y. w. Harshberger, from the south
ern portion of the county, reports small
grain as sure to make crop. He put in
several hundred acres of wheat last fall
and thinks this seasons crop will pay for
the land, all expense of putting in. bar

balance, for profit.

"A. n. Andrews, who was put in Jail
for breaking into and taking goods from
some of the stores of the city, has proved
to be insane. 1t seems that he has not
been regarded by his family and intimate
as of sound mind. He has
been tested in such a manner as to leave
no doubt as to his insanity being real and
he has been taken to Hodgeman county
to be tried as to his mental condition.
The three tramps who broke into the
drug store of L. G. Grobety last Sunday
night have been captured and inside of
ten days from the time of the robbery
will be in the pen, safe from any care
and worry as to where the next meal is
to come from, and from tramping over
the country growing at the policy Of the
government which enacted the prohibi-
tory law against stealing. MIR. Grobety
sent out some cards with description of
the articles stolen and the sheriff of Har-
vey county telegraphed to H. B. Bell
that he had the three men probably
wanted here. Mr.. Bell went to Newton
after them on Tuesday night returning
Wednesday with the prisoners, who
were brought before Justice Kirkpatrick,
they waved examination. and on Friday
went before Judge Abbott and plead
guilty, receiving sentence of one year
in the penitentiary for the youngest and
eighteen months for the others. They
gave the names of Daniel O'Neil, James

the laws.
The GLOBE office received this week
from Washington. D. c.. specifications
and proposals for sealed bids to furnish
printed matter, blanks and blank books
for the Money Order Business of the
Postoffice Department. We find that the
length of time required to do the press
work would take so much time as to in
terfere with the work on the paper. as it
requires something over one thousand
million impressions, and the paper re-
quired will be but little over O,OOO tons,
requiring a thousand cars to transport
the same. In order to illustrate the enor-
nous quantity of printed matter re-
quired in the Money Order Department,
estimated for the next four years, we will
say that the GLOBE has two as fast job
presses as are usually found in the country
and it would require in the neighborhood
of 1874 years to do the work if they were
kept running ten hours per day. So
under the circumstances, we must re-
specially decline to bid for the work.
The specifications were prepared by Jas.
I. Metcalf. Chief Clerk of the Money
Order Department, 4 cousin to Jno. T.
Metcalf of this office.
