet little wedding occurred

ber of the Young Mems Club was
given surprise at the regular
meeting of the club, Tuesday
evening, when he and his wife
were pres ented with a handsome
gift. Mr.. and Mrs. Troy have
the best wishes of all for their
future success and happiness.
Booming your town is legiti-
mate business, but when there
is a little furry of excitement in
your town do not try the get
rich-quick scheme of raising the
price of what you have for sale
for the time being, and then after
the rush is over have your com
modify left on your hands. If
you are running place of busi-
ness where you are continually
coming in contact with the pub
