Sioux county lias lieeu ijuite fortunate in tliis resjieet so far. Tlie reports from many parts of the state are tiiat the small grain crop was not as good as was exjiex ted. mucliuf tlie straw bein too short to permit binding. Sioux county shows up better than that. Kiorts from the south and eastern past of the state are that rain is needed liadly and parties at Lincoln have ar ranged with some of the rainmakers to u their ellorts to jroduce moisture. Since the experience of 1110 the people all over the state seem to fear a drouth. Geo. L. Meikleiohn has been nom inated in the third district as the republi" can candidate for congress. Hiat is what should have been done in the third district two years ago. Had ho been the nominee in lS'jO Kern would not have had a chance to draw .",0oO a year to help cripple the world's fair. The congressional matter does not ap pear to be as near settled in the big sixth as it was supposed to be for a while. It is stated that at the convention James Whitehead, F. M. Dorrington, V. H. Stone and JI. P. Kinkaid will contest for the republican nomination and it may be that others will shy their castors into the ring. The court has decided that the cattle baron murderers of Wyoming are to be tried at Cheyenne. That is fonsidered as in favor of the raiders for trial will take place right among their friends. It looks very much as if the gang of invad ers stood in with the ollicials and it is quite likely that the wrath of the people will fall on those who have lent their odieiul influence to assist the law-breakers. The signs of the times indicate that the legislative nominees of the republi can party in the northwest will be W. W. Wood for senator and L. A. Brower of Chadron for representative. Both are known to be men of standing, ability and integrity and will add strength to the ticket, and if care is used and the ticket made up of such men there will be no question as to the success of the party at the polls'. Another little piece of independent consistency is noticeable these days. The independent state conventions pass strong resolutions denouncing both of the old parties in unmeasured terms, and straightway enter into a fusion with democracy. Titefte tilings only go to prove the fact that this alliance party is simply a cat's paw of the bourbon party to wrest a few western states out of the republican colunin.-Broken Bow Leader. Arrangements have teen made by a company of capitalists to manufacture alcohol from West Indies molasses. The cost is small and the profits enormous. The molasses is admitted free of duty in its crude state and hence it will be used for making alcohol in place of the west ern grain which has been used in the past. Congress would be working in the Interest of the great west if it would put a good, high' tariff on the crude molasses. A democratic exchange speaks of tlie "clean administration'' of Grover Cleve land. What! Is Attorney General Gar land's connection with the Pan-Electric scandal so soon forgotten? Is the scoun drelism of Cleveland's Land Commis sioner, in ousting homesteaders to grati fy a railroad corporation passed into forgetfulness? It is not wisdom for our democratic friends to invite a stirring up of the scandals and corruption of Cleveland's term. Tokdo Blade. . The house of representatives voted a few days ago to close tlie "world's fair on Sundays. That vas probably done to help out the saloon keepers of Chicago and make it as unpleasant as possible for those who visit the fair. ' The House also defeated the appropriation forth fairjis passed, by - the senate. Bryan, McKeighan and kern - voted against tlie appropriation. They may have thought to make a few votes by such a course, but in .this they will quite likely be dis appointed. The people of Nebraska want the fair to be a success and such narrow-mjnded action . on the part of tbecpngressmen will not meet witb( approval, MOUX (OlMV.s sit(K 1Mb-TKV.

CHAillMAN, LAPLEs AM) GENTU man: A duty has been placed iijk.h my shoulders tliat I am totally uuaMe to give an iota of the justice and prominence it deserves, before your honorable body. It is a (iiiestion of vital i!iiiortance to every individual that is identified with the agricultur.il pursuits of our section of the North west, for it is one branch of that indus try that must be connected with the raising of grain to make it profitaHc with any degree of certainty. S.mi.c dozen years ago, when I settled . " White river, a steer could beprodu-cd on the range and delivered in Cbk-:i;: for fT.oO at a profit. I got this infor mation from one of the largest sto. k raisers in this section of the county at that time. Ordinary steers at thai time brought from -f-iO to f 33 per head. So you cau imagine the enormous pn l 's tin re were in the stoc k business a do:'.eti years ago. When at lilietty to roam over our beautiful prairies and valleys and fatten on the luxuri.ud natural grasses the per centage of loss was very small during the time they had to live on snow and air, and the cattle barons grew rich. But the question we wish analyzed is how we can make the business prov able at the present time. My huiuUc opinion can lie summed up in a k-'A words. Necessarily the herds must k small as the choice available land i taken up by r.ctual settlers. To make up for numbers we must make it an object to produce a better article. For instance, the horse. The broncho ha filled the place as a servicableaiiiui.il to man and he must be sujajreeded by something that will meet the presujl requirements. And one breeder on a small seals can not diversify his several kinds to suit the wants of the public or private buyers. Consequently it is of vital importance that we should get rid of our inferior horses as fast ns possible and replace them with the best we can possibly afford. Although I am no lover of this piano-legged horse of Euroc, if the market demands a horse of that class and if a man is situated to raise the heavy draft horse, I beg of him to use very best sires that can be procured. II the fee for a grade .scrub is ten dollars, and double that amount for a really good horse, choose the latter and it will prove the cheaper investment in the end. One very essential point is to use judg ment in regard to breeding. It is well to have the general build, style ami ac tion of sire and dam similar. In such case the get will be sure to fill yci.r ex pectations. Before I l.:ave this subject I beg of you not to work the mare to death while she is suckling the foal, and don't starve it to death with a desert of freezing the first waited and the wonder why it looks so bad. Give it good shel ter, hay and oats. Handle it gently but firmly and you will be rewarded for your time and trouble. It is just the same with every class of horses. If you desire to raise line carri age horses, use every menus to raise Que large, stylish animals that can trot ten to twelve miles an hour, and you will find buyers. It is the same with horses for the track runners, trotters or pacers. Use every mean s to excel. Produce the best. We have the grass, climate, water and soil to do it. Let us put shoulder lo shoulder and help one another, and victory will perch on our banner and an honest reward is within our grasp. The situation is just the same on the breeding of cattle. If you are breeding for beef, use sires that are known to be of the breeds that produce that fine marbled beef that demands the highest price in the market. Get rid of your scrub cows as fast as you can. Keep your best grade heifer calves and grade up until you cau, if possible, have the very be.;t. One thing I wish to call your atten tion to. You can not possibly raise a fine, large calf by knocking it in the head with a cb'iirn dash. Push it, feed and shelter, so that if it is for the butcher's block it will fill the bill at three years of age. If ybu have to keep it until it is four or Ave years old, you are simply keeping it at a loss. As I am only tiring your patience, and not having touched on the subject of sheep or hogs. I w ill simply say, that from actual experience in Sioux county, sheep are the most profitable animals for the farmer or ranchman. But they require a greater amount of care and patience to have suc'-Dossful re turns. In the raising of hogs I have had fit-tie experience. I do not believe his hogship is as profitable an animal as the horse, cow or sheep in our section of the country, but I firmly believe if we can not raise him profitably for the market we can do so for home consumption, as there i9 always a great amount cf grain and fodder on the farm that would be totally lost if his hogship was not around to Utilize it. . i i , ...I,! -ii -i neatly liuiocst. -.d has a popuu.. , . ,,, ,,v..i- ') iki" are men ' ' ' - mm. of v b'.-tii ou . ,1 vears ...J: yet nth.

The Homestead strike troubles do not appear to be any nearer a seUk-iiiciit tha.ith.-vv. ere a week ago. A nu.i.-c .f rw.n-ncb.n men have lm employe. but not enough to operate near all the works. On last Sat unlay u :'''l' was made by a man by the name (d i:..ikni:ui. a Kits-mn J"w, to kill II. C. Flick, the chairman of the Carnegie steel company. The would-lie assign is -in anarchist arid went from New Y.irk to oei-fonn the act. Prick was struck bv two bullets and revived four ugly gashes from a (lugger, but will re cover. The man was arrested and at tempted to blow his own head oil with dynamite. He is not !- ol the former employes of the steel company but look the action he did out of pure cusscilucss. The workmen at other mills of the steel company have gone out on a strike. simply on acrouut of sympathy with those at Homestead, jiotu ithstaii'liiig that tliev had contracted for a year yet to eiiiiie. Of all" the foolish acts of or- vmnized labor that appears the worst. V.'hv a lot of men who are satisheil witli their position and wages ami have con tractu! to work a ceitan length ol tune should break their contract, throw down their tools and iro on a strike simply be cause a misunderstanding has arisen be tween the laborers and employers at a factory miles away cannot lie deter- minefcd. Another bad feature is the attempts made by the strikers to prevent other men from going to work in tlwir places. There is no law to compel them to work if they do not want to, but they have no right to ray that oilier men shall not work if they so desire.
