The petition recently filed in the
district court to set aside the school
land sale of March 9Th, 1886, is OF no
little moment. It involves 8, 32O acres
of land, which were sold at an average
value of $3.48 per acre. Other school
land of like quality was selling. at the
time of said sale for S. per acre, at
least. In that event the state school
fund loses $12,646.40. There are
eleven defendants, SO the case will be
hotly contested. Defendants were not
innocent purchasers, as they knew all
the facts. The officials of Sheridan
county knew it was illegal, but they
had started to sell all of the school
land in Thomas and Sherman coun-
ties, SO they went on in their internal
career.

Presumption Repeal.


The conferrees on the part of the
house, Payson and Cobb, and Plumb
on the part of the senate, have utterly
failed to come to any agreementin re-
spect to the repeal of the presumption,
timber culture, and desert land acts.
The bone of contention seems to be
that Payson and Cobb want to uphold
Sparks, while the senate insists on the
forbidding the suspension of these en-
tries indefinitely. Senator Plumb
champions the settlers of the West.
and is doing noble work. The house
must yield to the senate if the repeal
ever passes. The chances are that
no action will now be taken repealins
the law.

prayers Of the righteous availeth
much" and 'faith the size of mus
tard seed can move a mountain" all
of which, like an old time war dis
patch, is important, if true. If true,
there must either be great lack of
faith in this country, or very few
prayers for rain, because it hasn't
rained for two weeks upon this most
righteous and believing community,
and things are getting dryer than Sam
Hill, who was said to be the dryest
man in Texas. The fact is we need
rain to freshen up the tired and thirsty
earth, and soak up the grand possibil-
tiles of the great Northwest. Crops
are not yet dying, but they are crying
dry and fearless cry for wet. The
potatoes have closed their eyes in sor-
row, and refuse to proceed without
wet; the corn has rolled up its leaves
and put its hands over its ears, refus-
ing to listen to the call of progress
until it gets wet; the millet has its
head tucked under its wing, and will
go no further without being wet; and
the watermelons, those sweet water.
melons, which were wont to be SO
juicy and so numerous, have joined
the great army of kickers and are 60
ing into their holes and pulling theil
vines in after them. Such state OF
affairs as this calls for medicine, and
something powerful enough to pull
the plug out of the rain water barre
and drop out a shower or two upor
this aboutdry-enough community
Fourth of July came and went anG
brought no rain. Prayers have failet
to produce drop; all ordinary indi
cations have been but so many Apri
fools, and We propose to try new
lay. We propose to advertise for it
and if it don't rain within 48 hour,
after this local appears, we are willing
to acknowledge that advertising ism
any better than the rest of the RENE
, dies. People pray in this countr,
lust as though they didn't expect t.
get much, any way, and they onl,
went through the ceremony becaus'
somebody told them to, and we can
expect such halfway business to draw
water; but when you run onto fit
teen-ceuts-a-line pay local the size O
this you may make up your min,
there is no funny business about it
and something has got to come.

The outlook for corn in Kansas is
very fiattering. Reports from the
southern part of the state are encour.
aging In this part of the state wheat
is just as good as the corn, and both
are excellent. There will be no hot
winds this year, owing to the large
amount of snow in the mountains. I,
may be little dry for a short while
but not to do any harm. The states
actually suffering are Texas, Iowa
