A young alliance man says the report
that there were II candidates Is only a
500 per cent. lie. There were IA can
didates, and he don't think 500 per

There is general complaint in the
southwest part of the county in regard
to the slow and irregular delivery of
the mail. The complaint is getting
louder all the time. We were promised
great things under republican admin
istration-and we are getting them.
The Cresset thinks it has reporter
in the citizens alliance. We will state
for the benefit of that paper that Mr..
Matthews did not decline because 4'he
would be delegate from the country"
but because he was from the country.
Mr.. Lands was duly nominated and
accepted, just as the other men were.
Mrs.. w. Underwood placed the
INDEX force under obligations, last
Saturday, by bringing us fine water
melon, the first we have had this sea-
son. She reports her husband as i'm
proving slowly, and suffering consid-
erably. A mule kicked him about ten
days ago, breaking one of his ribs.
The Beatrice Driving association has
favored this nffiao
tary ticket to its summer meeting, to be
held in Linden Tree Park, IN that city,
August 26, q IS. The track is one of
the best in the west, the purses liberal.
the buildings are all new, and as this
is the first meeting of the association,
no pains will be spared to make it a
success.
Last Monday the INDEX scribe found
a patch of hemp growing on vacant
square IN this city. 1t was about seven
feet high, and as thrifty as any we ever
saw In Missouri, the land of hemp.
While there is no market here for that
staple, we think that if our soil is
adapted to hempralsing, a Irvine facto-
ry would easily be induced to come
here. Who will experiment with a
quarter of an acre next year?
Harve Boyd and Murray Allen, two
boys about seven years old, were on Mr.
Boyd's pony, Monday morning, and
were galloping up the street when they
attempted to turu into an alley. The
pony turned so quickly that the boys
pitched forward and struck the ground
quite hard. Harve took the fall as
matter of course, but Murray ran
around in the streets, throwing up his
arms and jumping about as if to find
out whether or not anything was bro
ken. The pony stopped. and the boys
were found to be unhurt. They were
soon re-mounted, and rode off, but they
were not III as great hurry as they
had been.
The Cresset keeps on blowing about
DeGeer being pulled down. 1t has
tried to pull him down, and could not
do it, and now cries for alliance help
1t has the cheek to say that if the alli-
ance will undertake to GUST DeGeer, it
will help, and will furnish a lot of evil
dence. We thought the editor of that
paper knew enough about law to know
that it is customary for the prosecution
to look over its evidence before a suit is
begun. If the Cresset has any evidence
it's invited to file it with the INDEX or
with the district clerk or probate Judge
| and it will reeeiye due consideration
from the alliance. Don't expect any
suit tobe begun on your unsupported
sayso.
