Stock Growers Association Meeting.

The regular annual meeting Of the
Southwestern Nebraska Stock Growers
Association was held at Benkleman,
Neb., May 1st, 1885. Meeting was call
ed to order by President Bird. W. j.
McGillin, Acting Secretary. Minutes
of called meeting held at McCook,
April 10th, 1885, read and approved.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year was the next order of business,
which resulted as follows President,
Benz. Bird 4; Vice-President, w. j. Nc
Gillin; Secretary and Treasurer, j. B.
Meserve.
An Executive Committee consisting
Of FIVE members was then elected
Benz. Bird, j. G. Stokes, D. Guernsey,
w. III. Davenport and J. T. Wray.
The question of the Red Willow AS
ISOLATION having advertised their round
up to commence May 18th, was taken
up, and while all the members present
were disposed to concede them the date,
if possible, it was deemed impossible to
do SO, after thorough discussion, as many
members had already planned their work
so as to commence on the goth, and
could not change their arrangements SO
as to be able to attend roundup on
the 18th. Also, that the date had been
SO thoroughly advertised that all out
side parties could come and get their
strays out of this county, that it was
considered inexpedient to change the
date at this late day. The Secretary
was instructed to correspond with the
officers of the Red Willow Association,
and, to urge them to wait until the goth,
so that but one roundup shall occur on
the Red Willow.
On motion of W. j. McGillin, the
date of the annual meeting was changed
to the second Monday of April of each
year, and that the place of meeting be
at McCook, instead of Benkleman, as
heretofore.
Motion was made and carried that if
any member of the Executive Commit
tee fail to serve, from any cause, the
President shall have power to appoint
another to act in his place.
Motion was made and carried that
the matter of fre-guards be left entirely
in the hands of the Executive Commit
tee, and that they meet at Culbertson,
Neb., on the 18th of May, 1885, and
hear any suggestions that any member
has to make, and determine, how much
the association shall expend on the same,
and make arrangements for blowing by
contract. BENZ. BIRD, President.

'FoR years the Pioneer Press, almost
alone among the daily newspapers of
this state, has been fighting prohibition.
To-day we sheath the sword. Henceforth
it will offer no opposition to i constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting the man
ufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors
in the state. Tens of thousands who
have agreed with the Pioneer Press in
preferring the more moderate policy will
accept prohibition as the only means of
emancipating this state from the inso-
lent rule of this oligarchy of liquor
dealers. st. Paul Pioneer Press.

LATER dispatches from the seat Of
war in Winnepeg indicate that the
charge of General Middleton's forces
on the ten Indians in the ravine was not
entirely successful, as "the leaden
storm" was too much for them, but
they ran away as "coolly as though
they had been on dress parade" or
words to that effect, and are sure that
they killed one Indian. The next morn
ing, after sleeping on their arms a mile
from the battle field, the general found
that the Indians had left. He is now
waiting for reinforcements.

THE Grand Army of the Republic has
quietly and without ostentation exer-
cised care and charity for its members
and veteran soldiers that is highly COM
mendable. Perhaps in the public opin-
ion the purpose of this organization has
been to preserve the memories of the
late war This is one of the social feat
ures, but the practical work has been
to care for the infrm, bury the dead and
provide for the widows and orphans, and
in this they have done and are now do
ing commendable work. The posts in
New York City are now adding another
department which may be followed with
great benefit in other sections eff the
country. They have recently organ
lied an employment bureau, through
which they obtain employment for all
worthy veterans. Thus far they have
succeeded very well both in obtaining
employment and in giving satisfaction
to those who patronize them.-Phila-
delphia Press.

The Mexican government will not
give any concessions to the Mormons
who contemplate removing from the
jurisdiction of the United States to es-
cape the laws against polIgamy. 1t
says that the Mormons may come there
like other people and settle, but that
they will be subject to the laws of the
country, which forbid polygamy. The
doors of the civilized world are closed
to the saints. Africa is about their only
chance. They might find place there
where they could defy the progress of
civilization for half century longer at
least.
