Kearly one half of whom were fatally in jured and a large number seriously wounded. The cause of the explosion pannot be ascertained. i ilje Valentine Gazette has become tirxd of the independent business and hits changed hands and is now the Democratic Blade, It is a noticeable fact tltat a number of Hie independent papers of this state have either susjended publication or "gone democratic," as they had but a little way to go. Emperor Willi i m, of fiermary, lu s. ot-l tl iimiv itl a law to le-. e " -- - - j r-- - .1ninkf.nnws.-5 in that Country. Tile bill gives the jiolioe a good deal of authority uud allows the entrance of onicials int tlie lwivate life of citizens and opens ihe way for a hord of informers and Mack- mailers. The jenaHies are very severe upon drunkards and keejrs of drinking houses. Adams county is reorted to be dis-i-iwtwl witii die sunervis.tr system and wants to return to the commissioner sy tern airain. It costs tlie county ffjW) for each day's session of th$ bo;rd and otlier exiienses are lusher. If the next legisla ture lias tlie interests cf the people at heart it will repeal the township organi zation law. or amend it so that there will be nothing left of the present law except the title. Chili has decided to avoid a whipping at the hands of Uncle San) and has as sumed a very concilatory manner. There appears to be no occasion for any mili tary move in the nattec If the differ ence can be adjusted peaceably it will be pause fpr a good tjeal of satisfaction and .will sieak well for the ability of the ad ministration. The call for a sugar beet convention at fjrwforj which appears in another col umn of this issue should have the atten tion of all. The date fixed for the con vention is next Saturday, Jan. 16th, and a good attendance is anticipated. The fact tliat anyone going from here would ha pbliged to remain there over Sunday will likely deter some from attending who are interested it) the matter. -4 Hmall-sized war has been raging for some time ip southwestern Kansas and a Dumber have been killed and state troops jhave beeq called, out to preserve order. It is the outgrowth of a county seat fight The governor has been asked to pall the legislature together ief' secial session for the purpose of disorganizing the counties where the trouble exists, but it is not expected that a special ses sion will be called. The annual accounting and settling up has unearthed a number of cases where those who have been handling tlie funds of others are short in their accounts. C. X. Paul, who lias beeu treasurer of Adams county for four years, is found to be about 50,000 behind and he and his deputy have been arrested for embezzle ment Mr. Vaui has always been con sidered a straight, honest man and so large a shortage is a shock to his friends. He lias not pro)erty enough to make good the amount and the men on his bond will have to make up the defici ency. The sugar beet committee ofOhadron liave contracts signed for the raising of over 1,500 acres of sugar beets next sea son and the work still goes on. The in dications are that the necessary con tracts for 5,000 acres of beets will be se cured nnd if that is done Chailron will liave a factory ready to convert the beets into sugar by the time tlie crop matures. The farmers of this locality should prepare to co-operate with those near C'hadron nnd help nmke the matter a success, the location ol a sugar fac tory at Chadron means renewed prosper ity to northwest Nebraska and that is what our farmers want. Of course, a factory at Harrison would be better, hut if that cannot be secured, one at Chad ron would make a. market within reach of our farmers as a low rate would with out doubt be made by the F. E. & 51. V. for the transportation of the leets to the factory. . The leading editorial of the last issue pf the Rushville Sim is: "This newspaper pjant for sae." The same thing is true pf number of superfluous papers in Ne braska and several have quietly shut up shop without trying to unload on some pne else, while others have found some aspiring individual to assume the respon sibility. There is likely to be finite a thinning out in the list of newspapers in t-liis state within tlie next few years. Senator. Pefl'er has introduced a bill to authorize the issuing of treasury notes to the amount pf 10Q,000,000 to be loaned to the people of Indiana qa mort gages on their lands. It was generally supposed from the statements of Peffer, Jerry Simpson and others, that their state, Kansas, was most in need of gov ernment loans, but it appears that Pefl'er wants to try the experiment on the peo ple of some other state. Tlie educational souvenir of Lincoln, issued by the State Journal i one of the finest things that have come to our office and shown up the educational ad vantages of that city in good shape and proves that Nebraska now offers as good educational advantages as any state. The schools of Nebraska have peached a stage of perfection which makes it unnecessary for anyone to go outside its borders to seek institutions of learning. In the matter of sending corn to the starving Russians, tlie corn was con tributed and the railroad agreed to trans port it to the seaboard and an effort was made to have congress appropriate the transportation across trie ocean. This was defeated by tlie democrats in the House, Congressman Bryan of the first district of Nebraska making a speech op posing such appropriation, claiming that last year congress had no authority to assist Nebraska. It is believed that the action of the democrats in the matter will tend to weaken that party in Ne braska where there are a great many Russians who have been democrats and who contributed to tlie corn shipment An old negro called upon two physi cians on New Year's day at Humboldt, Neb., to come and attend his boy whoJ was sick, but both declined and the boy died. Tlien the men who dug the grave declined to wait until tlie time appointed by a minister to hold a service and in sisted on burying the body as soon as the grave was dug. It seems almost beyond beleif that such acta should occur in a civilised community and the physicians who acted to heartless a manner would be made to feel that they are not worthy to practice their profemioa. VkNt m bangs out bis shingle offer- tatfon question Sound Sense. Now that the campaign is over, it lie hooves every farmer and citizen to turn to the rate (juestien as it is in this state, and study jt out and know something about it, so that the voter at next fall's election may have a more clear and just conception of the facts and the justice in the case than can be had by simply list ening to ambitious office seekers who present only one side of the case. The board of transportation has made a state ment of the question in Nebraska that is worthy a careful reading by every man who wants to be fair to the railroads as well as to the people. Orators and am bit ious office seekers have presented the anti-railroad side of the tjuestion indus triously for years. The state board in their recent report on rates have pre sented their view of the case, and the people who want to know the truth, ought to read this report carefully, so that they may judge the matter fairly and justly. The independent party in this state never can hope to command the respect of thinking men, and honest men, so long as they refuse to read both sides of every public issue. We do not say that present rates in Nebraska should remain uncuangeu, una that the report of the secretaries is an infalliable state nient or the case, but we do say that there has been too much demagoguery practiced on this question and too much one-siaeaness in tlie discussion of the Issue. Therefore we recommend that every farmer procure ft copy of the re port and read it from an honest and un prejudiced standjioint. It is certainly the fullest and plainest statement ever made to the people, and the officials who made it ought to liave credit for having given a reason for tlieir actions. Hamil ton County Independent. The above is the most sensible sugges tion ever made by the independent press of this state. If there has been one thing more than another tliat lias damned the new party in the esteem of the thinking people, it is that jealousy with which the leaders have attempted to prevent their followers from rending both sides. It will stand to the eternal disgrace of these leaders tliat they not only advised and commanded their fol lowers from reading the other side, but they actually, boasted of tlieir power in this respect. "It don't make any differ ence wliat you fellers say or what you print, or whether it is true or not, our fellers won't read it, and they wont be heve it if they do read it", was a remark common among the leaders of the inde pendent party. God 'pity a political party whote proudest boast is tliat it followers will not read or listen to argu ment. But the scene is changing. They do read both sides now, and they begin to see. Every farmer who reads the report above referred to, will see tin transpor- in a new and clearer It M-cius vrry tlis ;Vv' cause Bia ne v. ill it gel m.."i.. ly ili- Sioux County Lumber Co. ; l N'o le.-:v,. jet in the TUyw-BovJ Ci-e. : has w.l jet lueii dis covered.

Nebraska may well blush for (he ac tion of tlie three men who were sent to congress to represent the state iu the matter of sending corn to starving Rus sia. All of them voted against the gov ernment transpoitmg the grain across the ocean, after the icople of their state had contributed the coru and the rail roads had agreeil to tuLe it to tlie sea board without expense.
