Wiikn congress meets and discovers that Secretary Ilitclicock has assumed the position of sole trustee for the Kiowa town-site funds there will be some lively sessions. With the beginning of the public schools comes the suggestion that the children should be vaccinated. Troub les never come singly especially in the eyes of the boys and girls. (JovKicNoit Cummins of Iowa is not willing, it is said, to te the republican candidate for vice president. Probably lie thinks it is lietter to decline the honor than to chase and-miss it. Tiik Uss of prestige incurred by acci dental president Roosevelt is propor tionate to the republican party's pat ron i zat ion of imperialism, militarism and the trusts. The high protective tarilT wrecks more than prestige. The word "ring" seems to grate in the ears of our Main street cotem porary like a death knell since the independent republican voters of Cass county know so well that the "editor" or the leaders. News is one of the "ring' A few more revelations, a few more suppressions and a little more public ity will compel a )elief that the Indian Territory is the Land of Graft. The people will not permit such a state of affairs to continue. The Missouri Idea has taken possession of public opinion. With one or two more instances similar to that when Senator liacon had to go without his breakfast because Hooker Washington and other negroes were occupying the dining-car, the rail roads will find themselves confronted with Jim Crow dining car laws in the southern states. Evidences of the gigantic frauds being practiced on the Indians of the five civilized tribes continues to mul tiply. Meanwhile, Secretary Hitch cock is concerning himself with who is responsible for the publication of the facts, rather than with who is respon sible for the existance of the abuses. Wonder if those distress warrants, that are piled up in l'lattsmoutli by the hundreds, will be given proper at tention before election? Weeping Herald. It is rather doubtful, if the proper orticials have the work of serving them to perform the treasurer or his dep uty, who are evidently engaged right now in trying to shirk this particular part of theirduty. Raffled in their attempt to throw all the blame for the uncollected dis tress warrants pigeon-holed in treasur er's office unserved onto the shoulders of Sheriff McIJride, the "ring" in now "pressed" for something to draw the attention of the people of Cass county entirely from the subject. Stick to the text, gentlemen. Don't begin to squirm this early in the game. I Fall men might know Judge Sulli van as he is known here in his own home; if all "Nebraskans might come in touch with his noble nature and clean character, then no campaign work could avail to defeat him in the con test. Columbus Telegram. The above is a grand tribute to an eminent jurist, and no man stands! higher in the estimation of net only the common people, but also the bar i of Nebraska, than Judge John J. Sul livan, and his record on the bench is approved by all. It Ls easy to see why the News is mak ing such a bitter tight on Sheriff Mc Bride. The word "patronage" is a cherished by-word in Ids vocabulary. The selfishness of the professed editor of that paper crops out on all sides. He wants the "whole cheese," which - he started out to get. and prevacaria tion to a certain extent will not check 'Mm in his greedy attempt to defeat Sheriff Mclfriue, ror no other reason than that he wants the patronage of that office. As the election approaches ' the people will find out more of the nar row miiiidness and his sole object in these bitter attacks upon a man whose ial record will bear the closes scru- Turn on the Lamp! We supposed, from the amount of cursing we heard on the street among republican politician last week over the fool attack upon Sheriff Mcllride and the distress warrant business, that the News would be tired of its editors. It seems however, that it is still In clined to vent its grievance upon ttie sheriff, and in its double-leaded edi torial of Saturday evening proposes that certain democrats pass on the sheriff's record. It's, a poor old bluff, and one would think it was accompan ied by a "jag," did they not know that the "professed editor" never indulges, In due time, the Journal is author izod to say, the aggrieved editor will be if i ven an inning, and his lamentations will go to the public in cold type. To the News we simply say Sheriff Mc- Ilride's office is open for inspection; so don't let his official acts cause you or any of your assistant editors any loss of sleep. I Jet down to your charges, gen tlemen the specific charge that the sheriff is guilty of failure of duty in office Ijecausc he has failed to collect distress warrants placed in his hands, immediately previous to the uom mat ing conventions. That is the charge the News made. The Journal replied in the interest of a capable, honest of ficial and friend, that the crime of official failure, if any offence of that na ture would lie against any official, was directly chargeable to the treasurer's office If there was any dereliction of duty in forcing the collection of per sonal taxes against the poor men of Cass county (for it is the poor man who owes these delinquent taxes, in ninety cases in a hundred. ) The News in its bluff steers clear of the replyof this paper that Mr. Barton and his deputy, Mr. Streight, are the persons to investigate in this contro versy. On the twenty-second day of July the sheriff had eleven hundred and forty-seven distress warrants in his hands for collection, previously handed him by Mr. Barton and his de puty. On that date this treasurer had the extreme confidence in the sheriff, and the apparent lack of confidence in himself and deputy, to insist on load ing the sheriff with nine hundred and fifty additional warrants for collection. Why this confidence in the sheriff? The sheriff would not accept these additional warrants, and left them in the hands of the officer especially desig nated by law to collect them. Will the News state to the public why it was not the treasurer's duty to collect these taxes? Mr. McUnde has never ben deputized by the treasurer to col lect any distress warrants. The war rants, he informs the Journal, were simply directed to and turned over to him in an informal manner, and should he proceed to levy and collect, as there in directed, he would do so as sheriff, and thereby probably make his bonds men liable for any damages aris ing from unwarranted levies. If lie should levy on personal property he must do so in the name of the treasur er; hence it is contended that Sheriff Mcllride has never been fully author ized to make a levy under any of these warrants. The statute of this state provides as follows: "The treas' urer either by himself or deputy, or the sheriff of the county, when directed by distress warrant, issued by said trcas urer." may make the levy. "The sheriff, when directed," means when properly deputized; for his act is the act of the treasurer. Sheriff McHride so understands the law, and he has good counsel, disinter ested, who so advise him. However, trie Journal takes pleasure in saying that the sheriff is, and has been per fectly willing to assist the treasurer in the collection of taxes, and has col lected and returned to that officer a sum exceeding $.")000,00. In no other county does the treasurer sit down and demand that the sheriff perform the unpleasant duties of his office. The statute requires that officer and his deputy to collect these taxes. They draw ample salaries from the public treasury to compensate them for the performance of that duty. It is only in extreme cases that a sheriff is called on to act as deputy treasurer; and cer tainly the statute providing for his so acting was not enacted to allow the county treasurer to dodge the respons ibility of making these collections on the eve of an election or to use the statute as a cloak f jr sharp practice. The Journal, therefore, insists that the attack upon Mr. McBride, as made in the News, was wholly unwarranted, and when understood can only react on ine treasurer's omce. iet the inves tigation go on, and let the charges made by the ews be investigated. The more "the lamp is turned on" the plainer it will appear that the News is engaged in a piece or a political trick ery at the expense of the sheriff some thing the people will not stand for. . If The News states anything but facts in this campaign please let us know. We aim to make no mistake- ments relative to the official acts of any candidate, that cannot be easily verinea oy oooks, papers or records per taining thereto. News. inis acknowledgment or a newspa per that "it may" (?) "state other than facts during the campaign," is a confession of weakness of said paper. The motto of Horace Greeley was: "When you see it in the Tribune, it's so." However, as the News desires to to be informed "if it states other than facLs." we will inform it that all the statements made in that paper derog atory of the official and personal char acter of Sheriff McBride, are 'untrue. The News has our consent to continue its "guessing." The St. Louis Exposition officials have just arranged to import the larg est gas engine in the world. It will be built in Belgium and will have 3,000 horse power. Too had the exposition author I CTr cannot capture Congress man Bur-it.

The (Courier admires the editor of a newspaper who comes out in his own paper and expresses an opinion on any subject. The public admires him for it, even if they do not agree with him, but the newspaper that is always anx ious to copy criticism from an exchange displays the booby act. The great and only daily newspaper in Cass county is edited by a freak of this caliber He never expresses an opinion doubt if he ever had one but he never lets an opportunity pass to reproduce what some other paper has to say about a contemporary. The Courier does not court the criticism of the News but if it is to come won't you please hand it to us first handed?. Don't go behind the bush and stab us in the back, lie fair aliout it. Louisville Courier. The Next Coroner. The (reen wood correspondent of the Ashland (Jazette (who, by the way, is a republican) pays the following com pliment to the democratic candidate for coroner of Cass county: "Our townsman, E. B. Craig received the nomination at the democratic conven tion for county coroner. Mr. Craig is a competent man and a good citizen and should be elected regardless of pol itics. We would be pleased to see him elected and will give him our support." Witen it comes to a comparison of the republican and democratic tickets of Cass county, it is an easy matter for the voters to decern the difference. If this comparison is taken man for man from the top to the bottom of each ticket, and the voter will support the best men for the various positions, the result will not be altogether one-sided as some members of the "ring" are so insane as to even presume. Stomach Trouble. "I have been troubled with my stomach for the past four years," says I). L. Beach, of Clover Nook Farm, Mass. "A few days ago I was induced to buy a box of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. I have taken part of them and feel a great deal better."

J. E. Douulass. LSEal County Judge Often Tte Kidneys Are Weakened bj Over-Work. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood that is their work. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or " feel badly," begin tatintr the ereat kidney remedy. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. If you are sick you can make no mis take by first doctonne your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Koot, the great kidney Temedy. is soon realized.

Democrats Divorce Politics and the Ju diciary and MaKe no Nomination. (Nebraska City News. Septemlx-r 0. r.HKi) The democratic convention .of the Second judicial district met in thiscity this afternoon, with good delegations present from each county. Cass coun ty came down with the determination to make no nomination, as they were strongly in favor of divorcing the judi ciary from politics and were well pleas ed with the record Judge Jessen has made in the past four years. II. U. (ieriug was elected chairman and U. M. Hubner secretary. On motion, O. N. Allen, J. V. Mor gan and (I. II. Manners were appoint ed a committee on resolutions, and they reported the-following resolu tions which were adopted: Whereas, The democrats of the state of Nebraska, believing that the judiciary should be of the highest in tegrity and honesty and free from all partisanship, have placed in nomina tion a candidate in the person of Joint J. Sullivan, who embodies all these ideas; and Wherers, The republicans of the Second judicial district have placed in nomination for the position of district judge a man of high ideas we, the democrats of the Second judicial dis trict, believing in a non-partisan judi ciary, endorse the candidacy of I Ion. Paul Jessen for district judge of the Second district. The central committee consists of, Otoe D. W. Livingston. John V. Morgan. Cass Fred Gorder, I). J. Pitman. A Battle With Bumble Bees. Henry Berlins was following one of the boys plowing the other duy, when a big nest of bumble bees was turned up. The beesdid not relish the idea of being turned out of house and home, so they made a bee line for Henry and his team. The horses ran and kicked, but Henry held on to them. When the fracus was over the horses were badly punctured and Henry had sixteen per forations on his arm. At supper they were talking and laughing about the Battle of the Bees, when Henry began to get sick, and in a few minutes he was unconscious. A doctor was sent for and had to work with him until midnight before he recovered con sciousness. The doctor said the poison from the sting caused it. If beestings are a preventive of rheumatism, Mr. Behrns ought to feel safe for a thousand years at least. Nehawka Register. Wedded at Wymore. A special from Wymore, Neb., under date of Friday, September 4, gives the following account of the marriage; of Geo. Freer of thiscity and MissAddie Samuels, of Wymore: "Mr. George Freer of Plattsmouth and Miss Addie Samuels were married at the residence of the bride's parents in this city at 12 o'clock Wednesday, the Rev. Miffatt officiating. Mrs. Freer has grown to womanhood in this city and has a large circle of friends who wish her much joy. Mr. Freler is an estimable young man who was former ly a baggage man in this town. Mr. and Mrs. Freer left on the evening train for Denver, where they will spend some time and then return to Platts mouth where they will make their home." Mynacrd Special Correspondence. J. F. Cook returned from Furnas county on Tuesday, where he had been for a week viewing his new home which he will occupy next spring. The show that showed here Tuesday night was slimly attended, but was as good as most of its kind, which is not saying much either. The rain - of Tuesday night and Wednesday has again stopped the threshing and the making of hay; it is thought only temorarily. x es, tnat nair crop or corn is going to be the biggest half crop you ever saw. Something like the "nigger" divided the fish into equal numbers, and then took all the largest himself, while the other "coon" got just as many fish only they were not so big. D. F. Kiser has wagon loads of peaches at his orchard, one mile east of Eight Mile Grove, at $1.50 per bush el. Anyone in need of peaches and cream will find the peaches there.
