COLONEL MITCHELL , this is Colone
Smith , who boldly claims to be "run
ning the only true Pop paper in Westen
Nebraska. "
NEBRASKA Republicans will put 01
their fighting clothes to some purpose
this year , and will place the state when
it belongs in the Republican column
IT makes even his political compatri
ots smile to read such language as , "bla
tant demagogues and wind-bags whc
care for nothing but 'pie' , " in Samue
Randolph Smith's paper. The flawles :
nicety with which the language applie :
to the editor of that paper mskes th <
matter highly humorous
Ex-GovERNOR Ai/rGEU > , the Illinoii
high priest of Bryanism , is more out
spoken than his chief on the question o
paper money , for he says plainly thai
"both gold and silver will pass out of use
as money and be supplemented by a phil
osophic or rational circulating mediun :
and measure of value. " Mr. Bryan ha ;
never yet been committed to an expres
sion in favor of unlimited greenbacks ,
but it is not certain that he aud mnnj
other devotees of "Coin" Harvey do nol
hold similar views to Governor Altgeld ,
although they are not so impolitic as tc
as to make them public at this time.
The step from the position of the ex
treme Bryanites to that occupied by Mr.
Altgeld , namely , that of absolute fiat
money , is not a long or illogical one.
THE obviously
anti-imperialist propaganda
viously states that it will attempt to
catch the labor vote by showing that
with the occupation of the Philippines
the Chinese exclusion act would be evad
ed and this country would be flooded
with pauper labor. We could not , they
say , refuse admission to people from
those islands , and that being the case ,
they would be used as a gateway for the
entrance into America of all the Oriental
hordes to exclude which the Chinese ex
clusion law was enacted. There does
not seem to be any great similarity in
appearance between Filipinos and Chi
nese , but even granting there is , and
that it is impossible to police the islands
to keep out those desiring passage to the
United States , there are various other
methods by which undesirable immi
grants can be excluded from this coun
try. American statesmen , upon arriving
at bridges , have heretofore always de
vised some manner of crossing them , and
when this difficulty arises , if it ever does ,
it will be provided for easily and effectu
ally , unless Democrats should happen to
be in power.
The large and increasing circulation of
The Iowa Homestead in this county is
a matter for congratulation to the pub
lishers and to good farming , for , of all
tha papers of its class in the country , it
is easily the best and most helpful. Its
Special Farmers' Institute editions , issued -
. sued with the regular edition the first
week in each month , have been for years
the admiration of all practical farmers.
Written wholly by farmers , they are ful
of actual experience and smell of the
soil. We have been fortunate enough
this season to secure terms for Th <
Homestead and its Special Farmers' In
stitute editions , together with The Poul
try Farmer and The Fanners' Mulua
Insurance Journal , four of the most val
uable farm publications in the country
that enable us to offer the four in connection -
/ nection with our own paper for $1.25 for
the entire five , one year. This is em
phatically a good thing , aud no farmer
in this county should fail to take advant
age of the offer. For a large line ol
thoroughly practical farm reading noth
ing has ever been offered before that
equals it. A count } * paper , a farm paper ,
a poultry papei , a farm insurance paper
and the Special Farmers' Institute , all
for $ i 25. v Come in and order them.

HARD AND SOFT COAL on
BARNETT LUMBER CO.
BARTLEY.
A son came to gladden the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur Puckett , Sunday.
Miss Nellie Stephens of Box Elder is visit ,
ing her sister , Mrs. H. P. Hodgkin , this week ,
W. S. Hamilton is shy a kit of tools which
he left in the new church building. Some
expansionist annexed them , Thursday nighl
of last week.
The Epworth League has purchased a new
organ for the church , and in other ways the
young people have evinced their willingness
to further the work of providing an attractive
place of worship.
And now comes the intimation that if Sec
tion Foreman Kern don't refrain from mixing
matters with his crew , Roadmaster Rogers
will be called to account. That official will
doubtless note the ultimatum with profound
interest.
The Methodist brethren expect to be able
to hold services in the basement of their
handsome new building soon. This room
will make an ideal place for Sunday-school ,
League and mid-week meetings when the
structure is completed.
Joe McKinzie is again in evidence in this
vicinity , having lately received an honorable
discharge from the county bastile on less than
half pay. Joe will no doubt be a trifle per
turbed to know where his meals are coming
from , now that his wife declines to longer
provide for him.
E. J. Merchant has returned to Missouri ,
where he expects to engage in business for
himself. "Tim" has long been a member of
the band here and his loss will be felt in that
organization as well as in younger social cir
cles , where he has been very popular. Ever
tlonest and companionable , he has the best
wishes of all for his future prosperity.

STRANGE DREAMS.
Zack ( at the breakfast table ) "Charlie , my
joy , you are not going to wade around in the
snow today after rabbits ; you are not feeling
well. Why are you looking so thoughtful ? '
Charlie "I'm all right , pa , but I had a strange
dream , this morning. " Z. "Indeed ! What
was it ? " C. "I dreamed , papa , that I died
and went to heaven , and when St. Peter met
me at the gate , instead of showing me the
way to the golden street , as I expected , he
ook me out into a large field , and in the mid
dle of the field there was a long ladder readi
ng up into the sky , out of sight. And he told
me that heaven was at the top , and that to
get there I must take the big piece of chalk
ic gave me and climb the ladder , writing on
each rung some sin I had committed. " Z.
laying down his newspaper ) "And did you
inally reach heaven , my son ? " C. "No ,
papa , for just as I was trying to think of some-
hing to write on the second rung , I looked up
nto the sky and saw you and Ed. Curlee com-
ng down. " Z. "And what were we coming
down for , Charlie ? " C. "That's what I asked
you , and you said you were going for more
chalk. " ( Conversation ends in chaos. )

This neighborhood was saddened by the
eath of Mrs. Charles Hammil , better known
> us all as Mina Quigley. The funeral at
Ihristain church was a large one and the
: ars of the old neighbors and schoolmates of
ic unfortunate young woman blended with
lose of the parents. Why did we say un-
> rtunate ? Mina was a Christian and not
fraid to take the long journey. It is the par-
its and young husband who are unfortunate
i loosing this young life. Mr. Badcon
reached a very impressive sermon from the
