Hiohols and Hershey News. House cleaning days have come, the saddest of the year. Corn planting is well under way. Buffalo gnats are on the war path, greatly, to the discomfort of 'both" man and beast. Ditch superintendent Seeberger of the Platte, and ditch rider Loker, were looking after ditch business in this locality the fore part of the week. W. J. Crusen, of the hub. will preach at this place nest Sunday at the usual hour. Agent Smith is again manipulating the k'eys at Hershey after a visif wilfi friends and relatives in Denver. W. M, Baskins, a North Platte butcher, paid Wm. H. Sulliuan $33 for a fat cow recently. H. "W.. Brown returned to the ranch the first of the week on business. He is expected back to-day or to-morrow. Corn that was planted the fore end of last week is coming in fine shape. The person Vho thinks for a moment that this valley has not improved much within, the past eighteen month's ought to take a trip through it. There has been over fifty new residences erected between Pallas and Sutherland within that time. The "dicker" between the Hershey townsite company and a man by the name of Keith, of Wellfleet, who was talking of putting a stock of goods into the company's building in that hamlet has collapsed, so we were informed a couple of days ago, and that the com pany was now negotiating with partips from Elsie for the same purpose. The Patterson & Alexander ditching gang having completed their part of the work on the lateral connecting7 the Pax- ton & Hershey and the Farmer's & Mer chants canals, are now at work finishing up their contract on the west end of the Farmer's & Merchant's canal which will only take a short time. About thirty prairie schooners have passed up the line so far this week. Rev. Graves will preach to the citizens of Hershey next Sunday evening at the usual hour. The box off an old broken down wagon standing on the bank of the old ditch near where the O'FalloniJateral connects with the main canal, was thrown into the main ditch by one or more "hood lums" the first ot the week, which floated down against the check at the junction of the main canal and the lateral, darn ing up the water so that it overflowed the bank and went down the lateral some distance so that it was almost im possible to work on the lateral at that point for several days. There are a set of toughs throughout this country who will without a doubt be brouglit to justice sooner or later. The remains of a brother of Mrs. Veach's who came to her home recently from Iowa for his health, and who died at her home in this precinct Monday night, were taken to tbe county seat for interrment on Wednesday. The high wind on Friday night last week, unroofed W. H. Minney's resi dence. The anticipated erection of a M. E 'church and a high school building, are among the many rncertainties for the hamlet of Hershey this season. . Another man has lately been added to the section gang at this place and also at Hershey. H. C. Nesbitt, of the county seat, took a spin over tbe country on a wheel last Sunday. Henry Layton and sister "Dane," of Brady Island, passed down the line two or three days since on their way home from a visit in Keith county. We understand that a base ball team has lately been organized at Hershey. Sam Funkhouser, Ed. Kelly and EvorettWare have been manipulating tho ditcher upon the extension of the O'Fallon lateral lately. Tho work is drawing to a close. The lumber of the bridges spanning the Farmers & Merchants ditch and. laterals has arrived and work on the same will begin at once. Ben McMichael, of the Platte, is con structing bridges for tho Farmer's & Merchant's ditch company in this pre- cinot. The old ditch company is putting in measurement boxes at each lateral,along the ditch Pat. Maxwell Melange. Several persons are busy planning corn. " T. Hanrahan and J. Ijewis went to North Platte one day last week. Mjsses EHeq McCuUough " and Pearl Snyder, who were visiting in North Platte, have returned homo. Mrs. McNaMarra was ill last Monday. John Harrigan is busy plowing, and getting readdy to make his garden. Andy Workman and E. DeLaney went to North Platte last week. A few of bis North Platte friends visited our new store keeper last Sunday. Among them were Mr. and Mrs Joe Schatz. Mr. and Mrs. Long, of Gannett, with Misses Purdy and Caress i and Mr. Mc Grue, of North Platte, spent last Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Kenworth. The croquet ground near Mr. Nugent's store is the center of attraction. Hike O'Brien anct Piilboney:"-of-North Platte, passed last Sunday on their wsy to Brady Island.'? Mr. Meyers of Gothsnbnrg, was a Maxwell visitor last Monday. He has had one of hih eyes badly hurt by being kicked by a horse which he was trying to hold. Our literary society which was com menced by Mr. Myers last November, closed April 27th, not -to commence again until the second Saturday of next October. The school near Mr. Holcombs, taught bv William Dolan, closed two weeks ago. Willie is lonesome after his little scholars. There is not much news, this week. "The weather" is the principal topic of conversation. Mrs. McNaMarra's garden has com mencedto grow since the, rain of April 29th, and still that wind-mill keeps turn ing "'round and 'round." Miss Alma Wicklund who has been living here for over fi year, returned to. her home in Gothenburg last Sunday night. ' J " . CrATiK. in wounds then heal over with least injury, When the trees are denuded of foliage, as in winter, an abundance of wood is a benefit, since it furoisBIs that much more shade for the treea.tfprksad' stems, and that much more starch "and stored material is in them for the vital part? of the tree to draw upon during tho ex hausting extreme of winter and tempera" ture. The recent rains so general ovar Kan sas, Nebraska and and eastern Colorado' havo thrown the farmers of these states off their guard, and fronxthe appearance oE things at this time, it looks as if they were laying their plans for another crop failure for the coming season. Extensive preparations were boipg made in all parts of the couutry fpr irrigation ditches and pumping plants with which to mature, and grow props the coming summer, but since the recent rains, everything has dropped, and a great many are going to trust to the elements Tor another season. This is a great mis take, for even a month of hot, dry weather will entirely ruin good prospects, and even though it may seem a little . 1 hard to go to the expense of building a canal or putting in a numping plant this season, it will pay you, if it does not en tirely Bave you. Tbe satisfaction of knowing your crop is assured should be sufficient inducement for you to go ahead if nothing else but the chances are ten to one that it will pay you this year. It is only a question of a few years more when the old states back east will turn to the new west The forests are being taken away year by year and sawed up into lumbor, and as each one goes the water supply decreases. The old springs and creeks are now almost dried up and a cry is, already raised by the farmers in the summer for rain This cry is increasing year by year. The soil is entirely worn, out, the fordsts nearly all goue, while over the "Great American Desert" we are planting forests and turning on the mountain streams to give them life. Here the!soil can never be worn out,, and is each year increasing in value. Real estate Values all over the east have depreciated fully 333 per cent during the last ten years and are grad u ally sinking lower. Nothing better cat ever be expected hr6the. east, while in the west everything- is possible. Why not immigrate now? Ex-Superintendent otthe Census Por ter comes to the rescue of those who are complaining of the inaccuracy of the latest New York census by giving expert testimony to the fact that it is plainly stuffed. He says the only way to get an accurate census is to have the enum eration performed under properly and specially organized supervision by men chosen for that very purpose. The man ifest inaccuracy of tffe two censuses taken by the New York police is, he in rists, substantial confirmation of the census of 1890, taken under bis adminis tration and against which NewYork York protested so loudly.

Items Prom 'Arid America." A lesson is taught us by the record made by the farmers of Utah. The average noidings or xnese iarmers is acres. Yet, when they wanted, two a A years ago, a Deet sugar manuiaciory they banded together and bought one with their own money.;" They did not borrow a cent, nor did they bond it, but I paid cash for it with money taken from their small farms,- so small as to be looked upon with disdain by the average Colorado farmer. Small farms well tilled are the money-makers. Fall is not the proper, time nor the time preferred forpraning. The time when the trees are the least injured is Mav or early m June, when the Americans are warned by John A. Cockerill, in one of his letters to the New York Herald, that foreigners will not receive much benefit directly from the development of Japan. The natives have become so deeply impressed with their own ability-, that wthey will, them selves undertake the building of rail ways, the erection of factories and the construction of new vessels. No fran chises of any foreigners. kind are to bo given to Possibly no master mariner in any trade has saved so many lives as Captain Hans Doxrud, the commander of the Red Star steamship Switzerland, trading between Philadelphia and Antwerp'. While yet a young man, he has saved the lives of eighty-three persons, who were rescued from nine sinking vessels. Four gold medals have been awarded him, together with a binocular glass of rare design and power. King Oscar II. of Sweden and Norway awarded him a gold medal for rescuing the crew of fourteen men from a Binking Norwegian vessel. The English government awarded a gold medal for saving the crew of tbe bark Juan of Salcombe, and the Belgian govern mont a medal for having rescued the orew of a sinking Belgian fishing craft. .The New York Humane Associa tion, also gave him a gold medal for heroism in rescuing the crew of a vessel when he was an officer of the steamship Noordland, and binocular glasses were awarded for saving tho crew of the British brig Ibis. In view of the fact that the Chinese governor is reported to have cut the dikes and flooded tho countrv around Pekin, with the object of checking any possibility of a Japanese advance upon the capital, it may be of interest to state that the Europeans and Americans in the threatened city number about 250, and consist only of such persons as are in enjoyment of special privileges, name ly, the members of the Diplomatic Corps, and of certain missionary so cieties, besides (he members of tbe Cen tral Chinese Customs Administration under Sir Robert Hart. The Americans are mostly missionaries and are stated to include twenty-one women. -AT THE- Star Clothing, House.

Since March 27tn a Plainview firm has purchased 60,000 dozen eggs, paying therefor $5,400. The rivers of Nebraska are higher than they have been in the past two years. It has rained. The Grand Island district of country reports the finest crop conditions that have existed for many years at this sea son. The Sterling Sun boasts that Johnson county has a field of rye that stands three feet high in its stockings. It is crowding the season. Calvin Butler, a young colored man who made his home in Norfolk last sum mer, was drowned at Marshalltown, la., last week while attempting to cross a stream in a wagon. B. Bade, proprietor of the Niobrara packing house, received the following dressed beef contracts for the ensuing year: Yankton agency, 250,000 pounds at 85.67 per cwt.; Santee agency, 76,000 pounds at $5.63 per cwt.; Ponca agency, 7,000 pounds per cwt. Here is one upon an old timer who has wrought in this city at divers periods about delinquent tax-list time: "Tom Crebbs, a typographical tourist of thirty years' experience, is making his biennial circuit of Nebraska towns, and 'touching' his friends for enough to keep the 'can' a-rusbing. There is nothing mean about about Tom, but he and work have had a permanent falling out." The home patronage idea in tbe em ployment of teachers is being discussed in Kearney. The Hub wisely says the I "foreign" teacher who is in the business as a profession is better than tho homo teacher who holds a high school diploma and desires only to tide over the hiatus between graduation and matrimony. The officers of the Nebraska weather bureau are preparing to make complete reports on all the severe storms that occur in the state during the present season. In order that their reports may be complete and accurate they ask the assistance of all citizens under whoso observations ariy storms of unusual severity may happen to fall. They desire to know tho location and direction of motion of tho storm, its appearance, the amount of rainfall accompanying it, the amount of damage done, and any other facts that might be of interest. Ne braska is fortunately so far out of tho track of violent tornadoes that few se vero storms are likely to be reported during the season, but when one does occur public spirited citizens will, no doubt see that the weather bureau is supplied with the full, details. J.ournaJ As might have been anticipated; a de nial is made of the wonderful story of Indiana triplets named after tbe mem bers of President Cleveland's family and the receipt by the happy father of a draft for 8500 in recognition of tbe pres ident's gratification over the compliment. If the impression intended to be created by this fiction should gain ground, name ly, that there is a standing ofier of a like sum for each repetition of the cirenm stances, tbe whole country might soon be populated with small namesakes of the Cleveland family.
