The engineers say )he amount of snow that has fallen Jr inter exceeds the fall of snow ony V since the Elkhorn line has leen i through this country. Judging from the remarks in the last I of the Herald, the adjournment of Jistrict cqurt made two imlividuals jy. One of them was (Joker, because tried and acquitted and the other the double-primary worker who ed ne gang organ, because he wax not jfht to trial.

A. SoraiwoitTH, County Supt. The winter has been severe in Mon tana as well as other places. Frank Ruasell, who went with Ed Remsburg from this county, went from their home to the poKtofllce, twenty miles distant. On the return trip he lost his way and wandered around for a long time and finally reached home but was severely frozen. The Nebraska Security Co., is this week sending out thousands of letters, circulars and lists of land for sale in Sioux county to farmers in tho east. Letters of inquiry are being received in great numlxjrs, individuals and colonies are asking about Sioux county, and the indications are that a heavier immigra tion will come into Sioux county this year than ever before. The Harrison correspondent of the Omaha live sent in a report of the Coker trial and entirely omitted the name of County Attorney Conley therein, al though all the other attorneys in the case were mentioned. It is evident that the correspondent of the lice does not like Mr. Conley, but it indicates a pretty narrow minded way of doing busi ness when pretending to give news that omissions are made. If the Dee desires tlie support of the people of this locality it should get a correspondent who will not let his personal prejudice overshad ow his statements. For four weeks the ground has been covered with snow and the snow has a hard crust on top. The result is that stock which lias to depend on the stand ing grass for a living are eking out an existence and not all are able to do that. Losses are reported by various parties, and it is also stated that although the cattle were fat when the bad weather began they are rapidly becoming weak ened. The experience of this winter will prove to stockgrowers that it is neces sary to provide feed and shelter for such times in order to avoid serious loss. Ex-Governor Foster, of Ohio, has been named by President Harrison as the suc cessor to the late Secretary Windoni. The selecon gives very general satisfac tion. Tlie new secreinry has demonstra ted the fact that he is possessed of a great deal of ability. The Pacific Short Line has passed into the Iiands of the Great Northern and will be pushed west from O'Neill as rapidly as possible, not only to Ogden. but to the Pacific coast. That means a great deal for the south part of Sioux county, and in fact to the entire county for it will cause that part of the county to settle rapidly and greatly increase the wealth. The tide of westward immigration is beginning unusually early this year. Three special trains loaded with farmers, their families, stock and implements, left one locality in Illinois last week. Two of the trains stopped in Iowa and the other came to Northern Nebraska. Over 200 people where in the two parties. It is generally conceded that Northern Ne braska will receive the greatest number of settlers' of any portion of the state during 101. The Herald evidently does not like to have its pet theories knocked out by the courts and in mentioning the decision of Judge Kinkaid insinuatingly remarks that "It is, therefore only necessary for the legislature to make signs." That paper has t-iken it upon itself to argue points of law at various times in the past and the arguments have always lieen from the standpoint taken by the gang, and if any person or court took exceptions to line of argument, the mud-batteries of the Hrrald were at once trained upon him. The gang is apparently a little timid about attacking the decision of Judge Kinkaid, through their organ, so they simply insinuate, hut the records of the court are enlmceu just tlie same. THE Journal is informed that ere the sun rises and sets many times Jun.es E. Boyd will t'ike his hat, vacate the ex ecutive ofllce at tlie capital and go home and John M. Thayer will still be govern or of Nebraska. The people of the state in general will be glad when that takes place. The userpation of the ofllce by fioyd when it was evident that he had no right to it has made many people want to see him ousted. In the matter of de fending the interests of the state which he had taken an oath to do, John M. Thayer called down a torrent of abuse from a certain class which wo not in keeping with the facts and circumstan ce, a ixl when Gen. Thayer again takes his seat as governor, fie will nave occa sion to feel even prowler than at any former tine. As to a Continuance. Tlie Heruld in its last issue attempted to make out that George Englebrecht who had given bonds to answer to tlie charge of assault with intent to kill, is not under obligations to appear under the bond now on file for the reason tliat a new bond was not demanded. The fol lowing is a copy of the affidavit for con tinuance: In tlie DUtriet Court of Sioux County, Ne lraka. State of Nclira-.ka i x. lirorfcre KiiKlebrecht.

The law in such cases is that a bond holds good until released in ojien court, or the case finally disposed of. It will, without doubt be to tlie interest of the men who are on the bond of Mr, Engle brecht to see that he is present when the district court convenes. School Entertainment.

'-- Subscribed and sworn to before seal me this '27th day of Kefory., Isld. II. T. Covlev, Notary Public. There has been a good deal of talk about a new judicial district being formed out of Sheridan, Dawes, Box ilutte and Sioux counties. The best information to lie had on the subject is to the cfl'ect that no such district will be formed. If any change is made it will most likely be that an additional judge will be provided for the 12th district. If Boyd has the appointing power at that time it is likely that A. VV. Crites ex-receiver at the land olllce will be named for the place, hut we hope ere that time that Boyd will be out and then a republican will be in the line of npitointment. Two men in the west ern jiart of the district have been, favor ably spoken of in that connetion Hon. A. Bartow, of Chodron, and Hon. V. W, Wood, of Rush villa. The former has stated that he did not aspire to tlie po sition so that it is more than likely that Mr. Wood will be the man, should the legislature make such provision. Experience proves that nothing else so surely destroys scrofula as Ayer's Barea District Court Proretdlar. The following is tlie disposition of cases made at the April term of the district court: CRIMINAL CASES. State vs. James T. Mason, dismissed. State vs. John and Mary Sliay, dis missed.
