Francis, General Passenger Agent, Omaha VOTE OF THANKS We the farmers of Phillips County do hereby tender a vote of thanks to Sup't Highland and the B. & M. R. R. for the courtesy shown us and for the reduced rates given us on corn shipped to this point June 21, 189. By order of Co. Farmer's Alliance. C.R. Peter, Sec'y Pro tem *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* It seems to us that it is about time Phillips County was having a settlement with Logan County so that we may know how the finances of the county stand. As we understand the matter, the business was left in such a condition by the joint meeting of the boards that it will require considerable further work before a settlement can be made. We believe this matter should be attended to soon. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The U.P. Ry will sell excursion tickets at one fare for round trip from all points within the state good until July 5th. Sales to Denver will begin July 2nd. - Children half excursion rates. - G.W. Atkinson, Agent *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* By invitation we took dinner at the American Hotel last Sunday and Mr. Woodruff the accommodating landlord and his wife made it very pleasant indeed for the invited guests, of whom there was a large number. The table was laden with many good things in the line of eatables and all departed feeling that they had had a first class dinner. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Some of the farmers in this vicinity are complaining that the Hessian fly is damaging their small grain. These flies are very small and cannot be detected except by a close examination. Soon after being attacked by them, the small grain looks as if it had been fired by dry hot weather. We have heard but little complaint of this so far and it may be that but little damage will be done by this insect. **+*+*+*+*+*+*+* In connection with the exercises on the 4th of July, there will be a cavalry parade under the management of T.D. Tipton and M.D. Copp two of our old cavalry boys. Every man who has a horse and saddle whether an old soldier or not, is requested to report to these gentlemen for drill, Saturday June 28th at Holyoke. Those who will take part in the parade are requested to give their names to E.E. Brannon at the Post Office. THE SHORT LINE EAST Is the Union Pacific Ry. Only line running solid vestibule trains Denver to Chicago via Council Bluffs and Kansas City. Free reclining chair cars; elegant day coaches. All meals served in dining cars between Denver and Omaha, Kansas City, Chicago, St. Paul, Salt Lake and Portland, at the popular price of seventy-five cents. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* We are all anxious that the census enumeration of Holyoke and Phillips County should be complete. Owing to poor health, Mr. McDonald resigned the position of enumerator and P. Raymond has taken his place. Mr. Raymond finds that it will be impossible for him to complete the work in the time given him unless the people do all they can to help along with the work. He requests it as a favor, that all those persons whose names have not been taken meet him at the law office of J.H. Painter next door to court house tomorrow, Saturday. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* On last Saturday, J. Wagner residing northeast of Holyoke, was attacked by a vicious bull, knocked down and trampled upon, injuring him so badly that he lived only a short time. Mrs. Wagner, seeing her husband in danger, bravely rushed to his assistance and finally succeeded in getting him out of reach of the enraged bull but not till he was fatally injured. Mrs. Wagner received injuries which will, in all probability, cripple her for life. Mr. Wagner was about 70 years of age, a well to do farmer and stood very high in the estimation of all who knew him. This horrible death is a severe stroke upon his aged wife and the family and they have the heartfelt sympathy of all. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* W.R. Davis, who skipped from Holyoke between two days to avoid any unpleasantness with his many creditors, has been heard from. We have received letters of inquiry from two papers in Chicago, stating that Davis had represented to them that he was still connected with the STATE HERALD, that he was on his way to Washington and was out of money. On these representations he succeeded in borrowing money and, we suppose, has gone on his way rejoicing over the success of his smooth lies. Several unsuspecting friends in this vicinity mourn his departure also. Davis has established a reputation for crookedness in financial matters that would do credit to a first-class "bum." There is very little danger of his returning to Holyoke but we suppose he will continue to work on the sympathy of unsuspecting newspaper men at a distance. GRAND FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION!
