The person Vho thinks for a moment

The "dicker" between the Hershey
townsite company and a man by the

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.

When the trees are denuded of foliage,
as in winter, an abundance of wood is a
benefit, since it furoisBIs that much

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

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

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. Bee. "

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.

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

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.

Nebraska Notes.
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. Bee.
