Hail lias danmyMl crojis in many
parts of the state, in some plac-es totally
uVstroyiiiit all tlie stnndini; gntin. 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,

Mil. 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. .

The reports show that the railroads
represent one-third of the wealth of the
world. That being the cose they must
furnish employment to more people than
any other line of . business. The great
lines of railroad which cross the country,
connecting distant localities by bands of
steel are the wonder of the ago and at

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.
