the alitor if THE JoCKNAL and by th
ti-i iiis of the routruct the unexpired sut
x nations to that paper will lie lilled ou
by The Jirt'KN.u, and the hid jmid
c.ases to exist. This arrangement ii
the result of the natural laws of bu.si
tu-ss. Tlie toun is not and never ha'
Wn large euough to supjiort two news
'lKiers and the hard times now prevailing
have n.ade that fact still more apparent
and the action above stated has bee
taken in consequence.
This leaves The Joiknal the onl
newsaper in Sioux county and it shall be
the aim of t lie maragenitnt to conduct
it in a manner which will retain the con
lidence and respect of the people of Siouj
county. It will 1 run in the inter
et of no ring or clique and ill
continue to advocate what it believes to
be right and for the best interests of the
'town and county. In its criticism of the
'V-ts of public officials truth and fairness
will lie tlie lines followed, bul
bould any sued feel that they
liave not been fairly treated the columns
of The Jch'knal will be ojieh for an
explai nation.
The columns of ThE Jocbsal will tie
ripen for the fair (hs.-ussion of any mat
fe'r of public import to the jieople of the
county, but personal strife ai.d abuse ol
opponents w ill natie admitted.
Now that Mrs. Lease claims (o be a

It was considered a few years ago tlmt
irrigation was a distinctive western fea
ture but that idea has been done away
with by the (act that a good deal of &t
tention and money is being devoted to it
in New England.
A poeiu written by A. L. Bixby ol
Lincoln, appeared in the Youth' m C'mn
'fxinion a few weeks ago which showed
that he is a poet of no mean merit. In
both tone and sentiment the production
'was worthy of more tnan passing
'notice.
A move is being made in congress to
'have a number of the judges of the
Vnited States circuit court investigated.
There will be no squirming done except
by those who have allowed the idea thai
they had a "cinch" by virtue of a lift
'appointment to lead them to do thing
"winch they shouldnt 'orter.
. One of the fellow s who hung Secretary
"Morton in effigy at Nebraska City re
Ventlv was fined $200 last week for his
fun. He should thank hK lucky stai
that he got oil' as easily as he did. This
is a free country but there are limits to
freedom and a few doses like that ma)
teach some fools where to draw the line.
From the reports none rT tlie state
ollices will have to exert themselves to
any great extent to find men to fill.
Tliere appears to be an unusually largi
crop of aspirants for this season of tlit
year, but it is very eafly yet and somt
are liable to get frost-bitten before the)
mature as candidates.
Ex-President Harrison predicted in a
talk in Colorado recently that within a
'year the powers of Europe will be forced
to come into an international silver con
ference. Such a Conference would be ol
yreat benefit to the entire civilized
world. With gold and silver made the
standard of value in all the lions ol
tli6 earth and their relative values well
establislied one of the most embarassing
and vexatious questions of the age to
the commercial world would lie over-
come.
The safe of the American express com.
'u ny at Casper was robbed a few days
ago and about two thousands dollars in
money and valuables taken. Early lust
,Sunday morning the . night operator at
Hay Springs was shot by an unknown
person supposed to lie bent on robbery.
If (ht was the. motive the perpetrator
of the terrible crime got nothing, as the
appearance of the station, agent on , the
jHcene frightened tlie fiend away before
he nee urea any booty, lhe wounded
fotamak rapidly and died without mak
iejt may fUVtment'. . The express and
fiUlftaajil , fionpaoies , are making every

There nevrr man a time in the. history of
our country when thie demand for Inven
tions and liitfirovements in the arU and uc
ence generally was so tfreut an now. The
convenipnecs of nmnktnd In the fa tory and
work-shun', the houstdi'old.'on tlie farm, and
in offfctal life, reitilre continual accesKioim
to the afipuftenance and Implcinents of
racli In order to nave labor, time and ex
panse. The political change In the. ndndii
titration of goTernment Uops not effect the
progress of the American Inventor, who be
ing on the alert, and ready to perceive tlie
existing deffclencleii, docs not permit the
affairs of government lo deter him from
quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome
existing dlscrrpcnclcii. Too great caro can
not be excerclsed In ruoosliilta Competent
and (skillful attorney to prepare and prone
cute an application for patent. Valuable
Interest have been lost and destroyed In
innumerable mntunces by tlie employment
of Incompetent counsel, and expeclally I
this advice applicable to those who adopt
"No patent, no pay" nysteni. Inventors
who entrust their biisluesn to this class of
attorneys do so at liniueneot risk, as the
breadth and rtrengtb of the patunf Is never
considered in view of a ifuick endeavor to get
an allowance and obtain the Ice then due.

Sioux County,
THE LAND OF THE HOME
STEADER. Free Homes for More
Than 5,000 Men.
A new county with
schools, churches,
railroads, etc.,
AND 800,000 ACRES YET
OPEN TO HOMESTEAD
ENTRY.
Contains over forty-five miles of
railroad and has no county
bonds.
SO BOS US SO DEBTS, LOW TAXES.
Furl, VwU, Log and I. timber Cheaper
Than at any Other I'lace
la Sebraska.
Hioux county is the northwest county
of Nebraska. It is about thirty mile
east and west by about seventy miles
north and south and contains.
OVER 1,300,000 ACRES
of land. Tliere ale more bright, spark
ling, small stream in the county than
can be found in the same area elsewhere
in the state. It has more pine timber in
it than all the rest of the stale combined
Its grasses are the richest and most nu
tritious known o that for Ktock-growing
it is unexcelled.
Tlie soil varies from a heavy clay to a
light sandy loam and is capable of pro
ducing excellent crops.
The principal crops are small grain
and vegetables, although good com is
grown in the valleys. The wheat, oats
rye add barley are dil of unusually fine
quality and command the highest mar:
ket prites.
The water is pure and refreshing and
is foiihd in abundance in all parts of tiie
county.
The county is practically out of debt
and has over forty-five miles of railroad
within its borders, lias a good brick court
house and the Decenary fixtures for run
ning the county and there has never
been 6ne dollar of county bonds issused
and hence taxes will be low.
The Fremont, fclkhorn A Missouri
Valley railroad crosses SioOx county
from east to west and the U, & M. ha
about fifteen miles of its line in the
nortHea-st pat of the county.
The climate is more pleasant than tha'l
of the eastern portion ofjNebraslia.
There is still
OVER 800,000 ACRES
of land in Sioux county yet open to
homestead entry. It is better land and
more desirably, located than that for
which such rushes" are made on the own
ing of a reservation. There is no rail
road land in the county and for tlmt
reason its' settlement lias been slow fur
no special effort to get settlers was
made, as was done in the early days of
tlie settlement of the eastern part of the
state.
Good deeded land can be purchased at
reasonable rates with government land
adjoining so tbat a person who wants
more than one quarter section can obtain
it if he has' a little moans.
There tire about 2,500 people in the
county and there is room for thousands
more.
Harrison is the county jeat and is sit
uated on the F. E. &. it. V. railroad, and
is as good a town as the thinly settled
country demands.
School houses and churches are pro
vided in almost every settlement and are
kept up with the times.
All who desire to pet a homestead on
buy land cheap are invited to come and
see' the Country for thetnselves nnd judge
of its merits. Homestead will not be
obtainable much longer and if j ou want
to use your right and get 100 acres ojt
land from Uncle Hum free it is time you
were about it.
