pound of the later cut hay was more nutri-

the earlier cut lots. These two reports were
full and were accomplished by analysis by

the COUNTY ELECTION.

We regret that we can not chronicle
the election of the entire Republican
ticket. but II IL 30 nearly elected that
the Republicans of the county have
reason to be highly gratified. The only
person defeated was Mr.. Ed Nelson.
candidate for Register of Deeds. Mr..
Nelson Is very worthy young man,
and being representative man Of his
people We hoped to see him run fully
up TO his ticket. His defeat can be
charged to the acts and representa-
tons Of Mr.. Holmqvist. Independent
candidate for Sheriff. Had Mr.. Holm
qvist not been a candidate, Mr.. Nelson
would have been elected.
The election of Mr.. Radcliff to the
Office of Sheriff by 50 large a ma
jority is a splendid endorsement. We
believe that the people Of Saline coun-
ty will never have reason to regret
having thus honored Mr.. Radcliff.
He will discharge the duties of the
new position as ably, honestly and
imPartially a. i'm the other important
offices which he has hitherto filled.
Mr.. w. Ii. Scholl was reelected
County Commissioner by good ma
jority, and it was because the people
were perfectly satisfied with the fine
record he has hitherto made in this
