Eleven Counties Yet to Be Heard from

Lincoln Returns from eleven coun

secretary of stato can complete tho
tabulation of tho official returns from
tho primary election held September 1.
Most people, except those personally
Interested, tnko much interest in tho
matter so far as the large majority of
tho state olflces nro concerned. Tho
result has beon known for many days
except in tho case of candidates for
tho nomination for stato auditor
Eighty counties reported glvo Barton
9,930, and Alden 10.C08. Among tho
missing counties Is Douglas which
gavo Barton a plurality of about 1,100.
Barton's nomination by about 250 Is
considered assured. The counties mlES-
ing from tho official returns nro
Brown, Butler, Deuel, Douglas, Hayos,
Holt, Polk, Rock, Thayer and Wash
Ington.
Unless the figures are not deceptive,
W. B. Price of Lincoln, tho democratic
nominee for stato auditor, Is also no-ni
inated by 250 or more. Mr. Price is
,)robably ns much surprised as any
ono over tho result of tho primaries.

It Is shown by tho official returns
that tho two constitutional amend
ments submitted for adoption by polit
ical parties to bo placed on tho ballot
this fall as party measures havo been
adopted by nil political parties, repub
lican, democrat, populist and even so
cialists. The returns show somo oppo
sition, however, among- the democratic
ranks to the amendment Increasing
tho number of supremo Judges,' In
creasing their snlary and Increasing
the salary or judges or tho district
courts and providing for the appoint
ment of four supremo judges by tho
governor. This opposition Is shown In
Vnlloy county, whoro tho democrats
defoated this amendment, nnd In Web
ster, Kearney nnd Hnrlnn, where tho
populists defeated tho amondment re-
lntlng to tho Judiciary. Tho amend
ment for tho Investment of stato

liquor alone.
Your recovery will depend largely
on temperament. Tho cure must bo
enrncd and It will require an extended
period of tlmo to do this. There Is
small chanco for you if you aro n
molancholy, dlscontended, fault-finding
person. Intelligent, porslstont
nnd painstaking action Is required, In
which a cheerful, contended demeanor
must bo maintained. There will al
ways bo much to encourage tho faith
ful and the patient ones, nnd an
equable temperament and fine conduct
will llnd ultimate and lnrgo reward.

a minister or tho gospel, now ho calls
hlmsoU a minister or the gospel or

To quoto from a current magazine:
"That It Is stupid to bo sick is a now
idea, because we havo always believed
that most of our illnesses aro olthor
foreordained or accidents. Now wo
nro rapidly learning that our illnesses
nre largely or our making; or our own
carelessness; or our own stupidity !n
rnct." Then let us no longer bo care
less nor stupid, lest nature exact her
tribute from us In punishment moted
out to us for leaving her simple ways.
