As there aeems to be no committee men for the third commissioner's distric the chairman of the county central com' mittee takes the liberty of calling a com missioner't convention to meet in Harri son, Saturday, October 5th, for the pur pose of placing in nomination one com missioner for the third district. It U e.niiiiiHinle I that the caucuses be held Wednesday, October 2nd. The apiortion inent for this convention is the same as for the county convention and entitles the precinct to representation ns follows: Rowen, 4 Runuingwaler, 2 Sheep rrek, 2 Whistle Cieek. 2 Snake Creek, a Geo. A. Phiips, Chairman. J. E. Marstkm.uk, Secretary. The Republican Convention. When Saturday l;mt dawned bright and clear the ileptiblican of Sioux county took a look: at the weather and concluded they were favored by the gods and .that the' flue weather was a sure indication of tiie opening of a successful campaign. Nooii came and the republicans of Harrison began to iookanxious. The worry in their mind was amply de picted in heir faces as they peared into the face'i of all',jwlio.b id come to Uiwn to do their weekly trading, look ing' foi any indication of Republican ism. Hut they jooxei in vain. Along about 2:0(1 o'clock they de cided that it was no me to look and wait longer, so they gathered up their ittle handfull of. men,Jand went to court-house wird. When it really began to look as if it were going to be a so-called cotiveation, then the trou ble began to brew. There wasn't anjthinff insignificant about the way it did brew when it started. The bone of contention was the nominee for Sheriff. V. A. Hes ter seemed to be the popular candi didate for the place, but the editor of The Sun for reasons of his. own, did not feel inclined to support the g-eneral favorite. This was the sig nal for a general scrimmage. Before it was concluded, the wool which flew around by toe handfulls made an Northwestern Nebraska bliz.ard seem like a summer day. It was a conced ed fact that Mr. Hester would be a strong candidate and deserved the nomination at the hands ol.tuu pa. ty but this made no difference, when weighed in the balance with personal predjudice and so Mr. Hester was con signed to oblivion hy the party he has always worked so hard to pro mote. Outside of this contention the "har mony" of the convention was undis turbed and a good reason w.is mani fested for this for whoever heard of a very serious disturbance in a grave yard?. The men on the ticket are all good men and if they can be indu:ed to run, which is doubtful, it will be a pity to saci ifice them for of course they will be sacrificed. Even the official organ of the Republi can party in Sioux county admits that. The result of theconvention is as fol lows; For Clerk and clerk of the courts, J. MatUen, for Treaiurer, J. I. Oavis (or .Sheriff, J, Eberspeeher, for Judge, J. H. ISarloll, for Supt. of Public Instru ction, Wni. Nicholson, for Surveyor, 8, R, Story, for C'ororor, W. R. Smith, After the couoty convention had lin isliil il& deliberation with the result us above, the convention for the nomina Lion of coinmisssoiier is the 3rd district called to order. This, was the occasion for another frost. W. R. bruith, who has always worked early and late for the best interest of his party, and who had a right to expect this nominat'on. was compelled to be satislied with the consolation prizie ol coronor. It wis a shrev ed (?) effort t keep Mr. Smith in line and at the sam. time give him nothing. Hut Mr. Smith and his friends will be wise enough to understand the move and will, no doubt, refusod.to bo boncoed in this manner by the party they have always worked so hard for. Homer Priddy was elected Chairmiin of the County Central Committee-iand W. H. Smoke, Secretary. Note W. II. Smoko mde a very efficient presiding officer. Elmer Smith was also "consoled," il was in the shape of secretary of the con vention. , Some people are wondering whether some other people are Republicans or Democrats. If the lorn(er; who do limy accept favors from Democrat officials. Feeling the need of a coronor on White River, W. II. Smoke was made deputy for that region. "There are no Republicans in While River precinct," was the report when looking for a committeman. J. Mottlen showed good judgement when he tried to refuse the nomination for County Clerk. He is not blind to the situation. Will a salory of 1.'0.00 a year induce a wealthy ranchmao to give up his bus iness to attend the public dutins and wor ry of Superintendent of Public Instruct ion. Post Office B. Rigelow was again retir d to private life. Of course the distin guished family would have to to repre sented on the ticket. Rural Frea Delivery. A new rulinij provij.-s that any person living on or n.j;tr the Kt;ir route and not Within the limits ol any town or wit!i:u eighty rod of a posloiliee, who desires his mail duiivervd by the carrier on the route, shall ertct a suitable box ulon;. tile roaU.-.Hb, in a manner that it, may be reached by the carrier without leaving his vehicle. Having d ine this, he mut cotify the postmaster and file a reijiiei-t that the mail be left in this box. After this the earner will deposit the mail, but at the risk of the party or parties to whom addreised. The carrier is not re quired to collect mail, but he may ac cept all mail matter on which postage U;iH been paid, and deliver it for mailing at the n -xt office reached. In lnvitit.g Lids, the government has cut on the professional bidder. In the bidders have secured hundreds of these contrucs and relet them at much lower llgures. The ruling now provides that the party securing the contract for carrying mail, must live along or close to his route and if it is carried by a person other than himself, it must be some one in his employ or by some one over whom he exercises authority. Thus one parly is prevented from securin.; numerous con tracts in his own and other localities. World-Herald. Nebraska Firsts. The first Nebraska Indians -so far as now ascertained were a branch of the Pawnees, who inhabited this country 500 or 1,000 years ago. They lived in lodges trmde of poles and sod, built on the tops of rounded hills, generally overlooking a vallev. They made pottery ofrom clay- mixed with pulverized clam shells; they opened up limestone quarries in order to get the flint from the limestone. The remains of their homes and works are found beneath three to ten feet of soil in lass, Douglas, Lansaster, Otoe and other eastern counties, somotimes with large oak tree above them. Further study of them no iv bdinar male bv the State Historical Society is expected to yield more information. The first white hum on Nebraska soil who left a clear and undisputed record of their visit were tho Malltt brothers, j Frenchmen, who in 17:59 oumu uo tiia !
