Geo, D, Carrington, superintendent of
tho public schools of Auburn, believes in
taking time by the forelock and giving said
appendage a hearty yank. He is a candi
date for state superintendent, and although
the primary will. not be held until Septem
ber, he is already posting his picture In the
windows. If Mr. Carrington is running on
his looks he ought to have hired a substi
tute to sit for his picture,

The Gerlngand ScottsbluS newspapers
are building railroads on paper. They
engage in this pleasant pastime whenever
a car-tracer or road-bed inspector passes
through their section. Tho Courier is lay
ing out an extension of the Union Pacific
from North Platte to Gering and then on
to Somewhere, and tho Republican is sur
veying a lino in its mind from O'Neill
to Scottsbluff, via Alliance and Angora,
and continuing to Godknowswherc. In
our young and optimistic days we indulged
such pipe-dreams, but sad experience and
many disappointments cured us.
Miss Grace Candy and Charley Beatetn
of Oakdale, this state, were married Wed

girl, and many young fellows tried to pull
her alongsido the hymeneal halter, but
Charley Beatem to it.

The Gering Courier advises all its re
publican readers to take advantage of Mr.
Bryan's visit to the valley and go and hear
him. This is rather handsome, consider

republican paper.
John O'Kcefe has a cow that is winning
a great reputation as a lawn-mower. The
cow occasionally escapes from her enclos

leaving nothing but the bare ground behind
her. John is proud of the animal but his
neighbors ain't.

Now the doctors say that solft drinks
cause diseases, such as shingles, rickets,
neurasthenia, elephantiasis, etc. The mi
crobes of these diseases develop in the
drinks, they say, and when they enter the
human system immediately begiu their
deadly work. And we have no antidote at
hand, Alliance having gone "dry." As our
old friend Bill Shake well says, "One woe.
doth tread upon another's heels."

The ''closest" parson we have ever
heard of is a woman rancher living near
Bayard. Harvey llarward, of near Mina
tare, says she objects to her hired man's
gallivanting around at night if he takes a
horse from the barn because it adds to
the wear of the barn-door hinges.
It's about time to begin preparing to
celeorate the Glorious I'onrth. Our neigh
boring towns in the valley are too busy
building railroads and bridges, sugar facto
ries and court houses, to organize a cele
bration, but they will doubtless send large
delegations to Alliance if they are assured
an enjoyable time.
ri It is sometimes a blessing to be poor.
One man owes his life to the fact that he
could not raise enough money to make him
a welcome visitor at Mrs. Gunness' home.
She invited him to come on, and promised
to marry him, "but," she said, "you must
bring a thousand dollars in currency to
show that you are not a grafter." He has
been thanking God for his poverty ever
since the horrible disclosures at the Gun'
ness farm.
