Williams expects to be in the vicinity of Bndnrc some time next week with his well drill, and parties desiring to have wells put down should see him there. The passenger train from the east yesterday did not arrive until 1 o'clock p. m., being between four and five hours late. The cause of the delay was not learned. O. W. Hester received his wind mill last week and now has the mill up and working. When a farmer has a good well and windmill he has little bother about a water supply. Ki. W. Oreger received on Saturday m bo of home manufactured tobacco t ... i i w nvo9uuiuul"Vaerefrom thwuttf, the stem of his pipe. A number of covered wagons passed . through Harrison last Sunday enroute for tha state of Washington. It is not often that people make a trip like that by team in these days of railroads. B. B. Smith has recently got up a map of Box Butte county similar to those of Sioux and Dawes county only on a smaller scale. He has orders for quite a large number of the copies to be furnished to business men of that county. E. M. Carrier has proved up on his claim and has moved hit family to town, occupying the residence owned by Judge Barker. This is convenient to his black smith shop, so that Bert will be better able to take care of the work in his line which comes to him. Mrs. A. C, Stone, the fashionable milliner of Crawford, will arrive in Har-j rison on Saturday, June 7th, and remain one week. She will have a line display of all goods in the millinery line and in vites all to call at W. R. Smith's store and inspect her stock. It will be but a few days until the Cheyenne & Northern will have the line completed, connecting with the Elkhorn, . and then through trains to Iwnver will pas over this line. It is quite likely (hat when that is arranged a daily pas senger train will be run, which will be a convenience to this locality for then we will have a Sunday mail. It should be borne in mind that the annual school district meetings in the various districts will occurr on Monday, June 30tb. The law also requires that the levy made at such school meetings ' be reported , to the county clerk on ' -. or before the first Monday in July, which will be the 7th day of that month. School matters are of great importance and should have the attention of all The Chedron Journal says that nego tiations are pending between the Pacific Short Line and the Eikbora companies for the purchase of the Wyoming branch of the latter by the former company. That it the line which paste through Harrison, and should the deal be made it , it quite likely that the road will be ex tended into Wyoming quite a distance beyond It present terminus thi season. Complaint an being made that tome settlers ur taking the water out of streams in private ditcbta, greatly to the inconvenience of those who live be low Umui. Under the law there art no streams in Sioux county which are large enough to permit of a part of toe water thereof to be turned from the natural channel, an doing to would interfere with the right of others. It it to be ; hoped that the right of all will be cared for In this matter. For farm loans go to 8. H. Jones. For mixed paint, oils and varnishes go to the drug store. The increase in our list of subscrib ers made it necessary for us to tdd an other quire to the regular edition of TlUt JOURNAL. E. A. Weir has his well nearly com plex! and the tower for his windmill is being built ready to put up as soon the well is finislied. By taking advantage of oiir new clubbing offer you can get a large amount of good reading for a small amount of cash. O. W. Hester has his windmill up and will soon have it drawing water. A little delay was caused by some of the pump fittings not arriving. The board of county commissioners Will meet on next Tuesday ax a board of equalization and all who are not satis fied with the way their property was assessed will have an opportunity to appear before the board and have it ad justed. The increasing law practice of H. T. Con ley has mailt! it desirable that he have an office bV himself. To this end he has secured the building formerly oc cupied as a barber shop, two doors north of The Journal office, where he is better prepared than ever to look after the in terests of his clients. Reidy it Pollard still remain at the old stand. The time for the completion of the line connecting the Cheyenne & North ern and the F. E. & M. V. will soon be here and then this place will have direct connection with Lienver and through train service will then lie put on this line. That will greatly increase the importance of this line and will proba bly necessitate the putting on of addi tional train service. The water supply ran out again the first of tlie week and the only way new supply was pumped was by a subscrip tion being taken up to purchase fuel and some of the boys doing the work for nothing. If the board of trustees are going run the affairs of the town it is to be hoped that they will soon get at it. For nearly six months all the fuel has been furnished by donations and it is about time some other way was devised. - On last Sunday Judge Barker went out into the country with a ..horse, and the Judge thought it would be a good j plan to let the horse grace a little and removing the bits from his mouth be The rain of yesterday was quits) a cold one, but the farmers are glad to have it come. The prairies and canyons of tint lo cality now present a very beautiful appearance, the green, waving grata be ing thickly dotted with a great variety of wild flowers. Nature has been much more lavish with her floral gifts in jthisl locality than in the eastern and south ern portions of the state. J On last Monday Katie, the ten-yar-old daughter of Cteua Christens of Montrose, fell from the roof of j the chicken bouse at her father's farm, and broke her right arm, just above thf el bow. She was brought to Harrison that evening and on Tuesday Vr. Shaferi let the bone and at last reports the paifent was doing well. , The showers that have visited 'tlie various portions of the county deling the past week have kept the crops flow ing nicely and the prospect for a crop are as bright as they were. just about an assured fact that county will have a good crop kinds. Mow all that is needed is a flourine mill and elevator at Harrii take care of the grain after it is threttied There is an excellent opportunity! for the right man. . No statement of the disposition 0$ the public funds of the village lias yet keen published. It begins to look as if. the matter was in such shape that they jUre not make a showing, and that that jwas the reason the gang really had for gping back on their agreement on candaWtes for members of the board of truttees. The sooner the alfairs of the village are run according to law the sooner rasters will he straightened out. J Commissioner Green was in Liirri son yesterday and reports that thai sur veyors of the Oregon Short Line A at work in the south part of tlie of nty, ami ho fools pnnftilenl. Ihut ihn linr twill be built in the near future. Sboul jtis ...... ... a... . .......1.1 '.t't. about forty miles more of r VJLd which would increase the wealth $ the county and materially aid in the. Otle- ment of that portion of tlie county The assessors of trie vartBtr e pre cincts have completed their wot" jmd returned their books to the. 'frty clerk.' They report that owing -Cr the . . . T . assessors meeting, tne book will not held him by the bridle around his neck. The animal decided to return home and jerked away from the Judge and after getting in town the sulky collided with a post, releasing the horse and racking the vehicle to quite an extent. Judge Barker bad tiie pleasure of returning home on foot. A few days ago C. H. Andrews, the druggist, confessed judgment before J W. Hunter for some bills held against him by eastern wholesale houses, and, of course, that was a signal for all his creditors to jump in and secure their claims. Judgments were recovered by various creditors amounting about 11,800. The stock is estimated at about $2,500, so that with proper care the creditors will all be protected, and it is to be hoped that Mr. Andrews will be able to satisfy his creditors and resume business in a few days. If the stock has to be sold under execution the sacrifice necessary and attendant expenses would have to be borne by Mr. Andrews, while if a settlement is made and tne business continued, no sucritlce need be made. A few days ago a herd of cattle be longing to u. W. Woody and E. C. Lock wood got on the farm of Hans Uenker and destroyed his crop. Mr. uenkers got tome of hit neighbors to help him and gathered the cattle in. Mr. Lockwood came to the place and Mr. uenker pro posed to appoint arbitrators and settle the matter, but the owner of the cattle declined to do Una. The cattle were re turned to Mr. Woody's place later and Mr. Uenker has commenced suit against Messrs Woody and Lockwood for dama ge. It would have been better had the matter been settled by arbitration, at w ere informed that the plaintiff ha plenty of witoesM and can prove all hit allegations. There are a lew people in lh coucty who still try to believe . that herd law is not in lorce in Sioux county but they cannot Und any law permitting cattle to range any where in the state, and it does not took reasonable tor the in to expect any tiuug but deleat. Xbe idea ' that the suspension ot tile lierd law at a time prior to the last session ot the leg islature (at vbich seseiou tlie authority for such suspension was repealed) still admit of tree range, w too rediculous to be entertained by any one. it would be just a good logic lor tne various towns aud cities of tlie slate to vote lice new now with the idea that if Uie amend I ineut carried at the coming election sa loons could still be run witlun such show much, if any, increase in the aggre gate over last year. Another thing which will tend to lower the total is the fact that improvement on claims on which final proof has not been made were not listed at all by the assessors. Last week Joseph iTodgers, of Sol dier creek, had a soldier by the name of Fletcher arrested for procuring marriage license for Charles Young and Nancy J. Rodgers, the latter being the daughter of the complaining witness and was but fourteen years or age. rletcher was arrested by Constable Columbia and on Saturday was taken before J. W. Hunt er at Bouarc. On their arrival there the complaint was withdrawn by the father of the girl, and the prisoner was released. L O. Hull prosecuted the case and E. D. Satterlee defended. The costs were paid by the parties interested. It looks a little singular that after tlie parties had been put to the trouble and expense of carrying the case as far as as they did, that it should be dismissed without a hearing. The man had either committed a wrong or he tiad not, and the matter should been inquired into and a record made according to the facts in the case. As it is now it looks like a judicial farce. Both the B. A M. and the F. E. & M. V. railroads are offering to sell home- seekers excursion tickets to parties in the east at reduced rates, in order to per mit them to come to Nebraska and look up a place to establish a home. Now is the time for our people to induce their friends in the east to take advantage of the reduced rates and come to Sioux county and see for themselves what a desirable place it is to live in. The crops are all in excellent condition, the farmers are busy breaking more kind and improving their farms and all , tend to encourage immigration. There is no question but that thousands of farmers who are paying high rent in the east year after year, for the high priced lands which was a few years ago secured by the owners for a mere trifle, can come to Sioux county and secure a piece of gov ernment lund and improve it, and tliere by greatly improve their condition finan cially, if each settler will take this matter in hand he can certainly induce one other to come here, and thus the population of Sioux county will be doubled and trie properly of every one increased in value. There is nothing which increases the value of real estate except the density of population, so that it is to the interest of all to get a uiuny I people liere as posmble. if you will PEB&0XAL. J. C. Meng, of Montrose, called on Thursday and gave us some cash on sub scription. M. J. O'Connell, of Five Point pre cinct, was in Harrison on Thursday and called at this office. Robt. Neece was iu Harrison on Sat urday making his returns as assessor. Ex-Commissioner J. B. Burke was in Harrison on Saturday. S. S. Scott and O. P. Kemp left for home Monday. They were highly pleased with Sioux county and will rec ommend it to those who are looking for new homes in the west. Mrs. R. T. Simmons, daughter of W. R. Smith, left Monday evening for her home in Kansas. Her sister, Miss Ada Smith, accompanied her. J. B. Bradley and J. H. Montgomery were in Harrison on Monday. Chas Schilt was in Harrison on Satur day and called at our office. Nels Engbret, having got his crop in lias gone to the Block Hills where he will remain until harvest. Mrs. Geo. Olinger left Tuesday for Hot Springs, Dakota, where Mr. Olinger has been for some time, They will re main there for a few weeks. Col. Wilgocki, special agent of the census, arrived here on Tuesday and will remain about two weeks. Mrs. J. H. Cook, accompanied by her mother, arrived from Ft. McKinney on last Saturday, having recovered from her long and severe illness. P. J. Northness was in Harrison yes terday and called this office. Sam Crane, of the Crawford Timet, went west on the Elkhorn. passenger on Tuesday. John Mosley was at tlie county seat the first of the week and called at this office. Fred 8mith left yesterday for the Black Hills, going over land by team. C. L Tubbs came down from Custer City the first of the week, to see how his family were getting along. He reports work plenty at that place. A brother of R. Wilson arrived from tlie east yesterday. (3TCf utfirle arrived" home from Crete on Tuesday) accompanied by his father and mother, who will visit here a few days before returning to their home at Washington, D. C. C. R. Wells lias been on the sick list for a few days. Miss Alice Slattery spent last Sunday with friends at Ft. Robinson. Miss Anna Price went to White River last Saturday to visit her sister who is teaching there. The board of village trustees met on Tuesday evening and adjourned until Wednesday evening without doisg any business. It is to lie hoped tha t they will get matters in running shape before long. At the unveiling of a monumont erected in honor of the confederate gen eral Robert E. Lee, at Richmond, a few days ago, a confederate flag was placed in the hand of the Washington monu ment. It may be all right to erect mon uments to rebel generals, but to place an emblem of disloyalty in the hand of the great father of our country is an in sult to every loyal citizen of the United States.
