Don't forget to collect something to help out the state fair exhibit. When you find anything suitable put it away carefully and notify the committee that you will have it here on the appointed day to be loaded into the car. Sam Tebbet brought in some sam ples of wheat and corn on Tuesday which go a long way toward proving that crops are not a failure in Sioux county. He also brought a water melon Which was of excellent flavor. Steps are being taken to have the old Smith building fixed up and it will likely be occupied in the near future by a business man. That will help the ap pearance of that part of town. Serres Bros, thresher is to start up today in the Five Points neighborhood. The grain is of excellent quality and will yield fairly well for the amount of traw. The east bound train broke in two last Friday evening shortly aftes leaving Lusk and when it came together it shook things up pretty lively. No one was hurt to speak of and a few broken bump ers and drawdeads was the extent of the damage. , . . .The Underbill brothers expect some horses from the east in a few days. On account of the hard times there is no market there for them and on account of the drouth feed is so high there that there ia no profit in keeping them in that country. . It rained for about four hours last night, about an inch of water falling. That makes it so that the farmers can do tome fall plowing and put in winter wheat. The sooner winter grain is put in the better for it needs a chance to get a good start before cold weather. Vague rumors are once more afloat to the effect that this line of railroad is to be extended lo the near future. It would be very nice if such a thing would occur so that this locality would have improved ttain service, but it is hardly likely to come about this year. ; H. T.

The mother and son are doing as well as could be expected and the father will recover if nothing occurs to complicate matters. Word has been received that a gi location has been assigned to the exhib it from Sioux county in the agricultural hall on the state fair ground. Now let every one help get up a good exhibit and have it here en next Tuesday to be load ed in the car. There is no reason why Sioux county should not have a good prize this year. Dr. Phinney received a telegram yesterday from his wife stating that their youngest child was very sick and not expected to rive. - He took the first train for Lincoln, where the family is visiting Mrs. Phinney's parents. It is hoped that he will find the little one better when he reaches it. He will re turn as soon as circumstances will rrmit L. Oerlach received a letter from his wife yesterday informing him that the physicians who have examined the little boy are of the opinion that he can be cured, but will not say positively un til they have treated him for a couple of weeks. The trouble arises from the ef fects of scarlet fever which he had a year or more ago. Rumors have frequently come to the ears of the editor of THE Journal as to what the new settlers intended to do to him for the part he took in getting them to come here to live, but he never anticipated any danger. In this he was mistaken for shortly after dark on Mon day evening the crowd of new settlers came to the home of the editor and it was evident that there was a conspiracy. No personal violence was done, however, and a pleasant evening was spent to commemorate the thirty-fifth birthday of the pencil pusher of this paper. On last Thursday P. Lacy and Jesse and William Sherrill arrived from Battle Creek, Iowa, to see the country and visit friends. The two last named are brothers of J. W. Sherrill and the party went out to his place that day and have not come to town since. They were at tracted to this place by having read a copy of The Journal. Like all other home seekers who come here they were disgusted with the trip fr-jity Chadron here, but the railroad, not triS country, is to blame for that. ' On last Thursday word was received from Dr. Phinney that he bad arrnged so that he could move and that he expected to be here on Monday with a car load of goods. He got here and hat opened his stock in the middle room in the Andrews building, which was formerly occupied as a drug store. He is busy at work getting his goads in shape and supplying the wants of those who call on him. He nas also had a good deal to do at a phy sician since he arrived and has not had time to get everything in shape. The people are all glad that be hat come here to locate, especMty the Seward people who know him. He it a pharma cist and knows how to handle drugs and will carry those of good quality and strength, which fact will be appreciated by the people here.

When it found that the people who came here had minds of their own and could not be handled by it politically or other wise, a change came o'er its actions. Geo. Walker came down from Cas per and spent Sunday with his family. He says a good deal of work is being done in developing the mineral and oil of that country and the indications are that a bright future is in store for that place. The development of the resources of that section will be of much benefit to this locality and it is to be hoped that the good work will go on. George says he is building up a good tytw practice. The report mentioned in the last issue of The Journal in regard to the trouble at one of the outlying post offices seems to have been made on mis leading rumor in part. Parties who are interested on both sides and know the facts have informed us that the story that the postoffice official had opened a letter was wrong. The letter was sent to the office in charge of a child and the official claims that it arrived in such a condition as to be unavailable and was placed in another envelop and addressed and tent on its way. The matter has been settled tatisfactorially between the parties and dropped and The Journal does not desire to do any one an injus tice and gladly makes the correction. Frequent inquiries an made as to the progress of the suit which County Superintendent Southworth and H. T. Zerbe wen working up to knock out the incorporation of the village of Harrison. So far as we can learn then has been nothing done except that those gentle men went to Chadron and consulted an attorney in the matter and it is not likely that anything will be done. It would avail nothing, even if the effort was successful, for several reasons. In the first place the people of the precinct would have the petitioning for a saloon to do and if they are not to receive the license money for the school they an not likely to ask that a license be granted. Then, again, as toon as the requisite number of people become resi dents of the town the same could be re incorporated and that would stop the division of the money' and the various school districts would ceas to receive any portion of the license money. The scheme was worked up by the little ring pf cute people who cared not what they did to injun the town and was used for the purpose of booming some one for office this fall, but it hat fallen to flat that the cute people deny their work in it, and the boomer it glad to keep still about it. Such little schemes an built on the boomeranR plap, as A vulu, and return and injure the one who lUotripts to use them. ; C The street commissioner could do some good service by pounding down the spikes in the sidewalks about town. As the village would be responsible for any injury sustained by reason of defeo wve walks it Would be well for the vil lage board to look after the matter. Some of the sheep owners report that they have Sot yet received any returns from the Wool they shipped last spring. The uncertainty at to what will be done to the Wool -tariff by congress hat destroyed the market for dealer do not dan risk their money. WlXtlb Balesmen, to sell our choice and hardy nursery stock.

PATENTS FOR INVENTIONS PROCURED BY Press Claims Equal with the interest of those having claims against the Government is that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit of valuations because of the incompenteccy or inattention of the attorneys employed to obtain their patents. Too much care cannot be exercised in employing competent and reliable solicitors to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney. With a view of protecting inventors from worthless or 'careless atttorneys and of seeing that inventions are well protected by valid patents, THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY has retained counsel expert in patent practice and is there fore prepared to OBTAIN PATENTS, CONDUCT INTERFERENCES, MAKE SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS PMtSBCCTE REJECTED CASKS, REGISTER TRADE MARKS and OOPYTIGHTS, ' RENDER OPINIONS as to SCOPE Mid VALIDITT of PATENTS, PROSECUTE and DEFEND INFRINGEMENT SUITS, ETC., ETC. If you have an invention on hand send THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY a tketch or photograph thereof, together with a brief description of the important ' features, and you will be at once advised as to the best course to pursue. ModeU are not necessary unless the invention is of a complicated nature. If others are infringing on your rights, or if you are charged with infringement by others, tub. mit the matter to ut for a reliable OPINION before acting on the mat ter.
