i The reports from the east indicate that
there will be a greater1 demand for farm
i lands this year than has been known for
1 a good while. Those who, have been
1 paying high rent in the east are learning

turning to the cheap lands of the west
with a view to getting' a.afm of their

Governor Buchanan, of Tennessee.
was hung in effigy at Memphis last week
because he commuted the sentence of
Colonel II. Clay King from hanging to
life imprisonment. The crime was a
cold-blooded, deliberate murder, and the
jieople feel very indignant over the
action of the governor as the case liad
been passed on bv the highest courts of
the state.
Last week marked an epoch iu the his
tory of our sister city of t'hadron. The
republican congressional convention, the
first meeting of the Black Hills racing
ciacuit and a series of base tail games
were all in progress t the same time
and the great crowd in attendance were
well taken care of bv the hotels of the
place. The Hotel Blaine was the politi
cal headquarters and the hundreds in at
tendance were loud in their praise of the
entertainment accorded them. The
electric light system which has just been
put in is working nicely and gives the
city quite a metropolitan appearance.
Chadron and northwest Nebraska won
manv friends among the visitors.
It is found that J. G. Tate, the repub
lican nominee for lieutenant-governor
did not lake out his second or naturaliza
tion papers until early in 1891 and hence
will not have been naturalized two 3'ears
prior to his election. The case is similar
to that of Gov. Boyd. It is true tlie
latter is filling the office of chief execu
tive, but the point has never been de
cided by the courts and the republican
party would not show very good faith
by putting up a man about whose eligi
bility there was a doubt or question. It
is quite likely that Sir. Tate will w ith
draw from the ticket and the place be
filled by the state central committee.
Mr. Tate is one of the most thorough
Americans in the state and for years has
been an earnest worker for the principles
of the republican party and it fs to be re
gretted that there is a question as to his
being eligible. He took out his fjrst;
paieis in 1879 and neglected to coniplete
his citizenship until the Boyd case came
up. He will do lots of good work for the
party either on or oil' the ticket. To
fill his place several are talked of,
among thenl being Tom. Majors, the
present. incumbent. At the convention
at Chadron last week a good many ex
pressed bentselves' ?&' favor of putting
the name of M. A. Dougherty of Ogalal
la on the ticket in place of Tate, as a
recognition of the western part of the
state.
The last issue of Walker and Hough's
organ, the Herald, proceeds to read the
editor of The Journal out of the
republican party because this paper does
: not see' fit to' .support the Walker and
Hough candidate or county commis
sioner. Tliat has lieen the poficy of
those A'ho have controlled tlie Herald
for some years past. Walker and Hough
and those they control do not want any
one in the republican party only those
who wiU bow down to their sweet will.
They have conducted' matters oft that
plan until t'fiey have got the republican
party in Sioux county in as bad shape as
.they count. Ifot content wiUi that E.
G. Hough who runs the postofflce at
Harrison in the interest of nis pets and
to down those who do not stand in with
him is seeking to extend his work of dis
aster and is trying to get the republican
nomination for represetjta'tive.' All over
the state the republican leaders have
been trying to get the party in shape and
.to put tip men who would add strength
to the tic-Set by virtue of their penal
merits, but this man Hough, notwith
standing the fact that the republican
party lias been furnishing him a living
for years, goes to work to do an that he
can to get the party into disrepute. As
to the candidate for commissioner he
was put up by the Walker-Hough con
vention and the history of those men
shows that they give nothing except to
their kind of people. It is a pretty good
rule to judge a man by the company he
keeps. A pretty way for a man who is
in honor bound to do all he can to help
the party which gives him a living, is to
pursue a course which cannot but bring
the party into disrepute. Walker for
county attorney , Hough a candidate for
the legislature and a man controlled by
them for county commissioner shows the
reason for the pernicious activity of
Hough and Walker. They have no use
for the recublican nartv excent for the
spoihj tfaffosf have, no use for an? one
in that party except those who will bow
down before them. To put a man with
such a reputation as that ponewed by
Walker up ajAdj aslt people to vote for
him is an insnlt to the voters and to at
tempt to foist a man who will prostitute
a federal office to carry his ends as
Hough has done upon the party as a
candidate, for. the legislature. is adding
iosult'to insult. The Herald knows this
nod in lending iU aid to uvt&.ttbemes

PVt of Ut pifV.

Tlie democratic state convention is
called to meet at Lincoln on Tuesday.
August 30th. The representation will
be based on tlie vote cast forSprague
two years ago.
Hon. Frank Mondell, mayor of Ken -castle,
and Judge Fall, editor of the
Xeict. of that city, passed through Har
rison last Friday on their way to Cay
enne. They stated tliat every indication
pointed to a republican victory in Wy
oming this fall, both for the state ami
national ticket.
A peculiar cast occurred at Fairnio-.it
last week. Two girls by the name of
Shultz were thrown from a buggy by a
runaway horse and although slightly in
jured appeared to be in good spirits aiid
chatted gaily for a time, but a short
while after they were taken home butli
fell ill and shortly after died. It de
veloped later that they had taken poison,
and the evidence indicated that the act
had been contemplattd for some time.
Tlie repuplicau congressional conveti
tionofthe sixth district was a notable
gathering. The selection of Whitehead
was the outcome of deliberation for tlie
best interests of the iu-ty and the way
it was accomplished left no sores to be
healed, Capt. Dorrington received a
good vote, better than his friends ex
pected and V. H. Stone expressed him
self as complimented by the vote given
to him. Judge Kinkuid was urged by a
number of his friends to allow his name
to be used, but he held to his statement
of some months ago and refused to
allow his name to come liefore the con
vention aud as a consequence holds tlie
same position jn the estimation of the
people that he did liefore. James
Whitehead,- the nomineej combines all
the elements of strength which could lie
found combined in any one man. He is
a farmer, having homesteaded iu Custer
county aud still has his homestead farm:
he is clean, able and earnest and has
been tried and found to always be on the
side of the farmer and laborer, He
served as a private during the rebellion
and is a private still and does not parade
himself as ari officer. He is a ready and
able speaker who has the courage of liis
convictions aud a recoid which ho man
can truthfully- assail and when he goes
to Washington to represent the big sixth
district he will do so with an ability and
dignity which will reflect credit on tlie
people of his district.
Of all the foolish things published in
the papers of northwest Nebraska- the
Eushville Hun of the 12th inst. contains
the most senseless article in regard to
the government land and harvest excur
sions. The editor of that paper evident
ly does col know much of the country
n northwest Nebraska for bis statement
that the fertile land is all (alien is false.
Because west of Lis home are tnnd hills
he apparently thinlfs they extend to the
state line. He also says that the obvi
ous object of the cxcuisiou is to bring
prospective purchasers for the railroad
company s land. I hat is a peculiar
statement for a man to make who at
tempts to give information to the public.
If the editor' of the Sun will investigate
the matter he will find that there is no
land owned by the railroad in northwest
Nebraska except that occupied by the
ineandits depots, shops, etc., and the
townsites owned by the company. If
the railroad did own every alternate
section in northwest Nebraska it would
1 the cause of developing the country
much faster than is possible tender the
present circumstances. Tlie harvest ex
cursions are run by a!"l the roads and the
Elkhorn does not misrepresent the op
portunities offered to .settlers along its
line. In Sioux conn'ty alone the are
800,000 acres of free government land, a
large proportion of which is as fine land
as any that is occupied in nortvvest Ne
braska. It is hard to see what object
the Sun has for making the statements
it does, unless it is because it is an alli
ance paper and hopes to score a point by
attacking the railroad, but its statements
are so grossly erroneous that it will fail
of its purpose, and . we are satisfied that
if the editor of the Sun investigates the
;rnattef he win not rejieat the statements
referred to and we should be pleased to
have him come up here and see for him
self. All northwest Nebraska needs to
make it one of the best parts of the state
is more' people to develop the land and
every citizen of the locality should unite
in the effort to induce those who are pay
ing rent on the high priced land of the
east to come west and get a farm of
their own free.
, Winter Wheat friTelirnkft.
Nebraska Fanner.
; We take, pleasure in chronicling the
great succis of winter wheat growing
in Nebraska . Of all the ctopjj that the
.farmers of this state have been growing
there is none tliat has paid better than
winter wheat. The eastern counties
have been growing the Turkey red, and
wiuw ranraw wiai are sown in the fall
for quite ; number of years,' and t.lieJ
have yet tp record the first failure, The
western counties have not been grow inir
... uu recently, and 'o only
a limited extent even then; but what
experience Joey have had is of an en
couraging nature, ,

wheat yields more than spring wheat.
Another reason why wheat should v
sown in the fall, is, tliat the pressure of
work is not so great at tliat time of the
year, and every acre put in tlien guvs
"that much more time to put in a bigger
crop of corn or oats or some other crop
that cannot lie put in in the fall. It
makes a farmer more indendciit of a
backward spring, and every day that lit
is putting in winter wheat is a day
gair.ed for seeding time. liaising winter
wlieat also enables the farmer to cul
tivate mors acres and lskw iii thcni
the same care that he would give to a
smaller acreage if he did not ruisu winter
wlieat. What the future of winter
wheat will be in the northwestern coun
ties is vet at: open question. But
whether they raise large areas of it or
not is not of so much moment. Unause
spring wheat and barley yield so bounti
fully with them thai they tan lw some
what indill'erent as to winter wheal.
But ihe central and eastern counties
cannot afrord to treat this subject
lightly. Their soil and climatic condi
tions are such that large yields and
grains of fine quality fill the bins of him
w ho prepares his ground well and sow s
it to winter wheat. When authentic
rejiorts come in of yields from thirty to
fifty bushels, and when we see this same
wheat graded in Chicago as No, 1 hard,
and weighing sixty -four and one-fourth
pounds to the measured bushel, w hat
more can a man ask? Does he wish a
gold mine to open at his feet from which
he can dig nuggets as large as potatoes?
We believe there is big money in winter
wheat and that many more acres, es
pecially in eastern and southern Nebras
ka should glisten golden with No. 1 ban!
that tops the Chicago market.
Here are a few facts to encourage the
timid. Farmer Yost, who lives between
Sutton and Harvard, put in twenty-six
acres of w inter wheat on land that he
rented at $2 per acre. He has hist
threshed the crops which yielded a little
over forty-one 1,'ishels per arte. At the
present price this will give him the
handsome return of over $'.'0 tier acre.
C. II. Nigh of Saunders county reports
a yield of it? bushels from sixtcc'i acres,
just 44 bushels jr acre. Figure ii out
and see how many dollars the crop
would bring at 60 cents per bushel. An
other Saunders county man, near Wa
hoo, reports a yield of 1,000 bushels
from twenty -six acres.
C. F. Adams, who lives west of Kdgar.
threshed his wheat the last tveelc of July,
getting a yield o? 41 bushels jwr acre.
Wm. Trover, one mile north of Dor
chester, has a heavy crop of Turkey lied
winter wheat. It is not vet threshed,
but last year In, crop of 1 n res aver
aged 80,v bushels and this yerj it h sev
eral bushels 'letter per acre.
Farmer I). Richards of Mdford, Sew
ard county, m.-u red forty-five bushels of
Fultz wheat rrom one and one-eighth
acres. The Fultz wheat is beardless and
Mr. Richards thinks it is ten days earlier
than most varieti-jis.
George Keck, of Buffalo county, after
a trip through the more easterly coun
ties last summer, became thoroughly
convinced that winter wheat would lie a
grand crop for bis county. Accordingly
he purchased the best Turkey lied seed
he could get and put ia 250 acres will, a
press drill. He finished planting Octo-'
ber 10th. and within ten days the wheat
was all up and growing line. It did not i
winterkill the least H is now in1
shock and looks as though it would easi-j
ly yield twice as much as his good crop'
of spring wheat of last .year,' which 1
turned out seventeen busheis.
E. F. Stephens of Crete finished thresh
.ngAugusllsti aQd found tl)athehad
4,300 bushels from less than 100 acres.
The best part of the Held , was carefully
measured and on threshing ii yiek
fifty.-two .biuheU per. acre. He shipped
two car loads of his fiKi threshing to
Chicago and it graded No, 1 hard.
Two Car ln:ntu wu,., .1 . , ,
Sterling that graded No. 1 hard and
tested 64J pounds to the measured
ine cnier inspector said that it
was the finest grain that he had ever
seen,
O. J. King, who went with the adver
tising train last fall, said that tlie people
oi me east were not so much interested
in Nebruskas corn capabilities, they
were not so well posted on that cereal,
but one pf the (Irst questions would be,
jwu raise wr)6fi,t put theref' This
question was as frequently asked as any
other, and the. samriles of l.ta
cially winter wheat, drew a great deal of
iveuuon to lueinselves.
