With this issue the third year of the
existence of The Journal closes. Since
the paper jvas established Sioux county
has passed through troubles incident to
the settlement of most new countries,
but now with the good crops and prices
an era of prosperity for the farmers and
therefore to the whole community, ap
pears to be dawning. ' It lias been the
policy of The Journal to advocate the
advancement of cultivation and develop
ment of tlie county and the returns
which the farmers will receive will
demonstrate that the policy was correct
For the course pursued in the past we
have no apologies to oiler, and shall in
the future continue to advocate what
appears to be for the best interests of the
county, and shajl endeavor to keep The
Journal fully up with tlie times.
Thanking our friends for the support
"given in the past and hoping all will en
joy increased prosperity in the future,
we shall endeavor to merit a support in
keeping with the growth of the town and
county.
; Land that yields from two to three
times its cost in a single crop is a good
investment That is what western Ne
braska land is doing this year. Lincoln

At the drill contest of the state ma-
litia at Grand Island last 'week, Co. D, of
the 2d regiment won the prize. This is
the company which was stationed here
last winter at the time of the Indian
trouble, and those who met the boys of
Company D will be pleased to earn of
their success.
The republican primaries of Holt
county were held last week and the re
ports are that all the delegates are for
the nomination of Judge Kinkaid. Such
action by his home county indicates
that Judge Kinkaid is most popu
lar among those who know him best.
The probabilities are that Kinkaid will
be nominated by acclamation when the
convention meets.
The sale of the Short Line railroad did
not come off as was expected. Just as
the sale was to commence the so bettors
of the Manhattan Trust Co., who an
plaintiffs in the case, filed a request with
Receiver Bierbower that the selling of
the road he deferred and no sale be made
nader the decree of the court now eximV
'tej. Vo am appears to kaow the cause
fO tit action of the trust company.
At the republican convention of
Brown county "the delegates lo the judi
cial convention were iastructed for tlie
nomination of Jude Kinkaid for re-elec
tion. Tlie indications are jllint Judge
Kinkaid will be nominated bv acclama
tion. Tliat would 1 the proer thing.
He has filled tlie office honorably and
efficiently and his decisions aie held in
high esteem by all and there is no occa
sion to make a change.
The question of township organization
is lieing agitated in Dawes ounty and
titions are lieing circulated aiing tliat
tlie matter be submitted at the coming
election. There are a number of coun
ties in the state tliat would gladly sell
their experience with township organiza
tion for a great deal less tlian it has cpst.
There is not, so far as we liave ever
learned, a single county in the state
where tlie township plan lias lieen
adopted tliat is satisfied with the system
and a numlier are going tack to the
commissioner system.
The year of 191 seems to be likely jto
be noted for early frosts. Last week the
temperature went down so low as to do
damage in the iJakotis, Wisconsin, Iowa,
portions of Nebraska and oilier states.
At some points ii; - Iowa a good deaj of
damage was done by a black frost.
which indicates a lower tenier.iture
than the white frost. Corn was dam
aged as well as vegetables and garden
stjilT.xIn this locality a white frost
visited some localities on the table land,
but no signs of freezing appeared iu the
valley, and but little damage was done.
The artic le from the Iowa Iftmiextead,
which appears in another column of this
issue in regard tp J he prevention of frost
by smudges should be carefully read by
every farmer. The recent work of
science in controlling the elements and
avoiding damaging effects therefrom has
opened new fields for thought. The
time is past when a man could make a
success of farming simply by following
the old methods. The man who would
best succeed as a farmer must now study
his business and adopt measures and
methods in accordance with the times.
There is just as sharp competition among
the farmers as there is among merchants
and the man who uses brains as well as
brawp jn his farming operations will ac
quire a competence, while the man who
sticks to tlie old ruts of ten or twenty
years ago will have a hard time to eke
out an existence. This is an age of ad
vancement in farming as well as every
thing else and it is the duty of all to
exert themselves to keep up with the
times.
Some effort lias been made to get up&
move to nominate a non-partisan candi
date for judge of the supreme court aud
circular letters were sent out over the
state relating to the matter. The plan
was decidedly transparent and the fact
tliat it was only an attempt to get a
democrat on the supreme bench was
easily detected. Some efforts have also
been made to fuse the democrats and re
publicans, but the rank and file gave
warning that they would not stand any
such foolishness and if such a thing was
brought about by the would-be leaders
there would be a great falling over each
other in the rush to get into the inde
pendent party. The republican and demo
cratic parties nave fought too long and
the lines are too well defined to allow of
any such move. If a party cannot stand
on its principles it is bound to go down,
and the republican principles have with
stood the assaults of opposition for more
than a quarter of a century and there is
no occasion now for that party to fuse
with the democrats,
A strong fight is being made . by the
press of the entire country against the
practice of substituting one article for
another. A favorite illustration is that
of medicine. A person gets up a remedy
of real merit and puts it on the market
and calls the attention of the public to
it by liberal advertising. Another per
son gets up a remedy of inferior quality
and gives it a name as near like the good
article as possible without violating the
law; the bottle wrappers are also very
similar to the article. The next step is
to put it on the market and to do this
they make the wholesale price lower
than that of the article they have so
nearly initated, and thus is the founda
tion laid for the work. A customer calls
for the article that has real merit and
the dealer substitutes the partial imita
tion, simply because there is a few cents
more profit and both the customer and
the manufacturer get cheated. ' The
work is not confined to medicines but
reaches to every branch of trade. The
best way to stop each work is for people
to insist on getting just what they call
for, and under no drcu instances accept
an article that is gotten up for the pur
pose of being used a a substitute for an
other.

The law, tlie plain law in regh.nl to Ui&
county printing is something the Herald
does not care to discuss. It is so much
easier to say robbers, thieves, barnacles,
railroad cappers, etc. and then the law
is on the wrong side anyhow.
Cottonwood precinct was not repre
sented at the convention held at the
court horse, but judging from a com
munication received to late for publica
tion there are quite a number who will
let themselves be heard from in favor
of the candidates nominated at said con
vention, The correspondent to the Herald from
Cottonwood (?) says Mr. Raum denies
getting pointers on the political situa
tion from Walker. We don't blame him
if he refused to take pointers from Walk
er tliat is, if his memory has not been
impaired. We suppose the subject of
the little confabs was "sour grapes."
No, Ifr. Boomerang, tlie People's In
dependent Party, are not trying to con
vince the people that they are the Alli
ance, and we judge it would be better
for the alliance if the Boomerang would
not expose its ignorance in trying to con
vince the people that any political party
is the alliance. Post up, Sammy post
up.
We would call the attention of the
voters of the second commissioner dis
trict to the fact that it will be necessary
for them to bold district conventions in
order to ratify the nominations made for
commissioner, or circulate petitions and
secure the signatures of one-fourth the
voters who are residents of the district,
in order to properly place the candidates
on the official ballot. The offi
cers of a county convention are not the
proper persons to certify to nominations
made for a district or precinct office, and
specially if the convention was not held
within the boundaries of the district or
precinct.
fho-f ReMtlutioi.
The Buomerang was request
ted to in
form itself in regard to tl resolutions
which it claimed were passed by tl
Siojx county aUiance, and it would un
doubtedly trnd a vast difference be
tween tlie assembly tliat passed the rewv
lnti'onsa;i4 the county alliame. Tlie
difference has been discovered, but tlie
Boommmo- has not tl spirit of lepess
about it to admit tliat it was mistaken.
The history of tl resolutions was
aliouj. correctly published in the Herald
last week, over tl signatures ol two oi
the delegates to the convention, who are
not members of tl Alliance, ami if cor-
rert the Boomerang is in error, ies,
eenOeman. there was a convention lield
nt t tilma" s tall on tl 1'ith day of
Aiiist, 1"V1, and tlre was a '-rough
draft" set of resolutions there which
ere imtientlv waiting for some one to
introduce them. Tlre was a commit
tee on resolutions, but the resolutions in
nuestion needed some trimming. Iliey
wer put iuU) tie hand, of the trimmer
.md failed to show up until "at the close
of i.u conventton and liefore adjourn
ing." Now, the Sioux county alliance
was not in session to pass any such reso
hitions that dav, Mr. Binswrong, and as
to whether all the delegates were present
nt that convention, "at the close, ' there
are quite a number of citizens who know
better.
Til? ( oiniiiissioiier Districts.
The county commissioners at a si ia
meeting held August 27th, changed the
boundary lines of the commissioner dis
tricts of the county, without changing
the liotiiidaijcij of tlie various voting pre
cincts. The districts as now constituted
will be comjiosed of the territory con
tained in the voting precinct as follows:
Uittrirt No. 1: Montrose, Antelo).
AVaWionnet, Hat Creek, Five Points.
District No. 3: Cottonwood, White
Ifiver, Andrews, Hodarc.
District No. 8: Bow en, Running Water,
Lower Running Water, Sheep Creek,
Snake Creek.
In making tlie t 'uige, after determin
ing as near i s ssilile wlmt .should
properly le done, the commissioners
drew the boundary lines on a map and
instructed the clerk to write the record
accordingly. In writing tie? record the
clerk omitted a cert,rji;t jv ;tiou of one
district and when his attention was
called to the fact inserted the same, in
the presence of the editor of the Hrrald,
and after carefully eomieiring the map
with the recoitl found that he had
omitted several sections of another dis
trict which he also inserted, while the
editor cm the Herald was absent. The
commissioners properly performed their
duty, and tlie clerk corrected the error
he made in .describing the territory, he
was instructed to describe, but th swell
head ol the Herald must have something
to howl about, hence the article in the last
issue of that sheet, headed: "No Man's
Land." Walker failed to find the several
sections omitted from district No. Land
it is well that he did, as his readers
would have been treated to several col
umns of "gush" had he done so,
The commissioner districts are divided,
however, and a corrected descripton of
the territory appears elsewhere in this
paer not at the expense of the co;int v.
The Uiuir.
The court house ring 'is supposed to
consist of the present county ollicials.
and we occasionally hear the remark:
"It don t matter who is elected this fall,
only not one of the ring." Tlie lioard of
commissioners are doing all in tieir
power to manage the affairs, pi the
county economically and ley;ullv. In
order to do so legally they are bound to
be economical, but none of them are be
fore the jieople for re-election, simply be
cause of the abuse heaped on them while
they are conscious that their duties were
and are lieing perfomed according to law
ana the best interests of tlie county.
The county attorney has another vear ti
serve before bis successor can be elected
and therefore there are four of the court
house ring who are not to be -le. il
The judge is not in the field for re-elec
tion, but we believe there -will be such a
demand made for him to accept the posi
tion for another term, that he wiU fin
ally consent to allow his name isi ho nuul
in that connection. There are few who
will not admit that the office of county
judge has been managed to tlie interests
of tlie tax payers during the term of the
present incumbent, and those who are
not satisfied tliat it was, have only to
examine the docket lo convince them
selves. It certainly can not lie truth
fully said Oiat the judge's office was a
"cost mill" during WW's administra
tion. The surveyor and coroner are an
