He knows that the time of year is at hand when 4uch things are appreciated by the priateV. -Jfbe people of this locality have got their hay up and are now mostly en gaged in getting up a supply of wood for the winter. The fact that fuel costs bothing is a great advantage to the let tiers of Sioux county. The diphtheria does not seem to be Spreading any. Several are still quite Sick in the families of O. E. Lunsford, i; H. Bartell, A. L. Lawler and Or. Phinney, but all are doing well. The children of J. W. Scott and The Journal family are ail about well. While John Herman was attempt ing to mount a wild horse on Monday the animal kicked him on the right leg, between the knee and ankle, breaking the bones. Or. Pbinney went out and reduced the fracture and at last ac counts he was resting as comfortably as COUld be expected. At the republican primary for bowen precinct on Thursday afternoon 11. b. Smilev. P. B. Bisralow. W. H. Davis and J. H. Bartell were elected' as delegates to the republican county con' vention which is to meet on Saturday, September 80th. -The statement of the Commercial Bank which appears in another column is the best of proof that the people of Sioux county are not paupers. That bank hag no county or village funds on deposit and its statement shows simply what belongs to individuals. On Thursday J. M. Smiley and fam ily returned from the east part of the state. He says that the exhibit at the state fair were good but the attendance was light The exhibit from Sioux coukty showed up in good shape and will undoubtedly be the means of attracting new settlers to Sioux eounty. He fur ther Say a that tbe crape are so poor that had anv of those who came here last spring remained where they were and rented land tbey would nave got noth ing for their work and come out in debt. There are many who are anxious to come here but tbe short crops have put them in such a condition that they can not ggt away. QuIU number who are in somewhat bettor circumstances are .inectad hare during tbe next few months. B. L Smuck has raofed bis barber' shop into the first room east of tbe post office, where be was located when he first opefled his shop in Harrison. Some WyomhVs) officers were here tbe first of the week looking for some men with a bunch of about twenty horses which had been stolen some where west of Casper. It was reported later that the Outfit had beett over hauled but it not definite. On Thursday W. f. Jones arrived from Utica with a carloand of Stock, household goods, farm implements and grain and will proceed to improve his homestead a few miles sooth of town. His wife and children arrived on Friday, so that he is now a full-fledged citizen of Sioux county. There is room for all and all are welcome, Parents and those who are members of families where there are children can not be too careful to keep away from houses Where diphtheria exists. There are enough of those Who do not need to endanger any little ones to render all the assistance heeded where there are cases of the disease, No1 pains should be spared to check the spread of the malady; TkE Journal desires to once more call attention to the need of some action being taken in regard to procuring a suitable piece of ground and laying it off in proper shape for cemetry pur poses. It is known to be simply a ques tion of time when tbe remains of those buried on the ground now being used for that pdrpose will have to be removed and the longer it is delayed the more there will be to move. The editor of Thk Journal went to Crawford Wednesday evening and re turned Thursday morning. This notice is given for the reason that he did not ask the permission of tbe commander-in-chief of the little ring of cute people and this office remained locked so that that individual could not sneak in and ques tion a child should one have been left alone for a few minutes. On last Saturday Wm. Melosh and Sol Wilson arrived from Seward with a car load of stock and goods. Their fam ilies arrived on Monday. The former is occupying the Sievers property and the latter is stopping with Ed Smiley until he can build on his claim south of town. Some fine cattle and horses were in the car which are great helps in develop ing the country. Jacob Klein, of Freeport, Illinois, was here the last of the week looking after a piece of land which his son owns in the vicinity of Bodarc. He was well pleased with it and says it is not for sale as he is satisfied that there is good profit in holding western lands. He has land in Dawes, Buffalo and other counties in this state and also in Iowa and Illinois, and knows that real estate is the best property a man can have. He said that there were many renters where he lived ' who would do better to come west and get land of tlieir own, and he will likely be the means of getting new settlers for Sioux county. After spending some weeks here reter Schasfer left Friday evening for Seward to complete his arrangement to move here and us expects to return with his family in about sixty days. He is well pleased with his investment here and took some potatoes and a water melon wbicb grew on his farm with him to show people how things grow here. He says there are lots of young people in his locality who ought come west and he will do all he can to get them to come to Sioux county. Later Mr. Scbaefer writes us that he has arranged to put the samples he took on exhibition at the Seward county fair so that all who visit it may what is raised in Sioux county. Died. Luhstobd. At the family residence near Harrison, Nebraska, on Monday, September 83, 1898, of diphtheria, Hugh, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. George E. Lunsford, aged 8 years and 10 months. The was the first victim that was car ried away by diphtheria. After being quite sick he appeared to get better, but the disease had got such a firm hold on his system that it could not be shaken off and he breathed his last about two o'clock Monday morning. The remains wen buried Monday evening. All sym patise with the parents in their loss. Bartrll. At tbe family residence northeast of Harrison, Nebraska, of diphtheria, on Wednesday, September 87, 18W, George Albert, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Bartell, aged 10 years, 11 months and 8 days. Thus did the dread disease mark the eldest son of another family for its a ond victim. He had been sick but few days and it required hard work to keep bim alive until bis father could get here from Iowa, where ha had gone on business, and in lees than two hours af ter Mr. Bartell reached home the young Ufa went out The funeral occurred on Thursday from the residence, Tbe stricken family hare the sympathy of all in their bereavement the ram harmacy, J. E. PHira, Pure Drugs, Medicines, Paints, Oils and Varnishes. y ARTISTS' MATERIAL. School Supplies. Prescriptions Carefully Compounded Day or Night. PERSONAL. Mrs. J. E. Phinney arrived this morn ing- Fred Blomberg was up from Glen on Monday. A. T. Hughson, of Andrews, called on Monday. H. H. Russell was in to see us on Saturday. J. A. Greet! W&S tip from Royville yesterday. Treasurer Gayhart was over from Montrose Friday. William Rickard was down the road the first of the week. E. J. Wilcox went to Chadroo last evening on business. ' Miss Alice Thomas returned yesterday from a visit to Hot Springs. C, Christensen called on Monday and gave US some cash on subscription. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hough and Hatie Bourrette were at Omaha last week. C. F. Coffee, Henry Warneke and J. E. Hollingsworth returned a few days ago from Omaha. Morris Underhill and Phil. Unitt ar rived .'rom Seward on Monday to visit their sons and look after their interests. They say that the boys are much better off here than they would have been had they stayed there and rented land. Ten State Premlims. On Monday Leo. DeBock and Eli Smith were in town for the first time since their return from the state fair. They are both well pleased with the re sult of having made the exhibit, even if no county premium was won for it was owing to a lack of some samples which could have been obtained had it been known to have been important, and not for a deficiency in quality, as tbe fact that ten premiums were won on the products in the collection proves. The premiums won were as follows: Potatoes, first and second premiums, L. DeBock. Cabbage, second premium, L. DeBock. Cucumbers, first premium, L, DeBock. Hops, first and second premiums, L. DeBock. Alfalfa clover, second' premium, Eli Smith. Cauliflower, first premium, L. DeBock. Brick cheese, second premium, A. Knori. Greatest variety of native grasses, second premium, Eli Smith. That is certainly a good showing for what Sioux county can do. Those who were in charge of the exhi bit recommend that a meeting of the society be held in the near future for the perfection of the organization and to lay plans for next year. They are sat isfied that with the proper effort a good premium can be won next year, but the work has got to be commenced in time. On Saturday Mrs. M. E. Knight was here looking over the country and learn ing of the advantages it offered for stock farming. She left her home in south western Missouri on the date of the har vest excursion and had stopped off at a number of points on her way here. She was well pleased with what she learned of this locality and it is expected that Mr. Knight, bis son and son-in-law will come in the near future to look over tbe country with a view to locating. The young men do not own land and at tbe prices at which land is held in that coun try it would be a' bard struggle for a poor man to pay for much land, while here tbey can get land for nothing, and whit improving it they can have some stock living on the government land around them and thus they can do muoh better than tbey can in the east Proprietor. gyBRUSHES. ftEPORT Or THE CONDITION THE COMMERCIAL BANK, At Harrison, in tbe State of Nebraska, at the close of business, Sept. 16th, 1803.
