In Our New Home.

For the past fourteen years the
HERALD has been printed and pub
lished in the Bissell Block, but this
issue comes from it's new home in the
basement of the Phillips County
BanL. When the court house was
finished and the officers moved into
the new building the HERALD office
was moved from the Young building
into the Bissell Block. AT that tune
the town was young, and with moth
ing but prospects, Railroads were
far away, and inhabitants few. The
HERALD, owned and edited by several
gentlemen, has weekly gone forth,
doing what it could to upbuild the
country, and sustain and encourage
the inhabitants. It may have erred
in politics, and have been untrue to
party, but it way always loyal to
Phillips county. From struggling
village, it has lived to see Phillips
burg grow and enlarge. 1t has told
Of much good and little Of the bad.
1t has assisted parties and individuals
to places Of power. II has given in
charitable advertising thousands Of
dollars. Hundreds of homes have
been gladdened by its weekly visits;
some saddened. The duty Of Ia journ-
alist IS to tell the news. He must tell
Of mans successes and of his failures;
his ioye, his sorrows.
From the HERALD's new home it
will go on with the good work. This
issue is printed under difficulties that
make a readable paper impossible
In week or two we will he pleased
to see visitors, and will take pleasure
in showing them one of the best print
ing Offices IN Northwest Kansas.

The story from Little Rock that
Judge Henry q. Caldwell, of the
Eighth Judicial circuit Of the Uni
ted States will be supported by the
populiSts of the south and the west
for the presidential nomination is
looked upon by Judge Caldwell him
self as worthy of very little attention.
1t is SAID that the Judge met num-
Der OF the members Of the populist
party during the meeting Of the COM
mittee a few days ago, but Judge
Caldwell says that there was no such
meeting, and that he knew of no ba-
sis for the report aside from the fact
that a number Of his Arkansas friends
called on him. AS to being candi-

Judge Caldwell is proceeding on a

discuss the subject altogether. Judge
Caldwell is a pronounced supporter

subsoiling In Western, Kansas

SupSOlllng In western Kansas
The Cheyenne County Rustler ad-
vises all farmers whoscan to sub-soil
portion Of their land by all means.
The benefits resulting from sub-soil-
ing are known to exist and it can no
longer be clsssed as an experiment.
Even as far back as the Missouri
river, sub-soiling adds ten to twenty
per cent to the crops there, and In
Cheyenne county it frequently doubles
both the quantity and quality. To
show that this method of farming has
passed beyond the experimental stage,
it is only necessary to give the results
that have been produced IN Cheyenne
county this year. W. II. Wellemeyer
has few acres of black -four corn on
ground that he sub-soiled, which he
says is actually yielding oyer one
hundred bushels to the acre. Aaron
Smith also sub soiled portion of his
corn field. The eight or ten acres
which he sub-soiled is yielding forty
bushels of good corn to the acre while
the remainder of the field, which was
not sub soiled, is turning out about
twenty bushels to the acre OF a good
deal poorer quality.

Gently wrote a private letter to a

which has just been made public he
thus censures the state administrs-
ton: "The present administration
has not covered itself with glory.
Probably it has disgraced the party
as much as any administration could.
A wholesome lesson about thus time
would probably do it good by defeat
