Two Nerraska ed low wlrp ped iu one

The enraged subse riher wlio c-oulJ face a

harmless. This thing of wh pping edit

The average editor is u m;M. inoffensive
sort of a chap, who deserves a better re
ward for Ills work than an extensive
sliifrgin modeled on the G thie plan.
Ilia labors are principally of an intellect

hanlc n his knuckles or stimulate the
growth of his mus les. He is tiier, fore
at a disadvantage when a big loafer with
a hand like a 1 ase burner sails into him,
and it is natural lliat he should be done

iitrui tions to" pound the tar and otla r
ingredients out of the man vi ho did the
slugging. His expenses ayd fines could
be paid by the association and he would
return with vii tory pirclud upon h's
banners, vindicating the dignity of the
I rofession and carrying terror to the
hearts of those who make a prat tice of
whipping writers. This scheme is the
only feasible one, and although it is the
result of long yuirs of study and re

The courts have decided thnt suhscril)
ers who refuse to take papers from the
postolfice, or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facia, evidence of
intentional fraud, and may be dealt with
in the iriininal courts.
If any person orders his pner diwon

the piibbhhi r may cont nue to send it
until payment is made, and collect the
whole amount whether the paper is ta

no legal discontinuance until payment is
made in full.
A postmaster is required to give no

not answer the law) when a subscriber
does not take his paper out of the office,
and state the reason for its not. being ta

The latest postal laws are such that
newt -paper publishers can have arrested j
for fraud any one who takes a paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this law the
man who allows his subscription to run
for some t ine and then orders it discon

An editor in this country does not

makes paste, attends all the meetings,
reads a lot of trash to get a l.ttle news,
does job pr.nt ng, runs the hand press,
runs errands, sweeps out once a month,
makes out bills once a month and then
makes them out over again next month

you know that I was out hunting yesterday?

"Well, I was, and I thought jou
might want to make a local notico of it,
so I came over to give you the particu
lars."
"1 id you kill anything?'
"Well 1 should say so. I made one of
the most remarkable shots on record;
killed two rabbits at one shot. Going to
mention it, ain't you?"
"certainly, Mr. Nimrod."
"Can't you make it a little conspicu

'Why, of course. I'll have both of

I wonder if Justice Mason will get his

givt a big free range dance. Wonder if
he will invite his herd law friends to partake.
The Free Range Ball at the hall last
Thursday evening was a decided success
both in point of numbers and enthusiam.
Notwithstanding the preceeding cold day
and snow, a large crowd of the pleasure
seeking community gathered at an early
hour from far and near, and the dancing
began early. Messrs Galpin, Bartk't and
Galpin and Mrs, Murphy furnished the
music successfully and to the satisfac
tion of all. The Harrison cornet band
rendered several selections in the hall
before the regular routine of business
was taken up. Eight set danced at once,
having very litt e room for lookers-on,
though what was left was all taken. At
lt;30 supMr was served at both hotels,
over fifty persons partaking nt each
place. After super dancing was again
taken up and continued until a late no
early hour and all had had thair fill and
departed for their homes feeling that a
pleasant evening had been'spent.

your Shut up; set down or I'll fine you
for contempt of court." Heavens! what
conte-ipt! You further say in that ve
hicle -if slander and defamation; that if
any t.ie doubts the guilt of Mr. Walker
he is invited to call at the Judge's
office. The people of Sioux county will
in dui time find out who is guilty and
who fc-, not.
Now Judge I feel sorry for you. Hon
estiy , 1 innk you would tie a lairer man
if yon would drink less whiskey and beer
and .'-fc.bi-r up so that what little Lrains(?)
you have would hi able to clear up
and I -dp you to do something more near

In reply to the article in the Repulili-
can headed "Facts and Figures," by L-
w. nryan, I will simply say that it is
laise. Mr. isryan ilul some work on a
tie contract for which he got his pay in
full f. nd not as he says only got his
l)! ji an old pair of boots and a couple
of Government blankets. At the time
Bryan was working lor me l had in my
employ from 20 to 40 men and here are
the names of a few who are still in Sioux
countv, and who will give testimony as
to the truth or falsity of the statement
made in the Republican.
( has. L. Tuhbs, John Mack, Joseph
Johnson, P. L. McCrea, Chas. Plimpton,
Leopold I eBuek, S. W. Kemp, Win.
Benway, Geo. E. Coak, Albert Rand,
Michael Ruffing, Jackson Kreisler, L). J.
Majors, Joseph Parsons, Wm. II. Hawn,
M. J. O'Connell, Wm. Schleier, Andrew
lahhnan, Michael Schonebaum, Wm.
Schonebaum and others.
If Mr. Bryan had fulfilled his contract
with me the same as the others above
mentioned he would then have had some
money coming to him, and he, like the
rest of those that worked for me, would
have been paid for every single tie he
made. But Mr. Bryan, instead of doing
his work as agreed, left the work and 1
had to pay John Mack and his men to
complete the job, for instead of making
ties he made a lot of culls that were re
jected by the company.
A few days before election Bryan stat
ed to Joseph Parsons that I owed him
f 100, but that if I would give him a cow
he would call it square and vote and do
all he could for me during election. I
have not bought any votes and am not
in the vote buying business.
Mr. Bryan himself is a good worker,
and I know, from the amount of work
done by himself, he should have made
more money, but he kept about him
from three to nine starved out loafers
all winter who cost him more than he
could possibly earn, and if Bryan had
kept account of his bills he wonld not
have made the statement he did, for 1
believe him to be truthful and honest.
Respectfully,
Gborge Walker.
