fs The JMeCook Tribun By F M Kinvmell Largest Circulation in Med Wil low County Subscription QO per Year in Advance That one Republican newspaper man in the Fifth district oppos ing Congressman Norris must feel lonesome A 500000000 English holding company for the American beef trust is the latest rumor from meat combine headquarters Armour of Chicago is said to be at the head of this newest combination to control the worlds meat business Few Nebraskans can talk more entertainingly and pointedly on the pass in Nebraska politics than our old friend J H Ager of Lincoln And he talks least at all for publication The United States still retains the doubtful fame of being one of only two great countries without a postal savings system Pros pects seem brighter now however than at any time during a quar ter of a century of agitation Wilsey Republican nominee for state senator in the 29th dis trict is unhesitatingly and pronouncedly in favor of Norris Brown and thus in line with popular sentiment in his district Vote for Wilsey If you really propose to stand by Theodore Roosevelt you will vote for the Republican candidates for congress It is the only prac tical way of showing your practical regard for the president Fre mont Tribune Out in the 67th representative district not a little proper interest attaches to Col Hills preference for United States senator The Tribune has not heard of it if he has expressed himself on that quite vital matter to Southwestern Nebraska voters When the opponents of Congressman Norris must fly for an ar gument against his re election to disappointed applicants for post mastership it is certainly an indication of a mighty good record of four years of service by Mr Norris Grand Island Independent The utmost strenuosity of the resistance being made by certain of the great trusts and corporations against the laws enacted to regu late and control them but proves the extreme urgency and absolute necessity for such enactments and determined enforcement of their provisions Ultimate failure to control means final government ownership or indeterminable worse A railroad sawbones of Lincoln diagnoses the evident disinclina tion of the American people to continue the always reprehensible practice of electing as starte or national lawmakers corporation law yers trust directors etc as an evidence of epidemic hysteria Nay my learned Esculapian it is a reassuring symptom of possi ble recovery from inexcusable assininity And piay the good Lord prosper the symptom Norris Brown stock is not on a falling market If the Republi can voters of Nebraska do their duty at the polls in November and secure the good working majority in the legislature to which the party is entitled there is no doubt but that Norris Brown will read his title clear to the United States senatorship Nebraska Repub licans must see to it that the legislative tickets in the several coun ties and districts are successful despite corporation knockers Let no thinking free Republican voters be cajoled into voting asrainst George Sheldon and for Shallenberger for governor of Ne braska Sheldon is making a manly open and square fight for the people and the Republican people should favor a square deal by voting for him to a man Nominated by corporate influence Shallen berger has no claims on any Republican D emocrat or Populist who seeks and believes in government by and for the people Vote for Sheldon for governor Just now our friends the enemy seem to be more than busy and happy telling about the accomplishments of their former congress men and are parading the marvelous doings of McKeighan Shal lenberger and Sutherland when they misrepresented the Big Fifth district and attempting to make it appear that Congressman Nor ris has been successful in only a small measure in comparison with the esteemed gentlemen whom he succeeded Well let us com pare the records of these busy doers with that of George W Norris And we will be liberal and generous we will put Mr Nor ris record of doing things up against the whole bunch McKeighan served 4 years Shallenbarger 2 years Sutherland 4 years Con gressman Norris has but 3 y2 years of service in the lower house to his credit and yet the record shows that he has secured the passage of more t bills than his Democratic Populistic predecessors And this record does not include the public building bills quite all of which he had an active and leading part in getting through Now this looks to The Tribune like going some And best of all Con gressman Norris is by experience now better equipped and informed in ever respect to give the people of the Fifth district of Nebraska better service in the future Knowing how is much of the battle He has learned how It is the part of wisdom and prudence to return him to congress and by an increased plurality His rec ord for doing and doing right is all right ODD COURTS MARTIAL Solemn Korccs Thnt Have Been En acted In the Britiuli Navy It is a rule In the British navy thai when a ship is cast away or otherwise lost a court martial must sit in ordei to apportion the blame Sometime these courts really try and condemn those that are held to be responsible At other times their duties are from he very nature of the catastrophe more or less nominal Thus when the Serpent was lost oil the Spanish coast a court martial as sembled and solemnly tried three or dinary bluejackets the sole survivors although they of course had no more to do with the error in navigation which led up to the catastrophe than the man in the moon A similar solemn farce was enacted after the loss of the Captain in the bay of Biscay when 4S3 officers and men lost their lives In this case a gunner named James Hay one of tho eighteen who escaped from the wreck was the nominal culprit The ver dict was that the loss of the ship was due to Instability and faulty construc tion This really amounted to a vote of censure on Mr Cowper Coles tho designer but as he went down with the ungainly monster he had created he was beyond the reach of either blame or praise On another occasion a small middy of thirteen years of age was put upon his trial and once it is said a court martial assembled on a cat which chanced to be the sole living thing found aboard a derelict frigate LIVING SECOND HAND It Is Quite a Common Thins In Nev York City Half the people of New York liva second hand that is they dress sec ond hand furnish their houses second hand and wear secondhand jewelry There are stunning looking young women who wear nothing but Parirf gowns all the year round They can not afford to go to Paris for such cloth ing and they wont have anything that isnt good style They dress almost entirely out of the secondhand stores on Sixth and Seventh avenues where anything from a hat to a pair of silk stockings is offered for sale at a third its original value They would rather appear a trifle shabby and very effec tive than brand new and shoppy One woman noted for her good style and richness of apparel buys all her frocks at a secondhand establish ment and then has them dyed black to make them look new A little bride who hates that new look which the average bridal suit possesses fitted out her entire apartment through adver tisements of sales of secondhand fur niture by private parties Everything from her sideboard to her rugs looks like a family heirloom There are many articles published in the papers and magazines on How to Live Well on Nothing a Year but the New Yorker could write a whole volume on How to Live Swell on Nothing a Year if he chose to New York Press A Queer Fact About Vision In the eye itself certain things may go on which give us wrong sensations which although not truly illusions are very much like them Thus when we suddenly strike our heads or faces against something in the dark we see stars or bright sparks which we know are not real lights though they are quite as bright and sparkling as if they were When we close one eye and look straight ahead at some word or let ter in the middle of this page for ex ample we seem to see not only the thing we are looking at but every thing else immediately about it and for a long way on each side But the truth is there is a large round spot somewhere near the point at which we are looking in which we see noth ing Curiously enough the existence of this blind spot was not discovered by accident and nobody every sus pected it until Mariotte reasoned from the construction of the eyeball that it must exist and proceeded to find it Man Against Horse A man Shrubb has run ten miles in 50 minutes 40 seconds another man Hutcheus has run 300 yards in 30 sec onds another man George has run a mile in 4 minutes 12 seconds Of all running records this last appears most unapproachable and it seems likely to stand for a very long time Men like Shrubb Bacon and Deerfoot who have covered very close on twelve miles in the hour could certainly hold their own with most carriage horses oyer a good road If the gait chosen were walking instead of running the quadruped would be badly worsted Grand Magazine Xot Quite it Tempest A young gentleman with an unmu sical voice insisted upon singing at a social gathering What does he call that inquired a disgusted guest The Tempest I think answered another Dont be alarmed said an old sea captain present Thats no tempest It is only a squall and will soon be over Sarcasm Greene Whom are your children said to take after Mr Enpeck Enpeck with a mental reservation The youn ger with a sweet smile and angelic temper takes after his mother The elder that cross eyed young viper takes after me Im informed London Fun A Brick Knicker Which side of the house does the baby resemble Bocker The

almost to a genius for bestowing the delicate attentions which cost little except the exercise of a modicum of tact and thoughtful ness but which carry joy to every true womans heart Hj not only thinks to take home to her often in the absence of the means to make a larger offering a ten cent bunch of violets pinks or roses from the llower market or the itinerant flower venders barrow on his route but he presents them gallnutly with the compliment and the caress the occasion calls for and this makes them confer a pleasure out of all proportion to their intrinsic worth He remembers her birthday or fete day with a potted plant a bit of game a box of bonbons a cake from the pas try cooks or a bottle of good wine He is marvelously fertile in expedients for making the time pass quickly and agreeably for her He has a thousand amusing and successful devices for helping her to renew her youth He projects unique and joyous Sunday and holiday excursions He improvises dainty little banquets ne is a past master especially in the art of conjur ing up amiable mysteries and prepar ing charming little surprises And in all these trivial enterprises he vindi cates the old French theory that true courtesy consists in taking a certain amount of pains to so order our words and our manners that others be con tent with us and with themselves The American husband is particular ly solicitous to do the proper thing the French husband to dj the agree able thing Independent WATER IN TURKEY Must Meet Many Conditions to Be a Perfect Beverage Turks are extremely particular writes a traveler in regard to the quality of the water they drink and are willing to be at much trouble and expense to obtain water of the kind they prefer To be a perfect beverage water must issue from a rock fall from a height be of medium temperature flow rapidly and copiously taste sweet spring in higli and lonely ground and run from south to north or from east to west The excellence of any water is accordingly determined by the num ber of these conditions it fulfills It is remarkable how much pleasure Turks find in visiting a famous spring in the country to spend the whole day beside it under the shade of trees doing little else than drink carafe after carafe of the water as the elixir of life Resorts of this description abound on the shores and in the valleys of the upper Bos porus under such names as the Water of Life the Silver Water the Water Under the Chestnut Tree the Water Beside the Hazels The spectacle of the great gatherings there on imuays arrayed in bridal colors seated tier above tier on the terraced platforms built against the green slope of the hill the women above the men be low all in the deep shade of the branches meeting overhead forms a picture beyond a painters power to re produce Chicago News Hot Drinks For Tliirst It is a mistake to suppose that cold drinks are necessary to relieve thirst Very cold drinks as a rule increase the feverish condition of the mouth and stomach and so create thirst Ex perience shows it to be a fact that hot drinks relieve the thirst and cool off the body when it is in an abnormally heated condition better than ice cold drinks It is far better and safer to avoid the use of drinks below GO de grees In fact a higher temperature is to be preferred and those who are much troubled with thirst will do well to try the advantages to be derived from hot drinks instead of cold fluids to which they have been accustomed Hot drinks also have the advantage of aiding digestion instead ef causing debility of the stomach and bowels The Harshness of Orators American political orators are often charged with being unduly harsh to the other side The following extract from a speech of the late Earl of Shaftesbury published in his memoirs shows that it our stump speakers ex hibit harshness they come honestly by it The noble earl thus described and prophesied When Gladstone runs down a steep place his immense ma jority like tho pigs in Scripture but hoping for a better issue will go with him roaring in grunts of exultation Boston Transcript ZVoalis Advantage Mrs Noah was complaining that her clothes looked as if they had
