to feel tho pulse of the democrats ns
to their preference for United StateB

democratic politics in Lincoln county
do not idolize Brynn as they did in

Hitchcock boomers, and to find thnt
4lhis condition exited .proved plen'sing.

Drouth is Broken. ,
The protracted drouth which covered
this Bection of Nebraska was broken
Friday afternoon by a heavy rain which
continued for about twenty minutes nnd
during which six-tenths of an inch of
crop roviver foil. This was .followed by
another rain nt nine in the evening,
when fivo-tenths of un inch fell.
This rain will havo a very bencficiul
effect on corn, pasture fields and hay
land, ami will probably help out somo
of tho small grain. In most cases, how
over, tho rain came too luto to save the
small grain crop, especially oats and
barley.
In tho county court Saturday the
case of tho state against Mrs. Eliza
Nation was neard. Tnis was n caso
wherein Walter Recard filed a complaint

ened to run a pitchfork through him,
and on tho following !day said she
would kill him if it took a Iifo time.
Mrs. Nation is n woman weighing
about 300 pounds, and seems to havo a
temper commensurate with her weight.
The evidence in tho case shojved that
both tho plainliff and defendant were'
quarrelsome each with tho other and
both wero bound over to keep the
peace.
A Friendly Warning.

on tho streets to tho limit provided by

sire to cause anyone trouble, but this

order of The Police.
The Farmers' Picnic.
Should the weather provo plcsant a
large crowd is expected to bo present
at the third annunl picnic to bo held at
tho oxporimental sub-station next Thurs
day. The picnic has been well ndver
tlscd in tho section between Lexington
and Sidney, and It Is believed that
many farmers will como for tho pur
poso of seeing tho experiments In dry
farming which havo been conducted on
tho farm. To see whathas been accom
plished in this line is certainly worth
tho while. Tho cowboy band will bo in
attendance nnd State Senator Brown
will delivor an address on dry forming.
