TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1910,
A special election will be called in
4Cheyenno county nt mi curly date to
vote on ti proposition to issue $70,000
li'ohtls for a now court houuo. Similar
action will be taken in Dawson county,
tlio sum in tho latter county to bo
$100,000. Lincoln county can bettor
afford to erect a new court houso than
cither Dawson or Cheyenne county,
and tho need for Bitch n now building
is perhaps us grout, yet an apparently
largo majority of tliu Lincoln county
tax payors are opposed to a now build
ing. Democratic papers say thut owing to
tho wise management of statu affairs
under a democratic administration the
state is out oftlcljt and has $100,000 in
tho treasury. These democratic pupors
should bo honest and givo tho credit
whoro It bolongs, Tho special levy
suggested by Governor Sheldon, a re
publican, and pussed by a republican
legislature, wiped out tho state debt,
und tho increased assessment of prop
erty in tho state created tho surplus.
The' democrats havo not cut down ex
panses; the peopiohavo paid more taxes,
that's all.
w. J. Bryan has come out Uatfooled
for county option in Nebraska. He
takes a step in ndvunco of this, and
declares democracy must divorce itself
from tho liquor interests, becnuse un
alliance with tho boIooii can generally
bo regarded as an alliance with vice.
Tlio saloon, ho says, is constuntly used
f to debauch politics and to prevent tho
Intelligent v consideration of public
quoalions. The HquorJInterests mado
J themselves odious at the last session
' of tho Nebraska legislature by pro
' venting tho submission of the initiative
and referendum. Mr, Bryan declares
tho right of tho government to regulate
the said of liquor cannot bo denied, and
tho right to make tho county tho unit
of regulation is just us plain, Tho
people havo a voico In determining tho
8y3tcm to be employed vfor regulating

The Dominating White Race.
If there is anybody who bolioves that
whlto people should bo dominated by a
colored race u visit to "The Clansman"
will convince him of tho utter absur
dity of )the Idea. This famous play
which will bo Been in this city nt tho
Keith theatre next Thursday evening,
presents a picture of South Carolina
after tho civil war when tho stnto was
under negro rule. In a moat intense
and vivid manner it describes tho shak
ing off of this tcrriblo yoke by tho
dashing, chivalrous members of tho
noted Ku Klux Klan, who rodo at night
in dofenso of their homes and tho
homes and tho stute. Tho Japaneso
menace in Canada anil the west Is re
garded by many ns threatening in its
tihnractoristics as the negro peril in the
south in 18G0. "Tho Clansman" Is re
ported to havo conclusively proved tho
white rnco Bhould bo tho only domina
ting element in tho civilized western
hemisphere and that ita provogative3
must not bo usurped by any othor raco,

Manager Howe Expresses Satisfaction
The Grand Island Independent says:
E C Howo, general manager, and
W. K. Winterhaltor, consulting agri
culturist, of the American Beet Sugar
Company, were In town a day or two
ago looking over agricultural matters
with tho local staff of the sugar fac
tory. Mr. Howo expressed himself as
greatly pleased with tho prospects for
a bigger and bettor season this year
than any hud for several years. Tho
now contract offered this year, under
which tho factory is to pay $5 per ton
straight, regardless of sugar test, is
proving much more popular than tho
old contract with scale prices, and
there is now contracted more than
four times as largo nn acreage as was
contracted at this date last year.
Changes were made in a number of
minor points in connection with the
company's dealings with tho farmers,
4iU of which will go a long way toward
ll removing every possible chance ofdis-
natisfnction. Tho most Important of
these were the decision to raise the
price from 20c to COc per ton to be
paid for siloing beets; tho mnnnor In
which the tare is to be taken; and
"tho method of ordoring in nnd receiv
ing beets. Arrangements have also
been mado early in tho senson, ahead
if tho usual demand for laborers, for
u much larger and more efficient sup
ply of field laborers, who will contract
with tho farmers for tho hand work.
Tho prospects are such as to war
rant the management in going ahead
and making the necessary repairs and
improvements to put the factory In
jjood flhnpo to make a long nnd heavy
-run next fall.

Positions in Census Bureau.
Because of the small number of
applications for positions on the
additional temporary office force of the
Census Bureau at Washington, D. C,
it has been found necessary to hold an
other examination on March 5th. 1910.
Applicants who failed to pass the first
examination mny bo examined again
in this examination. The state of Ne
braska, it is estimated, should have
about forty-two appointments, while
only twenty-three took the examination
given on Oct. 23, 1909. This examina
tion relates exclusively o tho office
force at Washington, D. C, and has
nothing to do with the appointment of
supervisors, special agents or enume
rators, there being no further examina
tions for positions of that character in
contemplation. Application blanks may
be obtained by addressing the civil
service commission, Washington, D.
C, or tho Secretary of tho Board of
Examiners nt Saint Paul, Minn. For
other information apply at local post-office.

Mrs. G Smith, North Platte, Neb.,
says: "After recovering from an at
tack of typhoid fever, our littlo boy
suffered for about a year from pains
through hisVck and a badly disordered
condition of his kidneys. Ho had a
constant feeling of weakness und ut
times was so languid that ho could
hardly drag himself around. The kid
ney secretions woro too frequent and
part of tho time lie had no control ov
er them. Therp was a dull, heavy
ache through his buck and sides that
annoyed him torlibly and though we
consulted doctors about his case, tho
medicine they prescribed did not bring
any permanent benefit. A few months
ago wo learned ofDoan's Kidney Pills
and procured n box at A. F, Stroitz's
drug storo. Tho prompt relief our son
received f rom tho juso of this remedy
wns vory gratifying and I am glad to
say ho was finally restored to good
health."
