Another fine rain visited this lo
cality last Saturday evening
Mrs. R. "W. Calhoun and two
little children in company with
Mrs. Conway and little daughter
visited on the north side this week.
Several grangers are irrigating
their corn at this writing.
The lateral that R. TV. Calhoun
and Will Brooks constructed on
"Wednesday this week was so
crooked that it required one man
to escort the water down the same
and he came yery near loosing
himself in the attempt.
The section men of this place
were at the Flatte Wednesday after
their monthly income from the rail
way company.
H. W. Brown who had been look
ins: after business in McPherson
county the past weeK or so returned
home last Wednesday.
D. W. Baker, of North Platte, is
looking after the water in the F. &
M. canal this week.
Sod corn, as a general rule in the
valley, is the finest ever known for
this season of the year.
Russian thistles have- recently
been discovered in the vicinity of
Hershey, and also on the south side.,
Rev. Franklin preached to the
people of Hershey and vicinity last
Sunday evening.
Misses Ware and Beach will teach
in the Sisson district the coming
year. One will teach in the school
house, and the other in Wm. Por
ter's residence in the hamlet of
Hershey.
Rev. Finch, we understand, has
closed his meeting in the Platte
Valley school-house without per
fecting an organization in the val
ley. We have been informed that
he is now holding meetings in North
Platte.
Wm. Porter who taught school in
the Sisson district last year and re
sided in the village of Hershey, will
teach at Sutherland the coming
year; so we were informed a few
days ago.
Wm. H. Sullivan visited Suther
land on business some days since.
Spring grain in the valley " will
soon do to harvest, and is far above
the average. . :
A majority of the farmers in this
locality have laid their corn by for
this season.
Most of the fall grain up along
the line, which is an excellent crop,
is in the shock.
Don't forget that next Sunday
evening is Rev. Graves' regular ap-.
pointment at Hershey.
Miss Nettie Cammack of Salem,
Iowa, who taught the school at thisj
place last year will teach it again
the coming season, greatly to the
satisfaction of a large majority of
both the parents and pupils in the
district.
Since water has been turned into
the F. & M. canal travel along the
highway leading along the railroad
has been suspended and turned
over on the country road just north
of the railroad. The cause for this
is that there is no bridge across
the canal where it passes Under the
railroad and as the same is not a
public Highway a bridge will not be
constructed over it at that point.
Several North Platte parties have
been "taking in the sights" along
the canals in the valley this week.
Mr. and Mrs. George White, who
had twin daughters born to them
sometime in May, buried one of
them shortly after their birth and
the other last week. The bereaved
parents have the sympathy of the
entire comunity in this their sad
hour of trouble.
Garden "truck," owing to the
large amount grown this season, is
hardly worth taking to market.
Nearly everyone has enough, and
to spare.
We learn from different pasts of
the county that both democrats and
pops, as well as republicans, are
daily flocking to the support of I.
B. Bostwick for sheriff this fall.
The reason that they all assign for
so doing is that they, regardless of
party, think him "the right man for
the right place." Pat.

Kearney Hub.
The Hub commends the enter
prise of the public spirited men of
North Platte and Lincoln'county to
the old time hustlers of this city.
The North Plaife people are out
with a beautiful pamphlet entitled
"Where the Platte Forks," devoted
to the story of alfalfa, corn, fruit
and potatoes, and making one of
the finest immigration documents
ever published in the west. The
live communities are all moving,
and it behooves Kearney to again
strike the gait.
Kearney is behind a number of
towns in the state so far as the
activity of her bloomer bicyclists
are concerned. Grand Island has
had a ladies' club for some time.
North- Platte, ladies organized a
club last week and are going to be
right in the push. The Hub has no
idea that Kearney wheelwoman
will permit themselves to be eclipsed

Weekly wetther-crop bulletin
No. 15, for the iveek ending JuljT 15,
furnished by fee Agricultural de
partment, is as follows: "The
,.veelc h.as beeiy.cjqpl anebcloudy, the
temperattirej;ahging from but
slightly' pelowSjhe normal at the
eastejcii end of 'fife state to thirteen
degrees below the normal in the
western. Ijighff rosts were general
in the northern part of the state on
the momitfgs ofethe 8th and 9th,
but the damage, was very slight.
The rainfalMias been heavy along
the southern border of the state
from Nuckolls county westward,
amounting." lo more than in inch
from Polk and Hamilton counties
southward'and westward. In the
southeastern cprner of the state the
rainfall was very meagre, and the
need of more rain is'urgent. In the
northeastern section the rainfall has
Lbeen less .than normal, but the
ground isstill moist and crops are
not suffering. The harvesting of
small grain has made good progress
during the. week. The yield varies
much in different cases, but is gen-
5.
erally light in the southern part of
the state and heavy in the north
eastern. Chinchbugs are doing
considerable damage in the south
eastern corner of the state. Owing
to the cool weather the corn has
made butunoderate growth during
the week.; The leaves have gener
ally rolled somewhat during the day
but not in a way to injure it. Early
corn is beginning to tassel over the
state generally, while some of the
late corujis still quite small."
. According" to the returns of
the
-
Lincoln assessor there is but one
"v ? '
bicycle in the city, and that one is
owned by Dr. Simmons. The real
number of wheels in the limits of
the' assessor's bailiwick is put down
as 3,000$ and their average cost
price $100 each. It is quite pos
sible that the discrepancy between
this fact and the assessor's returns
lies intbe condition ot the bikes.
As is : well known a majority of
.bicycles .are purchased on time, and
he would-.be .owner, .having never
made the final payment, does not
I hold that-JtKetitle is in him. The
bicycle dealer, on the contrary, in
givingjn the ljst of his personal
property, Ayould not readily return
a wheel or wh eels that he had every
reason to believe were sold. Thus
the bike becomes lost in the shuffle.
The same condition exists with
typewriters, which are also sold on
idmepayments.
A Mr. Allison, of Chicago, repre
senting a large dry goods house of
that city, was in North Platte yes
terday. He is firmly of the opinion
that some of the "boodlers" of the
Windy city stand an excellent
chance of breaking: into the state

Oannot Use State Land-
From the Lincoln Journal.
A dispute has arisen relative to
the rights of irrigation companies
to cross state land without paying
for right of way. Many companies
occupy school lands with ditches
and propose to obtain right of way
regardless of compensation. This
right is claimed under section 40 of
the general irrigation law passed
last winter, which reads:
All persons, companies, corpora
tions, or associations being desir
ous of constructing any of the works
provided for in the preceding sec
tions, shall have the right to occupy
state lands and to obtain right of
way over and through any highway
in any county in this state for such
purposes without any compensation
therefor.
It is now claimed that this sec
tion is unconstitutional, being in
contradiction of section 18 of the
constitution which says: "Land
under the control of the state shall
never be donated to railway com
panies, private corporations or in
dividuals." Section 15, setting
forth prohibited special legislation,
places within the prohibited list
the "granting to any corporation,
association, or individual, any
special or exclusive privileges, im
munity or franchise whatever."
According" to a recent decision of
the dis.tHct court of Iincoln county
an irrigation company enjoys the
right of eminent domain, and,there
f ore, can obtain right of way across
state land the same as a railroad
company, but must pay the ap
praised value to the state, notwith
standing section 40 of the
general
irrigation law. Quite a number of
irrigation companies occupy state
land, and the board of educational
lands and funds is liable to demand
an accounting at any time.
One peculiarity of section 40 of
the irrigation law is that it is so
constructed as to be interpreted as
really meaning, that an irrigation
company can occupy state land
without the company's demanding
"compensation therefor." No com
pany has so far demanded pay for
occupying the state's land.
