It was accompa nieo uy some nan, liut the hail stones were small and did no damage, and after the llrst shower it took a rest until even ing and then a nice gentle shower, last mg lor nearly three Jiours lettered down. On Tuesday it rained some more and on Wednesday a little more moisture fell and on Thursday it c tinues to mill. i lie reports from other parts of the couniy are, in general, mat good rams fell. From tho south the reports are that not ho much miu fell as there did here, but from the north a irreat deal wavier rainfall is reported, and it evmcui inai an pans oi the county are well soaked. Some assert that more water has fallen in the Hat Creek basin this week than fell during the entire season of 1890. Whether that is a fact or not is hard to ascertain, but in any event uiey had a good rain, and as a re sult the farmers are all happy. The drouth of last year made overy one fear lest it should te related but the late rains will do much to dispel -all fears. for a partial crop will be raised, even if no more rains fall, but the indications are that there w ill be plenty of mois ture during the season. It has been quite cool for some days so that the water that has fallen has had a good opportunity to soak into the ground. The cool weather is good for the small grain and everything indicates that excellent crops will reward the farmers this year and bring prosperity to the country. We ru;ed a load of wood. This kind of weather makes, a fire necessary. We are informed Uiat a new stock of millinery and ladies', furnishing goods "j will be opened in Harrison about 'June 1st. Particulars later. Siierintendent Harris and P. Whit ney, of the townsite department went up the road this morning. Shaking of the through passenger train Mr. Harris informed The Jolknai, that the F. E. & M. V., are waiting fur the U, P., and the train is likely to he put on almost atiy Sunday. ' H. R. Story was in from Antelope precinct yesterday and called at our of fice. Ho says they liad gooxl rains there the llrst of the week and the ground is thoroughly soaked and they will have a roo if it does not rain any more, for the soil will retain the moisture for a long time. Tho fact that a number of the farm ers have gono away to work while their crops are growing makes it niole impor tant than ever that stock bo taken care of. The prosfiectH for good crops are ex cellent and stock should no the permitted to destroy them. '. , When the MKra in the case asking that the mandamus to compel tho pay ment of some of the old allowed claims, was (iled in the district court the first of the week at Hemingford, Judge Kjnkuid set June 13, 1W1, as the day for bearing it, and also set that date as the time for holding the Hecial term of tho district court in Sioux county. .So that the term will be held three weeks from to morrow. There will bo no jury. ' Just to show that the farmers are in earnest the crop put in by a few may be of interest. John Corbin has 75 acres In crop; Robert Wilson has 90 acres' Julius Sievers 90 acro; A. B. Kennedy. 13.' ocre; Jacob lloury 0 acres of com, awl a lot of other crops, the number of acres of which was not learned. "All these parties reside In this locality except Mr. Henry, who lives in Montrose precinct. Theware only a few, and there are doubtless many more who twve ' equally of whom we uavscot PERSONAL.

Verity returned Friday from his trip to the Pacific coast. He still be lieves Sioux county is all right. John Mosley writes us to send The Joi-knal to him at Cambria, -Wyo., where he will spend tluj summer. ,.-i.i. Before district court adjourned in Uyves county, George Beuham was sen tenced by Judge Crites to four years at hard labor in the pen, on his plea of guilty to the cliarge of cattle stealing. The cliarge of horse stealinj still stands against him and may be prosecuted when he has served out the sentence re cently passed. The result of the experiments in the culture of sugar beets is being watched with a good deal of interest by people not only in this state, but by' people in general. Those who are in position to judge claim that Nebraska has advan tages possessed by no other state. It is claimed by some that the prices paid at (irand Island were not enough to make beet growing remunerative. The Ox nard company paid throe dollars per ton for beets which yielded 12 per cent of sugar, and 23 ceiits per ton additional for each 1 ier cent of sugar above 12. There were twelve samples of beets sent from Harrison for testing. The average yield was over 17.8 per cent of sugar and it will be seen that at the price paid at Grand Island the farmers would have received if 1.2) per ton for their beets. Scientists state that the sugar contained n sugar beets is drawn from the air by the leaves during sunny days and is ab sorbed by the roots during the nights. That being true is another argument that this locality is finely adapted to beet culture for there are more bright, sun shiny days here than in any place we know of. The number of farmers who are experimenting with beets this year will demonstrate what can be done n producing beets. The beet sugar in dustry was built up in Germany by gov ernment bounty and now the business is so well established that the bounty is lieing removed. In the French beet growing district the average yield is twenty tons per acre, and in some in stances the yield is as high as thirty tons. Taking the lowest yield in tons and tle average yield of sugar as shown by the tests of beets from here last year t would give the beet grower $8o per acre, wrnie laKing me ingnesi, yieiu in tons and the highest yield of the tests m:ide last year and the grower would realize $172. 50 jier acre. Will someone tell us what crop can be raised that will rive anv where near so large returns as 3 that? Tho planting, cultivating and harvestinir come at seasons when other crops best adapted to this part of the country do not demand the attention of the farmers. Such points are well worth considering. A Mechanical Wonder. The Decoration Day issue of the Alba ny, N. Y.t Telegram will be the most original, unique and popular paper ever presented to the American public; noth ing like it ever attempted by a newspa per in the nineteenth century. As a me chanical wonder and a military literary uurary mere will be nothing to even compare with it issuedin this country. It will be printed ou red, white and blue paper and consist of 16 pages. If there is no agent uj your town you can have the paper mailed to you at five cents a copy. No other preparation so meets the wants of a debilitated system as Ayer's oarsapanlla.

The debt of foreign nations in 1H90, less the sinking fund, was 425,080, 076,000, an increase over 1880 of sf2,154,f)0:i,6ri5. The debt of the United SUites for the same time shows a de crease of ;i,007,4r)r,000, or more than half the nmount "of the debt in 1880. The decrease In the debt of states and territories for the ten years to 1890 was $67,210,000. In the same time the dobt of counties Increased 17,810,000. Rela tively the burden of the debt falls far heavier upon the inhabitants of the prin cipal foreign countries, except thoso of Germany, than upon those or this coun try. -Willie the individual fluctuations in the amount of the indebtedness of seventy more foreign nations reported hit been considerable during the decade, the aggregate Indebtedness shows rela ti.oiM Imi. little rhlintm. especially if comparod with the increase of popula tion, Aggregating, the national, state and county indebtedness, the per capita shows a decrease from ?46.50 in 18W to $90.46 in 1MM).
