Did some one say it never rained in
northwest Nebraska?
Reports indicate that the chances for
republican success in Montana are inj
proving. It is to be hoied that the new
state will come out strongly iu favor of
the party of liberty, justice and pro
gress. There will be forty thousand census
enumerators inythe field next June and
Superintendent Porter has already re
ceived one hundred thousand applications
for the positions. He ought to make
good selections from that number.
A liail storm struck Banner county
last Friday and destroyed the crops
along a strip two miles wide and ten
miles long. The town of Harrisburg was
in its path and 140 window lights were
broken out in the houses of the town.
J. Sterling Morton met with quite a
severe loss at his place near Nebraska
City a few days ago. The recent heavy
rains caused his dam to burst and all his
boats and about 20,000 fish, some of
them three years old, have disappeared.
An electric motor lias Ireen construct
ed which at a test demonstrated a capac
ity of two miles per minute on a circle,
or three miles per minute on a straight
track. The machine is the fastest ever
yet constructed and scientists'are great
ly interested in it.
A young attorney of Minneapolis has,
during the past year forged notes to ihe
amount of $227,000. It was used in real
estate speculations and the investments
went against him. He was confronted
with the evidenee of his crime and com
pletely broke down and confessed his
guilt.
A run was made on the banks of
Washington a few days ago. Caused by
rumor that a stringency would occur in
the money market. It made some of
the bank official lwstle4ively--to -meet
the demands of the depositors. None of
the banks suffered in consequence of the
rumor.
Chadron has a proposition to vote bonds
to clean up all old debts and put up some
pew city buildings. There are times when
ft pays to vote bonds which can be placed
at a low rate of interest, but such ac
tions should be performed by the people
pf a city or county only upon careful
deliberation.
The telegraph rate question is still be
ing discussed , by Postmaster General
Wanamaker and Dr. Norvin Green, pres
ident of the Western Union telegraph
ppmpany. It ig the meeting of two men
pf ability and the communications will
doubtless display a good deal of business
tact on each side.
At a meeting of the state develop
ment association a resolution was adopt
ed requesting the county commissioners
pf each county to appropriate $300 to
help advertise the state. That looks all
yery well but we question the right of
the county commissioners to make such
am appropriation.
The trustees of the town of Covington
are in the "soup." They have been col
lecting an assessment of $40 per month
from each of the keepers of houses of
ill fame, but no returns have been made
to the county treasurer. An investiga
tion into their official acts will probably
make a revelation.
The business men of Johnstown, Pa.,
are organizing to find out how far
the liability of the South Fork
fishing club extended in the recent disas
ter. It is to be hoped that it will be es
tablished that such institutions cannot
endanger a community by the erection
of dams which are unsafe.
The importance of having a street
grade established is forcing itself upon
the people of Harrison as much as it
ever has. The authorities contemplate
putting in a number of crossings and
having a good deal of side walk laid and
the question is at what grade to lay it.
It appears to us that the' most of the
.buildings and walks are too high and if
fhe grade is not establislied before more
buildings are erected there will be a
good chance for a bitter grade light
among the property owners.
At the meeting of the republican
state central committee at Omaha on
the 7th, it was decided to hold the re
publican state convention at Hastings on
October 8th, to convene at 8 o'clock a.
ni. The representation is the same as
last year, one delegate at large for each
county and one delegate for each 100 re
publican votes cast, or major fraction
Utareof. Tbe official call will probably
be issued in a short time and will show
the numbt-r of delegates each county is
entitled to. As them art but few of-

Capt. W. C. Henry lias been appointed
by Gov. Thayer as commandant of tlie
soldiers" home at Grand Island. Capt.
Henry is well known to all the members
ef the G. A. R. in this state, liaving been
department commander of tliat organiza
tion. He will undoubtedly fill the posi
tion to the satisfaction of all.
The Omalia Bee of last Tuesday speaks
plainly against the newspap rs trying a
case tliat is in the courts. This is a mat
ter that demands attention. The decis
ions of many a jury is made up, for or
against a prisoner, on accounts gleaned
from the press. Such verdicts do not
tend to raise the standard of justice and
should be discountenanced.
Mormonism received a black eye at
the recent municipal election, when the
Gentiles gained control of the city gov
ernment at Salt Lake City. The days of
Mormon rule are numbered and it is to
be hoped tliat it will not be long until
the distasteful jiart of the doctrine of
that church will be blotted out. The
national administration offers to do all
in their power to enforce the laws in
that respect.
The assessment roll of Nebraska
shows an increase over last
year of over $6,000,000. When we take
into consideration the fact that property
in this state is not assessed at over one
fourth of its cash value, its growth in
dicated amounts' to over $24,000,000 dur
ing the past year. If any other state
can beat tliat record we should like to be
informed what part of the union it is lo
cated in.
Burke, the man brought from Canada
on the charge of being implicated in the
Cronin murder, has been identified, since
his arrival in Chicago, as Frank Wil
liams, the man who rented the cottage
of Carlson where the murder was com
mitted. When Carlson and his wife
confronted Williams he turned pale and
pretended not to know them. The of
ficers believe that the mystery of the
murder of Dr. Cronin will be cleared up
in the near future.
Tliat it pays to advertise in The Jour
nal was pretty well illustrated last
week. In The Joitojal of the 1st inst.
appeared a notice of a watch being lost
and on the 8th inst. the watch was de
livered at Griswold & Marstellers as re
quested iu the advertisment. The watch
was found by Geo. H. Turner as he was
going home from town. Mr. Turner
lives at Gramercy, about twenty miles
from Harrison, and had the loser of the
watch deended on verbal inquiry the
chances are tliat the watch would not
have reached its owner. But when The
Journal reached Mr. Turner's home on
its regular weekly visit he saw the no
tice and the first time he came to Har
rison he brought the watch with him
and it was restored to its owner. It is
fortunate that the watch was not found
by some dishonest person who would
have appropriated it to his own use.
While in Chadron a few days ago we
took a stroll in the east part of town
and was struck by the number of neat,
new cottages nearing completion, most
of them about the same grade of houses.
We asked the friend who accompanied
us what the cause of the similarity was.
He replied that nearly all of the houses
were built by mechanics, railroad em
ployees, clerks, etc., who obtained the
means with which to build themselves
a home through the building and loan
association of that place. There is noth
ing that will do more to build up a town
and make people feel like living there
than a building and loan association. It is
an established fact that a man makes a
belter citizen who owns a dwelling than
the one who depends on some one else to
furnish a shelter for liisaufily. It is to
be hoped that as soon as Harrison is
large enough so tliat enough stock can
be taken to put in working condition,
that our people will take hold of the
matter and organize a building and loan
association for this place. The suhscrij
tions need not all be taken in the town.
It is as good for a farmer as for any one
else and we hope it will not be long un
til an effort will be made in that direction.
The county commissioners of Sioux
county will soon be called upon to act on
three petitions for license to sell liquor in
White River precincti The petitions are
for the period of one year, while in all
probability the saloons would not run
longer than during the encampment of
the United States troops. If the appli
cants are compelled to put up the license
fee fixed by law -$500 each it would
take a good share of their profits during
the time they run. If we have the right
idea of the law, the license can only be
granted to run until May 1, 1890, and
they must pay the license at tne rate of
500 for the year. Tlie encampment will
be a great time for toughs and gamblers,
and will be a great snap for the saloon
keepers. It is a serious question for the
commissioners to decide, for if Uiey grant
the petitions, allowing the applicants to
pay the license quarterly, as has been the
rule in titis county, it may get litem into
trouble; and we are informed that if tbe
petitions are not granted that it is quite
likely the saloons will run without a
license and take chances of being prose
cuted. The encampment is to be a big
thing, and we hope it will pass off with
out involving Sioux county in a lot of
tlftosi vt, criming prosecutions.
Tlie indications are that General Alger,
ot Michigan, will m plated commander
of the Grand Army of tlie Republic at
its meeting in Milwaukee. Commission
er Tanner was talked of for the osition
but positively declined tlie honor.
The contest for the speakership of the
next house of representatives has nar
rowed to Reed, MrKinley and Burrows,
with the first named apparently in the
lead. Major Mckinley is the peer of
any of them and would make an excel
lent presiding officer.
Jeff Davis is once more coming into
notoriety by bringing suit against the
publishers of liis book. "The Rise and
Fall of the Southern Confederacy. " It
will be a long stride toward overcoming
sectional feeling between tlie north and
south when the leader of the rebellion is
gathered to his fathers.
It is a singular fact tliat in New York
money can be borrowed at the low rate
of 3 er cent, per annum, while in the
west it is hard to get funds at 10 per
cent, per annum. In the w est projierty
is constantly increasing in value while
it would seem that in New York it had
certainly reached the highest possible
value.
Tlie Brown-Sequard elixer of life is
causing gi-eat excitement among medical
scientists both in the United States and
Europe and experiments are being made
lrefore committees of physicans selected
for that purpose. Should the discovery
prove to impart the life-renewing pov
erties claimed, it will work a revolution
in medical scienc-e,
Emmet Corbin, a clerk of the Sioux
commission, lias become insane in conse
quence of the excitement connected
with the work of the commission. He
is sometimes very violent and it is feared
he will injure some one. He escaped
from a sanitarium in Chicago by jumjv
ing out of a second story window, and
has not sine been seen.
It is'reported that tlie prisons in Ire
land in wtiich political offenders are con
fined are veritable pest houses and all
who enter there leave hoe behind. It.
would apiear as if the British govern
ment was strong enough to look after
the interests of her subjects without re
sorting to such cowardly measures as to
confine offenders in death-tnis
