WERE the immortal Lincoli
with us today , would he be sc
cocksure of not being nble to fee !
nil the peoplf nil the time ?
WITH so mnny patriots putting
in over-time iu their strenuous ef
forts to dodge nominntioiis to of
fice , it is quite mirnculous thnt sc
few good offices go a-begging foi
occupants.
BED WILLOW county Republi
cans present the voters of the
county a clean nud nble ticket
this fall. If the hatchet can be
buried too deep for resurrectioE
every man on the ticket will coine
out of the fall election with his
colors flying.
THE average back-country politi
cian perhaps never so fully realizes
how small and under-sized he is ,
how light his draft , until he at
tends a state convention , returns
home and attempts to take account
of stock , endeavors to figure out
* O
what he accomplished in the gen
eral round up. He then is im
pressed uuforetnbly with the fact
that there are other pebbles on
the beach.
THE Republican state conven
tion in Lincoln , this week , put up
what is generally recognized as a
strong and able ticket. The con
vention was presided over by Sen
ator Thurston , one of the best offi
cers in America in that capacity.
At the head of our columns will
be found the ticket named , with
Judge Hay ward at the head. The
Republicans of Nebraska \vill en
ter the fight , this fall , with enthus
iasm.
FOLLOWING the death of Captain
Gridley of the Olympia comes the
retirement of Captain Clark of the
peerless Oregon ; both going to
prove that the demands made on
the commanders of the modern
warship are infinitely exacting aud
that the price of such eternal vigi
lance aud immortal accomplish
ment as characterize the American
battleship , their brave and intelli
gent commanders and fearless ,
stout-hearted crews , is thv1 failure
of even robust health if not the
laying down of life on the country's
altar. Its an awe-inspiring , admi
ration-compelling gait , but it's a
killing one.

This community was shocked on

ions were very favorable for his
v
jarly recovery , but on Sunday it
) ecame evident to the attending
) hysiciau that his heart was fail-
ng rapidly. The action of this
rgan gradually grew weaker until
leath resulted at 10 o'clock , Tues-
lay evening. The funeral , under
he supervision of the local lodge
f the Star of Jupiter , occurred
m Thursday afternoon , interment
leing made in the cemetery north-
rest of town. The sympathy of

ittle ones and his parents who sur-
ive him.

A PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS :
When you are sick , if you wish to be cured you will call
upon a doctor. You will visit one in whom you have confi
dence that he has a knowledge of his profession , has experi
ence , and knows how a well man should appear and feel.
Anybody can have a book of samples.
Why not a medicine chest and call themselves a doctor ?
We have a practical experience of over thirty years in
this line and it is reasonable to suppose that we have a bet
ter knowledge of the business than those whose entire stock
in trade consists of opening a sample book or two and quot
ing prices. In the meantime they cannot tell the difference
between a piece of goods which cost 49c and one costing
$2.89 per yard.
Give us a trial. You will be a permanent customer.
THE FAMOUS CLOTHING COMPANY.
A Plea for Our First Volunteers.
In these days of excitement over the cases
of fever and all the other ailments that RO to
make the soldier's life one of supreme torture ,
the eyes of the nation are fixed on Cuba where
so many of her sons have given up all of this
life , and others lie on beds of disease and
pain. They are within reach of Washington
by cable , and with the dispatch boats the dis
tance is not formidable.
All philanthropic organizations are making
grad efforts to send them all the aid needed
and possible. Eighteen transports are lying
at the wharfs , hastening in every manner pos
sible their embarkation for the home land.
And with the facilities already at hand , the
sick ones who are obliged to be left behind
will have ample attendance. And this is just
and right.
Our governor and his staff are going to visit
Chickamauga and Jacksonville , where the
brave Second and Third are encamped , and
if they have a need congress will be besieged
to supply that need. And they , too , are with
in reach of friends by telegraph , telephone
and mail service. Cheers for the governor
and aids who stop to remember "the man be
hind the gun ! " 3 Cheers for Omaha , which re
members her boys with kind wishes and boxes
of good things !
13ut , you will ask , why all this preliminary ?
Simply this. . : ; Has Nebraska forgotten that
she sent her First regiment to an island in the
Pacific Ocean , six weeks or two months travel
from their homes ? Far away from our presi
dent and congress.strangers in a strange land.
No direct telegraph or mail service. Denied
even the consolation of cheering letters , ex
cept at long intervals , and boxes and visits
From the home friends , and landing amen }
strange scenes after an ocean voyage of abou
six weeks , with over a thousand men on each
ship. Between SanFrancisco and Honolult
they had two and a half gallons of water pe
man , and from there to Manila one gallon
per day for all needs , when salt water could
not be used. And their welcomeI What wa
that ?
Who welcomed the First Nebraska in San
Francisco and fed the well ones , cared for the
iiomesick and really sick ones , devised ways
xnd means for their comfort and well-being
Who were the last at the wharf with thei
Jodspeed , giving to each one a box of lunch
ifter their march through the broiling sun
: ven procuring a steamer and taking the
jray-haired mothers out for a last look and
vave of the hand to their soldier boys ? The
nembers of the Red Cross Society of San
Francisco.
And now they are making every effort to
lend out after them the supplies they are soon
0 stand in need of. Massachusetts has given
1 ship to be fitted for a hospital ship , but the
vomen are anxious for a station on shore at
Manila , realizing that a hospital ship , or even
wo , would not be equal to the demands. The
athers and mothers of the Tennessee troops
vhich passed through McCook have written
hanking the society for its work , as also has
Colorado , Montana , Oregon , and perhaps
ome otheis.
Nebraska has nobly responded to the na-
ion'scall with the flower of her young man
lood , in both the east and the west , and we
ire quite sure her people only need to have
hese facts brought to their attention to rouse
hem to prompt action on behalf of these
> oys. While one is no more entitled to aid
han another , the one thing that should guide
is is the NEED , always remembering that "an
mnce of prevention is worth a pound of cure , "
/here the health and well-being of the soldier
5 concerned.
Peace , with her white wings , is hovering
iver our beloved land. At the same time it
nust necessarily be a considerable length of
ime ere the soldiers of Manila can be within
ur borders and conditions may be such as to
ecessitate their stay the whole time of their
nlistment. To a people who are so tena-
ious of their liberties and their rights , who
re so quick to avenge a wrong , whose cry
rent up "Remember the Maine , " I say forget
11 this , now that victory is perched upon our
anners , and remember the soldier who has
lade all this possible , and among the others ,
i the east and the west , let me beg of you ,
: member the boys who are now lying in the
enches before Manilanot knowing what the
lorrow has in store for them the First Ne-
raska volunteers. * * * '
