uni, ..iKiiuaj auernoon a good p.un
visited this locality. 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

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

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.

against him and may be prosecuted
when he has served out the sentence re

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

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
