This tiict town was startled one day
last week by the tepott that someotlo
had rounded up a herd of widows and
brought tljein to town. It proved to
be a fact and strong men turned pale
and lied. The editor who boaids nt
the Donoher, hardly dated to go to his
meals during their stay and ho has
gone to Kansas to recuperate, and the
devil, when he had business in that
dii action, made a sneak up the alley
until he passed their stopping place.
Webb, the cigarmaker, andjay Moffct,
his helper, couldn't roll a cigar straight
for several days but they have tecovor
ed from the shock now. Al Thacher
suddenly remembered that he wauled
to visit a friend on the teservation and
could hardly wait long enough to have
the team hitched up. Thoy weie all
soldicis' widows and they came here
to homestead all the vacant land in
Chcny countv. Valentine Demociat.
Other cities may boast of their com
mercial superiority, but the fact io
mains that Omaha is today the onlv
city on the Missouii livci which is
dhcctly connected with New Yotk by a
double track railroad. The comple
tion of the Northwestern's new line
gives Omaha this distinction. It is
faomething of which the city may be
proud. Double hacks cost money.
They ate not built to ever' little town
in the country, but only to those cities
whose traffic is so gieat that the single
track cannot afford facilities cual to
the demand. Eventually it is be
lieved the Union Pacific and Hurling
ton will continue their double tracks
throughout the gieat west, thus plac
ing Omaha on the main line of the great
stream of tians-oceanic traffic. Omaha

The Minatate valley pi esents a chat in
iug scene at this season, with a face
of pretty w aving green, its groves of
attificial ttccs and the evcilasting hills
looming up on the south, forming a
majestic background. Coin, wheat,
oats, alfalfa and garden products give
a look of home life and contentment
that is giatifjing. Lately the valley
has been tteated to a splendid inin,
which gave new life to the products of
man, and made natuic smile mote se

As we expected the Minnesota re
publican platform is a fearful and
wonderful niece of carpentery. It en
dot ses the president foi his work to
secute teciptocily with Cuba, and then
endorses the Minnesota delegation for
standing solid against hint. Then it
voices the first demand of the year for
the lovision of the tariff to ctipple
the trusts. If Teddy campaigns in
Minnesota he w ill sutely get into trouble.
He had better come to Nebtaska where
the senators were turned down and the

The flood in the Red Willow was
worse than first repot ts published last
week. The loss to the Vivians will ex
ceed $500. Not a piece of their house
hold fumitute but was lost or ruined
beyond use. The old gentleman was
canicd a half mile down with the flood,
and the wondet is he was notdr owned.
He was skinned all over by sand and
the debris and was exposed to the ele
ments from 11 . in. till 3 in the morn
ing before found. He had seemed a
footing upon a sand bar. Emmons
Vivian succumbed to the excitement
and thought that his father was drown
ed, and fainted, remaining unconscious
for neatly two hours. A second flood
occulted Saturday night, taking off the
rear of the stables, turning over and
catrying away wagons, hay rakog, and
other machinery. Ctops throughout
the valley woic greatly damaged.
A year and six months ago the city
of Lincoln slatted out on a charter of
her own making without the consent of
anbody on earth, and in that charter
was provided a new method of taxation
for city put poses. The tesult was to
deciease the raihoad taxes soventy-fio
per cent, while the taxes of everybody
else was encreased fiom ten to Unity
per cent. Ecn the public service cor
pora tiotrs had their taxes increased with
the tost, and only the gas company
made a kick and it won its kick. The
supteme court in a general way sustain
ed tlto tax powers granted in the chai
ter, but it follows that the assessments
must be equitable ljetweou parties to
stand. Good lawyers say that the
charter can be amended to reach the
untaxed railroad property in Lincoln,
and wjually good lawyers say that it
cannot. Tha safo way is to socuro an

When the minister called on all who
would like to lead a new life, to rise
to their feet, the other night, three
men who have owed the editor trigh on

is a mighty good thing to have in a

Amen! to such a religion. If these
arc stirred deeply enough to cause them

For ten years tho democrats and pop
ulist of Nobiaska have been working
togother, but never as harmoniously as
today. In formor years tho action of
the two state conventions left many
sore spots, but this year every demo

with the ticket. It was a happy issue
out of what for a time appeared a
serious situation. With such a ticket,
and with all loyal democrats and popu
lists behind it, Nobiaska will be re
deemed in November by twenty thous
