feed about'3,000 head of cattle hero this
Reason nnd have half of them hare now.
They nro both raon of wealth and will beef
of great benolitto thu city nnd country
around. There nro prospects for the
feeding of about 7,000 head of cattle anil
, 15,000 head of sheep hero this coming
winter. This will make good demand
for hay nnd grain , but wo have plenty of
both and to spare.
( The late rains have helped corn to a
considerable extent nnd we will proba-
lily have thruo-qtmrters of n crop. There
is n largo increase in iicreasc. Corn is
being contracted in the field for future
dolirery at 25 cents per bushel.

cr of deeds , J. E. Hays ; clerk of district

roasurer , E. J. Roderick ; coroner , Dr.
" . M. Somors ; superintendent of schools ,

"nsko.
The delegates to the judicial conyon-
ion were instructed for "Ginral" L.V. .
Jolby , ho of somewhat unsavory ropnta-
Ion , both political aud otherwise , for
listrict judge. His competitor was lion
S. K. Riggs.
Colby won the victory , but how ? To
ay by trickery and the basest lying is
'rawing It mildly. The nefarious moth-
da of Church Howe and "Ginral" Colby
at the primaries and convention of last
year , aud the terrible but merited rebuke
at the polls are yet fresh in the minds of
nil. Those acts , however , are almost
universally regarded as saintly , com
pared with the chicanery by which
ho people were robbed of a choice of
nominees.
The above ticket , with the exception of
one or two minor oilir.es , was put up by
Colby and especially in his interests.
The primaries were run by him and Ms
hirelings wherever possible. In other
cases by some of the nominees and other
candidates , afterward sold out , who
' : hough good men in many respects , al-
owed their intense itching for office to
got the better of their manhood and in
dependence so far as to induce them to
listen to the fair and seductive promises
of the oily and smooth-tongued Colby ,
"or whom they also had a wholciome
'car. ' For with all his faults , Colby is en
ergetic and scruples not 'at any moans to
revenge himself upon those wno hesitate
to obey his mandates or work for his ag
grandizement. Space is too limited to
enter into det.iil , but for ono illustration :
In Beatrice the primary ticket for dele
gates was put up In secret by n few can
didates for office who allowed Colby to
name the men , ho having made so many
line promises. The result was the one
printed ticket and that alone , and many
are the earnest republicans who loft the
polls in disgust without voting u ticicct
on which the Colby earmarks showed so
plainly. Since that time men hired to
dispense boodle have spared no time or
money working among delegates
throughout the county who were sus
pected ot having "an itching palm" for
gold or an abnormal desire for oflicial
position. Every energy was bent to the
ono object , so much so that on the day ol
the convention delegates who were novel
before known to have so much monoy.arc
said to have displayed twenty dollar gold
piece with the remark that they cared
nothing about the result but had families
to support. '
At the convention a secret ballot of the
entire convention was taken , notwith
standing the fact that a vigorous protcsf
was entered by the fair and honest mom'
bora who desired a call and announce
ment of the vote by precincts. Tbo re
sult is that probably one-third of th <
delegates will go home and work with i
will against some men on the ticket , whc
secured their nomination by unholy alli
ances and corrupt indlhods of bargair
and sale. I have talked with fully a scon
who will do this.
The convention adjourned about dark
Saturdap night , but until long after mid
night were an indignant people on the
streets discusfing the best methods of ad
ministering a stinging rebuke to the nnj
method of making nominations.
The democrats , union labor party and
prohibitionists have yet to hold their con
vcntions end it is possible that they am
the dlssatislied republicans will so unit
as to make a tolerably clean sweep thi ;
fall.
fall.In
In regard to Colby , should he bo noml
nated for district judge our prcsen
judge , Hon. J. II. Broady , will undoubt
cdly bo the democratic nominee and re
colvo the support of the bettor class of re
publicans , as ho did four years ago. I
will bo remembered , at the time Colby
then the republican nominee , lo *
every county in the district and hi
own county by moro than 1,000 , am
where the democratic vote is light m
deed. Last year when the regular re
publican nominee for state senator , will
all the wealth nnd indue nco of Senate
Paddock and the First National bank a
his back , ho won by a small plurality
though he lucked nearly 000 of having :
majority. And in this race his opponent :
woto weaklings politically , whllo som
of Van Wyck's most trusted friends wor
guilty of treachery the most damnabl
and supported this same Colby. He ca
never bo elected judge in this district.
The indignation of the people is inton
Billed by the fact that Church Howe ha
been hero twice within the past ten days
nnd a prominent republican is nuthont
that ho was working ; hard for Colby an
stated that should Griggs bo nominate
that he would aoo ho got no votes in N (
inaha county. Not that our voters deif
Grijjijs , but they will repudiate Churcl
Howu's put up of conventions as they dl
hero last year when ho tried It.

prosperous part than the Logan valte ]
The BBK'S correspondent has been alon
the Logan from Lyoni to W yn with !
the past few weeks and never witnessed
such evidence of growth , prosperity and
rapid development as there are along
this fertile valley. The crops this year
will surpass all former years in both
yield and acreage. * These portions of
the Omaha and Wlnnobago reservations
that were opened to settlement a year erse
so ago are now laid out into fine farms. '
The towns along this valley nro all pros
ferine finely. Bancroft , surrounded by
as rich and productive soil as there Is In
the state , has every facility to
make and sustain a good town.
The shippers here have the choice
of Omaha and Sioux City markets , which
eventually will receive all the produce
from tills part of the state.
Ponder , the next town north of here , ts
a flourishing llttlo village built upon that
part of the Winncbago reservation
opened to settlement whcro a few years
ngo there were only gophers , wolves and
jack-rabbits.
Emerson , Wakefiold and Wayne are
all active towns and surrounded by as
rich farming and grazing country as
there is in the state. So far , this part of
the state has never bcon materially in
jured by the drought.
There is great need of a competing
railroad from this section to the loading
marxota , m order to give shippers
cheaper transportation and better prices.

THE FALL , OF A SHELL.
Tolstoi's Description of a Dying Alan'a
Tbonghtfi.
Count Lee Tolstoi in "Sebastopol" thus
describes the fall of a shell : "To earth ! "
shouted n voice. MiklmilolT and 1'ras-
koukino obeyed. The latter , with shut
eyes , heard the shell fall somewhere on
the hard earth very near him. A second
which appears to him nn hour , passed ,
and the shell did not burst. Prnskoukino
was frightened , then ho asked himself
what causu ho had for foar. Perhaps it
had tullon farther away aud ho wrongly
imagined that ho hoard the fuse hissing
near him. Opening his eyes ho was satis-
lied to see MikhailolT stretched motion
less at his feet , but at the same time he
perceived , a yard otT , the lighted fuse of
the shall spinning around like a top. A
glacial torror.which stilled every thought ,
cvocy sentiment , took posesulon of his
soul. Ifb hid his face in his hands.
Another second passed , during which a
whole world of thoughts , of hopcs.of sen
sations and of souvenirs passed through
hU mind. "Whom will It kill ? Mo or
MikhailofT , or indeed both of us together ?
If it is I , where will it hit mo ? If in the
head it will be all over ; if on the toot
they will cut it oil' . Then 1 must insist
that they give mo chloroform nnd I may
got well. Perhaps MikhailolT alone will
bo killed , nnd later I will toll how wo
were cloo together nnd how 1 was cov
ered with his ulood. No , no ; it Is nearer
me : it will bo 11" Then ho remembered
the twelve roubles ho owed Mlkhatlou"
and another debt loft at Petersburg ,
which ought to have bcon paid long ago.
A Bohemian nlr thnt ho snn the evening
before came to his mind. Ho also saw
in his imagination the lady ho was in
love with in her lilac trimmed bonnet ;
the man who had insulted him five years
boforc , and whom ho had never taken
vengeance on. But in the midst of these
nnd many other souvenirs the prosout
fooling Ino expectation of death-
did not leavohim. . "Perhaps
it isn't going to explode ! "
ho thought , and was on the
point of opening his eyes with desperate
boldness. But at this instant a red lire
struck his eyeballs through the closed
lids , something hit him in the middle of
the chest with a terrible crash. Ho ran
forward at random , entangled his foot in
his sword , stumbled , nnd toll on his side.
"God bo praised , " I am only bruised. "
This was his first thought , nnd ho wanted
to feel of his breast , but his hands seemed
as if they wore tied. A vice gripped his
head , soldiers ran before his eyes , and ho
mechanically counted them : "Ono , two ,
three soldiers , and besides , anothcor who
is losing his cloak I" A now light Unshed ;
ho wondered what had fired. Wns it a
mortar or a cannon ? Doubtless a canon.
Another shot , moro soldiers five.1 six ,
seven. They passed in front of him , nnd
suddenly ho became terribly afraid
of being crushed by them. Ho wanted
to crv out , to Riiy that ho wn bruised
but Ins lips were dry , his tongun was
glued to the roof of his mouth. Ho had
a burning thirst. He felt that his breast
was damp , and the sensation of this moisture <
turo made him think of water. He would
have liked to drink that which drenched
him. "I must have knocked the skin off
in falling , " he said to himself , moro nnd
moro frightened ( ft the idea of being
crushed by the soldiers who were running
in crowds before him. He tried again to
cry out , "Tnko mo I" but instead of that
ho uttered a groan so terrible that ho was
frightened at it himself. Thou red spams
danced before his eyes it seamed as if
the soldiers were pilling stones on him.
The sparks danced nioro rapidly , the
stonMtfiilcd on him stilled him moro and
moro HB stretched himself out ; ho
ceased to sec , to hear , to think , to foul.
Ho had been killed instantly by a piece of
shell striking him full in the breast.

Beware of Scrofula
Scrofula Is probably more general than any
other disease. It is insidious In character ,
and manifests Itself In running sores , pustular
eruptions , bolls , swellings , enlarged Joints ,
abscesses , sere eyes , etc. Hood's Sarsaparllla
expels all trace ot scrofula from the blood ,
leaving It pure , enriched , and healthy.
" I was severely aflllcted with scrofula , and
orer a year had two running torrs on my neck.
Took five bottles Hood's Sarsaparllla , and am
cured. " C. E. LOVZJOT , Lowell , Mass.
C. A. Arnold , Arnold , Me. , had scrofulous
nores for seven years , spring and ( all. Hood's
Sarsapaillla cured him.
Salt Rheum
Is one of the most dlsagroeabledlseases paused
by Impure blood. It Is readily cured by Hood's
Barsaparllla , the great blood purifier.
William Spies , Elyrla , O. , suffered crcatly
from erysipelas and salt rheum , caused by
handling tobacco. At times his hands would
crack open and bleed. Ho tried various prep- '
aratlons without aid ; dually took Hood's H.ir-
eaparllla , and novr says : " I am entirely n ell. "
"My son had salt rheum on his hands and
on the calves of his legs. He took Hood's
Barsaparllla and U entirely cured. " J. I ) .
