Entered at the Harrison post office as sec ond Claris matter. Western people will understand the seriousness of tt drouth in Lng;and from the statemt n nut good hay read- !y sells for $40 a ton there. Unfortu nately hay makes an unsatisfactory ballast for an Atlantic liner. Otherwise the shipments of the commodity would be heavy from the west Omaha Bee. Thursday, June 22, 1893. Rain was produced at Rapid City, S. D., a few days ago by the use of five hundred pounds of giant powder and the experiment is to be repeated in a few rlavs. The result is said to have been satisfactory to the people. It is said that the platform on which H- G. Stewart stands is built of the lumber obtained of A. W. Nicholson, and that it is built on the celebrated wood contract of a few years ago. The great Deadman statesman seems to helieve in reform alons lines that lead directlv into his pocket. There is great similarity among the pop in that respect. leaders Chief Justice Fuller of the United States supreme court has handed down an opinion in the matter of the closing of the worlds fair on Sunday, in which the decision of the circuit court is re versed and from now on the gates of the fair will be open on Sunday. The opin ion is based solely on national law. . The matter can eo no further as that is the court of last resort. Pursuant to the new law President Clereland has appointed a lot of army officers to Indian agencies in the various parts of the west Captain Charles G. Pennev, who was for a time in charge at Pine Ridge, S. D., has been duly appoint ed to that place. The placing of the Indian agencies in the hands of the regu lar army officers will remove it, some what from the partisan lines, but there vi the 11 be just as much dissatisfacLn ov a matter among the whites alO pro er rob- ably as much among the reds. Four men have been held to be responsible for the collapse of the old Ford theater at Washington, which caused the death of so many a few days ago. The rule has been in such cases that nothing was done to those who are found to have been criminally careless or negligent so that lives, are lost. In addition to the holding the four men as stated above the coroner's jury censured the government of the United States for not providing skilled superintendents to have i-harire of the work done by the war department in the repair of buildings. It is amusing to note what great ca- lamity the opposition is predicting for the republican party if it does not nom- inate Maxwell to succeed himself. The history of Nebraska politics shows that erery time the republican party has tried to elect a man because he was supposed to be popular with the opposi tion it has failed. As a rule the man who is hated the most by the opposition is the proper man for the republicans to nominate. The Kearney Journal says some of its independent friends in Buffalo county should take a trip oyer to Broke Bow and view the palatial residence just completed by 0. M. Kem, the poverty stricken, mortgage ridden congressman from that district. The trip might dis pel some of the dreams about this statesman that have become current. Mr..Ketn has farmed the dear people in beautiful shape and he is fixing himself to live like a prince in the future. He once wrote his constituency in Custer from Washington, saying, "I am not here for slorv." Every one in that county believes it now. Fremont Tri bune, It Is reported that the federal author! ties have become alarmed over the num ber of national bank wreckers that are coming to light of late and are deter mined to use them as an example. It will be very gratifying to the people of Nebraska if the sentence of Mosher is the heaviest the law provides. He has pleaded guilty to crimes for which the lightest punishment allowed is five years in the penitentiary and as much more as the court sees fit to impose. If the scoundrels who take advantage of the confidence of the people and steal their money under cover of business knew that they would occupy falon's cell for the rest of their lives they would not be so apt to wreck banks. They are much worse than the bank robbers who enter at the dead of nieht and force open the treasure vault and carry on tne con tents, and they should be more severely dealt with. The Colambian Fair. There was a time yrhen -"Se-ment of the. Nebraska sU.i- v ... ol agriculture thought of not holding a fair this Columbian year, with most western states, particularly those near Chicago. Better and wiser conclusions prevailed. It is remembered that at best, a very small proportion of the peo ple will, or can, go to Chicago and those thus deprived should not be cut off from the trreat obiect lesson and annual recreative occasion of a state fair. To meet the emergency and keep step with the Columbian year demands, ex traordinary arrangements have been per fected and all efforts are being made to render the Nebraska state fair and ex position to be held at Lincoln, September to 15 next, the grandest entertainment of the kind ever held in the west. In the agricultural line, the great fac tor, countv collective exhibits, lias been thrown open to the world. Kansas, Colorado. Iowa. Missouri and Dakota promise to be represented. Other special attractions will be un usually fine and instructive. The speed ring feature will be larger than ever, The secretary reports that already more entries are on hie than at any fair be fore, even un to fair week. Live stock exhibitors are all wide awake and will fill nn stalls and neus. Premiums have been increased in number, as well as dollars. Arrangements have been completed by which railroad transportation can be had, round trip fares from Chicago to the west and return, the same as from the west to the worlds fair and return This will brine manv strangers from Chicaero to see the "New West" this fall Exhibitors are invited to bear this mind. Six hundred dollars is the captal prize this year, for the best county collective exhibit, with five other minor ones, none less than one hundred dollars. ' Working the Wrong Way. Kearney Hub. On account of the Newberry bill passed by the last legislature which re duced the local freight rates on certain articles but is so voluminous and com plicated that no one seems to know just now what the general reduction, if any, will be, the railroad companies have de cided to "hedge" against any possible loss it might result in to them and on and after this date have raised the rate on corn and wheat three cents per hun dred pounds from Kearney to Chicago. The rate heretofore has been, on corn 84 cents per hundred and wheat 29, but under the new tariff it will be 27 cents for corn and 32 cents for wheat. As the only effect the Newberry bill can have is on freight shipped from one point to another in Nebraska and as the farmers Will get no benefit of what is shipped Into Kearney and will have to pay three cents per hundred more for all corn and wheat that is sent out, it is hard to see where the Newberry bill will benefit them. In speaking of this matter Hon. A. G. Scott said: "The advance made on wheat and corn alone will cost ma from $1,000 to f 1,200 a year, or more than enough to pay all my taxes, and it will cost the farmers of Buffalo county from $60,000 to $75,000 per year. Talk about fee Black Hills railroad bonds being a harden, the farmers are not effected at all by them as they are by this increase hi rates which comes directly out of their pockets. Some of those fellows Who were so ready and willing to bang John Wilson in effigy last win tor for voting against the bill, will now leal more like tendering him an ovation awl the feHows who voted for it will be Km omea to hang."

It was the leading pop organ of the state and Van Wyck, Wolfe and other office seekers had to put up very liberally during the campaign last fall and since then numerous efforts have been made to get the faithful from the rural districts to put up the cash which was necessary to pull the concern out of the hole. The people of the country did not remit to any great extent and the affairs of the company seem to be near an end. The alliance and the pop organizations are both getting pretty badly demoralized and will rapidly fall into decav unless some of the unscrupu lous men who have been using them for their own selfish ends are called down.

"Editor Simmons, in his attack upon the new freight rate bill, has proven himself a liar and a fool, so we will not devote any more space to him on this suliiect. for the srood book says; 'An stver not a fool according to his folly lest tbou also be like unto him. The above is copied from the last sue of the Indendeniiat county pat rorage only-and is a sample of the argument used by the pop organ. The statement by the turncoat editor of the pop organ that the editor of this pape: in the discussion of the new freight Tate law has proven himself a liar and a fool, is all that is necessary to justify the reform editor of the Independent tot his bare-faced sellout of his political princi ples for the promise of the county printing. That Simmons has proven himself a liar and a fool (according to the purchaseable editor of the pop organ) in the discussion of the new freight rate law is good reason why Senator Stewart should not have guarded the interests of his constituents better than he did. To have the purchaseable pop editor tell his readers that Simmons has proven himself a liar and a fool in the discussion of the new freight rate law will very likely make them feel good when they have to take three flints a bushel less for their wheat anel have to pay from three to fl ve dollars a car more on stock they have tor ship. Because, according to the editor of the Independent tor revenue only says that the editor of this papef has proven himself a liar and a fool hr the discussion of the new freight raw is good exctfse for the contemptible acts of the office- seekers and usurers who' compose the little ring of eute people who bought and own and cofitrol the pop paper and iU editor. thMtoct is that the article copied above rs another attempt of the pop edMof to call the' attention of people to (be e&tof of miMMfe in 0 Hop of dftatireg the pontic t frottt the ptt fottflancefof Mnwerf and the reforineW for tce or revenue 6rjibo- owfl Wtt for tome of their traoatotion o not took well wbotf expoatd to pttMfo Tfcwv The paoMo are pretty wetf cMna that tM Woal Mahrt of the ooiwilfco : are nr n autrpij nr wnat way oas got oriof Htwf aV( role toe ptfotto MoA Notice for Publication.
