Nature's Freaks.
Freak's of nature are to ha pitied by
all persons not entirely devoid of human
feeling'.
Some of course are located differently
from others and dillerent decrees of se
verity are manifest. 'There is the de
formaties of the hotly that may afflict
one person with a weak or misprepor-
tioned back, others there are whose
arms, legs or hands mid lingers are hor-
ril ly c rocked and unsightly. Some poor
ui f rtnnatesare 1 1'nd and others deaf
hut these are all disutilities of the body
and are not to be compared with the nat
ural or acqnired defects of the mind.
When we see a person with such an
unfortunate mental deformity that they
are unable to tell the truth even when it
would !e to their own best interests to
do so ay! cannot even discern the truth
when it is plainly presented, we can only
gaze in wonder a), natures curious de
formity wh'le our synipnhetc feeling,,
nr. lio'.vcd imd meekly extended to one
so greatly ulllicted.
We have in our mind's eye a certain
Jiidge(?) who is ro alllicted ar.d from the
massiveness of his dist ase we are led to
1 1 l ove thnt, it must lie of h iri J t try or
igin such an exalted degree of perfection
us he seems to possess could hardly have
bejrn acquired in the short space of 40 or
50 years.
Poor Judge: our heartfelt sympathy is
extended to one upon whom nature has
lavished affliction with such unmerciful
abundance. What must it be f 3
through life endowed with this malady?
To think that when he would ppeak the
truth and really tries to do so, only the
opposite comes forth and is scattered
broadcast to wound the poor sufferers
feelings and those of spmpathetic friends
who are as powerless as he to prevent
thin' mental deformity.
I oes that same seemingly unkind na
ture endow a disposition to enjoy the
fruits of his own unfortunateness? f not,
then to what d ptii of despondency must
the poor sulfert-r be precip'tited, pro
vided their feelings are of the same line
quality as others. Of course no one be
lieves anything such a person may say,
and they do not expect it, but friends
sii'mld look with pity and not scorn up
on t-ie sulfvrer of natures pecu iar.ty.

Sioux Comity, Nebraska.
Sioux county, Nebraska, seems far away
But the people are coming and com
ing to stay.
Of its fertility we all well know
It could beat the world at any show,
its offers to the people cannot be surpass
ed. In all this world while time does last.
And all the free homes it gives the poor.
The chances are good to keep the wolf
from the door..
Tut ah, of the sin disgrace and shame.
Sohieoue lias injured its elegant name,
ihe attlul row that was made by the

The people are watching and looking for
aid,
And 'tis sure to come through Judge
Kinkaid.

it is expected that the new precinct
lately organized in the south east part
of the county will poll a large vote this

Mas made for.
Wo understand a part of Harrison pre

As we have not noticed any items in
your valuable paper from this precinct
we will write a few.
Weather nice crops good.
Leeling Bros, threshed 300 bushels of
oats from 8 acres and 34 bushels of
wheat from one and a half acres.
Paul Leeling says he does not see why
spme nice young lady does not fall in
love with him; he is awful sweet now-a-days.'
Leeling Bros, have made about 000
gallons of molasses and are still grinding
away. '
We agree with "Moses" of Clare.
"Join Barker, Walker & Co., and put
down the ring."
A road running through this part of
the county, (petitioned for last year) was
surveyed last Friday.
Ned Andrews has as fine a looking bin
of oats as you would wish to look at.
Then say Sioux county is not loming.
Verily she boonieth; with Harrison for

Sir: Tn reply to vour communication

the acj.ion of the postmaster of your
town in requiring third-class postage on
your paper "The Sioux County Jour
nal' pending the decision of the
(r j scnled for commissioner. In response Mr
j Gates staled that he could not support
j W, A. Rauin from the fact that lie was
nominated by men who wefe in no way
identified with the interests of the dele
gates present.
Mr. Gray then presented the name of
Thos. 1 avenport as lieing a man reliable,
and capable of pcifoiniing the duties
of commissioner. Mr. I avenport stated
that hp had in every way tried to evade
the nomination for commissioner except
to publicly refuse to have his name 'ised
and would consider it a favor of the con
vention to lie released from that position
and instead of his name have that of F.
F. Gray used, being a man upon whom
the people could rely and from whom all
parties would receive justice. Mr. Ger
lach then presented the name of J. M.
ment as to its classification, you are in-4 Robinson of Howen Preeinct as a man of
formed that the paper has been decided
by this office to be entitled to transmiss
ion through the mails as second-class
matter, and the postmaster at Harrison
will be instructed to refund the e xcess
over second-class rates of postage col
lected on the same.
Very Respectfully,
II. R. Harms,
Third Assistant P. M. General.
this
Mrs. P. Why do you look so sad
morning Mrs. IJ,
Mrs. JJ Oh! it all comes of that mis
erable stove John bought. It makes life
a burden. It smokes, clogs up and won't
burn; the top is out of shape the over, is
cracked and the ashes fell through and
completely demoralized two lovely
pumpkin pies.
Mrs. P--T00 bad, John ought to have
bought a stove of Wm. Christensen at
Harrison, he keeps the far famed Acorn
and charter Oak stoves, every one of
which he guarantees to give good satis
faction or money is cheerfully refunded.
MORAL: Never exchange a certainty
for an uncertainty.
