A union Sunday achool waa organ iaed but Sunday. The following officer were elected: He v. Rorick, supt: Mis Minna Smith, assistant aupt ; G. E. Lunaford, treas.; Miss Ellen gatterlee, secretary. It ii reported that the F. E. aY M. V. wUl extend iu line waat from Caliper du ing tha coming season. The vast oil and mining districts a abort distance beyond the present terminua of tlie line will, in all probability, be rapidly developed within the nest year and that will prove a grant benefit to this locality.

It presents a story of peril and daring, of thrilling and un selfish devotion to duty, that deserve the highest praise and admiration. In the last year, 8000 lives were saved and property valued at nearly $1,500,000 wax rescued from destruction, at a cost of leas than $1,000,000. 'There is probably no other investment by the Government which yields so large a percentage of Numerous Inquiries have been made as to the bast method of cultivating the sail of Bioux county. The reports, in every instance, ore that deep plowing al ways brings the best results. In soma portions of Nebraska it was necessary to Mm wiui anauow plowing and iro a I sowuev V yoo wiah to get the best re ward for your labor, set the plow deep and work it thoroughly. To half way put in a crop and half way care for it, will never make a farmer rich. The same rule applies to farming that applies to all other bust newt, and that is, that in ellegent and thorough attention is de njanded to insure success. The settlers of this locality need have no fear of the Indians. J. H. Cook spent some days at Pine Riege last week. He is well know among the I ml sans who have a great deal of confidence in bim. He visited the ghost camp and states that the dance is harmless, and that the : Indians do not wapt to tight, and even if they did there ore plenty of troops there to keep Uiera under subject ion, and should any outbreak occur, the aatilers would be notified in plenty of time to get to a place of safety. The most trouble seems to have grown out pf reports carried over the country by persons who desired to scare the people for fun. On Indian reek the word wan passed that Sheriff Rk'dv bad sent word for the SHttlers to gather at the borne of David Anderson. No such word was sent out by the sheriff and that is a sample of the "scare" reports circulated. It is hoped no one will indulge in giving out any more groundless reports, for it orlu a hardship on the people and they hare enough to contend with now. " The session of the county board on hurt Saturday was a busy one. The con tract was let for a bridge in White River net to T. M. Ti torn ton. This bridge has hoea nikvd by the people in this lo cality for a long time., Thomas Deven port Um made numerous trips to Harris on to atHxair before the county board and urge the matter and now that it is to be built he ocd his neighbors will doubtless be highly pleased. The contractor, in such cases is require? 10 give dodos in doable the amount of the contract and Mr. Thornton will be here on next Hatur day to present his bond and the work will be commenced at once. Some road petitions were granted and others laid over until next meeting, A demand was made that warrants be issued on some of the old allowed claims of 1880 and the demand refused, A bill (or sal arv of L. O. Hull as county attorney wm presented by E. D. Batter- lee, to whom the claim has been assigned for the first three quarters of the year, to the amount of $8T5. . It was stated by a member of the board that a nil for attorney had been allowed and warrant Georse Walker baina- present stated that u Mil was put in "ior ser vices to Sioux county as attorney" and therefore salary of county atty had not been allowed. The board decided to lay the matter on the table until next meet ing.

I told the people before election not to vote for Conley (not be cause I was interested at all, but simply as a matter of news) and what do ypu think?

But then I am not in terested. I am furnishing the people with asws. I am consistent, I am. There is that chump, H. G. Stewart, lie has the audacity to contest the elec tion of Senator-elect Wallace Wilson, on the grounds that Wilson has committed A horrible octbaob on him by placing his (Wilson's) name on democratic tick ets with a rubber stamp, which was a veritable imitation of writing and will undoubtedly be construed as written, hence the ballots were legal. But if Coniey's name had been stamped or even written op those tickets they would hav.3 been illegal. I am telling this to you , not because I am interested In the county attorney matter, but simply as news. I am pretty smooth, too. Perhaps you noticed that I worded the contest article about Wilson a little different from the contest article about Conley, in order to sustain my reputation for con sistency. You see the people who read my alleged political hood bill are "lunk heads" and will never catch onto the in consistency of thjB two articles. lam Consistency Slingerland, I am, just as a matter of news.
