Republican newspapers, fays the maha World- le raid, arc just now en gaged hi reproducing tin; tin' words Mr. Uno-ievelt used in referrhiglto 1 he crime of bribery. I'erhaps it would not l out of place for these iiws:iK-rs to publish alongside with its i:oosiv-l? recitations an editorial that which appeared In" tho Lincoln 'Kvcriing News, a republican paper, as follows, to-wit: "The Nrhraska-lL'ity News points Ut that Coventor Mickey admitted that an attempt was mad': to brlle him. hut that he has never brought the woii!d-le hriliers to justice. It wants to know why the governor does not follow the footsteps of the other public officers who have leeii tearing the mask off corruption arid corrupters. Tfie inquiry is well-timed. Why not, Mr. Mickey? The people of Nebraska are pretty well awake to the fact that there has lieen a great deal of graft perpetrated, and;t hey illi insist umii knowing who the guilty parties are. (lovernor Mickey has made definite largest that several attempts were made to brite him. An attempt to briln; Is a crime under the statutes, and if I inventor Mickey has actual knowledge of any such attempt then it is Ids duty, as a citizen, not to speak of his more pressing duty as an official, to exiHjse the guilty ersons. Mr. Mickey has heretofore refused to name the men, although he was very frank and specific iti making the charge. lie lias given nouood reason for his silence Just now we are on the trail of graft and grafters, and while we are at it let us have a turn at all of them. The governor is wronging someone by hi kllence, either the people whose laws were transgressed or the men whose names have leeri secretly hand led aljout as the ones indicated in his charges. If the governor refuses to give the names, he will furnish ground for the charge that he was posing and that riolmdy really attempted to bril; him. It Is time for Mr. Mickey to speak." Yes, stand up, governor, and give the names of your would-be 1 jri i ers, or acknowledge that you 1, or that your imagination went astray. Ilea man, or a mouse or a long-tailed rat. one. Heath and Wood. In condemning Heath and backing irneral (ought to lie plain Doctor) Wood, lioosevelt offers an Inconsisten cy to the public. The circumstances involved in the two cases are not alike, but each Is of prominence and import ance. The facts tending to warrant a presumption of Ileuth's conscious con nection with the postal scandal are decidedly fewer than those which would justify Wood's promotion. The UrUtow report Involves Heath but lacks the direct evidence that might bo accepted as a reflection upon his in tegrity. On the other hand, the testi mony of Major (General Urooke and of Major liuncie before the Senate Com mittee on Military Affairs seriously af fects General (Doctor) Wood, as to IkiUi military conduct and the olserv ance of military proprieties. With reference to Wood, the charges against him should be fully investiga ted. He should be brought back from the I'hilippines to make what answer he can. If his explanations are unsat isfactory to the senate committee the latter should not alone refuse to con firm his nomination, but should rebuke him. His nomination should not be confirmed In any event, since his serv ices) have not been of such overwhelm ing Importance that recognition of them requires an overturning of army precedents. The president is too strenuous as a liarinonizer of party differences. He hummoned Senator I'latt and (lovernor Odell, of 'ew York, to dine at the White House, that they might settle theirquarreloverthe leadership in their state. Since the meeting, me followers of the Senator and (lovernor have been more bitter than ever in the dispute as to who received Roosevelt's support. The Incident recalls the at tempts of the president to bring about harmony between the republican fac tions in Maryland, just before the last election. Did Senator Piatt feel llat tered when he heard that Teddy called him "a bully old boy?" With the publication of the Hristow report on the postal scandals, the re publicans lay stress on the fact that one of the many oflleials indicted began his illegal practices during the Cleveland administration. In the case of Perry S. Heath, however, they say there is no object in discussing what occurred several years ago, as the statute of lim itations would prevent a criminal pros ecution or the offender. Heath is still secretary of the Republican National Committee. Tns new British embassador to this country, who was formerly the English representative in Spain, declared in an interview tliat the Spaniard loves the American now as much as he does any other nation. He can't love the other nations very much, then. Kino I'ktek, of Servia. has sent an autograph letter to Roosevelt, inform ing him of his accession to the throne. Perhaps the manner in which Teddy recognized the revolutionists of Pana ma raised King Peter's hope for similar recognition. Wokkisomen inthe District of Col umbia, who are membersofthe Hearst Democratic Club, have urged John Sharp Williams, the democratic leader inthe House, toappoint William Ran dolph, nearst a member of the Com mittee on Labor, Fitly Yccn (ho Standard Improves iha flavor add adds to the h8althiu!n?S3 cf tha food.

Mr. and Mrs. I'tterback came to I'lat tsmoiith two years ago and opened a restaurant, and from the moment t heir doors were thrown open to the public, "Perry's Restaurant" became a household word, and t heir efforts to please all who come, well established throughout Cass county. It became the home of the farmer and his wift while in to.vii, and now t hit they hav removed t o Uiore spacious quart crs order to uive them still better accom modations, they should continue to i !.uw the crowd to Perry's new place.

Claude Johnson, a thirteen year old boy of Nehawka, experienced a very narrow escape from death Tuesday, as a result of climbing on the cars while they were doing sonic switching The young man, it. seems, was liangingou the sine of a box car, and was looking back to see if the hrakeman was watchingbiin, when the back of ids head struck against ! he stock yardschutc. He was knocked down and the car ran over one of his bands just below the wrist, cut ting il oil' entirely with the exception of the thumb. II is head was also badly cut and bruised, and was considered in critical shape, but at last accounts was yet alive, and strong hopes were enter tained for his recovery. Marstcn Comes to Grief. J. Forrest Marston, the gentleman who victimized six or qght part ies in the vicinity of Llmwood. this county, to the extent ofi;ior 70 some Hum; since has at last come to grief, and will be brought here to answer to the charge of fraud. Marston claimed at Kim wood to be doing business for the Casualty Insurance Company, of St. Louis. Mo., (a company unauthorized to dohusiuessin thestateof Nebraska ) collecting the advance premiums, and that is the last of their insurance, as their ioIicies have never yet reached them. It turns out that he never had any authority to do business for this companv.and that the company be rep resents having no authority to trans act business in the state, makes him doubly an offender. John L Pierce, State Insurance Auditor, came down from Lincoln last night and art vised Co. Attorney RtH.t of his arrest in that city, but l'ing rather doubt rul as to whether they could hold him on the charge for which he was arrested up there, insisted on the county attorney issuing a wartant for his arrest for the frauds be perpetrated inthiscoun ty. So armed with the proper docu ment Sheriff Mcllride went to Lincoln today after Marston, who no doubt will sleep behind the bars of the Cass coun ty jail to-night. Revolution Imminent. A sure sign of approaching revolt and serious trouble in your system is nervousness, sleeplessness, or stomach upsets. Klectric Pitt ers will quickly dismember the troublesome causes. It i ever fails to tone the stomach, regu lates the Kidneys and Rowels, stimu late the Liver and clarify the blood. Rundown systems benefit particularly ad all the usual attending aches van ish under its searching and thorough effectiveness. Klectric Rittcrs is only ."iic, and t hat is returned if it don't give perfect satisfaction. Cuaranteed by F. C Fricke & Co., druggists. A Russian General. Alexei Vasilievitch SuvarolT, one of the lcst generals of the Russian army, used to answer to the admirers of Ins successes on the battlefield that every man must attain success in life, if he wants to. Through delay many lost their chance for success, and many lost their lives. We can see it every day. I f everylKidy would use Triner's Amer ican Klixir i.f Ritter Wine, as shiii as his appetite is impaired, many a dis ease would never trouble him. This remedy speedily puts the stomach in working order and thus brings health and strength to the lody. energy and clearness to the mind. I not post pone this treatment whenever your stomach is out or order: whenever pm are excitable, nervous: whenever your sleep is disturbed: whenever you are dispondent. At drug stores, Jos.
