Editor Entered at the Harrison post office as sec ond class matter. THTJBSDAY, JCLY 2, 1891. On and after next Saturday. July 4th, the legal Hag of the United States will contain 44 stars, one for each of the newly admitted states being added at that time. Not many years ago the land around Grand Island was not considered worth much, but the farmers have stuck to it and the result is that it has developed into a rich country. Although but 24 miles square, the recent assessment of Hall county rolls up a total of $3,653, 147. Notwithstanding the drouth of last year, real estate in that county has Increased 9301,637 over last year, inat snows what toe development or a county will do. It will be remembered that there is a beet sugar factory at Grand Island. County Attorney Conley wrote to At torney General Hastings tat some au thorities bearing on the cancellation of claims and warrants to offset the short age of the ex-county officials. Gen. Hastings looked tip the authorities as requested and Wrote Mr. Conley that in his opinion the actiod takes by the coun ty board was legal. Besides being at torney general, George H. Hastings is recognized as one of the best lawyers in the state, and his opinion on the point is pretty good authority. the board of public lands and build ings is making it decidedly interesting for the officials of the insane hospital at Hastings, and there will doubtless be some removals for cause. The board as at present constituted seem to have a pretty good faculty of going to the very bottom of an affair which they start to investigate. It is; always necessary to keep a close watch of the methods of contracting state institutions and those to which people bereft of reason are con signed should be watched the closest. Law, justice and humanity all demand that snth unfortunates be treated with crae consideration. Terrible storms, causing floods, visited northwestern Iowa and eastern Nebraska last week. A number of lives were lost, railroad tracks and brie washed out, crops destroyed and many thousands of dollars' worth of other property de stroyed. Hundreds of families were ren dered homes, aK they swept being swept away, and calls for' financial aid from the outside world have been issued from some places. The. entire town of Moville, Iowa; was washed out with the exception of one hbn'se. In. this state a good deal of damage Was done,, in some places, West Point losing $ 15,000 worth if property; - .
