You can satisfy yourself as to the truth of that rflarement by
comparing the saies at Sioux City , last year , wiih those at any other
competitive market. You can also ask your neighbors who have sold
ca ttle at Sioux City. This year Sioux City is in the field for fat cat
tle as well as feeders. The great beef slaughtering plant of the
Cudahy Packing Co. is ready for business . ,

There has been considerable thieving
going on lately over in the north coun-
i try , and last Wednesday word reached
I Jacob Kratt that he is among the losers -
ers , twenty-five head of his cattle having -
ing been taken together with others
belonging to other people. Stuart LedI

The secretary of the interior has ren
dered u decision of considerable im
portance to those affected. The rule is
that on the death of a homesteader ,
leaviug a widow and heirs , the widow
takes the homestead right of the hus-
'
band free from any claim on bclmlf of
the heirs , and is vested with full power
to complete the entry for her own ben
etit , or to relinquish the same if she so
elects.
The Bell Cattle Company have re
covered the span of horses .which were
stolen from them some time ago. They
haye been searching the south country
for the past ten days and last week
located the stolen property on the
Loup river. On Wednesday one Ed.
Jay was placed under arrest by Sheriff
'
Murray aud placed under $1,000 dollar
bonds. Squire Jones went on his bondsf
and the preliminary hearing was set
for Saturday. Longpiue Journal.
I'p to date 800 filings hive been
made in the local land office , under the
Keservoir AftJMH ! they still continue -
tinue to come * . SPVPJ-JI ! homestead
filings have boon offered on lands held
under reservoir rights , and notice of
appeal given when the applications
were rejected. As soon as these ap
peals are decided lyy the secretary of
the interior , we will know what the
real value of these filings are , but until
that time stockmen and speculators
will continue to grab all vacant lands.
So far as bona fide stockmen are con
cerned no ill feeling has been caused
by their filings , but we understand that
in many cases filings have been made
by irresponsible parties with the very
evident intention of making stockmen
pay tribute to them , and it is these ,
filings which will cause trouble if
trouble is caused.
Word reached here last week to the ,
effect that one man who had filed a I &
reservoir claim on a piece of land in
the west part of the county had chop
ped down a windmill which a neigh '
borin outfit had built on the land
some time ago. We did not learn the
naiw.s of those concerned , but if our in
formation is correct the action was an
outrage which should be punished \\'e
know of dozens of claims which have f
bren filed on streams and lakes. whjre
reservoirs are not needed One in par-
ticnl.r seems ra v. because a large
river runs through the land , and taken ph
alone the place is valueless. Ve hope .
to see rulings soon made'which will , )
prevent such lilings. The intent of 33
th" law is undoubtedly good , and it is sh
shame to have it become farcical.

Educational Notes , ,
By Prof. E. H. WATSON to
g
All school pupils will be pleased to
] , learn ' that fifty of the library books
have been left in the county superin
tendent's office with Miss Brown , to
j : be loaned to the pupils. The Ninth
grade pupils ( those who will be Tenth
{ I } grade ? next year ) should be especially
interested in Abbott's biographies.
Those pupils who use these books
most freely will be the best in Greek
and Roman history during" the coming'
year. Books exchanged from 8 to 10
o'clock a. m. every * Saturday. .
I am very much pleased to know
that the additional help given to the
High School for the coming" 3 ear
gives so nearly universal satisfaction.
I believe that if all understood the
plan and nature of the work intended
there would not be one dissenting-
voice. A few have supposed that our
sole object in putting in this addi
tional work is to meet the require
ments of the State University , The
primary object is to give those pupils
who are not able to attend the State
University a chance to acquire a
more thorough education. A few
have doubted whether there would be
a sufficient number of pupils in the
advanced class to justify us in maintaining
tainingit. . The pupils who have
graduated will come back for this
course and our advanced class the
, coming" ye r will be about t-vicj is
large as any other advanced class Ave
, .
haye ever had , anJ the class for the
next yeir will be still larger.
We look back over the last three
years work with pride at the success
we have had in holding" the Hig"h
School pupils in school anJ inspirirjf
them wi h a determination to secure
the most thorough education within
their reach.
The first year we enrolled in the
High School nineteen pupils , the
past year we enrolled thirty-nine
pupils , and we expect to enroll be
tween fifty-five and sixty pupils the
coming" 3'ear.
We expect about $40 per month
tuition from non-resident pupils the
coming" year , and after that the.
tuition . . will more than pay the salary
ot the assistant principal.
Three 3ears ag"o I believe not a
single school in Cherry county , out
side of Valentine , hired more than Sci
one teacher , the coming" year at least Ch
three schools will hire
more than one Co
teacher and will make an attempt to
Oa
grade their schools. This shows the
educational feeling" that is growing"
all over the county. These schools If
will be g'ood feeders for Valentine ,
and while securing" a good education
jr themselves , tneir tuition will en
able us to make our school better.
