It should be born in mind by the
stock growers of Sioux county and all
the adjoiruing counties that there is an
organization known as the North-West
ern Nebraska Association of Stock men,
with its head quarters for the present
at Alliance, Nfeh. Those wishing to en
quire into the object for which this asso
ciation was organized with a view to be
coming members of it, can by writing
the sejretary, Mr. Van Boskirk at Alli
ance, Neb., will doubtless get wiiat infor
mation they wish in regard to the organ
ization and the reasons. why slock men
of this vicinity should become members
thereof. It looks as if the stock men of
Sioux county ought to organize and see
if tlje cattle rustlers can't le routed and
when caught brought to justice and le
made to ay the penalty for such crimes.
The stock industry is especially adopted
to our county and the eople in this
county ought to see to it that their own
interests are looked after.
Wlmt came near being a lxid acci
dent and a burn-out for land lord Roh
wer and possible a part of the town, hap
pened at the Harrison House last Mon
day night about eight o'clock, when Mrs.
Rohwer undertook to put out the liht
of the large Rochester lamp in the din
ing room which in some way ell to the
floor and in its desent struck Mrs. Roh
wer on one side of her face and scatter
ing oil over her bruising her face slight
ly but not seriously. It of course took
lire on the inside of the lamp and looked
at one time as if all hands would be
blown across on the other side of Jordan
but, Mr. Ruhwer, who is quite cool un
der exciting circumstances look his hand
kerchief from his pocket and picked up
the burning lamp, carried it to the bar
room, set it right side up in the wash
sink, turned the wick down wheu it soon
went out, fortunately no damage was
done. It was one of the indiest days of
the season and surely it was a narrow
escape. .
About The Airship.
Several who saw it claim to have seen
.riiUereDt colored lights, winch changed
alternately from white to red, blue and
Kretn, which eeini-d to be manipulated
by objects on the ship, and alter siganling
in this way several times, one eye wit
ness says, that an extremely bright
light shot out from either sid of the
huge monster, and that then it gradually
moved of and disapeured.
Charles T. Cofee took observations
from his wjnd mill and was so anutsed
ind, highly pleased with the spectacle
that his w ife could hardly persaude him
to come down. Several incidents of this
kind occured which are too numerous to
mention,
The above is a couple of paragraphs
clipped from, the Sunday World-Herald
which contained a special dispatch from
Harrison, Neb.', giving a detailed acount
of the air-ship it claimed passed over this
place one day last w eek, and w hich has
been seen in So many places at the same
time throughout the United States. We
would be inclined to doubt the truth of
the statement were it not for the fact
that one of our reputable citizens had
taken a astronomical view of it himself,
from tlie top of a w ind mill tower. The
World-Herald contained a whole column,
but for want of space we were unable to
print the entire article.

THE JOURNAL.
Harrison, Nebr. )
April ltt, 18UT.
An old Sioux county veteran and life
long democrat notes with glowing pride
the steady, forward and ever onward
march of the free silver cause, which ha
ever been a link in the chain otrue demo
eracy, while revelling in secret over
the bright prospects of our country, and
ripht in our midst a new star shines forth
viz : Thk Sioux Cocsty Journal chang
ing its dusky garb to one of the purest
white. We were informed that the hero
to occomplish this great work hailed
from the land of the Kiotes (S. D.) but
on inquiiy we 11 nd one of our own sons
from the hanks of the Platte, w ho is
to guard the future policy of The Jocr
nai. Yes, old Nebraska is never second
in her patriotism, but is always ready
to give her most cherished sons to the
cause of democracy and free silver which,
we believe is in the interest of the farm
er, labores, the mechanic, etc. Now dear
Mr. EJitor here's to success; may. your
paper ever glisten with the radiance of
the cause which it is championing and
may the peel of Its silver tongus be
heard over the entire state of Nebraska)
and especially In our own county.
