The great advertising train started on
time from Omaha on its trip through the
east and is pronounced a very fine collec
tion and is in the hands of men who will
work to attract people and capital to Ne
braska. Over fifty counties were repre
sented in the exhibition train and it will
do a great deal to "coax" people to Ne

The article which appears in another
column of this issue from the Chadron
Advocate will show how Crites worked
to get nominated at the independent
convention at Valentine, and it will also
Show what position Raum And Babcock
were in and the kind of independents
they were. The name of the person to
whom the letter was written is not
given, but the leader of the democratic
party in Sioux county and the individual
who is Crites' main striker here is well
known; so that the identity of the indi
vidual to whom the letter was addressed
can be pretty clearly guessed at
The irrigation companies are paying a
pood deal of attention to Melbourne of
file. The fact of his efforts to produce
rain having been attended by a good deal
of success and his effer to water a large
tract of territory in Kansas at a very
low rate per acre, does not appear to
please the leaders of the great irrigation
companies. The truth is becoming ap
parent The schema of the irrigation
companies is to get the arid lands ceded
to the several states and then they will
secure the water franchise from the
state government and proceed with the
greatest land steal that has ever been
perpetrated m the United States. The r
plans are well and deeply laid but it is
safe to say that they will not be able to
e them out If the states can
e the land, the nation is in a posi
o do so much better and the lands
should be kept from under the control of
corporations. With efforts being made
to put railroads and telegraph lines under
government control it would be rather
inconsistent to create a land monopoly.

The following are the instructions to
voters which appear on the large cards
which will be put into each polling
booth at the coming election. By read

better how to prepare your ballots
1. Persons desiring to vote must pro
cure their ballots from a member of the
election board.
3. They must then, without leaving
the polling place, proceed to a compart
ment and prepare their ballots.
3. The ballots are prepared as follows
Make a cross mark (X) with ink in the
right margin of the ballot, opposite the
name of each person for whom you wish
to vote. Be careful that you do not
mark the names of persons for whom
you do not wish to vote.
Do not make any mark on the ballot
ve as above directed, or the ballot will
not be counted.
If you spoil a ballot return it to
member of the election board, and obtain
a new ballot, (you cannot get more than
four in all,) take this to a compartment
and mark it properly.
4. Having marked the ballot, fold it
so as to conceal the names and marks on
the face, and to expose the names on
the back.
5. Take it to the Judge of Election
before leaving the inclosure, and see it
deposited in the box.
6. Immediately leave the railed in
closure.
7. If you wish to vote for any person
whose came does not appear upon the
ballot, write or insert his full name in
the blank space on the ballot under the
proper office you wish him to hold, and
make a cross mark in the proper margin
opposite the name.
8. Do not take any ballot from the
polling place; you thereby forfeit the
right to vote.
The above rules must be strictly ad
hered to or your Vote cannot be counted.

If anv voter doubta tliat Judge Barker
is in tlie field for re-election, lus doubU
will certainly be expelled by reading the
Herald. Walker thought be had Barker
poumledoutof the way, but if Barker
does not receive twenty-five more major
ity than any candidate in the field, we
have a patent leatlier cork, for stopping
ths. which we will donate to
the editor of the Herald.
The slimy, sneaking prevaricator of
the Herald is at his old triuks again. He
tries to shift the carelessness of the for
mer administration of the couoty treas
urer's office upon f he present administra
tion. He knows as well ss others that
Messrs. Ashenfelter, Schaller, Worm and
Jurtrens left Sioux county with their
personal property before the present
treasurer had charge of the books. He
tries to niake it appear that the treas
urer would rather persecute widows and
orphans tlian to make able-bodied men
pay their taxes. He knows that Mr.
Gayhart is honorable and just in his deal
ings with the tax-payers, but lie adheres
to his doctrine of slinsrinc enough mud
so that Borne of it will stick.

The parties who are interested in the
money belonging to the Cottonwood
school district about which theflferoM
and its Ind.-Demo.-Rep. strikers are mak
ing a fuss are satisfied that everything
about the transaction was Honorable as
far as the treasurer is concerned. There
was no loss to any person1, and there is
nothing to explain about matter only
that the Herald is at a loss to find any
thing to accuse the treasurer of that
will demand tbe attention of any sen
sible voter.
The forming of political schemes is
one thing to carry them out success
fully is another. The Walker-Satterlee-Hough-McOinley
outfit set out early to
divide, what they are 'pleased to term,
tbe mud-ring vote. They made extra
ordinary efforts to induce good men, who
were opposed to their manner of running
things, generally, to accept nominations
for office. They failed in that respect to
a certain extent, but they managed to
cause four tickets to . be placed in the
field, thinking thereby to accomplish the
object above mentioned. It may be a
surprise to tbe gang, bat it is a fact,
nevertheless, that tbe dose they had pre
pared for their opponents has to be swal
lowed by themselves, and, as is gener
ally the fact in such cases, it is making
tbem sick. They are not only sick, but
they are mad, and "Whom tbe Gods
would destroy they first make mad."

The Walker-Satterlee-Hough-McGinley
outfit are rattled they are on the run.
They not only htul one little meeting to
decide who are to k the "straw" men,
but they have had :.evermL They cannot
agree there are too many vrould-bs
leaders. There are to be more meetings
and if tbey cannot decide soon as t who
Is to be slaughtered, there will be fun,
fur and feathers in the air. The candi
dates are chawing their bits and want to
start, yet tbey want to know who their
friends are. The straight republican
racket is a sreat farce. The straight1
democratic racket is a greater farce.
Tet each of the candidates nave
some friends, and tbe deception business
has been carried about as far as will be
tolerated. The republican candidate
with the democratic deputy running for
the purpose of dividing the vote in the
northern precincts Ys loo thin to waw
well. If this was the first election in
Sioux county such little schemes might
work successfully, but the voters are not
to be duped that way.
V
We wonder how the political sharks.
Satterlee and Walker succeed in holding
appointments with the numerous candi
dates of their three tickets without rep
resentatives of different tickets coming
together on the same day in their mus
eum of curiosities. For instance. Mr.
Burke will happen in town on Monday
and spend the day in cousultation with
tbem, and is sent away with the 1mirea-
sion that be is the man of destiny this
year. Uo tbe next day the boy candi
date arrives, "our own Dan Publow, the
man whom we brought tf ore the peo
ple out of our own fertile bra'ib and for
purposes only known to ourselves," It
takes a great deal less to convince Dan
that be is pecul&rly selected for the posi
tion and will have the support of every
body, than it does Burke, as the latter
gentleman is a man of maturer vears
and vastly ihb .'political experience
tnan his opponent of Cottonwood. Thea
on a day different from both of the
others appears Mike, but it takes nothing
