commission arrives. We aro sure we
voice the sentiments of the majority of
tho people in wishing them well where
ever they may go. Dad, as Mr. Pinker
ton Is famlltarly known to everyone In
tho community, Is noted far and wldo
for his sterling honesty and persevering
industry. He was born In Pennsylva
nia and served in a regiment from that
statu in the civil war. Korly in the
7u's ho came to Seward county, Nebras
ka. There he engaged in farming and
before any success could be made lie
had to pass through three grasshopper
scourges and drouth When that part
of the country became slightly "old"
the pioneer spirit moved him again
and ho located here. And now he is
located on the frontier down in Mc
Phcrsoti county where ranches are
miles and miles apart and the nearest
railroad station is something like forty
miles away. To us there is much to
admire In such a man as Mr. Pinkcrtou.
He is one of a type of men that has
done so much to develop the west and
to blaze the way for tho secondary em
igration from the fast. Most of them
have become pioneers because they
wanted elbow room because they
knew the west meant opportunity,
even if It also iiteaut hardship. They
were willing to bo the advance guard
of civilization and tho heritage they
leave behind is a well developed coun
try, for which they have received but
scanty thanks. Those who are now
children will In all probability never
see the strenuous life that men of the
generation rapidly passing away have
seen. We hope they may live in times
in which hardships and grinding toil
do not form so prominent a part. Hut
lot us who do llvu In different times
not forget to pay duo honor to tho pio
neers and allow them full credit for
their achievements.

It Is CiiiihIur l.urrd Department Official
Considerable Aiinoiincc.
The following Associated Press In
telligence from Washington, under
date of July 0, will prove Interesting
reading to the people of this section:
Secretary Hitchcock, Director Wol
cott of the geological survey and
Chief Newell of the division of hydrog
raphy had a conference yesterday upon
Irrigation. After reviewing the irri
gation bill and Its provisions the secre
tary Issued a letter to director Wolcott
setting aside Slf)!i,000 for preliminary
surveys, etc , as provided for In the bill.
Director Wolcott stated today that this
amount of money was all that could
possibly be used during the present
summer in making preliminary surveys
and locating sites for reservoirs. He
stated that the subject was so vast and
the Held so little comprehended that
the department would move very slow
ly In the matter, but that whatever
was done would be done for the best
interests of the arid and semi-arid
west, which is to be vitally benefitted
by reason of the passage of the irriga
tion bill.
Col. John S. Mosby, of ex-confederate
fame, nnd who Is special agent of the
land department, detailed for work in
Colorado, Wyoming and tho extreme
western portion of Nebraska, is in the
city on leave. Col. Mosby had an Inter
view with Secretary Hitchcock this
morning, ami in the course of the con
versation stated that the fences on
tho public domain in the western part
of Nebraska were being taken down
without any great trouble. Commis
sioner Hermann of the ollice, speaking
of the work of removing fences erected
by cattle barons and large corpora
tions on public lands in Nebraska,
stated that from Col. Mosby 's district
he had heard little or no complaint,
but that from other sections of Ne
braska, particularly around Alliance
and other places adjacent thereto, he
had heard man eompluints as to the
high handed manner in which the cat-
lie barons were usurping lauds not
their own.
"While I do not anticipate any trou
ble in western Nebraska,' said Com
missioner Hermann, "growing out of
the removal of fences, still it would
not surprise me if there was considera
ble resistance. It is not tho business
of the land department to remove the
fences. That matter rc-ts entiicly in
the hands of the Department of Jus
tice. All the land department does
through its special agents, is to notify
the offending cattlemen, ranchmen
and others who are usurpers that their
fences must come down within a cer
tain time. Failing to remove within
the time specified, it is the business of
the land ollice to inform the United
States district attorney of the failure
to comply with the laws demands, and
he in turn directs the marshal to pro
ceed to the land upon which the fences
are located with his force of deputies
and proceed tp level the fences to the
ground.
Poisoning the S stem.
It is through the bowels that the body is
cleansed of impurities. Constipation keeps
these poisons in the system, causing head
ache, dullness and melancholy at first, then
unsightly eruptions and finally serious ill
ness unless a remedy is applied. DeWitt's
Little Early Risers prevent this trouble by
stimulating the liver and promote easy,
healthy action of the bowels. These little
pills do not act violent) but by strengthen
ing the bowels enable them to perform
their own work. Never gripe or distress.

Mrs. George West of Alliance has

Ruin? Well, I should say wo had

therefore I think it must be true. As
to the quantity, I think it is satisfac

in that direction. It war, very accept

much more so if it had not beerr so so
ciable as to enter everybody's dwelling
