THE EXPERT ACCOUNTANT FILES
HIS REPORT.
A Rattliag Aatoag the Dry Bom.
The last issuo of The Jouuiai, stated
tliat tlie expert was nearly through
with the investigation of the county
records and it proved tliat he got along
better than he anticipated and his report
was filed with the county clerk on last
Saturday. He went over the books of
all the officers from the organization of
Sioux county up to the first of January,
1891, and the result was that he found
that thoM who have had charge of the
affairs of the county are indebted thereto
to the amount of $2,677.50.
That is a larger shortage than it was
expected would be found and it is owed
to the county by the various parties as
follows:
C. C. Jameson 794 26
Ed. C. Lockwood 643 95
E. D. Satterlee 631 50
A. McGinley 151 75
D. Klein 130 60
Geo. Walker.. 1 126 56
J. W. Hunter 80 15
Don M. Weir 44 40
Conrad Lindeman 27 48
J. A. Green 23 80
Chas. U. Grove 17 05
Ex-Commissioner J. G. Morris has a
balance due him of $23.00, and the books
of all the other officials, past and pres
ent are reported as correct.
The work of the expert occupied just
twenty days and hi$ bill is for $110.00,
and the bill of his assistant is for $54.00,
so that the total cost to the county will
be $164.00. Whether or not it was a
paying investment The Journal leaves
the taxpayers to decide.
The report of the expert does not
touch upon the matters of the court
house contract nor road and bridge con
tracts, neither does it take up the mat
ter of illegal, exorbitant or duplicate
bills having been presented by private
parties and allowed, nor debts contracted
in excess of the levy.Such matters will
liave to be reached through another
channel.
It is an easy matter for an officer to
get things mixed. It has been claimed
by their friends that all the men in the
above list are honest. If that be true
they will all walk up and re-imburse the
county treasury and that will end the
matter.
Highest price paid for hides at the
harness shop.
Spring stock of millinery fst re
ceived at Mrs, H. A. Cunningham
The shipment of two hundred trians
of cattle is expected to begin over this
line about May 1st.
County Superintendent Southworth
asks us to remind the people that April
22d is Arbor Day.
We are informed that Mary J. Hunt,
who formerly resided in this county, died
recently in Iowa, of heart trouble.
On last Mouday the new elected
board of villago trustees held a meeting
and organized by tlie election of S. L. R.
Maine, chairman, S. Barker, village
clerk, G. Guthrie, village treasurer.
On Tuesday James Farnam went to
Vorhees, to take charge of a railroad
section during the temporary absence of
J. W. Langdon, who came down to build
a new house on his farm in the north
part of this county.
The relief committee want -all ap
plicants for seed wheat to call and get it
not later than noon, on Tuesday, April
21. Any who do not call on or before
that date will be considered as not in
tending to take their share, and the com
mittee will act accordingly.
J, A. O'Connor has a few sugar beets
for sale to parties desiring to plant them
for raising seed. They are the beets
from which those were taken which
yielded 23.2 per cent of sugar, so there
is no question as to the quality of the
beets,
In another column appears the ad
vertisement of Darbann, the Imported
Percheron horse belonging to A. W.
Mohr. This is one of the . finest draft
hones in northwest Nebraska and is
greatly admired by all who see him.
On last Monday Julius Sievers ar
rived from Iowa with a car loaded with
stock, farming utensils, household goods,
etc Among the horses was a fine gray
Canadian-Norman stallion, which is quite
an addition to the list of line horses in
this county.

It is reported that the "coon dive"
near Ft. Robinson, known as the "Handy
ranch" is again running in full blast. It
will be remembered tliat that is the
place where the killing of Tate by Coker
took place, and the result was that the
taxpayers of Sioux county have to pay
the expenes a murder trial. Some steps
should be taken to rid the county of the
institution, es a row will occur sooner or
later another big expense put upon the
county. ?
Messing & Heckman, the windmill
men of Montrose, were in Harrison a
short time on last Tuesday. They have
recently put up a mill and tank for H.
Konrath and will lay a lot of pipe soon
to conduct the water to his house and
bcrn. Mr. Heckman took material home
with him for a windmill tower which
he will put up on his own place. They
report the farmers in good spirits and
the prosjiects excellent for good crops.

He will preach on Sunday at the Bodure
school house at 11 o'clock a. m., and in
Harrison at 7:30 p. m. All are requested
to be present. E. E. E. RoniCK,
Pastor.
The clash of opinion yesterday dem
onstrated that it would be a good plan
to have a grade established for sidewalks,
streets and gutters so there may be some
system in regard to work thereon. It is
almost always the case that in new-
towns that the side walks and crossings
are put down in an irregular, hap-hazard
manner, for the simple reason tliat no
grade has been established. A good deal
of trouble and expense can be saved by
fixing a grade and a good deal added to
the appearance of the town,
Strayed From my farm 6 miles
south of Harrison on or about April 9,
1891, two 2-year-old heifers, 1 polled-an-
gus bull 2 years old, one 2-year-old steer,
one red cow 4 years old and five last
springs calves. The cow branded "T"
on right hip, and one heifer had a bell
on and the other heifer hod a tin weaner
in her nose, and steer had a rope around
his neck. Information leading to their
recovery will be suitably rewarded.

It has been suggested that it would
be a good plan for school districts to
make a small levy for the creation of a
fund with which to establish a circulating
library for the district. One great dis
advantage people have in the country is a
lack of good books for both parents and
children. . A district library com
posed of well-selected books, even
though few in number, would prove a
great benefit to all the people of the dis
trict. It would be well for the people to
investigate the matter and when the
annual school meeting occurs the matter
can be discussed intelligently.
