We are here to stay THE CATTLE INDUSTRY. The honorable gentleman from Nebraska who how fills the chair of the secretary of agriculture and .whose predominating traits seenuto be an . intense suspicion coupled with a combativeness that impels him to destroy all wood piles that may ov any possibility contain an African citizen, leads him to attack the beef trust that has so recently caused, so he asserts, the rise in the price of his beef-steak. We do not know anything about the beef trust, but we do know that our peo ple hare been looking, hoping, and wishing for a rise in the price of beef for years, although we want to see some of the benefit of the raise to be felt here where we can produce beef cheaper and of better quality than any other place on earth. Our recollection carries us back from ten to twelveyears ago, when at about twelve o'clock in the day during the summer season, long lines ot cattle would be seen com ing down or out of the bluffs or high lands to water at the streams in Western Nebraska, and we are informed that this was the case in Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming. These great herds have disap peared. The'settler has taken up the land very largely on the high lands, and prevented the ranging of cattle as of old. The streams and creeks are fenced with wire fences. The cattle men were obliged to sell in order to save themselves from entire loss: the forced sale depreciated the price of cattle, therefore it did not pay the smaller herd owners to increase the number ot their cattle: and the price has remained T low, too low, for profit. Lincoln county has plenty locations where the cattle can be successfully and profitably raised if the beef trust awill only keep up the price and a1ww us some benefit ot" the raise. Rattle winter here without .fcedjf except during storms, which is" great advantage to tfce grower. 'If the rise in cattle will create hundreds of small stock arms that can be profitably started ift'tEfcccm'nfy, then North Platte will again see the flush times that we had between 1882 and 1889. - With our quarter of a million acres or successiuiiy irrigated ands, with our farmers engaged in :he growing of fruits that will re turn them a large income, and with all the favorable locations on the uplands occupied by the small cat tle growers, wh will raise high grade animals that will bring gilt edge prices by reason of being fed corn and alfalfa hay before being shipped, we may look at matters from a hopeful and cheerful stand point. The esteemed secretary of agriculture may see a nigger in the wood pile as he eats his porter house, but we believe we can see a revival in the business of raising cattle in small herds that will re sult in great profit and prosperity to this section of Nebraska. Cattle-Grower. Nichols and Hershey Hews. A fine shower yesterday morning. Sunday school next Sunday at ten a. m. eastern time. Mrs. Xavier Toillion is attend ing to about 140 spring chickens at this writing. Several prairie schooners have passed down the line this week.

Fort, of North Platte, pre sident of the State Irrigation As sociation, will be in Ogalalla in the future for the purpose of organiz ing a committee whose business it will be to look especially to the interests of the counties along the U. P. Ry from North Platte west, and including the irrigated terri tory up the North Platte. His idea is to form a general organization to be assisted by sub-committees in each county, to work unitedly in building up the West Nebraska, interests by circulating advertising'' matter and answering inquiries of men seeking new homes in irrigated comunities, and all the assistance possible should be given to bring about its early consumation. Ogalalla News. Hungary presents a picture of, matrimonial bliss that has not been equaled elsewhere in modern times. Mr. and Mrs. Johann Szalhmary, of Zsombalga, have just celebrated the centenary of their marriage, and their friends were entirely at a loss as to what presents would be ap propriate. The dimond wedding is the seventy-fifth anniversary, and there is nothing left for the one hundredth anniversary. The hus band is 117 years old, and the wife 116. And still there are people who ;lieve that girls should not marry at the age of 16, nor boys at the ajre of 17. On June 5th, the ladies of Lincoln will issue a special edition of the State Journal, the proceeds of which go to the benefit of the Wesleyan University. It will be entirely different from the usual "Woman's Edition." There will be nrHrlp by such ladies as Mrs. John A. Logan, Miss Frances Willard, and a number of other very prominent women of the country. This great paper will be mailed, postpaid, to any address in the United States for only five cents.
