The proprietor of a gambling den Swas
shot by his mistress, at Chadron a ' few
days ngo. The woman was not an ex
pert shot as she shot the fellow irt the
leg instead of the head. Perhaps he will
know better than to turn her oul of
doors again, as that was the provocation
the woman had for committing the act.
The election returns come in slowly
from all over the state and those which
have come in contain many surprises,
both to republicans and democrats. Of
.1 it.
course me repunncan state ticket ' was
elected, but by what majority has not
of-'yet been learned. The county tickets
are badly split throughout the state,
owing to local fights. The indications
are that the republican candidates in
this county ran ahead of their ticket and
are elected by large majorities.
The appraisers of the postofftce site in
Omaha have filed their report. The al
lowances to real estate owners foots up
to SS4,S7i and the claims of tenants
foot up to 12,245.23, making a total of
1397,119.23. By the time this sum is
added to the cost of the building it will
make quite an expensive government
building in Nebraska. It is pretty well
demonstrated by this tliat real estate in
the metropolis of Nebraska is getting to
be pretty valuable property.
The annual report of the secretary of
agriculture demonstrates that Secretary
Rusk is fully competent to have charge
of the department and also that the
question of agriculture overshadows ev-
ery other enterprise in the United states.
It is only a question of time when the
j farmers will become aware of their
I strength and the importance of their
CI a
products in the business of the world
and then they will make their power
felt The idea that a man who does not
know enough to do anything else is
smart enough to be a farmer is fast pass
ing out of date. The farmer of today
must study -his business as closely as the
merchant, banker or railroad magnate
if h would succeed, and unless he does
this he soon falls behind his neighbors
and is left far in the lurch in the race for
success, me department oi agncunmo
cannot but prove of vast benefit to the
farmers of the United States, and it is
Anlv ill h regretted that it was not
established sooner.
Judge GrofT handed down a decision
as commissioner of the general land of
fice last week which iudicates tliat he
proposes that justice shall be done as far
as possible. It was in ine case oi jui...
L. Anderson vs. Myers, and was taken
nr. on anneal from the Niobrara land
district. The evidence showed that the
defendant, Mary Myers, had acted in
good faith, had improved the land and
, compiied with the law in all respects,
I except Uiat she had not actually resided
L the ianci. It was shown by the evi-
dence of phys,cians that she was subject
to heart disease and that it was not ex-
i:- rr hr in ve all alone. xne
commissioner says that the law does not
contemplate that life and health should
he sacrificed to maintain a resident.
Oroff is bringing his legal knowledge in
to good use in the land department anu
he is also displaying that good common
n for which he has always been no
ted for possessing, and shows that what
the noor homesteader needs is justice
....
and fair dealing.
