The directors of the Lincoln and
Dawson county irrigation district
met at Gothenburg- Saturday for
the purpose of selling 5275,000
worth of district bonds,as advertised
and to contract for the construction
of the same.
A number of prominent contractors
were present to bid on the work,
but the bids tor the bonds were
limited to the bid of I- E. Doty ot
David City, who bid 95 cents on the
dollar. His bid for the construction
of the canal was SI cents per yard
for the upland and 101 cents tor the
bottom land, or an average of about
Sfc cents per cubic yard for the
grading, and 532 per 1,000 for the
lumber in bridges and flumes.
Rushart Sc Co., of Omaha, bid 5 and
6 cents percubic yard for the grad
ing in excavation and embankment.
The bonds were sold to L. E. Doty,

Mr. Kitten of Kortb Platte was
awarded the position of chief engi
neer, Sturegk of this city assistant,

for its construction, and will be
pushed to completion as soon as
possible. In sixty days they will

main canal is fifty-six miles long
and about 115 miles of laterals, and

State Journal. 1
The republican party is accus
tomed to carrv out its pledges. The
people of Nebraska interested in
beet sugar, although they elected
four democrats to congress, may
rest assured that it will in no way
prejudice them since other states
came to the rescue and sent up a
rousing republican majority, and
that the following pledge of the St.
.Louis, platform, will be carried out
if no slip occurs in the senate.
This is the sugar piank ot the re
publican national platform:
"We condemn the present admin
istration tor not keeping faith with
the sugar producers of the United
States. The republican party
favors such protection as will lead
to the production on American soil
of all the sugar which the American
people use and for which we are
sending abroad annually more than
$lGQtQQQ,QGQ to foreign countries.
coes as fitzl.
Experiments are now in progress
at tbe unviersity to demonstrate
the comparative value ot corn and
coal as fuel,savs the State Journal.
They have not been carried far
enough to give conclusive results,
but it is made clear enough that
corn at 10 cents a bushel is as
economical a fuel as coal selling for
more than S5.41 a ton. The corn
used in these tests was yellow dent
of the crop of 1S96 which was not
thoroughly dry when it was placed
in the furnace. The coal was screen
ed Rock Springs nut, costing in
Lincoln 56.65 a ton. The experi
ments will be continued by the uni
versity, and in due time a complete
report will be made, showing the
heat producing power of various
grades of coal as compared with the
fuel value of corn under all condi
tions. Tfce economic importance
of this investigation to the state
can hardly be overestimated.
During the last few weeks since
the farmers south of the river have
turned their horses iato the com
stalks a number of them have died.
Mrs. G. W, Xewman lost six head,
Fred Young, two, M. T. Turner,
one, I. F. Siemiller, two, and Ed
Marcott one. The farmers have
opened and examined them, and
their lungs and stomach all seem
to be in a healthv condition. Thev
seem to die easy and do not bloat

Smith, of Richardson couaty.has
introduced a bill to appropriate
$250,000 for a state beet sugar fac
tory. The bill will probably die in
its infancy.
W. C. Grimes of Holt county has
consented to push the bill providing
an amendment to the constitution
granting woman suffrage witkoet

put down the Russian thistle pest I
has been introduced in the hoese.
This measure was passed two
years ago upon the urgent demand
of the farmers. It seems however
to have proven a poor law.
This Tuesday evening has been
set for a meeting ot the finance
ways and means committee to hear
the Transmississippc exposition
matter. The bill introduced ui the
house calls for an appropriation of
$350,000 for the exposition, bet
the general belief is that the amount
will be cut to about5250,00Q,
"Welch ot Polk having in mind a
tew incidents of the last election
would make it a misdemeanor for
anyone to manufacture, carry or
exhibit the American Sag with aay
cut. profile or emblem upon its
folds. The crime he considers is
serious enough to warrant imprison
ment from ten to sixty days.
Representative Eastman is in
favor of the state going into the
railroad business. He has intro
duced a bill which appropriates
$350,000 for the assistance f the i
Iowa, Lake Superior &: Gulf rail-1
road. This action he takes, as the
preamble of the bill shews, because
of the utter contempt of the great
railroad lines for the agricultural
classes.
Severe, ot Otoe, has introduced a
bill which provides that any candi
date for offices in Nebraska who
uses money, intoxicating- drinks,
cigars or bribes of any kind directly
or indirectly to influence tbe vote of
any person or if an? person use the
same for tbe benefit of any candi
date tbe same sball be a felony.
Anotber section provides that if
any representative of any corpora
tion shall coerce, intimidate or
threaten to discharge or to redaee
the wages oi any employe or em
ployes of the corporation the penalty
for the crime shall be impcisonmeat
in the penitentiary tor from one to
three years.
Tbe western members of the
legislatnre have a movement on foot
to redistrict the state, giving- a new
legislative appointment based upon
the vote cast at the last general
election. Sheldon of Dawes coenty
is preparing the bill which will be
introduced at an early date, it is
claimed that the populatian ot the
state has increased; lately in the
west since the last apportionment.
It is reported that the feasibility of
the plan was submitted to Samuel
Maxwell for his opinion and that
he believed that the present legis
lature will be prevented from mak
ing- an apportionment on the basis
ot the census ot Ici but tnat the
basis migbt be the votes cast at the
last election.
