A Few Facts For Cattle Dealers. It has foeen'repeatedly demonstrated in the past that SIOUX CITY I A. . Stands at top as a market for Range Feeders You can satisfy yourself as to the. truth of that dlarement by comparing the saies at Sioux City , last year , with those at any other competitive market. You can also ask your neighbors who have sold cattle at Sioux City. This year Sioux City is in the field for fat cat tle as well as feeders.

WESTERN NEWSDEMOCRATI EOBEET GOOD , Editor and Publisher George Lowry and May Abbott , residents of the west part of the county , came down from Gordon'Tues day morning , and in the afternoon called upon Judge Towne and ex pressed their desire to thereafter travel the road of life in double har ness. With his most winning smile and pleasant voice the Judge ex pressed his willingness to manufac ture the harness and it wasn't long until he had the young couple hitched in the most approved manner. The editor ( who by the way looked like the devil ) was an unobserved observer to the ceremony , and after it was over made Mr. Lowry and wife a present - ent of a year's subscription to this paper , as is his custom , with the hope that it may prove an effective talis man in warding off all evil spirits who are tempted to hover over what he feels sure will always be a happy and prosperous home. Through the courtesy of I. J. Ayers , chief clerk in the adjutant general's office , we are enabled to publish the following" dispatch from the commit tee which went to San Francisco to meet the returning- First Nebraska : Temperature here cold as compared to Nebraska , owing to proximity to ocean. Have arranged for issue of woollen under clothing on arrival of the regiment , which will obviate lia bility of pneumonia as experienced by Oregon regiment. On consulta tion with General Shafter and chief mustering officer are informed that it will take about three weeks to muster out the regiment. Hancock reported delayed by reason of a broken valve. P. H. BARRY , Adjutant General. The programs for the county teach- ers' institute are out , and from them , we learn that Profs. A. H. Water- house , 11. H. Watson and Mrs. Lizzie Crawford will be the instructors foi the session , which begins August 14 and continues two weeks. We also learn that Edith Turner will conduct a class in physical culture during the session. Special features are : Aug. 17 , lecture by Prof. Watson ; Aug. 20 , sermon to teachers bv Kev. Baker : Aug. 22 , lecture by Prof.Vaterhouse ; Aug. 24 , reception ; Aug. 25 and 26 , examination. Jim Gillaspie recentty caught a negro charged with cattle stealing , and Jack Heelan brought in a young fellow supposed to Have stolen a horse. It was decided that one of the two should run for sheriff on the eputation they thus gained , and it was decicfed to leave the choice to Pete Donoher. After hearing the arguments Pete handed down this opinion : ' 'Owing to the scarcity of negros. Jim made the better catch , and is entitled to the nomination. " Judgment accordingly , and everybody drank. J. O. Vincent has sold his residence and interest in the general merchan dise business of Crabb & Vincent to W. F. Morgareidge , possession to be given the 1st of August. He has purchased the Hans Ulrich place , and will make that his home. We are glad to see Mr. Morgareidge enter business in Valentine , and wish the new firm a large share of the patron- age coming to town and believe they * will both deserve and get it. Ben Hobson and Cal Francis en- street Monday which resulted in as bloodshed on Ben's part and a dis to colored 636 for Cal. The two me n then settled their differences , appar ently , but later Ben had Cal arrested for taking a horse without permis sion. Cal was fined 810 03 and costs , of and the matter now rests in abeyance. He Chas. Bailey , the negro arrested son , was given a preliminary hearing Saturday , and after having waived examination he was bound over to the district court. It is currently re ported that he is only a tool in the hands of unscrupulous cattle thieves , i So and it is a question as to whether he j jf will be proven guilty or not. i om j Or At the Demorest gold medal con- i se' test held in the M. E. church last i j Friday evening , Nellie Baker was j j in declared the winner , and Bertha | t\v Thorn second. The other contestants Ar were Myrtle Pettijohn. Mabel Mars- m den and Gertrude Moon.

Northwestern and Stockman. Id5 i on Hyannis people are talking of holdFi ing a two days live stock show. ' va j On the first page of this paper is an I article regarding fusion , but it should j be understood that the claims of the democrats are based upon the assump tion that a democrat is nominated for congress. Dr. A. J. Plumer is favorably men tioned as the fusion candidate for treasurer , to run against Thackrey who in spile of the ring formed against him will be nominated again , and he would make a strong run. The XKWS-DEMOCRAT this week fur nishes its readers with a list of possible candidates for county oflices , but it should be distinctly understood that this paper is not pushing the claims of any of them. We give them publicity merely ( as a'matter of news , and who ever are nominated on the fusion ticket . . 'will receive our hearty support. Here is a question for natural philos ophers : Is the fall of rain due to the presence < of electricity in the air with the < lightning and thunder attendant or is the absence of the fall of rain due to the absence of the electrical display or presence < , or is the electrical display due to the fall of rain or moistu re ? Or does tin rain depend on the lightning or the lightning on the rain , which or neither ? The contest between Lay port e and Sherman for the republican nomination for sheriff goes merrily on , and prom ises to be very bitter ero.the convention is over. i Among the pops J. II Skirv- ing of JJrownlee seems to be a strong candidate , and is winning delegations , but the friends of .Jas. Hay of this place art pulling hard for him. Skirving is a comparatively ' voting man , but is a straight one , and his position politically is orthodox. .Jim Hay is one of the , , old j-ettler-j m the enmity , and is ; i warhorse - horse in liic raik ! > of populism. j j Thu bal.i.K'i's ii Xt-.v Y > ; * i ; ! > an- > last week was only about $ .1.0iiH)0 ( ) ( ) j more tht i ieiral ruiuirenients. A few weeks ago we noticed a : : ) : of ' $40,000.000 and over. \Vli ii.'s tin- * cause ? < 4old is going to Europe , and the administrationists tell us it is a good thing. Soon another bond will be forced , and that will be a good thing too.Ve believe it will be im possible to shield MeKinley as Harri son was shielded , because the need of more money is becoming more impera tive every day and it is over nineteen months until Bryan will take the pres idential chair. Johnny Daniels expects to bo the republican nominee for the clerkship , but clouds on the political horizon in dicate that a storm is brewing. Robert Lee of iJrownlee is a bright young man , and it is almost time that he was recog nized some say he will be , and that Daniels must step down and out and there are others. We understand that Pete Donoher is not averse to accept- ing the democratic nomination , and Win. Metzger has lost none of his friends. One bourbon who has been me considered active for the place is not l yet ready to announce his candidacy , but when he does we doubt not he Avill develop considerable strength. 2 Speaking to the leaders of Tammany regarding the Fourth of July celebra In tion in New York The Verdict says : To Hogg touched on Bryan. Hogg spoke the n < ime of that mighty leader , on and the vast , listening throng and m. every man a Tammany man answered said to the mention of that ONE who was tion ride at the party's head in 1900 to certain . said ' ' ' triumph.

What is the COIl' logic of that ? What stirring truth. saii tem personal to yourselves politic-all } ' , is child of it ? Mark you this : If you By aren't for Bryan , you won't be there. surely as the sun is to rise and have convention setting , 3'ou'll find this true , you're for Biyan you may go. No will gainsay you or get in 3-0111'way. ( Oppose him , and you'll have neither Una seat nor part nor lot nor voice in thut Hey convention. This isn't threat ; it's prophesy. There are 300,000 Democrats Greater .New York. Not , one in twelve belongs to Tammany Hall. And ninety per cent of them are liryan men--branded on their hearts for from Bryan. Tammany is for Brj'an , as witness the shoutings at your festival prays last Fourth. The town's Democracy the the state's are for Bryan ; as witness voices of party men on every side claim said you. -7 Notice is hereby given that I will at public auction on Saturday , August \ o , at Valentine stock yards the following described property , 150 head cattle cows , heifers and calves.
