A crane on which to hang the mail sack was erected at Spudville yesterday, Work on the new' M. E. church at Hershey will be resumed as soon as the subscriptions can be collec ted. H. W. Brown, is visiting relatives and friends in Sidney. Tbe masquerade dance at Her- shey Friday evening was enjoyed by about thirty couples. Mrs. E?ra Keen, of Np,rth Platte, was recently a guest; qf her parents Mr. aqd Mrs. 5ru.uk, Ira Baly, Jr is laboring, over in Myrtle preciugt these days. The Maccahees have made some needed improvements to their hall at Hershey recently. It is said a future change will be the removal of the stairway from the south .to the north side of the building, and that it will be enclosed. Rev. Coslet preached to a fair-size- d audience at Nichols Sunday morning. He will be there again in two weeks. Grandma Erickson has been on the sick list again lately. Charles Whjdlen and Jou Herrpd of the Platte were up along the line last Thursday on business. Rev. Stearns, the Baptist minis- ter from North Platte, began a series of revival meetings at Nichols last evening. Mrs. A. O. Randall who has been sick for some time is reported as no better at this writing. Ed Loveland, of the hub, 1ms been scouring this country lately in pursuit of fat hogs, A. S. Brown, an insurance agent from the county seat, was looking after customers up this way last week.

R, White who has resided upon the Hostetter farm the past year will soon move upon the Tbos. Stimson farm, now owned by J. R's father. Where the old gentleman and lady will move to we did not learn. S. H. Phenicie purchased the Hostetter farm last spring and will move upon the same in the near future, hence the above change. A couple of chaps from Nichols masked and went lip to the mas- querade at Hershey last -- Friday night and cut quite a swell around town, flunkingho doubt that they Were not 'recognized. ! But they were skdly' mistaken, as several 'got on to" them almostimmediate-ly- , and hall quite a little sport with them. It is a difficult rnatter for parties to disguise themselves so that their friends will not recognize them, unless they change their gait somewhat. Pat.

The recount of ballots iu twelve precincts in Dawson county result ed in a slight increase in the ma- jority ot W. C. May, tfy rpp,tb,lican candidate for. cp.unty cerH-- . The recount was instituted by the pop- ulists, Thirty-fiv- e persons joined the Presbyterian church on Sunday last. A few of the number became members by letter, but nearly all had embraced religion as the result of the revivals conducted in the church a few weeks airo. Lexinir- - ton Pioneer. Judge Seville, handed, cQ-- mi opinion receitfty in the actioa brought against the secretary of the social club at Kearney for sell ing liquor to guests without a state license. The Judge held the defend- ant guilty, b,ut the latter is in Con- necticut wid beyond the reach of the state courts. I. A. Fort, of North Platte, state irrigation lecturer, was in the city yesterday looking after the pro gress of the irrigation canals in this section; also laud interests for which he is agent. Mr, Fort has not been here for a year and during that time at least 30,000 acres of land tributary to Gotbenbunr have been put under completed irri gation canals. Gothenburg Inde- pendent. Judge Grimes has made arrange- ments whereby Judge Kendell, of the St. Paul district, will hold the next terms of court in Deuel county while Judge Grimes will hold court forjudge Kendell in his district. This exchange is made necessary for the reason of Judge Grimes','ex-tensf- e law practice in s. county prior tp his electipn. , Many of the faces lie was interested in" will be tried at this next term, in fact all these cases will be pushed for trial at this term.Chappell Register, The crop of small grain raised in Dawson county in 1895 and mar- keted in Lexington was much larg er than at ft rst expected. We learn from Mr. Brix, manager of the Lex ington Mill and Elevator company, that besides their shipments of 129 carloads of flour, feed and grain during the past four months of the year just closed, they now have on hand 103 carloads ot wheats and wheat products, and that the local trade and exchange of flour for wheat has been unusually large the past seaspn, aggregating in all over. twenty-fou- r carloads of flour, mak- ing a total of 256 carloads received. Lexington Pioneer. Judge Grimes, of North Platte, and his immediate friends are put- ting a check on the boom of the Judge for congress. Judge Grimes is deeply sensible of the honor con- ferred upon him by the republicans of the 13th Judicial District, and he feels that he is in duty bound to serve them as judge during the whole term for which he was elected, instead using his position to reach higher. It is no doubt flattering to Mr. Grimes to hear his name so kindly mentioned by his friends all over this congressional district, for an honor that would be pleasing to his ambition, but he is conscious of the fact that he owes his time and talents to the 13th Judicial District, and that it would be ungrateful on his part to desert his present posi- tion, wp,n after such a hard and brilliant fight by the republicans. Few men would take such an un- selfish view of the situation, but the Judge will not lose any prestige by the course he has taken. Brok- en Bow Republican. FORTUNES IN SMALL FARMS. George Heed, of Wellfleet, who has already had something to say to the farmers about the possibili ties of Nebraska soil which they are neglecting, brought to the Journal yesterday some samples of onions and potatoes raised under irrigation in Lincoln county. The onions Jie raised himself, harvesting just 375 bushels from half an acre. His neighbor C. A. Glaze, pumped water from a well with a windmill and had the satisfaction of digging 440 bushels of fine potatoes from a single acre. Mr. Heed put water on five acres and made $1,000 by the operation last season. His neigh- bor is preparing to irrigate his whole farm by the windmill method. The cost will npt exgeed $30 an acre, and he estimates that he could make money if his plants cost as much as $50 an acre,. The windmill is bringing about a new dispensation in Lincoln coun- ty. The fanners who have had the enterprise and stability to stick' through the bad seasons of the ast three years now feel tlrat they have their feet firmly planted on the road o prosperity. They have the rich est soil n the world. They have an ideal climate. It lias been dem- - onstrated again and again in the last two years that five acres under irrigation will support a family, that ten acres will give a comtort- - ableiucome, and that a small .field ot alfalta, a herd of stock, and ten acres under water will in a. tew years yield a competence. The experience of Ljncoln county is the experience of practically ev ery cpunty in western Nebraska. Everywbere the gospel of alfalfa is being preached by big fields and big stacks of alfalfa. Everywhere windmills are furnishing water for small fields of grajns and vegeta- bles. Wherever alfalfa has gained a foothold and wherever irrigation has been given a fair trial one"finds farmers who have no question about the future of their part of the state. Lincoln Journal.

Religious revivals are now in pro- gress in nearly all the towns of the state, and hundreds ot people are seeking the new light. The Treasury deficit for the cur- rent fiscai 3'ear is over $20,000,000, and still the A'dministsation would have the country believe that there, is no lack of revenue.

Four hundred horses have been killed during the fall and early winter on one range near Pyramid lake, Nevada, and but $2 was real- ized on each animal.

Lexington Pioneer.Judge Grimes, of North Platte,

and his immediate friends are put-ting a check on the boom of theJudge for congress. Judge Grimesis deeply sensible of the honor con-

ferred upon him by the republicansof the 13th Judicial District, and hefeels that he is in duty bound toserve them as judge during thewhole term for which he was elected,instead using his position to reachhigher. It is no doubt flattering toMr. Grimes to hear his name sokindly mentioned by his friends allover this congressional district, foran honor that would be pleasing tohis ambition, but he is conscious ofthe fact that he owes his time andtalents to the 13th Judicial District,and that it would be ungrateful onhis part to desert his present posi-tion, wp,n after such a hard andbrilliant fight by the republicans.Few men would take such an un-

selfish view of the situation, butthe Judge will not lose any prestigeby the course he has taken. Brok-en Bow Republican.

FORTUNES IN SMALL FARMS.

George Heed, of Wellfleet, whohas already had something to sayto the farmers about the possibilities of Nebraska soil which they areneglecting, brought to the Journalyesterday some samples of onionsand potatoes raised under irrigationin Lincoln county. The onionsJieraised himself, harvesting just 375bushels from half an acre. Hisneighbor C. A. Glaze, pumpedwater from a well with a windmilland had the satisfaction of digging440 bushels of fine potatoes from asingle acre. Mr. Heed put wateron five acres and made $1,000 by theoperation last season. His neigh-bor is preparing to irrigate hiswhole farm by the windmill method.The cost will npt exgeed $30 an acre,and he estimates that he could makemoney if his plants cost as much as$50 an acre,.

The windmill is bringing about anew dispensation in Lincoln coun-ty. The fanners who have had theenterprise and stability to stick'through the bad seasons of the astthree years now feel tlrat they havetheir feet firmly planted on the roado prosperity. They have the rich

est soil n the world. They havean ideal climate. It lias been dem- -

onstrated again and again in thelast two years that five acres underirrigation will support a family,that ten acres will give a comtort- -

ableiucome, and that a small .fieldot alfalta, a herd of stock, and tenacres under water will in a. tewyears yield a competence.

The experience of Ljncoln countyis the experience of practically every cpunty in western Nebraska.Everywbere the gospel of alfalfa isbeing preached by big fields andbig stacks of alfalfa. Everywherewindmills are furnishing water forsmall fields of grajns and vegeta-bles. Wherever alfalfa has gaineda foothold and wherever irrigationhas been given a fair trial one"findsfarmers who have no question aboutthe future of their part of the state.
