MICKEY. - Back lo the chattel mortgage biz, Back to your cent per cent; ' For Nebraska folk for the man from Polk Ne'er an election meant. Go slap your mortgage on the crib, Make interest good and steep -To pay for the fun of your useless run For your boom has gone to sleep. Back where the mortgage doth foreclose, . And io per cent is squeezed; On election day you will find the way To sad defeat woll greased. Foreclose your mortgage on the well, And seize the old straw shed; John Baldwin's scheme was an idle dream And his plans knocked in the head. Off with sanctimonious pose, The bluff of the Pharisee; For your oily game has gone dead lame And your record marked " N. G." Back to th' vaults of the Bank of Polk, And weep not idle tears, For the man from Hall has got a call , To run this state two years. The editorial writer of the Lincoln Daily Star says I'm tho only one who has uttered a word derogatory to tho Star. Perhaps I'm the only one in the 'newspaper business who hasn't asked for an exchange. If you want honest men now's your chance, Just vote for Charles Q. DeFrance, For W. H. Thompson of Hall, Smith, Powers, Jim Brennan and all, And make the tax shirkers all dance. If Nebraska voters play into the hands of John N. Baldwin and his crowd of tailroad bosses by voting for Baldwin's man Mickey, wo may expect a heavy influx of gold brick artists. The election of Mickey would be notice to the confidence men that a majority of Nebraska's voters are " dead -easy." The superintendent of tho Nebraska City starch mills says the mills there may be opened again if corn prices get low enough to enable tho Nebraska City mills to compete with eastern starch mills. As all the starch mills arc in a trust the gentleman's remarks about "competition" stamp him as a genuine humorist. " Uncle Mose Kinkaid needn't be so touchy on the subject of age. Every body knows that hejs young in fact everybody knows that Uncle Mose is - just well entered upon his second childhood. The Box Butto county voter who be lieves that a tariff on barb wire, steel nails, lumber, farm machinery, drugs, coal and grain is a benefit to him is just the kind of a man to believe that a protective tariff will make wool grow on the back of a hydraulic rami " Yes I'm going to spend the rest of my day's in Europe," declared G. Otta Nuff. " What, going to desert the land of your birth for the effete monarchies of Europe?" I thought you were too good an American to do that," exclaimed E. Z. Thyngc. " It's because I am such an intense lover of America and things American that I'm going to spend the rest of my days in Europe. I want to use only American made goods, but naturally I want to go where I can get them the cheapest." Hi rickey dickey A mortgage trickey Once posed as a statesman of weight But the voters, bjj crickey, Said "Nit, Mr. Mickey, We see Mr. Baldwin paying the freight 1" In about two months and a half Dep uty Attorney General Norris Brown will quit trying to earn $3,800 a year while getting only $1,800 of it. Republican tariff logic is wild, weird and wonderful. It insists that a tariff on steel stimulates competition and makes steel cheaper, and at the same time declares that a tariff on wheat pre vents competition and brings the farmer better prices for his wheat. The man who votes to tax himself in the shape of a protective tariff for the benefit of the trusts exhibits about the same grade of financial judgment ex hibited by the little boy, " My mamma gives meanickle every time I take my medicine without holler in'." " What do you do with your money?" " Mamma puts it in a little iron bank for me." M What are you going to do with the money you save ?" "O, just as soon as the bank is full mamma takes the money and buys some more medicine." "WW -KL tftttn. - WW There havo been a number of amus ing episodes in the present campaign, but one of the greatest jokes of tho bunch was unwittingly played by a Lincoln newspaper of tho twilight variety. This newspaper recently de voted a column of editorial space to telling about the financial woes of Mexico, declaring them to bo due wholly to free silver. In the same issue of tho paper appeared a page ad vertisement offering Mexican lands as "valuable premiums" to those who se cured subscribers to the aforesaid pa per. Tho Daily Star shows extreme good sense and exhibits a political decency heretofore almighty scarce in Lincoln by a manifest inclination to treat Mr. Bryan with the consideration duo to a distinguished and exemplary citizen. Tho Star sccma to bo conducted by newspaper men who know how to differentiate between a difference ot opinion and vile abuse. He roamed the earth to find a home But not a place would suit Until ho-chanced to wend his way To glorious old Box Butte. "Hurrahl" he cried, "a land like this Great joy to my heart gives And surely luck will come to him Who in Alliance lives." And in Alliance settled he And straightway went to work; He took an interest in the town And never tried to shirk, Ho worked with might and main to give ' Alliance proper rank, And as the city grew he put Much money in the bank. A lesson for all citizens These humble rhymes will show. It is, " Just do your level best To make Alliance grow, Just put your shoulder to the wheel And never pause nor lag. 'Tis better far to whoop things up Than masticate the rag." A few years ago republican editors, orators and statesmen laughed at the absurdity of the populist proposition that the government accept state and county bonds as security for govern ment loans. The scheme was de nounced as unconstitutional, absurd and little short of treasonable.- But Secretary Shaw has announced a willingness to accept state and county bonds as security for government loans and the republican editors, orators and statesmen are declaring that it is the wisest financial move ever made by a secretary of the treasury. Republican logic recalls to mind the wonderful snake described by tho Kentuckian: It wriggled in and wriggled out And left the people all in doubt Whether the snake that made tho track Was going south or coming back. They had been talking of narrow escapes and some of the stories were corkers. Finally a heavy-set mau who had remained quiet all the time spoko up and said: I've lived in Nebraska for upwards of fifty years, and between Indians and blizzards and drouths I've had some almighty narrow escapes. But tho narrowest one I ever had was a couple of weeks ago." "Tell us about it," exclaimed the other members of the crowd in chorus. "All right. I was squirrel hunting a few weeks ago and saw three big fat squirrels run up a tall stump and drop into a hole in the top. I climbed the stump and dropped down, thinking I could get the squirrels and then climb out without any trouble. To my hor ror I discovered that I vas wedged tight into the hols and couldn't move an inch. I struggled and squirmed until I was exhausted and then resigned myself to my fate, knowing it was use less to call for help. I tell you a man face to face, with death thinks of an awful lot of mean things he has done. My thoughts flew fast and thick. All at once I happened to recall the rail road tax case in the supreme court, and that reminded me that I had voted for Frank Prout. Gentlemen, the recollec tion made me feel 60 d d small I crawled out of that hole without the least difficulty." During his four years of service as treasurer of Adams county, Dr. J. N. Lyman covered into the county treas ury as interest on county funds more' money than all his predecessors in the office had turned over, and more than all the republican state treasurers cov ered into the state treasurer. A vote for J, N. Lyman for state treasurer is a vote for honest administration of that most important office. I havo seen somo magnificent and imprcssivo sights in my brief carcor. I have stood within tho shadow of Pike's Peak and gazed with awo at the snow clad summit. I have watched tho waters pour over tho precipice at Ni agara and heard the sullen roar sound ing like tho trump of doom. Hut the most imprcssivo sight my eyes over be held was in the Coliseum at Omaha on Sunday, October 19th. It was the communion service of tho great conven tion of the Disciples of Christ. Twelvo thousand earnest Christian men and women Bat with bowed heads at tho Lord's table and partook of tho em blems telling of the broken body and shed blood of tho Man of Nazareth who gavo up his life that all men might havo life eternal. Tho stillness of tho gravo was over all. And in the silence of that hour one could almost sec tho awful scene on Calvary, tho cross, tho agonized figure of the Christ, tho wcepiug women, the careless soldiers and tho frienzied andbloodthirsty mob. To tho straining cars there seemed to como an echo of that cry wrung from tho depths of bitterest woe, "It is finished." And the picture and the echo would have been enough to make sorrowful tho stoutest heart had there not been a song of hope whose words wore, "I am the resurrection and the life; I16 that bclicvcth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live." And on every Christian heart in that vast audience faith took a new hold and golden hope flashed a bright light into the darkness of the tomb to show that its terrors were forever gone because of the great sacrifice of Jesus of Nazareth. Those who witnessed and were a part of that' solemn ceremony will never forget it, and every man and woman went forth from tho place better and stronger for having been there. There is a land of pure delight Across old Jordan's wave, Where politicians never como Their country for to save. fr Every Ncbraskan who is proud of tho fact that the University of Ne braska is one of the greatest state universities in the country should re member on election day that John H. Mickey referred to it as a " hotbed of atheism and the breeding ground of infidels," and advised Christian parents not to send their children there to be educated. Yet John H. Mickey knew that the chancellor of the University of Nebraska, Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews, is a Christian gentleman who insists upon training tho morals of his students while educating their minds. If Charley DeFrance is elected audi tor and he will be if the voters of Ne braska vote in their own interests there will be no juggling of the figures in favor of pet insurance companies and state contractors.

Sclmrs una MIsb Illack. We herewith reproduce The Kearney Daily Hub's account of tho marriage of our popular young townsman, II. K. Schars, to Miss Black of that city. They arrived in tho city Wednesday from their wedding trip and will occupy apartments jn Newberry building. Mr. Schars' largo cir cle of friends will bo glad to welcome his bride into their midst. The Herald joins with them in tendering congratulations and good wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Schars. The following is the Hub's account: Tho wedding of Miss Kathrine Mont gomery Black, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Black, to Mr. Herbert Kingsley Schars, son of Mr. and Mrs. P, F. H. Schars, took place at the home of the bride's parents 2020 Fourth avenue, Wed nesday evening, October 22, at 6,30 o'clock, tho Rev. George Allen Beechor officiating. The ceremony was witnessed only by relatives of the bride and groom and a few of their most intimate friends. Tho bride was gowned in a very pale pink silk 'crepe over white taffeta silk, trimmed with lace and pearls and carried a shower bouquet of Bride's roses. She wore the glfu of the groom, a pearl ring and a unique star pin of gold set with tiny pearls, four large shag pearls, and an amethyst. The groom wore full evening dress. During the congratulations following tho ceremony and again later in the evening Miss Finch played several selections on the piano. At eight o'clock a reception was given to about one hundred friends. Refreshments were served by six young women who had been closely associated with the bride previous to her marriage; Miss Decker, Miss Wait, Miss McGill, Miss Ray, Miss Mary Ray and Miss Udell. Mrs. J, L. Tout, Mrs. Arthur Scoutt and Mra. E. A. Meservey assisted in the parlor, In an adjoining room many gifts were displayed, evidences of the high esteem in which Mr, and Mrs. Schars are held by their friends. The house was decorated with cut flowers, palms and ferns. The dining room was especially beautiful, being filled with flowers and lighted by the subdued rays of many candles. Out of town guest were Mr, W. F, Black and Miss Anna Black of Central City, Mrs. A. Fred Cole of Omaha, and Mrs. Ellsworth Turney of Fairfield, Iowa. Attended by a host of friends who show ered white ribbons, rice, and good wishes impartially, Mr. and Mrs. Schars left for the west on the 10:20 U. P. On all sides have been heard regrets at the departure of the bride from Kearney, as she has been closely associated with Kearn6y young people. For two years she was a teacher in the public schools. As evidences of her popularity and the desire of her friends to "speed her on her way," she was tho recipient of many "showers. At Fairfied, Iowa, where previous to her wedding she was visiting her sister, Mrs. Turney, her friends, who correctly sur mised, although they did not know that she was soon to be married, gave her a "tin shower." October 15 she was given a "linen shower" by Miss Wait and Mrs. E, A. Meservey of this city at the home of the latter, On the 18 a "plate shower" was given by Mrs. J. L. Tout, the bride-to-be receiving many dainty pieces of china from the fourteen friends present. Anoth er social event was a whist party given Wednesday evening, October 15, by Mrs. Arthur Miller of 310 West Twenty-fifth street for her sisters, the future bride and Mrs, Turney. there being twenty-five pres ent. Also a supper given by tho bride to fourteen of her most intimate young wo men friends. Mr, Schars was formerly one of Kear ney's well known and popular young men, having made this city his home from boy hood. He occupied a position in the City National Bank and was deputy county clerk for four years. Mr. and Mrs. Schars will make their home at Alliance, Neb., where Mr. Schars has been connected with Newbury Imple ment and Hardware company during the three years since his much regretted de parture from Kearney George Darling tho I'urnlturo Denier.
