The Atkinson Enterprise has changed from republican to alliance and cites for its reason that 70,000 in the state have changed before it W. O. Chapman is now alone in the conduct of the Leader of Broken Bow, J. Horn having retired at the beginning of the year. Mr. Chapman is thoroughly oompenent to run the pajier and it is safe to predict that the paper will be kept fully up to the times. The legislature convened on last Tues day and the matter first to be settled will be that of governor and .after that the regular grind of the session will be gin. It is not likely tliat the contests will occupy as much time as was ex pected but no information has been re ceived as to who will be governor. It is pretty poor grace for the Bee to call attention to what the republican platloMn committed the candidates to, after the editor of that paper made the platform and then deliberately assisted to defeat the man placed at the head of the ticket. Rosewater wants to compel Others to do as lie says not as he does. Gen. Miles' scheme to liave the Indians transferred to the war depart went did not meet with a great deal of approval. He wanted the agents removed and live army officers apj-oioted. That would not better tlie case at aJL If the present incumbents were removed and five men who knew something of Indian nature appointed some good might result. What the people of the northwest want, is tliat the Indians be put in a place where tiiey will need no agent at all. Tliey have caused mre trouble, loss tyid auxiety than they are worth and the sooner they are made "good Indians" of tlie better it will be for the government and the peo ple, and the Indian problem will never be solved until that is accomplished. The forthcoming number of the Rail way Age will contain a review of the foreclosure sales and receiverships for 1890. During the year there were sold Under foreclosure twenty-nine roads, ag gregating 3,825 miles and about 9182,500,000 of funded debt and capital stock. Twenty-six railways went into the hands of a receiver. They embrace nearly 3,000 miles of line end over f 105,000,000 securities. It is reported that preparations are making for the investment of a large amount of capital in the oil and mining regions near Casper, during tlie coming season. The owners of the oil fields are confident that tbey will strike it rich. Tlie prospects are that the region west and north of here will be equal to Penn sylvania in its wealth of oil and minerals and the consequences will be that this locality will reap great benefits therefrom. The Omada eel, who edits the Bee, in the issue ofthat paper of the 5th inst. does a great deal of wigghjigand i squirming about the Jstter "recently ad djresjedioMmjljrflbn. L. D. Richards. It will prove a very hard task for the Omaha traitor tq make the republicans of Nebraska believe that he is uot a fol lower of him who betrayed his master for thirty pieces of silver, and his efforts to get out of the difficulty are likely to result the same as did the last act of Judas. It is proposed to make the attempt to find tlie open polar sea by means of an air ship. A balloon capable of raising seventeen and one-half tons is to be pre pared and five men are to undertake the trip. Gas to inflate the balloon will be manufactured as needed. No greater height will be attained than is necessary to avoid elevations of the land. Toe scientists appear determined to find the north pole if there is any such thing pos sible. The prompt manner, in which the inem bers of the state militia responeded to - yS.kc the field indicates that they are ; filling to prove that they are made of good mettle should occasion demand.

Not only will it make it impossible for farmers to purcliase a har vester except by paying the monopoly price but it throws out of employment over 10,000 laborers. This also falls on the farmers, indirectly, for tliat number of men out of employment means that about 50.000 people must be supported by some other means. Many of the men will drift into agricultural pursuits and raise more farm products instead of help ing to consariie what was raised, and give in exchange therefur the work of their hands in the manufacture of ma chines. HOMES! There is still a lare amouti' t of GOVERN'Mrxr LAN" ) open to entry in A great change lias come over a great many members of congress within the past few months. It was only a little while since the general expression was that there was enough money in circula tion. But since the people (.-bowed what they desired by their votes on Nov. 4th. there is a great scramhlu to see who will be the first to provide a way to overcome the stringency in finance. Almost every member has a pet scheme which he ad vocat es as the best and only practicable one. I tie point to be wateliod is not to select the plan which will 1 only tem porary in its benefits, and also to avoid a plan which is in the interest of the bank ers and capitalists. Let a little law making on the financial question be done direct in the interest of tlie poor man, just for the sake of seeing how it would work. It would undoubtedly be a very novel kind of law, but it would be ap preciated by a great many people. Aver s Catharic Pills stimulate the ap petite ami regulate the bowels. Try them. Have you seen Ayer's Almanac' Hood's Calendar for l.Ol is out and it is certainly a beautiful production of the lithographers' and printers' arts. The subject represents three children plowing musical instruments and the positions, expressionsj coloring and general finish make a most charming picture. But to be appreciated, it must be seen. Ask your druggist for Hoods' Sarsaparilla Calendar, or send six cents in stamps for one copy, or ten cents for two, to C. L Hood & Co. , Lowell, Mass. Kotice to Creditors.
