Xumber JO'. HP 1 1 1? 1 JUL G RANT COUNTY A N'oblt Judge. Nebraska linn a jn1?f of rme of Imr district court wlio should re odre Iht prayers of the unfortunate. Al R recent session of I ho court at Broken lkw. Judge I lamer gave tlw Mortgage-holders a very binek oye by tufusing the foreclosure of ftfinftthtrif tnortgagr. His reason fur doing so he gave as follows: "Thi docket is covered, page for ifc with confirmation cases. The Inst summer's drouth has exhausted ilje farmers' resource and h is un able to jwv the interest on his loans. Tito act of (od, for which jieople ant not rcMnt-il!. has reduced one half of them to almoH l gj;arv, ami this calamity shall not l.c made worse by any act of mine. We are nsfcwl to turn Hs fanners over to money-lenders, and iVM women ami children to pauperism. It shall iwver lie done in tlii district while I ni judge. The jtcople are not able to pay and I will not assist in their being roblied. Let us wait until a crop can le miscd and con fidence restored, and all will come mil right. If a man is living on his land or living off of it, ami trying Io cultivate, lie should have the re ward of his laUir. I will never con firm a ftilc in times like these, if the owner is trying to make a living on thu land. When the jKople are compelled to ask aid to procure seed it would be cruel mockery to deprive, them of land to sow the seed ujion. I have a right to refuse lo conlirm a sale when the property mid does not bring two-thirds of it actual value, and in these capes it lias not brought that amount. The H.ilea are not confirmed," . So long as the I alanre of trade is ill favor of the United States there ia no fear of bankruptcy. If there was no such a thing as silver and gold, as a medium of exchange; if 1 1 10 people would discard the use of both the riches, the real wealth is hero still, tiuld is not wealth, nor Hilvcr, nor any other money. They inorely represent the accumulation of i-omelhing already produced, un less in the ease of the mine owner, lie is simply wealthy because the pontile recogni.e that metal ih a medium of exchange. After all it is thu ic:ple that reeoguie its pur chasing Mwer that makes gold mon ey, that makes any metal money. So if the people of the United States find thu medium of exchange such as to bo cramd what difference does it make if they dtcide it ex pedient to issue, or to recognize uiuro "exchange" money? What difference need it make what that "exchange" consists, if the govern ment tho piople recognuo and Mamp it with authority to be ex changed and of value its faeo calls fur? . The bill prohibiting aliens from owning lands in Kansas is now a law of the stale. It provides that all alien owners must sell their land within five years or itcoome citizens of tho I'nited Stales. In case they fail to do either, their lauds will lie told, and after payment of costs the proceeds will !o debited in the state treasury subject to the order of tho alien owners. The large amount of land this righteous law will put on the market Hill be aston ishing to those who have not given thu mailer much attention. One man alone, Lord S. ully.owns nliout I!

A young society man, who moves in Hie younger circles, told a story out of the usual run the other day, ays the luisville Commercial. He is a handsome fellow, till and enect, and a prime favorilo among the girls. He said that he attempt ed to kissa pretty girl, and jut as he got his arm around her slender waist and was about lo kiss her, she ortid if lie dared she would scream. Not w idling lo have a scene, which such su action would cause, he withdrew his arm and resumed his seal at the other end of the sofa. In an instant tho pretty girl said: "Oh, I thought you were braver than that." She. however, obsti nately refused Ui let him kiss her, but she likewise threatened to scream if be should attempt it. lie thought ho would profit by his for mer e.vperb nee and Nid no atten tion to the warning. lie kissed her; she screamed; her mother came in and demanded an explanation.

At Huron in South Pakota, an artesian well has been bored that is attracting much attention. Through a '.'J inch no.itc it throws a stream I III feet up in the air.

Buried treasure as a rule looms up big in the earth. Hut bo that as it may, the people of Kershaw, S.

The most encouraging feature of the cattle trade is the fact that fat lui'ves can now lie shipped direct to Chicago at a profit to tho dealer, thus relieving them from reliance on tho whim of the San Francisco butchers.
