Red Willow County Fair.

AT Indianola, Nebraska, October I'd,
sd, 4th and 5th, 1894. There will be
large exhibit of windmills and pumps
for irrigation, at this fair; among which
will be The Dempster Mill Manufactur-
ing Co., of Beatrice, with large pump
and mill that they claim will throw suf-
ficient water to irrigate sixty acres; The
Aermoter Co. with pump and mill that
will raise enough water to irrigate 80
acres; The National Pump Co. of Kansas
City, with their No. 4 wonder" pump
which is to throw water enough to irri-
gate from 40 to 60 acres; The Menge
pump, of New Orleans, is here already,
and the company claim that it will throw
100, 900 gallons per hour. Others will be
here but we have not received a full de-
scription of their exhibit.
All the departments of the fair will be
filled. Plenty of good races; also base
ball games. The best foot races ever
seen in southwestern Nebraska. One
and one-third rates on railroads.
Thursday will be children's day and
on that day all children under II years
of age will be admitted free.
Friday will be old soldiers day, and
they will be admitted free.

Killing frosts will occur in many north
ern sections from September 27th to
goth. This frost may penetrate south
ward as far as Oklahoma, Little Rock.
Memphis, Nashville and Raleigh. Along
and north of the 10th parallel all tender
plants should be protected at that time.
In the Ohio valley, tobacco planters
should be ready to cut their crops as
this frost will probably injure it. While
some cold weather may be expected in
October and November, winter will come
late and the fall season average warmer
than usual. This, of course, does not
apply to every section but is the esti-
mate of the general average for the
whole United States.-W. T. Foster.

The Independents Of Frontier and
Gosper counties have nominated our
friend D. L. Mcbride for preventative.
and we are constrained to say that they
have made no mistake. Mr.. Mcbride is
conservative gentleman, of good native
ability, and withal gentleman who
scorns the methods of a denagogue He
is "i1iddle Of the road" kind of man,
who will always be found battling for
what he believes to be right, and we
hope he will be elected d-Hayes Center

Ponds In Nebraska.

Every furrow turned, every tree plant
ed, every blade Of grass made to grow
where none grew before, says the Repub-
lican City Independent, are factors in
this great problem, more moisture. Just
SO with your ponds, they are factors that
go to make up the whole. Try an ex-
pertinent; put pan of water in your
garden and keep it full and see how
much better the vegetation is in the
immediate vicinity. These are scientific
facts. When the air is moist there are
no hot winds. The past year has been
the driest in the memory of the white
man in Nebraska, and only one day of
hot winds. Why? The grass was not
burned last spring, and therefore the air
contained some moisture all the time,
therefore no hot winds.
When the writer was a little boy in
old Indiana there were plenty of lakes
and ponds everywhere, and oh! how it
rained. In visiting the old hcme in 1892
and 1898 found all or nearly all these
ponds had been drained and the forests
around them cut down, and what is the
consequence, the worst drouth ever
known there. And again, in Iowa, where
there were plenty of ponds and sloughs
twenty years ago, as the writer well
knows, all have been drained What is
the reSI11t2 DroIrtt and hot winds equal
to Nebraska. The same is true of Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin; they have cut
down their forests and drained their
ponds until the country is suffering for
rain, and this is the case everywhere an
extensive system of drainage has been
followed. Then L say, everyone who
owns $50 acres of land, make a pond.
Moisture draws moisture. Put in small
dam this fall, throw in some willows and
cottonwood brush. It will sprout and
grow and make living network of roots
that won't wash out. Next fall build 1t
little higher and so on until you have
a nice pond on your farm for your stock
You can stock them with fish at small
expense and thus have another good
food at your door. You can also put up
ice for summer use to keep your milk and
butter cold, and enjoy all the 1uxuries
of an editor, and maybe, after you have
eaten plenty of fish, you will be able to
write an article like this for the paper.

1t is to be sincerely regretted that so
valuable church property as the Luth-
eran church should be allowed to fall
into dilapidation. The 1eaky roof has
caused large sections of plaster to fall
The destructive small boy has destroyed
a number of beautiful stained glass win
dows. The severe winds have racked
the structure somewhat, and altogether
the edifce is in rather sorry plight. 1t
is one of the costliest church buildings
in the Republican valley, and should be
rescued from further damage before it is
eternally too late.

Former practices of the pension bureau
are reversed by ruling of Assistant
Secretary Reynolds, announced at the
Interior Department several days ago.
Judge Reynolds holds that the terms of
Section 4,7o3, Revised Statutes. apply to

paid to the widow where the step-child-
rem are being educated in whole or in
part at the expense of state, or of the
public in any educational institution,
or in any institution organized for the
care of soldiers orphans. A large num-
Der of claims will be affected by the
new practice.

The late cool mornings, evenings and
nights, and the consequent decrease in
evaporation, are causing the water to
appear in the Republican river again in
spots. And the flow for irrigation pur-
poses is also stronger. During the ex-
treme heat evaporation is very large
element in the loss of water.
