A special telegram from Lincoln yeo

members out of a probable hundred vot
ing against it. The bill has good sup.
port in the fsanate and it Is an almotti

a law.
A prohibitory liquor law amendment.
has been introduced in the Territorial

all know.

The Sioux County Republican, an off
shoot of the democratic IIi;rald at Harri
son, has ceased to exist. It was mainly
started to give vent to the moulliings of
one "Judge" Hunter, and as it did not
take him long to run out of wind the
life of the paper was necessarily short.

The newspapers have appointed a part
of the cabinet oflicers for the incoming
administration and this is how it is ar
ranged. Blaine will be secretary of
state, Allison secretary" of the tmisuvy,
Alger secretary of war and Wanamaker
postmaster general. Of course Mr. Har
rison may refuse to make the appoint
ments as presented but it will be no
fault of the the generous and free heart
ed editors who have so unselfishly under
taken the task.
Winter will be compelled to get a
move on itself very soon if it intends
putting in an appearance in this section

Thus far we haven't had enough cold

Republican's Attention.
The republican league of Nebraska
and each republican club in the state is
entitled to send four delegates, besides
the president of each organization, who
shall be ex-ofllcio a delegate, to the re
publican league convention to be held at
Baltimore beginning February 28. The
many active clubs in Nebraska should
give their state a strong representation
in that convention, and delegates should
be chosen now and reported soon, in or
der that the executive committee of
the convention may make the necessary
arrangments.
Ample accommodations can be secured
for all delegates and others who wish ti)
attend the inaugural ceremonies, if no
tice is given in time.

more is a much better place at which to

it will be during the inaugural, tliau at

Created Great Excitement.
Harrison, Neb., Jam. 30 Special
Telegram to The Bee. The news about
the bill in the house of Representatives,
providing that stock shall be restrained
from running at large in all counties of
the state was received here yesterday
and created great excitement. The bet
ter class of citizens and settlers hope the
bill will pass, but parties known to be in
sympathy with the stockmen have beet
in secret caucus and are very abusive of
those members who are supporting the
bill. Sioux county is a free range coun
ty, but it is openly charged tliat the
vote making it so was a fraud, and a
great deal of bitterness has been enyn
dered. Things had been fairly quiet for
a while, but now the fight has broken
out afresh and with renewed bitterness.
Omaha Bee.
Following the arrival of the above
item of news in the Bee on last Friday
the following obtuse notice was posted
in front of the postoflice by someone
probably endowed with more leisure
than brains:
NOTICE.
A Secret Caucus of the Best Element of
Harrison will be held at the Town well
this Friday Evening, Feb., 1st.
Per order of the Managers of the Va
riety Show of Rotten Row.
House Roll 95.
Feb.
In the Omaha Bee of Saturday,
2, the following appeared:
Harrison, Neb., Jan. 30. To the Ed
itor of the Bee: As members of the ex
ecutive committee of the Harrison board
of trade we desire and do enter our ear
nest protest against the language used
by L. W. Gilchrist, representative to the
Nebraska legislature from the Fifty
third district, in reference to house roll
No, 95, inasmuch as its statements of
the poverty of the settlers of Sioux
utity are not true. Nor is it true that
they are unable to fence their crops, as
a large majority have their cultivated
lands under fence, and many of them
their entire farms. We deny that there
is any ill-feeling between the stock men
and faimers of Sioux county. We fur
ther assert that Mr.' Cihhrist has been
misinformed in regard to Wyoming catr
ti-j destroying the crops in Sioux county.
1 Filially, we protest against the lan-
v ii-C-icKa:27;iut alow
cause it is false and malicious, but be
cause it is calculated to injure Sioux
county abroad by advertising a state of
affairs in Sioux county that never had
any cxistance, and does not exist today.

Vice President Harrison Board of Trade.

Wc ask permission through your col
ums to publish the proceedings of a por
tion of the citizens of tho town of Har
rison in reference to Mr. Gilchrist:
At a meeting of the citizens of Harri
son and Sioux county, held at Harrison
Tuesday evening, January 29, regardless
of political opinions, to consider the act
ion of L. W. Gilchrist, representative
from the Fifty-third district to tho Ne
braska legislature, in relation to the
herd law, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we condemn the act-
tion of L. W. Gilchrist in advocating
the repeal of sections 9 and 10, article 3,
chapter 2, of the compiled statutes as be
ing a violation of pledges made to his
constituents here, and further that the
passage of said bill would be destructive
of the best interests of Sioux couuty,
and in direct opposition to their wishes
twice expressed at the polls.
Resolved, that the representations
made by L. W. Gilchrist in the legisla
ture in reference to the relations exist
ing between the cattle men (so called)
and farmers of Sioux county is false, and
without any foundation in fact.
Resolved, That copies of these pro
ceedings be forwarded to the Omaha
Herald, Bee, Republican and Nebraska
State Journal, with request to publish
the same.
R. W. Windsor,
A. J. Babcock, Chairman,
Secretary.
P. S. The term cattlemen, as gener
ally understood, is a misnomer in Sioux
county, as great herds of cattle are no
longer to be found. Those engaging in
the cattle business .are simply stock
farmers.
The plain facts regarding the above
are these. Some of the disgruntled poli
ticians who opposed Mr. Gilchrist's elec
tion held a secret caucus and assisted by
a few others who favor the free range
law, passed and adopted the above reso
lutions. No public, meeting of the citi
zens of Harrison was held and no meet-
ing of the board of trade or its execu
tive committee.
Mr Gilchrist did not pledge himself to
either vide of the question of fence or
herd law during the campaign and is
now only following where his good
judgment leads and a majority of the
settlers of Sioux county heartily endorse
Mr. Gilchrist's action id the matter, the
above to the contrary notwithstanding.
Among the believers in free range are
few who will uphold such underhanded
action even in support of their own
measures.
The Herd Law.
Representative Gilchrist is champion
ing a measure in the legislature which
will amend the statute so as to abolish
the provisions for suspending the herd
iaw. He made a strong argument to
the Horn last week, Thursday, stating
that the day of big range herds in this
country was forever gone, and that Ne
braska was now emphatically a farm
state, and that invariably the herd law
is a benefit to the fanners, while on the
frontier the cattlemen are fighting for
suspension. The measure has some
.strong opposition, but there is a strong
prospect of its passage. Dawes County
Journal.
Ye, Why Sot
A rather peculiar petition was pre
sented to the Kansas house Thursday by
Mr. Sherman of Rooks county. It was
from 132 citizens af that county. They
want the legislature to make an appro
priation for the purpose of experiment
ing in tlie matter of securing artificial
rainfall by means of cannonading. The
petition was as follows: "We, your pe
titioners, many of us veterans of the
late war, knowing from experience that
heavy rainfalls followed each battle or
cannonading, and believing tliat this fact
indicates that man may produce rainfall
by artificial perturbation of the atmos
phere when otherwise it would not be
experienced, and believing it would be
wise ror the state or Kansas to make a
reasonable experiment in the matter of
attempting to produce artificial rainfall,
would most respectfully ask you to
make an appropriation out of the treasu
ry for the purpose of such experiments
either by cannonading or otherwise as
may be deemed best." Now that it be-
gins to look like prohibition and the de
mand for water will be increased, some
experiments of the kind might be profit
able in Nebraska. Nothing could be
more cheerful than to go out to the
back yard, on a hot, dry day, and drop a
charge of powder in the slot to get a
nice moist rain. State Journal.

Mrs. J. J. Zimmerman, with three
children and Miss Lizzie Steers, sister
and aunt of T. O. Williams, arrived on
last Saturday's train, and Mr. Zimmer
man with a car of stock, Implements
and household goods is daily expected.
Some terribly crooked buggy tracks
were seen up the canyon the morning
after Mr. Nolan's dance. Well, some
folks never will learn to drive straight
with one hand.
We are much obliged to you Mr. Ed
itor for tendering the loan of your paste
pot, "devil" etc., but think it would
be of little use as we liave a "devil"
among us who can tear out chinking and
mortar faster than a dozen devils could
put it in.
Elias Fisk, Who left here some ti me
since for his home in Tripp, Dakota,
monkeyed with sharpers on the train and
was relieved of his "wad'' between Har
rison and Chadron, and was obliged to
discontinue his journey for want of
funds.
Mr. Zimmerman with his car arrived
Tuesday.

Editob journal:
Sir: We notice a piece in tlie Herald
to the effect that the boys who attended
the "War Bonnet .Dance," had fun
enough that they ought to be willing
to pay for the damages done the school
house by some "scape grace." We
think Warbler is right in advising; "put
the blame where it belongs" and not sad
dle the expense onto innocent persons.
It would be of no use to send your
"devil," papers and paste pot Mr. Editor,
for the simple reason that it would take
an imp or two to keep the other devils
from tearing thorn off before they were
dry enough to keep out much cold wind.
It is an "ornery" trick for a person or
persons to vent their spleen on an inof
fensive school house just because tliey
were disappointed in a little scheme of
their own.
