Richards was breaking up his five acre lot last week and figures on plenty of "garden sass" this summer. What' the use of .going south when Nebraska land can be opened out in February. Mrs. E; A. Crosby was quite sick the latterpart of 'the week and a doctor from the county seat had to be called. At present she is much: better. Rev. Nichols., of Paxton, who has been conducting revival meetings in Sutherland for the past two weeks, has just received several barrels of aid and a draft for nearly $150 from the people of. Stanwood, Iowa, and yicinit'. The reverend gentleman says ihat although this is sent to the Methodist denomina tion he is instructed to use it where it is most needed, regardless of church creed, politics or color This is certainly charity of the right sort. C. B. McKinstry was a North Platte visitor the latter part of the week. Geo. Emerson came in from Waterloo on Saturday with a-.car. of emigrant movables. Mr. Emerson will soon be. a. resident of Suther-. land, as he has purchased a five acre tract west of the church and aspects to build at once. Mrs. M. E. Shoup is having her five-acre lot fenced. This ground wilLbe farmed by W. W. Jones in connection with his own lot adjoin ing on the west. A number of farmers south of t town have received small drafts from the church society at Marble Rock, Iowa. Care seems to have been given in regard to the selec tion, as all the receipients so far heard of are worthy people who are entitled to assistance. Simon Nordquist, Chas. Lengren and Joe Weir, of the west part of the county, passed down the line on their way to North Platte the middle of the week. . Gust Dringman plowed up the cemetery grounds and erected a neat fence around same last week. O. V. Coulter, now. of Ft. Collins, Colo., whp was. orie'of 'the first' settlers in this part of Lincoln county, writes to a friend here that a; ten pound voter arrived at their house on Saturday, March 2d.

McClain, of Keith county was on our streets the first of the week. . 'Dame Rumor has it that D. Law ler, of Paxton, will farm some ditch, land near Sutherland this sqinmen J). S. McConnell, Jo McConnell, Gus Gunderson and Messrs. Swan son and Linden have also rented farms under the ditch, Mrs. John Coker spent part of last week in Keith county visiting friends. John Keith was on our streets the latter part of the week. A small ledge ot rock in the cut north of town will probably delay thefinishing touches on the work a week .longer than was anticipated, but nothing short of a deluge will prevent water from flowing the full length of the ditch insiee of the next two or three weeks. . . From Keighboring Exchanges John Bratt who is interested in a big ditch .which runs through Deuel county, on the north river bottom, was in town Monday looking after his interest.--Chappell Register. According tp the Cozad News. J. W. Ringling, one of the proprie tors of Ringling Bros, circus, was in town Thursday on his "vfay laj put tlieir Nebraska route for this year, At a recent public sale in Platte county one team of 'mules brought $190, another $200, a team of mares $215, a colt $55, a big horse $35, binder $65. The man "holding the sale realized $2,300 for his stuff, and received more than half in hard cash. A couple of Grand Island gentle men were in Custer county last week and report winter wheat in in excellent condition. It is not out of the ground but the seed is sprouting finely and is in a very healthy state, The farmers in that vicinity having winter wheat are full of hope for a good crop. Beatrice Democrat: The bonded indebtedness of Kearney is quoted ! at. $287,000, involving an interest cost of $47.18 cents daily, and that I the total xlaily expenses of the city reaches the sum of 200. The day is cpmiag when the soft soft south breezes will -waft her away like a puff ball of the cotton which she is supposed to manufacture into cloth."' ' An estimate made after a canvass ot-VYjllow island wseemcujJmMaoji county, sbowed-thatabot one-third of the, farmer need- feed. The amount of seed needed for the pre cinct was estimated' as follows: Wheat, 1200bu.cprn 20abu.; oats, 300 bu.; potatoes 50 buj- Hay . (for feed) 20 tons.; corn, (formfeed) 1200 bu. Quoth the'; Chappelh Register: "The Rebecca lodge I. O. O. F. has appropriated $20.00 towards pay ing freight on. seed to be. shipped into this country for the needy. We understand the subordinate lodge I. O. O. F. are talking of donating a. sum for the same purpose. The Register believes that money en ough could be raised by subscrip tion witH the heJp'vof the county to buy seed tor those who are unabje to procure it in no other way. A If the county would donate what it would cost to hold an elec tion, to pay freight with, a great many of our: farmers have triends east who would donate the-seed; in: f act 5:weibeiiey-several" carloads could be secured in this way, pat ting it altogether pretty near en ough seed and feed would be on the ground to supply the demand. One commissioners district in -Perkins county secured enough seed in this way a crop all their improved lauds." IRRIGATION NOTES. Don't let the irrigation fever, cool down because we had a good warm rain in February but push right on. If we have ever so much rain this season it ought not to slacken our energies a particle, for the time of great need for irrigation will be up on us before our ditchers and res ervoirs, are ready; 'Kimball Ob server.

We have also received a letter from the publishers of- the Irrigation Age in which they state that they have no-confidence in the plant, and they fear it is not a good thing to waste time-with. Keith County News. o" M. A. Daugherty came up Friday for a short visit. 'He' is" watching the Aker's irrigation bill in 'the house, and hopes 4o see it become' a law at an early day. He will then at once begin organizing an irriga tion district- on the North river which will include a large portion ot the land on the bottom belong ing to the Big Springs Land & Cattle company, and will run as far east as the qlf stone ranch north of town, covering no' less than 15,000 or 20,000 acres of good tillable land. Other districts will also probably be organized at once. Ogalalla News. The election in Qpzad precinct on Saturday last upon the proposition to issue $10,000 in bonds in aid of the Cozad Irrigation Company re sulted in the defeat of the bonds. Only 169 votes" werp polled, of which 94 were in favor ofthe bonds and 75 against them. In a bond elec tion of this kind 'it requires two thirds of all the votes cast to be in favor of the (bopdspr the same to carry, and in tjus.case the bond sup porters fell short just nineteen votes. Ttte- irrigatioii ycompany is very wroth over'-the result, claim ing to have been promised the bonds, and that a3 number of the leading people of the town of Cozad "went back on their word." Last Monday all of the workmen on the canal were taken offaaft discharged, and there is Tlddd-upon" the moon. A citizen of; Cozad informed the Pioneer scribe "that certain parties, in the town demanded; boodle to'the amount of $1,500 froni the irrigation company,, and because their "offer was spurned'f hey voted arid worked against the Ixmds, and succeeded in knocking them out, Another source of information states the reason the WE PAY CASHlOO CENTS ON THE DOLLAR AND SELL--CHEAPER ,THAN A YHdUiNrTH& CITYrT EEMIFS SLAUGHTER SALE--1895.

A- representative has been sent to Minneapolis, Minn., to consult with some of the largest stockholders in the enter prise, and until returns are received from there it will be impossible to say what the outcome will be. It is probable, however that the canal will be completed, as the company have expended too much money al ready to warrant it dropping the work now. Dame, ruinec has it that another bondelection will be called in the near future, and 'that those who fought the bonds last Saturday have agreed, boodle or no boodle, to give them their hearty support. Lexington Pioneer. TOP HEAVY SCHOOLS. During the discussion of the dis trict appropriation bill in the sen ate recently, says the Washington Post, Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island moved: to strike out the appropria tion of $100,000 for a new building and site, for the Business High school,- andTamend ""so- as to make the clause read: "To enable , the commissioners ot . the District lot Columbia to afford better facilities for elementary and industrial edu cation in the District of Columbia, $100,000.'-' In speaking to this amendment, which he favored, Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire, without express ing a decided opinion one way or the other as to whether or not there should be a Business High school attached to the common school sys tem of the District, said: 'Although my inclination is to vote for every, proposition that looks to a better education of the children of this country, and, al though I feel unwilling at this moment to vote to strike down a business college, a business high school or an industrial school, or a high school of any kind, yet I am inclined to think that it is an open question worthy of consideration by congress and the American peo ple, whether there is not danger that we are carrying the common school system and education there under too high and too far; whether it may not come to be advisable to restrict the common school system of the country to such schools as are required by the great mass of the children, and not to extend that system by high schools, in dustrial schools and by business schools to a small class of the child ren of the country in order to give them a higher and bettor education t!ia.n is given to the great body of the children of the country." In these remarks a great question is opened. It is whether the gov-, eminent, as Gail Hamilton states the proposition, should bestow as a free gift the luxuries of a higher education, or limit its support to the requirements of what is com monly understood as a common school or rudimentary education. A great deal can be said in behalf of a business course of schooling which does not apply to a classical or collegiate course, but the danger is, and is coming to be. pretty generally -recognized, that in en.r larging, or rather elaborating the educational facilities of the public schools far the benefit of the com paratively few, we may not in some way detract from the thoroughness and completeness of the facilities which belong as a right to th.e nany or in other words., give to non. essenti&ris oyer, essentials an undue prominence. The point was well "ECOHOTCT IS WEAECH," ALFALFA, - POTATOES,, CORN AND HAY will make this country prosperous. Buy your Seeds of Harrington & Tobin.

The first and most important end to be attained by this expenditure is, or should be, to give every child in the state-the advantage of a soifind rudimentary trainincr. The fMipifc ouffht to be taugrht to read 4 iritelliirently, to write legibly, to understand arith metic, and to have a general know ledge of geography. It will aston ish any person who will take the trouble to make an investigation to see how few of the graduates of even the higher grades in the com riioiLschools can read, write, spell and cipher withvapy- degre? of facility or accuracy. The whole tendency of common school instruc tion seems to be to jump over proper rudimentary instruction and to make up in high school, varnish for the lack ot more solid acquire ment." ' " , What our esteemed Philadelphia contemporary has observed as to the deficiencies of many graduates of the higher schools is readily appreciable to all who will take the trouble to inquire into the subject, it is true here"!in the District of Columbia, as it is in the city of Philadelphia. It is true of the best public schools of the country, among which the district schools hold prominent rank. So that with out questioning the value ot the accomplishments to be obtained in the higher schools by those who can afford the time te become their beneficiaries, there is reason to doubt the wisdom of any policy that tends to broaden at the tp while, narrowing at the foundation. It is safe to assert as the opinion of a great majority of all intelligent educators, and friends of education that if we would strengthen our common school system' to its ut most capacity and extend its use fullness to the widest limits possi ble, we must neglect nothing to popularize it in the minds of the people at large.. It is the rudimental instruction imparted at these schools through which the greatest good accrues to the greatest number. It is the fundamental training here received for the better dis charge of'the duties and responsi bilities of life that most indissolu- bly knits the commdn sdiool system to the confidence, respect and last ing; gratitude of our American youth, and year by year enrolls them bv thousands and, tens of thousandramong its stanchest and 'most uncompromising defenders. Too much care cannot be taken not to weaken the base of this mag nificent systent'by anything in the natureof.auit superstructure.

The trouble in growing with other grain is the same as with timothy or red clover. In the same.way in any dry climate it is apt to be killed out by the hot dry weather generally prevailing at harvest time, as the young, tender, shade-protected plants are at once laid .bare to the sun. In a moist climate there would be no danger, as frequent rains at that time are probable.
