Chadron Journal.
There is war on in Dawes county be
tween two factions of the republican
party and in which THE N EWS of
that place takes a prominent part.
The NEWS accuses Geo.Ecklesa , promi
nent republican , with receiving § 700 of
"boodle" from the state committee to
influence voters , and publishes a letter
from J. A. Ilabegjrer and L. A. D. to
sustain its position.
Many of our citizens are hoping that
the rumor now going the rounds , that
the Illinois Central will purchase the
Short Line , is true.Ve hope they
will get it , for if they do they will
never be satisfied until the road is ex
tended to the coast and we all know
what this would mean for this city. II
would herald the dawn of bettor ,
brighter days. O'Neill Frontier.
If a stamped envelope is spoiled in
addressing , the purchaser is entitled tea
a return of postage on presenting it at
the office where the envelope was
bought. It seems strange that the
United States postoffice department
does nothing to keep the people in in
formation , jilso call attention to the
time and expense saved by the use in
certain cases of the double or return
postal card. Not one person in fifty ,
perhaps knows that a letter can be re
called by telegram at any time before
it is actually delivered to the one ad
dressed. These advantages should not
be reserved for the few who have
learned bv chance. Ex.
Say , reader , picture in your mind , if
you can , the hideousness of the treason
able skunk who would make the asser
tion and it was made many times be
fore election that a vote against the
republican ticket was a vote for Spain.
This remark was made , as we say ,
many times , but never , no neveruttered
by a loyal American citizen. The re
mark was the utterance of a tory spy ,
of an enemy of this country , of a tad
pole for the Jew Shylocks of Europe
who own the republican party of the
United States. The anarchists that
were hung in Chicago in 1887 were
loyal patriots compared to the miser
able paltroon that would make such a
remark. Wahoo Democrat.
We are going to spend twenty mill
ions of dollars for a whole lot of valu
able property. We will invest our
money in islands and savages. Twenty
millions for the Philippines and every
thing therein contained. We will get
eight millions of people of various colors
and assorted sizes , millions of acres of
land on which we can raise cigarettes
and centipedes , a continuing revolution
that commenced with the dawn ot
history and will last until the day of
judgment. We will get the cholera ,
the black plague , small-pox , leprosy ,
the whole list of malarial fevers and
also the pestilence that walketh in
darkness and the destruction that wast-
eth at noonday. Nobody ever got so
much for so little money. The depart
ment stores can't hold a candle to us ,
and the ninety-nine-cent fellows aren't
in it. Our hired men who are nego
tiating this trade say that when the } *
get the islands , they will make them an
open door for all nations. The Non
conformist does not favor this , for if
the door is always open the poor Phil
ippines inav catch cold and besides we
may not be able to keep an open door.
The natives may close and lock it. and
pile up the furniture against it. Be
sides , also , it is doubtful if > re will own
that door even when we buy it. Our
title may fail. We may not be buying
of the true owner. It would be a great
bargain if we could get eight millions
of slaves at two dollars and a half a
piece , but does Spain have the right to
sell a whole nation into foreign servi
tude ? It seems to us that we have
read somewhere that all men are
created equal and there is no just gov
ernment Avithout the consent of the
governed. But this is probably a glit
tering generality , written for effect and
don't mean anything. But law or no
law , justice or no justice , we are going
to buy this property before it is taken
off of the bargain counter. Nonconformist

Live Stock Notes ,
j The Stock Growers Journal says
"Montana cattlemen are not going on
of business because it has not paid ii
recent years. This year has been on <
of the best the range cattlemen hav <
had in many years , and as a whole , tin
1 business has been profitable. "
The sale of property belonging to th <
Sylvester estate was held at the rancl
last Saturday. There were 129 head
of cows and calves which sold at $40.50
The balance of the stock , dry cows
yearlings and calves , 46 head in al

Five hundred head of the Southern
cattle owned by T. G. Cooper. F. E ,
Jandt and others , were unloaded here
on Friday of last week an were an in
teresting sight to a number of our citi
zens , who are not accustomed to seeing
such small animals with hoofs and
horns and calves by their sides. Craw
ford Bulletin.
- Combined receipts at the four lead
ing markets , Chicago , Omaha , Kansas
City and St. Louis , for the past eleven
months were approximately 3,820,000
cattle , 14,396,000 hogs , and 3,744.000
sheep , a decrease as compared with re
ceipts for the same period last year at
the same points of 188,500 cattle , and
an increase of 994,000 hogs and 210,000
sheep.
II. G. Newcomb and C. A Sheldon
received eighty-four head of fine Dur
ham stock cattle from Iowa about the
middle of November. Among the lot
are several bull calves , under a yeai
old , which are ahead of anything we
have seen in this country for fine shape
and size. This country is not over
stocked with animals of that kind.
Crawford Bulletin.
A special from Cheyenne , Wyoming ,
says : Some of the sheepmen of this
state are making the experiment this
winter of buying alfalfa in Nebraska at
$2 per ton and Chipping sheep to the
hay to be fed during the winter. Some
diversity of opinion exists as to wheth
er it will pay. With the hay at the
nominal price of $13 per ton , those best
informed contend it will bo a paying
investment , notwithstanding the trans
portation charges.
At Deadwood this week Peter Car-
berry and Howard Smith , tried for the
alleged stealing of fifty head of cattle-
winch were shipped to Sioux City from
L. P. Stone's ranch , were acquitted.
The defense claimed that Stone lured
Carberry and Smith to t > hip and sell the
cattle. The cattle were heavily mort
gaged to W. E. Adams , of that city.
Stone may be prosecuted by Adams.
This is the end of one more of the
rustling cases in which the. notorious
Hank Smith figured as chief engineer.

There is a report going the rounds of
the press that a new industry to be
started in Chicago will bring a new
food into our markets in the shape of
canned rabbit. A representative of
the great rabbit-raising industry in
Great Britain is looking for a large
tract of land near Chicago that can be
turned into a tame rabbit farm. Here
rabbits will be raised by the million.
Their flesh will be canned and shipped
nil over the country. The meat of the
tamed rabbit is consumed in great
quantities in France , Great Britain ,
Germany , Belgium and Holland in
fact in all the civilized countries of
Europe , and is said to be especially
relished by epicures. Paris alone is
reported to consume weekly over 190.-
300 pounds of tame rabbits , or 10.000- ,
300 pounds annually.
A Fort Pierre , South Dakota , dis
patch says : "Cattle on the range never
went into a winterin any better shape
than this one. The long , open fall has
allowed them to put on fat to sustain
them in case of severe weather later in
the season. The dry weather of the
fall has allowed th grass to cure well
an the ground , and it is about as good
liay m this shape as it would be if cut
and stacked. While the dry weather
lias assured plenty of good feed , it has
also made water scarce on many portions
tions of the range country , and the
storm of this week was more welcomed
than dreaded by cattlemenas it brought
anough snow to help out the short
water supply , and is piled up in such
shape that most of the prairie is bare
for feeding , and the snow in drifts will
remain longer than if spread over the
prairie. As the situation is at present
it will take an exceptionally' severe
winter for the rest of the season to do
my damage to the range stock.
