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

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.

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

Men do not take off- their hat3 to each
other. They nod. 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. ,
