T*o people of the Middle Loup had (
a seen** of high life, as in “olden time. ' ?
It seem? from the evidence that one J.}
Mortensen had Iteen in the habit of
periodical sprees, in w bich he b- c sm*
very abusive to his family. Not long
since he got on one of these sprees and
proceeded to clear the ranch
Ills wife took refuge with a neighbor
to save her life. The community feel
ing that kind of work had gone on long
enough, decided to take the law into
their own hands with the vie* of meet
ing out adequate punishment for Lbe
occasion. Ihe old time remedy was
decided upon. A dozen or more of
some of the best citizens visited him
last Thursday night and administered
fifty two lashes with a whip. As a
re-olt ^“regulators” were brought in
to Judge Armour's court yesterday and
fined five dollars each —Cutter County;

Premiums on Farm Products.
No state fair in the western circuit
offers so large an amount in premiums
for farm produce as the Nebraska State
Fair. T wo thousand dollars for county i
collec tive exhibits and more than Sedoj
for individual exhibits makes a total of'
more than $2,500.00 in prerainms for I
farm products, as the various exhibits!
included in a county collective exhibit j
can also be entered in the name of the
grower tor premitms in the various tors
In addition, the State Fair management
guarantee a premium of $10000 for all
county collective exhibits which covers
a prescribed space and that score not
less than eight hundred points out of a
possible sixteen hundred.
As all eounty collective exhibits are
transported to and from the fair free,
this $100.00 insures the payment of the
necessary expense incurred in making
such an exhibit/
No entry fee is required to make ex
hibits and all premiums are paid in foil
without discount. The first premium
for county collective exhibits is $30000;
the remaining $1,700.00 is pro rated ac
cording to the 'score of each exhibit,
with the guaranty of $100 00 to each
collective exhibit, as before mentioned.
The Agricultural building on the
State Fair grounds will accomodat*
about twenty-five county .collective ex
hibits and already one-half of fk* space
has been applied for. Right now is tee
time to select specimens of grasses aad
small grains for such exhibits and comi
ty agricultural societies or individuals
intending to make collective exhibits
should at once make application for
space.
