To economize the editor is attempt ing to do all the work of the office hini- self , consequently he can't get out and. collect. lie can't afford to offer any prizes for the purpose of stirring people ; up , but he's hit upon another scheme , one by which YOU can make- some thing. Here it is. : . To every subscriber who pays all ar rearages in full to September 1st , and ' t One Dollar in advance , we will give o receipt for Paid Up Subscription to * r January 1 , 1901. Brands accordingly ; ' * In other words , you will get the pa per four or five months absolutely free of charge. The NEWS-DEMOCRAT is ordinarily opposed to schemes of this - ! - -V kind , as there is no money in it in the * i long run , but this is an extraordinary occasion , and we must have money. , " f ' This offer is for cash only and will be withdrawn September 1st. The hottest roast we ever have read , is the letter of Senator Allen to J. Ster ling Morton. Uu to date Jay Sterilized has not replied. , The congressional situation is becoming - ; ing more interesting every day , and tha hopes of a democrat securing the fusion nomination grows brighter as time passes on. We are reliably informed that Dave Banna is after the republican nomination - tion for county treasurer. It looks , tool as though he might Ripe to the occasion and capture the Dead Sea apple. "V " ; It begins to look like L. K Alder and W. W. Wood have formed an offensive alliance for the two places upon the re publican judicial ticket. Alder Wood be better off if it he went it alone. Several republican politicians became real angry after reading last week's pa per , and accused us of having already opened the county campaign. Had we held the Tliadcre'y letter until shortly- before election they would have accus ed us of insincerity because we said nothing before the campaign. As it is , Treasurer Thackrey has a chance to vindicate himself. Our action was not prompted by malice it was merely a protest by u citizen and taxpayer. Humor now has it that Layporte and' Sherman have formed a combination and Laypore is to get the nomination for sheriff and Sherman will retain his position as deputy. This is gall and wormwood to the friends of Sheriff Strong , who have been backing Sher man to win. A man don't mind bet ting on the wrong horse if he gets any thing like a race for his money , but he does hate to see his horse get left at the scratch. Watch the indicator. ' 111 news travels fast. " The Stuar Ledger is real mad at this paper be cause it had the temerity to cdticjzes one of the Ledges's brilliant editorial s- , when the Ledges was not on this pa per's exchange list. Here we have been puffing up Bro. Church a- whole lot , and he never knew it , but when the tune is changed , behold ! he hears it at once. Really , though , we are sorry ry the Ledger has not been receiving , our paper , because we believe it would have done Bro. Church good during tlie recent hot spell our articles are so oothing to the troubled spirits of our republican brethren but will see that he receives his medicine regularly here after. The Commissioner of Public Lands and Buildings will offer about 105,000 acres of school land for lease at public auction at Vaientine at the office of the county treasurer , beginning at 9 a. m" . Sept. 7th 1899 under the following pro vision of the new school land law : If after using due diligence to tease said land , at an annual rental of six ser cent upon the a- praised valuation , the Commissioner is unable to do so , he may offer the same for lease tt less than the appraised valuation and leose it to the person or persons who will pay six per cent on the highest offered valuation , as annual rental , if hi his judgment it is to the hest interest of the state to accept such bid. Persons desiring'to examine lands to be leased may. secure lists of the sajne , showing present appraisement thereof , as well as any other information , upon application to the county treasurer or by addressing the commissioner at Lin coln. At the beginning of the auction the Commissioner tvill gladly answer all inquiries in regard to the school land business or the workings of the new law The list of lauds referred to will be found on page fiva of this paper , The Commissioner will hold a similar auction in hheridan county , at Rush- vjlle , on Sept. oth. Comstock & Richards unloaded 28 cars of cattle in Gordon last Sunday ; consisting of cows , calves , heifers and steers , which theo drove down to the Spade ranch Gordon Journal. F E. Gillette shipped eight cars of fat cattle to Omaha , Sunday. We learn later that .he Omaha market was ; not satisfactory and he shipped to Chi cago. Ainsworth Home Rule. D. T. Taylor sold 117 head of two and three j-ear old steers thisweek to S. B. Scace , a cattle feeder of Wayne , Neb. This was an extra good bunch of cattle and netted Mr.Taylor something over § 5,000. Hay Springs Leader. 90-head of cattle were sold at the stock yards last Saturday. They 'brought prices ranging from $12 for small calves , $17 for 3-months old realves and $20 'for yearlings up to $30 , § 35 and $40 for cows. These were the cattle from the Zuck Wright ranch. Rashviile Standard. It has recently come to light that uohu and Sam Marty for the past year residing southeast of Atkinson have been systematically stealing cattle from Holt county ranchmen. Upon conclu sive eyinence county attorney Butler had John arrested last Wednesday and also had a warrant issued for Sam , wto was missing. Stuart Ledger. This may be of use to faimers and stockmen. Sprinkle lime in your stock tank and not a particle of scum will form on the water. When lime loses its strength scum will begin to form , which may be twice ( Turing * tile -season. Wash out the tank and repeat the dose. It is cheap , not only harmless but is wholesome , keeps the water sweeet and saves the live stock. Good Wyoming Cattle. In their weekly market letter dated last Friday the Evans , Snider , Buel Co. says that one train of Wyoming cattle sold on the Omaha market as follows : 12 cars of 12931b steers at $4.85 ; two cars oflieifers at $4.35and one car ot cyws at $4.10. They quote range beef steers from $ -f.OO to 4.85 ; two and three year old steers at $4.00 to $4.70 bulk ? 4.25 to $4.50. Receipts last week were about 12,000 , mostly Nebraska grass and western -rangers. 1 - ' Don't Cross Purebred Heifers , Cross mating of purebred males with females of inferior breeding or no par ticular bree.ling at all is not disparaged but the similar use of purebred females should be discountenanced and even abhorred , for the practice tends to a re version of the offspring ever afterward. If a registered Shorthorn heifer be- ma ted with a grade Angus and it this be her first gestation her progeny ever af terward will bear the marks and color ing of that first cross. The reversion to' the Angus type is sure to come , and tlie worst of it is thnt it- will continue to show for generations in the colors of her offspring. Miles City .Journal ; To Prevent Texas Fever. According to the report the state vet erinarian of Missouri a positive method of prevention of Texas or sp'enetic fev er has been discovered. Prevention is accomplished by inoculating with the blood of a diseased animal. Ihe sys tem has be thoroughly demonstrated to be a success , even more so than vaccin ation for blackleg , and will prove to beef of inestimable value to all those who handle southern cattle. As is known to all our readers the fever is caused by a tick , which seems to not seriously af fect southern cattle , but is very fatal to stock from the north. After inocula tion , however , the ticks do not incon venience the stock at all , and the per centage of loss during inoculation is very small. * * If You Want toBuy or Sell Live Stockj make your wants known to the Cherry Co , Live Stock Exch , Valentine , Nebr , GOING ! !
