how long the infectiou will be com

is known howeyer that cows will car

years they become fortified against

Kills all Land Lease Legislation
The following dispatch to the World
Herald tvill greatly please a large num
ber of our readers who have feared
legislation on the lease question
Washington D C March 10 As
some uneasiness had been caused by
various propositions to revise the pub
lic land laws the house committee on
public lands today adopted the follow
ing resolution offered by Mr Mondell
of Wyoming
-Resolved 1 hat in order to dispone
of legislative suggestions which at
the present time the committee or the
congress js - not prepared to act upon
and to facilitate the consideration of
other important matters before the
committee all bills having for their ob
ject the general cession of the pubLc
domain to the states and territories or
the general leasing of the public graz
ing lands be disposed of by laying
same upon the table
KlSSES3SS3HesS8P83s
The citizens of Hooker county met
at Mullen on the 3d inst and adopted
resolutions against the passage of any
bill providing for the leasing of public
lands Nothing new was contained in
the resolutions beyond what has been
published heretofore except the follow
ing And we pledge ourselves not to
support any man for public office that
will work or vote for said bill
A number of our subscribers have
said they wished Ave could publish the
land office notices but the hard hearted
officials will not consent that we may
have some of the pie so we concluded
to do the next best thing and publish
the particulars at any rate and in
another column will be found the re
sult This paper goes farther than any
other and gives the essential facts for
all the district not this locality alone
To the best of our knowledge no other
paper in the Union publishes stich a
tableand we hope it will prove of bene
fit to all our readers

A Reply to Fairhead
Gallop Nebr March 13 1900
Editor News Democrat I saw in
our last weeks issuejt letter from my
friend and neighbor Mr Fairhead on
cattle stealing and how to stop it I
will agree with Mr Fairhead that cat
tle stealing must bex stopped but how
to stop it is the question We can
hardly blame a man when he sees the
penitentiary before him for a term of
from five to ten years if he uses any
means td escape for self preserv tion is
the first law of nature but how would
it be to look after our county officials
When a man is elected to an office of
public trust by the electors of a county
and is paid a liberal salary for his ser
vices if he sells out and lets a prisoner
escape or fails to prosecute to the best
of his ability such an officer is in my
opinion far worse than the thief and if
some of these cases were severely dealt
with by the people there would be les3
jail breaking and fewer criminals go
free on technical points
A vigorous enforcement of the law
and the punishment of- public offences
as well as private ones will do much to
remedy the trouble Lets here from
others Dan Webster
