Jim Earnest arrived last week from
tli south with a car-load of young cat
tle. They were unloaded at Andrews

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,

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.

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

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.

A horse belonging to Treasurer
Biehle went crazy from some cause yes

A thunder shower visited this local

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

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

the district is that Mr. Tinkham is
entitled to a re-election if he desires it
