left two white turnips at this office , last

feature is their immense size ; they two
weigh ten pounds.

Col. U.H.Easterday : "My observa
tion has been in years past , that wheat
properly stacked after harvest , and al
lowed to go through the natural curing
process , is more merchantable than when
thrashed and shipped to market direct
ly after cutting. 1 believe it will be to
the interest of all that wheat be stacked ,
as unquestionably if thrashed from the
shock it will sell at a heavy discount
under old wheat , as it will not be in ex
port condition. Tell the people that
is the farmers to stack their grain. "
In a case tried in this state , not long
ago , a real estate man claimed a com
mission , for the sale of a piece of land.
The defense was , that he had never
been employed by the owner of the
land , and that not having seen his name
advertised as such , he did not know that
be was a real estate dealer. The judge
decided that a real estate agent who
was not rustler enough to advertise ,
was not rustler enough to be entitled
to a commission. There is a little
moral connected with this true tale , but
owing to the high temperature of the
atmosphere , it is left for non advertis
ing real estate men , with an abundance
of time on their bauds to search out.
HAPPY REPUBLICAN VALLEY ?
Hon. J. C. Allen , secretary of state ,
returned from his old home at McCook
yesterday and in speaking of the con
dition of the Republican Valley , said :
"I wish you could see the change in
Western Nebraska. The Republican
valley and the country around McCook
will harvest the largest crop ever known
in the history of the state. Wheat will
average about 30 bushels to the acre ;
oats , rye and barley will be a magnifi
cent crop ; corn is a little backward , but
the sunshine the last few days has had
a wonderful effect , and the outlook DOW
is favorable for a large crop. I wish
you could see what a happy change has
taken place in the last few months.
The farmers and business men all wear
a broad smile. McCook , in Red Wil
low county , is located in what was call
ed last winter the burnt district. Well ,
to day she is in the midst of prosperity ,
and the out-look for McCook was never
so bright as at the present time. There
has not been a single failure in mercan
tile circles in McCook. The business
men and bankers have withstood the
drought and feel confident for better
times. "
"How about irrigation ? "
"Well , several large ditches are be
ing constructed this season. The city
of McCook a few weeks ago voted a
$10,000 irrigation bond to aid in the
construction of the large Meeker ditch.
The work has been pushed rapidly and
hundreds of farmers have had steady
work all the season. The Meeker ditch
when completed will irrigate thousands
of acres of land near McCook. The
price of farm land under the ditcn has
nearly doubled in value the past few
months. A distillery , canning factory
and paper mill are among the possibili
ties in the near future. McCook has a
splendid water system with about four
teen miles of water mains. The elec-
ric light plant cost $20,000 and is one
of the improvements that McCook feels
proud of , and with the large railroad
nterests that are located at McCook
her future is assured.
Our people in Red Willow county are
making arrangements to be represented
at the state fair this fall with a large
exhibit. "
"How about the alliance out there ? "
"Well they are too busy with the
nrifl nnfa fn rJounto miioli fi r.o tn
politics , still they are confident they
will elect all of the county officers this
fall. I understand that their meetings
are fairly well attended. Edgerton of
South Omaha seems to be the choice of
the alliance men out that way for asso
ciate justice. " State Journal.
TWO DIGITS LESS.
Otto Kunkel of Herndon , Kansas ,
now has two fingers less on his left
hand than he had yesterday morning.
Drs. Davis & Jones , ably assisted by
Prof. Wm. Valentine , yesterday after
noon , relieved him of the third and
fourth fingers of the injured hand re
ferred to , which accounts for the short
age. Otto , last Saturday , had a little
difficulty with a well boring machine ,
and come out of the trouble with a ter-
riblyfinashed hand. Lacking the nerve
to haye them promptly amputated he
deferred until yesterday afternoon the
imperative operation , and gangrene had
set in. Even after entering the doc
tors' office Otto's resolutions failed and
he fled. He was finally prevailed upon ,
and amidst much vigorous kicking he
was placed under the influence of chlor
oform and the fingers were skillfully
removed. The second finger may be
saved.

A PAINFUL INJURY.
Miss Minnie Johnston is suffering
with a painfully injured foot , all because
her calculations were not exact and she
thrust-the end of water
spear a sprink

stead of into the ground. The wound
is an ugly one , the spear head of the
sprinkler having penetrated clear
through the foot just back of the great
toe , but Miss Johnston is getting along
very well at this writing.
