this locality extend congratulations.

The pasture season has begun and
now there is no occasion for any one let

that the village board will see that the
ordinance in regard to taking care of
stock is enforced.
Rev. Rorick took charge of one of
the departments of the villiige ' school
the first of the week as Miss Connor was
not able to take her accustomed place.
She has so far recovered now that she
has resumed work.
At the meeting last week the county
commissioners took action in a number
of important matters. The record of
their proceedings which appears on
another page of this issue should be read
by every resident of Sioux county.
A son was born to Mr. and Mi's. IL

John Phinkett says he has seen
some pretty hard tinie since he came to
Sioux county, but he has got a quarter
section of lapd free from encumbrance
a team, harness and wagon and some
farm tools and is out of debt. Such a
condition repays one for enduring hard
times.
E. Rohwer, of the Harrison House,
has fitted up a large ice chest in connec

supply of fresh meat on hand, not only
for his own use hut be will accommo'

circumstances will permit. He prefers
to do this to sending as much money
to other towns as ho did last year.
The hose which diappeared from the
pump last fall, came to light a few days
ago and now those who have to haul
their supply of water can do so without
much trouble. If the village board will
have a few feet of pipe put on the pump
and then attach the hose it would make
it easy to fill barrels in wagons or pump
into a trough or pail.
The question of a county poor farm
is one of importance to the taxpayers
and many express themselves as of the
opinion that one should lie provided as
soon as circumstances will permit,
Now the only thing that can be done
with paupers is for the justice of the
peace to take care of them for a time
and if they are to become a continued
county cearge to advertise for bids for
keeping them. For a justice to provide
for them is expensive, for as a rule, pau
pers want more and of a better quality
than the ordinary mortal and they seem
to poueu a pretty good faculty for in
sisting on having their demands com
plied with. The writer recalls an in
stance which occurred in another coun
ty. A family was destitute and the
proper official sent them some provis-
among which '.vera some pie peaches.
These were indignantly returned, ac
companied by tlie statement that they
wanted California peaches or none.
With few exceptions paupers are an un
grateful class and think they are ill
treated if they are not furnished with
the fat of the land. A county poor farm
in one of toe best investments a county
can make, and it is advisable that Sioux

JULIUS SIEVERS,.
Owner.
Bagged a Horse Thief.
The first of the week Sheriff Reidy got
a description of a man who was wanted
Dawes county, to answer to the
charge of horse stealing. Ilis name was
George Benham, and he had been tried
in the district court of Dawes county
last year for stealing cattle and the jury
disagreed and he had been released on
bail. Recently he and a companion were
discovered stealing goods at a farm
house, but fled on horseback and when
followed they drew revolvers on their
pursuers. A man by the name of Mi
Millan missed two horses and he and
another man followed them to the 33
ranch in this county where Benham had
stopped. They got five horses, two of
them being the ones missed by McMillan
and they also took the saddle, bedding
rifle, etc., that Benham had brought
with liim, but they did not care to tackle
the man. Word was sent to Sheriff
Reidy, and also the information that the
fellow was well armed. On Tuesday
morning the sheriff spied his man at
Hoyt's livery barn and proceeded to ar
rest him. He kept him until about the
middle of the afternoon when the deputy
sheriff of Dawes county arrived and took
the prisoner to Chadron on the evening
train, The man evidently is a bad one
and Sheriff Reidy is entitled to credit for
taking him in so nicely. It looks as if
Benham would have an opportunity to
serve the state for a term of years.
The children day service will be held
in the M. E. church at Harrison, on Sun
day, June 14, 1892. The exercises will
consist of musical and jiterary enter
tainment, and will be under the auspices
of the Union Sunday School of Harrison.
Every one is cordially invited to be pres
ent. E. E. E. Rorick,
Superintendent.
Once more The Journal desires to
call the attention of the farmers to the
fact that it is high time to begin to pre
pare for an exhibit at the state fair.
When in town last week Treasurer
Gay hart stated that as soon as the work
of putting in crops was over he intended
to work up the county agricultural
society, and the people want to be pre
pared to take hold of the matter and
push it to success. A county fair will
be a great benefit to the county, and to
hold it just long enough before the date
of the state fair to enable the exhibit to
be got there and put in shape, cannot
but lie an advantage to all.
Thirteen of the farmers of this lo
cality are in the ring and will contest
for the prizes offered by the state board
of agriculture for the best one-fourth of
an acre of sugar beets raised during the
present season. It is quite likely that
there are others who obtained seed from
the state board of whom we have not
learned as well as. some who obtained
tneir seed from other sources who will
compete for the prizes. Judging from
the results of last year Sioux county
stands a better show to win than any
other county. One thing must be borne
in mind by the growers, and that is that
the records required by the state board
must be kept in good shape. Do not
neglect this part of the work. It is im
portant to your success in the ma tter of
prizes, it is important to the state board
to enable them to work intelligently, and
it is important to the farmers of Sioux
county for at the close of the season
they will know just what results they
can figure on in the matter. The Jour
nal predicts that more than one of the
prizes offered by the state board will be
Awarded to Sioux county.
