Last-week mention was made of a
sample mortgage taken by "Farmer"
Mickey. But not all of the items in
that mortgage were enumerated. Here
is the complete list:
. Small corncrib.
Small summer kitchen.
Well platform. '
A Stairway.
Two-thirds of forty-nine acres of
crops.
Shades of the boar black pig and
cow called Speck! A mortgage on a
platform built over a hole in the
groundl What was the matter with
the hole that "Farmer" Mickey
neglected to take a mortgage on that?
He took a mortgage on the crib,
The kitchen and the stairs;
And on two-thirds of all the crop
The rented farmland bears.
The well platform was listed, too,
But Mickey's kindly soul
Prevented him from plastering
A mortgage 'on the hole.
. He'd take a mortgage on the crib,
For that was there to stay;
He'd take a mortgage on the stairs.
That could not get away.
But not a cent upon the hole
He thought some villain might
Pull up the hole and cart it off
Some starless, moonless night.
Right there's where "Farmer" Mick
ey dropped
His chunk of chewing wax,
And showed that shrewd as he may
be,
He clearest foresight lacks.
He's bound to drop into a hole
On next election day,
And he would feel much more at home
In his own hole to stay.
We have forgotten thet year in which
the Polk county courthouse burned.
Neither can we name all the Polk
county officials in office when the fire
occurred.
The fusionists honored the news
paper profession when they nominated
Charley De France for auditor of pub
lic accounts. De France is one of the
real newspaper men of the state. He
has "rolled," "pulled press," set type,
made up forms, written locals and
ground out editorials iu fact, has ex
perienedd all the trials and worries of
" country newspaper existence. He is
one of the bhoys. He is an expert ac
countant, has been admitted to the
bar and knows more about the state
house than any republican official now
occupying an office in it. If the tax
payers of Nebraska do not elect Char
ley De France to the office of auditor
it will be because they don't care a
tinker's dam about getting good men to
transact their business for them.
The State Journal wants to know
where Pat Barry is. He is attending
to his own business. He is not villify
ing his neighbors for political effect;
not hunting up all the nasty, partisan,
mean, low and -disgusting things he
can find concerning a distinguished
citizen of his home town and repeating
them with ghoulish glee. Pat Barry is
conducting himself like a gentleman.
The State Journal should conduct
itself like a newspaper.
Roosevelt has been exhibiting his
skill with the revolver. What between
shooting off his mouth and shooting off
his revolvers, Mr. Roosevelt is too
busy to shackle any cunning these
days.
The republican party shackle the
trusts? How in thunder could the
trusts o down into their pocket for
republican campaign funds if their
hands are shackled? The man who
believes that the trusts will ever be
curbed by the g. o. p. should have his
head bored for the simples.
A preacher named Nixon addressed
the Epworth assembly in Lincoln last
week and talked on the "Threat of
Socialism." Nixon exhibited an appall
ing ignorance of his subject, of his
Bible, of his creed and of his God.
He also exhibited a collossal ' egotism,
a narrow partisanship and blind belief
that the ignorant masses should
look to men liko Nixon for guidance.
Jesus Christ was a socialist, taught
true socialism, ane the early Christians
practiced it until greed and selfishness
stalked into their midst and forced
thoughts of the Master to take second
place to thoughts of Mammon. The
Rev. Mr. Nixon should hie himself to
a secluded spot and study the New
Testamont.

THE rAMOl'S HOT SPRINGS.
Kcv. O. C. Jcffcrs Writes KntcrtnlnliiRlr
of Ills Sojourn In the Hills.
Editors Alliance Herald: As wo
have plenty of timo at our disposal up
here, I thought I would write you a letter
that you might know as to our where
abouts and welfare. As you know, wo
left Allianco pn No 41, Wednesday of last
week. We arrived at this place at 3:30
o'clock, one-half an hour late. The ride
of twelve miles from Minnekahta on tho
main lino of the B. & M., is a most pic
turesque and romantic one. Tho railroad
winds through a very deep and narrow
cut in massive red rocks, hewn out by the
hand of omnipotence. That sheen of red
spreading itself among the green of the
pines, presents a most attractivc.picturc.
The fiery red of these rocks is doubtless
due to the fact that before the gigantic
upheavel which piled up the Black Hills,
heaps upon heaps, they were subjected to
the intense heat of the inner fires of the
earth. Such a breaking up of tho earth's
crust and on so gigantic a scale as is here
manifest, I have rarely seen. That the
Black Hills are of volcanic origin has some
coloring from a legend current among tho
Indian tribes of this region to the effect
that many, many moons ago, their gods
became very angry and spit out great vol
umes of fire.
The ride to the Springs being a hot and
dusty one, the first thing was to get a
drink of water. Everybody drinks at the
Kidney spring. So to do as the Romans
do while with them, we betook ourselves
to that famous fount. Upon my first
drinking from this spring, the words that
John, the Revelator, heard on Patmos,
came into mind "I would thou wert cold
or hot. So because thou art lukewarm and
neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of
my mouth." I drink from this spring
from principle, not because I like the
water.
After two or three days rest, the next
thing in order was a bath in the big plunge.
For combining healthful exercise with
pleasurable recreation, nothing can com
pare with the plunge bath. It can wash
away the filth of the flesh, and many an
ache and pain. In fact the plunge will wash
away everything but sin. A man comes
out with the same meanness with which he
went in. It turned my thought to the
fountain opened in the house of David,
that beats Hot Springs and puts its waters
in the background, for it can wash away
sin and every evil way.
One mile down the Elkhorn Valley rail
road we visited on Saturday an orchard of
several acres of as fine apples as I ever
saw in the state of New York. The trees
are
loaded and every apple seems to be
perfect. The owner of the apple orchard
also has two fields of alfalfa of most
luxuriant growth, the present growth being
the second grown this year. And all this
is a result of irrigation.
Monday we made the ascent o Battle
mountain, a silent monitor keeping watch
over the inhabitants of the Springs, by day
and by night alike. One could scarcely
imagine a more enchanting view man is
presented from its summit. Harney a
peak, the highest in the Hills, comes
clearly into view. And by the aid of a
good field glass, the Needles are plainly
seen. From this elevated point of 5,000
feet four states can be seen. The view is
a charming one. In making our ascent,
we picked up some Indian arrow heads,
which told their own sad tale of carnage
in the strife for supremacy between the
Sioux and Cheycnnes, years ago.
At present. Hot Springs is exulting
over the achievements of their member in
congress who has secured the passage of a
bill providing for a soldiers' national sani
tarium. The site has been selected just
east of town and .north of the high school
building upon one of the adjacent table
lands. Sixty acres have been given by
citizens of the town and $170,000 appro
priated by Congress. I understand the
project is expected to cost a million dol
lars when completed.
As a place for rest and pleasurable recre
ation, none can surpass Hot Springs.
Mrs. J e tiers and myself are comfortably
located at reasonable expense at the Hueb
ner house on the hill. We shall, however,
be glad to be at our work again and among
our own people. You will see us back
again next week.
Every hotel and boarding house is full,
so large is the patronage at present. One
might consider themselves fortunate to get
a good room without previous engagement.
Many thanks for your time and space.
Sincerely yours, G. G. Jeffkks.

.MOVING PICTlltH SHOW.
Entertainment Will lie Given to Liquldnto
Lectin o Courso Debt.
Last winter, it will be remembered by
everyone who was living here at that time,
a number of our progressive citizens,
knowing the incalculable benefit to a
community to be derived from a lecturo
course when care in the selection of tho
speakers and their themes is used, took it
upon themselves to arrange such a course
for this city. No other one thing could be
done for a city's or community's intellec
tual advancement that would yield richer
returns. When a man of mature mind, of
ripe scholarship and broad sympathies has
a message for mankind, when he gives the
best that is in him for the preparation and
delivery of that message, his auditors get
the very cream of all thought pertaining
to the subject of which ho speaks. Such
a man not only thinks, but make those
who hear him think the greatest boou
they could desire, or that he could confer
the creation of the mental and spiritual
desire for food that can only be satisfied
by further thought and research; and hu
manity Is the beneficiary of the resultant
broadening of intellect, deepening of
thought and sympathies and clearer, more
comprehensive conception of the great
truths of existence and discovery of the
new truths infinity leaves for man to
learn.
It was with the altruistic desire that the
beneficial results above spoken of might
accrue to their community that the com
mittee projected a lecture course. The
lecturers they secured were among the
ablest on tho American platform today and
the course was all that those who instituted
it could have desired it to be in every way
except financially. It left them with a
debt of about $100. This leaves each of
those who stood sponsor to the enterprise
to pay about S20 as his share of the ex
pense. It is not right that these men
should bear all tho burden when so many
shared the pleasure. All who arc ac
quainted with the circumstances feel that
way about it. Accordingly one of the best
attractions of its class has been secured to
give an entertainment at tho opera house
next Tuesday evening, August 26.
On the above date Mr. and Mrs. M, M.
McDonald will give a reproduction of the
Passion Play,' illustrated with views in
colors and the various scenes will be ex
plained by a lecturer who travels with
them. This takes up about one-half of
the entertainment. The second part of
the program will consist of stcreoptican
views and life-size, life-moving pictures,
representing a great variety of scenes full
of fun, interest and excitement. Living
pictures of President McKinley will be
shown, also of Carrie Nation and the burn
ing of St. Pierre. New illustrated popular
songs and hymns will "be given, A royal
entertainment is promised. Don't fail to
see and enjoy it, and the reby give assistance
to a laudable enterprise.
Admission: General, 35 cents; children,
25 cents; reserved seats, 50 cents.
Our Candidate.
Gen. Patrick II. Barry, fusion nominee
for congress in this, the Sixth district, ar
rived in the city Saturday last and re
mained until Tuesday morning. The
general's visit was merely preliminary to a
future one at some date after the cam
paign has fairly opened, at which time he
will set forth publicly his side of the
argument. During his short stay in the
city on this occasion General Barry made
many new acquaintances and was received
everywhere with a welcome that con
vinced himself, as well as his friends and
j supporters, that he is a popular candidate,
and that Moses P. Kinkaid, Esq., instead
of having a walk-over, as some of his par
tisans foolishly imagine, is up against one
of the hardest propositions that has con
fronted him in all his officeseeking career.
What a contrast in the two men! One a
sleek, oily-tongued politician, ever soaking
political office; the other a plain, practical,
evenly-balanced man of the people, whose
bearing and appearance show plainly that
implicit confidence and trust can be re
posed in him. The people are for Barry,
and he is as certain of election as that he
is able and worthy of the high office for
which he has been nominated. Hurrah
for the gallant and brave old soldier,
whose record is second to no man who
ever answered the call of his country!
Tried and true in the past, we know how
to gauge him in the future.
