" Wm. Kingen, of Gerinjr, Neb., who
had been found guilty of sUalitig, and
Miller, the boy murderer, who escaped
fiom jail at Cheyenne, Wyo., a few aays
ago have been found. The former htid
died from exposure and tlie latter liad
suffered so much from cold and exliaus
tion that he will likely die.
pishop W. Perkins has been named by
the governor of Kansas as successor to

Pending the decision of the Thayer

The reports are that Chili is not so
anxious to have a passage at arms with

The county board of Custer county-
has employed A. G. Brugh to make an

and those with whom he will come in
contact will find him a pleasant gentleman.
The clipping from the Chadron Citizen
jjfiic Jears in another column of this
issue in regard to Rainmaker Melbourne's
correspondence with the county clerk of
Etewes county is of a great deal of inter
est to the people of this locality. If
Melbourne desires to operate in this sec
tion p( (ho country gioux county should
join hands with her neighbor on the east
and make the matter a sure go. All
admit that in the seasons when the small
est amount of moisture has fallen there
has always been plenty in the atmosphere
above and all that was needed was to
pull the ngbt string to precipitate it. It
appears that Melbpurje has got hold of
the right string and he should be induced
to come here if necessary and pull it
then is trouble in Wyoming, South
Dakota and Oklahoma, between stock
owners and cattle thieves and a number
of lives have been lost already and the
end is not yet Under the range system
ft seems to be very hard to convict any
one of stealing cattle or branding those
whjch dp not belong to them or altering
tlji brand vf others and the result in
tia acts of violence are resorted to. 11
is. just as bad to appropriate an animal
belonging to another although railed
away from the home of its owner on the
grange, so long as the law or custom per
mits them to roam, as it is to go to the
barn of a neighbor and take his horse and
it is quite likely that the courts would
be aHfted to, settl such cases if the
necessary evidence wa not so hard to
get But the way of the, transgresser is
hard and cattle thieves vrilj find a rocky
road to travel for all law-abiding citizens
will refuse to countenance such acts.
. ifcbfaata cap become the beet sugar
producing center of the world. She
pan do this only by getting our farmers
to raise beets, on a scule that will war
rant the putting in of factories. The
farmers will raise beets only when, beets
culture will prove remunerative beyond
ptber crops, requiring Jess, care. We
believe this latter primal requsite is
met by the carrying out of the resolu
tion of the recent Beet Sugar Convention
at Lincoln, demanding the enactnemt of
a law providing for a state bounty of
f t.OO per tqq tQ the farmers for all beets
raised and a half cent a pound to the
manufacturer for all sugar manufac
tured,' the manufacturers bounty pay
able only on condition that he pay the
farmer a certain price p r ton for beets
according to the per ceitt of sugar con
tained, this price being Used and on a
graduated scale from $4,50 to $7.00 per
ton, aocordicgto the sugar qualities of
the beet. If such a wholesome law be
pasted it will settle this question and
Nebraska, sugar will soon be sweetening
our entire nation. Brokes Bow Leader.
A man by the name of John T. Chap
man, of Chadron, was fined f 100 and
oosta and sentenced to thrte months im
pHsooroent in the United States court at
, Omaha a few days ago for perjuring
himself in helping a neighbor to make
final proof on a piece of land. Before he
has completed his term in prison be will
come to the conclusion that he waa very
foolish. If the United States authorities
tart in to prosecuting all who are guilty
of making false statements in final proof
matters it will be necessary to provide
mora courts with jurisdiction in such
cuts, It is singular what chances men
will take to obtain title to a piece of land
in a homestead country, lltn whose
word is as good as gold in a butim
transaction and who art considered men
of honor will warp the truth all out of
Una In testimony regarding final proof.

The recommendation of Postmaster
General Wanaraaker to have postal sav
ings banks, postal telegraph and postal
telephone appears to be meeting with
general favor. With government owner
ship of all those and also of the railroads,
unless the present laws "are changed,
would give an administration an amount
of patronage decidedly dangerous.
The county clerk is in receipt of
letter from Frank Melbourne, the rain
producer, asking for information as to
the number of acres under cultivation
in this couuty, and stating tliat he would
be willing to enter into a conditional con
tract to furnish rein for fJnwes county
for the season of 1892. lie asks the co

Citizen.
A good deal of excitement has been
caused in the state during the past few
days by tlie report that the United
States supreme court had decided the
Thaver-Bovd case in favor of the latter.
-1
It was claimed that the decision would
be handed down on Monday, but is was
not and it is now claimed that the court
is withholding the decision until it finds
out who gave out the news, and while it
appears to be authentic, many refuse to
believe it to be true. It is quite likely
that the decision will be handed down be
fore long, but in the meantime Gov.
Thayer will still hold the fort.
The Rushville Standard notes the re
turn of W. H. Westover from Blair
where he had taken a course of Keeley
treatment and states that the gentleman
has lost all desire for "tangle-foot"
Such things are a source of pleasure to
note. There is many a man possessed of
good ability whose good nature causes
him to allow himself to become addicted
to drinking. All regret to see him, de
gree by degree, lose control of himself
and he is pitied by his friends. Some
times he simply becomes a steady drinker
who would scorn the idea of getting
drunk and again he may get on sprees
and barely escape committing some ter
rible crime. He may desire to stop
drinking, but his will-power is not
strong enough to overcome the appetite
he has acquired. It is just here that the
Keeley cure steps in and affords him the
opportunity to break loose. So long as
a man can drir.k or let it alone and con
trols himself so that he does not drink to
excess it is his own business, but when
he gets crazy drunk and endangers his
life as well as that of others, it would be
in the interest of the general welfare if
be was induced to resort to the Keeley
cure.
Sheepskins do not Make the Men.
R. L. Metcstlf, the Washington corres
pondent of the World-Herald, sends some
decidedly interesting articles to hat pa
per regarding matters and men at the
national capital. A few days ago a sum
mary of the schooling advantages of the
men composing the present congress, of
which Metcalf was the compiler, was
published and which affords food for
thought Of the eighty-eight senators
but forty-one are college graduates, and
out of three hundred and twenty-five
members of the lower house there are
but eighty-five who lay c)ajm to being
college-bred men. There is a great deal
of agitation among parent;; in regard to
the education of their children, and the
general opinion is that a college educa
tion is necessary to fit them for public
life, but the facts above stated go far to
dispel such an illusion. Nor do the men
with simply a common -echoql education
stop after being elected but they get to
the front, which fact the following ex
tract from Metcalfs communication
proves;
"This showing, while not detracting
from the luster of thtfcolleires of Ameri
ca, serves to afford new reminders that
the greatest government of the earth is
supported by public schools which can
turn out men nt to guide the destines of
a nation.
College bred men will pardon a com
parison, which, in this instance, is interesting.
The senators and representatives of
this congress who have gone highest in
public honors are "public school crudu.
tea."
There are Palmer, the lamented Plumh.
Carlisle, Gorman, Sherman, George,
Paddock, Manderson, Turpie, Chandler
and Sawyer in the senate. There are
Bland, Speaker Crisp, Amos Cummings,
McMillin, Roger Q. Mills, Outhwaite and
a host of others in either branch of con
gress all to be numbered among the
mighty alumni of the American public
school.
None of these carry concealed about
their parson a blue ribboned certificate
indicating that, having paid their fare,
tbey have been filled to the brim with
knowledge, but all of them cherish ten
der memories of the little red school
bouse which tbey have come to know as
the bulwark of American liberty and tlie
sure foundation of American greatness.
In the presence of such names as Sher
man and Plumb of one party, and Palm
ar, Carlisle and Gorman of another, it is
interesting to remember that Tom Seed
of the republicans and Calvin Briceof
the democrats were college graduates.
These companions, while perhaps odious
to the man who takes earnest pride in bit
college, ttrvt to instill within the mil
lions of public school graduates of
America gratitude for the poets trut i
that:
'It Is not Mrth, nor rank, no state,
Bat gu n am git tbataaskee men great.' "
