MANDERSON may not be as anxious or willing to sacrifice his , relatives as Thurston , but lie is all right. SENATOR THURSTON sayshe was "in- cidentally approached by the representative - tative of a well known power in Nebraska - ka politics" , a declaration which sounds very much like a Rosewater fulmination against the B & N..railway. Is it possible - ible that the choice of delegates is to degenerate - generate into a Major's row.-Red Cloud Belt. DANBURY. S.V. . McKee of Cedar Bluffs was a visitor , Tuesday.

Farmers are wearing a look of contentment - tentment these times whichwe hope will last throughout the year. Indeed the outlook at the present time is very en-S couragtng. Every one , seems to be in good spirits and they are going to work with hearty good Will. We trust their labors will be rewarded when the reap. ing time comes , by well filled granaries and when winter holds mother earth in his icy embrace , he will find us a happy and contented people.

Miss Viola Corner is better. The clove in her lung gives but little trouble now. C. F. Babcock and H. W. Cole were up this was in the interest of the Star of Jupiter. Mr. . Johns who recently arrived from Ohio has rented and moved onto the Nicklas farm. Geo. Howell drove to the new county seat , the other day with his wagon partly - ly loaded with eggs. Joe McBrayer of McCook was out this way Sunday , but was a little late for preaching. Next time come a little ear- her , Joe. Ed. Osbaugh's team ran off and got 1 ( into a wire fence and will be unable for duty for several weeks. Mr. Osbaugh went to Hayes county and brought down a team of mules to work until horses get well. Now boys , if you will just leave the planning of the next party entirely with the girls , we will gtarantee there will be more than five girls to seventeen boys present. As this is leap year why not request the girls to do the planning. Young man , be careful of the example - ample you set before your little brothers - ers and sisters. Don't say so many foolish - ish things and think it smart. Better stop before people find out how silly you are. If you can't think of anythingsen- sible to say , better you keep still. "A still tongue rests in a wise head"-Solo- mon. Sometimes young men seem to have no idea as to the value of time when sent on an errand. A youugman was recently - ly sent a little over a mile and was expected - pected back in three quarters of an hour. He was gone four hours and then came home and had forgotten half the errand lie was sent on. A young lady was sent three-fourths of a mile , and she got home in 35 minutes. Boy's don't be so miserably - ably slow. Have some life some "getup and get" about you. There are- some girls up here , who , if sent on an errand a mile on foot will get back in half the time some of the boys will if sent the same distance on a pony. BOX ELDER. Oscar Werner is working for S. P. Hart. Mrs. William Doyle , who has been quite sick , is recovering. We understand that Mrs. J. H. Stephens - ens of Bartley has been visiting in this town. There will be some broom .corn planted , this year , but the acreage will not be large. Wolf hunts are the order of the day. Three wolves were corralled on Monday but as usual escaped. The sleighing fever was epidemic , last Sunday. The only vehicle not represented - sented on runners at church was the bicycle. There is nothing artistic about the fence around the cemetery but it certainly - tainly shows more respect for the dead than allowing the stock to use the grave stones for rubbing posts. The protracted meetings ha' e riot drawn very large crowds so far. The weather has been one drawback and it is also getting quite late in theseason. The people were disappointed on Sunday evening - ning , as the roads were too bad for Rev. Morris to be present. Seed Potatoes. Out of 32 varieties of potatoes tested , last year , by a leading potatoe grower of the west , the RURAI , NEW YORKER No. 2 took the lead of late varieties. It is excellent in quality , smooth , white skin and flesh , an immense yielder , and undoubtedly - doubtedly the greatest drouth resisting sort in existence. We raised 300 bushels from a single acre , the last year , without - out irrigation after the seed was planted , while other varieties only went from 40 to 100 bushels per acre. Have a number of bushels of this variety which I will sell at Soc. per bushel , delivered at Mc- Cook if desired. Other varieties at 35c. All pure seed. S. E. SGLoMON , Culbertson , Neb.

They Are the Greatest Cnrlosltles Among Ceylon's Domesticated Anlmals. One of th r greatest curiosities among the domesticated animals of Ceylon is a breed of cattle known to the zoologists as the "sacred running oxen. " They are the dwarfs of the whole ox family , the largest specimens of the species never - er exceeding 30 inches , or 23 feet in height. One sent to the Marquis of Canterbury - terbury in the year 1891 , and which is still living and believed to be somewhere - where near 10 years of age , is only 22 inches high and weights but 109 j pounds. In Ceylon they are used for making quick trips across the country with express matter , and other light loads , and it is said that four of thorn can pull a driver of a two wheeled cart and a 200 pound load of miscellaneous matter 00 to 70 miles a day. They keep up a constant swinging trot or run and have been known to travel 100 miles in a day and , night without either feed or water. No one knows anything concerning - ing the origin of this peculiar breed of miniature cattle. They have been known oS the island of Ceylon and in other Buddhistic countries for more than a thousand years. One story told to account - count for their origin is to the effect that they were originally cattle of the ordinary height and bulk ; that a Bud- dhistic priest was onto imprisoned in a stone building , ono-half of which was used for a cattle stable. 'During the night lie managed to dislodge one of the stones in his prison wall. The stouo in question was exactly 23 feet square. It was almost daylight when this apostle of Buddha felt the air rush tlirohgh the opening ho had made and realized that he was all but free. He knew that ho would be unable to get out of the enemy's country on foot , so he prayed that ho might be provided with a beast of burden that woulll safely carry him to the homes of the followers of Buddha. No sooner had he done this than one of the large oxen which had been quietly feeding in a stall at his side walked leisurely to the 30 inch sgnaro . opening and miraculously passed through it. The priest followed and mounted the now sacredly dwarfed beast and was soon safe in his own country. Since that time , so the story goes , there has been a breed of "sacred running oxen" in Ceylon , which never grow too tall to pass through au opening the size of that made in the prison wall by Bud- dha's representative on the night when he miraculously escaped on the back of the first of the famous dwarfed oxen.- St. Louis Republic. Recollections of Ilismarck's Wartime. In the columns of The Krenzzeitung Herr Amlrae , a well known Conservative politician and friend of Prince Bismarck - marck , gives some interesting recollections - tions of the period of the war of 1570. He says : "Bjjsmarck read on the 9th of July the speech delivered by the Duke of Grammout on the 0th. He was at dinner and handed the newspaper to his wife , with the words : 'The Duke of Grammont must have soon got tired of his office. I shall , of course , have to ask for his resignation. ' Later in the evening - ing , while walking in the park at Varzin and thinking of the matter , the idea suddenly calno to him , 'Napoleon wants war , andGrammont'sspeech was dictated by him. ' "He went to his roomhis first thought being to telegraph to the king , at Ems , as follows , 'It would be best to mobilize at once , declare war and attack before France is prepared. ' His nerves were strung to the highest tension , and he passed a sleepless night. Lying awake , thinking , there crossed his mind the text , 'Blessed are the peacemakers , for they shall be called the children of God. ' 'So that won't do , ' he said to himself. Then all the political consequences of his contemplated action became clear to him , and he ended by casting the first message aside and telegraphing to King William simply not to pledge himself to anything with Benedetti , who , if lie became - came pressing , was to ho told , 'My minister - ister of foreign affairs is at Varzfu. ' " -London News. A Triumph o Elementary Education. The following little incident happened in a London suburb : A bootmaker's apprentice - prentice , a lad of about 14 , delivered a pair of boots at a tradesman's house. The tradesman's wife , accustomed to orderly business ways , asked the lad , after handing him the money for the boots , to receipt the bill. At this request - quest the lad showed the greatest confusion - fusion , so that the woman , to reassure him , said , "Just receipt it , as a matter of business. " Whereupon he wrote laboriously something on the paper. In the evening , when the tradesman examined - ined the papers on the spike , he came upon a bootmaker's bill , at the foot of which was written in large letters in a schoolboy hand , "As a matter of busi- ness. " It was the youthful apprentices literal interpretation of the demand for a receipt as a matter of business.-West- mfuster Review. How Temiyson Asked For an Apple. Mr. Sherrard adds that his father ' used to tell him that when he was a boy he once met Tennyson at a dinner party , and that he was v ry frightened at his appearance. "Tennyson was at that time very sallow-almost yellow -and had long black hair. At dessert the poet bent across the table and addressed - dressed my father , in front of whom was placed a dish of fruit , and said , 'Evolve me an apple.
