cessful institutes ever held m the county

ulated upon having secured such an able

more extended account of the session in
our next issue.'
An exchange tells its readers how to
mind their own p’s m the following par
agraph : “Persons who patronize papers
should pay promptly, for pecuniary
prospects of the press have a peculiar
power in pushing forward public pros
perity. If the printer is paid promptly
and his pocket-book kept plethoric by
prompt paying patrons, he puts his pen
to his paper in peace, bis paragraphs
are more pointed, he paints pictures of
passing events in more pleasing colors
and the perusal of bis paper is a pleasure
to the reader. Paste this piece of pro
verbial philosophy in some place where
all persons can see it.
Somebody who wants to explain what
the editorial “we" signifies, says that it
has a variety of meanings, and varies to
suit the circumstances. For example:
When you read that “we expect our
wife home today,” “we” refers to the
editor-in-chief: when-it is “we are little
late with our work,” it includes the
whole office force even to tbe devil and
tbe towel; in “wd' are having a great
boom,” the town is meant: “we received
over 700,000 immigrants last year,”
that embraces the nation; but “we have
the hog cholera in our midst,” only
means the man who takes the paper and
never pays for it, is vary ill.
Daily Capital, Piere, 8. D.: Married
—At the residence of the bride’s parents
in Canning, 8. D., on Thursday evening,
August 0, at 9 p. m. Rev. Bert A. Ray
son and Miss EllaM. Perkins, Rev. Dr.
Bluckburn officiating. The bride is the
beautiful and accomplished daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Perkins and is
well and favorably known in church
and social circles. Rev. Rayson is a
senior of McCormack theologocal sem
inary, Chicago, and is a gentleman of
marked ability. He supplied the pul
pits of the Presbyterian church at Blunt,
Onida and Canning last year and this,
where he made a host of friends. A
substantial repast was served by the
genial host and hostess to the friends
assembled to which all done ample
justice. The happy pair will leave for
Chicago in a few weeks to remain until
the groom completes his course of study
which will be May next. The best
wishes of a host of friends will follow
them through life.
Judging from a telegram received
by Governor Altgeld, of Illinois,
the promulgators of the boycot on the
Pullman Company have the tables turned
on them and are now in a far worse con
dition than they were before the strike
We da not doubt but that the strikers
had grievances and that they had a right
to make them known, but there can be
no good come to themselves or anyone
else from the violent means employed to
redress their wiongs. The telegram
reads: “To his Excellency, the Govern
or of Illinois: We, the people of Pull
man, who, by the greed of oppression
of George Pullman, have been brought
to a condition where starvation stares
us in the face, do hereby appeal to you
for aid, in this hour of need. We have
been refused imployment and have no
means of leaving this vicinity, and our
families are starving. Our places have
been filled with workman from all over
the United States, brought here by the
Pullman Company, and the surplus were
turned away to walk the streets and
starve. Also there are over 1,000 families
here in destitution and want, and their
condition is pitiful. We have exhausted
all the means at our command to feed
them, and now make this appeal to you
as a last resource. Trusting that God
will influence you and that you will
give this your prompt attention, we
remain yours in distress, the starving
citizens of Pullman.”

ENTHUSIASTIC CONVENTION.
Jos Butler, of Holt, sad Eugsns Koore, of
KodUon renominated,
Loot night’s Sioux City Tribune con
tains the following report of the conven
tion at Cmaha: “It looked like old
times when the Nebraska republican
state convention got together In Expo
sition ball this morning. Ex-Governor
Thayer, ex-Governor Saunders and a
score rf>f other old wheel horses of the
party were present on the platform. The
room was crowded to suffocation and
shirt sleeves was the style of costume.
Banners and bunting were draped about
the walls,but these did not attract the at
tention that a series of caricatures ot Con
gressman Bryan did. ‘He was presented
in all sorts of ridiculous ways. Several
country hands were present and all tried
to play. A glee club sang a song coup
ling President Cleveland's name In a
scandalous way with thnt of “Queen
Lily, Lily, Lily, of the Cannibal Isles."
The MacColl and Majors factions were
strongly represented in the audience as
as well as the delegations and there was
evidence that a hot battle was in pros
pect.
'■After a prayer by the Rev. Dr.
Brookcr, of Kearney, Brad Slaughter,
the chairman of the itate central com*
mittee, introduced C. E. Adame, of Su
perior, who had been selected ae tem
porary chairman. Mr. Adame made a
ebort epeech in which he attributed
everything the country wae afflicted
with, except the drought, to the demo
cracy c party. He made a scathing ref
erence to the tariff bill and the action
of the democrats in congress. H. M.
Waring, O. H. Brainard and 0. E.
White were made secretaries. After
another song, the temporary organiza
tion was made permanent and a com
mittee on resolutions appointed.
“After a good deal of wrangling an in
formal vote was taken. It resulted as
follows: Majors, 4801; MacColl, 4811;
Crounse, 40; Cady, 8. The Douglas
county delegation (Omaha) gave 108
votes for MacColl, the entire vote.
There was a scene of great enthusiasm
on the part of Majors friends when the
vote was announced.
“No sooner had the result of the vote
been announced than the MacColl men
saw they had been outwitted. A mo
tion was made to adjourn and another
to go on with a formal ballot, which
latter was put and declared carried. A
fierce fight ensued, but the ballot went
on and Thomas J. Majors was declared
nominated.
“Editor Rosewater resigned as national
committeeman because of Major's nom
ination.”
The following telegram was received
from the junior editor this afternoon:
“Governor, Thomas J. Majors, of Nem
aha; lieutenant governor, R. E. Moore,
of Lancaster; secretary of state, J. A.
Piper, of Howard; auditor of public ac
counts, Eugene Moore, of Madison;
treasurer, J. 8. Bartley, of Holt; com
missioner of public lands and buildings,
H. C. Russell, of Colfax; attorney gen
eral, A. 8. Churchill, of Douglas: super
intendent of public instruction, H. li.
Corbett, of York.”
Bountiful Crop* In Indiana.
Franklin (Ind.) Democrat: This year
will be memorable for its great harvests.
The yelld of wheat in Indiana will prob
ably exceed that of any former year.
Just at this time it is especially inviting
for one to drive into the country and
visit some-of the threshers at work.
We had the pleasure, one day this
week, of. witnessing five machines in
operation. The first was John Baker’s
outfit on the farm of Cornelius Ditmars,
whose crop of fifty-five acres averaged
37 bushels per acre, this being no ex
ceptional yield in the county this year.
Improvements in farm machinery have
been varied and rapid but none more
forcibly impresses one than the scene
here witnessed. There were no men on
the straw stack and yet there had arisen
a high, well rounded stack of straw,
more pefect in outline than could be
made by hand. Ten teams were kept
busy bringing the wheat to the machine
and the Farmers’ Friend stacker was
stacking the straw. We were told by
Mr. Baker that the stacker'was doing its
work perfectly and enabled him not
only to do more work in one day than
by the old method, but gave better
satisfaction to farmers. This statement
was corroborated by every one with
whom we conversed.
Passing on one mile further we came
across George Banta’s outfit. This is
his fourth season and with each recur
ring year he finds the stacker more pop
ular. Here it has been fully tested and
the points of superiority demonstrated
may be briefly summarised as follows:
More work can bo accomplished In one
day; fewer sittings of the machine are
required; straw Is stacked more evenly
than by hand and turns water better;
fewer bands are required and the labor
diminished not only for the farmer but
his wife as well; chaff and dust are en
tirely removed by the blower; the ex
pense of threshing bas been greatly
diminished.
One man uaa been offered 2 cent! per
bushel leu for threshing by the old
method but refused) saying he preferred
a Farmers’ Friend even at 9 cents a
bushel more for threshing.
The stacker, we are glad to know, Is
the product of a Iloosler brain, the
patentee being James Duchanan, of
Indianapolis, where it is manufactured
by the Indiana Manufacturing company.
All the leading separator manufacturers
now use it. The stacker is aptly named
"The Farmers’ Friend.” It is without
question a wonderful invention and we
speak of it because of its practical value
and worth.
May Be a Party Issue.
A Washington correspondent to the
World-Herald has the following to offer
upon the subject of irrigation:
One of the most important measures
passed by this congress has attracted
comparatively slight attention, although
it is one of the most.far reaching in prin
ciple that has been enacted by congress
since the construction of the Union
Pacific. That is the measure providing
for the allotment of arid lands to the
states in which they are located and
which will improve them. This is re
garded as the first step toward the
practical solution of the irrigation ques
tion. The results of irrigation in the
desert regions have been so phenomenal
that the matter is regarded by ex
perienced men as certain to attain to the
importance of a party policy which will
have a strong dfleet in the west. It Is
estimated that it costs about $10 per acre
to introduce a successful system of ir
rigation. The average cost has been
known to run as high as $90. The
mensure allots 1,000,000 acres to each
state which implies an expenditure of
, from $10,000,000 to $30,000,000 in each
state having arid lands.
A member of congress discussing the
matter yesterday said that if there was a
fair revival of confidence to induce inves
tors to look into irrigation as a source
of investment, this action of congress
would do more to return prosperity to
desert land states than anything that
could happen. It would not only lead
to the first heavy disbursements, but
would leave the states in the possession
of conditons by which prosperity could
be nurtured and maintained for genera
tions to come. It would lead to the
opening of new lands and the addition
of substancial benefits to the whole coun
try.
A Few Beesons,
Mn. Editors: We have a water right
worth millions of dollars to Holt and
adjoining counties. We have a legal
claim to it which we can hold, but
which can be held only by actually ap
propriating the waters to the use
claimed, viz, irrigation. We must put
in bona fide work right along and prose
cute the diggiug of the canal and the
storage of the water, and the distribu
tion of the same, or we- will lose our
right and others can take it, and It will
be lost to us forever. Holt county must
not fool with this fortune. A glance at
the map will show that the natural
course of those waters could easily be
diverted towards the south and we
would be left to eternal aridity. I be
lieve this water right is more valuable
than a gold mine or a coal find, for it is
lasting as time and gold and coal mines
are liable to become unproductive. Be
sides gold mines, and indeed all kinds
of mines, bring in a very undesirable
kind of people, while irrigated lands
will bring in farmers and well-to-do
people which will build up churches,
schools and society, and make this a
paradise to live in. 600,000 acres divided
into 40 acre farms would give us over
13,000 families, about 60,000 along the
line of the canal. If we fail our towns
will decline, our population decrease
and our county go back to desert land,
the abode of cowboys and coyotes.

The Bartley guards returned from
Camp at Lincoln Tuesday evening.
While there the boys received many
compliments from both officers and
civilians for their gentlemanly be*
baivor. Captain Marlow, although he
was the youngest comander in the regi
ment, was eagerly sought after by
commanders of. other companies who
desired to secure information about
military matters, and they always se
cured the desired information. The
boys also received many compliments
on the profeciency they displayed for
such a young company. The boys
stayed in Norfolk Monday night and
were given dinner Tuesday by the
citizens of that place. The members ol
the Moore Rifles and the citizens ol
Norfolk will long be remembered by the

There’s Always a lessen*
It Is an easy thing to account for the
wonderful growth of the Daily State
Journal recently. Its price has been
reduced to BO cents per month without
Sunday or 6S cents with Sunday. The
Journal has always been reliable and
honest, printing the news without fear
or favor. The people of Nebraska realise
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
