This subject is up aguin for diwus sion in Sioux county; nd it is worth the while of every laboring man, every man vfho tills the ground, every poor man to furiously consider the question. The Kreatest good to the greatest num ber with injiiKtioe to none is a motto worthy of even' honest man, and to live !rd kt live is Vut humanity the innate rV'ht of every one. To receive the benefit of your own toil is but simple justice; to toil and be despoiled by others is robbery. Our government is generous, and pro poses to every person without a home to give him 1''0 acres at least if he will but comply with the governmental laws con corning said land. Ma ny persons) ha ve come to this county to a vail themselves of the government's ierositv aud to build their future hemes. They have fled from th aristoc- rcv and monopolies of the east that they might in the free west exercise their rights. Whatever the United States guaran tees to a man is his, and he has the ex clusive right to it, to use and improve'it as he may see fit, so long as he does not infrin-'e on the rights of others. What ever a man can raise on his 100 acres is therefore his, whether lie lives within a rail, a. stone, a four-wire fence or no fence at all, as he may choose. Ho is monarch of that much and his right none can honestly or successfully dispute. I oes some one say it will be mor pjf ita.'Mo to raise stock than to rttt gr in, vegetables, etc.? Now Ut u see: Men long in tlie west say it requires ten acres of nataral grass to keep a cow. Then it will require 1G0 ncres to keep Sixteen cows. The last two years1 experience here demonstrates the fact that we can beat that three or four times over by cultiva tion. Say, would it not be better to raise cows, grain, etc., all? 8ome can do otiwrwise Z they prefer. Furthermore, the most of us are una 1 le to own sixteen cows, just now, but a few years' protection in our labors would uiutile us to own them and more too, and to sustain them on one ICO acres. Every acre put in cultivation adds two dollars to its assessed valuation, which if we were allowed to do instead of us ing our time and means to fence would soon amount to more than all the stock in the county; and would have all our other property besides. Nor is it the large herds we have to contend against, for whea the country is taken up these herds, after the old style, must be abandoned. The country in some parts of the county is now prac tically all taken aud the days of great tiuvU are at an end. But it is the small herds and small men lliat we want protection against; men ow mng three or lour or a dozen old cows or bronchos, men who think they own all their own land and lifteen-six Wentlis of their neighbor's lands. Many persons have been kept from im proving hundreds and thousands of acres in this county, because they had not the means to fence, nor the protection with out fencing, against greedy and unprin cipled person with a few head of stock, so they could live and earn the means to fence, it always pays to fence when you can, as soon as you can. Many oth ers have stayed away lrom the county for the same reasons. Others have had enough destroyed in the last two yoars lor want of protection, to have fenced their farms well could they have retain ed their crops. More still, the small herds must be founded in and corralled every night or be subjected to be taken up or lost by straying or Leaig stolen or of being swallowed up in the large herds, it will cost less to herd than to sustain the loss es by the above causes. Htill another good reason for herding; viz: Any one having fcood stock does not want it ruined by a lot of scrubs, or mongrels. There is not a legal fence in Sioux county, and so far as damages go, you could no more recover damages wan the present style of lencing, than though you liad no fence at ail. lout but not least. litis county is for the luany aud not for the few only, and the many are here and many more are coming and coming to stay, and to have and control what is theirs. Right and majority will make might. Your Respectfully, A, Uiunan. for it.

Adjourned to meet Saturday Oct. 6th, 1888. C CJajuboh, Clerk. The Sioux County Journal of last week, edited and published by W. E. Patterson, late foreman of the Reporter; was quite sensational. The Journal has taken oc casion to animadvert upon the public conduct il one Satterlee who is con nected with the Sioux County Herald, a rival paper, and who has also held var ious official positions in which, according to the Journal, he has bled the county quite severely. The Journal has ap peared to be able to prove it assertions. n order to save his character, Satterlee has resorted to a criminal prosecution against both Elmer and also one Walker, who r'ppears to be a partner in the paper. They were both arraigned, plead not guilty, and gave bonds without trouble for their appearance, and this will end probably the farce of the libel suit Or if it goes farther, like other iuen who have tried like experiments; he will And his character not worth as much as he thought it was, by the time he gets through Um trial But IB addition ia the libel suit, Walk er was attacked by night and struckwilh a bludgeon. The Journal Mems to take it all quite philosophically and sfiowsi no signs of crawfishing. Adair Co., 0a.) Baporter. b. W. Hester la erecting a bottse on Le claim. . , . Oeo.

W: Carey had a valuable young Clydesdale stallion bit by a rattlesnake this week; his recovery is yet doubtful. There is occasionally some oiu claim' ing to have found valuable mineral in this vicinity; the lost that came to our notice was some very beautiful speci mens of pyrites of iron which a number of inexperienced people called Gold these specimens are undoubtedly foreign substance; and have in all probability been thrown in the creek where they were found, to create nn excitement. Mr. Davenport of White River is favorably mentioned as independent can didate for County Commissioner. A cloud of sorrow settled upon the house of John Boesel caused by the death of their infant son Willie. The parents have the heart felt sympathy of all their acquaintances. Willie was. the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Boesel: He was interred in the Unionville Cemetery on the 4th instant Mr. Boesel, who is better known as Zither Dick, is in an almost crazed condition, and the mother, as the casket was about to lie low ered into the vault, swooned and lay in an uncon- cious condition for same time. The sawyer at the upper sawmill met With a serious accident a few days ago. He was tightening a bolt when the wrench slipped olf and threw his land into tne saw. He lost a part of his hand but managed to escape without further loss of limb. We never saw so many new buildings going up in any .settlement at one time, as there is now being built in this valley. Some of the farmers contemplate com mencing corn husking the coming week. Mr. Fred. lYocunier willstart a shingle machine to work here in a few days. We think the political death knell of Mr. Satrcrlce bus licen sounded and; while you are at it, ring it for some more of them, for it has to lie done soon any how, W. H. P.
