Mrs. Warren, sister of Mrs. Highland, who has been visiting with her sister, left Monday night for Buffalo, New York. We have had no late reports from the Culbertson line. We are very anxious to know how the man and mule have stood this hot weather. The correspondents of the HERALD seem to be too busy harvesting this week to give us the news. We are glad to know that they are favored with a crop to harvest. Rev. W.L. Bailey, the M.E. minister assigned to Holyoke will be here to conduct services at the church next Sunday morning. Come out and give him a large congregation. Several of our good shots have organized a shooting club and, if you should hear the rattle of musketry over in the south part of town, do not mistake it for Bro. Williams' revolution which he proposes to lead in case the election bill passes. Miss May Wickersham after a visit of two months with her brother B.F.

Spahr returned yesterday from a trip to Grand Island, Nebraska, where he had been to look after a real estate deal. He informs us that it is very dry in that section of the state so much so, in fact, that the leaves on the trees are drying up with the drought and excessive heat. Elmer Worley was thrown from his road cart by a runaway horse last Saturday, striking the ground on his forehead, causing a very severe bruise and a black eye. From the manner in which he was thrown from the cart, he was fortunate in escaping no worse injury. Ad - Excursion rates via U.P. Ry. Tickets on sale the year around. Sterling to Salt Lake and Ogden $39 - 70, Sterling to Helena and Butte $56. These tickets are good 90 days from date. Thirty days transit limit each. Good one way via D. & R.G. Ry. - G.W. Atkinson, Agent. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* A surveying party was seen this week near Galion, heading towards Sterling but we have not been able to ascertain the object of the survey. We suppose, however, that it means another railroad through this section of country and, if so, we should see to it that Holyoke's interests are properly looked after. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The political pot is beginning to boil and the politicians, all over the state, are busily studying how to manipulate the ropes in order to bring about their nomination for the coveted office. The interests of the dear people are being well looked after now and will be, at least, until after election. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Phillips County elects a sheriff and one commissioner this fall. It is pretty near time for the would-be victims to put on their war paint and prepare for battle. So far there has been but very little talk about candidates but we suppose the woods are full of them. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* MARRIED - ENRIGHT & WELSH Married, at Osian, Iowa, July 8, 1890, T.F. Enright, of Holyoke, Colorado, and Miss Mary J. Welsh, of Ossian, Iowa. Mr. Enright is another of the B. & M. boys, who tired of a life of single blessedness, have recently secured a life helpmate. May life's pay car never fail to furnish this couple with large checks on the bank of happiness and prosperity. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The street commissioner is cutting the weeds around our sidewalks. That is a good move and while that is being done, all trash should be cleaned up from our business lots, as it is a necessary precaution against sickness, at this season of the year, that our streets and lots should be kept as clean as possible. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* We understand that the Logan County commissioners have said that it would not require more than fifteen minutes to make settlement with Phillips County. They must have the matter all cut and dried. Probably our commissioners will insist upon having a little to say about the calculations upon which the settlement is made. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* We hear a great deal about the lake at Curtis, Nebraska, and some of our citizens go down there for a days sport at fishing. We believe that with the necessary effort on the part of our citizens, Holyoke can boast of a lake equal to the one at Curtis. Every investigation that has been made goes to prove that there is an abundance of water in the bed of the Frenchman to form a good lake, if the necessary work is done to control the water. It would not cost much labor to give this matter a thorough test, at least, and, when we stop to think of the benefit that would result to our town from the presence of a nice lake of water, it is certainly a wonder that no effort has been made to thoroughly test the matter. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* If the tax is collected on all the dogs in Holyoke, this tax must be quite a source of revenue to the city, judging by the number of dogs that are on the streets. This law should be rigidly enforced by the marshall, as we certainly have no use for any tramp dogs in Holyoke, for they are dangerous animals to run at large any how at this season of the year. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Rev. Cook returned Wednesday from Canon City where he has been in attendance upon the annual conference. He informs us that the conference located him at Longmont for the next year and that Rev. W.L. Bailey is assigned to Holyoke. We are sorry to know that Rev. and Mrs. Cook are to leave Holyoke, for they will be greatly missed, both as workers in the church, and as valued members of Holyoke's social circles. Methodist ministers are always subject to the orders of the conference, and while we have not been informed as to Rev. and Mrs. Cook's wishes in regard to being returned to Holyoke, yet we know that they have a very warm attachment for the people of Holyoke. The HERALD wishes them success in their new field of work. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* OBITUARY Died, at Holyoke July 31, 1890, at 11 a.m., of typhoid fever, Miss Susie Hoskins, sister of B.A. Hoskins, of Holyoke. Susie Hoskins was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. Hoskins, of Ayr, Nebraska, was born on the 31st day of July 1850 at Dodgeville, Wisconsin, where she resided with her parents till 1882, when they removed to their present home Ayr, Nebraska. She spent several years with her brothers, B.A. and R.A. Hoskins in California and Old Mexico and, since the boys located in business at Holyoke, she has spent most of the time with them. When about fifteen years of age she made a public profession of religion and united with the Methodist Episcopal church and has always lived a faithful, consistent, christian life, showing, by her every day life her abiding faith in the reality of the religion which she professed. Since coming to Holyoke, she had not united with the church here, but only a few days before her death she expressed her desire and intention to do so, as soon as Rev. Cook should return from conference. But, instead of being permitted to unite with the church here, she has been called to her eternal home to unite with the church triumphant. Susie Hoskins, since she came to Holyoke to live, by her amiable and kindly disposition, attracted to her a host of warm personal friends who mourn her death. She leaves behind her, her aged father and mother, one sister, Mrs. Richards, of Roseland, Nebraska, and two brothers. These mourning relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of all who knew her. The funeral services were held today at the M.E. church in Holyoke Rev. H.B. Cook conducting the services, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Holyoke cemetery. ================================================================= All files are contributed for use by the USGenWeb Archives Project (http://www.usgwarchives.net/).
