100 Years Ago - February 1900...Pg 2
The Meat Kept Well
John Steinle received a letter from Alaska, dated January 8. The thermometer registered
fifty-six below zero in Dawson City that day, meat sold for $1 a pound and wages were from
$4 to $5 a day. Shelby County Democrat, Feb. 16, 1900
It’s Valentine’s Time
The Young Ladies’ Sodality of the Holy Angels church gave a coffee social at the
Catholic Knights of America hall in the Metcalf building yesterday... A valentine booth
was situated to one side of the hall where valentines could be purchased and sent to each
other. This created a great deal of amusement, as everybody wanted to send their friends a
valentine.
Sidney Daily News, Feb. 15, 1900
