OUR PHoNoeRAPH.

o. FERGusoN.-My mules strayed
way down to White river, westof Chad
ron where a Teller had corralled them.
I hunted for 'em three weeks. They
jumped the fence, you know, when
they got away from me and were going
straight back where they came from.
w. P. PHlLL1ps-Yes, they have nom-
mated me for the council to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Tom Wells from the Fourth ward.
Guess it's about as good a time to serve
as any; we all have to do our share to-
ward helping the city government and
1 can get out on a pretty short time by
accepting now 1 will only hold till
next spring election you know.
FRANK FAwcETTE, of Cascade-Think
Cascade will be prepared to pretty
nearly supply Hot Springs with vege-
tables soon. Two or three of us who
are gardening a little will have 10000
head of cabbage, and 300 bushels of
tomatoes, which will begin ripening in
about ten days. Our tomatoes will
average about 100 to each vine. Never
saw finer vegetables, or more prolific.
Corn is splendid. Everything looks
good.
GEN. MANAGER BURT of the Elkhorn-
I have just returned from Whitewood
and Belle Fourche. There is a proba-
bility of our road building on to the
coal fields, but nothing definite has
been decided in the matter as yet. I
am delighted to see Hot Springs hav-
ing such a prosperous year and predict
for it unqualified success. In three or
four years it will be the most promi-
nent resort in the entire country.
L. ID. BROOKE, County Superintend-
ent-Our institute in conjunction with
the summer school is getting along
nicely. Do you know that our county
is getting pretty good benefit by hold
ing the institute with the summer
school? By this method we are hold
ing the institute for a month instead of
two weeks. and have four instructors
instead of two. When we first decided
to combine the institute and summer
school l didn't know the plan would
take, but it is all right. l thought it
was rather an original idea. but 1 find
that two counties in Nebraska have be-
fore now held institutes in IL similar
manner-in connection with normal
schools. The expense is no greater,
while the opportunities are four-fold
greater for those who attend. The in
stitute is Il great success and is being
largely attended.
JUDGE R1DpATH-The private opin-
ion of President Cleveland publicly en-
pressed. calls to mind the factthat this
same Grover Cleveland was president
of the United States from the fourth
of March 1885 to the fourth of
March. 1889. and that with a good work.
ing majority of his own party in the
house of representatives he vetoed five
or six Oh even or eight times as many
bills as all the rest of the presidents
for ninety-siX years. In view of the
warnings handed down by Washington,
Jefferson and Monroe about centraliz-
ing power in the president of the
United States. 1 wonder if it is not
time for the senate to take it's bearings
and see where it is at. A part of the
democratic press is landing Cleveland
for his nerve in debating to congress.
Did not Louis Napoleon have nerve
when he imprisoned his opponents and
had his friends proclaim him Emperor?
