It is and reliable. L. J. Simmons, Agent. -A croquet party was given by W. fl. Davis at his home on last Thursday evening. A very pleasant time is re ported by those who attended. J. H. Bartell is putting up a new ' ferkin windmill at the Schawartz place east of town. That is one of the deepest wells in the county and will be a good . Met of the mill. .riv f " T, O. Willi us ii putting 'doVn a well for Henry Covey on his place eajt of town. Mr. Covey will have a wind mill erected as soon as the well is com pleted. Thus are farms being fitted up. "'-Instructions have been received from the post-office department that the office of Orammeicy will be discon tinued after June 30th. The mail form erly directed to that place will come to Harrison until otherwise ordered by the patrons. The well on C. B. Underbill's place is completed and a pump put in. Hester ec Son will erect an Aermotor on a steel tower in a short time, as soon as the tower arrives. The Underhill boys will bring some cattle from the eastern part of the state in a few weeks with which to stock their farms. 1 Rains are reported in the north part of the county during the past week but Do moisture to speak of has fallen in this locality. A heavy rain is said to have fallen, on Indian creek the first of the week and on Tuesday night in the vicinity of Grammercy it is reported to have rained so bard that chickens were drowned. -When the special emigrant train came to Harrison in the spring it was arranged that a sort of re-union would be held when the proper time arrived so, by agreement, the greater portion of the new . settlers mot at Plimpton's grove on last Sundy and Njmnt tlie day very pleasantly. It was regretted that tome of the new settlers could not be fltent. One of the most important matters which will come op at the annual school Meting will be the question of a new location for the school house. The pres ent school grounds are not at all suit Vie for they are not level enough to Afford a good; place for the children to toy and the building is almost out of each with a team if any One wishes to go there, In addition to that it it etrid, bleak place, exposed to the winds to such an extent that the building trembles and shakes so that it Is felt utf pfe by the teachers and the sides of the BUilding yield before the winds so that H is noticeable All these things constd nd the parents and patrons, so far s - to learned fcre desirous of new loomtkm being tttai It is true there is ft little kiekiag, but those wfcr kiek limit such things simpty Shtfw, how much they resemble a certain" lemg-eflfed UmdrflBed Who has neither bride of an Mttry nor hope of poetority ftod (heir Ulaeaoe will prate not to ftrtWunt to much when parent eontidef the safety Of the life and limb of their ehildren.

Old papers for sale at The Journal otlUte. 5 cents per dozen. 160 acres adjoining Harrison for sale at a bargain, if taken soon. Simmons & Smhy. A number of the young people went out and spent Tuesday evening with Mrs. J. L. Smedes. Rainmakers were employed at Butte Neb., a few days ago and good rain fol lowed their work. The rain was local as far as can be learned and was sufficient in quantity to satisfy the people. The rate from Harrison to Chicago and return has come down a notch and round trip tickets can now be had for $36.25. There is still room for further reduction, if the railroad company sees fit to make it. r Some neighbors got into a little racket a few days ago and a peace war rant was sworn out by one man against nis brother, but wlien the time came the prosecuting witness did not appear and the case was dropped. The sinking of wells and erection of windmills will enable thousands of acres of the finest grazing lands to be used which in the past have been of no use on account of the distance to the streams. Under the stock-farming system Sioux county will develop and prosper and be come one of the greatest wealth-pro ducing counties in the state. ft r.Tbe great cowboy race ) 8 Chi M . ..... cago is in progress ana tne last reports received here were that the riders had passed Sioux Cily. Only nine men started in the race and one of those dropped out before he got to the Missouri river. The officers of the humane so city are watching the race closely and will prosecute any who mistreat their horses, but there has been nothing of the kind so far. Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota are suffering from severe forest fires. Several towns have been nearly wiped out of existence and the loss from a financial standpoint will be very great. A great number of people have been left without food or shelter and much suffering and loss of life are inevitable. Some idea of the condition may be formed from the report that at oot place there are 8,500 people dependent upon charity. Phillip Unitt bought two quarter sections of land here during bis visit last week. That makes 1,440 acres of Sioux county real estate which he has now and he has full faith in the future of the country. ' He purchased the Sievers place just northwest of town and he will paint and fix up the buildings and "otherwise improve it. Mr. Unitt returned home on last Thursday even ing. Superintendent O'Brien, of the fish hatcheries, writes that the supply of trout was short and for that reason he was unable to furnish the supply for this locality. He says they will have a good supply of all kinds of pond fish for fall delivery and urges The Journal to get all who can to fit up ponds and stock them for he says it will prove a great benefit in a year or two. He further says that they will have plenty of trout next spring. The time to either turn over the $500 which belongs to the school dis trict as ordered by the district codft or file a bond on which to carry up the man' dimus case of the school district against Village Treasurer Guthrie expired on Tuesday and he filed a bond in the sum of $1,000 with the following signers: Grant Guthrie, principal) and Chas. E. Verity) Lewi9 Gerlach, Eggert Rohwer, W. E. Bridgman as sureties to secure to the school district the falw license mon ey held by Mr. Guthrie and for the costs of the suit. The supreme court is some years behind with its work and the" in terest on the money involved will pay the costs to the little ring that is run ning the game and leave a niee margin; While the taxpayers of the district will have to pay the expense Of an attorney to conduct the case in the supreme court to get the funds that should have been paid to the school district treasurer some time agov There may have been a shadow of an excuse' for the village treasurer to decline to tittti the money over at first, bnt the refusal to accept the decision of the district court and obey the mandamus indicates that the" Whole matter was arranged by the" littli ring of cOte people when they fixed u that Village election deal.

H, Cook and family returned . last week from Chicago. They did not re main as long as was intended, having been called home on account of impor tant business. A. W. Nicholson, L. H. Barnum and W. A. Madison were up from Cook pre cinct on Tuesday and called at this office and the two first-named enrolled them selves as readers of The Journal. Peter Schaefer writes that he and a good many others from Seward will come to Sioux county some time in September. He says there are lots who want to come out and take homesteads while they can get them. The prospects are that more landseekers will come to this county this fall than ever did in one year in the history of the county. C. V?i CroUdson is taking the lead in an effort to have the ground where those who have died here are buried fenced, and it will be but a few days until the graves will be protected from loose stock. This, again calls to mind the need of a piece of land being secured and properly laid off and dedicated for burial purposes. The longer it is defer red the more bodies there will be to removei The board of equalisation is still in Session and will be for some days yet. The assesment Of the railroads is $500 a mile less this year than it was last and that makes a reduction Of the railroad assessment in the county of twenty-four thousand dollars. It is expected that the increase of persdtial and real estate will bring the total Of the County" up to what it was last year"; It is reported to be a part Of the" pt'og't-atn of the little ring Of cute people to elect a school district treasure!- from among themselves so that he will Hot appear iri the case against the Village treasurer and that Would even throw the entire costs of the suit dd the tax payers of the school district and put that milch more into the pockets of the conspir ators. Will the taxpayers alio them selves to' be duped in that way?

It must be that President Gayhart is sick and in that case be could notify the vice-president so that he could act If Mr. Gayhart has not time to spare to come so far and attend to the duties of the office he might resign and then the next highest officer would have the necessary author ity, but as it is the whole responsibility rests on the president The Festive Firecracker. Stop, here are firecrackers! How that pungent odor annihilates time. One really has a strong desire to take a pack, squat down somewhere and "fire it off." It is strange that no one can make fire crackers like the Chinese; they seem to possess some exclusive knowledge or secret. Yet how simple they are. A strip of thick coarse paper is cut six inches long and an inch and a half wide. Across the middle of it the match-paper, or stem, is laid, protruding a quarter of an inch from the bottom. A pinch of fine powder is laid upon it and the paper folded and pasted. Then it is deftly rolled into a hard cylinder. The bottom is plugged with a particle of soft red clay, and the cracker is then laid in a mold and pressed until dry, the clay meanwhile being rammed in still more firmly. Finally a slip of thin red paper is pasted for the envelope. This is one description of the manufacture. Colonel Field speaks of another method whereby the paper was rolled and pressed around a form, and when dry the fuse was in serted, the bottom plugged with clay, the powder put in and the paper at the upper end punched down around the fuse, after which the red envelope was put on.
