SmalW'OX is the vorit foe that
North Platte has encountered for
sonic time, but we haye confidence
in its citizenship to vanquish the
foe without the loss of an Individ
ual. In this warfare the city
authorities must be backed up by
the citizens.
Fusion is now extremely unpop
ular in western Nebraska; the dem
ocrats are cussing the populists
and the populists are cussing the
democrats, and there you are.
Each party now swears that here
after they will go it alone, even if
they know to a certainty that such
action means awful defeat, There
lore in language of M, C, Hafring.
ton, "fusion is too dead to Bkin."
Amonc those who arc mentioned
for United States senator from Ne
braska is Asst. Secretary of War
Geo. D. Mciklejohn, and ot the
names presented we know of none
who would more creditably fill a
scat in the senate than Mr. Mcikle
john. As assistant secretary of
war during the past two years he
has shown executive ability,
energy and good judgment, nnd
with the knowledge he has gained
of departmental affairs at Wash
ington and the acquaintances he
has iormcd would give him a pres
tige in the senate that none of the
other wouldbc candidates itt the
state could acquire. We take very
kindly to Mr. Meiklcjohn's candi
dacy. G0VERN0ELUCt""DIETKICH lias
given evidence that he will study
well the qualifications and staudini;
of the men who apply for appoint
ive. otliccB under him. Let the new
governor pay more attention to the
fitness of the men than he docs to
the endorsements the applicants
hold from politicians and he will
fill the state institutions with men
who will ke a credit to the tate,
the governor and the party, For
the next two years the republican
party of the state will be on trial;
let the officials prove their super
iority to the gang that has infested
the state house and state institu
tions the past four years. Let them
do this and they will so strengthen
the fortifications of the republican
party in the state that they cannot
be shaken by the enemy.
A Congratulatory Letter.
W. C. Elder has received the fol
lowing letter from A. S. Gilliland,
of Jefferson, Iowa, with whom in
boyhood days he played pranks,
sparked" the girls and later in
life materially assisted in fighting
the battles of the republican party
iu Iowat
Dear Will; Allow ine to congrat
ulate you and all republicans in
tnc state ot JNcoraska, on your
well-earned victory for Bound
money and the American flag
(which should always float to the
breeze a few feet higher than any
other flag in the world). I want to
congratulate audi mcu as yourself
and John Skirving particular, as 1
know all such men who were former
residents of Iowa, and particularly
Greene county, do not let state
pride for a candidate for president
let their good judgment and loyalty
to the flag get away from them
whether it is in the United States
ot the Philippine Islands, or any
where else, where same has been
planted. We did not "do a thing to
them" in Iowa and Greene county
only 100,000 lit state and 1,417 m
this county.
The boys who are in the Philip
pines must, shall nnd will be up
held and encouraged. If I read th
diBpiitcliCB right to day "Windy
Hill Allen" will retire to privat
life, all of which 1 hope is the truth
Sorry you could have not defeated
a few more congressmen iu you
state, and had a full republican
delegation, us we have. "No flics
on Iowa" andd n few In Nebraska
Give my regards to Buchanan
.and say to him 1 am Borry he left
the best party on enrth to yo dow

INFLUENCE OF BOSTON.
The Town Muni Mvo Up to Urn Itepn-
Intlon l'or Ilcnn.
"It In astonishing," said n western
man, "now rnrrencmng is uosion mm
somo of Its best traditions. Naturally
enough, In the eastern sections of the
couutry this would not ho extraordi
nary, but that it should rnmlfy the
whole lnnd Is worthy of remark. As
nu Instance I may cite one of my own
experiences.
"Several years ago I tried farming in
western Knnsas and made a specialty
of beau raising. I had had somo ex
perience In that Hue In Tennessee,
whero I was born and raised, and
thought I could mnko It go In Kansas.
I raised a fairly good crop the Ikst sea
son, and when It was ready for mar
ket I visited our market town to dis
pose of It In hulk to a commission man
there. lie was not In his ollleo when
I called, and, being In n hurry, I went
to his homo to see him.
A. lady, who 1 afterward (earned
was ins wire, met mo at tne rront
door, nnd I nsked for Mr. Blank. She
said ho was not feeling very well and
was taking a nap. I told her I had
some beans to suit, and, us I was In a
hurry tfiul lived boiiio illatnneo In the
country, I would like to sec him, If pos
sible, She said sho would call him and
nsked mo to take & scat on the piazza.
He was evidently pretty hard to wake,
for I heard her call him once or twice
beforo ho gave nny sigh. Then sho be
came moro urgent.
"John, John," sho called, 'thero's a
gentleman waiting on the porch to sec
you.'
" 'Who Is he?' Inquired Blank.
"I don't know,' answered tho lady,
but I guess lio's from Boston. He's
got bcaus to sell.'
"And, mind .you," concluded tho nar
rator, "I was novcr In Boston In my
life." Washington Stnr.
FLOATING FIELDS.
It was uv. Mucuowau who houiu
years aco uescrlueil tne maimer in
wulch Moating Holds and gardens nro
formed In Chltia. In tho month of
April n bamboo raft 10 to 12 feet long
ami about half as broad Is prepared.
Tho poles are lashed together, with
Interstices of nu Inch between each.
Over this a layer of straw an Inch
thick Is upreml, and then a coating two
Inches thick of adhesive mud Is taken
from the bottom of a canal or pond
which receives the seed. Tho raft Is
moored to the bank Iu still water ami
requires no further attention. The
straw soon gives way and the soli
also, tho roots drawing support from
the water alone. Iu about 2Q ilaya tho
raft becomes covered with tho creeper,
and Its steins anil roots nro gathered
for cooking. In autumn Its small
Whlto petals ami yellow stamens,
nestling among tho- round leaves, pro
sent a very pretty appearance. In
somo places marshy land Is profitably
cultivated In this munucr.
Besides these floating vegetable gar
dens there are also lloatlug rlcellehls.
Upon rafts constructed as above reeds
nnd adherent mud are placed as a
flooring soil, which, being adhesive and
held In placo by weed roots, tho plants
are maintained In position throughout
tho scasou. Tlio rice thus plauted
rlpeus In from 00 to 70 In place of
100 days. The rafts nro cabled to'tho
shore, lloatlug ou lakes, pools or slug
gish streams. These floating Holds
servo to avert famines, whether hy
drought or flood. When other Acids
wcro submerged nnd their crops nod
don or rotten, "these floated and flour
ished, nud when n drought prevailed
they subsided with tho falling water
and, whllo the soil mound was arid,
advanced to maturity. Agricultural
trcutlses contain plates representing
rows or extensive rlccllelds moored to
sturdy trees ou tho bunks of rivers or
