Our side walks are being ruined in this way. Being of inch stuff and it rotten and full of knots, it is very easily broken. The council should pay attention to the material which goes into our walks, and not let j the lumbermen palm off their culls ami worthless lumber on the city as they have been doing. Money put into much of this stuff is practically thrown away. Con Keys’ life has been hanging in the balance the past week. He was around Monday of last week feeling as well as usual, even loading a car of .hogs Tues day morning. Not feeliug well he went home'and summoned Dr. Qilligan who found that his ailment was some disorder of the bowels that Would necessitate an operation and accordingly sent for Dr. Warren, of Sioux City, who arrived Thursday night, and on Friday morning the two doctors operated and found things as were indicated by the diagnosis. It was the opinion after the operation hud been performed and the seriousness of the case discovered, that Mr. Keyes could not survive to exceed a couple of days, but thanks to an iron will, a rugged constitution and careful treatment be is recovering.

Tbe committee on resolutions then re ported as follows: Tbe republicans of Holt county, Ne braska, in convention assembled, de clare: That it was tbe republican party that took labor from the auction block and made it honorable, and that basing Its economic doctrines on tbe maintaiuance oT an American standard of wages for American producers, Is today the proper I party for ull working men. We pledge I ourselves in tbe future as in tbe past to such care for tbe interests and rights of all classes of our people that law and order will be maintained; that labor will lie assured of its just reward, unrobbed by monopolies and trusts, and industry secure from danger shall again be free to resume its activity, beneficent alike to employer and wage earner. | We earnestly advocate such legislation " •»* BVVM*v kUV U\l | UOIIIICU l aud arbitration of differences nrisingfroui time to time between employers and em ployees and condemn unqualifiedly cap italists and all others who refuse to settle such difference along such peace ful lines. The wanton distraction of property, whether private, corporate or public, should be prevented aud mob violence suppressed at all hazards. We stand for law aud order, for the punishment of crime aud for the lawful redress of nil wrong. ■ We favor the largest possible uso of silver as money that is consistent with the permanent maintainance of equal 1 values of all dollars in circulation. We do uot desire monometallism either of trold or silver, and we pledge ourselves to coutintic to work for biinetalism to be brought about by all fit means Within the power of the government. We believe that the present financial distress prevading all sections of this country, demands wise legislative action to restore confidence in nil business circles, to promote industry, revive com merce and rebuild our languishing man ufactories. We believe that the history of the present congress plainly shows that the democratic party is incompetent and I hat it is impossible for this country to be prosperous under democratic misrule. We believe that the fulure.prosperily of our beloved land depends upon the res toration to power of that good old re publican party that is the exponent of all truly progressive ideas and the only safe custodian of our country’s interests. Believing in rendering honor when due, we endorse the action of the press of the United States in calling out fed eral troops to quell riot and insurrection in Chicago and other places. We denounce the action of the Iloit county board of supervisors in passing tbeir late treasonable resolutions regard ing the use of troops in Chicugo, and we further denounce as dishonest their occupying their time as a county board in passing at the county's expense such •resolutions on matters that, as a board, was none of their-business, and we furthermore denounce as a steal the printing of their resolutions at the county’s expense. We, as republicans believe in law and order and good government, and view with alarm the growing evil of intem perance and herebv pledge ourselves to use our befct endeavor in ail legal ways to abate or check this growing evil. , The republican party in the past has Always been in favor of a free ballot and fit fair and impartial count and we de nounce as un-American and un-repuhli 'Can any law which tends to abridge and impair the absolute equality of all citizens before the law and give to one citizen a greater voting power than to another * ,We point with pride to the record made by Hon. J. S. Bartley as state treasurer and appreciate the fact that republicans of this state intend to re nominate him without opposition. We cordially endorse the candidacy of Hon. M. P. Kinkaid to secure the con gressional nomination at the republican convention soon to be held at Broken Bow, and assure such convention tbut if they deem it best to nominate him they will select a candidate who has the full confidence of the people and who will make a strong and earnest effort to re deem this district. We therefore request that the delegates this day selected by the convention use all honorable efforts to secure his nomination. C. L. Chapman, John Wertz, J. M. Aldkkson, J. B.

WANTED! - 5 If■ * ' ‘ ' • A BIG IRRIGATION MEETING: A Plan to Build the Big Irrigation Ditch Through Cherry, Rock, Brown, Holt, Antelope, and Knox Counties* 1: Notice is hereby given that there will be a meeting held in the court-house In O’Neill, at 10 o’clock a m., on Monday, August 6,1804, for the purpose of devising means to Irrlgato our country. A gentleman from NewYork, representing sufficient capital to construct the big ditch without delay and in time to irrigate the lands for next year’s crop, ar rived in O’Neill and is now going ovur the entire route of the proposed canal. He will return to O'Neill in time for nnd be present at this meeting. He will then tell what they are prepared to do. We want all of the farmers, all of the business men, everyone In Cherry, Bock, Brown, Holt. Antelope and Knox counties who has an interest in the future of the country to attend the meeting. If we accept the terms of the Now York people they will mmuMf work at once and furnish work for all the men and teams we have in the county during the coming winter. We hope all will come to this meeting nnd help to make this country what It will be if irrigated—one of the most prosferous countries in the United States. T. V. GOLDEN, Secretary. Pat Biglin will deliver kerosene and gasoline at your residence or place of business. His wagon makes the rounds everyday. __ 47-tf George Brion, of the Swing ball team, was the victim last Saturday of a very painful accident while practicing on the eroupds at this place. He was playing first base and had turned around to look at the crowd nnd failed to notice a ball thrown in his direction by Arch Henry. His attention was called to it in time tor him to turn around and get it in the right eye. It was a hot one and be went to sleep immediately and did not regain consciousness for an hour and twenty minutes. He was taken to the home of Superintendent Jackson where he was kindly cared for until Monday morning, when he left for home. George will probably keep his ‘'eye on the ball" in the future. It Is better than to keep the ball on his eye. Mr. Kerr, the gentleman representing an association of eastern capitalists, and who baa been in correspondence with T. V. Golden, secretary ortbe Niobrara River Power t(,nd Irrigation company, with a view of luroishing the-capiinj. necessary for tbe construction of the company’s big ditcb, arrived in O'Neill Sunday, evening last, und Monday after noon, accompanied by Mr. Goldeu and Jack Meals, proceeded to drive over tbe route. Before starting arrangements were made and a call issued for a mass meeting of tbe citizens of tbe several counties interested ip tbe project, at O’Neill, next Monday, August 0, at which time a plan by which tbe ditcb can be constructed will be sub mitted. The Fuontieb hopes to see a large turn out at this meeting and ex pects to see as a result, arrangements perfected then which will guarantee the speedy construction of the canal. It is a matter in which we cannot afford to be narrow or niggardly. It involves our future progress as a community and oar interests as individuals. It must not be permitted to lag or fail, if the means lies within our power to prevent it. Let everybody turn out, farmers, business men, everybody. If ever men stood in their own light the farmers along the Elkhorn Irrigation company’s ditch ara standing in theirs when they ask for damages from tbe company for crossing their lands. If tbe company were going to damage these lands tbe ditch would not be con structed, for if the ditch is not a bent-lit it is nothing, and to construct the ditch would be the height of foolishness. Without water no crops can be raised, as this season has plainly demonstrated. It would seem as though the Almighty had visited the curse of short crops, or practically no crops, up on the people here this season to convince them of the necessity of briuging their intelligence to bear upon utilizing the waters at their command, turning them to the useful purposes of scientific agriculture, in stead of letting them run in idleness to the sea. This paper is not a very firm believer in the interference of Provi dence in matters naturul and mundane, hut what else this extremly and unknown burning of all vegetation if there is not some good purpose to be served. If all things are for our good, as many people effect to believe, then these long days of Africhn heat and desert dryness which have withered nud ruined promising crops of waiving grain is not without its lesson, and that lesson must be “irrigate.” But not withstanding all this, and with poverty and distress staring them in the face, certain of our farmers, we regret to say, would defy Providence and attempt to stop the car of progress by placing every obstacle they possibly can in its way.. \ \ Ewing la ainking an artealan wall.

The present campaign is of unusual interest to Nebraskans Not only will a full set of state officers be elected, but a legislature will be elected that will choose a United States senator. The State Journal, located at the capital, can give you all this news more fully and more reliably than any other paper. It comes twice a week and will be sent until after election for only 25 cents. Address, States Jocknal, Lincoln, Neb. There’s Always a Reason. It is an easy thing to account for the wonderful growth -of the Daily State Journal recently. Its price has been reduced to 50 cents per month without Sunday or 05 cents with Sunday. The Journal has always been reliable and honest, printing the news without fear or favor. The people of Nebraska realize that they need a paper published at the capital, and when the price of the Jour nal was reduced the subscription list. - grew at a phenomenal rate. The Jour ] nal is a Nebraska paper through and
