EIGHT DAMAGED FIRST DISTRICT Will Cost About $1,200 to Repnlr the Damage Done by the Torrent that Fell on Tuesday , May 24 on Battle Creek and Tailor CreeK * . Commissioner George I ) Smith him returned fiom n trip with thu ether niiinty commissioners over the See- .oinl district to Inspect the brldgo situ- ntlon which occupied tholr llino Thursday nntl n portion of the night. They found a Imd roiidlllon of iiffiilrH nnd hiivo the First district yet to go ever to ascertain the damage resultIng - Ing from the storm of May ill. In the second dlHtrlct It WUH found thai eight bridges had boon damaged , and It was estimated that It would require from $20 to $100 oaoh to uiatii ; phico thorn In condition for travel. For repairing ! 'ho ' damage In the two districts It Isl osilmatod that nt least $1,200 will bolroiiulrod. It Is proposed by tjio commissioners - ors to repair the minor damages at the earliest opportuiilty , hut the Creator repairs will imtj bo made until after the tax low so that the amount of money available for bridge work , cnn bo ascortnliiod. Commissioner Smith reports that the storm In the First dlHtrlct approached preached the dimensions of a cloud burst , lu a few hours of that Tues day evening HX ! Inchon of water fell In the neighborhood of llattlo anil Taylor crooks and the streams which are ordinarily small , wore swollen Into raging torrents. Much hall ac companied the downpour of rain and other damage besides that done to the county bridges was occasioned. It was hoped by the commissioners that another expensive lot of bridge work this season might bo avoided , but that Is not now the condition , and If thorq IB much more rain It Is not Improbable thai work on the Elkhorn bridges , that Imvo thus far escaped , will have to ho done. TRIED THE FIRE ESCAPE Bell Boy at the Oxnnrd Finds That the Balanced Ladder Works. The new steel lire escape on the front of the three story Oxnard hotel has been completed and Claude Kll- Ion , boll boy at the hostelry , was ono of the tlrst to test the apparatus. Th'-ro Is a balanced ladder nt the second story landing thai Is supposed to bo pushed to the pavomonl when descending the escape , and when young Klllen arrived at this place ho thought the ladder must be on the elevator order , so got aboard and took a ride to the pavement. The ladder operated somewhat quicker than ho had anticipated and struck the pavement with a Jar that cer tainly stopped the ladder , but the young man , who was near the top rounds of the contrivance continued his descent and was stopped by the pavement with some unklndncsB. Kllleu was somewhal bruised and his hands were minus considerable cuti cle , but ho managed to appear on duty today. Dispose of New Cases. D.

A gang of Indians wore on the ear ly morning train today from Nlobrara on their way to Omaha where they will appear before the federal court as witnesses In some whisky cases. It was the First and Third commis sioner district that lost bridges and suffered damages by the severe Htorm of two weeks ago. The Second dlntrlct has suffered no brldgo damage - ago to Hpoak of yet this season. Fremont Tribune : H. II. Honnlngs of Fremont has opened a sullorinm at Norfolk. Ills friends hero will wish him success In the enterprise. Hf ban started rightly by placing an at tractive advertisement in the loading dally newspaper. The train from the west on Iho N'ortliwostorn , duo hero at 12:20 : , was about six hours late yesterday. The delay was caused by a washout near Deadwood , which prevented the down train from coming through , necessi tating the transfer of passengers and baggage. The precipitation for yesterday was very light and this morning the sun come out as though It Intended to smllo on the country for at least a day or Iwo , dispelling the clouds and the frowns that had gathered on the faces of the farmers because of too much wot. The morning was cold , not a million degrees removed from the frost temperature , but a heavy dew was the worst result of the low tem perature. Fremont Tribune : Misses Uertha Kino. Laura Bridge and Kuthorlno Frollch will leave on Wednesday with the party headed by .1. T. Lees of the university for a trip to Europe. Oth ers Included who will go are Miss ( Iraco Brldgo , who Is at Lincoln , Mrs. .losslo Thayer of Kaclno , WIs. , nnd Miss Nelllo Morrison of Kearney , sailing from New York city on Juno -10 , the tourists will bo absent from America until September. England , Scotland , France , Germany , Italy nnd other foreign countries will be visit ed. The tented lawns of Norfolk may not prove conclusively that all the people of the city have recognized the value of the now outdoor health treat ment that has taken hold of the east , but Is evidence that some of them rec ognize the healthfulncss that can como out of using a tent , even if the can vas Is not pitched on a mountain side or near a rippling brook. There Is one thing about them : that the tents are very pleasant nnd healthful play houses for the children and are not unpleasant for sleeping quarters when the weather becomes warmer. The families who own tents nnd use them a few days or weeks during the sum mer should largely increase. Stanton Register : About the best news that has como to Stanton for years was Iho decision of the board of control of the state firemen's asso ciation that Norfolk had again been selected as the place where the an nual tournament would bo hold. There were many Stantonltes at Nor folk last year , but there will be three times as many this year. Norfolk is wide awake nowadays after playing Hip Van Winkle for a decade and so long as her citizens glvo the people the glad hand as she did last year , she can depend on her visitors to al ways welcome u chnnco to return where genlnuo pleasure is always of fered. EIGHTH ANNUAL MEETING AT O'NEILL SATURDAY. WERE ROYALLY ENTERTAINED The Hospitality of the City Made the Social Features of the Meeting Overshadow the Business Side , but That Was Profitable. It IH moro than prolmblo that the small attendance at the Elkhorn Vnl- loy editorial aHsoclatlon mooting , which WJIH hold at O'Neill on Satur day , was duo partly to the announce- merit that the town had gone "dry , " coupled with the further fact that It has rained so much up In that coun try this year that many of the corn tlohlH are ponds and farmers have out of necessity engaged In the cultivation of Iho frog log Industry. It Is oven Intimated that Homo of the newspaper men had sudden calls homo after they reached O'Neill and sized up the sit uation. Hut despite the fact that Holt coun ty Is attempting to overwork the cold water business , the mooting of the ed- Itorlnl association was a success In every particular and the ontoitaln- mont offered Iho visitors was moat hospitable and cordial. It had been planned to have the mooting called to order al 10:110 : lu the morning , but the train from the wesl was late and It was I o'clock before the business of the session was al- tempted. A. M. Church of the Atkln son Graph la presided over the meet- Ing. After a musical selection. Invo cation by Kov. Mr. Fot/.or , Mayor J S. Harrington gave a rousing address of welcome , which was responded t < by 1'resldonl Church. Secretary Eves then related a few things that happened ponod at the last mooting In Atkinson L. A. Wilson of the Sprlngvlow Her aid road an excellent paper on the subject , "Can Editors Succeed as Pol ItlclaiiB ? " Arthur F. Mullen of the Page New Urn gave some advice In a good paper on "How to Hun a News paper. " President Church road a pa per on "Can an Editor bo a Chris tlan ? " Election of olllcers resulted as fol lows : President , C ! . A. Miles , O'Neill Inde pendent. Vice president , L. A. Wilson , Spring view Herald. Secretary-treasurer , G. M. C. Cooi or , Hushvlllo Recorder. The next mooting was voted t Hushvlllo , where It will bo hold on th llrst Saturday in Juno , 1905. Then the association resolved It self Into a business session and so li forested did the members become 1 talking shop that H was aflor 0 o'cloc before they realised It. B.inquct nnd Dance. At 7 o'clock the visitors were Invl od to a banquet at the hall , temlero by the people of O'Neill. The bai quot was served by the ladles of th Presbyterian church and was an ele Kant spread. The people of the clt showed tholr hospitality by attondln the banquet with their guests nut making it pleasant I'or them. Afto the feast had boon given the Intorestci attention that it deserved , Mr. K. S Eves , acting as toastmaster , tntn ducod D. Clem Denver , who rospondci to the toast , "Tho Press , " In a maniie that mot with the approval of the ai dionce. Hon. R. R. Dlekson responded to toast on the "Ideal Newspaper , " which ho did In a very comprehensive man ner , summing up his plan of an Ideal newspaper with the following senti ment : "A paper edited by one whoso aruior Is his honest thought , and sim ple truth his utmost skill. " S. J. Wookos spoke of "Tho Ladles. " It Is said that Mr. Weokes has lived In O'Neill for years and it was never known that ho possessed oratorical nullity , but the short address he uavr on the subject assigned to htm wns ono of Iho brightest over heard by the andlonco. A song by the Misses Nellie nnd Rose O'Fallon drew forth an encore to which they gracefully responded. The closing address on "Our Guests" wns given by Hon. M. F. Harrington , nnd it contained n warmth of welcome to the visitors. Before the adjournment from the banquet board , the committee on res olutions , consisting of L. M , Mead of the Bassott Leader , J. M. C. Cooper of the Rushvlllo Recorder nnd L. A. Wilson of the Sprlngvlow Herald , asked leave to report , which they did as follows : "Wo. your committee on resolutions , take this opportunity of expressing our unbounded thanks nnd admiration for the splendid entertainment provided by the citizens and brother editors of O'Neill upon this the eighth annual mooting of the Elkhorn Valley edlto- rial association. "This meeting has been ono of the most profitable In the history of the association , nnd much of this is duo to the magnificent welcome nnd un stinted hospitality provided by the cit izens of O'Neill , for which It Is justly celebrated. "Whereas , The Elkhorn Valley Edi torial association has been so plea santly and profitably entertained by the citizens of O'Neill , bo it therefore - fore "Resolved , That the association hereby returns Its thanks to the Misses O'Fallon and Mr. John Sul- lUtin f-ir their delightful songs , to , M" * P. ( iol'lrn ' and Holding for the IIMC of their hall fur the meetings , to .avloloito btothorH for the music and i the eltl/etiM for Iho eloganl banquel orved the association by the Prosby- erlan ladles ; to the press of O'Neill > r their efforts In entertaining the Hsuclallon , and that the members irosont shall ever have n warm re- ard for O'Neill. " The announcement was made that n adjournment would be taken to iiildon'H hall , where the boys and Iris could dance as long as tholr am- ) llion lasted. Here again the people f the city mingled with the guests nd gave thorn n good time , to music urnlshed by the biggest little orches- ra In existence. Every person present voted n hearty ndorHotnont of Iho sentiments of ho resolution committee , and every ) iio present was delighted over the irlght spot In the oasis of newspaper grind which had boon furnished by the mspltality of the public spirited clt /.ens of O'Neill. The Experience of a Merchant. Gradually , hut positively and sure- y , the country merchants of the west ire becoming moro and more to Iho ho belief that advertising must bo extensively done In order to got now luslness , shut olT the mall order louse patronage and hnlld up. Sneaking of advertising as a propo sition I'or the more-haul oiilsldo of the largo cltlos , J. Gallagher , who Is > iio of the well known merchants of D'Nolll , said to a representative of 1'ho News : "I have advertised moro than over during the pasl year. I Iliul that it pays. I have made up my mind to wut out all types of advertising ex cept the newspaper sort. I believe that In this way I got moro returns find bettor. During ono year my bill for space used lu ono weekly paper alone amounted to ever $500. It Is the only way to roach the buyers. Wo have calls for articles advertised. I believe that my newspaper ndvortls- Ing has been the sole cause for my increased business. In this way , and In this alone , can we moot and beat the mail order houses of the east. " FARMERS ARE NOT WANTING MORE RAIN NOW. THEY MUST DRAIN OR DROWN The Days of "Emigration or Irrlga- lion" are Things of the Past Through Northeastern Nebraska Elkhorn Running Along the Brim. Ton jonrs ago the farmers and cltl- ons of this section of the world wore praying for rain. The Holds were dried up and the crops wore burned to death. There wns a walling for water on every hand. Today the farmers and citizens of drouth strick en Nebraska arc praying for a let up in moisture are trying , by some means , to devise n method for drain ing off the surplus water from tholr Holds. Ton years ago there was a cry that passed from farm to farm out In the western country which said , "Wo must either emigrate or irrigate. ' Today there is a campaign yell which says that they must either drown or drain. As a result of the rains which fell over this section last week , the rivers of northern Nebraska are more than bank full today. Far up In the lieadwntors of the streams the water Is just skimming the top edges of Hie course and with a tiny hit more of rain , the lands through which the , rivers run , would be Inundated. Near Atkinson the Elkhorn river Is right up to the brim. It is that way clear down the stream and with in a very few days It may be expect ed that the Hood will reach this Im- 'mediate territory. While the channel will probably he > uble to take care of the water which Is running , yet there Is n lot of It all the way along nnd more rain will mean a probable overflow at cer tain points. Corn will probably suffer slightly from the extended wet weather nnd the cold spell. Yet the farmers or the new northwest are thnnking their lucky stars they don't live down in Iowa , where there have been wash outs for several years past nnd where they will likely have to replant again this season. Farewell to Miss Daly. Lindsay , Neb. , June 4.

SWEET RETURNED TO O'NEILL ' Man Charged With Horrible Crime is Again Placed In the Jail of Holt County. Sheriff Hall of Holt county returned Dell Swoct to the jail at O'Neill Sat urday evening. The prisoner wns heavily handcuffed when the sheriff put him on the train at Neligh , where ho had boon kept In seclusion while the excitement over the crime with which he is charged quieted down. Arriving within half a mile of O'Neill the train was stopped and the sheriff nnd his man dropped off , walking to the Jail. In this manner the sheriff was able to get his prisoner inside the bars without being obliged to pass through the streets of the town and without attracting attention. Sweet does not look to bo the man that ho is charged. Ho is a man of perhaps 25 or 30 years of age , his ap pearance would indicate that ho has considerable personal pride , and his face shows moro than ordinary Intel ligence. It Is said that ho is a college man and It does not seem possible that he would bo capable of a crime by the side of which ordinary murder would bo tame , nnd yet appearances are very much against him. Sheriff Hall said that ho did not really believe that It was' necessary to take the prisoner nwny from Holt county , ns ho felt assured that the bet * tor judgment of the people would pre vail If mob violence were attempted , but ho adlnlttcd that the provocation was great , and to make sure that a blot bo not upon the name of Holt county ho took the precautions of placing his prisoner whore ho could not be found. The trial of Sweet will bo hold at the next term of district court The Rosebud Indian Reservation. 382,000 acres of fertile and well wa tered lands open to settlement Some two years ago the Chicago & Northwestern R'y. built the Vordlgro and Boncsteol line to the eastern bor der of the Rosebud Indian reserva tion , thus securing the only direct line from Chicago , Minneapolis , St. Paul , Sioux City , Omaha and ether points n the west to the fertile region which Is now to be thrown open to settlement under the United States homestead laws.
