Tho Des Moioes River Lands.

WATERLOO, IA, November 20.-United
States Marshal Esmond, of Clinton, was in
Fort Dodge last week procuring writs of
ejectment against farmers and other settlers
on the Des Moiues river lands. This fact
has caused great excitement among the set
tiers and dire threats are made should eject
ments be attempted. Many settlers have
spent all their means in contesting title
to their lands, and should ti.ey be set out
with their families at the beginning of win-
ter. they would have to depend upon charity
for subsistence. Marshal Esmond has en-
sisted a large number of deputies, and the

A HERALD representative visited
Agra last Saturday and spent a few
hours very pleasantly among the bus
mess men and farmers who come there
to trade.
Agra is becoming quite a lively
trading point Her grain and stock
dealer, Mr.. Barney, pays the highest
market price for hogs and has the
confidence Of all the farmers In that
section Of country. He has lumber
on the ground and will commence at
once the erection of cribs for the large
amount OF. corn that comes to this
place. Mr.. Barney is also erecting a
residence.

the building Will be completed as
soon as possible.
A number Of new residences will
soon be built, some of which are now
under contract.

We notice from our exchanges that
w. II. Caldwell, Of the Beloit Courier
is a candidate for the pension agency
to succeed G.. W. Click We have
but a slight personal acquaintance
with Mr. Caldwell, bat those who do
know him well are the most ardent
in his support. He was a good Union
soldier serving as a private for four
years. ''He Is a prominent G. A. r.
man, having been a member Of that
organization since 1866. He is divis-
ion commander first division, first
corps, department Of Kansas, G. A. R.
He is chairman Of the executive com
mittee, Kansas Service Pension Asso-
citation. He led the fight at the de-
partment encampment at Winfield
for service pension resolutions and
won the victory. He appeared be-
fore the committee on resolutions at
the last republican state convention
and secured a service pension resOlu-
ton in the state platform. He has
published a republican paper since
1856, and has always advocated the
cause Of the soldier, as well as Loyalty
presented republican principles, and
in all that time he has never asked
for a government office He was
chosen to make a speech to Gen. Har-
risOn, presenting the soldier boys of
northwest Kansas to the general"
From what information we have
gained of Mr.. Caldwell we believe he
is just the man for the place.

The Alleged Deficiency in the
County Treasurer's Office.


In the report Of the Commissioners
Proceedings IN another place IN this
HERALD, 1t may be seen that County
Treasurer, Jacob Nipps, voluntarily
vacated the treasurer's Office temDOr-
arlly, and Theodore Bracken was an
pointed to act as treasurer for the
time being. The cause Of this action
is, that IN his final settlement for the
past year with the county. commits
sioners, there appears to be a defc-
Iency OF cash on hand to the amount
OF $4,000. The commissioners to re-
assure themselves that the examina-
ton made by County Clerk Hartman
and themselves, was correct, EMPLOYED
Theodore Bracken and Frank Strain
to go through the books and give
them a careful examination. This
they did, not only once, but twice, and
reported the deficiency mentioned.
Mr.. Nlpps thinks there has been some
error made IN these examinations and
that there IS no deficiency at all He
therefore employed Ex-COunty Urea
surer w. III. Nelson, Of Smith county,
to carefully examine the books and
discover the errors If any there be.
In the mean time the commissioners
caused printed notices to be mailed
to each gentleman on Mr.. Nipps
official bond, calling a meeting of
said bOndsmen to be held at Phillips
burg on Friday, Nov. 80 The HER
AID goes to press before the conven-
ing Of said meeting and cannot an
tlclpate its action. The commission
ers are to be commended for their
prompt and proper action. It is but
just to say Of Treasurer Nipps that
he declares if it proves that there is a
deficiency, his bOndsmen will not have
a dollar to pay. He is worth enough
to cover the alleged shortage and no
one shall lose a farthing.
The work of a county treasurer is
very complicated and arduOus and
errors are liable to be made We
earnestly hope that Mr.. Nelson may
find the accounts all right and that
no real deficiency exists.

On the first page of this HERALD

from the New York Sun in regard to
the large sums of money won on the

The gambling spirit manifested by

1t IS a clear violation of law and in
dicates unmistakabIe corruption in
high places. Just think of it, Mathew
Quay, Chairman of the National Re
publican Committee and a Senator

our y. L. friends mean by such as
serhOns? If money has been used it
must have been given to y. L. voters,

turned to the old party. If this is

training for one would think that
they were the quint essence Of hon
esty, Remember we say eff money
was used" but we don't think money
was used, and it is an insult for one
man to insinuate that another sold his
vote. Come now Brice, you are too
smart, and, Of course, too honest to
be bought or to buy votes, and do you
think that you are 50 much better
than the average citizen, that you
make such broad assertions? How
do you know that the money power
manipulated this campaign?" In a
word, how many citizens dOyOu think
have lost their manhood to such an
extent that they would vote as some
one else said? We have too much
confidence in American citizenship to
think any such think. The Republi-
can party is pledged, and we believe
it VIII redeem them. If It does not.
we say, as we did once before, it de
serves to die. Watch this admins
