There is one very'notlclable differ ence between Webster county this year and the counties between here and Grand Island and Lincoln aud that in in tho condition of the crops. The farther one gets away from Webster county tho pooror the crops. Alfalfa aud corn shows the lack of rain and the country is actually Nuffering for moisture. The grass Is short and brown and the general appearance of things is discouraging. It wits quite aohange for us accustomed as we have been to seeing corn six and eight feet high around here to sco it only knee hlah. We look for Webster to be the banner county at the state fair this fall. This editor was very much pleased nt the outcome of the state convention at Grand Inland. Wo were very much pleased at the harmony that prevailed -there. No attempt was made so far as we could see to utr personal griev ances or steam roller anyone The leaders went in perfect accord and de termined to do only those tilings which were for the best interests or tho state and tlio party. The bitter ness of the pievious convention had all worn away unci we were ft lends once more. Every delegate was good uaturcd and cheerful and all wero pleased with the pence and friendship that predominated. The dominant Idea which controlled evory action of the convention was the greatest good to tho greatest number. Tho plat form adopted is constructive in every particular. The candidates arc men of well known rcpututfou and excell ence of diameter. The convention was as near absolute haiiuouy as it is possible for any convention to be The outlook for democratic success in Nebraska this year is very bright iudeed-' The party presents a united front to all comers add th'cre is the very boH feeling existing in every democratic camp in the state. The Nebraska plutfoim is sound aud also progressive. It will appeal to every thoughtful voter, it satisfies the most enthusiastic The republican purty is split vslde open aud both factions are all at seaa Neither faction knows just what it wants to do except down tWe other faction. Both factions acknowledge that they have no hopes of carrying the election but they arc eager .to galu Control of (lie party machinery for tho next contest. The people of Nebraska have confi dence in the democratic party because that party has madegood in the legis lature, lias redeemed every pledge and ha shown its ability to produce real beneficial legislation. Now that the Chautauqua is passed and gone we cati examlue It dispass ionately to see if it came up to our ex- -peotatlotis. We are confident that the geueial verdict aside f mm tho initial performance is tliut the chautauqua made good. There was much to en tertain and much to Instruct and this community is the belttr otf by reason oftheKHU ehnutuuquu. The attend ance whs very gratlftiug. All bills were paid in full and there was enough money to take eaie of the tlellelt of last year. We have, no fault to tlud with tho present committee on .the selection of talent because they gave its an excelU nt program this year yet we feel that one year with another there would be hu bdvuntago iu en larging the membership of the corn mi It ee. We are an agricultural peo pl " rl Mve. farmer qi the com- lailttee would be of material assistance In selecting talent that would be of direct benefit of the farmers. The professional men also should bo re presented on Mhls committee. This comiultloo should be largo enough to be In actual touch with our vuiied in terests and tliluking. A Trlt en Elm Sticet Kim Street Is it long tangle of trees, bushc, fences, garden patches atffl houses, of rather tnode&t pretensions for the most part. The sidewalk on tho west side of tho street Is continu ous, and one can sco it, when upon it, in a stretch of several blocks, but with the exception of Mr. Cutler' losidonce and thn lots Immediately north, thete Is no effort at anything like an extend ed lawn. cumin's This placo Is really very noticeable on tills stroet because of the flue well kept lawn. One beautiful sycaniote tree, perhaps, the finest in the city, is handsome enough to please anybody's taste. Two box ciders, standing, un fortunately, a little too near each other guard the entrance to the grounds and spread their cooling shadows over the closely mowed front yard. Mr. Cutter formerly had an Iron fence in front of his residence, but with true civic pa triotism he has removed this, although it was doubtless the best fence on the street, WUI.I.IIKANDT'S Just now this placo is most interest ing to us because of the chicken yard in tlio rear. We have seen advertise ments boa's clng of tlio money to be made from chickens on a city lot. Carl Wullbraudt, on n tract of less than fifty feet square, Is illustrating what may be done in this respect. lie has three hundred chickens, all nicely and securely cooped in a dozen coops, and the chickens show the result of careful treatment under cleanly and healthful conditions, even though they occupy so little space. Anconas, Rhode Is land Reds and White Orpingtons arc shown especial favor by Carl. With a little experience, Carl will be able soon to show what can be done on a larger scale. He converts seventy-five percent of the eggs lie puts in his in cubator aud his hens into healthful, pi ofltablc chickens. This is a good average The Chief expects iu the near future to write up the various chicken yards of the city. Wo have some enthusiastic poultry men aud a compurisou of their methods and re sults should be of iutctoit ami value, The tallest mountain asli iu the city adorns the grounds of Mrs. KM Fry's home. Mrs. John (J. Potter probably planted this tree when Iho place whs her residence. The building north of Crablll's barn is, perhaps, the oJdestrsJuY'ce iu the city, .sit wus' built 1iynarney Swift, the first lumber dealer of lied Clpud. Ills lumber yard occupied the site of the barn. On the oast sldeof the street Dr. Cook resides in a house in 1873 by this sumo Barney Swift. The house north occupied by Mrs Fry built a little later by John O. Potter tho Hol land house was represented by usmall building used for saloon aud bakery purpose. The building in which Mrs Williams resides was erected by Thus. J. Ileal in 1871. These are the only pioneer residences on the street. We must not forget to mention the very pretty lawn of Mrs. G rice's at tho extreme north of the street on the west side. This shows what an in dustrious and tasteful woman Can do to make a street attractive. Kim Street does not show to advant age at this tlms of the year. Iu the early summer it takes the lead of all tho streets in the richness and variety of its flowers. But the flowers have generully ceased to blossom, and the ragged bushes are all that now meets the eye Well kept lawns with high trimmed trees are a more lasting pleas ure than (lowering shrubs Cultivate the latter by all means, Jbut they should not be in the frout yard. Klin street would look better, were all its fences converted into kindling wood and nails. lone Albright Don Saunders Helen " John Wittwer Mrs Arch Boieu Miss Hot lie Lilly Klleti Tompkins Stella lladley Irina (Jiliiies Miss Cot 1 1 tig MI-h Phelps Ileitha Canney Mils Orn K'napp " Alice Pope 11 ltlaiich Cox Win Crnbill h.
