The American press and people are rushing in with their sympathy for Japan , all be cause the moneyed men of the United States and England wish it to be that way. Poor dupes ! Why don't they think for themselves in stead of being tools to the selfish and designing schemers ? There are a few editors who have the nerve and back bone to "stem the tide" on the matter , among them being editor Rice of THE VALEN TINE DEMOCRAT , and that veteran editor Gib Hunt of the SalixIa. ( ) Siftings. Lyons Mirror. Mr. Kinkaid will soon have been in Congress two years. He has not done even as much as secure a postoffice for an old soldier in this part of the district. He is there fore having the newspaper boys publish his 640 acre homestead bill , which is practically what was proposed by Ex-Congressman Kem. He will soon have a re- nomination on his hands is what's the matter with Kinkaid. Why didn't he have the bill passed dur ing the past two years and then ask for support on what he DID do and not on what may be done ? The statute of limitation applies to Kinkaid. The people have been thus fooled too often. Loup Co. News. The only thing that Kinkaid has accomplished * was the opening of the 5x10 mile extension strip in Sheridan county. He would not have accomplished even that had it not been for Judge W. H. West- over who was in constant com munication with him , setting forth the facts in the case , explaining the circumstances , and instructing him to proceed in the matter. There is not much originality about Kinkaid , yet he is the man whom the small bore republican press of this district lauded as a man with brains and declared that before his time the "Big Sixth" was nev er properly represented in con gress. Oh consistency ! Rush- ville Recorder. More Local. Judge Walcott returned from a four days trip to Omaha and Chicago cage last Saturday. We forgot to report last week Co. Att'y.

Lewis , an old acquaintance - j * ance of the editor , called on us to day as a representative of the C. N. U. . It was a surprise to both of us to meet after a separation of 17 years , neither of us knowing of the whereabouts of the other. We grew to manhood together in the little town of Randolph , Kan. , Mr. Lewis living in the town and my self about 5 miles north of town. We met quite frequently and' in earlier days were well acquainted. Mr. Lewis is apparently in good health and looks much the same as wbfcn we last met. Ed Matins and Ed ThornIOD , two pupular travelling men were in town the past week. We enjoyed a pleasant visit from G. S. Foxworthy , who Sundoyocl in the city.

Seger's sale last Friday was well attended and those who were there enjoyed a good visit while buying such articles as they needed. The day was well spent and prices were fair for buyers and for Mr. Seger. Dr. E. J. DeBell and Mrs. Par- malee , of Rosebud , returned Tues day night from Lyons , Neb. , where they had been on a visit to Mes dames Debell and Parmalee's moth er who had been seriously ill but is now recovering.

Compton was elected delegate to the state medical meeting to be held at Omaha May 3 , 4 and 5th. Henry Flineaux has purchased the John Ferstel fruit farm on the river down across the valley three miles south of town and will soon return with his father's family to occupy it this spring and where they expect to make their future home. The farm is a good one and there are a lot of fruit trees now bearing. Strawberries in abundance have been furnished our city for several years from this farm and the berries are bet ter than those shipped in and they come to us fresh every morning during the season. Vegetables from this farm have been the town's principal supply in the past. Mr. Ferstel contemplates staying on the farm this season , after which i i he may come to town to live after t helping Mr. Flineaux to get started with his work. Notice This Correction.

Robert Burns , the man who was captured last week on the reserva tion as reported last week , escaped from the Rosebud jail last Sunday night by prying the door open with a hand spike while the guard was at supper. He was seen down in the Sparks neighborhood Tues day and Sheriff Layport telephoned to Rosebud and then to John Shel- bourn's on the new telephone line and told him to arrest Burns if he could be found. Later Burns was seen on the prairie and taken by Mr. Shelbourn and Dave Archer and held until Sheriff Layport could go down after him. Burns was landed in tha Cherry county jail last night about 10 o'clock where he will be held for the U.S. marshall. Now is the time to get your in surance on your buildings and stock.
