A visit to Broach's photograph
gallery will convince any one that the
work turned out by that gentleman
is equal if not superior to like work
executed in large cities. Mr. Broach

will be pleased to have you call and
look over his work.
Gophers have destroyed a num

farm west of town bv cutting off
the main roots. To avoid further

ground surrounding the trees. This
will form a barrier around the
roots through which the gopher is
riot likely to attempt passage.

Representative Stebbins, who
came home from Lincoln the early
part of thz week, made a social call
at this office Wednesday. Mr Steb
bins is an honest populist, and
when he vent to Lincoln he had an
earnest desire to carry out the re
forms demanded by his constit
uents, and also to push forward
the jrirgation interests demanded
by ;his section. He had not been in
the Capital city long, however, until
he discovered that Xie reforms
demanded by the populists could
not be secured, neither could meas
ures be passed which would prove
of benefit to the irrigated section of
Nebraska. For the latter he
labored diligently, but without
avail, and he returned home thor
oughly disgusted witu the fusion
legislature. He intimated that a
ring" thwarted the purpose of
those legislators who were honest
in their desire to pass measures of
benefit to the common people. In
Mr. Stebbins' own language the
nslature "didn.t amount to a
damn, "and with a smile on his face
said, "the only good njeasure passed
was that making chicken stealing a
penitentiary offense, and before
another election one-halt the poou
list party, may be in the peniten
tiary." But laying aside jokiuj
Mr. Stebbins believes the past legis
lature was a farce, and was made
so by the fusion members and if we
mistake not he will not in the future
favor fusion in Nebraska, but will
advocate ;a "middle of the road"
pojicy. Especially so when he con-
siders-that tlje fuscmists secured
all the good appointive offices anfj
the populists were leit to hold the
sack. !
