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 western hotel this morning but were 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. (J 0 M MISSION i: II S' UFX'OKD. fOllii'ial.l II AKKiso.v, sioux CousTr, 'eb. .March , 1HVI.

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. Married.
