They were unloaded at Andrews 11 n.l taken to J. W. Earnest's place 00 Running Water. County Clerk Blewett received a telegram last Thursday informing him of the death of his mother at 5 o'clock that morning. For years sho had suf fered and death was a relief to her. M. J. Oayhart was up from Mont roee to attend the fair. He has bought svrne hay down 00 the Ti. A M. which will be shipped to Ardmore, so he will have feed for his cattle. Dedrirk Nelson was up from Glen Friday and in speaking of the political situation he said that most of the repub licans in White River precinct were in line. Some were in favor of silver, but are not in favor of free trade. The funeral of Adam Morrow oc curred last Thursday afternoon, the ser vices being conducted by Rev. D. J. Clark. The deceased was between thirty-eight and thirty-nine years old, and had been here for many years. All re gret his death. --A ra"e has be.n matched to take place on the track at Harmon on Moti tV next between Kurnest's 'Sleepy Jim" and Turner's "Bell." The race was matched on Saturday before the fair races cam off and since theu con siderable money has been put up. The race will be six hundred yards, single dash. On last Thursday Constable Jake Grove brought in Harry Brown on a targe of stealing a harness, saddle, robe, etc. The warrant had been out for some time but the officers had failed to get him. A continuance was taken un til Saturday , the defendant giving bond to appear at that time. On Haturday Attorney Porter came up from Crawford to defend Brown, and after the case was opened it was adjourned until today. Ai we go to press before the hearing the result cannot be told. The activity of late in the courts on criminal matters Indicates that people do not propose to suffer at the hands of !.iw-breakers without calling the offend ers to account. There seems to be a stronger feeling among tho law-abiding, law-respecting people of the county that the laws should be enforced and viola tions thereof punished than ever before. Of course there are some who object to the enforcement of the law and say that it is useless to attempt to convict, but it is safe to conclude that such either violate or evade the law themselves or are trying to uphold some who do. All honest wen want the laws complied with or the offenders called to account. Judge Westover came to Uarrison on Thursday and held a special term of the district court for disposing of the case of Frank Zerbst, the boy horse-thief. The lad entered a plea of guilty and as near as could be learned he is but fifteen years old the court decided that he should be sent to the reform school and issued an order to that effect, and Sher iff Bartlett left with him for Kearney on Monday evening. He will remain thare until he arrives at the age of twenty one and while the discipline is very strict, if he behaves himself he will get along all right and will come out prepared to be a respectable man. It is said that he doe not even know his letters, and dur ing hii stay at the school he will receive practical education and will also be taught some trade, while the implicit obedience which will be required of him will teach him that to best enjoy the privileges of a free country it is neces sary to obey the laws. Judge Westover talked, to tlia lad la a kind and Impress . i ve manner and it is safe to predict that iu future years be will recognise the Judge as bis friend. When people get a notion that it is eroart to violate the law it to their Interest as well as to the ialarest of society that tby b called to aoeouuL for m violation of the law which Is allowed to go uupunished lira ply emboldens the perpetrator to con Setir. As Thk Jqcrwal hat entered upon an other year a great many subscriptions are due. It costs money to conduct a newspaper tlie same as it does any other busioeaa. There are hundreds of dollars due 00 subscription and other accounts which if paid would enable us to meet our bills when due. Some owe only small amounts, but many small amounts make a large sum. If you are indebted to The Jocrxal and cannot pay all due pay a portion of it now and the rest as soon si you can. Do not wait for further attic. Respectfully, Tnc Publishes. Tke I'MBty Fair. The first annual fair of the Sioux County Agricultural Society w hich was lield last week was good enough to call a success. If it was to be compared with the fairs of older and thickly set tied counties it would not have counted for much, but as a starter it was all right The rain of Friday interfered to quite an extent, the attendance would hve been much larger on that than it was on the preceding day had the weather been good. The exhibits of art, needle-work, fancy-work, etc., were much better that was expected and the the farm and garden produce loomed up far in excess of all anticipations. While most of the products were tho result of irrigation, some "dry-land" products gave evidence of what can be produced in Sioux county with very lit tle water. The committees which awarded pre miums were selected so that no partial ity should be shown aod all awards were made on the merits of the articles and the list of premiums won will be pub lished as soon as the necessary work can be done, so that no attempt will bo made to give a list of exhibitors at this time. On Friday evening a dance was held in the Woodmen's hall, which was well attended and those who participated enjoyed themselves. On account of the rain the races and base ball which were to have taken place on Friday were postponed until Saturday. In the morning it was so cold that it was not thought that a game of ball would be played, but the boys from Cottonwood who had come up for that purpose wanted a game so the players got out. Five innings were played and resulted in favor of the Har rison players, aod as it was cold, all were ready to stop. The people were good-natured and no unpleasantness occurred, and notwith standing the cold, wet weather all seem ed to enjoy themselves. In the races on Thur.-day the follow ing were winners: County trottiug and paciog race, B. L. Smuck's Col. K. Black won first money; J. II. B.irtell's Blucher, 3d; El mer Smith's Doc Hall, 3d. Free for all running race, E. F. Plumb's II u Ida took first money; C. A. Barber's Bob, 2d; F. A. Root's, Barney B. 3d. On Friday the fres for all trotting race resulted as follows: B. L. Smuck's Col. K. Black took first money; J. H. Bartell's Blucher, 2d; El mer Smith's Uoc Hall, 3d. County running race: James Earnest's Sleepy Jim, 1st mon ey; . V. Hamlin s Hess, 2d; Ueo. It. Turner's Bell, 3d. in addition to the above a pony race was run each day, but no regular en tries were made and both purses were won by outside ponies. The free for all quarter mile running race advertised was- not filled so it did not take place. In some respects the races were not conducted strictly according to rules but mistakes were taken in good part by those interested and all the fun possible got out of them. Taking the fair of this year as an ex periment there is no reason why a much better one cannot be held next year and improvements made each year and it is hoped that auch will be the aim of those interested. The committee will give notice as soon as the necessary work is done, of what the premiums on the various arti cles which received awards will be. Th next meeting of Jerry Rusk PostU. A. R , will be held on Monday, October 5, 1806. E. E. UTEKMORB, Com. The first quarterly meeting of the conference year will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Oct 10th and 11th. Ser vices on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock and Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. Pre siding Ider Julian will be present and conduct tlie services, Commissioner Johnson returned on Saturday from Omaha where he had been with cattle. He says a great change has taken place in th state on the political question. When he return ed from the state fair be firmly believed that Bryan would carry' Nebraska, but from what ha saw and hoard during his last trip ha is satisfied that the electo- ral vote of Nebraska will be cast for McKiiiley. He says that all along down through the state If a man offers to hack up his faith io Bryan with a dollar it is vary quickly covered by on owned by a ipptIt of McKiiil";" Hon. A. E. Cady, Republican Candidate for Congress, Hon. J. H. MacColl, Republican Candidate for Governor, and Hon Orlando Tefft, Republican Candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Will all be in Harrison on Friday, September Ulh to address the people 00 the political issues of the day. Ail three are before th people as candidates aod dom should miss th opportunity " ' to see them and hear what they liave to say. ' It matters not whether you "agree with them or not, it will pay you to hear them. Don't forget the date FRIDAY, SEPT. 25th. at I o'clock. PERSONAL. W. R. Smith is slowly improving and bids fair to soon be able to be out. J. B. Johnson -was up from Glen yes terday and called at this office. Mrs. E. E. Livermore is visiting rela tives and friends at Douglass, Wyo. Will Phillips was In from Highland Yesterday and called at this office. Dr. Foster, of Crawford, was doing dental work in Harrison the last of the week. Peter Wiedenfeld was in from Indian creek to attend the fair and called to see us. Miss Mabel Lowry came up from near Ardmore to attend the fair and visit her parents. F. Force waa up from Andrews on Monday and made an agreeable call at this office. A. T. Clark started on the road last evening to represent a large law pub lishing house. Mrs. J. C. Northref was called from Valentine last week by the serious ill ness of her father. Attorney R. C. Noleinan, of Alliance, made a pleasant call at this otlice while in town on Monday. has. E. Verity writes that he is now located at Sioux City, Iowa, and with the Chicago Newspaper Union. Commissioner and Mrs. Weber were the guests of County Attorney and Mrs. Uuthrie while attending the fair last week. M. J. Carroll's family arrived from ripple Creek, Colo., the last of the week, to again make their home in Sioux countv. T. B. Snyder was up from She-p creek Monday in compliance with an or der of the court to appear as a witness in the case against Frank Harris. County Treasurer Biehle has his children of school uge with hi in in town. The rain of last Friday resulted iu a freeze when it cleared off the following night. Frost has held off remarkably well this year and crops of all kinds have had an opportunity to mature. We have heard some express sur prise that so much money was devoted to the ra.-es at the county fair, while there is but a small amount to be dis tributed as premiums on exhibits. It should be considered that the entrance fees to the races made up half tho purses and the other half was made up by con tributions especially for races. Not a dollar of the funds of the society went to make up race purses. We have received from Mr. J. Fran cis, the general passenger agent of the B. A M. R. E, at Omaha, a copy of "Ne braska and Northern Kansas", undoubt edly the handsomest publication ever issued in the interest of these two states. The book contains 40 pages of interest ing information and is beautifully illus trated and well printed. A very large edition has been issued. We understand the Burlington Route intends placing a copy in the hands of every farm renter in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and adjacent suftbCN. ,vnyo. our refers woo ues.re or for friends in the east can do so by communicating with Mr. Francis. On last Friday Attorney Sullivan and Gustave Wickstrum came up from Alliance and procured a warrant in the county court for the arrest of Frank Harris, who resides in the south part of 1 . Sioux county. The complaint charged Harris with recieving and concealing stolen property, knowing the same to have been stolen. Harris had been ar rested and taken to Alliance on the same charge, but the case was dismissed there as it belonged to Sioux comity. Constable Hamlin went to Alliance Fri day night and returned Saturday with Harris, who gave bond for his appear ance on Monday.

" " "' as most 01 IDs witnesses came witnout notice from the court, A horse belonging to Treasurer Biehle went crazy from some cause yes terday aod had to be shot. A thunder shower visited this local ity last evening, something quite un usual for this time of year. Petitions are beiaf circulated in th first commissioner district asking that Fiank Tinkham be a candidate for com missioner for that district for a second term. The other two members of th board Itav each been accorded a second term and there appears to be a feeling in the first district that Mr. Tinkham is en titled to the same endorsement that ha been given to Messrs Weber and John sod. All wilt agree that during the time the board has been as it is at pres ent constituted the affairs of the county . . ,, , . . . , have been well conducted and if Mr. Tinkham is returned for another term the best interests of the people will be guarded. No other aspirant for the place has bees heard of, and that is tak en as an indication tliat the feeling in the district is that Mr. Tinkham is entitled to a re-election if he desires it Married.
