and fruit. There were not as many fancy arti-
cles as were shown last year, but there were
many pretty quilts and rugs, besides pillows,
&c. The baby show attracted quite a crowd.
They were all such fine looking children that
the committee decided that they all deserved
blue ribbon. They were instructed to give
mug to the prettiest boy .and the prettiest
girl. 1t was difficult matter to decide, but the
committee gave the mugs to Edwin Pearl Ber-

to him, but it was the best legislation
that could be had at that time. No one
can say that Governor Cobb did not live
up to his prediction promises and his
oath of Office.
Of course the sheriffs should enforce
the laws. That goes without the saying.
But do they? Yes, as to Waldo county,
but no as to some other counties. Of
course if the sheriffs did their duty, there
would be no need for the Sturgis law.
But evidently there is great need for
such measure as the Hastings bill, SO
that when sheriff and his deputies have
done their full duty their work cannot
be set at naught by too lenient court.

fly in making the most Of his opportunity.
The settlement OF Nance county is one
Of the most peculiar OF any county in
Nebraska. Not a single homestead, pre-
emption or government claim Of any kind
was ever secured by a settler here.
Nance county has an area Of about $50
square miles or 27s,S 37 acres. About 80 per
cent is upland. which for grain raising
purposes is preferred by many to the val
ley lands. The remaining 20 per cent is
found along the various streams with
which the county is we'll supplied. The
most important is the Loup river which
enters near the southwest corner and flows
in a northeasterly direction, passing the
eastern boundary near the middle, and fur
nishing forty miles of valley varying from
one to three miles in width. From the
northwest, Cedar river wends its way un-
til 1t Joins with the Loup near the center
Of the county. Farther east, Beaver creek
flows in a similar direction, meeting the
Loup near the boundary.
The finst settlement made in Nance
county was in 1857 by a colony OF Mormons.
They came from near st. Louis, under the
leadership of II. J. Hudson, and after at
tempting to settle in Platte, moved to
what was then Monroe county, beginning
operations near the present townsite of
Genoa. There were 100 families altogether.
A postoffice was established and called
Genoa office, with H. ]. Hudson, post
master. The colony was very prosperous
in 1860. During the three succeeding years,
the Mormons attempted TO remain and
hold their possessions and live in prox-
unity to the Indians, but the numerous
struggles between the Sioux and Pawnees
kept them In constant fear. and in 1868
they left the country.
In 1857. during Buchanan's administra-
ton, a treaty was made between the Paw
nee Indlans and the government, in which
IL was stipulated that they should choose
a location west of the Missouri. Here,
the Indians were to colonize and learn the
arts OF civilization, become converted to
Christianity and develop under the super
intendency OF the government into intelli-
gent and law-abiding citizens. After roam
ing over the great western prairtes the
Indians located on the land which is now
known as Nance county. In 1876, by treaty
stipulation. these Indians were removed to
Indian Territory. BY an act passed April
the 10th. 1876. and agreed to by the Paw
