There is still considerable weeping
and gnashing of teeth among the towns
east of us over the proposed normal
school, and the town of Kearney and
tne board tliat did the locating are
targets for many disconsolate souls.
"The men whom we most delight to
honor in all the land are those who in
the iron years from 'Gi to '65 bore on
their shoulders the burden of saving
the Union." President Roosevelt at
Syracuse 011 Labor Day; after saying
which, the president proceeds to pro
mote General Leonard Wood over the
heads of 494 civil war veterans,
People who applaud tunes at a clas
sical concert may now take courage
says the Denver News. According to
Bandmaster Sousa, ragtime is an es
tablished feature in American music
and has come to stay. "Of course I
10
05 ; don't mean to compare them musically
but ragtime lias become as iirmly es
tablished ns the others anil can no
longer be classed as a craze in music.
Nearly everybody likes ragtime. King
Edward VII liked it so well that he
asked us to play more of it, and we
gave him 'Smoky Moke' and 'Georgia
Campmeeting.' Emperor William and
the czar were also converted to rag
time. It is just as popular everywhere
as it ever was, and I see no reason
why it should not remain in favor as
long as music is played."
Roosevelt Tackles the Divorce
Problem.
A special , from Washington to the
Denver News says: "Report has it that
one of the features of the forthcoming
message of President Roosevelt to con
gross vjll be the subject of divorco.
The president, it is said, will recom
mend that congress piovido moans for
making an exhaustive inquiry into the
divorce problem. A gentleman who
stands high as an educator and sociol
ogist has recently held a long confer
ence with the president upon the sub
ject of divorce. This gentleman, who
would not permit his name to be used,
has been in Washington within a few
days, and to your correspondent he
gave an outline of the president's views
upon divorce. The president takes
absolutely np stock in the popular idea
that when a question of divorce arises
it is the concern of two individuals
only. He believes that individual well
being is not a consideration in so broad
a question. It is a question with him
as to how far the disintegration and re
construction of families is consistent
with the health and growth of the social
body. This gentleman also says the
forthcoming message will deal with
other subjects which; have not hereto
fore beon dealt with in presidential
messages, and they will be as much of
a surprise as the president's prommcia
mento on race suicide."
Of Interest to Organized Labor.
The Lincoln News, a staunch Republican
newspaper, has the following to say of the
judicial situation in this district. It is of
special interest to those who favor organ
ized labor.
There are things doing away up in
northwest Nebraska in the Fitteenth
judicial district. This is the largest
district in the state and includes ten
counties. It has two district judges.
One of the republican nominees is Al
len G. Fisher of Chndron. His nomi
nation recalls vividly memories of the
protracted struggle which finally ended
in the election of the Hon. Monroe L.
Hay ward as United States senator. It
will be remembered that in that contest
Mr. Fisher was a member of the house
of representatives and was one of the
most determined and outspoken of D. E.
Thompson's supporters. The strange
thing it was that the republicans of
Mr. Fisher's district almost to a man
bitterly opposed Mr. Thompson. They
sent delegations to see Fisher. They
circulated petitions requesting him to
support Hay ward; they wrote letters
to Mr. Fisher but he paid no attention
to any of these things, but died in the
ditch with Thompson. Another factor
in the fight was organized labor. It
will be well remembered that all the
labor organizations of the state bitterly
opposed the election of Mr. Thompson.
He was charged by the labor organiza
tions with being the man who destroyed
organized labor on the Burlington rail
road and who stood for the scab and
the black list. In Mr. Fisher's district
there were large numbers of railway em
ployes. This was particularly true at
Chadron and Alliance. These men ap
pealed to Fisher to desert Thompson,
but Fisher stuck to Thompson to the
end. The trainmen and engineers'
national organization appealed to their
members to help defeat Thompson and
still Fisher stood by Thompson.
To the Republicans of the district it
seems that some mysterious hand must
be behind this combination. It is now
hinted and even asserted that the same
hidden hand secured Mr. Fisher's nom
ination and for the purpose of still fur
ther aiding D. E. Thompson. It is as
serted quite positively by many that
Thompson is a candidate for United
States seuator to succeed Senator Diet
rich next year, and, that Mr. l'isiiur
wants to be electod judge so as to in
crease his power and influence in this
vast territory and thereby be the bet
ter able to control any republicans that
may be elected to the legislature from
this, district in the interest of Mr.
Thompson. These things are being
seriously discussed by the mont influ
ential men in the republican party and
just what effect the)' will have on Mr.
Fisher's candidacy it is difficult to fore
tell. Fisher is a good mixer and a
pushing fellow and is making an active
canvass. He claims he has a good
chance to be elected. He realizes that
organized labor in the district will be
against him, but he thinks he can make
up for this in other directions and land
under the wire a winner. When the
senatorial contest was over, Mr. Thomp
son presented Mr. Fisher with a solid
gold ring, bearing thereon the rising
sun and also a fine gold watch with the
initals "D. E. T." Mr. Fisher prob
ably wears these mementos of the great
contest and laughingly remarks that
while they may have been temporarily
eclipsed, that their "sun will rise"
again.
Hpn. George D. Meiklejohn, former
assistant secretary of war, and a party
of capitalists were Monday purchas
ing from the Union Pacific railway
large tracts of land on the divide near
Sidney. This syndicate proposes to
bring 500 families of Danes to settle
on these lands and engage extensively
in dairying, the cream to be sent to
Omaha and Denver. This land lies
twelve miles north, contiguous to the
Burlington and Union Pacific railroads
and is considered the finest grazing
land in Nebraska. The Danish Emi
gration society of Minnesota will fur
nish these emigrants with ten cows
each to start and enough money to
erect houses, purchase farming imple
ments and necessaries of life for one
year, the money to be paid back in
small installments at very low rate of
interest.
According to the Schuyle'r Free Lance
the railroad companies have decided that
after January 1 they will not issue return
passes to shippers who accompany stock
to the market. It is given as an excuse for
the act that it is done in compliance with
the Elkins act. That alleged "compliance"
is only a blind as they would pay no at
tention to the Elkins act if they desired to
do otherwise. The railroad companies
will force stock shippers to pay their re
turn fare, but every one-horse lawyer and
cheap-screw politician in the country is
provided with annual passes and all the
provisions of the Elkins law would not
stop the practice. The pass to the stock
shipper is no more than right and ought to
be ssued, but the other should be cut out
as it is tbejrcot of all corporation evil.

Protect Your Home!
Everybody fears fire and every effort
should be made to prevent them starting,
even more than to extinguish them after
they have started. As long as our homes
are built of lumber the is a certain amount
of danger from fire, both from within and
without. Therefore, any chemical prepa
ration that "render lumber fire-proof is a
thing very much to be desired.
Such a preparation is now on the mar
ket and the public is invited to test its
merits. It is called Plutanica. It ren
ders all wood work fire-proof and at the
the same time acts on the pores of the wood
in such a manner as to preserve it indefi
nitely. It costs very little and is easily
applied to any wood work.
B. V. Reeves has the agency for Plu
tanica in this district. See him and have
a practical demonstration of the merits of
this preraration and get his figures for
applying it to your home.
