Tues day Sept 3rd 1907 I have had 7 years experience as an assessor and deputy T A Enjdlsey Red Willow Precinct Temporarily in Valley Grange Jnne 6th 1907 UGGS CHERRY COUGH SYRUP Cures BRONCHITIS T J The Record Is Different Tho Imperial Republican in writing up tho record of Robert C Orr as dist rict judge of this district states One of the most noticeable features of his regimo as judge is the very few cases de cided by him which havo been appealed to higher courts and the very few cases that have been reversed Wo under stand the record to be otherwise and that a largo percent of tho cases that havo been tried before him that are of sufficient importance go to tho Bupreme court Of those acted upon up to date 39 cases in total one was modified by the supromo court twenty eight have been reversed and only ten affirmed Rather noticeable feature And then again the effort to make it appear that Judge Orr is the peoples candidate seems to be without adeqato foundation It is well known that the judgo was tho local Hayes county at torney for the Burlington when appoint ed to succeed Judge Norris And that during all tho time he has been on the bench from date of appointment to January 1907 ho has accepted and used free transportation from the railway company The fact that he was once a Burlington attorney is not a discredit able item but that he used free trans portation after his appointment and after bis election and until the laws of the state prohibited the same does not entitle him to be regarded as the peo ples candidate or that tho railroad company has anything to fear from him on the bench Then the further fact that C A Ready of Hayes county and J F Fults of Furnas county another Burlington attorney are most active in his behalf indicate that ho is at any rate quite satisfactory to the railroad people The Cause of Snoring Tk3 is not for you because yon never snore No one ever does snore himself It is always the other fellow But you can read this and then tell that guilty other fellow how to break himself of his bad habit for snoring is merely a bad habit and as such can be oVercome It is caused prl marlly by Improper breathing that Is breathing through the mouth instead of through the nostrils so first of all care should be taken during waking hours to breathe correctly The habil once formed of keeping the mouth as firmly closed as possible ho will be less likely to sleep with it open TheD Bee that your troublesome snorer has a proper pillow He should sleep with his head as flat as possible for if his head is pushed forward and the neca bent the tongue drops back agalnsl the soft palate and forms an obstruc tion which makes all the unmusical sounds we hear when the air is forced past it St James Gazette Tho Last Match Saved Them The Bhip had lain becalmed Inatrop Ical sea for three days Not a breath of air stirred the mirrorlike surface ol the sea or the limp sails that hung from the yards like drapery carved in Btone The captain resolved to wall no longer He piped up all hands on deck and requested the passengers to also come forward I must ask all of you he said to give me every match that you have Wonderingly the passengers and crew obeyed The captain carefully arranged the matches in his hands as each man handed him his store until all had been collected Then he threw them all overboard but one drew a clgai from his pocket and striking the soli tary match on the mainmast endeav ored to light it In an instant a furi ous gale swept over the deck extin guished the match and filled the sails and the good ship Mary Ann sped through the waves on her course Pearsons Weekly The Cods Bill of Fare An Interesting exhibit in the South Kensington museum London illus trates the omnivorous nature of the cods diet Among the fish falling n prey to Its voracious maws we note the young of the herring dab whiting and sand eel Shrimps and young lob sters also form an important item In the cods menu The strangest part ol the cods diet perhaps is the sea mouse whose thick covering of bristles might be thought to render it unwelcome to any stomach Large whelks and shells of whelks with their indwelling hermit crabs are also largely devoured From Its partiality to mollusks in fact the cod may become an assistant to the shell collector Woodward in his Man ual of the Mollusca remarks that some good northern seashells have been rescued unbroken from the stom ach of the cod London Globe Growing Flowers In Winter A long run of dark days in winter Is bad for the florists It matters little how cold the weather is provided there is sunshine for the heat can al ways be maintained to the proper point nnd with sunshine flowers will bloom just as freely when the ther mometer shows an outdoor tempera ture of zero as at the freezing point though of course more money must be spent for coal But when day after day for weeks at a time clouds over hang the sky nothing will grow as it should The carnation buds develop slowly until they are half open and wait for sunshine and if it does not come in four or Ave days the blooms decay So also it is with callas and roses They will open halfway then without sunlight will quickly spoil St Louis Globe Democrat About the thinnest thing in the world is the film of a soap bubble It would take about 50000000 of them to meas ure one inch MOVEMENT Oh THE PEOPLE Loiien Ludwick

Geographical society gives this little story of a Greek saint Our good St Blazios gave us the phrase drunk as Blazes for this saint was pleasantly done to death by having his flesh torn off by wool

Thing the Scotsman Did Not Dare to Buy In Bulk The chlrwoman of tho board of gov ernors of a New York womans club was discussing the question of the clubs liquor license It Is rather a matter of indifference to us she said whether we get a li cense or not Women you know are not given to drinking They nre too careful of their appearance They de sire to remain Bllm and fresh and wine as you know tends to make us coarse and sale and fat So if we had a license I think wc should sell little It would not be with us as with a farmer I once met in Scotland Traveling in tho Scottish highlands one summer I stopped at a farmhouse for a cup of milk and the view from the door was so lovely that I said to the farmer Ah what a superb place to live in Ou aye he answered in conven tional Scotch its a richt but hoo wad ye like maam to hae to walk fufteen mile Ilka time ye wanted a bit glass o whusky Oh well said I why dont you get a demijohn of whisky and keep it in tho house ne shook his head sadly Whusky he said wont keep New York Tribune ULTIMATE FATE OF FISH They Never Die a Natural Death Says an Observant Fisherman Fish never die a natural death said an old fisherman who has ob served as he fished If they did bodies of dead fish would be floating on the surface of the water about all the while because such bodies If un molested would have to float I mean of course fish in nature never die a natural death not fish in captivity And perhaps it should not be called natural death that fish in captivity die Their environment in duces mortality that fish in their na tive habitat would escape and these causes might be properly classed as among the accidents that carry the captive fish off If fish in their native element were never molested I believe they would never die If they had sufficient food which would be impossible if they no longer preyed on one another there would be no reason for their dying It was to prevent such uninterrupted tenure of life that all fish were made fiercely predatory if not remorselessly cannibalistic as many kinds are A fishs life is a constantly stren uous one and one entirely selfish A fish lives only to eat and to avoid be ing eaten New York Sun A Literary Month April has been a generous month in regard to the gift of writers of the first rank To begin with there are Shakespeare Wordsworth Swinburne among the poets and Fielding Hans Andersen Charlotte Bronte Hobbes Gibbon Kant Froude and Zola are among the number of other notable April born On the other hand the month of showers proved fatal to Shakespeare Wordsworth both on April 23 Goldsmith Otway Rossetti Matthew Arnold Byron Chaucer Tas so Racine to name only the principal among the poets who have passed away In April while among other writers that April has taken away have been Bacon La Fontaine Humboldt Darwin Franklin De Foe and Emer son Dundee Advertiser Overshot the Mark McClusky was the manager of a large warehouse in Glasgow and he was

think Ill no gang awa but jlst stop whaur I am He is still In Glasgow Glasgow Times Sick Yachts There is a form of sickness among boats declares Forest and Stream that resembles hereditary diseases In that they are handed down through suc ceeding years as a result of mere cus tom The cause of this form of ail ment nine times out of ten is some artificial limitations called racing rules to suit
