The east bound pasasngar on Satur

came they were to go careful as the re
cent rains bad made tba track a little un
safe along White River. Lots of water
has fallen in Sioux county within the
past ten day.
The reosnt rains in this locality
which assures good crops on the table
land and corn in the valley, and the
drouth which has prevailed in other lo
calities in this and other states has
brought the attention of the people to
the feot that it would be an excellent
opportenity for Sioux county to make a
big strike by baring a county exhibit at
the state fair. The nianagers of that sx
posttioa are locking for a greater display
ad larger aUenrlaaoa this year than ever
before and if the people here take bold of
of the matter an exhibit cm be gotten
ua which would attract a great deal of
attention and wouM be certain to win
the ArstpriM which it pM, which would
pay ftil expenses and would leave enough

The rain of lost Thursday was great
ly appreciated by the people of this local
ity. It was a nice, gentle rain and con
tinued Tor over three hours. There is no
question but what enough rain falls here
for all agricultural purposes during the
year if the weather clerk will only ar
range it so it will fall at the proper time.
Tlie recent rain will do a great deal of
good to the crops. The people of this lo
cality are no worse if they are as bad off
as they are in many localities. Reports
still come in M the severe drouth in

According to the Herald Mr. Hull
does not think his damage case is
out of court. It is only a few weeks un
til district court will convene and then
the result will prove whether the state

saying some things in regard to the high
est Judicial tribunal of the state which
are extremely absurd.
County Commissioner Weir signed

sult of Mr. Weir's action will be. It does
not appear from the way the law reads
the chairman of the county board has
any discretion as to signing warrants
when bills are allowed and warrants are
ordered. But the matter of those bills
did not stop here. On Friday, L. Oi Hull
took an appeal on them and theV will
come before the district court.

Lisk Vs. Harrison,
Yesterday's base-ball game between
the Harrison and Lusk teams was a pe
culiar game in many respects. There
was considerable dissatisfaction quite
forcibly expressed against the decisions
of the Lusk umpire from the very begin
ning of the game and at the close of the
second inning it was agreed that Harri
son should select an umpire to act in
conjunction with the Lusk umpire one
to decide on the balls and the other on
the base moves tlie positions of the um
pires to change as the different sides
