A few days ago George Bo wen was
oh his way to his pasture early in the
morning, when he saw what he thought
were his neighbor's pigs running towards
his coraBetd. He called his dog and
started to drive-them ofT, but soon foun j
they were not pigs but coons, and thnre
were fifteen or twenty of them in ths
bunch. That is a pretty good coon story
but J. M. Daniels is our authority for it
The boys of that neighborhood are plan

John Oibson who was arrested a few
days ago and taken to Cherry county on
charge of horse-stealing was taken to the

The 'Mult of the examination by the
commissioners of insanity, of Charles
Dixon, the would-be suicide, resulted in
his being adjudged insane and the report
of the physician with an application for
admission was sent to the authorities of
the insane hospital at Norfolk. On Mon
day the necessary ''papers were received
and that'ivening Sheriff Reidy left with
Dixon for Norfolk. It Is hoped that un
der proper medical treatment the young
man's mind will be fully restored in a
short time, so ' that he will be able to
again take his place among men. '

estimated will yield thirty bushels or
over per acre, and hit. outs and flax arc
fine. In addition t Uiese he has on ex

would be highly Fl(in, but even us it
is it is no worse than it is in much of
the older settled portions of this, as well ,
as other states, besides die land in tlie
east has cost the ownr a good deal of

and labor expended.

On last Saturday a slieaf of (
was brought to our office from Uk
of A. R. Kennedy and it is good ef
to encouraire anvone. There is no I
tion but what the soil of Sioux- f
.cf ..... .-.,- corn ra
tion and attention. The fact of its being
too dry this season in some parts of the
county is no argument against the conn
ty. That has been the case in a large por
tion of the state, as of Kansas. Missouri,
Iowa and the Lakotas. Sioux county
has as good a prospect for the future as
any of the newly settled sections of
country, and far better than a number
of the new counties of this state
At the republican congressional con
vention of the second district at Hast
ing on July 30ih, Hon. N. V. Harlan, of
York, was nominated on the first ballot
to succeed Congressman Laws. In this
it is again demonstrated that the anti
mouopoly element of tlie piety is on
top. Mr. Harlan has long been known
as being strongly in favor of justice to
the people and his home county is one of
the strongest anti-monopoly republican
counties in the state. In the house of
representatives of which Mr. Harlan
was speaker four years ago, he made a
record as a man of integrity and brains.
He will be elected, without doubt, and
the second district will have an able rep
resentative in congress.
The Lincoln Call, tiw most radical
anti-manopoly republican paper in the
state, expresses itself as being entirely
satisfied with the platform adopted at
the republican state convention and as
serts that if tlie candidates who ac
cepted a nomination at the hands
of the convention after the plaU
form was adopted, live up to tlie pledges
thus made, it is all that could be asked.
Tlie anti-monopoly element in the state
convention held the winning hand and
they will see to it that the men elected
by them do keep their pledges. If tlie
platform is acceptable to tht- CM, it is
safe to predict tliat it will prove accep
table to the auti-monoply republicans all
over the state.

Tlie republican nominees for the of
fices of county commissioner and couo
ty attorney are before the peoile and it
is right that the voters should know
something of the men for whom they are
asked to cast their ballots. The follow
ing is a sliort sketch of the men nomin
ated by tlie republican county conven
tion on July 19, 1800:
EU J. WJIOOX
the republican candidate for county
commissioner for the first district was
born iu Medina county, Ohio, in 1894.
In 1865 he settled in Iowa and engaged
in farming. In 1800 he crossed the
plaint to Pike's Peak in search of gold,
and continued that search until July,
1801, when be enlisted in Company B,
1st Colorado Infantry, and was engaged
in the campaign against the Texas
rangers in the wilds of New Mexico, and
in guarding , the United States mails
from depredations by the Indiana He
served four years and four months in
tlie army. In 1886 Mr. Wilcox came to
Sioux county and engaged in farming
and stock raising and still continues in
that business. He is well known to
many of the people of Sioux county and
all know him to be a straightforward,
honest and honorable man. His election
to the oltlce or county commissioner
would insure to the taxpayers of Sioux
county an honest and economical ad
ministration of the public affairs and
the voters of the county will be looking
-to their interests bv electing him by a
good majority.
II. T. CONLEY
the republican candidate for county at
torney, was born in Washington county,
New York, July 4, 1800. In 1865 he re
moved with his parents to Illinois, where
he remained until the fall of 187$, when
he removed to Seward county, Neb.
He spent some years on the farm and
as a clerk, while attending the high
school at Seward, after which he at
tended the state university at Lincoln,
teaching school a portion of the time to
obtain money to complete his education.
At the close of a three years' course at
the university, be read law with Noival
Brothers, of Seward, and Brown 4 Ryan
Brothers, of Lincoln. He was admitted
IS tne oar in 18S. before Judge T. tw
the atipreaa' court, after which be lev
cated at Ansley, Custer county, where
he practiced law for two years. In the
1 'r
fall of 1888 he came to Sioux county
and engaged in the practice of his pro
fession and has ever been outspoken for
right and justice to the people. The
writer has been personally acquainted
with Mr. Conley since boyhood and has
ever found him to be a young man of
excellent principles and high integrity.
He is a close student of the law and is
eminently fitted for tlie position for
which he has been nominated. The peo
ple of Sioux county will find him, as
they have found him in the past, true to
every trust reposed in hini.und if elected
he will give his best efforts to the du
ties of his oftice.
More About Him.
Below we republish additional com
ments on II. T. Conley, the republican
nominee for county attorney, made by
those who -know him:
"Hugh T. Conley, a former Seward
boy, has been nominated for eounty at
torney by the republicans of Sioux coun
ty, and the Blade, together with his
many friends in Seward county will be
glad of his election. Mr. Conley is an
energetic, and wide-awake young man,
who educated himself entirely by his
own exertions, and is a man of the strict
est integrity, being thoroughly honora
ble in all his dealings, public as well as
private. If the people of 8ioux county
want an attorney who will attend
strictly and honorably to their business,
they will elect Hugh Conley." Seward
Blade.
"We understand that Mis Hugh Con
ley, formerly of this place, but now of
Harrison, Neb., has been nominated by
the republicans of Sioux county for the
office of county attorney. Hugh's
many friends in Ansley will be glad to
bear of this honor conferred upon him,
which is no mors than his -ability as an
attorney, and'his popularity as a citisen
justly merits. The republicans of Sioux
county are to be congratulated upon
their wise selec tion, and the Chrcmidt
takes pleasure In endorsing Hugh 'for
the office." Attdey ChmnieU.
