Last Years  Blizzard
It appears that about $4000 of the Bee's Miss  ROYCE relief fund is yet in
the hands of Mr. ROSEWATER and which he has thus far  declined to pay over on
one pretext and another. It will be remembered that Miss  ROYCE had both feet
frozen off in the January storm and that the Bee appealed to  the public who are
responded to the tune of $5,800 and $1,800 of this amount has  been paid Miss
BOYCE (sic) and the balance is said to be yet in the  soup.

The Inaugural
The inauguration of President Harrison drew an  immense crowd to Washington
last Monday and notwithstanding the streets were  very muddy and rain falling,
40, 000 men were in the procession. The ceremonies,  parade and ball were by
far the grandest ever held since the formation of the  government. The
inaugural address was a very able production and strong at every  point. His
determination to strictly adhere to the civil service rules will make  many a
democratic office holders (sic) head rest much easier on his  shoulders.

Failed
John McDONALD formerly of this place and a  hardware merchant of Broken Bow
has failed. Liabilities about $15,000, assets  $5000.

For Sale
Forty thoroughbred laced Wyandott cockerels.  Also a few settings of eggs at
$1.00 per setting. These are the very best strain  of Wyandotts found in Ohio.
Chickens from these took three first prizes at the  state fair last fall
scoring over 90 points each. Come and see what I  have.

The present fine weather  indicates spring is near at hand. Farmers should
look over the tools and add any  needed repairs. When a tool is needed for
immediate use it often cannot be  repaired at once and the time wasted in waiting
for the repairs is often of more  value than the repairs themselves.

Three tramps were arrested by Marshall  COVEY Monday afternoon on charge of
