a compromise was effected by bring I
ing out new men.
Tt is we'll known that Congressman |
Turner has accepted the resignation
of both the officials Of the Kirwin
Land office, and that in the next few
weeks Republicans will be on duty in
this Office. It is a fact that Webb
AIcNall, Of Smith county, Will be one
of the lucky ones, but as to the other,
it is said that three names are under
consideration, and these are LATE
Smith, of Rocks county, Judge S. B.
FarwelI, Of Osborne county, and Mai
w. II. Caldwell, OF AlitciIen coun,y
There are several others competent
who are seeking the position, one of
whom, Capt. Geo. w. CLARK, Of Beloit,
lost an arm in battle
Mai. E. w. Warner, of Phillips
county, will be provided for in the
near future. He asks for special
agent of the land department, a posi-
ton he is eminently qualified to fill.
The Republicans Of Norton county
are getting themselves in a muddle,
which, if not at once checked, will be
drawn into the county fight this fall,
and no one can predict where it will
end. On Saturday last the cOnven-
ton to elect delegates to the Seven
teepth JudiciaI District convention at
Atwood, was held in Norton. The
convention was almost two to one in
favor of Judge Louis K. Pratt. Yet
before the convention was fairly or
ganized, the anti-Pratt delegates
withdrew and selected a boiling or
contesting delegation. There wasn't
a particle of excuse for this bolt, and
| it is severely denounced by the best
men Of the party in Norton.
At Norton I met my old friend, j.
w. VIning, making rapid progress in
his canvass for sheriff He is conf
dent of receiving the nomination.
He served for two terms IN the same
capacity in the early history of Nor
ton county.

terprising business men.
Fifteen officers and deputies, ofic-
ials Of Phillips county, recently met
and were weighed Ia Phlllipsburg,
