Bro. McFarland , of the .Lynch Jour
nal , lost his -wife last week by death ,
after a week's illness. In this his hour
of suffering , we nre sure the heartsof
all the newspaper boys in this section
of the state will beat with sympathy
for him.
Nothing but an army can be used to
set aside a popular verdict at the polls.
Do you want to have it so that your
will may be thwarted at the pleasure
of plutocrats ? Keep the republican
party in power and you'll get what you
want. State Democrat.
It seems that L. K. Alder does not
stand very high * in the estimation of a
certain element of the republican patty
in Brown county , and the caucuses
last Saturday * were all fought out on
the question of Alder. In Ainsworth ,
where his foes seemed to have centered
their energies , Alder won out to the
tune-of 4 to 1 , and consequently will
come to Valentine September 4 with a
red hot delegation in his favor.
Verily the world do move , and times
are very rapid just now. A few years
ago it was thought a sacrilege to doubt
the Wisdom of Washington and Jeffer
son1 , whose words were spoken a cen
tury or more ago , but now a man's
wisdom is wisdom for only a few days.
Even the AinsworthStarJournal last
week spoke derisively of our martyr
president's words as "antedated Abe
Lincolnism. " AVhy didn't it say
"antiquated ? " '
At Lexington last Friday the popu
lists nominated Judge Neville for congress - - -
gross , and the democrats nominated M.
0. Harrington , and both conventions
adjourned without effecting a fusion.-
We are sorry the two parties did
not get together , and hope that the
differences which now exist will be
smoothed away before election. It is
folly for the democrats and populists
to quarrel , and everybody knows it.
Why then should they act the fool as
they did at Lexington' ?
According to the modern money
bosses of the g. o. p. it is a more un
pardonable sin to be for free silver
than to compare MeKinley to JeE
Davis to the. former's discredit. Why
don't they read LToar and IJoutwell and
Carnegie and that kind of trash out of
the parly as well as they pretend to do
the free silver men ? Because it is
treason only to touch the sacred dollar
of the capitalist ; no other interest is
important enough to make up a
division. Delphor (0. ( ) ( Jour nt.
Ilcie is the latest version of the
T \veuty-iliird Psalm given by an ex
change : ' 'The politician is rny shep
herd ; I shall not want any good thing
during the campaign. lie leadeth me
in the saloon for my vote's sake , lie
filleth my pocket with good cigars ; my
glass of beer runneth over. lie pre-
pureth my ticket in the presence of my
better judgment. Yea , though I walk
through the mud and rain to vote for
him and shout myself hoarse , when he
is elected straightway he forgetteth
me. Lo , when I meet him in his own
oft'ice , he kuoweth me not. Surety the
wool hath been pulled over mine eyes
all the days of my life. "
A great nwuy peopio'in this count } ' ,
regardless of party , think that Alder
and \Vcsio\er will be elected judges
this year. A Vc are not so sure of that
however. They seem to think that
Alder's age and experience will cause
him to win over the probable nominee
from the east end , and yet Bro\vn
county concedes that Iho youngest
judjo ever elected in that county ( Will
Ely ) has been the best one they have
ever had. And it isn't even sure that
Alder Avill be nominated by the repub
licans. Diekson and Fisher have a
goad combination working , and
besides , Cherry county will probably
have a strong candidate in the Held.
I'he Commissioner of Public Land
and Buildings will offer abouL 10-3,000
acres of school land for lease at public
auction at Valentine at the office of the
county treasurer , beginning at 9 a. in.
Sept. 7th 1899 under the following pre
vision of the new school laud law :
If after using due diligence to lease * aid land ,
at. nn annual rental of six s r cent upon the ap
praised valuation. tle Commissioner is unable
todoso , he may offer the tame for leuse it less
thnn the appraised valuation and leose it to the
person or prisons who will pay six per cent on
the highest offered -valuation , as annual rental ,
if iu his judgment it is to the best interest of the
Sate to accept such bid.
Persons desiring to examine lands to
be leased may secure lists of the same ,
showing present appraisement thereof ,
as well as any other information , upon
application to the county treasurer or
by addressing the commissioner at Lin-
coin. At the beginning of the auction
the Commissioner will gladly answer
all inquiries in regard to the school land
business or the workings of the new law
The list of lands referred to will be
found on page fiva of this paper
The Commissioner will hold a similar
auction in blieridan county , at Hush-
ville , on Sept. nth.
Bob Faddis shipped six cars of cows
and one car of off-color steens to Omaha
from Woodlake the first of the week.

a good market for feeders , and

Jacob Kraft has just received a car
load of Percheron-Norman horses ,
ranging in weight from 1100 to 18oO ,
which he has placed in his pasture.
Stuart Ledger.
Owners of hogs in this vicinity have
recently , in a number of instances , had
their herds depleted by a disease that
is now pronounced the swine plague.
It is not as virulent as cholera , but
seems to get in its work about as
effectually. Xcligli Leader.
R M. Faddis and Win. Steadman ,
of Pass , sold all their two and three-
vear old steers , about 1,000 head , to
parties in Missouri , and will begin
shipment next week. These steers will
average over 1,000 , but we could not
learn tne figures at which they solu.
Cattle shipments . t , . , _ from j , this j section , of
the state promise to be light , much
more so than for many years past , saj'S
Uie Caspei Derrick. The larjre cattle
companies , with few exceptions , ' have
either gone out of business , or like the
CY have moved to other ranges. The
M Avill ship this fall , but they will
not have the twenty train loads which
the company have been accustomed to
ship to eastern markets every year.
Feeders Sell Light Cattle.
Vast numbers of cattle now coming
make people wonder why , with corn so
plenty , feeders did not put on more
pounds and better finish The people
who send them in do so because the7
believe the } ' get more money than they
would by following another course.
They say they have seen too many
turn's when ripe , heavy cattle had to
be sold for less than short-fed cattle ,
and prefer to make a sure thing.
Prices lately have been fairly remuner
ative on the unfinished cattle , but the
gap in prices between them and the
good ones is wide and growing wider.
Drovers'Journal.
Feeders Scarce.
A prominent South Omaha and
Chicago commission firm sends the
following advice to its-patrons who are
buj'crs'of feeders :
The shortage , now plainly apparent
in local territory. AM'11 necessitate a
larger absorption of v/estei n calllo by
the packers and force them to a cio-.tM-
competition with feeder buyei-s on the
medium weight uTei-ings. There < i"e-
not appear to be much of a disposition
on the part of ranchmen to part with
their voting and light stuff ; they take
a stronir view of ihejuture , and with
favorable prospects for winter iv.nge
and a generally good supply of hay.
are inclined to hold over unless o ! ered
very tempting figure' : . Viewing the
situation irom thi.s standpoint , v.hieh ,
to us , appelirs to be the proper one , we
can see nothing but u high range * of
feeder values running all the way
through the comiug fall and winter ,
and firmly believe that early purchases
are advisable.
Cattleman Killed.
A special dispatch from ( Jlmdronv to
the State Journal , dnteJ August 21
savs : uGeorge Coil shot and instantly ,
killed Tom Ityan on account of the
differences between the sheep and cat
tle range lines and the trespass of one.
on the other's range , about twenty-five
miles southwest of Gbadrou. Coil is a
young man. just past twenty-one , son :
of JL < rank S. Coil , a sheep rancher who
was formerlj * a. prominent business
man and politician of Eurt county *
> -eb. He is the only living witness to
the killing , and says that he did it in
salf-defense. Every flock-master will
give young Coil every assistance , while
the cattlemen and ranchers arc bitter
in denunciatioil1 of what they denounce
/cold-blooded murder. " Coil's
father is a leading republican and
sheepman.
