ii will lie even more profitable than
spring wheat. Rye is said, to do. Uoely
and it is one of the best crops a farmer
can raise, for he can iasturo it all winter

The cjuestion in the minds of tli
people of Sioux county is: "What prizi
will the exhibit at the state fair win?'
The building! on E. A. Weir's farm

'K-ation near his windmill.

It is reporled that the contract is le
'or crrnding the Pa'i(ic Short Line west
rO"'eil farenouirh so that it will cios
ioux county. As soon ns the work if
onimericed it will lie safe to predict that
t will le pushed on fa Oifden as rapidly
is possible.
There are some people who Ixlieve
'he exhibit at the ftate fair will lie a
';nod thing and demonstrited the fact by
taking hold in eai-neal and assistihg to
make it a success. Wo hojje to hear of
good results frohi Lincoln next week.
J. W. Sherrill, on Monday, brought
ns a melon of tlie ice-cream variety. H
was a find specimen, weighing 1H pound-1
t g'res to help make up tlie. exhibit at
Hie state fair. It was grown on Jim
reek, and does not look ns if that, lornl
ty was very badly drouth-stricken.
-THRjornSALw issued a little late
' his week the delay ling caused by tin
vork of gett'npr the state fair exhibh
-eady. A few thomand circulars wen-nrintc-d
at this ollice to help call alteii
tion of the visitors at th-1 fair to the ad
vantages offered to act tiers iu Sioux

There is one thing the people of
Sioux county are a great d.ai belter of!
n regard to than almost any other part
if the state and that is fuel. All the
svood costs a farmer is tbo. lalsir of get
ting it, and that is (jiiile an item. T.'
ihis may lie added that posts for feii.:inj.'
uid logs for building can lie had as easily
is wood, so that a man who is industri
ins can improve his farm a great deal,
without sieniling tiny cash, anil t In
most of the settlers lake advantage of
uch opportunities.
Geo. Cobb, of Aaleloiie precinct, had
the misfortune to lose his htable anil
ihedding, a wagon and about sixty , tons
if hay by fire on last Saturday.
V. neighbors horse was tied to the wagon
uid that also ierished in tlie flames. The
Ire ociurred while Mr. Cobb was in
Harrison and originated, it is thought, by
the children playing with matches. The
loss is a severe one to Mr, Cobb as hay is
hard to get in his locality.
0, M. Kem, the independent can
lidate for cocgress," spoke at the court
house on last Wednesday. His audiance
nu mltered about a score. On account of
assisting to get the state fair exhibit
ready for shipment, we were unable to
attend the meeting. It is reported that
his speach was a genuine greenlmck talk
wasoned with free trade. He doubtless
would haye had a better audience had the
date been announced sooner
Tlie pipes are all below frost line,
the pump house is fixed up in good shape
and the pump and the valves in excel
lent condition. Now all that is needed
is a little repairing on the toiler and the
water system will be in shaie to go
through the winter all right. We under
stand that the village board is arranging
to have the needed work done at once.
The large reservoir which was dug last
winter was tilled up a few days ago as
the walls were caving iu and the board
did not think it advisable to complete it.
While the collection was Iieing made
for tlie exhibit at the state fair, tlie
drift of the conversion among the farm
ers was how the best results were to lie
obtained Tlie almost universal opinion
seemed to be that the most important
thing iu securing a good crop in this
county i deep plowing. It is to the in
terests of our farmers that they get goix
strong teants and then put tlie plow
down deep. Do not fear getting too deep.
In all new counties a great deal of ex
perimenting has to be done in order to
get at tlie best way to farm and the
more the fanners exchange views on the
subject the sooner they will get to do
riving the best results.
Railroad iron has commenced to pnss
up this line to 1 used on the Chyenne &
Northern. The intention was to begin
tracklaying on last Monday. There is
Mill a good deal of Wasting to be done
in places along tlie grade, an the rock
they struck was great deal harder than
was anticipated, atl caused a delay in
the completiou of tlie work. It will not
be long now uutil tlie through trains
will lie put on, aad it is quite likely that
additional train survice will be run on this
part of the road. It will also open di
rect connection wilb Leaver and the coast
and will give our merchants an opportu
nity to get goods, from California with
out having to pay freight to Omaha, and
then back to this point. It will also- Iks
convenient to get the products, i tbu
THE EXHIBIT.
Sioux ( dunly NendH a Good Display to
the Mate Fair,
The rfiilt of the work of those inter-
sted in the prosperity of Hioux count v.
ind tlm advantage of making an exhibit
t the state fair was that on last Tues
lay evening two cars loaded with miter
a 1 for the exhibit was started for Lin
wln. On last Saturday, the general commit
tee held a meeting. The situation was
Hscussed and details arranged. A. It.
Kennedy resigned as it was out of the
'I nest ion for him to leave his farm for
the length of time required to attend the
fair and I avid Bart lett was selected to
'take his place. letter Mr. Rartlett was
elected secretary and treasurer of the
ommitteo.
( -orresoiidence was had with the man
agement of the state fair and also with
the managers of tlie F, E. & M. V. rail
road relative to the shipment of the
'louse. The slate fair people were vn -v
lesirous of it being sent down and did all
lU-y could to get the railroad pe-i-nle
to co-Ojerat.n with the people ol
Sioux county in the plan to advertise the
oiinty. but the lst the company wil-l
loastoship tlie logs down at a re
duced rat-j, charging for the car from
il.irnwei to Lincoln. This was quite
le i o!ir;igiiig, but just, at that time Gov.
Furnas, secretary af the slate board of
igri ullure. came to the rescue. IT.
.vrute the committee to send thfl house
mrl Ii would pay the ii3 out of his pri
vate pocket. It is certainly right that
Mr. Furnas should have credit for his
isnistance in the matter. The reason ol
die railroad declining to carry the house
lo Lincoln free is a mystery, as they will
lie lienelit ted more than anyone else in
the county by the showing made. It is
;videiit that they did not understand the
mat ter or they would have gladly assisted
in the matter. But with the help of See.
Furnas, the loghouse went and the. re
sults will tie known in the near future,
The collected! of products was far bet
ter than anyone expected, and when it
was too late it was learned that a great
deal of the exhibit could have been
uaterially strengthened, and wodd Wave
lieen, had some of the people thought
the exhibit was going to lie a success,
hut it is good enough in most lines lo
nake a very creditable showing. The
;orn, wheat, oats, (lax, potatoes, pump
kins, melons, etc., were good. The col
lection of wild grasses was certainly a
feature deserving of notice. The collec
tion arranged by C. E. Holmes compris
ed between fifty and sixty varieties of
wild grasses, and another made by Lori
Smith and W. 8. Hall had about the
same number.
In the collections of grains, vegetables
and grasses, Alex Steele had thirty ar
ticles which were beyond doubt the best
brought in. Among them was a sample
oats of the thin! year's growth from one
sowing of the seed, and also a sample of
oats of the t hird crop of t his season. I lis
potatoes were unusually line and wheat,
oats and Imrley good. In addition to
these were grasses and vines which made
a tine collection.-
Tlieo. DeBork has the finest garden
products including pumpkins, squashes,
onions, tomatoes, cabbages, cucumbers.
melons, etc.
A. R. Kennedy also had an excellent
coutibution, especially when the fact is
considered that he only came to Sioux
county last October.
Lack of space forbids malting parsonal
mention of each contribution but we
cannot pass the matter without noting
the services of John W, Graham, of Cot
tonwood precinct. He was at the com
mittee meeting last Saturday and prom
ised to try and bring up something from
that locality. He attempted to get those
having good articles to get them togeth
er and bring them up and failing in that
he got a good lot together and had it
here by noon on Tuesday and to him
alone is Cottonwood precinct indebted
for being represented at the state fair.
Amotig the special features, is a hand
some sign "Sioux Co." which was
made ly J. F. Schulz, of pine cones on
letters made of wood, and a nice sign
with tlMytanie. words painted by Mrs. H.
T. Con ley. Two handsome pairs of
antlers will decorate the log cabin, 'and
there is corn, grass, grain and vegetables
enough to fill the log house to overflow
ing, in addition to these is the big pine
log of Frank llemasig, three feet in
diameter, some specimens of other vari
eties of wood, as well as samples of
Sioux county brick and stone.
At Lincoln, the exhibit will lie in
charge of l avid Hartlett, Eli Smith, J.
F, Scluilx, Thomas Reidy and A. U
Pratt who left on Wednesday evening
for that city.
It may be tliat some of the older set
tled counties of the state may be able to
maite a nener snowing tlmn this county
yet there is good renoon to believe that
Sioux county may capture a good pre
mium if not the highest. At all events
it will he ot great benefit to the county
and everyone has reason to feel itlad

Hun. (J. W. Simonson, of Alliance,
ivms in Harrison on Wednesday shaking
hand with former acquaintances and
forming new ones. After ls-ing elected
t'i lill the place made vacant by the res
ignation of Hon. L. W. Gilchrist as
member of the legislature, Mr. Simon
sun feels that he would like an opportu
nity to participate in n session of that
body.
The exhibit sent to the state fair
demonstrated that when a determined ef
fort is made to do any thing, the settlers
of Sioux county are able to carry it out.
,t is that kind of people that have set
lied up the country from the shores of
Ihe Atlantic to the western side of the
continent.
The Northwestern hotel has been
closed, O. K. Lunsford has moved into
the place formerly occupied by C. K.
Wells. The title lo the hotel property
is in litigation and will be settled by the
courts. This leaves E. Hohwer, land
lord of the Harrison House, with a mo
nopoly of the hotel business at present.
Just before the time to start for Lin
coln, J. C. Northrop, agent of the F. E.
&-M. V. here, found a circular from
headquarters w hii-h came during his ab
sence, forbidding agents to receive or
ship any of the game animals or birds.
It was a dissaointment, but the aule
lope could not be taken to the state fair. It
is too had as nothing would have attract
ed more attention than antelope at a
gathering of people sucli. as will be at
Lincoln next week.
Word has been received from Judge
Kinkaid that an equity term of court
will lie held here at tlie regular date,
Sept.2od, and that the jury term will be
deferred until some time, in Oecember.
'Ilia I will bring it at a season when the
farmers will not be busy and will also
make it so that the expense incurred
will be paid out of the levy of 1891.
This arrangement will be satisfactory to
all, for it would have teen hard for the
ollicials to meet the expenses of a jury
out of the levy of 1800, and it will also
give an opportunity to try the jury
cases before Jan, 1, 1H91.
