Announcement of county and sheriff candidacies in Cheyenne county

The notice announces candidacies for county commissioner and sheriff in Cheyenne county under Republican convention guidance. It cites E S Crigler as sheriff candidate and P J Spencer and A Brott as other sheriff contenders. An Eastland.Canard item then mocks a Chicago Times tale about Sidney Nebraska, arguing the town is no frontier outpost but a civilized farming community with churches and schools and no vigilantes.

Wannamaker Reply to Postmaster General on Telegraph Profit

The Postmaster General answered President Green of Western Union Telegraph Company regarding government message transmission. Green’s claim that profits fall below 20 cents per message is contrasted with his own testimony that the company could profitably handle messages for less than half that amount. Green argues no government right of way obligation, a point Wannamaker counters. The piece suggests telegraph firms may protest mill rate rules as government business often proves unprofitable, yet public interest remains.

Telegraph and Bonding Debates and Local Appointments

The Telegraph argues telegraph firms should do government work without charge, but would accept a reasonable price for payment. The county favors bonding to pay cash for obligations, ending warrant shavers. Manderson pension and back pay debates divide papers. Canada severities and Behring Sea tensions loom amid potential U S government retaliation. Chadron land office appointments and a fall redistricting move spark local interest.
