the State convention should he
made soon.
If the crop season holds out as it
Inis sturted in (uud it looks that way
now) I lie next Nebraska State fair
will be a hummer.

tion will be held at St. Louis, June

^ The irrigating ditches ought to
serve a good purpose this year jn
taking care of the surplus water.
They say it is a poor rule that will
not work both wins, and so it is
with the ditches.
Secretary Piper has made a good
officer and should he renominated
He has made a splendid record and
perhaps of all the stale officers Is
most deserving of a second term
lie will no doubt be re nominated
by acclimation.
The crop of candidates from
Douglaa county this season is about
as thrifty as the grain crop over the
state. They must have sprouted
with the first planting and may get
blighted before the season is over.
Some of them seems to have been
nipped a little by tbe frosts alrsady.
The weather reporter for the Neb
raska Farmer is n little off his base
• in reporting tbe condition of Sher
man county. He says. “It is too
windy and hot for small grain."
Tbe fact is it has been cool and wet,
juat the condition that will make
the small gran stool out and grow
rapidlv. Samples of small grain
have been brought iu that will
meusure eighteen inches in length.
Corn is neurlv all planted anil a
great deal of it is up.
The ease of tin* #112,000 bonds

Shims of the United States federal
court in favor of the purchaser who
brought suit to recover said interest.
Valley county voted and issued
said bonds, and add them uud used
the proceeds to pay otl'hei ftidebied

a bit of law to litem that may be of

This office received a pleasant call ;
last Tuesday evening from 1). W . |
Reed andd, T. Hogan, of Omaha, j
who are now traveling over the
state in the interest of John M.
Thurston, the United States Senator
from Nebraska, and who are evi
dently fixing up political fences for
some of the most prominent candi
dates for state offices. These gen
tlemen have nothing but good j
words for our western candidates, j
Jack McCall for governor, and In-1
formed us that he will get a good
following from the Omaha delega
tion. They ulso tiling that if
Mickeljobn receives the nomination
lie will make a good race, and if
elected an excellent officer. Doug
ins county, in tbeir opinion, will
tie divided on many of the candi
dates on the state ticket, and in
fact all but Churchill, who seeks
reuomination for the office of at
torney general. Douglas county
seems to have a candidate for nearly
every office on the ticket, but it
seems that Churchill will bo the
only one from that county who can
cum a solid delegation to the state
convention. Messrs Keen and
Hogan arc active members of the
Nebraska Republican Club and
seem very anxious to get up the
strongest possible ticket in the
field and one that every loyal repub
lican cun support, and that will meet
with general approval by the pco
lilt*
A terrible cyclone swept through
the northeastern part of Kansas
and southeastern Nebraska last
Sunday which did great damage and
resulted in the loss of many lives and
i jury to many people. Many who
escape instant death are maimed for
life the storm covered a large scope
of country and several small towns
through which it passed were com
pletely demolished. The storm
crossed the Nebraska line cast of
Preston, and passed through Preston
and Full City. At both these places
considerable damage was done. In
the country districts the distruction
of property was equally great. A
specal from Falls City says that four
persons were killed und a number of
houses dashed into kindling wood.
Judge Dundy's fine forest which he
had preserved since the settlement
of ttie country was laid low. The
Hintons park one mile south of the
city was completely destroyed. All
the buildings in the para was reduc
ed to kindling wood and two-thirds of
the trees were torn up by the roots.
Farm houses and barns in its path
were blown down and people were
compelled to flee for their live*.

Why McKinley is so strong with
the people Is neatly told by the
Beatrice times. Here it is. “Mc
Kinley is both (he man and the
platform, one and the same, indi
visible, concrete, and in the abstract; j
that is what makes him strong. You
remember before the whirlwind of
IH02 the Democracy preached that
high tariff was the cause of every
ill or want or disaster that happened
to mankind in the United Stales,
and .McKinley was the apostle there
of and demanded a change, a
change with a thousand tongues
and pens, '('lie change was made
and the crash came. Now the
farrncrthaf held his wheat fora low
tariff policy, and t-2 per bushel, and
the workman that flew the track lie
cause hi» dinner pail was to cost
fi cents more under the McKinley
faritr law, are both for McKinley
and turilf; for the one lias sold his
wheat at less than a dollar a bushel,
and the other liar, no grub to put in
u nickel pail even."
A lady asked us whether eti
quette require* one to knock nt the
door of an editor's sanctum before
entering. We hasten to reply. If
you are coming to pay your sub
scription or bring in a nice juicy
item of news, don't atop to knock
but just walk right in as if you
owned the place. If, on the other ;
hand, you are out on a collection j
tour, you should make ttie fact
known through the window, and
then knock at the door until the
editor opens it. You muv sink
down from exhaustion before lie
does so, but you will be adheritg to
the printing office etiquette and
that ia bound to please the average
editor.—Seward Blade.
Seldom doe* it happen that na
ture pour* out such an abundance
of moisture upon our portion of the
earth, and nt the same time distri
hutiug it so equally over all locali
ties, as has been the case with our
April rainfall for l89h. From first
to last it was a pleasant succession
of sunshine and soft winds that have
set all Nebraskans to remen lacing
of ye olden time when the corn
stalk grew into niplings, and the
potatoes elbowed one another out
of the ground.—Nebraska Farmer.
Suits aggregating a million dol

Backward. turn backward, O, lime. If you will,
CMy'- v McKinley or give, us til* bill;
Kindle the tires In the furnace again,
KurnUh more work to our luborlng ineq;
We aru so weary of Cleveland and Hoke,
Weary of sninkn-starks emitting no smoke
Weary of spindles that nobody spins
What ure our sins, mister, what are our sins?
Backward, roll backward, O’ scroll of the fates.
Show ns why Cleveland once carried the
slates;
Bring us the men who In drover believed,
Tell us just how they were caught and de
ceived.
What. In the nature of popular wrong.
What have we done to be punished so long?
Mways the same when democracy wins
What ure our sins, mister, what are our sin?
Ever so often fresh converts are made,
Voters who howl for free whisky and trade;
Don't give a darn for the future expense.
Howl without reason und vote without sense.
1'hutwas the cause only four years ago.
Cleveland elected and four years of woe.
Those who were for him are crying "enough
isn't It tough, mister, isn't it tough?
