All concerned are doing well. Prof. Wood worth Rave a sleight of hand performance to a fair audience at the court house on Friday evening. In shaking of the new w hool house at Andrews a few weeks ago we were misinformed as to the cost. It should have been fl78,00 instead of fiiH.OO. Parties were up from Crawford on Katurday to see alxiut putting in a bid on tlie addition to the si hool house. Dr. Meridith has taken nn apcal to the district court from tho action of the commissioners. The board rejected the hill ait being excessive and the doctor dif fered in opinion and appealed. I. X. Kirkpatrick brought in a sam ple or alfalfa which grew from seed sown by hm daughter, Clara, on April 20th, and it indicate that ulfalfa can lie grown on the high table. When hay is hard to get it would prove very prollta hle to the owner. While driving in ihe canons on Sat urday with heriHter and nephew, Mrs. A. R. Dew met with an accident winch while not uerioiw was annoying. One of the wheel of the cart gave away and it a. man with a rone had not coins along thi party would most likely have been was k NOTICE TO SETTLERS, Tlie rules of tlie local land ollice have recently been amended tut that settlers to make final proof shall settle with tlie publisher before sending in their applica tion.

Elerpecher is cutting buy on divide east of town. A good rain at Pleasant Ridge yester day morning is reported. New Ileering Meal mowers, foot cut, f IS. 00, at the Ranch Supply Houe. J. C. L. Rigland has the contract of of putting up hay for tlie Van Tassel ronch. A daughter came to gladden the home of Mr. and Mis. A. T. Clark on' Saturday night. All reported as doing well. j Dr. Phinney reports the arrival of new girl at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rw-e at Pleasant R.dge the last of the j week. I j V. R. Smith and his grading outfit j returned from the Hills the last of the week. He exx-cts to do some work on this division. Will lloyt has purchased the ranch of Y A. Hielow on Running Water and it is rumored will in a short time con centrate his various interests at that place. Wo understand that arrangements have lieen made fur a game of hall lie tween picked nines of Harrison ami Pleasant Ridge, to lie played on Satur day July, 25. Sioux county was not represented at tlie congressional convention. Mr. Cov ey returned home direct from the state convention and Mr. Livermore visited a few days in the south part of the statu before returning. A good many are putting up hay on the table. There is no hay in the valley except where the land is irrigated and but little of the small grain will tie cut, even for hay. On the table the grass is of fair height but not very thick on the ground. The li e cream social of the Ep worth league at the church Tuesday night was well attended. An appropriate program including a representation of t.h"Singin Skew!" of our granddads was rendered and a general all around good time had by those present. Street Commissioner Invrv is going to see that tlio alleys and hack lots tire cleaned, anil as he is backed up by tho hoard of trustees people will do well to Iwed bis warning. A thorough cleaning up nuy save much sickness. In the write-up of the exercises at the court house on July 4th which npieared in last week's issue of TlIK JorRSAL inadvertantly omitted to men tion tho recitation by Miss Claudia Hester. The selection was appropriate mid well rendered and we regret that the omission occurred in the article. In speaking with J. J. Rodgers the first of the week we learned that small grain on Soldier creek if. burned out. not all of it lieing lit to cut for hay. In ad dition lo that voung calves, yearlings some older cattle have been dying with blackleg. Some means should be de vised to investigate the cause of it. A man by the name of Hubbell was killed at Lakeside on the li. & M. a few day ago. A hole about an inch long was found in his skull, evidently made with some blunt instrument. The object of the murder is unknown, as nothing had been taken from his pockets although he had money and other valu able on his person. At the last meeting of the village board an ordinance was introduced pro viding that railroad trains should not lw rim above a certain speed within the cor porate limits of the village, that no fly ing switches should lie made and that under certain conditions a flagman should be provided at each of tho cross ings by the company, ond also other pro visions intended lo prevent accments. The ordinance was laid over until the next meeting. At the advertised time, noon July 15th 181)11, the proposals for the erection of proposed addition to the village school house were opened by the school board. There were three bids on file, McCoy and Wright of Crawford bidding fiU7.25, Hester and Son $505.00, and David Hart lett and James Wright $500.00. The last mentioned bid being the lowest was accepted. We understand that it is in tended to push the work in order that the building may lie completed by the first Monday in November, when school will commence. 1 Slioritrn Sale.

Adulph Ruecliel returned Thursday from a visit to points in the Pluck Hills. Mrs. J. S. McNay and son. Howard, of Lincoln, are the guests of Mrs. Mc Nay's sister, Mrs. A. R. I)ew. Mike Siattery arrived the last of the week from Cripple Creek to see his brother who has been very sick. Martin J. Fritz was i.i Harrison the last, of the week. He is canvassing the county for some excellent books. Mrs. S. ', !). HtisM?tt was in Harrison a short time on Sunday, tlie first time s.'ie has linen here for a good w bile. Hank Simmons was in Harrison (lis last of the week interviewing stock owners in regard to cattle shipments. V. A. Hester left Friday evening for Omaha to receive medical treatment. 1 le will remain some weeks and it is hoped that ho will lie benefitted. Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Rlewett drove to the home of the latter's parents in War bonnet Sunday. Mike returned the same evening, but Mrs. Blewett remain ed to visit for a few davs. On Sunday the thermometer stood at I'll in the shade, and there was gusts of wind, which if not hot were so close to it that it would need an expert to tell the diirerence. The grass has turned in olor rapidly within the past few days and it w ill soon lie cured. The Jol'HNAl. acknowledges receipt of tickets of admission to the state fair, to lie held at Omaha August 27th to September 5th. for himself and wife. Of course they came from Gov. Furnas. A state fair ticket would look unfinished without his name on it. As Had as Ever. "There is no longer any doubt that the hot weather of the past week has se verely injured crops in this county. Up to a week ago there was every prospect that the crops on the parks and tables would bu the largest ever known in the history of the county. The outlook is now for one-fourth to one half a crop of small grain. Corn, potatoes and vege tables still look well, although the corn is hurting in the valleys." The above from the Chadron Si'iinl )Uc(iribr shows the crop conditions in I lavves county. Reports from other of the northwestern counties indicate that about the same crop conditions exist. In Sioux county the prospect is no more promising. In the Cottonwood country the crops are said to be nearer a failure than ever before, although corn may do fairly well. In the Hat Creek country small grain is said to Is: gone up and the corn and potatoes suffering. On the table the small grain still promises fail but not so well as was expected. The greatest diflieulty which the people in the valley will have contend against will be lack of feed. There are few who depend exclusively on crops for a living so that no one will sillier, but lack of forage is not a pleasant condition to face. Tlie Horseless 'Hirliige. In fact, it is so thoroughly accepted that the horseless carriage has come to stay, that scores of manufacturers are already engaged in turning out these machines of many and varied types. Their first use w ill of course come in the cities, where there are good roads, and for such purposes as light expressage. The great value of the horseless carriage as compared with tho old style, is its far greater cheapness. The use of horses in our cities, for instance, is practically forbidden to all except the very rich. Hut a team fed with oil or naphtha, at a cost of a ftw cents a day, will perhaps eventually place a barouche for after noon rides in Central Park within the reach of any bookkeeper or clerk. When a man earning $2,000 a year in New York city can maintain an eipiip- age which will trundle him twenty miles away from his flat in an hour, a whole new class of citizens will become- victims to the tennis, baseball, or golf habit, from which they are now sheltered by the mere inertia of time and space to be overcome. And with each advance in the art of moving rapidly there will lie a corresponding increase in out-of-door sports, and a better opportunity to reach the fields and the woods in the short vacations allowed by the hurrying busi ness struggles of to day. From "The World s Sporting Impulse," by Charles Lanier, in lie view of Reviews for July. A Red-Met Campaign. The present campaign will bo the most exciting one fought out since the war.
