We have not received official
call from Chairman P. L. Hall , of
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee , but we would suggest that
a democratic county convention
be held in Valentine on Saturday ,
May 14th , for the purpose of
selecting delegates for the state
democratic delegate convention ,
which meets in Omaha , June 1st
to elect delegates to the St. Louis
democratic National convention
July 6 , 1904. The representation
for Cherry county , based upon
the vote cast for Hon. J. J. Sulli
van in the general election of 1903
is 6 delegates. It is to be hoped
that each precinct in the county
will be represented.

medal and this contest promises

S. T. Smith has been relieved
as night operator at the depot by
a Mr. Jones. The many friends
of Mr. Smith are sorry to see him
go , but he was too young to hold
such a responsible positon. This
shows that Valentine must trans
act lots of business when they
have to put old men in the office
to look after the express business.
We have been requested to call
attention to the fact that the law
on trout fishing is being disregard
ed by a few that perhaps does not
know that the season for trout
fishing does not open until the 1st
of June and ends October 31st.
Now , there are a few people who
wish to abide by the laws of our
state , and find when going out af
ter the 1st of June that all the
trout have been caught by viola
tors. A good many people think
that this law is a trival matter ,
and go out as though no such law
ever existed. But we want to say
that there is a heavy fine for the
violation of this law and violators
will be summarily dealt with if
caught. The state is to an enorm
ous expence to keep up the fish'
hatcheries at South Bend , Nebr. ,
and to stock the streams through
out the state , so men be law abid
ing citizwns , liveiup to and respect
this la\v the aanie a < you do other
Mahara. Minstrels at the Fort

John Fritz of Ainsworth stopped
over in the city Tuesday on his
way to Deadwood. Mr. Fritz is
well acquainted in our county ,
having run for county treasurer
in 1897 , and in partnership with
Mr. Lewis run a store at Brown-
lee for a number of years. He is
now writing insurance in the N.
Y. Life. We enjoyed a pleasant
visit with him at our office.

ITrom Democratic "Blade. :
Valentine seems to be prosper
ing this spring. There is a grow
ing demand for property and an
increasing trade as the country'
settles up.
W. H. Westover was down from
Gordon yesterday. He has just ,
returned from Washington and is
very favorably impressed with this
administration ,
We regret to learn that
friend Judge Tucker contemplates
moving to Gordon soon. He has
a claim near that thriving burg" , ' '
which he intends holding down
and in the intervals between corn
planting and harvest , to practice
law.
John Little has built a very nice
country residence on his claim
north of town and is working up a
reputation as a granger. What
John doesn't know about farming
Mrs. Little does , though she com
mitted a blunder the first day ,
which was to be expected. She
mixed up some bran for the cow , .
which the latter refused to eat , [
though mixed in the most approv
ed style. The hired man who had
been on a farm before , happened
around and informed the disgusted
Mrs. L. that she was feeding the
cow sawdust.

The bill introduced by Eepre-
sentative Kinkaid regarding the
settlement of western Nebraska
lands is in a good shape to pass.
It has been reported from the
committee on public lands.
* As reported from the committee
the bill provides for the entry of
one section of land instead of two ,
as originally intended. The bill
also provides now that sixty days
after the act has been approved
640 acres may be entered upon.
It must be in compact form and
not over two miles long. The
secretary of the interior may also
exclude from settlement such lands
as he may deem reasonably prac
tical for irrigation by means of
natural gravitation.
The report of the committee
says that the bill is in no way con
sidered a departure from the origi
nal homestead act , but it is intend
ed to stimulate settlement by giv
ing a greater quantity of land to
compensate the settler for the lack
of fertility. Omaha Daily News.
