Congress convened on last Monday.
10m presidents message is a clear, strong
document and covers the ground of need
ad legislation. The sugar beet industry,
'Irrigation and other matters of great im
port to the west are brought to the at
tention of the legislative body, and
I action is urged by the members.
i people of Beatrice think it would
be a good plan for the governor to call a
special session of the legislature for the
purpose of providing relief for the set
Urn in the western part of the state. It
la bat a few days until the regular ses
sion will convene and it would cost more
to bold a special session than it would re
quire to relieve all those in destitute circumstances.
' The officials of Cuming county have
been ovehauling the books of their pre
decessors and And that ex-county clerks
had treasurers are ahead of the county
to the amount of between four and
fire thousand dollars, and steps are to be
taken to recover the various amounts
from those who have possessed them
selves of the same.
It hi reported that the greatest need,
existing among the settlers in tlie south
west portion of the state is fuel. That
ia one thing the people of Sioux county
n more fortunate in "than those of other
localities in the new portions of the state.
Our settler only have to go to tlie tim
ber and haul the wood borne for fuel and
posts for fencing aod logs for building
are to be had simply for the labor of getr
ting them. The most that Sioux county
aaeds is seed m the spring.
The farts of so many contests coming
up for various offices causes the question
of who will fit! the office being contested
for until the decision is reached. Tlie
ones who are elected on tlie face of re
turns will take their seats and perform
the duties of the office until tlie contest
Is settled. Then should the contestant
be successful, the coo teste would be
ouated from the ofllje which he has been

Whertus, It is public information that
at this time quite a large body of United

Standing Rock Indian agencies on tlie
Sioux reservation by tlie government for
tlie purpose of preventing or suppressing
an Indian outbreak, ami

Nebraska, living near the border of 1he
Great Sioux Reservation know whereof 1

85 Miles of Railroad.
Sioux county has the main line of the F. E. & 31. V. railroad crossing it from
east to west and connecting with the Cheyenne & Northern, thus making a line
through from Omaha to Denver and the Pacilic coast., and also connects this local
ity with the coal fields just across t line in Wyoming. This road lias 82 miles
of track in Sioux county. , ,1
The B. V M. crosses tbe northeast part of the county and has 1", miles of its
line within tbe borders of Sioux county. This road brings down the coal from the
newly opened mines at Newcastle, aod tbe road is bcimr pushed on to Helena,
Montana.
. Tbe Pax(lc Short line lias a line surveyed across the southern part of tlie
county, and the management inform us that before tlie close of another ueoson it
will have its line in operation beyond Um west line of Nebraska. The survey of
the Pacific Hhort Line snows that the road will have over 88 miles of track in
Skrax county.
The B. eV M. has a survey runniof wast from Alliance, crossing- the south part
of Sioux county and it ia expected that it UI be built, but a the amount of the
line which would be io Sioux county is not known, it not figured in the above
statement. .;
