A district fair for Western Ne braska, first suggested br Judge Hinman two years ago, is now being agitated by the Record and some of our more enterprising peo ple, and The Tribune falls in read ily with the movement. There is no question but tue irrigation movement now being- pushed so vigorously in the Platte valley west of the one hundredth meridian will continue until everv available acre is brought -under a ditch. This means that thousands of acres ot irrigated land will be placed on sale, and it will be necessary to have the attention of well-to-do eastern farm ers who contemplate a change of residence called to this section. One admirable way to do this is to have a. district fair at which can be dis played the products of the irrigated lands. By uniting the counties ot Dawson, Lincoln, Keiths Cheyenne, Deuel, Banner and Scott's Bluffs in this move a fair could be held which would attract attention all over the east. It could be made of such magnitude as to induce the rail roads of the country, and especially those, west of Chicago, to offer very low excursion rates, and these re duced rates would be taken advan tage of by hundreds of eastern farmers. Once in this section they would visit all parts of it, and pur chase land in the vicinity which best suited them. The land-owner in Cheyenne county would ftave just as good a chance to sell His laud as the one in Lincoln or Dawson coun- ty. Beinjr situated near the center ot o the irrigated district, North Platte is undoubted! the most convenient and most suitable place to holcTthis district fair, and we believe that her citizens will do every thing in their power toTttake tke fair a suc cess when once established. The attention of irrigationists and business men of the other coun ties is invited to this matter, and if they take Tdndly to it and they certainly shouldNorth Platte will take tie initiative step'aud the-hrst fair can be held in the fall of next year. It's a good thing; push it along. A democratic poultry raiser near Grafton, W. Va., the state from which Prof. Wilson hails, sent a Thanksgiving turkey to the presi dent with the inscription: "A Hard Times Turkey. You can have it. I can't sell it! This year five cents a pound never before less tha'n ten or" fifteen' A five-cent turkey sent in tins way is a crow. On Tuesday 272 bills and-eleven joint resolutions were introduced in the senate. The same profusion of measures marked the second day in the house. Both Mr. Mercer and and Mr. Meiklejohn introduced bills the former asking for an appropria tion of $100,000 for a branch mint at Omaha, and $15,000 for the estab lishment of an assay office in the s,ame city. Mr. Miklejohn's bill, prohibits the sale of intoxicants to Indians under penalty of fine and imprisonment. A cool and collected person , des- cribed by the Portland Press, is Thomas Brasrsr of - the steamer Emila, who lost his balance and fell into the water while handling a cake of ice the other day. His pipe was in his mouth, and the ice tongs in his hands when the waves closed over him. As he reappeared at the surface, his. pipe was stil in his mo.uth and the ice tongs in his hands. He puffed the pipe tq see if it had gone out. arjd, on tjeing' sa.tisfi.ed on - th.at point, accepted the proffered tenders of assistance and was pulled safely onto the steamer. The profane press, taking up Mr. J. Sterling Morton's comparison of Grover to the president of a bank and iufisting that he has as good a right to be continued an indefinite number of terms in the White house as the president of a bank has to stay in office are making it some what warm. They say that a president of a bank who . was get ting very rich himself while the hbank is lapsing- into bankruptcy -ould ,be fired pretty suddenly. A. r JGrover as president to the jj jgep-jan republic is at his wits t r j keep it financially on its feek VHe is responsible for its firiari-ial condition, for he permited the bills that cut down the revenue without diminishing the expenses to become laws. But when Grover first arrived at the White house, he was a poor man. Today he is rated- among the millionaires. There is something very sinster in this view of the case. State Journal.

NEBRASKA NOTES. Charley Ross has at last come to light. He has been running a butcher shop at York, but has sold out and will probably disappear again. A factory is to be established in Kearney for the manufacture of a patent mechanical deyice for sharp ening lawn rnowers. It is said the machine works lik a charm, A jury at York awarded Athony Yost $15,000 in his suit against the B. & M. Ry. He was run over by a switch engine at Belgium Wyo., and badly mangled. He sued for $50,000. Rennie Closing out Ms Millinery & DASTTTPT VAT ATVP-RAT What is left timely goes at saw oetore at KJiJiN JN iJii'K.- M 50 PER CENT Captain A. C.

The Oxnard Sugar Company is now working up its syrup into sugar and cleaning up on the standard beets, upon which only it can prob ably secure a bounty. In about a week the lower grade beets will be taken up and as many a9 possible manufactured into sugar. J. J. Marshall of Furnas county, a breed of Holstein cattle, was feed ing the stock one morning when the agile bull made a football rush and pushed him through tlie side of the barn.

The team became frightened at a pass ing "prairie schooner" and the re sult was a complete ruin of a new freight wagon and a badly used up span of horses. A horrible accident occured the day before Thanksgiving at the home of Arthur H- Nichols, a farm er living ten miles from.-Lincoln. Nichols was tr'ing to" drive a colt into the barn and he hurlecha club at the animal to head it off. His little daughter, nine years old, was holding the barn door open. The club missed the colt and struck her about two inches below the right ear. She dropped dead' and the father gazed in horror at the awful work he had wrought, A corner's jury held him blameless. v The proposition of the Trans Mississippi congress to hold in 1893 in Omaha a grand exposition of all the products and industries of the Trans-Mississippi country is of great importance to this whole western country and to Nebraska and Om.aha especially. It ought to be taken in hand by a strong association from Omaha and other portions of the state, and our now commencing congress ought to be induced to financially support the enteprise as it has assisted the World's Fair of ,Chicago and the great southern exposition at At lanta. The celebrated calf case has almost had a parallel in a law suit over a $1.25 pig at Michigantown, Ind. The owner was sued for pound charges and he appealed from the judgment. After three trials in the circuit court he re ceived a verdict, with $1.01 ,dam ages. The costs of. the trial amounted to over $150. The project of organizing a free coinage of silver party on the basis of 16 to 1 was knocked into "pi".on the first day of the session of the jntty-14 ourtu congress. JLue pop senators called for a caucus of free silver men of all parties, but they found themselves alone when the caucus got to business. The dem o.crats ana republicans wno were invited to attend excused them selves, saying they preferred to stay in their own party organiz ations. Mr. Teller's declination to take part in the free coinage caucus is an indication that the rumor that he had decided to abandon the re publican organization and become a regular indentured pop was pre- 1 mature. journal. i in our Milliiaery Department posi- OnerHalf Oo&t.
