fore Noah's flood, and both have plenty

Colby land Office. has quit politics and
gone to farming on his landed posses
sions in Rawlins county. During his
four years in that office he hasn't for
gotten how to hold a plow or use hoe
It may result in battle with knives,
pitchfOrks and guns between Dodge, of
the BelOit Gazette, and Vaughan, of
the MankatO Monitor, before they get
through exploiting the course of each
other at the late Norton congressional
convention.
W "A. Hill, publisher and editor of the
Hill City Recorder. refuses to support
Dave Hanna in the event of his nominal

al years. and will cut but little figure
whether Hanna is nominated or not
M F. Knappenburger, of Jewell coun-
ty is seriously i'll at his home in Jewell

islature and was also a regent of the
state normal under Governor Morrill,.
Major John ". Conway, of the Norton
| Champion is a delegate to the Demo-
cratic congressional convention at Be
| lott, June 8. Major Conway was an or
! iginal free silverite when it was good
| to be called ''sich,' but it would appear
/ that he has cast anchor with the De-
mocracy.
Congressman Reeder is again at his
! home in Logan Phillips county, and
/ there is great uneasiness in the heads Of
several of his Sixth district pOstmasters.
J Since the Norton convention change
/ has been made in Oberlin county seat
of Decatur county, and the home of Otis

A committee of representative polite
/ ians from Beloit will take a car load OF

! VentiOns which meet in BelOit. June 3,
will carry Norton county by 200 major
ity.
J. A Lowe, of Jewell county failed TO
land the Demo-Pop nomination for aud
itor of state and has announced his
candidacy for probate judge of his
1 county subject to the approval of both
the Democratic and Populist conven-
tons. Mr.. Lowe has made a success in
every business he has engaged, and Is
at present running the Commercial no
! ted in MankatO.
Some of the Sixth district fellows
think there will be a pretty general
sweeping out of postmasters, no matter
! if they were for or against Reeder. In
the cases of both CaWker City and OBJ
erlin the postmasters had to go. and
Alrich and Leib had given Reeder their
earnest, hearty support, and were serv-
ing their first terms. Keep out of poll
tics, gentlemen, if you can make an
/ honorable living at anything else.

| county are determined to have q full
| f1edged party organ, and efforts have
been made to get hold of the Sentinel
