A physician says that a man is shorter during the day than at night. That is probably because his wife picks his pockets in the morning.

All seemed well pleased with the work of the convention, The first snow storm of the season struck us last Monday morning and struck some of us pretty hard, as there but little coal in town and but slim prospects of getting more any ways soon. In preparing the account of the wedding published in last week's paper, we were somewhat crowded for time and accidently omitted to give the present of ten dollars from the groom to the bride.

The Allison Breeze, published at Allison, Kansas, is the neatest and brightest exchange on our table. It is edited by W. E. Smith recent superintendent of Arapahoe schools. -Bartley (Neb.) Inter-Oceon.

J. T. Metcalf, one of our energetic farmers brought a squash to town last Tuesday that weighed over fifty pounds and had a diameter of thirty inches.

The republican speakers that were booked for Allison last Monday evening, failed to come.

Foster's example and provide good shelter for their stock.

Smith, teacher. Editor of the Breeze: Whereas the wolves have become 20 numerous of late and are growing so impudent in their manners toward the whites and especially toward the chickens of the neighborhood that it is dangerous for a chanticler to get off his roost to crow before sun up or the rest of the brood to try to get an early break; fast. We have resolved that they have had their own way long enough and that now, after long forbearance, and 1 no signs of their reforming, to avenge ourselves on them for stealing our property and appropriating it to their own use To that end we invite one and all both great and small and especially every one who is possessed of a (fowl) stomach to join us in a circular hunt and see if we can't get away with a few of the pesky varmints. The day designated for the hunt is Saturday, the 5th day of Nov. 1887.

The hour for the meeting of each squad or company, is nine o'clock a.m. Let all hands be punctual to the hour that there be no jangle. We must all pull together and leave no gap open whereby the wily coyote can make its escape. Let each company select a leader whose duty it shall be to distribute his at proper distance to the right and men left of center. It is supposed that the leader of each squad will keep to the center of their respective company, to keep their men as near as possible in a circular line, to not allow any one to go faster than a brisk walk, to keep his men cool and collected, to not allow any rifles used unless loaded with with shot, no shot larger than Bb allowed, to caution their men not to fire unless they are positive is no danger of hitting any person.

We desire one company to meet at Allison at precisely 9 o'clock on the 5th, one, one mile east of John Fosters, one three miles south of Adell, one two miles south west of Mr. Skidmores, one at Lewis Laturns, one two miles north of Return Fosters, one two miles north of Mr. Putts. The center will be near the north line of Section 31, Town 5, Range 27, near the Armstrong claim. Take the hearings and be ready to march at 9 o'clock, keep a sharp look and see what the result will be.

Yours Respectfully. S. J. FOSTER. A Pleasant Wedding.

A Circular Hunt. We clip the foilowing from the Topeka Saturday Evening Lance of October 1887. The home of Mr. and Mrs. D.

P. Elliott, corner of Eleventh and Van Buren streets, was filled with friends and relatives, Wednesday evening, in response to the invitations of Mr. and Mrs. Elliott to the marriage of their daughter, Miss Frances to Capt. William MeA.

Green. 'The several rooms of the house were handsomely decorated with flowers and plants, neatly arranged, so that when the bridal party took their positions, they were surrounded by. those emblems of love and beauty. At eight o'clock, Mrs. Hughes and Mrs.

Wolfe played the wedding march, and the bride and groom, preceded by the bride's young brother and sister, officiating clergyman, the Right Rev. Bishop Vail, the parents, and the attendants, Miss May Gemmell and Mr. Frank Bonebrake, Miss Lula Iliginbotham and Mr. S. R.

Ritchie, descended from the upper rooms, and took their positions, the parents and attendants within a floral fence, the gates of which were opened by Miss and Master Elliott, the bride end groom under a delicate arch of tulle lace with white doves upon either side. The fence made of the beautiful fairy flowers and ribbon, added to the attractiveness of the scene. The bride wore a becoming gown of shraded silk, cut en traine, square neck and short sleeves, trimmed with point lace, faille Francaise and moire, and wore natural flower ornaments. Miss Gemmell's dress was of cream satin and lace, ornamented with pearls, and Miss Higinbotham wore a gown of pale blue satin, with plush feather trimmings. After the beautiful service, according to the Episcopal church, made most impressive by the kindly tones of the good Bishop, the relatives and friends offered their congratulations, and the party devoted itself to social amusements.

Refreshments were served in the dining hall, by Hopkin, and were elaborate in all features. The presents which were given the young couple by their many friends and admirers, were displayed in the west parlor, and attracted much merited attention, many beautiful things of use and ornament having been sent from relatives and acquaintances here and abroad. After their reception Mr. and Mrs. Green were taken to their own house, No.

731 Lincoln street, where they will be at home to their friends. The BREEZE unites with Mr. Green's friends here, in extending congratulations to the happy couple. Geo. F.
