i
Judge Welty Will Contest.
The statement made by the Journal
y that Judge D. T. Welty of the Fourteenth -
teenth judicial district would file his
t ° oath of office and attempt to retain his
seat has been verified by subsequent
events. Judge Welty has filed his oath
o office and Secretary of State Piper
refuses to accept it , Mr. Piper will notify -
x ify Judge Welty's agent in this city that
records of the state canvassing board
show that a gentleman named G. W.
Norris was elected in the Fourteenth
district , that Mr. Norris 1101(15 a certificate -
cate of election and has complied with
the law by filing his oath of office. In
addition to this the secretary of state
3 finds that the apportionment act of I8gt
provides for only one judge in that dis-
trict. Taking all this into consideration
the secretary of state politely declines
to accept Judge Welty's oath of office.
The attempted filing of his oath is understood -
derstood to be simply one step in Judge
Welty's effort to hold over. He is said
to be preparing to commence quo wart -
t rauto proceedings ir tlic supreme court
to obtain possession of the office. His
iM friends claim that the returns iii one
p s [ ireciuct had been tampered with and
that a forgery had been committed in
: . the raising of a cipher to a figure 6.
y
Quite a stir was made over that precinct ,
f but when it was corrected a recount gave
Norris an increase in naother precinct
° ludtoit the face of the returns he was
decfailed elected. Mr. Norris is a Re-
: publicanand Welty is the present PoIru-
list Judge , Mr. Norris filed his oath on
December 26th and Judge Welty presented -
sented his last Friday.-Lincoln Journal.
: { Iy1ight Have Been Serious.
, Mr , and Mrs. H , M. Finity were the
'i victims of a break-down and runaway ,
Monday evening , over on the Driftwood ,
k ; iu'the neighborhood of W. F. Everist's
ranch , of quite a painful sort.
1 A neck-yoke strap broke , letting the
pole down on the ground. The horses
began to kick and run , both occupants
Y were thrown from the buggy and the
vehicle onto them. Mrs. Finity was
painfully , but not seriously injured , and
o the buggy considerably damaged.
A gentleman in the neighborhood
kindly loaned a vehicle and assisted
, them in getting home. Mrs. Finity is
getting along nicely , and both she and
her husband are congratulating themselves -
selves that it is as well with them as it
is.
The horses got away , but did little or
uo injury to themselves.
Some Dissatisfaction.
The agitation of the idea of orgaatz-
t. . ing the iand"under the Meeker ditch in-
: tb an irrigation district is bringing to
tht urface some dissatisfaction and op-
: / pusitiou. A s we are not fully or clearly
. advised as to what such district organi-
a - nation contemplates we are unable to
-
state the merits of either side of the
question.
Perhaps as the : natter progresses we
may be able to learn more of the intentions -
tions of the organization , and more
- clearly understand just what such contemplated -
templated organization meatis to those
under the ditch.
McCook , it will be remembered , has
. . _ a cash interest of 3loooo in the ditch ,
+ and is naturally very much interested in
its successful and profitable operation.

an inspiring sightto behold. c
Judge Welty Appeals.
Judge Welty has paid several visits to
the capital recently. He has called on
Populist friend's , but the object of his
coming has not been announced. It is
reported that lie proposes to hold on to
the office which lie now occupies , notwithstanding -
withstanding the state canvassing board
issued a certificate of election to Mr.
Norris of , Leaver City. on the face of the
returns. The report is to the effect that
Judge Welty will file his oath of office ,
next week , at the expiration of the January -
uary term. Judge Norris will have his
oath of office on file at the same time ,
and then it is said to be Welty's plan to
claim that the approval o an oath of
office by the secretary of state is immaterial -
terial and that by some such movement
and a refusal to vacate his office Judge
Norris will be forced to take the offensive -
sive iu getting possession.
This plan is made light of by friends
of Judge Norris , They would not be
surprised , however , if it is attempted ,
as they state that Judge Welty proposed
a contest , but he did not feel able to bear
the expense , so he sent out a petition for
aid to Populists. This appeal was not
responded to very liberally and the plan
of instituting a contest was abandoned.
For this reason some believe that Judge
Welty rriay attempt to force Judge-elect
Norris to institute a contest. Mr. Norris -
ris has a certificate of election and lawyers -
yers do not understand on what claim
Welty could claim to hold office. Since
the supreme court sustained the demurrer -
rer of a , contestee without throwing any
light on the question of what court has
jurisdiction , there has been a dearth of
political contests such as Judge Welty
would have to institute.-State Journal.
A Pleasant Affair.
The public installation of the officers-
elect of McCook Lodge No. r , Star of
Jupiter , Monday evening , attracted a
good sized company , and a pleasant and
profitable evening was enjoyed by all
present , members and guests. The pro-
gramme of a literary and musical character -
acter provided was rendered to the satisfaction -
isfaction and entertainment of all , and
the occasion was withal a pleasing and
encouraging one.
Quite an interest is being worked up
in favor of the new order , and with returning -
turning prosperity new life and vigor
will doubtless come to it , and the field
will be doubtless widened and broadened
until it takes place with the great beneficiary -
ciary orders of the state ,
The People are Talking.
The recent trip of General Manager
Holdrege , General Superintendent Cal-
vert , Superintendent Campbell and others -
ers over the St. Francis branch has
awakened all the old talk about the e-
tension of that branch on into Colorado.
It is claimed that the Rock Island is doing -
ing a big business and that the Burlington -
ton naturally wants to put its fingers
into the pie , and that the only way the
Burlington can successfully compete
with the Rock Island for that business
is by extending the St. Francis line on
nto Colorado. We hope the talk may
mature into reality , and that spring
may see active operations uuder way.
Such a move would delight the employes
of the Western division beyond measnre.
More Than His Share.
Little Lee Gray is having more than
his share of grief , these days. He recently -
cently injured one of his eyes quite painfully -
fully , and has been carrying his eye in a
sling , as it were. This grief was sufficient -
cient for one of his tender years. But
Saturday evening he had the further
misfortune to fall out of a chair and to
badly fracture the bones of one of his
ittle arms at the wrist , so that his cup
of misfortune is for the present running
over.
The little fellow is , however , getting
on very well under professional care.
A Court Calendar .
Judge Welty is proceeding just a
hough he expected to dispense justice
from the bench of the Ionrteenth dis-
rict during the next four years at least.
He has issued his court calendar , which
gives Red Willow county two terms of
court , August 24th and December 29th.

An Important Position.
By the recent retirement of Paul Morton -
ton from the official directory of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. to become
third vice president and traffic manager
of the Santa Fe , the boys in the general
offices at Denver all got a raise , and
among them J. Floyd Welborn , at one
time to the First National bank of our
city , was elevated to the important posi-
ion of Assistant General Sales Agent o : C
the fuel department , upon which he is
to be congratulated.
To Create an Irrigation District.
We hear some talk that an effort will
be made in the not distant future to organize -
ganize an irrigation district of the land
under the Meeker ditch. Such a course C
w ould of coarse , among other things ,
ighten and equalize the burden of main-
tainance , which now falls pretty heavily
upon those who now receive wafter from
he ditch.

BY THE VtTAY. 1
Now that our excitement about the
Venezuelan boundary question has subsided -
sided a little , it is worth while to ask
ourselves if we Americans are not altogether -
gether too ready to entertain hatred for
the mother country. Politicians continually -
ually play upon our feeling of enmity
for England , and questions that should
be settled by judgments free from feel-
mg of any sort are made to appear
questions of national selfishness. This
is not patriotism any mote than greed
in the individual is a proper care for
self. The English have too great a corn-
mou heritage for them to cherish other
than friendly feclingsand more than that ,
the world's future is in their hands , and
the highest interests of humanity in all
quarters of the glove demand that England -
gland and the United States be a unit
in sympathy and iii common effort for a
finer humanity.
Y v T
In this present case the United States
is quite probably in the right , but it is
folly to stir up the war feeling. over the
matter. Very justly can we claim the
right or privilege of exercising a protectorate -
torate over our weaker American neighbors -
bors , but the feeling of brotherhood that
should exist between peoples having the
same language and literature and a corn-
tnon history ought to keep us front any
thought of war. Surely we should think
that the two foremost nations of the
world may he trusted to understand
each other and recognize each other's
rights without blows.

Did you ever think that a valuable
part of the small boy's education is the
"lickings" he receives at the hands of his
elder school fellows. When Tommy
comes home with red eyes and bleeding
nose and files complaint against Johnnie
Smith for wounding his feelings with a
skate strap , don't feel called upon to
speak coldly to Johnnie's father on the
street next day. You have some knowledge -
edge of the uses of adversity , and you
should not begrudge the profit of a little
bitter experience to your offspring. You
should remember , too , that you can not
deal with your young hopeful half so
effectively as can some one of his mates.
They know what he needs better than
you do. Give the boy a chance.

The launching of another monthly
inaguzine , the New Bohemian , at Cincinnati -
cinnati , is rather significant just now.
Perhaps I should have said rather that
the name of the new periodical is thesig-
nific ant thing , since it takes an expert to
keep track of magazine ventures nowad-
ays. We have become accustomed to think
of bohemiantsm as something quite apart
from the literary cult in America , where
Longfellow and Emerson and hosts of
others have made us think scholarship
and culture the things of worth. And ,
lo ! Here comes an editor who flaunts in
our faces his hope to succeed by an appeal -
peal to our love of the sensational- And
as if that was not enough the New Bo-
heutian advertises itself as a magazine
for the home. Can free life and free
love and jollity that reeks not of the morrow -
row nor cares for yesterday be gilded by
g enius and the charm of art into something -
thing fine and holy ? Who knows ?
V V V Y
I a m concerned in learning that the
electrical transmission of power is applied -
plied to the threshing of grain in
Sweden. How does it happen that
they are so far ahead of us up there in
the far north. Should not our rivers
also be made to save the poor horse , especially -
pecially in drought years when he can
not get enough to eat Could we not
plow with the waste energy of a spring
freshet ? Betterstihl , might we not save
up the excess of power in our eptemher
gales till the time for listing corn iii
April ? Nature is prodigal to us out Item ,
as we must admit when we remember
that force and not matter is the important -
tant thing always. Who can say that
the taming of the lightning is not an
herculean task in comparison with the
taming of the winds ?
