Entered at the North Platte (Kebrasks)postoffloe as
Beoond-classmatter.
Now it is stated that the
Ugcn.
trust, which was so omnipotent in
the passage of the Wilson bill con
fidently expects its product to reach
six cents a pound before preserving"
season the coming summer. Great
is democratic tariff reform.
The ability of "On Dit" as the
North Platte correspondent of the
Wallace Herald lies in his great
skill in the use of the figure of
hyperbole. His denial of the pa
ternity of his production is as weak
as the remainder of his epistle to
the unwashed of Wallace.
It is hoped that those who are
not acquainted with the variety of
wheels in Colonel Hill's head will
judge by his-belabored article that
all republicans in Lincoln county
are candidates for office. The Col
onel's imagination knows no bounds
and occasionally gets the better of
his judgment.
According to- the new constitu
tion which has been submitted to
the people of Utah, eight citizens
.will constitute a trial jury, three
fourths of whom will establish the
verdict. This is breaking away
from precedent in a manner com
mensurate with a republican form
of government, and could be profit
ably adopted by all the older states.
o
Michigan has passed an anti
treating law and the Chicago Inter
Ocean chronicles the fact as an ad
vanced piece of temperance legisla
tion. Here in Nebraska it has been
upon the statute books for years,
and is wholly unrecognized. If it
proves as inoperative among the
Michiganders as it does with the
Treeplanters it had better have
been left unenacted.
The remains of Mrs. Ida R. Not-
son, the woman who attempted to
cut something of a figure in state
politics a year ago, a la Mrs. Lease,
were found last Thursday after
noon in the muddy waters of the
murky Missouri. Circumstances
pointed the fact that she had
murdered her two small children by
attaching them to her body with
ropes and a strap.and then deliber
ately jumped into the river. Un
doubtedly it was an insane action
prompted bv the same desire of
notoriety which inspired Guitean.
The spoilsmen in the ranks of
the free silver democrats and the
populists in Nebraska are advocat
ing in the party organ in Omaha a
union of the two organizations.
What the offspring would be is hard
to determine. In any event the
voting strength of the two would
not be increased, for to a man the
free silver demmies last fall voted
for your Uncle Silas and the rest of
the ticket; and the only thing that
pulled the head through (although
it appears to have destroyed the
mother, i. e. the pop party) was the
fact that his opponent had a vulner
able record.
-o
Now it is reported that Senator
Akers of Scotts Bluff county will
refuse to accept the assistant sec
retaryship of the State Board of
Irrigation. It is to be hoped the
report is well founded. It is the
proper thing for Senator Akers to
dbL His PTnmnlp should alcr "ho
followed by every other member of
the legislature who has been tend
ered appointments or are already
filling appointments in the gift of
state executive officers. The f ram
ers of our constitution did not con
template that members of the legis
lature should fill state appointments
during the terms for which they are
elected. Bee.
From your uncle Silas' old; home
imthe kingdom of high Custer ac
cording to the Bow Republican
comes the following wail: "If Gov.
Holcomb's ears did not. burn last
Saturday niht during the session
of the Broken Bow pop club meet
ing, it was not for lack of personal
attacks made upon him, by leading
members of his own party. The
question for consideration was, 'To
th?e victor belongs the spoils. Not
a few of the Caster-county pops are
disappointed because either they or
some cf their friends, for whom
th'ey have been working, and have
not secured a position through the
governor with a handsome salary.
The advocates of the negative of
the question, except Mrs. Shroat,
failed to put in an appearance, ahG
a motion was taken to defer the
discussion of the subject, but the
audience voted 'in favor of proceed
ing: with, the discussion. Bein;r
forced as it were into it, the speak
ers made a personal matter of it,
and turned their batteries to a oer-
sdnal attack bnGovernor Holcomb,
for appointing' democrats and a
republican to positions under his
control." .
According to the Lincoln Journal
our own and only "Cap" Akers is
very wroth that he was not ap
pointed state irrigation secretary,
and intimated that he would not
play second fiddle by accepting the
nnsition of assistant. It is dimes to
doughnuts that he will re-enact the
role of the old maid, who in response
to the supposed mterrogatory-
"anyone, good Lord!'' However
1. hat he may be allowed to
remain in the same e of heat, as
it is verv probable tnat ne cot je
knocked out of the place by quo
warrant proceedings, on account of
his havincr been a member of the
legislature whicli passed the bill
creating the position. It is indirect
violation of the constitution.
A funny feature of the deals
made last week on the Chicago
Board of Trade to which in a
measure is attributed the raise in
the price of wheat was the novel
spectacle of a great many actual
farmers present actively engaged
in "bulling" the market by buying
everything in sight A couple -of
them at the close of business on
Tuesday stood together and figured
up their day's profit's at $5450.
This beats irrigation all hollow, yet
it is not the first time in the his
tory of the Chicago Board of Trade
when the lambs have come in fresh
from bucolic fields, and after being
allowed to accumulate a good crop j
of wool for a few days.have quietly
wended their way homeward shorn.
The Omaha Bee serves notice
upon the hysterical individuals in
Douglas county that are afflicted
with Rosewaterphobia 'a malady
similar to me raoiesj tnat a year
hence it will not wink at the nomi
nation of republican incompetents
for the legislature, or those who do
not have the good of the city and
state at heart. It gives as its rea
son for silence last fall as due to
the fact that a United States sena
tor was to be elected in Nebraska
and it would not risk the chances of
sending another Allen to the
national legislatue. Next year
there is no such an issue, and the
admonition is certainly timely.
Eighty per cent of Nebraska's
army of hungry and howling pops
were recruited from the ranks of the
republican party. The democratic
contingent is small, but the
ernor is a part oi ,it, and nis ap

still pulsates for the crowd that
was fast to letrgo of the doctrine of
state sovereignty.'and the dogma of

May Die More Trouble In Routt Coun
ty Expected Details of the Af
fair Are Meager.
Red Cliff, Colo., May 27. The first
open rupture in the much talked of
teep and cattlemen's war in Routt
unty has occurred, and four men are
badly wounded, two of whom may die
of their injuries. The news was brought
by a messenger who came for medical
assistance. Tne messenger could give
but few datails of the affair. The follow
ing are the casualties resulting from it:
William Matna, received on forehead
a long gash made with a quiet, and was
out in tho ribs with a knife.
Alex Win'slow, received a cut back of
tho left ear ranging downward; also ono
across tho neck nearly severing the artery
windpipe.
Tom Dirs, out on back of tho neck and
badly beaten over the eyes.
John "Winslow, cut several times in tho
back with a heavy knife.
The scene of the encounter was at a
Pmt
miles above Wolcotfe, on the
Hheephorn. Wolcott is a station on the
Denver and Rio Grande railway, and is
the starting point for stages running to
Steamboat Springs, 80 miles north. For
several days a collision between sheep
men and cattlemen has not been unex
pected. The bitterness between the
two factions has been growing, and the
feeling is so intense that fighting is ex
pected at many points.
The trouble between the sheepmen
and cattlemen is the same that caused
so much trouble in western Colorado
last year. The sheepmen, principally
from Wyoming and Montana, insist on
driving their herds through Routt coun
ty as far south as Wolcott, where they
expect to ship the sheep by rail to east
ern markets. The cattlemen oppose this
drive, saying it is only a ruse to get the
sheep into Routt county for grazing
purposes. Last week the cattlemen, 850
in number, met at Steamboat Springs
and unanimously resolved to keep tho
sheepmen out, if necessary, by force.
CATTLE THIEVES IN THE TOILS.
Operations of a. Daring and Murderous
Gang Brought to a Stop.
St. Louis, May 27. The thrilling
story of the operations of a daring and
murderous gang of cattle thieves, in-,
festing Maries county, came to light at
the Four Courts by the lodging in jail
for the night of Louis Daniels, aged 20
years. He was brought to the city by
Sheriff Doyle.
Daniels' home is in Spring Creek,
Maries county, and he is the soion of. &
good family. He was arrested in Ship- .
man on a charge of being a member"
the thieving gang which terrorized-'.
Maries county for months. Cattle was'
their chief plunder. The gang, accord-:
ing to the information the authorities
of that place have, was composed of 12f
men. Some of the best citizens of
Maries county were involved. At night ;
the gang sallied forth from the meeting;
place to "roundup" aU cattle fonnd
loose. They were driven to a secluded
spot, where a slaughter house had been
erected. The beef was quartered up
and got into a condition to be shipped
to St. Louis and other large cities to be
sold.
The disappearance of hundreds of
cattle finally aroused the farmers, and
they organized to hunt down the thieves.
One morning a well known citizen of
Maries county disappeared mysterious
ly. A search for him resulted in tho
finding of his body, and the condition
he was in revealed that he had met with
foul play. The Investigation that fol
lowed led to the finding of the slaughter
house in the hills, not far from where
the body of the murdered man had been
found. Further investigation led to the
arrest of a justice of the peace of Maries
county and five other men equally as
prominent. Daniels is said to be the
seventh member of the gang arrested-
Situation at Pocahontas.
Pocahontas. Va., May 27. Th

Monterey, May 27. The sloop Cy
clone, which left San Francisco a short
time ago bound on a voyage to Japan
and eventually around the globe, was
wrecked at Point Sur. Accounts are
meager concerning the loss of the odd
little craft, but it is reported that sha
drifted ashore in a dense fog that pre

aboard the captain, his wife, a cabin
boy and three sailors who are supposed
to have reached the Point Sur light
bouse in safety.
