Irrigation ia Nebraska.
Nebraska is one of the best states in
the Union for mixed agriculture and
stock raising. This is a fact conceded
by all who are Tensed on the subject.
When the elements are just right, the
results in agricultural products are sim
ply wonderful, but there is scarcely a
year but what during some part of the
growing season it would be a great ad
vantage to the farmer if he could give
the crops some water. In very many
sections of the great west, irrigation is
indispensible to the growth of crops.
Water must be supplied, to raise any
thing. Nebraska has always produced a
portion of a crop, sometimes a big one,
without any artificial supply of water,
bnt her facilities for production would
be greatly multiplied by the successful
irrigation of her very fertile soil.
Along her natural stroams this can
measurably be done by taking from
them, but on tho table lands, it must
mainly be accomplished by artesian
wella
It is thought that these wells can be
sunk with success almost anywhere in
the Missouri river basin, and there is
much to encourage the farmers of Ne
braska to a thorough test of the matter.
In The Jodbnal we have already not
ed two instances in Platte county where
water rose to within a few feet of the
surface, and it is natural to infer that a
still lower depth would strike a gusher.
The well on the government square at
Lincoln is a constant reminder. There
is one at Omaha. The one at Fort Ran
dall is 000 foet deep and sends a stream
forty feet into the air. It has been
flowing for years, and there is no abate
ment of its energy, says the O'Neill
Frontier.
The one ait Santee Agency, bolow Nio
brara, yields a volume of 15,000 gallons
a minute and is 750 feet deep. The one
at Yankton has been (lowing for years
and furnishes till tho water used by the
city for all purposes. It is 650 feet
deep.
South Dakota, right north of Nebras
ka, is greatly interested in irrigation by
artesian wells, and there are many of
them in the state, especially the Jim
river valley.
Wit! Nebraska it is only a question of
exper-v-tho interest taken by the gen-"-il
government will doubtless produce
good results.
Death and Pensions.
Thero is one important fact which is
not taken into account by the demo
cratic organs that aro making such an
outcry over an alleged increase of vast
proportions in pension expenditures.
That fact is death. Last year 21,000
pensioners were dropped from the rolls
lecau8e they had gone over to the silent
army. Thus whilo it is true that large
additions have been made to the pension
rolls under recent republican legislation
it is not less true that the hand of death
is erasing soldier names by thousands
from the rolls. Henceforth it is not un
likely that the number of the dead will
annually almost equal the number of
new pensioners. It will not be
long until death will get the upper
hand. Lot those who grudge the old
veterans the friendly interposition of the
richest government upon earth, a gov
ernment saved largely through their
sacrifices, possess themselves in patience.
Not many years at most can pass before
their ranks will be decimated with more
fearful rapidity than when they joined
the charge up to the cannon's mcuth.
It is now nearly a third of a century
since they left their homes for the camp
and all the varied perils of war, and over
a quarter of a century since the war was
over. At tho age now reached by the
surviving veterans the ill-healed wounds
of battle and the insidious advances of
tho diseases of exposure in camp and on
tho tramp, in prison dens and fever
swamps, make fearful ravages. Here
and there thero tiro exceptions. Here
and there may bo mistaken provisions of
tho law. But oven at this late day, al
though republics may sometimes be
ungrateful, the people of this over-rich
country are not going to join hands with
death in a crusade against the old vet
erans of the war for the union. They
are not going to reverse their sympathies
and enter upon a grudging, cheese-paring
policy of pensions in the few years
that remain till the last old soldier signs
the last pension claim and passes from
this world beyond the reach of any favor
of the government. Sioux City Journal.
In broad daylight last Tuesday after
noon Joseph N. Asier, cashier of the All
erton packing company's establishment
at the stockyards, Chicago,was "held up"
in his office by two men of granger-like
appearance and relieved of $3,200 in
cash. It had been brought in from the
bank a few minutes before to payoff the
men. The two strangers suddenly en
tered the office and in an instant the
cashier was looking down the muzzle of
a big revolver. He was commanded to
empty the money into a canvas bag
which .is held by a second stranger.
Eigh' n hundred men were working in
1c poking house, of which the office is
i. part, but when the man with the gun
said: "I'm nervous and this may go off
if you don't hurry," the cashier hurried.
A teamster came into the office, but was
quickly covered by the second man's re
volver. Tho robbers backed out of the
door, barred it on the outside and made
off in a buggy. No trace of them has
been found.
Jim Dover lost five head of cattle last
week, all inside of 24 hours. The ani
mals had eaten their fill of dry corn
stalks, which caked in their stomachs,
causing death. Dr. Otto TJnderberg,
V. S., held a post-mortem examination,
and says that was the only cause, as the
dry stalks taken into an animal's stom
sch in large quantities is indigestible.
Dr. TJnderberg suggests that cattle own
ers give their animals plenty of sulphur
and saltpetre in their salt, plenty of
water and keep them up and give them
hay or straw in the mornings. Do not
let them out in the stalk fields until
afternoons, nor on an empty stomach,
and there will be no danger of their dy
ing from overeating of the dry and indi
gestible com stalks. Madison Chroni
cle. Tee indictment of Thomas Miller, late
of this city, and now with the Q." at
Chicago, together with several other
-railway officials on a charge of violating
the interstate law. sets railway men to
thinking! G. M. Lambertson of Lincoln,
counsel for Tom Lowery, the grain
shipper of that city, is said to have had
the most to do with the prosecution. It I
is said that Lowery grew rich on re
bates before the interstate law waa pass
ed, and that since its passage he has
brought trait for $100,000 against the
" Q.,n alleging that it has given rebates
to others and refused them to him. If
Mr. Lambertson can show that rebates
were given by the "Q." to other grain
dealers he can make good use of the evi
dence in Lowery 's suit Omaha World-Herald.
We imported last year carpet wools to

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.
Saggeatloa to ear Nebraska Stateaaea, Coat
piled froat ear State Excaaagefl.
The farmers have a clean majority of
the legislature and they will doubtless
see to it that the assessment methods of
the state are carefully overhauled and
revised. Every dollar's worth of prop
erty in the state, publio or private,
should be assessed at full value under
severe penalties for assessors and assess
ed. And has it occurred to members
elect that they have a grand opportunity
in this to immortalize themselves? A
record that the first farmers' legislature
of the state had raised the assessed val
uation of the state from four hundred to
six hundred per cent and reduced taxes
from 4 to 6 per cent, to less than 1 per
cent would certainly be a feather that
every member of the legislature could
wear in his cap with glory and honor.
Fremont FlaiL
One of the much needed reforms to be
looked after by the legislature this win
ter is the passage of a law governing the
handling of the county funds. Give the
county treasurer a reasonable salary for
himself and also for deputy hire and let
the benefit arising from the deposit of
the county funds go into the treasury.
Give the people a just and equitable law
that will put an' end to the office of
county treasurer being a bone of con
tention. Wahoo New Era.
The next legislature will effectually
put a quietus upon all chattel mortgage
loaning in this state and it may be just
as well, as it will merely shorten the
length of the victim's string, The real
danger is that the real estate and per
sonal security legislation may be made
so drastic as to drive capital out of the
state. David City Press.
.
The editor of the Polk County Demo
crat, says the David City Tribune, asks
the question: "How does the Tribune
know that the present treasurer of Polk
county gets 4 per cent for the use of the
surplus money of the county?" The
answer is this, because one of the bank
ers who usee the money and has some of
it on deposit has said that 4 per cent
was the amount which he had to pay.
The Tribune does not ask that the
legislature pass a law prohibiting the
county treasurers from depositing in a
bank. It simply desires that the county
commissioners at their annual meetings
may be allowed to designate the bank or
bankers in which it may be deposited
and decide that part after receiving bids
from all the responsible bankers in the
county. In this way quite a sum might
be saved to the people and the tax pay-
era thereby get the benefit of their own
money on deposit with banks. This
would prevent quite a war in politics at
every biennial election when a treasurer
is to be elected.
.
The laws of Nebraska fix the rate of
toll to be taken by grist mills, but it is
evaded by the pools, as usual. A Co
lumbus friend of the farmer suggests
that here is work for the next legisla
ture. Let the next legislature make any
exchange or transfer to be held as toll
and give the farmer redress and damage
any time within two years from the
transaction. This would make it harder
to evade the law. Then let it be made a
conspiracy to rob to go into a pool to
raise the price of any article, and a com
mon action by parties be held as prima
facie evidence of such conspiracy.
Monroe Looking Glass.
So far as the Tribune has been able to
learn, there is law enough on our statute
books in relation to the much talked
question of assessments. It seems that
the last session of the legislature passed
a law requiring that each and every as
sessor should return property at its full
value and a penalty was fixed for its
violation. There does not seem to have
been but one county, however, which
complied with the law. One of the
worst advertisements which the state
has had daring the entire period of its
existence is the publication of the fact
that assessors return land at $6 per acre
and no one abroad who has not been in
Nebraska is apt to consider the fact that
such land is worth five times that
amount. Furthermore taxes on the face
of the returns appear to be in the neigh
borhood of 10 per cent, when in fact
they only amount to about 2 per cent on
the valuation. The statesman who will
do something to bring about a change in
this particular, will be considered a pub
lic benefactor. David City Tribune.
For the incoming farmer legislature to
appropriate $100,000 for the relief of our
distressed people in the western drouth
stricken counties, would be the proper
thing to do. Ulysses Dispatch.
.
We give, below, an abstract of a letter
from a gentleman at Central City, in regard-to
a phase of legislation that is of
more man usual interest to the cities
and towns of the state. There is no
doubt but publio opinion in the rural
districts is just about as indicated by
the paragraph:
Two matters are apparently settled
by the recent election first, the license
policy will be indefinitely continued;
second, the people have decided that
class legislation must be blotted oat in
Nebraska. Things to be attended to
this winter the amending of the Slo
cum law. As the law now stands the
license fees all go into the treasuries of
the cities and towns, while the expense
of the prosecution of saloon criminals is
paid by the county at large. This is the
worst kind of legislation. It discrimin
ates directly in favor of the people of the
towns, and directly against the farming
community. The fair thing to do would
be to amend the license law that all
money derived from saloon license
should go into county treasuries where
it inures equally to tho benefit of all
the people, so that those who bear the
burdens of government shall participate
also in its benefits. Suppose that money
waa equally divided between all the
schools of the county in proportion to
school population instead of a few
schools in the towns? Then all the peo
ple in Nebraska would be benefited
equally, and one more piece of class leg
islation would be knocked out. Such a
law would distribute about a million of
dollars among the country schools of the
state, which now goes into the school
fund of the towns and cities. Is thero
any reason on earth why the farmer
should voluntarily give a million of dol
lars to the cities and towns? The towns
of Nebraska are not infants, that they
need to be protected at the expense of
the country. The independent party of
this state has received no favors from
the cities. In fact Omaha has used the
most vile and disgraceful tactics to de
feat Gov. Powers and the independent
ticket I don't want the farmers to de
mand anything that is not justly due
them; but I do want them to have every
right to which they are justly entitled.
The proposed law would be just and it
would be tremendously popular. It
would tend to cement and strengthen
the iudopendont party, and there is not
an independent voter in the state who
would not favor the measure."

"Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told mo of its
good effect upon their children."
Da. O. C. OsoooD,
Unveil, Masa.
Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day ia not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the variousquack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves.'
