% The long-drawn-out contest is over,
and while the republicana gained no
county office, they succeeded in holding
Iiir own and made encouraging gains
roughoat the countv.
The populists put up a fight that could
not be beaten by fair means. They
boldly -bought their way into office. It
is estimated that they spent from five to
ten thousand dollars, paying as high as
990 apiece for some votes. It is a sad
commentary on the purity of Holt
county politics when we say that at least
400 voters were bought outright, but we
have reason to believe that such is the
Case: They were not bought with
promises, but with the cold cash, and
the people are suspicious that the count;
treasury was the base of supplies. It
was a desperate case with the pops; tbev
had to win this time or retire forever
from the arena of county politics and no
one realised this fact more than they,
,,|tnd for that reason they made the fight
of their lives and spent more money in
the campaign than tteir salaries will
amount to in one year. That is the
only way the populists can win in Holt
county. The honesty and good citizen
ahip of the county is against them, but
they have the money to buy the cor
ruptible.
Odie Biglin, while defeated, has noth
ing else to regret. After the bitter fight
waged against him his home gave him a
vindication to which he can always point
with pardonable pride. Atkinson uud
Ewing are responsible for his defeat.
Stuart is responsible for the defeat of
John Brady. They cut him for Hamil
ton. Every point that division touched
burned a great big blister on the republi
can ticket.
John Skirving received a vindication
at the hands of the people by being re
elected clerk of the district court.
The entire state ticket is elected by a
majority of about 30,000.
Einkaid is an easy winner, but Bar
tow is in doubt. It will be either Bar
tow or Westover and an official count
will ptobably be necessary to determine.

CURIOSITIES OF DREAMS.
•oat* Scientific liptantlou of the
Queer Things We Do end See.
The cause and classification of
dreams la a subject that, although It
has been discussed from time Imme
morial, seems to be as little understood,
beyond a certain point, as it was ages
ago. At the Hypnotic congress, held In
Paris recently, much time was spent In
considering this question, and though
some interesting theories were brought
forth the savants were but little wiser
when the discussion ended than when
It began. A compatriot of Ibsen, Dr,
Mourley Void, professor in the Univer
sity of Christiania, gave the result of
numerous experiments made upon him
self and others who had lent them
selves to the cause of science In trying
to ascertain the dividing line between
the role played In dreams by the cuta
neous and muscular senses and between
the true Images of the day and the
phantoms of the night. You rarely
dream this savant .says, that you are
lying down, but generally that you are
standing or sitting in a way correspond
ing to the position of the member which
makes its Impression upon the mind.
For example, if one dreams that be is
standing on tiptoe, it will be found that
his toes are pressing hard against the
footboard of the bed. Dreams of walk
ing, running, dancing and the like are
always produced by the position of the
feet. Another of this doctor’s theories
Is that when we dream our minds, to a
certain extent, become as they were
when we were children. In support of
this he says that when a dreamer, with
half-awakened sense, sees his hand be
fore him, he Instinctively begins to
count the fingers. This Is bee > the
dormant senses reduce the s—eper's
mind to a childish state of feebleness,
and it is in infancy that our first les
sons in computation begin upon our
fingers. The visual impressions of the
day form another class of dreams. Dr.
Mourley Void is •( the opinion that 1
happy days are followed by pleasant * V’
dreams, and Tice versa. Every one <
I knows, however, that this is not always 1
1 the case. At the conclusion of theiearn
ed Norwegian’s address one of the old-' v.
eat of his listeners—one of the moat cel
ebrated physicians In Parle—remarked
to a colleague that if one has had bad ,
dreams It la because of Indigestion of
too much clothes on the bed, or too lit*
tie air In the room, or because his wife ■
snorea, or because he Is lying In an ms
comfortable position, and that with
proper precautions there should be only ‘ .
pleasant dreams or none at all. 4

RARE PRESENCE OP MIND. '*
HuggaU a Hem, land > Hlek u4
On|U • OM
That subtle thing known as "pres
ence of mind" is credited with a good
many noble deeds and hairbreadth es
capee. Men who, np to a critical occa- ,
sion, were never suspected of having
any mind, have suddenly developed
under pressure, to the astonishment of
their critical friends. There was a die- .
tlnct case of this sort chronicled on the
boulevard the other day. The blcyols
brigade was out In force. A young man
with the vacuous blcyele expression i
came bowling along on the wrong tide .
of the parkway, closely followed by a
blond In bloomers, while a brunette ,
bloomer kept pace on the other aide.
The blond bloomer was crowding the
young man somewhat, when he heard
her utter a sharp cry of alarm. He
turned to see her frantic gesture, and
almost at the same moment he was
dashed into by a tour-horse team at
tached to a great beer wagon.
The two bloomers screamed in uni- '
son and the driver of the wages, a
coarse-grained Individual, with an In
flamed nose, ripped out a few familiar ‘
oaths and drew up. All that was seen:-r
at the moment was a riderless bleyels
trundling off down along the curb.
Then the quickly gathering crowd
looked breathlessly under the wagon '
and beneath the Iron-shed hoots.
There was nobody there. The young 1
man had leaped from his wheel and
grabbed a horse around the neck, and
there he still hung, by beth legs and
arms. Instead of being trampled to *
death he was at that moment endanger
ing the life of a valuable by §f
strangulation. No man ever clung so
his best girl with such a lively grip.
The' women looked on admiringly.
"It was Just splendid,” said the blond
bloomer. “What made you think of
doing ltT" -
"You,” laid he. .
There was a perceptible wriggle In
her wheel as they rode off together.
An nngtlah Woman as a Wntslkssnasi
In one of the current English period- . ,
teals there appears a picture of an ex- <:
cept tonally beautiful woman In evening
gown, who possesses an unmistakably
artistic air. Why this particular beauty
is thus depleted one cannot help won
dering until their wonder Is mastered
by surprise by finding “that the original
was a gentlewoman hotelkeeper." J;.
The hotel, It seems, was one of Eng
land’s ancestral homes in one of the -
loveliest shires, and, being unable to
either support the mansion In Its de
serving style or let or sell it, the owners
determined to utilise it In that way. So
the wife became “secretary of the In- ’■
terlor,” and besides most ably maaag- ■*
ing the house and staff of servants,
made a most delightful hostess. The -
husband superintended the stables and ' ,
looked after the outdoor attractions of c t
fishing, driving, hunting, etc. ^
The guests were thus able to enjoy
an Independent stay at an aristocratic, 1 -■
well-appointed and thoroughly man
aged establishment The success of the
venture emphasises the fact that a . \ /
woman who can conduct an elegant
home la the proper person to be at the
head of a high-class hotel or boarding
house.” .
From the Florida TImee Union: W.
A. Gilbert, the gunsmith, and a party
of friends have Just returned- from a
hunting and fishing cruise In Nassau
Sound in the yacht Fannie, and Mr. Gil
bert has good reasons to congratulate
himself that he Is not sleeping In the
stomach of a monster ’gator. The
'gator was found one morning dosing
on the placid bosom of the sound, only’
his nose and a part of his head pro
truding. Mr. Gilbert drew a bead on
him. “Crack!" went the gun, and the
’gator half leaped out of the water.
Then he churned it into bloody foam.
Mr. Gilbert hurried up to the ’gator and
pumped eight more bullets into him.
Then the saurian lay still and Mr. Gil
bert concluded that he was dead. Not
caring to lose so fine a trophy, he pulled
oft his clotheB and swam to the ’gator
to tie a rope to his tail. He had ad
justed the rope nicely, when suddenly,
to Mr. Gilbert's surprise and horror the
'gator wheeled around, with his mouth
wide open, and made for his would-be
slayer. Mr. Gilbert, with remarkable
presence of mind, dived. When he rose
to the surface the ’gator spied him
again, and on he came at a clipping
pace. Mr. Gilbert dived again. Three
times the same thing was repeated. At
last Mr. Gilbert reached the shore. He
was almost winded, and his hair, In
spite of the water, stood up straight on
end like the aullls of a porcupine.
