NEWSPAPERS: THE STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado: 8 Aug 1890, Vol. III - No. 52 http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/phillips/newspapers/sthld1890/90aug08.txt Donated by: Vicki Conklin 17 Jan 2005 ====================================================================== STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado J.H. PAINTER Editor & Publisher 8 Aug 1890, Friday, Vol. III - No. 52 Page One LOCAL LORE It is our purpose to note the arrival and departure of all guests to our city, and request those who have visitors to inform us of the fact. Local news items are always thankfully received. The County Treasurer has made another call for warrants. J.H. Russell of Julesburg was in town the first of the week. H.R. Painter took the train Saturday morning for Eaton, Colorado. Mrs. T.J. Close returned home last week after a visit of several weeks in the east. Miss Mattie Daggy returned Tuesday from a visit with friends at York, Nebraska. Mrs. George Brooks came in on the train Monday from a visit with friends at Cheyenne. Mrs. C.B. Timberlake returned to Holyoke Saturday morning from a visit to Beatrice, Nebraska. Frank Forbes, chief train dispatcher at Holyoke, is in the city this week on business - McCook Gazette. Rev. W.L. Balley the Methodist minister assigned to Holyoke by the conference preached Sunday morning. We advise Bro. Williams to look up the origin of the word "gerrymander" before he undertakes to make use of it again. Conrad Schafer of Fort Morgan, Grand Master of I.O.O.F. of Colorado, visited the Lodge at Holyoke Tuesday evening of this week. We see from the LaHarper that W.N. Jordon, cashier of the Exchange bank of Venango, has recently returned from a visit to his old home in Illinois. Whitney Irwin has purchased the building formerly used by E.E. Brannon as a law office, and has had it moved onto Dr. Blair's lot south of Reiff's furniture store. Frank A. Fitzpatrick, of Leavenworth, Kansas, formerly state superintendent of schools, was in Holyoke Tuesday and gave a talk before the Teacher's Association in session here. NOTICE - From and after the 11th of August, the elevator in Holyoke will be open for business and we will be prepared to handle grain of all kinds. - H.C. Smith H.C. Smith, of Bertrand, Nebraska, was in Holyoke the first of the week making arrangements to handle grain at the Holyoke elevator. The farmers will soon begin threshing and the prospect is that there will be considerable wheat to handle at Holyoke. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The Teacher's Association, in session this week, has a good attendance of teachers. Prof. P.M. Condit is giving general satisfaction as an instructor and this session of the Association will result in much benefit to the teachers in attendance. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The will be an old-fashioned spelling school at the school house on the evening of the 15th of August under the management of the Teacher's Association. A copy of Webster's unabridged dictionary will be the prize presented to the best speller. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The News seems very much afraid that a good word will be said in its columns for some business man of our town and the editor not receive pay for the same. We wonder how much Williams receives for that page of foreign ads which he carries. Better do a little free advertising for a home business man than devote a page to foreign business in order to fill the paper. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The Phillips County commissioners spent Monday at Sterling making arrangements for a settlement between the two counties. W.C. Robinson, Deputy Clerk, accompanied them and arrangements were made for him and Mr. Hayes, of Logan County, to make a thorough examination of the Logan County treasurer's books as a basis for settlement. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* L.O. Camp, the party who left Holyoke last Saturday for parts unknown, taking with him a fine team and carriage on which there was a chattel mortgage held by a party in Nebraska, was arrested in Denver soon after reaching the city. Sheriff Temple went to Denver and returned with his man and the team and carriage are on their way back to Holyoke. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Hon. Fred Dick, State Superintendent of Schools, spent Tuesday in attendance upon the exercises of the Teacher's Association, in Holyoke, and lectured in the evening taking as his subject "The improvement of the rural school." Prof. Dick is a good speaker and he held the undivided attention of his large audience while he handled his subject in a manner both interesting and instructive to all. Among other plans suggested by him for the improvement of the county schools is, that at least one-third of the state be put upon the market and sold, instead of holding the land, as at present for a rise in the price of the same. He claims that by so doing the country schools would receive, as their share of the interest on the proceeds of the sale of the land, sufficient money to relieve them of the burden of a school tax and at the same time enable them to have a longer term of school each year than at present. This plan is certainly a good one and we believe that, for the good of the schools and the relief of the people from a school tax, it should be adopted and carried into effect. Mrs. M.A. Hine returned this week from a visit with friends in Nebraska. Professor P.M. Condit delivered a lecture at the M.E. church last evening on "Sociology." The audience were much interested and well entertained by the able manner in which he handled the labor question. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* BEACHVILLE Still it is very warm. Mr. Henry Butler, his daughter Anne and Peter Hackethal and family leave for Denver this week. E. Sprague has received his new California windmill and will put it up at once. John Crater will superintend the job. Mrs. Peter and daughter, Sophie Troutman, were pleasant callers on Grandma Trego last Thursday afternoon. Rev. Andrew Borgan was assisting Oscar Troutman with his wheat the past week. John Jenkins who has been farming near Eustis, Nebraska, will be home again in a few days. Captain Mason has made a new hay rack and has painted it red. The Captain generally paints things "red" when it comes to working. C.R. Peter and Sophie Troutman are attending the Teachers Association at Holyoke. Harvesting is over and as far as could be ascertained the farmers generally are satisfied when comparing crops with those farther east. Soon the hum of thresher will be heard in this vicinity and the farmer will be glad to market his grain and relieve his depressed condition. - OLD MISERY *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Bro Painter, of the HERALD, thinks our irrigation scheme is in the moon. - Tribune Probably Bro. Porter will inform his readers, if, by "our" irrigation scheme" he means a certain irrigation scheme gotten up by him and a party from Aspen, Colorado, and whether the sole object and aim of said scheme was not private speculation. We understand that this scheme collapsed and, no doubt, would very properly come under the head of those visionary enterprises of Bro. Porter's to which we referred in the last issue. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* GLEANINGS FROM 9-44 A light shower fell Sabbath evening. We are grateful for even small favors in this line. Harvest is about over, and the yield of small grain will probably average a half crop, which is no worse showing than the majority of western states have this year. Charles Slater is spending a few days at home. He reports a great amount of business as adjustor for the Home Insurance Company, of Nebraska. Sand cherry parties have been numerous of late, but wearied bodies at night-fall have been more numerous than cherries. Holyoke's enterprising artist, Powers, recently photographed a fine field of wheat shocks on the Kingery claim, also the banner corn field of Milton Worley, and Fred Borland's large flock of sheep. No better evidence of the healthfulness of this township can be given than the fact that but two deaths have occurred in its five years of settlement. Edward and Luella Reynolds are visiting at home from Dawson County, Nebraska, and on the expected arrival of Mr. H.V. Temple, of Lexington, the coming week, the family circle will be completed. Having had occasion to test the skill of Dr. Gibson, late of Chicago, we can commend his work to the public needing his services in the dental line. The local application he makes use of for the extraction of teeth is perfectly harmless, and very effective in diminishing pain, and his mechanical work is equal to the best. "To live in hearts we leave behind us is not to die." Such were our thoughts as we witnessed the obsequies of Miss Hoskins, which, impressive in their well ordered management and decorative beauty, were a merited tribute to departed worth. We notice that the News warns its correspondents against personal mention of the work or wares of our business men, claiming for itself that special prerogative for the revenue in it. This seems to us a very short-sighted policy, as local journalists are usually expected to do much gratuitous booming for the good of their towns, but which is as "bread cast upon the water," it returns to them in the shape of advertising and job work, which are their main source of profit and whatever is done by their correspondents without "pay" in this line, is so much gain. - EGO Ad - LOOK!
