through town on Tuesday on their way
to Idaho. They had been in this coun
try for many years.
Jim Nolan pulled his thresher
tliroogh town yesterdiy on the way to
Highland precinct.
Those who attended the state fair
report a great time. The crowd was
immense and every body got very tired,
but that was part of the good lime.
A Bryan club was partially organ
ized Just evening. Lewis Gerlach was
ileclnd temporary chairman, and M. J.
Bhiwett temporary secretary. A meet
ing will bo held Saturday evening to
iii.i- a permanent organization.

bssn buying cattle in this locality and
those that have shipped direct to market
It tvuuid seem that there is more of a
clean-up than common. The scarcity of

-The RipSnrrrtfr, by Masters Floyd
Gluts and Eddie Outhrie, is the latest
newspaper venture in Harrison. The
first iu lieara date of Sept. 9. 1890.
It Is a two-page, two-column paper and
no do'ibt affords tbo boys much amuse

day school meets at 10:80 a. m. Bring
your baskets and dinner and participate
in the. pleasures of the day. The school
extends a cordial invitation to all. A
progrMn will be. rendered after dinner.
Hi hool opened on Monday with Prof.
Charles L. Marsteller as principal and
Miss Harris in charge of ttie primary de
triment. The building was all ready
nnd the new books on hand, but the new
furniture liad rot arrived. There was
some trouble between the board and the
house from which the goods were order
ed and the order was finally cancelled,
and what is needed will be procured
elsewttere. The attendance not being
large the old seats supplied the demand.
With the adde I room, new Turniture
unit new books the school will be in con
dition to advance the scholars niorj rap
idly tiiao ever before and the teachers
will have fewer difficulties to contend
with tln any of their predecessors.
A horrible thing occurred in Chad
run early last Thursday morning. An
alarm of flrs was given about 4 o'clock
and it was found that the fire was at the
liomo of W. A. Dunley. There a most
hwrt-wnding scene wa beheld. Tlie
occupants of the house consisting of
father, mother, awl two little girls aged
four and one year, had been Uken from
the building in unconscious condition
from tlas amok. Hard work brought
the parrots buck to life but the little
ones were beyond human aid. Investi
gation showed that tlie carpet in the
room occupied by the family bad been
saluratwl with keroseoe in three differ
ent plains and then set on fire. An In
quest w as held over the remains of the
two children and a verdict returned that
they came to their death as the result of
ii B set with murderous intent by
some person to tue jury unknown. It
is a mystery to all, as the family was
not kana to have an enemy In the
worM. The and affair cast a gloom
ort all Cbadron as the little ones were
rery popular. Tba dastardly act ahows
to what depths depraved humanity may

The County Fair.
As the time approaches the interest in
the county fair seems to increase. Peo

which they had not thought of. Many
will have ati .-s on exhibition which
they will not enter to compete for pre
miums, but simply to bell) make tlie
exhibition more complete.
There will lie no charge for entering
articles for premiums, but no premiums
are to be awarded uuless two or more
articles are entered to compete, or un
less the judges deern the articles entered
worthy o. award. No one who is inter-
estedin articles entered for premiums .

Held to the district Court.
The preliminary hearing of Frank
Zerbst Wore Justice Smuck on the
charge stealing the mare and colt from
Ed Hchwarr, was held on last Fri
day and tho court held him to
appear at the next term of thi district
court and lieing unable to secure a bond
he was remanded to jail to await trial.
It would lie a irood thing for the pris
oner as well as the county if nn arrange
ment could be made so that he could be
tried at once and have it over. The case
against him seems to lie clear and if he
has got to serve time the sooner he he
gins the sooner he will get through. He
does not seem to realize the position he
is in and assumes that he will get out,
but the sentiment in general seems to
be quite the reverse.
The efforts of County Treasurer
Biehle to collect delinquent personal
taxes and the results in some instances
have called forth some comment. Some
have talked that taxes, like an open ac
count, outlaw in two years, and others
talkthatitit.no use Uj try to collect
and use their influence to discourage the
effort. In tlie case of I he 04 cattle the
question of the ownership of the prop
erty and the liability of those cattle for
the taxes is to be determined, lo the
case of the Van Tassell cattle it looks as
if the right to levy and collect taxes on
the property of a non-resident was to be
attacked. Mr. Biehle is undismayed and
promises to continue along the same
lines lie has been following, lie has
shown no disposition to put unnecessary
hurdship on any who make an honest ef
fort to pay, but. those who are able to
pay, those who ignore the notice sent,
those who refuse to pay and those who
are trj ing to slip out or the county and
void paying have no ritcht to feel in
jured if he goes alter them sharply. He
says lie was elected to the olllce bv Itie
people and took un oath and gave a bond
to perform the duties of the office ac
cording to law, und that is what he will
try U do and if any by reason of tlieir
own neglect or stubbornness have costs
added to the amount of taxes which they
have to pay they should blame them
selves and not the county treasurer, If
you hear any one condemning tbe treas
urer for using nil reasonable means to
collect what is due to the county it if
' safe to assume that that man is out as
I honest us he should be. llouest men
I uphold the law.

The following communication was
made public on Monday by Phil T. Lam
bert, of Kearney, chairman of tlte re
publican congressional committee of the
Sixth district:
Hon. VV. L. Oreene, Kearney. Neb.:
As tbe candidate of tlie republican party
of this district. I neither concede nor be-
,ieVW tlmt tlle fJoam.la, question is the
one Kreat lssUe of tllls Cillll);lij;ll) Ull)ll(.,
I recognize th partisan etl'orl to subor-
0inateall other issues and make
it so.
You are sup)orting a candidate for the
presidency who stands upon tho hicag
platform, and that alone, in the event ol
bis election. That platform outlines the
politics of his administration and its de
mands and promises are consequently un
isMie in the campaign. I am supporting
a candidate the policy of whose udnim-
juration if elected is outlined in tbe
..Imf,,,.,,. adonted bv the republican na-
tional convention of St. Louis, and in
which protection and reciprocity, as
well as sound money, are made distinc
tive issues.
I am w illing to meet you in joint dis
cussion, not on the one question alone,
but on all the questions embodied in
these two platforms and which consti
tute the issues now before the people.
In the meantime should your presiden
tial candidate place himself on divers
other platforms the scope of our discus
sions can be enlarged to comprehend
any new question involved. Should
this meet your views, Mr. Lambert is
authorized to represent me and make
such arrangements on my part as may
be deemed necessary. Yours respect
fully, A. E. Cadt.
The above is in reply to tho challenge
from VV. L. Oreene, the populist nomi-
Hnee for congress to debate the financial
question at ten different points in the
district and in the challenge Mr. Oreene
refers to tha financial question as the
"one great issue of the campaign." If
it is arrang'd thnt the discussions take
place the people of the towns decided on
will each have one interesting meeting
during the campaign.
An effort is being made to get the
Lu.sk fellows to come down next week
to play bull during the fair. In the
past every time an attempt has been
made to have a game of hall between
the two towns there has been so much
kicking that the game has been spoiled.
There is no disposition on the part of the
people here to do any "getting even"
but just to have a game of ball and if
the arrangement is made and the visit
ors come with the same feelings, a
pleasant time can he had, to be followed
by others in future.

bond required and the cattle were tak n

turned over to Mr. Van Tassell as di

one in which a jury can be called.
