A mind reader held forth on the

played his fife to the tunc of Over the
Hills and Far Away."

royally entertained last Friday evening

visement till 8 o'clock in the evening,

appeared for the state and Wm. Mitch
ell conducted the defense.
Engineer M. F. Nolan surprised his

home in Ireland, and left the same
night on train 44 for the Emerald Isle.
"Mike" Nolan is one of the old-time
and faithful passenger engineers on the
Ravenna-Alliance run of, the Burlington
and has made many thousands of miles
at the throttle. In fact, his record
shows that in miles he has more than
traveled around the, world, and in all
that time he has handled the iron horse
without accident mid with little delay.
Recently Mr. Nolan sustained an in
jury to one of his limbs, which necessi
tated his laying off for several months,
and in the meantime he will take ad
vantage of the opportunity to visit the
land of his birth. We hope to hear
from "Mike" occasionally during his
stay in Ireland and will share this in
formation with our readers, for it will
doubtless bo interesting reading.

Abraham Lincoln was not afraid to stand
up for anything or anybody he believed to
be right. He would not have ducked or
hedged because standing up for the right
at some time and place might have have
offended somebody. He believed in post-
tiveness. He had nothing of the molly
coddle in him. Some good little bits of
Lincoln advice float about from time to
lime. II era's a bit printed on a small
card, with which some one is doing mis
sionary work: "I like to see a man proud
of the place in which he lives. I like to
see a man who lives in it so that his place
will bo prond of him. Be honest, but hate
no one. Overturn a man's wrong, but do
not overturn him unless it must be done in
overturning the wrong. Stand with any
body that stands right. Stand with him
while he is right, and part with him when
be goes wrong."

Ti The Bridgeport Blade is advocating a
partition of Cheyenne county into two coun
ties, with Bridgeport as capital of the new
county. A vote was taken on the proposi
tion last year, and there was a small ma
jority in its favor, but it did not receive a
majority of the votes cast at the election
which the law requires. In case the coun
ty should be divided, Bridgeport will find
a strong competitor for the county-seat in
the city of Angora. The latter claims to
possess advantages over the former which
are entitled to careful consideration: It is
an ideal spot to live the simple, quiet life
no distracting noises from many railroad
trains as at Bridgeport therefore condu
cive to more and better work on the part of
county officers; it is also a moral town, be
ing without saloons or other dens of wick
edness found in Bridgeport: and, finally,
its name is more euphonious than Bridge
port, reminding one so forcibly of those
lovely household pets Angora cats and
goats.

TI Edgar Howard, of the Columbus Tele
gram, has announced his candidacy for the
democratic nomination for congressman in
the Third district. We earnestly hope be
will be nominated, for he is the strongest
democrat in the district, and his nomina
tion in that district this year will insure a
gain of one democratic congressman from
Nebraska at least. Edgar Howard is a
self-made man. He commenced life at the
printers' case, and in his early days faced
all the "slings and arrows of outrageous
fortune" incident to the experience of the
poor "tourist," sven being compelled by
adverse circumstances to board a side-door
Pullman occasionaly. Hence his svmna-
I thies are with the working classes. In the
course of time, by industry and frugality
he acquired a newspaper at Papillion, this
state, and by putting out a live and spicy
paper made "himself so popular that the
people elected him county judge and after
wards sent him to the legislature. Seek
ing a larger field than Papillion afforded,
he removed to Columbus and purchased
the Telegram, which he has made one of
tb. best and brightest papers in the state.
Although now on Easy street Edgar still
recognizes his old-time friends whom fickle
Fortune has not treated so kindly. Judge
Howard is an acknowledged leader of Ne
braska democracy, has more gray matter
in his think-tank than the average member
of congress, and is an all-around good fel
low to boot,
1j A land-hunter named Aubrey, from
Posey county, Uooppole townRhip, Hoos
ieranna, stirred up quite a commotion at
the Barry House last Sunday morning. He
had paid for his lodging and breakfast in
advance, but breaklast not being ready
when the 5-55 westbound passenger train
rolled in which he wished to board he
claimed a rebate of 25c, and the landlady
and clerk both being in bed, ho pranced all
over the bouse trying to find them. He
woke everybody in the house, causing sev
eral persons to break the Sabbath and ah 0
the anti-profanity commandment. Finally
another guest realizing that the only way
to get rid of the Hoosier was to give him a
quarter, tendered him one from his own
pocket and the Uoosier took it. Some
men are so "close" that they would walk
across the mouth of bell on a rotten rail if
they saw a nickel on the other side. But,
then, this fellow was from Indiana, which
fact, like charity, excuses many sins.
