It was very thoughtful in the politi cal corpse to have the minister to the primary lust Thursday and say the last few words of comfort liefon; the cold, clammy votes buried it out of sight. R. F. Xeece informed us a few days m,o that the ditch was almost completed which would put about HO lu res of bis bind in shape to lie inir ited. That Bxe him tto that he has no fear of drouth. It is said that tin political corpse is utill trying to liuru out how it was that when it bad seven fellows solid at the primary last Thursday only five Voles appeared for it when the ballots were counted.

A large number of pcple galliered at the Helmut house at Uodaiv last Sun day to lis'.eu to l.r. Sexton and partiei pata in tli'i orgini.ition of lb ) l'reshv lerian church. An ablo serui.ui was deliverwl and an organization made with fourteen irteinbers and there were several who intended to join but were prev. -tiled by sickness. Steps aro being taken to erect a church building at once, all the lumber necessary having been subscrib d. When the building is completed J)r. Hextoti expi ts to return to dedicate it. Steps are tjeiiig taken to isue bonds of tlm village to lake up to" flouting tlebU and put tbe town mi a firm linancial basis. Such nn ai:tioii will be a great deal belter than to allow the credit of tbe place to become so impaired that no ono will want to buy or carry its Warrants. Already there are some judgements against the corporation and the interest on the bonds w ill lie no KivAlcr, if us great, as it is on warrants or judgements. It certainly looks hku a KOod business mova. Tho republican primary last Thurs day passed olf very quietly. K. O. Hough (fathered up all ha could work and wanted the proceedings to begin promptly as he was afraid that, others might wune and his little crowd Iss out numbered.

Oil motion tbe convention adjourned. HSAI' SHUTS. It was no ring convention. E. J. Wilcox made a good chairman1 It was hard to li net men who could spare the time to go to conventions as delegates. In Henry Covey the party has a chair man of honesty, energy and ability. The republican party will have no county ticket in Sioux county this fall. There was an attempt made to get the political corpse on the state delegation, but it proved a dismal failure. The only ritle in the deliberations of the convention was caused by John W. Hunter, of Bodarc precinct. For years he has manipulated the primaries of that prcciii'jt so that hu has come to the con vents as a delegate ami by his actions has lost more votes to the republican party than be even made lor it. The re publicans of Ins precinct decided to make a change and at the primary J. C. Eber sjweher and L. ('. l'liilhps were elected delegates to the county convention. The latter could not attend so Hunter llxed up credentials for Eberspecher anil himself. The Vouimittuo investigated the matter and discovered the crooked w ork and did uot report to admit Hunter. That individual then attempted to bull doze the chairman and tho convention, becoming profane and vulgar although repeatedly requested to come to order. It linally ecamu necessary for Slienlf Dew to inform him that he had gone far enouyh, and Hunter left the hull fol lowed by the applause of the convention. IUer hu returned and announced that he was no longer a republican and demanded that his name be stricken from the roll of republicans. For that the republican uartv can congratulate itself. And the convention is ciiLjtled to the thanks of all honest republicans lor saying by their unanimous vote that crooked primary work will not be upheld by the republi cans of Sioux county. A tnun load of Ilia troops which were taken west recently passed through here last evening ou their return to the forts. The strike troubles seem to be over. -Don't forget thai that the game of bust) ball at -Montrose Will bu next Wednesday and Ilia I Ilia boys of that locality in ijx isu to make it pleasant tor all who go over to see the iramu ui participate in the ball in the vmung. lY.liSONAJ,.

A meeting of the legislative com mittee of the Northwest Nebraska Irri gation Association was held at Harrison on Tuesday. All the counties in the district belonging in the association ex cept Sheridan, was represented. The committee organized by deciding by vote that tbe ollicers of the associa tion bo the oMieers of the committee. M. J. Blevvett, of Harrison, was made temporrry secretary. Secretary Sheldon being absent. A good deal of discussion was indulged in of an informal nature as to tbe best means to advance the irrigation interests of the state. It was (iually decided that the liest results could be obtained by a meeting of representatives of the vari ous parts of the state. A committee consisting of Hon. F. M. Broome, of Alliance, O. J.
