Snow drifts have delayed trains
every day this week. It was worse in
the eastern part of the state than here of
late.
A couple of young men attempted
to jump their board bill at ths North

brought bar); and made to "ante."
On the second page of this issue ap
pears a synopsis of the new ballot law of
the state. The saliaut features of every
section are given, so that all our readers
will lie well advised of its provisions.
On last Saturday O. A. Garten was
at work in the timlier. win n a tree fell
on him, injuring his right leg ipiite se
verely. It is quite likely that the bone
between the knee and ankle in cracked. N
The gang organ refers to the proper
ty interests of a couple of individuals.
Their property and the records will show
for themselves and it is safe to say that
they will not, like the editor of the Ib r
alii, make a statement different to the
records and ask people to take their
statements in preference to the records.
We need some wood and now that
the snow is going off, we hope our
friends who have promised us wood on
subscription will make their promise
good. It will not he long until spring
work will lie on hand and then it will lie
hard to find time to haul wood. We
should like to have a supply large
enough to last through the busy season.
We have received the lir docket of
the district court of Sioux county, Ne
braska, from which it appears that II. T.
Con ley is getting a good share of the law
practice in that county. There are forty-five
cases ou the docket, and Mr. Con
ley appears as counsel in thirty-one of
them. Besides Ixdng county attorney,
he has a large civil practice. The docket
was printed by the. Harrison Jorii.NAL,
and is a very creditable piece of work.
S uwd llrparttr.
A change occurred in superin
tendent of -this division of tho F. E. &.
M. V. on the 4th inst. T. H. Seeley re
signed recently and E. C. Harris was pat
in his placed Mr. Harris has been in
charge of the division at Norfolk for a
long time, and is known as a thorough
railroad man. Mr. Keeley has proven
himself a good man for- the place and
leaves with the good wishes of employees
and patrons of the road.
A correspondent of the Crawford
CunmiTuni, writing from Cottonwood
precinct, Sioux county, asks 1he
aid Mint for the needy of this county
goes, and states that there are a few
families iu that locality who could stand
a little aid. The committee appointed
by the commissioners to have charge of
this work receive the goods and distrilr-ut-
them to parties that apply taking a
receipt therefor. If the people of Cot
tonwood who are in need hail appeared
and asked for supplies thoy would doubt
less have been treated the same as other?
but the settlers in that part of the coun
ty can hardly exK'Ct that the committee
is going to send out goods without a re
quest or receipt.
The question of artesian wells in
northwest Nebraska appear to ho set
tled. While returning from Chadron re
cently J. M. Daniels was informed that a
well near Whitney was throwing water
about five feet uliove the top, and that
the well was but HO feet deep. The
roads and weather were bad and he could
not spend the time to visit. He inform
ed the people here and others have ul.-.o
brought information Concerning it.
Judge Barker will, in the near future,
visit tho well and ascertain the altitude
and all else ho can in regard to it. This
ought to induce some of tho people in
the valley to have . a test well put down.
It is quite likely that some of tho well
drillers would make a reasonable price
fc-r sinking a test well. It is of interest
to ull to know if artesian water can be
had at a reasonable depth in Sioux coun
ty for if that proves true it will add to
the material wealth of tho entire coun
ty. Artesion wells are a great benefit to
any locality.
The gang organ apparently does not
like the idea of the records of its backers
and strikers being investigated by an ex
pert aiid raises a terrible howl for peace.
It is a poor time to ask for peace after
the acts of tho gang and its organ for the
past three years. The mills of justice
may grind slowly but as a rule they do
a pretty thorough job Wore they get
through. The cry for peace ought to
have lieen made long ago. Did the gang
or its organ ever say one word about
peace when they were dragging those
who dared opjiose them from court to
court on charges for w hich there was no
foundation? And even now in the same
breath that cry for ;ace they continue
to "wade into" those whom they have
been fighting, regardless of tho truth.
Tho fact is that justice, too longd-'
is getting in shape to lay Ui' . ;;
grasp of tho law ou some evil doeu no
uyJae'i a gruiid jury on a. twuiutttUj,
ai d the fjang is reading the hand-writing
on the wall. Now that they are duwnj
they cry for peace, but with dogged ten
acity want to dictate the terms of jxaee.
They cry for peace and demand that The
Jot'L'XAL be sat down upon: that some of
its friends be Ostrcised; that tho present
county officials lie condemned and that
former ollicials be upheb! and their rec
ords remain unmolested, and that every
thing go according to tin .wi.dies of the
gang and its organ, as wtts the case in
former yea. s. They claim some people
are k- "ping up an unnecessary light.
Just so long as the gang and its organ
cortimie to uphold wrong doing among
their friends and attempts to injure the
sta rling or business of those w ho work
for right and the advancement of the
welfare of the settlers, just so long will
tli's fight be kept up. If the gan and
its organ want eace let them withdraw
their mud-batteries and let justice take
its course.

The New I. and Law
The bill in relation to government land
was signed by the president ou March 3d
anil thereby became a law. A. number
of very important changes are made.
The repeal of the pre-emption and timber
culture entries and also the prohibition
of offering public lands at public sale,
thus preventing private or cash entries
are important points. The new law also
provides that no person who is the owner
of more than 1'iO acres of land in any
state or territory shall acquire any right
under the homestead law. All entries of
lands made prior to the taking effect of
the new law, are to hold good so long as
the party malting the entry complies
with the demands of the law,
The law further provides that if a per
son who has made a limber culture en
try and after four years faithful compli
ance with the law as to cultivation and
tree planting, fails to have the number
of trees required by law, may commute
tho same and make final proof thereon
by the payment of Sfl.2.1). The law is (oo
long to be published in full in our col
umns, but a copy of the law can lie seen
by calling at Tub Journal office.

Henry N. Copp, the Washington (I).

ed his Settler's Guide, the seventeenth
edition. In view of the recent confusing
legislation of Congress, this book is an
indispensible assistant to all who are, or
expect to lie, interested iu public land.
Settlors will save money by purchasing
it, and all who expect to take up land at
any limo in tho future should get postid
and save expensive mistakes. A chapter
illustrated with numerous cuts, show;s
how to tell township, section, and quarter-section
corners and explains the sys
tem of surveys. It gives full informa
tion about the homestead, pre-emption,
limber culture, desert land and other
laws. The price of the book is 23 cents.
Address the author.
It will tell you who is entitled to enter
land; how continuous your residence
must bei what improvements you must
make; ivhat affidavits, you must swear
to; about contests and on what grounds
they can Ikj commenced; also suggestions
a! mil I stale lands, stone and timber lands
mineral lands, desert entries, saline, rail
road, coal, townsite and other lands. Its
purchase will save you money and trou
ble, as erroneous statements circulated
by conversation among settlers may, if
acted upon, cost you a contest, perhaps
your land and improvements...
