TENIPERATURE.

PRECIPITATION:
The Ftrst YFeek OF Normal.

The tenth annual session Of the
Sherman county normal institute has
convened. The pedagogues on know
ledge bent have gathered together to
receive instruction from Profs. W. G..
Riste, W. S. Coleman, and R. G. Smith
as instructors.
About 81 have enrolled thus far,
which is an extremely large enrolment
compared with the preceding years.
All are rowing not drifting" Some
come to learn the art Of teaching the
young idea how to shoot, some to learn
how to shoot; in other words to receive
either pedagogie or academical instruc-
ton according to each ones individual
conception Of his OF her various needs.
Prof. Riste conducts the musical
part Of the days work in the afternoon,
by means Of which quite & good deal is
being learned about the science and
art Of music, by all who attend.
The nOrmalites attended DR.. Iaylor's
lectures on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings, the gentleman having come
here to lecture during normal by re-
quest Of the superintendent.

Nc Temperance Lecturss.

Rev. E. o. Taylor lectured Tuesday
and Wednesday nights at the Congre-
gational church. A large audience
gathered to hear him and we're we'll re-
warded for their attendance. Rev.
Taylor is an entertaining speaker, de-
pending more upon logic than denun-
citation to carry his point against in
temperance.
The subject of Tuesdays lecture was
"That Boy of Yours" He also paid
considerable attention and many COM
pliments of the new woman and pre-
diets that the weaker sex will more
fully dominate the ruling of the world
than she now does.
The second lecture was "a Glass of
Beer Analysed" and was very instruc-
tive and interesting. Evidently, the
beer-drinker doesn't know what things
and things he has been consuming
under the impression that it was good.
Rev. Taylor is not a rabid prohibi
ZIONIST and believes that even without
enforcement, the prohibitory law is
better than the license law.

CONDITIONS tHFAV)RBaE.
Electrical Winds and Insects Work Harm to
Growing Crops.
LsclE of Rain When Most Needed DarkeRs
the Prospect Which Was Week
ago Bright.

What changes can be worked in the
short space of a week. The people Of
Sherman county have some idea of the
freakishness Of nature, and it doesn't
tend to improve their good opinion,
either.
A week ago the varriest pessimist
could not have found fault with the
growth and condition of Sherman
county's small grain, and to day the
optimist would have to stretch his
irredescent imagination to some extent
to hold out hope for a harvest Since
the rains Of the first of the month cleo
trical winds, aided by the Hessian flies,
have all but ruined some fields Of grain
and the balance is now needing rain
badly.
The winds, blowing steadily day after
day, have sapped up the surface mois-
ture rerapidly than it could be drawn
from below and the result has been
that the fields put in by the usual disc
method, which prevents the grain from
roofing very deep, have been seriously
damaged. Fields that were plowed
under or put in extra deep are still
holding out. Corn is still green and
growing we'll, but rain must soon fall
TO save it.
The section about Goodland is more
damaged than other portions Of the
county owing to less rain having fallen
in the afflicted portion.
Farmers and business men are con-
siderably discouraged over the outlook
as they have depended upon the coun-
try to this year redeem itself and re-
eompense them for former losses.
Should soaking rain fall within the
next few days, however, at least so per
cent Of the small grain would make a
crop, if not, the corn will have to be
depended upon for a Ife-preseryer.
The question has been raised in the
past few days as to what use the great
expanse of semi-arid lands can best be
put to. In the light of past experience
it would seem that it is best adapted to
cattle raising. With a free range agree
msnt there is no question but what the
settlers of these lands, aided by irriga-
tion, could not only gain livelihood
but make more from raising cattle than
they could from producing wheat, even
though a moderate crop each year was
guaranteed. Stock can be wintered
through in this country, being allowed
to roam at will and having water tanks
erected at convenient points, without a
particle of feed. This seems at present
to be the natural end of the country.

AsEos STILL SAFE.
Another Attempt to Get Amos HOstetter
Erastrafed.

Another Attempt 70 Get Amos HOstetter
Frustrated.
Sheriff Dustin left last Wednesday
for Springfield, Ills, with a warrant
and requisition for Amos Hostetter,
the ex-president of the defunct Elk
change bank, charging him with the
crime of forgery. The governors Office
refused to honor the requisition from
the Kansas governor and the sheriff
was again forced to return empty
handed.
The refusal to issue a warrant was
based upon the argument that Hostel
fer has been too long gone from the
scene of his literary efforts, and the
action brought now carried the ap-
pearance Of a scheme to bleed the
accused.
Mr.. Dustin believes that he could
have secured the warrant had Gov.
Altgeld not been absent. The secre-
tary was enjoying the power Of execu-
tive and no doubt wanted to impress
the short-grass official by his autocrat-
ic perogative.

To Get a Judgment.

W. F. Federman has sued the city
for the collection of $500 worth of war
rants. This will result in a judgment
against the city and eventually in a
Judgment tax to meet it. The warrants
are some of the early series and would
have soon been outlawed had this &C.
ton not been taken.
Western cities cut too big a figure in
the dance at the outset and now find
that the piper has to be paid. Had
things gone on as they promised in the
early days of the town the debts con-
tracted could have been easily met, but
they didn't, and now some scratching
will have to be done to square accounts.
The debt is just and will be paid.

TO cISCH THE STOCKHOLDERS.

The County, City and CevsrsI Individual S
Sue the Bank.
Suit has been instituted by the eoun-
ty, city and several individual deposit
ors against the Sherman County bank,
and the cases will be heard in the July
term of court.
The object of these suits is to get at
the stockholders, who cannot be
reached until the resources of the
bank are shown to have been exhaust
ed. As the suits have been brought
after the institution is in the hands of
a receiver, it will be interesting to hear
the decision of the court in the matter.
1t has always been mOCted question
whether such suits will hold inasmuch
as it gives one depositor an advantage
over another.

AIR RRAKEs ON FREIGHr OARs.

The Change Required by Law viii Cost the
Railroads Millions OF Doll 'Ts.
The necessity of getting freight cars
equipped with air brakes so as to meet
the requirements of the interstate
commerce law has urged the different
railway companies to make strenuous
exertions along that direction. All
this work must, according to the law,
be completed by January 1, 1893, and
it is understood that an effort will be
made by several roads to secure an ex-
tension of time, as the great cost is
more than they can well begin to meet
at present when their earnings are so
low. The lowest estimates place the
number of freight cars unequipped
with air in the country at present at
about 650,OO0 In 1858 out Of 1,308, 734
cars in the country, only 299O27 were
equipped with air. Since that time
rapid progress has been made in equip
ping freight cars with air, and as a
large number of old rolling stock will
be replaced with new equipment
already furnished with train brakes
before the law takes effect, it may be
safely said that not more than $4,000
old cars will have to be fitted with air.
Estimating the cost of the work at
about 800 to the car, the sum of S58,5OO-
600, will be needed to meet the ex-
penditures that must be incurred by
the improvement ordered by law.

we're heartily welcome.

notice was Mr.. Smiths address on

the horrors and misery caused by am

the type of one and Washington as the
type of the other.

and the interest taken in these meet

the cause of Observation-Disclosures
