Moat of the paople were on tlieir THty to Washington.

Wells, Fargo & Company has practically withdrawn frou Nebraska. 11. H. Russell and J. W. Robinson were in town Saturday and both stated that their sheep were doing finely. There is no kind of stock that will pay the farmers of Sioux county better than sheep, In speaking of of the coroner's the of the verdict jury in the kill- ing near Lusk which was mentioned in these columns last week, the Lusk Her ald said that it was "murder in self defense." That is a new way of putting it. TUB Journal is informed that the old calaboose building is the property of the county and so the town board has no jurisdiction over it. The county com missioners might use the material in it to construct a walk along the lots be longing to the county. That would be better than to leave it where it is. Superintendent Harris read The Journal Friday evening and Saturday morning he issued an order by telegraph instructing conductors not to allow the Main street crossing at this place to be blocked by trains for more than five minutes at any time. The people' living south of the track will appreciate that order. Will Phillips, having completed a house on his homestead, left for Seward county on Saturday evening. He in tended to stay here until harvest, but the wheat he had put in down there got dried out so badly that it had to be plowed up and the ground planted to corn and he had to go back and culti vate the coi n. W. L. Baldwin left for his home at Utica on Thursday evening. He will re turn in the near future for be put a bortieetaod filing on a tine quarter sec tion of land a few miles south of town and will soon become a .resident. His step-son, W. T. Jones, who was here a few weeks ago will be here in a week or so to live. All will be made welcome;. f Tuesday was Decoration Day. The observance of the day here were the ex ercises by the school in the morning. An effort should be made in future to have fitting observation of the day made. Of all the days of the year there is not one whose mission is of more im portance to the nation than the one set apart to commemorate the patriotism of those who offered their lives to perpet uate the nation. A soon as the school district gets the money from G. Guthrie which the district court has ordered him to pay over to the board, a part of it may be taken and the bonds paid off and the taxpayers will have no more interest to pay. With the bonds paid off and some money in the treasury at the end of the school year the district will be in excel lent shape to make plans for the future. A progressive policy should be adopted, as good schools do much to help build up a town. It seems tliat there was more in the scheme which was so nicely worked at the last village election than appeared at the time. The applicant for a saloon license paid his $500 to Q. Guthrie, whom the village board had appointed village treasurer and his license was granted as asked, for. Under the con stitution of Nebraska & such license money goes into the school fund and the school board called on the village treas urer for the amouqt- Mr. Guthrie re fused to turn the money over and an application was made in the district court for a writ of mandamus to. compel him to do so.. An alternative writ was issued, citing Mr. Guthrie to appear at Chadron pn May 31st to show cause why said writ should not be made pre-emp tory. He did so by his attorney but the court did not see any reasonable defense lis Bet up and t'18 Writ was, made pre einptory as prayed for and the funds Will have to be turned over to the school board as they should have been, It is Very nice to have such little schemes worked, Mr. Guthrie will have his at torney and the court costs to pay for the fun he got out pf it and the taxpayers of the school district will have tv pay the post of an attorney for eonduvlinjr the suit to collect what was its pwn. It looks very much as if the whole matter Was a conspiracy concocted by the prime movers in the village election scheme, it is hard to tell what may yet develop as th mult of th word of th littb riwf ofeiiUpopIt, PERSONAL.

All the new settlers and many of the older residents are turning over the sod so that the acreage next year will be greatly increas ed over what has ever been known in Sioux county. That means prosperity to all. The B. & M. ran an excursion to Sheridan, Wyo., last week, the fare from Lincolivfor the round trip, having been $10. A great many people took advan tade of the opportunity to visit that place. Why could not' the Elkhoiw be induced to snake an excursion rate to the northwest part of Nebraska? A low rate of fare from the eastern part of the state to this part, where homesteads and cheap farms can be had, if well adveiv tised, would attract a large number of home-seekers and many new settlers would be secured to help develop this part of the state. If a good strong ef fort was made such an excursion might be arranged for. Worlds Fair Rates. Commencing April 25th and every day thereafter until October 81, 1893, round trip tickets.
