Oberlin, Oct.8.-While Decatur county
raised the largest crops in 1898 in the
history of the county, the houses of
Oberlin are more completely filed now
than since the boom days and the loca-
ton of the government land office here.
1t is next to impossible to find a vacant
house fit to live in.
The wheat acreage for next year will
be much larger than this year, which
was the largest in the history of the
county.
A conservative estimate of the cattle
to be fed this winter in Decatur county
is placed at 5000 head, besides not less
than 10 900 stock cattle.
Among the new improvements is the
completion of the Jackson elevator, with
a daily capacity for handling 10000
bushels of grain. J. J. Jackson, the
proprietor, handled So carloads in and
out in 1897, while this year he will load
not less than $50 cars.

If it has come ito a point where this
country cannot hold an honest election
where the records of such election are
accepted in a mutilated condition by
the officials of the county and by the
people, we have come to a most dan
gerous point; one that will not be
long in destroying the peace of the
community and when that occurs the
prospects of our future development
are entirely destroyed. Capital, with
good reason, will not invest in a com
munity of that sort. AS pioneer and
as loose as we have been in this city.
and valley, in the matter of elections.
this is but the second case in the his
tory of the county and the first in the
history of this city where there was
cause for so grave suspicion as in the
case of the poll held in the Third ward
It is we'll for this community TO fef 1T
be known right now, that that sort OF
thing will not be tolerated, no matter
from what source it comes. .=z- =
