State Journal: The Denver Times
recently contained an Interesting article
calling attention to the intimate rela
tionship existing between that city and
Duluth. It was emphasized that by
building less than 800 miles of railroad
between Julesburg and O’Neill, a short
er outlet for Denver products would be
formed. This railroad would develop a
large tract of Nebraska land, and would
be a good thing all around. Congress
man Towne is at the head of the
nrnifipt
Exchange: It hat been shown by
analysis that s young lady weighing 160
pounds is composed of 06 pounds of
water, S pounds white of egg, a little
less than a pound of pure glue, 34}
pounds of fat, 8} pounds of phosphate
of lime, 8 ounces of sugar and starch, 7
ounces of phosphate of magnesia, and a
little ordinary table salt. Think of it
young man, That beautiful young lady
whom you worship as a pillar of
unadulterated sweetness, don’t contain
three ounces of sugar.
Exchange: One young lady of Jolin,
Kan., refuses to pay her election bet'
The proposition was made by her
because she was so sure Bryan would be
elected that she agreed to stand on her
head fire minutes if McKinley was
elected, provided a certain young man
would do likewise if Bryan was elected.
She had been telling her friends what
fun it would be to hold the watch and
make "Chawley” stand on his head for
five minutes, but since the election she
has been very quiet, and now declines
to pay the wager.
Silas Purdy and Qua Shrader, of
Atkinson, were arrested by Sheriff
Hamilton last Thursday on a warrant
sworn out b/ Fred Hans, a detective in
the employ of the F. E. & M. V. rail*
road, charging them with stealing coal
from the company. They were brought
to O’Neill Thursday morning and taken
before Judge McCutcban for ttial. A
continuance was taken until Friday
morning, when the case sgainst Purdy
was tried to a Jury in county court.
The jury found him not guilty, and the
company then dismissed the case
against Shrader.
Plattsmouth News: It to pretty cer
tain that there will be a change in the
form of the Australian ballot in
Nebraska before many more elections
are held. And there should be. The
average man neede a towel tied about
his head when he goes into the voting
booth that he may concentrate all of his
mental faeultiee on the pussle. The
form used in Iowa is very simple.
When the voter desires to cast a straight
ballot he has only to mark a croea in a
circle at the head, each party having a
separate column. A still greater im
provement would be for each party to
have an emblem and print it at the head
of the ticket. In thie way a child
could vote as intelligently as a man. *
The damage case of Mrs. Gallagher
against the city of O'Neill was tried to
an arbitration board connoting of M.
D. Long, John J. Kelly and Chas. Wil
cox, the first of the week. R. R. Dick
son and Judge Roberts represented thy
plaintiff, while City Attorney Carton
looked after the Intereet of the city.
The plaintiff alleged that In June, 1MB,
while coming from church, one Sunday
morning, she fell on the sidewalk near
Mann’s store, on account of a defect In
the walk, and received injuries which
confined her to her bed for about nine
"vimuicu iraiuiMcuk injury
to her beck. Some time I ait summer
she brought suit against the city for
$1,000 damage for said infuries. Short
ly before court convened, both parties
agreed to submit the esse to arbitration,
and it was tried M week, the board
deciding for ^e uty. City Attorney
Carlon is netting an* enviable record
for hlmselfgy his management, and the
care he tikes in guarding the cltr's
intsrMgk Be has looked after the
intereata of the tax payers of this city'
in threw, damage cases, and in these
flees has been pitted against some of
the sbleet attorneys in the northwast,
but notwithstanding this fact he secured
the verdict In each case. It is con*
ceded by nearly all attorneys that it is,
very hard to prevent a person from
securing a verdict against a corporation
or municipality in a suit for damages,
and Mr. Carton’s victories must be very,
gratifying to him and his many friends,.
The boxing entertainment came off
$u schedule time at the opera house last
Saturday evening, and the contestants
anus greeted- with., a crowded house.
AftW a few boots between some of
"little” fellows, Xd Graham and Geo.
Parnell donned the gloves for a three
round friendly "go.” It was rather
tame, as Parnell, while he Is the larger
man, is no match for Graham, who
could hop around and tap him when
and where he pleased: With proper
training, however, we believe that Par
nell would be able to hold his own with
any of them, even some of the famous
heavy weights. Qtgj^et- the important
bouts was a six' riflgi ’"tamp” between
Harry Gillespie npEf*hecy Gwin for a
purse. Guy Hamilton was bottle hold
er for Gillespie, while “Sallv” Gwin
looked after Tracy. Dominick Mo
Caffrey was selected as referee. The
boys showed the crowd a good time,
and put up a good article of “scrap.”
Gwin wu the aggressor all through the
Bght, and several times crowded Gilles
pie to the ropes, but Harry got in some
good ducks and dodges, and got out of
the way. He kept away and. let Gwin
lurcc man era unm no was nearly 0111 Or
wind, when Harry got in a few good
ones that scored several* points to bis
credit. The referee declared it a draw
and divided the parse; the decision
giving general satisfaction. 8am
Thompson and Ed Graham then enter
tained each other and the crowd for a
few minutes to the satisfaction of all.
Dominick McCaffrey then gave an
exhibition of ball punching that was
thoroughly enjoyed by the “sports,”
after which he put the gloves on with
his brother, Joe, for a two-round
“bout." ‘For a heavy man Dominick is
very quick on his feet, likewise with bis
“dukes,” as was observed bv the crowd
when he tapped Joe three times before
he could get away. It ia very bard for
a man to show what he can do unless
he has someone who can make it fairly
interesting for him. But there ia no
question but what be could make some
of the “big boys" lay down now if he
should go up against them.

Subsequently, the irrigation of tha

before stated. Alfalfa rarely needs
Irrigation except in the very dry end
hot regions of this country, but can be
grown anywhere that the subsoil con
ditions are suited to It and tha annud
rainfall amounts to 19 or IS inches. In
regions where the rainfall rangea from
94 inches upwards, the plant should be
cultivated upon rolling landa to insure a
ready draining of the surface after the
rains.
It should be out as soon as the first
few purple blossoms are to be seen over
the field. If you watt until the whole
field is In blossom, the stalhs will then
hare become woody or toughly fibrous
and unfit for feed, but If out at the right
time the whole plant will be eaten with
aridity by your stock. In the arid re
gions all farm stock is fattened upon it,
including hogs and chickens. Look
out for the bloating of your stock when
first turned upon the pasture, or if they
break into the fields of the plant, for
they gorge themselres upon it at their
first feeding so that fermentation seta in
and runs its course with great rapidity.
The quickest and surest remedy is to
open the paunch by means of a small
sharp-pointed knife blade inserted in the
open space Just in front of the hip bone
and between that and the ribs on the
right hand side of horned cattle. It is
best to prevent such attacks by a pre
paratory feed of the stock for a week or
ten days before turning them into the
pasture, giving them small quantities of
green alfalfa at a time, and it will be
well to take tbe stock out of the field
after a short feed upon It each day for
two or three days before leering them
in for all day. Very truly yours,
Chas. W. Irish,
Chief of Irrigation Inquiry.
