line, he made a roucfh estimate that
the grading, without the necessary
culverts and bridge that would be
needed across the Birdwood creek,
could be built for about $250 per
mile. - As there would be about
LiutLy miles to De constructed in
Lincoln county this would make
the expense but nominal, . in
comparison with the benefit which
would accrue. The precincts
through which the line would pass
could be bonded for say $20,000 or
$25,000 without scarcely feeling the
slightly increased taxation, which
would be more than offset by the
increase in land valuation. In this

The nomination of H. M. Grimes
for district judge means that he
will carry Lincoln county by a ma-
jority of an even 300. His popular-
ltJ and qualifications for the posi-
tion insures this.
The Era says populism in Lin
coln county is in the ascendant.
Just so; it is now kite high and
after November it will be out of
sight. The people of Lincoln coun
ty have no use for any organization
that promises much and delivers
nothing.
A conundrum for the Era. Is it i
not as good campaign tactics for per
sons to obtain their credentials to a
party convention from the clerk of
the district court, as it would be from
the countv clerk? Certainly the
the county clerk? Certainly
former would appear to have more
of a legal aspect.
JUDGE JNEVILLE, or tniS City, IS j
spoken of as the pop nominee for I
ludfire of the supreme court The
Judge had better grasp this straw.
He is just as likely to be elected
supreme juage as ne is district
judge, both of which are not only
improbable but impossible.
They say that "the people" will
nominate the pop candidates for
county offices. Simmered down
this means that Judge Neville, But
ler Buchanan, Joe Beeler and Jake
Miller will run the conyention.
They are "the
people;" the other
fell6ws vote but only at the dicta-

H. M. Grimes, of North Platte,
I presided at the judicial central com-
mittee meetinsr as its chairman
here last Saturday. H. M. is a
candidate for the nomination of
judge and id almost sure of secur
ing it. Mr. Grimes is one of the
best lawyers in the district and
would make a judge to be proud of.
I HlS ability and extended practice

THE GBEAT "'EErOEM" PARTY.
Only a few short years ago, how J
short they seem, the populist lead
ers were promising all kinds of
benefits and advantages to that
part of the community that they
were pleased to style "the people."
They were going to have the gov
ernment loan them money, all they
wanted, at two per cent per annum.
They were going to build great
houses all over the land where the
farmer could take his crop and de
posit it and draw ninety or ninety-
five per cent of its value. The gov
ernment was to own all the rail
roads, telegraph lines, coal mines,
ore beds, and almost everything
else. They do not talk about these
things now. Not a pop orator in
all the land advocates any one of
them nor gives any promise of their
fulfillment. They are the theories
upon which the populist party was
built up, and yet they have all fall
en to the ground and not one of
them is even talked about. The
question is very pertinent, what is
there Jeft of the populist party any
way? York Times.
The world existed over 6,000
years before the pop party was ever
heard of, and all that time the
enemies of .tbepaple were forging

NEGRO LYNCHED BY A. COLORED MOB
Harris on Lewis Haased to a Tree In the
Conrthous Yard at Springfield, Ky.
Spbingeield, Kj., Aug. 2G. Shortly
after 2 a.m. a mob composed of about
a dozen men took Harrison Lewis, the
negro who murdered Joe Brook3, also
colored, last Friday night, from the jail
here and hanged him to a tree in the
courthouse yard. When the mob reached
the I'aiL they called for Jailor Smith, but
his wife informed them that he was not
at home and that he had the keys to the
3011 with him. Thisdid not daunt the
mob, however. Going to a blacksmith
shop near by they secured some sledge
hammers, and after three hours work
succeeded in battering down the jail
door. Lewis was found crouching in his
cell, and oegged piteously for his life,
bub the leader ordered the men to make
quick work of him. He was quickly
seized, and after placing a rope around
his neck was dragged to the nearest
tree and strung up without further cere
mony.
The mob did its work in a quiet, or
derly manner, and seemed to be thor
oughly organized. It is the opinion of
many that it was composed of colored
men. After completing their work the
mob quietly dispersed.
