It permits all citizens to vote ex cept those who cannot read and write. If the intelligent and educated people have control there need be little fear of perpetuity of the new government. We are in receipt of the first issue of the JViiW. t!e new Hastings daily. Tlie management in in On hand of J. W. Kindlier and W. B. Palmer looks after the financial interest of llie paper. Ttie editor is Walt Maaon, whose ability a a writer as well known and reoognimd. It looks as if Bastings was the gainer of a good newspaper firm and if the city dees what is rijrht by the ies. it cannot but prove beneficial to alL A trio of professional shop-lifters were caught at Friend a few days ago, having first got hold of quite a quantity of goods at the various stores of the town. It appears that a good niany petty thieves have been traveling through the state and people should look out for them. Hon. Robert W. Furnas has been elected president of the international as sociation of fairs and expositions. Ne braska may well feel proud of the com pliment paid to Mr. Furnas for to him is largely due the wonderful success of the Nebraska state fair which lias attracted so much attention to our state and its resources. Lincoln is hard at work trying to se cure the location of a college at that place by tlie Seventh fiay AdventisU. The fact is well estaWislied that Lincoln is the educational center of our state and those interested in the location of institutions of learning look ujxrn it with favor. Such enterprises bring to a place a very desirable class of people and t is to be hoped that tlie capital city 11 be successful in securing the new college. Tlie entire state ranks high for the intelligence of its people and the small per cenu of those who cannot read and write and every school and college which is established within its borders lias a tendency to raise the general stand ard of knowledge a little higher. Tlie Sioux Citv & Ogden railroad com pany lias purchased the pontoon bridge and franchise at Sioux city and are liard at work getting tlie structure ready for temporary use to crss building material and rolling stock for their line across northern Nebraska. It is quite probable that Sioux county will have quite a number of miles of this line within the next year. It is surveyed across tlie southern part of the county and will greatly assist in the settlement of that section of country. The returns from six counties of the 14th senatorial district, Keya Paha and Hock being unheard from, give a total of 4,415 republican and 3,464 democratic votes on state ticket, beiug a majority of 1,951 republican. In the same coun ties Hon. A. Bartow received the great majority of 2,893 for state senator. In the 53rd reDresentative district the re publican majority on state ticket is 694 but Hon. W. G. Simonson receives majority of 1,253 for representative. Dawt County Journal. As another indication that a good many new sett.ers win arrive in oioux county m tlie near luture we would state that the F. E. & M. V. is arranging to do some good advertising fcr this lo- ahtv. In order to do this J. R. Bu- uinan, general ticket agent, accompa nied by Frd Nye lias made a trip over the system gathering data to make the proer showing. They passed up this line last week as far as Lusk, C. F. Slingerland accompanying them from this lxi int as far as they went west to give theni any information he could rel ative to the country. If tlie railroad company takes a liand in helping to bring people here and each of the settlers do all they can to get their friends to come here to live, there is no reason whv Sioux county cannot double its population within a very short time. A company has been formed in Chica go for the purpose of piping natural gas from Indiana to the city on the lake. The piping of natural gas and oil for s long distance is becoming quite frequent and the nrosnects are that it will not be a great while until oil will be piped from the oil fields just west of this point to Omaha and used there in great quanti- ties. The difference in the altitude of the oil region and that of the eastern part of the state is, such 'that the oil would quite likely flow with little or no pumping. . Nebraska has scored one more point by carrying off the prize at the Amefi , can i. airy Show at Chicago a few days ago. Those interested in the dairy busi new of Nebraska are entitled to a great deal of credit for the capture of the prin. : They went to work quietly and got the exhibit ready and at the proper " time put it in position at the exposition and but little was known of the move ment in tbis state, but its excellence was appreciated by the members of the asso ciate c and those who visited the show. Nebraska generally frets there when an attempt is made. evening they would have to remain in Cbadron two nights ad one day, where as, under the new order of things, the settler can leave lie re in Ue afternoon, make bis entry at the office in Chadion the same evening and return borne tlie next morning. The land agents also speak highly of the manner in which ttie business of the office is being ootid u ted and it is being demonstrated how well au office can be conducted under a republi can administration. A man at Kearney was recently de tected in an attempt to secure a peoin, although he hud never been in tlie army. He was over seventy years of age and owing to that the inspector made a re port without recommendation, and it is not likely that the old fraud will be pros ecuted. It requires a vigilant watch to be kept by tlie pension department to prevent all kinds of fraudulent claims being put upon them, and still tliere are thousands of dollars jiid every year to parties who never eaw a mcment's actu al service in the war, nor were in any way di4ibltd in tlie service of tlie nation. It is singular what men will do to secure a few dollars pension. Jt has been found n some cases that a pensioner lias died and some of his acquaintances have con- imied to draw his pension by making out forged reports. Again men will claim a ension when they never did a thing to earn it and have no record to back up their claim, but they seem to take the view that if there is so much money in the treasury and the govern ment feels so lilieru) toward tlie soldiers that they might as well get in the swim and try and capture a few dollars as for some one else. to get it Tliere is no de partment in the government which de mands closer guarding t lian tliat of pen sions, for people will abuse the opportu nities given tliem.

DbniMioir 1.1 Mum I 4IMF1WV I bj uumE iiuli im-ir attornt i E. T. Horn, superintendent of the east ern division of the F. E. & M. V. rail road has resigned to take a similar posi. tion on the Canadian Pacific under Mr, Fitch, who left the Elkhorn about a vear ago. The resignation was a sur prise to Mr. Horn's many friends for he was thought to be almost a fixture with the Elkhorn, having worked his way up from brakeman to the superintendency, and is one of the most popular railroad men in the state, both among his men and the patrons of the road. It is thought tliat H. C. Malianna, who has been superintendent of the western divis- ion since Mr. Hughes was made general superintendent, will succeed Mr. Horn. This is to be regretted by tlie people along the western lines for they have found Mr. Malianna a pleasant man to meet in his business capacity and those who have known him best unite in the verdict that he is a good all around man. He will move to Fremont, in all proba bility, and that city will be the gainer of an excellent citizen. Who will be in charge of the western division is not yet known. The frequent reports of young girls being enticed away from borne by men and women for immoral purposes at various places in this state are becoming alarming, but the people appear to be slow to arouse to the necessity of strong action in the matter. The penalty lor such vile work is not severe enough and punishment not certain enough to have ' the desired effect If it was almost cer tain that a procurer or procuress would be severely punished it would go far to ward putting a stop to such operations od would throw an additional safe guard around the girls of tbe (and. Sioux county has the F. E. & M. V. Ad the B. & M. railroad lines within her borders and tbe prospects are that ill Sioux City & Ogden will build across I the county in the near future. With all these lines of railroad and not a dollar of bonds for any of them our county will be vastly better off than the older set tled counties of the state where they had to vote t. big amount of bonds to get a .railroad sod are now struggling hard with tngb taxes to pay off the debt. With proper management of the offices of JJm .county tbe per cent of taxation in ftioul county ought to be as low as that Af any county in the state, and low tax m make the people prosperous. The time of year has come when the offices of the country newspapers are flooded with offers from all tlie eastern papers and magazines to the effect that if the said country papers will insert a prospectus and an editorial and a month ly notice and make a cut rate to club with tlie various eastern publications they will send a complimentary copy for the ensuing year. Complimentary in deed! Sucn compliments are a good deal like the political candidate going around among the houses of the voters and kissing the babies. It is not because they love the babies, but because they hope to gain by it, and the same is true of the offers from the publishers men tioned. They want about ten dollars worth of advertising for a two dollar publication and then they will send complimentary copy. If the publishers of weekly papers throughout the coun try would write and decline all such of' fers it would be a good thing. If an eastern publication comes to the desk of the country editor and he finds therein something of use to him he is perfectly willing to use it and give the paper cred it, but he does not care to pay about four prices for what he gets. Two years ago a young man calling himseif E. Gleiicross Grant appeared at San Francisco aud soon became promi nent in the work of the Young Men's Christian association. He became ac quainted with Charles Montgomery, the well known philanthropist, and soon gained bis confidence, and after a time Montgomery took him into partnership in an agricultural implement business. Grant recently disappeared and on inves tigation it was found that he had con tracted debts and appropriated money to the amount of tSO.OOO, and this has forced Montgomery to make an assign ment for the benefit of creditors. Of all the contemptible scoundrels outside of prison walls the very worst are those who bring reproach upon the churches by using their pretended religion as a cloak for their cussedness, and if there is a corner in the place provided for evil doers after they leave this world where the mercury will rise to a higher alti tude than it does in any other part of the place, that corner ought to be reserved for those who have been guilty of such avts as mentioned above. A hypocrite is to be despised above all men. - tie is not even entitled to as much respect as a rattle-snake, for the latter will give the signal of danger before he strikes, but the pious fraud lies in wait like an adder and springs upon his prey when least expected, and as a rule the victims of the unprincipled wretches are those to whom they would be in honor bound to respect and protect. homes for thousands of happy families and congress ought to take early and de- isive action in the matter and if a prac tical plan can lie found to reclaim the vast tracts of land now considered worthless, so that the brood acres can be "made to pay tribute to the farmers who till them, and the whole nation be the gainer thereby. The press of tbe state is raising a great cry about the inactivity of the Ne braska development association which wm organized iritb a great flourish of truwMtftsfsir maths ago. It was tbocght at the time that great benefits would be derived from the orgaoi ration bt so far nothing seems te have been accomplished. It is evident that a good Kgaaijfttioa of that kind would be hens ficki to tto tlM, bujt a sjiavnadie ffort itM atvjr malted in hrulging Usfac- torYNturmiajwy Una. , U is to be bop the tin sa of J" -trt- Mi mouros at Jfabmka BGXH b6i Ever since the change in the officials of the ChadroQ land office the people have watched the action of the new men with a good deal of interest It was ru mored that under the former administra tion tliere were some people and some land agents who appeared to have a bet ter knowledge of the business before the land office than an outsider was entitled to, but under the new order of things it is acknowledged by all that each man has an equal show before the officials. There are no land agents who "stand in" but if a case goes before Messrs Powers and Mc Jaca justice is done to all inter tad in the matter. . The last move made by them, of arranging to have the office open a while each evening for tlie acoomnaodntion of settlers desiring to make homestead enteries, a transaction which can only be done by the settler in nerson. has called forth many warm words from the settlers of Sioux county for tbe evening business is more to ao codUMdUwNtttMt of tbi part of the district, perhaps, than any other, for tb trains run at such tunes that wars The entire delegation from Nebraska are now in Washington, Congressman Dorsey and Laws having arrived there last week. The fight on tlie speakership promises to be a lively one and it is said the members from Nebraska will vote solidly for Colonel Henderson, of Iowa, at least on the nrst ballot. Keed is re ported as having the field against him and it happens that that position is suc cessful about as often as the reverse so there is but little satisfaction to be de rived from the outlook for any of the candidates. The members from Nebras ka are all understood as intending to vote (or John M. Carlson for clerk of the house?. It is a good sign to see the del gallop all working together and it is to be hoped that they will continue to do so during the entire session, for in that way they can accomplish much more for the benefit of the state than if they were divided on matters of lesser impor tance, Tbe question of irrigation in tlie west is an important one and it is stated that a good deal of opposition has been developed to tbe plan in the east, for they see that the rapid developmeut of the great west is attracting, not onjy great numbers of the most enterprising and brainy people but is drawing untold sum of money from ttie banks and fac tories for investment in the west. It is also opposed by a good many members from the south, or at least many of the sonthern papers are opposed to the meas ure, and it is safe to presume that the southern press voices to quite an extent the southern sentiment This opposition is purely for political purposes. It is well established fact tliat democracy does not thrive in tbe north-west, the cli mate does not appear to agree with that kind of political faith, as a rule, and all the great north-west was brought in to subjugation and cultivated and come thickly settled it would reduce the democratic power in the nation. That looks like a rather narrow-minded view for the south to take of tbe matter, A good tyU' of irrigation, such as hat -O- :MT5fT STOCK OF DRUGS and MEDICINES - Is also full and complete. C. II.

It is evident that Tanner wmt n4 as good a man for tlie place as was gen erally supposed, und that he let his idea of doing full justice to the soldiers hide all his sense of dutv to the welfare or laws of tlie department, and in addition permitted those in the oflice to derive the benefits of his zeal at the earliest possible moment. It is right and proper that the disabled veterans get all tliat can be given them but it should lie done in a manner tliat will not interfere with the laws.
