absorbed in tho story of tho sightless

evening at Lloyd's.
' Seed Wheat.
There has been a strong demand this
fall for winter wheat of good quality,
clean and puro. Without any adver
tising whatever wo have sold all that
wo had on hand and are turning down
orders because wo have no more wheat
for salo. Wo have sold about 400 bush
els in lots of from 5 to 110 bushels at
from $1.00 to $1.25 per bushel. We
had ono order for a carload lot but
wo did not havo the wheat and did not
know of any one raising wheat that wo
could guarantee to bo of one variety
and free from rye.
We have shipped wheat to several of
tho eastern counties and Wyoming and
Idaho. Tho largest part of it haB been
sold to business men of North Platto
who own farms. None has been sold
to our immediate neighbors and but
little to any of the farmers in this sec
tion of the state. We will leave it
with tho farmers to say whether it
will pay to raise better wheat.

Supt. Experimental Substation.

Belton on the Court House Question
Replying to Articlo No. 5, ono largo
safo each for tho county treasurer and
clerk of tho district court and a large
steel reinforced concreto vault could bo
built on the back of tho court liouao
sufficiently largo to hold nil tho old
records of tho past, and future records
for many years. If all tho records
must bo preserved the old ones which
aro not in daily uso are in tho way of
tho officers and if thero was a safo
vault away from tho court house whero
old records could bo kept, it would bo a
great convenience to tho officers. If ho
Lwantcd an old record ho could look at
his index and go to tho vault and get
it. A vault of that description will al
ways bo in demand and can bo built
for less than fivo thousand dollars and
as the county commissioners levied
twenty thousand dollars more this year
than last year, thero will bo plenty
money to pay for tho vault.
Tho committeo say that wo insinuate
that graft is tho motivo powor that
moves tho court houso promotors. Tho
word graft implies a great many things
besides money. If a North Platter
could have a fine court houso built here
at the expenso of tho county which gets
no benefit of it, that would be a graft
on his part and that will bo the main
incentivo offered hero to get votes.
Tho great mass of thov inhabi
tants of tho county never
como to North Platto. They have no
reason to; they aro honest farmers and
they can sell their grain, hogs and
cattlo for as high a price in their own
towns, and they can buy clothing,
shoes, lumber and coal, dry goods and
groceries as cheap from their own
merchants, and can tako tho goods
homo to their families for thero is no
booze to be had in their towns, but the
honest farmer cornea hero and sella his
grain, hogs and' cattle ho is liable to
take home a broken head nnd an empty
wagon.
There is more graft in building county
houses and furnishing them than any
thing clso the people havo to do with.
And the initiative of tho present court
house move has a rather suspicious
look. It was started in the Commer
cial Club rooms, an architect was cm
ployed who makes a fancy picture and
u lawn and of courso tho architect is a
foreigner; he specifies whut tho house
shall bo mado of, and tho building is to
cost $100,000.00 and after tho comple
tion of tho building no doubt but it will
tako $30,000.00 more to furnish it for
tho stylo is to patronize their co
workers regardless of prico. It is ovi
dont it is tho Commercial Club that is
going to build tho court houso and not the
tax-payers, of Lincoln County although
thoy will havo to pay for it.
If tho taxpayers of Lincoln county
build the court houso, each town in tho
county should select a delegate and tho
delegates should meet in North Platto
and decide how much should bo voted
to build a court house, then advertise
for plans for a court house nnd tho
plans that suited adopt and pay for
them. It is moro than likely cement
would moke a bettor court houso out
hero than any other material. Tho
normal school in Kearney Ih built of
cement and some or tho linost build
ings in the stato aro built of cement.
Brick mado in the east is poor mater
ial to stand tho alkali in tho soil, if you
doubt it then go and look at tho south
west corner of tho high school.
Aa for Articlo 5 it is simnlv a son to
catch country votes. Tho idea of build
ing a nursery in n court houso; tho
Committeo knows that it will not bo
occupied for that purpose but it might
do occupied by tne club and save rent.

Hearst Scores Bryan.
In his speech at Atlantic, Ga., Sat
urday, W. R. Hearst, in referring to
W. J. Bryan, said:
"Look at this man Haskell, whom
Bryan mado chairman of tho commit
too on platform and treasurer of his
campaign fund. This man Haskell,4
known as n political paymaster of tho
Standard Oil, is asked by Mr. Bryan
first to inako a platform tho Standard
Oil will npprovo of then collect from
tho Standard Oil tho material expres
sive of their approval.
"Mr. Bryan has handed down his
flag nnd surrendered. Whero in all of
Mr. Bryan's vacillating courso, with
its ign ominous conclusion, could 1 find
an insp ration for further devotion or
opportunity for honorable approval?
"I havo to regard Mr. Bryan as a
trickster, a trimmer, a traitor.
