Dodge Criterion: Either a peculiar
disease has lately developed among the
stock near Winside or some dog has be
come rabid unknown to its owner and
communicated the disease to other ani
mals. Several cattle in that vicinity be
gan to show signs of some peculiar
malady about fritw middle of last week,
and bacame apparently mad and could
not be restrained in any way, tearing
down whatever barn or fence in which
they were confined. A veterinary sur
geon, Dr. Hammond, of Wayne, was
summoned,and on his advice the animals
were shot, he declaribg that the symp
toms were those oi hydrophobia.

ENGINEERS ARE
NOW SURVEYING
It it understood that the Qreat North
ern road hat surveyors at work west of
O’Neill marking out a line of road for the
extension of the Short Line from O’Neill
to Alliance. Just where the surveyors
are located is not definitely known by
those outside railroad ciroles, but that
| there is truth is in tbe report is shown by
: the following bit of information from
! last night's Sioux City Times:
Confirmation of the report that the
Great Northern has a corps of engineers
in the field survey ing a line from O’Neill.
the westerm terminus of the old Pacific
Short Line, westward to Alliance, Neb.,
; on t*<e line of the Burlington road, wsa
'received yesterday in a private dispatch
from Omaha. It appears that an inves
tigation of the report was made by the
officials of the Fremont, Elkhorn and
Missouri Valley Railway company, and
that its substantiation has given them
no little concern. It was found that the
survey was being run a few miles north
of the old Donald McLean survey,
which crossed the Burlington tbe first
station below Alliance.
. The fear of the Northwestern is that
the extention will not stop at Alliance,
but will be run on the few miles neces
sary to penetrate the Sweet Water valley,
the finest cattle grazing lands in the
United States. This, it is said, will be
I certain if Jim Hill is financially inter
ested in the stock yards at South St.
Paul. It is believed by railroad men
that he would not hesitate to run the
cattle business of the line through Sioux
City lo St. Paul if he could.
“It is plain that the Northwestern is
alarmed over this matter.” said a rail
road official yesterday, “but it might
have known all along that Hill would
not have the Short Line hanging a dead
weight to his system of roads. It must
produce something, and if an extension
is needed, why then an extension it will
be. That is the Hill policy. Whether
be will run tbe line into the Sweet Wat
er valley is difficult to tell. My judg
ment would be that if the Burlington
did not give the Short Line its share of
the cattle business Hill would go
after it.”
At the general office of the Wilmar
and Sioux Falls it Is said that nothing is
known of the movements of the Great
Northern surveyors.

Populist Convention.
The populist county convention, to
elect delegates to the state convention,
was held at the court-house last Satur
and it was a very small gathering. A
delegate from Chambers in addressing
the convention said there were a large
number of townships that had sent no
delegates and whoever happened to be
in the city from any of these townships
was given a seat. The smallness of the
convention does not speak very well for
the ’fluence of the Independent, as that
paper expected a great outpouring of
indignant populists, who would censure
the county board for making The Fron
tier one of the official papers. Eddie
discovered very early in the game that
such a deal could not be worked, and be
trembled all day for fear a resolution
endorsing the action of the board would
be adopted. Eves heaved a sigh and
felt relieved when the convention ad
journed and no ratification sentiments
had been expressed. W. B. Cooper of
Chambers was elected chairman and the
way he tried to “throw it into” some of
his colleagues on the county board was
enough to make a mule laugh.
The following delegates were elected:
John Nolan, P. J. Fritchoff, John Car
ton, E. M. Waring, J.J. Harrington,
J. A. Golden, David Brion. L. G, Lam
bert, W. T. Hayes, Barney Joues, John
M. Stewart and C. W. Hamilton.
The delegates were instructed for M.
F. Harrington for delegate to the nation
al convention. After the selection of
the delegates, Mr. Harrington, being
sent out after as he was not in the con
vention, addressed the meeting for a
half hour, after which adjournment
was taken.
