Colonel Mosby comes here or the purpose of investigating the transactions of Special Agent LcBser, who is now under suspension, in relation to the traud ulcnt homestead entries and par ticularly those ot subsidized sold ers' widows. From here Colonel MoBby .vill go to Alliance and will at once begin the work of pulling down the fences which the larger cattle men have erected around government land. The Colonel says the fences will come down if it takes all the cav alry troops the United States pos sess, as he is armed wth authority direct from President Roosevelt, Protection Aalnjt Grahoppen, Ed lyinn was in'town Saturday and dropped in on the editor to swap yarns. Mr. Linn is rejoicing u a fine crop of corn. It is the best crop lie lias . raised since lartning under the ditch. He spoke of a means to protect a crop from the ravages of the grasshoppers that u case of another scourge of these pests would be well worth trying', His plan id to sow a atrip of tur nips entirely around the prop tp be protected. Then use paris green on the turnip patch and this will prove to be the salvation ot the crop, it lias been tried with a gar den patch and it proved a pro nounced succgriB, The (rrasshop; per is-" very fond of a young and growing turnip and will leave almost any kind of a plant to feed on the succulent turnip tops and a thorough application of paris green will get the voracious pests by the bushel, In tact, it haB been the mcatiB of saving gardens and it can be equally as good in protect ing held crops. The. pans green is mixed with flour and sprinkled on the leaves qf the tqrnips, while the dew is qn atd by this mcana forms a crust on the plant and re mains to do its work until washed off by ram, The next raid ol grass hoppers this country sutlers from it might be well to give it a more extended trial than it had hereto fore.

THINGS TALKED ABOUT. Dullness with North Platte merchants last month, generally speaking, was somewhat of a dis appointment, and no one seems able to give a satisfactory reason. Farmers and stockmen of the county are in better financial shape than one year ago, yet the country trade has not been as good this fall as it should have been. Mer chants,, however, believe that De cember! will be a good month, as the tall purchases, which have been delayed probably on account of the pleasant weather, will ot necessity be mads during the present month, Scattered throughout the a'.atc are a good many canes of small pox, and it would not be surpriHiug if North Platte should, during the winter, have a tew cases. Silrated on a main line ot travel, and at the same time a division termina', we naturally come more 6r less in con tact with people who have coutag- . .. . .. . . c sieges or Biuaii-po.v nave nated in that way. Vaccina- is pronounced the moet t-afu tion against the disease, nod I J ;ave not! been vaccinated in recent years 6U0U1U attcuu to the mutter promptly. , The Union Pacific Company can certainly congratulate itself upon having a faitful and loyal class of engineers, fitcmeu and trainmen. Since the inauguration of the machinists' and boilcrmakcrb1 strike on the system, the road men have been put to all kinds of incon veniences due to poor motive power yet ttacy have accepted this "grief" with much less complaint than the "outsider" would naturally expect. It may bel aud probably is, true that the sympathy of the road men is with the strikers, yet this sym pathy has not swerved them trom that faithful and honorable service due the road, and if the officials do not appreciate the loyalty this class of employes have shown them they arc indeed stony. hearted. The fact that local coal dealers arc sailing coal in half ton lots, has caused some of our people to worry over a coal famine in case we should laye a protracted spell of below- zero weather. These people point to the tact that the Union Pacific has no storage coal to speak of at this point, and if it cannot get a supply ahead for itself, and self- protection, would gome first, how enn we expect that the company will keep the local dealers all along its line supplied, This writer is inclined to believe that as freight traffic is falling off on the road, the company will be in shape to haul more coal, and that the depleted stocks will be replenished within the next two weeks. Dut iti the meantime if you have an opportun ity to buy an extra ton or bo, buy it .and be safe-guarded against emergencies, BETWEEN THE RIVERS.
