A man in Dawson county got
afraid of the banks and drew out $1,500

W. T. Moore received word last
week that his mother died on July 10th,
Deceased was for some years a resident
of the place. The cause of her death
was congestion of the bowels:
It is reported that a good many men
from the west are passing over this line

From the reports from the east and
the letters being received it is quite
certain that a great many people will
come west to get hoMesteads. They are
getting very tired of paying cash rent
for the high priced land in the east and
then have their crops fail every other
year wien by coming west they have
just ai much assurance of & crop and
haveiio rent to pay.

While Hugh Smiley and his wife
were away from home one day last
week some one made an entrance) into
the bouse through a window and carried
off a watch and revolver belonging to
him. It Would be quite unhealthy for

son who will do such tricks should be
dealt with in a manner that would
teach him better. A term in the pen
would do him good.
Since the last issue of Ttte Jochnal
a good many, including school officers
and patrons, have expressed the opinion
that an institute for one week would be
a hardship on the teachers and a farce
by those who run it. In View of such a
feeling it would be a good plan for the
county superintendent to call the thing
Off. Teachers cannot be expected to at
tend in easy number and to get any one
here on the strength of what the teachers
are to contribute Would be "obtaining
instructions under false inducements."
f. IN. Kirkpa trick and family came
up from Box Butte county the first of
the week to visit friends and see the
country with the view to locating. They
came from Seward last spring and rent
ed a farm near Berea and they will soon
be residents of Sioux county. Mr. Kirk
patrick is a man of good judgment and
knows a good thing when he sees it and
he is highly pleased with this part of the
country. A number of others will
come from Box Butte county to this
place to get a piece of government
land.
Bert Underhill arrived the last of
the week with a car of cattle from Sew.
ard. The cattle were poor in flesh on
account of the short pasturage which
prevails in that section as a result of the
drouth. He says his father cut eighteen
acres of tame gnus and got ten loads of
hay. Phil Unitt cut 180 acres and got
thirty loads of hay. Wheat will not
average ten bushels per acre and oats in
proportion. Corn in some parts is fair
but those who have high cash rent to
pay will be in hard lines when they
come to settle with their landlords.
H. Bartell brought in a sample of
fall wheat on last Saturday which shows
up in good shape. There has never been
a lair test of fall wheat made here yet
and it would be a good plan for some of
our farmers to get some ground in good
shape and put in some wheat 'early
enough so that it will get the right kind
of tort. It should be put in an early
as September first, Um same as it Is in
other plaosf. Success aonot hi es-

It is reported' that in some localities
people are using nets and seines to catch
fish. There are good many young fish in
the streams of Sioux county that have
been planted there and will; if let alone
for a few yean, stock the streams nicely
and people should refrain from the use
of unlawful means to capture them
Some people have been to 'considerable
pains in this work and they will not
tamely submit to the destruction of the
fish contrary to law. It might be well
for those who want to seine to look up
the law on the subject and then they
will know What to expect:

that Pretty Ef aagellM
We published recently under the head
of "A Pretty Surprise" a notice of a
new and very charming edition of Long
fellow's most celebrated poerh, "Evange
line' Upon examination, the book
proves so delightful in every way that
we believe it will be a favor to our read
ers to refer to it apain. It is handsome
ly illustrated, mainly by Birket Foster,
one ot the most famous of English art
ists, and bound in exquisite taste in a
combination of white and blue cloto,
with gilt edges and ornaments, and
sold Only by the publisher direct (not by
booksellers) at approximately the actual
cost of manufacture by tbe hundred
thousand 19 cents a copy, plus 6 cents
postage, if by mail. His object is to
place an example of his book-making in
the hands of a vast number of readers.
He could certainly choose no more ex
cellent volume, to please all people of
good taste. His catalogue of books,
covering every department of literature,
a veritable feast of good things for book
lovers, and at wonderfully low prices,
considerably over 100 pages in size, is
sent postpaid for 2 cents. Address,
