H $1.60 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. > ePUbiicanl ? gi g . fl f H We learu that Benkelmau is H likely soon to have another news- H paper. It is to be of the Populist H persuasion , and it is stated that the H irrepressible F. Berfc Risley will H be the publisher. H Annin thinks there is no doubt H but that Tim Sedgwick of the York M Times and Frank Simmons of the 1 Seward Reporter Avill become post al masters of their respective cities. B We hope Annin is at least a son M of a prophet. m The York Times' idea of politi cs cal ethics is to take everything you M can get and give the opposition M only what you can't keep them from getting. The Times is always I ways sturdy if not laying much M stock on being "f-a-i-r-ivr" . But H it's right to be fair in politics. It's H right to be generous. It's right B to be frank and vigorous. B Up in Dundy county they are H agitating the question of abolish es ing the office of county attorney Bi and returniug to the district attor- B ney system. This result is to be B desired in the sparsely settled fl I western counties , and The Tri- H btjne hopes the movement may B ] take definite and , positive form. B | There is nothing of effectiveness Bt to Jose and much of economy to Hj gain. B Colonel Phillips of the India- B nola Reporter vrote a number of B amusing items , last week , while B he was resting between sessions B of court : Among other things he B -gives it out cold and clammy that B hi ? ? pcia.l fm < l commercial love for m ' McCookites is something past un- H derstanding for tenderness and B depth ; but that his hatred of us B collectively is diabolically ugly. B | Really , Colonel , we can't help be- B ing so lovable and attractive. We H | are constructed after that simili- H ] itude. If you but love us little , Bj love us long. H The boldest man in America is B Washington Hesing , theornamen- B taL and rather useful postmaster of B the city of Chicago. Mr. Hesing B stood up in a public meeting the B other day and said : "Joliet has B more prisoners aB the result of B millinery bills and dress-makers' B accounts and the greed of wives B than it has from the effects of the B saloons. The keeper of the Joliet B penitentiary tells me that 67 per B cent of the inmates are there be- B cause of the greed of their wives" . m The Honorable Mr. Hesing is said B to be an active candidate for the , m office of mayor. It is fortunate B for him that municipal suffrage H has not yet been granted to woman -in the state of Illinois. Lincoln I Journal. * A GOOD LETTER. H | PROM THE CLKRK OK THE CIRCUIT COURT.

' This year is going to be the far mer's year. ' Ulara Hanlein was a Driftwood visitor , fore part of. the week. The protracted meetings will begin on Sunday , having been .put off till then for various reasons. S. C. King and J. S. Modrell have each stowed away several tons of ice in safe keepiug till picuic time. Tnose valentines came right on time , but iu some cases the "hand writ" was not very cleverly dis guised. Clara LeHew , whose term of school is nearly completed , will re sume teaching in the West ward in town. A. R Reeves is contemplating some necessary improvements about the farm , and the removal to the coast will be postponed for the present. A few years since we set out a tree , as was thought in a suitable place , the roots of which have grown with remarkable rapidity and apparently in one direction a cistern and its well nigh ruined the latter. The social at Box Elder for the benefit of the church was a most gratifying success. Upward of 200 tickets were sold in advancecover- ing a large territory. Those hav ing the affair in charge are to be congratulated for their tireless ef forts and Avork. The building on such occasions is entirely too smalt to accommodate such a crowd of people with any degree of comfort , still everything passed off very well considering , and the paetor and family feel grateful to the many strangers and others for their individual assistance. The twenty-first birthday of Ben and Eliza Johnson was celebrated in a very happy manner at their home , on Tuesday evening a week , when about 25 of the neighbor hood's sons and daughters , all at tired in their finest fix ups , com pletely surprised the young people. The usual games were apart of the evening's entertainmentwhile mu- Bic , which is always a special feat ure at the Johnson home , pleased everyone. Candy and nuts in va riety and abundance completed the jollity of the occasion. At this time of year and with the soil in its present unfavoiable condition for crops in general , irri gation is apt to be thought of as a Eood scheme if only for a few acres.In looking over our agri cultural monthly we noticed with what pains it tried to impress upon its readers the advisability of irri gation , but no very practical ideas were there expressed. At the same time it seems possible even with our limited supply of water to mois ten a few acres that would prove to be the means of a livelihood at least. Some years ago one of the most conspicuous parts of a California land agent's advertisements was "no irrigation required" , but from a personal inspection in that local ity the writer was amazed to see what grand results were to be ob tained by windmill farming , after many settlers had been forced to leave. The meanest country in the world to farm is the one that produces on uu average but two or threw good crops out of ten. It is not only discouraging but an ex- { liULrllL ' ' -1 . ' ' ' ' " ' ' i' ' , ' " "V pensive following. Speaking of California , that gpal of so many discpnteuted people , we believe that no larger nor more luscious fruit is grown than in the Sacra mento valley , but as every one knows who has been there , it is the uuhealthiest place imaginable. In that locality of the land of sunshine the couutry is low aud marshybut is , nevertheless , densely populated by the oddest mixture of white people ple any where to be found. The majority of them are anything but pleased with their surroundings. Nebraska with her rigorous winters and occasional hot blasts from the south in Bummer , when one's brain seems to fricassee with the ther mometer hovering above 100 in the shade , is healthy after all. So when this idea of irrigation is pro perly understood and developed a more satisfied and prosperous people ple will not exist than "we uns" of the west. FAIRVIEW. J. E. Logue and Geo. Rowland are keeping bach. The people in these parts are attending meeting at McCook , this week. The Christian Endeavor at Col lege Hill school house is still in working order. Fairview Sunday school is in creasing in attendance. 44 en rolled , aud 35 in attendance last Sunday. Martha Battershall attended the Teachers' meeting ac Iudianola , last Saturday , and reported a good time. The parties interested in build ing a house of worship are being encouraged by the response of the people whom they have called upon. The farmers are getting ready to strike when the iron "is hot. Profit ing by past experience they will be first in the fray and last to re treat. All the different forms of skin troubles from chapped hands to eczema and indolent ulcers can be readily cured b/DeWitt's \V itch Haz el Salve , the great pile cure. A. M Millen. ASH CREEK. W. P. Burns has been courting ( on the jury ) the past two weeks. Laura and Emma Neumann vis ited Orrie and Pearl Williams , Sunday. W. P.

Warfield received a telegram , Monday , announcing the serious , probably fatal , illness of her father in Warren Co. , Illinois. Next Friday will be the last day of the Ash creek school. An in teresting and appropriate enter tainment is being prepared for the afternoon. A torpid liver means a bad complexion , bad breath , indigestion and frequent headaches. To avoid such companions take DeWitt's Lit tle Early Risers , the famous little pills. A. NlcMillen. . PLEASANT RIDGE. Leslie Jones attended church in Mc Cook , Sunday. O. E. Boon and family .visited at James Harais' , Sun day. Several persons in this vicinity were summoned as wisnesses in the Kelley- Peters case. We had a full house at the lyceum , Friday night and the visitors helped us on the debate and program. The ques tion debated was : Resolved , That Con science is not a True Moral Guide. C. S. Singer , affirmative ; Mrs. Jas. Harris , negative. The judges decided in favor of the affirmative. Question for this ev ening : Resolved , That We Have the Power and Means at Hand to Overcome the Drouth in Nebraska. O. E. Boon , affirmative ; C. S. Ferris , negative. Mr. Ward L. Smith of Frederickstown , Mo. , was troubled with chronic diarrhoea for over thirty years. He had become fully satisfied that it was only a question of a short time un til he would have to give up. He had been treated by some of the best physicians in Eu rope and America but got no permanent re lief. One day he picked up a newspaper and chanced to read an advertisement of Cham berlain's Colic , Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy. He got a bottle of it , the first dose helped liim and its continued use cured him. For sale by ! , . W. McConnell & Co. , Druggists. BARTLEY. J W. Dolan of Iudianola was in town , Monday. Milt.

Miss Bird Happersettof Iu dianola was in charge of the bank dur ing their absence A number of Charles Sentance's young friends made him a surprise visit , Wed nesday evening , it being the occasion of his twenty-first birthday. We join with his associates in wishing him many more as happy as this. A very pleasant reception was given at the residence of S. Bentley , last Thurs day evening , in honor of A. E. Morris , who was soon to leave for Indiana. The pleaeure of the event was marred only by the thought that one of the company would meet with it no more. J. H. Stephens made a • • blind" trade , the other day , for a saddle pony for his son Bert. When the boy went to get it he was greeted with an ear-splitting "haw-ee-haw" from the animal pointed out as belonging to him , and they lost no time in effecting another trade. Joe says , "If you love me don't call me'Balaam' " . The work of light fingered gentry in this vicinity has become so obnoxious of late that desperate measures are being proposed with a view to stopping it. The stores of S. W. Clark and J. A. Curlee were entered one night last week and a pair of shoes appropriated at the latter place. They also visited Wm. Parrish's larder and annexed a ham which Will needed in his business.

Many married women ' complain of their hnsbands' incivility I in neglecting to treat them with the i same politeneBS they show to their friends. Let all married men remember ' that marriage does not exempt them | from raising their hats both at meeting and saying goodby to their wives. This oversight has often been the canse of a I' ' spirit of rebellion in the yonng wife , ! who sees in it a reason for fancying that ' her husband has ceased to oare for her ' or only regards her as a belonging to | whom any of the civilities of life are unnecessary because she is his. In the same way a wife should foster all those pretty little ways of making him feel that he is still her Prince Charming. , Love is bo often kept alive by these out ward observances that are the harbin gers of refinement that it behooves all to practice them.
