They are relatives of John Thorns who lives near Montrose. A drive through the cjuutry will demonstrate the fact that an improved das of farming is being done this season ' both by old and new settlers, and the re sult will show that it pays to da good work. Commissioner. Knott ; was. in town yesterday to have piece of steel removed from his eye. He was hammering a plow wlien a particle of the metal flew into his eye and lodged there, beoorniag very painful. v Jr. P. T. Barber, the dentist who was here a. short time ago, is visiting Harrison again this week. Office at Mr. Wright's section house. Call and have your teeth examined. Linly Priddy got hit on the head by a stone thrown by one of his playmates yesterday and received quite a cut. Parents should caution their children nguinst such dangerous play. A. T. Hughson has sold his land to A. W. Olds and has taken a homestead near Andrews. James Clark has sold his place near Montrose to some new comers. It will be seen that real estate is beginning to move and it will soon get a hustle on itself. There are about ten thousand sheep at Andrews and will be sheared there and will be assessed in this county. That will help out on the taxes. The owner of the sheep made inquiry as to the rate of taxes and found them to be much lower than he had expected. The reports from some portions of the east are that it is still dry and windy. The small grain crop in many places will not average more than twenty-flve per cent of what it was last year. In some localities nearly all the winter wheat had to be plowed up. In speaking of those doing mission ary work the Christian Herald, of De troit, Mich., has this to say of one .of Harrisons oldest residents; "Mrs. 8. C. D. Bassett of Nebraska, is also a General Missionary without salary. She is per forming a most important and loving service, and we desire to put on record our appreciation of her work." The village board has appointed J. I. Davis marshal and street commission er and a general cleaning up is called for. ' It i expected that some sidewalk build ing will be done. The walk destroyed by the fir last fall and that to the court hour should be laid if nothing more and oar should be used in putting down walks to put them so toey will be com ' plated and not stop at nowhere as the - H up Main street does now.

Miss Anna Saunders, grand counsel or of the Qood Templars, will lecture at the M E. church on Sunday and Monday evenings. AH are invited to hear her, Ray and Earnest Myers ha ve estab lished a town herd and the annoyance of any one by loose stock wliiph belongs in town is without excusp. -rOn account of the continued wet weather Foss & Eason returned to Chad rop with their phptograph outfit on Sat urday evening. They expect to return after the weather becomes more settled. A pretty good sign of good times is the fact that there is not an idle man in the place, in fact there is not a man who caq be employed to do odd jobs about town, and people are forced to either do such things themselves or let them go undone. A man adapted to such work would find plenty to keep him busy. L. C. Pollard arrived on Tuesday from Cass county to visit his daughter, Mrs. H. T, Conley, and to look over his real estate. He lias acquired title to quite a lot of land in Sioux county and will likely buy more before he goes home, He knows what the increase in tha value of real estate means anil will profit by that knowledge. No move seems to have been made to secure ground for cemetery purposes. Is the matter going to renjain as it is and the remains of those who die be buried where it is known that they will have to be removed? It is time that some one made a start. Why would it not lie well for the ladies to take the matter in hand? O. B. Tinkham was in town the first of the week and informed us that be bad word that a number of people would be up from Nuckolls county in June. Some will drive through and are quite likely on the road now. , At the rate the land is being taken it will not be long until it will be necessary for settlers to take wBatttiey-cjui get rather than just wliat they want . The raildroad men say that more new settlers have come to Sioux county this spring than to any point on the Elk horn road. That shows that people are finding out about this part of the state and what can be had here and are taking advantage of the opportunities. Free land is nearly gone and any who expect to get a quarter section from Uncle Sam must be at it or they will get left, . Correspondence is being had with a party in Lancaster county who contem plate coming here to get homesteads. They have been investigating and think it is the place they have been looking for. It is quite, certaiu that they will find no place where they would be mnde mora welcome and could go to no local ity where homesteads could be had where the prospects for the future are brighter than they are in Sioux county, Those who come here to see the country who have been pioneers in local' ities which wee developed without rail roads or any of the advantages and conveniences which they bring, say that this locality does not seem like a new country, for with the churches, schools, mail service, etc., it is but little differ ent from what is enjoyed in the older settled districts. During the stop made by the east bound train at this place last evening the editor of The Journal had the pleasure of chatting with Henry Morris, an old acquaintance who was one of the pio neer business men of Seward and knows all about life in a new western town. He was returning from a trip to the Pa cific coast and came this way to make a business stop at Rushville. W. J. Maule arrived from Milford, Seward county, on Tuesday morning, leased a section of school land and left for home in the evening. That is the way Sioux county land is being taken and it shows that people have full confi dence in the future of this county. When men of means will lease school lands a title to which cannot be had un til the bare land is appraised at not less than seven dollars an ' acre, it is their judgment that it will not be long until it will reach that value. When a county gets well enough settled so that a county Sunday school convention can be held such as is in sess ion, at this time in Harrison it is high time that the fact was recognized that thisisnota wild and woolly country. People who come here from the east And just as much intelligence and refinement among the people here as they do in any locality. The settlers, as a rule,-do not have much time to devote to putting on style, but that no reason why they do not know how to do w n f.iiey want to. , d-If you notice an unusually bright smile playing about the corners of E. G. Hough's, mouth do nt attribute it to a fancy on his part that he has an extend' ed lease of official life, for it js nothing of the sort. The cause of his happiness is that he leceivid word a few days ago from hill daughter in Oregon that be was grand: father to a pair pf twins. Is it any wonder he smiles? Qn last Friday EIo) E- Kello6C rived from Prairie Farm, Wis., to see the homestead land of Sioux county. He re mained until Monday evening when he started for borne, baying selected a quar? ter section of land which he expects to occupy about the first of next month. It Surprises almost ajl who pome here to find such good land still open to home stead and the free fuel, cheap lumber and low taxes are strong arguments with homeseekers. -rrA car was attached to an extra train which went west last evening in which a number of the officials of tyie road were on a tour of inspection. They deny any intention of extending the line this season and say that it is not the company tbey represent that is doing the surveying west of Casper- It begins to look as if this part of the country would have to get along with the same kind of train service it has now. Wm. T. Jones arrived from Utica, Seward county, on Tuesday and left for home last evening, having selected a fine quarter section of land a few miles south of town on which he began a con test, as it had been filed on some years ago as a timber claim but the party who made tie filing had not complied with the law so an actual settler will be se cured. It does not take any one loug to find a place to suit him if he is in earnest in his desire to get a home. Theie is a row going on between the soldiers at Fort Robinson and some of the people of Crawford, and it is likely to be quite interesting for some of those who have been taking a hand. The fed eral authorities are after some parties for having put the mails to improper use, and suits will likely come up in the local courts. Sioux county is to be con gratulated on the fact that Oawforn is not within its borders, for it would be the uause of a large increase in taxes. Don't In il to keep in mind something for ) ! -i! i ..hibit at the state fair this year as you are putting in your crops, and it may be that a county fair will be ar ranged for. It will cost nothing but a little labor to have something ready and then it can be brought in at the proper time and put into the county exhibit. There is no reason why Sioux county should not have a good chance of win ning the first prise if the proper effort is made and it is none to early to begin preparations for it if the effort is to be made. There appears to be some people in Crawford who make it a point to dis courage people who stop in that town on their way to Sioux county. It is hard to see any object in that kind of work. What is true of the vicinity of Crawford is true of this county, except the quality of some of the inhabitants of- that town, and it is not likely that much is said of them to land seekers. There is no quar rel between the people of this locality and the people of Crawford and what is for the advancement of northwest Ne braska is for the good of both places and a united effort should be mode by all the people of both places to get new settlers to this part of the state, Owing to inadequate appropriations for traveling expenses for the United States Civil Service Commission for the current fiscal year, it has been found necessary to cancel many of the appoint ments for examinations advertised in the schedule for 1803. The examination at Crawford, Neb., advertised for May 18 is one of the examinations canceled. - The candidates-who intended to take exam ination there on that date will have to se lect a later date. After the 80th of June the appropriations for the next fiscal year will be available, and examinations held according to the schedule. The Commission will upon request, furnish candidates with a copy of the schedule and a slip, to enable them to make a new selection. A good many people in this locality will be glad to learn that Dr. F. J. Mor rill, a dentist of Chadron, is here to do any work in his line. He will remain un til Monday evening and anyone wanting dental work done should not fail to call on him. The fact that he is established in business at Chadron and came here at the request of some of our people is a very strong reason why none should hes itate to patronize him. A man who it simply in the locality for a few days has no reputation to protect as he never ex pects to return. Dr. Morrill is a grad uate of the Iowa City dental college and has practiced for seven years, and Har rison people for whom be has done work all speak highly of him. He will not re main here longer than until Monday eve ning. Call at the Harrison House if you need the services of a dentist. E. E.
