One Year, cash In advance,.,., 11.23 81k Months, cash In advance TS Gents' Entered atlhNorthPlalte(Nbrask)postoffleai toond-olasi matter. The British forces in Africa arc said to be handicapped by too much equipment. So that is the trouble; the general impression has been thai they were short on generalship and fighting' qual ities. Tin: British went up against the Heal Thing at Spionkop, and the effect was certainly very demoraliz ing as well as ghastly. They will probably find more such circum stances before they subdue the Boers. Candidates for state olliccs this fall arc now being sprung, and if western Nebraska has any it will be well to bring them forward in time. The west part of the state is entitled to representation on the republican state ticket, but somehow the fellows in the cast part of the state seldom think so. Tin: Illinois anti-tniBt law has been declared unconstitutional, but the Nebraska law utill stands solidly on the statute books. Since a popocratic attorney gener al haB been the state's prosecuting ofliccr. however, the law has not gotten near enough to the point of enforcement to stand any great strain. Bee. Attorney Gknkrai, Smyth has again blown his horn, and it is supposed that corporations in Ne braska arc trembling. This time Mr. Smyth proposes to begin suits for damages against all Nebraska railroads for violating the order of the state board of transportation relative to stock shipments. Go in Constantino; we will back you. No man is so partisan but that he will be moved to regret the assassination of William Goe bcl, the democratic contestant for the governorship of Kentucky. The shooting was the sequence of the political excitement which has been raging at Franktort for sev eral weeks, and is in keeping with the hot-headed character ot the people of Kentucky and their free use of fire arms on slight provoca t ions. For a year or two our democratic brethren denied the existence of prosperity in this country; later they admitted that there were some evidences of it, but that it would prove only temporary; now they admit that there is real prosperity but it ia not the kind that helps the toiler. It was hard for them to make denials in the face of indis putablc facts, but they have grad ually modified their views, and in a year hence they will probably be Bunicicutly honest to admit that this country is enjoying an unusual degree of prosperity and that it is all due to republican administra tion. As to whether the prosperity is of the kind that helps the toilers, the republicans will, as the State Journal says, be glad to Biibmlt that proposition to the laboring men without argument. The Keith County Argus says that last Saturday F. M, Richmond liuing near Brule, went to Big Springs and purchased a lot of lumber. Loading it on the run ning gears ol his wagon, he started home about dark. The lumber slipped forward against the horses and they ran away, throwing Mr, Richmond out on the frozen prairie, where he laid unconscious for a long time. Rous ing at last he attempted to walk only to find hia feet and limbs so badly frozen that it waa Imposed ble. He crept to a schoolhousc and remained till daylight and then started to crawl home, but t was discovered and carried home and medical aid summoned. His lower limbs were terribly frozen and his head and side bruised. lie is reported resting as comfortable as could be expected, BRADYISMND. 'The cold wave of Saturday was Highly BffptfcfcibfcQ afteY tub vlth out wraps weather wc had been having. The teachers of this division met Saturday or rather a few of them did. The typewriter, a Remington, ordered by Trucman Crandall came Wednesday evening. Mrs. T. Stevens from the island spent a day or two visiting Mrs. Ilcspin. The lumber for Mr. O'Rourke's building is on the ground and the work of framing has commenced. The building will be pushed as fast as the weather will permit. The dance given Friday night by the Woodmen was well attended by a nice crowd and a great deal of fun was had. The Royal Neighbors served supper in the Mathcwson building and made quite a sum to add to their general fund. Mrs. Pat Shields went to Willow Wednesday to attend the funeral of Ullcn McKcc who died Tuesday after a long illne&B. Miss Agnes Costiu, who was here visiting friends over Sunday, re turned to her home in Willow Sun day morning. Mabel Donehowcr who presides over the destinies of the young idea up on the Island was in town over Sunday visiting friends and attend ing the teacher's meeting. Miss Nelcyc West and Miss Anna Corcr came in from their schools to spend Saturday and Sunday return ing Sunday evening. The timbers for the track scale to be put in here by the U. P. for the Omaha Klevator Company have arrived and will doubtless be put in position soon, The plastering of the George house has been pushed despite the weather and contractor has seen to it that at least one place in the town was warm. Mrs. S. Parsons has been til but is improved cosidcrably now. The farmers are selling their grain and find it much more con venient to dump the load at the ele vator than to shovel the grain as they had to do heretofore. Frank Kelsey is helping Mr. Stiff with the plastering work. Saturday 13d Brown came home from KausaH. D.
