Lateral sewers at HoldreEe.

HOLDREGE. Neo., Aug. 97.-(special.)-
The city council has finally let the con-
tract for the construction of the ~laterals
in the first sewer district organized since
the completion of the trunk line. Lang &
Browitt of University Place were the sue
cessfui bidders, and were awarded the
contract for the sum Of SIS, 1856. There was
a difference of about $1,000 between their
bid which was lowest. and the one which
was the highest.
The district covers a distance of about
five miles and takes in the entire business
section of the city and the congested resi-
dence portion. including school houses and
all public buildings. The contractors say
they will begin work by September 10 and
expect to complete It by December 81. At
the price named 1t will cost the lot owner
in the neighborhood of s21 or 500 for each
50-foot lot. Warrants are to be issued
for the work, which will be taken up and
cashed by the First National bank. so that
no bonds will be necessary, and under the
ordinance creating the sewer district and
providing for the payment for the con-
%struction of the sewer, It is contemplated
that property owners will promptly pay
the tax and save interest.

Phelps Crop Conditions.

HOLDREGE. Neb.. Aug. 27.-(Specisl.)-
Crop conditions in the northern portion of
Phelps county could not be much better
than they are this season. Corn is looking
fine. and 1t is estimated that the yield will
be from sixty to seventy-five bushels to
the acre. Wheat that is threshed is going
from twenty-five to forty-five bushels to
the acre, and a few days ago one farmer
threshed out $500 bushels of oats from 100
acres of ground. Some of them are cutting
their third crop Of alfalfa and say that
It will do better than the first one. There
are places In the county where there will
be scarcely anything, and other places
where hailstorms destroyed the crops. Corn
has suffered worse than anything else. for
lack of moisture in July. However, none
OF the farmers who have suffered from
either hail or dry weather are anxious to
sell out.

LINCOLN. Aug. 27-Cspecial)-A news
paper here whose editor counts his income
by the number Of Bryan stories he can sell.
masqueradlng as a republican. came out
last night with a bitter attack on every
thing IN Omaha in an effort TO line Up
the state against that city. The paper
even accused King Ak-sar-Ben Of being
n political institution, which had entered
the Combination to throttle progressive re-
publicanisni. The story fails to tell just
who all these allied interests in Omaha are
lined up behind, but It is printed under
the enlightening headline, "Omsha In
League Against the state; Business Men,
Brewers and Railroads Combine On Slate
TO ston Agitation Against Abuse Of Cor
porations."
The only reason attention Is called to
the story here Is because the great ma
jority OF the people Of Lincoln take no
stock in such rot and are willing to do
all they can to boost their own city with
out circulating false stories about Omaha.
The great majority of the people Of Lin
coin know the paper, appreciate its UNI
reliability and regret that IL is thus.
II might be amusing to the people of
Omaha to know that this sheet said Gov
ernor George L. Sheldon would be wiped
off the. political map by the vote in tina
city.
Omaha citizens who come TO the state
fair will receive a royal welcome from the
good people of Lincoln, regardless of the
way they are being advertised by the pin
head sheet. and those who stay away will
miss a glorious good time.
