pt Jttloofe pittift. By F. M. KIMMELL. <= ■ ■ — $1.60 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. ALL HOME PRINT. The politicians are looking for ward to the result of tomorrow’s county convention with considera ble interest at least. Ed. J. Mock promises to revive the Alma Record soon. He has replevined his outfit, and the case goes to the district court. That waB very keen sarcasm— the sending by Denver of aid for the starving laborers of metropoli tan New York. Very keen. The president has issued his proclamation opening the Chero kee strip to settlement at the hour of 12 o’clock noon, central stand ard time, Saturday, September 16. The county democrats seem to be a little slow or backward about their convention. Perhaps it will not be called until after the repub licans have made their nomina tions. A case of rape in each of Neb raska’s large cities, this week. Judge Lynch might profitably move liis seat of operation north of the Mason and Dixey line, and west of the Muddy, for a season. A little unceremonious hemp stretching might prove efficacious. The excited populace shot about a, ton of unsympathetic lead into a poor dog’s anatomy, down at Lin coln, the other day, while laboring under the hallucination that the animal was mad; and then the Call added insult to death by claiming that the canine died from natural causes! Nobndy need starve to death in this country or suffer food and elothing if all the persons who can secure employment will work and if the people who have abnndant means to aid those who are really tn distress and who are worthy objects of charity will do their duty and exemplify the fellowship and philanthropy which the great American nation professes. The cause of silver has been given a very sombre optic in the lower house of congress—the ma jority for the repeal of the Sher man act, and against free coinage at any ratio, being over a hundred. The effect on the senate is expect ed to be as tremendous as the size of the majority against silver was unexpected. But the cause of sil ver will be valiantly fought in the .senate. -_ The Republican state convention which meets in Lincoln, Thursday morning, October 5, at 10 o’clock, will be composed of 958 delegates, of which Red Willow county is entitled to nine members. There is a recommendation that no prox ies be allowed in the convention. One associate judge of the supreme court and two members of board of regents of state university will be nominated. The Philadelphia Times advo cates a state bank circulatinn as a “temporary currency,’’intended for the “immediate neighborhood” of the banks. Nothing could better describe the currency as furnished by these banks when they were “on earth before.” The currency was indeed “temporary,” and in fact transitory. Its value might vanish between sunset and sunrise. It was also limited in its circula tion; it was worthless a hundred miles from home, even while its temporary existence continued. Any citizen who remembers 1857 can comprehend the beauties of a “temporary” and “limited” bank currency. NORTH DIVIDE NUBBINS. Still in the ring. P. J. Farrell expects shortly tc leave for the Pacific coast. Tom Scofield is hustling arounc betimes and putting up considera ble hay. Not much of a chance to hoot melons, this year.

Johnson and family are occupying Walter Hickling’s place during the latter’s absence at the world’s fair. James Brady has been discing in some fall wheat, this week. The ground seems rather dry for that kind of work. A number from here attended the “hoe down” at Gockley’s,a few evenings ago. Of course North Divide’s best fiddler was there. Mr. Isaac Newton, North Div ide’s buffoon, is going to have a right smart bunch of corn, if the frost does not come too soon. Miss Winnie Sexton, who has been enjoying a visit at the home of the Misses Hanlein, returned to her home in Bartley, close of last week. Fred Carter began work in his broom corn, this week. He is starting thus early in order to avoid having so large a force of hands at one time. J. S. Modrell is making prepar ations to take care of his broom corn. He has in about eighty acres, this year, the greater part being on new ground. A. F. Keeves has been rummag ing around up in Frontier county gathering together some machin ery which he had disposed of to some unreliable party there. Mr. Sherman, who has been oc cupying the Groves place, left for Iowa, a few days ago, driving over land. He expects to return in the spring, and hopes to find the crop prospects in a more flourishing condition. Connie. It is now stated that President Cleveland is afflicted somewhat like General Grant and his condi tion is a source of grave apprehen sion. An operation was performed on his mouth and nose, a few days since, for a disease thought to be of a cancerous nature. Thebe will be an inter-state ir rigation convention held in Salina, Kansas, September 28th. Irriga tion is extending into the country east of the Kockies in earnest When it comes to the monument al in straddling Senator David B. Hill takes no back seat. ESTABLISHED 1885. INDIANOLA ITEMS.
