t By F. M. KIMMELL. OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER. Largest Circulation in Red Willow Co. Subscription , $1 a Year in Advance True Mother of Her People. - Henry Labouchere , in Truth , utters a tribute to Queen Victoria , a tribute al the more retnarlcable because of his democratic ideas and frank criticisms of royalty : "Among all her millions of subjects , " he says , "there are but few who will not mourn for her loss as for one of their own household. Nor will the mourners be found among her own subjects alone. It is not too much to sav that never in the history of the world has a single death caused such universal grief. Alike in happiness and sorrow she lived a life beyond reproach , without thought of self and unreservedly devoted to the duties of the hour. Although occupying per haps the proudest position ever filled by a woman and never wanting in a certain queenly dignity her tastes , habits , demeanor meaner and even her dress were marked by the rarest simplicity. "She has been indeed the mother oT her people and as a mother she will be mourned. In all the affairs of state she manifested the same wisdom that in spired her private life , nor did her own country alone enjoy the fruits of her ex perience and sagacity. Through her kindred abroad her influence has been felt in continental politics , always on the side of peace , and in at least one crisis she is known to have rendered service to the whole of Europe. Her sudden and lamentable break-down was due entirely to worry and overwork. She has been greatly distressed by events in South Africa and by domestic griefs. Events in Life of Queen Victoria. Born , May 24 , 1819. Died , January 22 , 1901. Crowned , June 28 , 1838. Wedded to her cousin , Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha , 1840. Her fatal illness dated from the time Lord Roberts informed her that the Boer war could not terminate soon. Queen Victoria was four feet eleven * * * " inches tall and absolutely refused to con fess her weight. She has had nine children , seven of whom are living. The queen received $1,925,000 per an- .nnni. She had been a widow for thirty-six years , during which time she never wore colors or danced , except once. Until recent years she arose every morning at 7 o'clock. She always breakfasted privately , but her dinners were ceremonial in character. WHILE D. E. Thompson is not secur ing the support of the politicians in his candidacy for the senatorship to any large extent , it is noteworthy to observe the staunch support given him by the businessmen of the state , and especially of his home city Lincoln. THE Meiklejohn boom for senator is suffering no diminution with the recur ring balloting , but on the contrary shows a healthy growth of a substantial char- acter. There are not a few aspirants who are entirely willing to trade their chances for "Gentleman George's. " THERE are certain indications of a hopeful nature that irrigation will , in the not distant future , receive an impetus in this section of the state , much to be desired , and one which will mean large things to South-Western Nebraska. When the time conies that the spring and fall flow of the Republican river is utilized over its fertile acres , it will be a great day for this part of Nebraska. Visions of sugar factories , profitable wheat raising etc. appear on the horizon. There is a large day for South-Western Nebraska yet , when her natural wealth and opportunities are rightly divided and utilized. THE effort to unload sundry buildings onto the state for normal school purposes seems to be destined to defeat. If the legislature decides to authorize the building of another normal school under state control , it ought in justice to place the building somewhere in the western part of the state , and not down about Lincoln or other localities in the eastern part of the state , where they now have more schools than they need or can sup port. It seems to be difficult for the average Eastern Nebraskan to believe that the state of Nebraska extends more than a few miles west of the Missouri , when it is a matter of appropriation for state institutions of anv kind.

BARNETT LOflBER CO. SUGAR BEETS AND IRRIGATION. Farmers should see C. H. Meeker-and arrange for their beet seed early. Every farmer should try an acre or two ; John Whittakers' beets paid him at the rate of $30 per acre , last year , with out irrigation. A volunteer club should be started among the young people of the town , for the purpose of guaranteeing the farmers plenty of help to thin their beets in June. Pekin and Peoria , 111. , schools are furnishing plenty of help , for thinning beets , and the young folks enjoy the work , as well as making a little spend ing money. Moisture in beet cultivation is very essential for a satisfactory development of the plant. In irrigated districts efforts should be made to create very elongated beets , that reach the lower strata , where they find the requisite moisture ; the varieties of beets used should have exceptional leaf growth , under which circumstances the soil is protected against excessive evaporation. When beets are planted very close to gether , they protect each other from the influence of drying winds. The Fremont Tribune says : "The banner run of the season made at the Ames factory was 296 tons of beets sliced in twelve hours. The run for twenty-four hours was 570 tons. An ex traordinary effort is being made by the managers of the Ames sugar beet factory to induce the growing of beets. A letter has been sent to quite a number of farm ers in the vicinity of South Omaha offer ing 54 a ton for beets regardless of tester or purity. It appears from the samples of the beets raised there last summer that the soil is especially adapted to the raising of sugar beets. The new and more liberal contracts for sugar beets being offered by the Grand Island fac tory will , it is thought , result in an acre age of four or five thousand acres for the factory next year.

The man who lives for himself alone is apt to be neglected by the world at large. Many per > ons have had the experience of Mr. Peter Sherman of Nnrtli Str.il ford , N.
