his team at Thompson’s livery barn in
this city last Wednesday. He attempted

followed Mr. Halloran was muchly
shaken up, although iso believe not
seriously injured.
The early portrait of Lincoln, which
forms the frontispiece of McClure’s
Magazine for November, shows that
Lincoln was a very handsome and dig
nified young man. It is not positively
known at what age this picture was
taken. It looks certainly fifteen years
younger than any hitherto published
portrait of Lincoln. The daguerreotype
is owned by the Hon. Robert T. Lincoln.
Exchange: Not long since a preacher
bought a bicycle, and after repeated at
temps to ride it gives this view of It:
‘‘These bladdfer wheeled bicycles are
diabolical devices of the demon of dark
ness. They are contrived to catch the
feet of the unwary and skin the nose of
the innocent. They are full of guile and
deceit. When you think you have
broken one to ride and subdued its wild
and Satanic nature, behold it bucketh
you off in the road and teareth c great
hole in your pants. Look not upou the
bike when it bloweih upon its wheels,
for at last it bucketh like like a broncho
and hurteth like ltliunder. Who hath
skinned legs? w'ho hath a bloody nose?
Who hath ripped breeches? They that
dally along with a bicycle."
As tbe situation in tbia judicial district
now stands Westover is eleven votes
ahead of Bartow, with Golden a couple
of hundred behind ' Bartow. Bartow
claims that in one precinct in Dawes
county fifteen yotes that should have
been counted for him were thrown out,
and it is said that he will apply for a
mandamus to compel the board to re
canvass the vote and count those ballots.
Hr. Bartow is entitled to an honest
count. __
Exchange: At twenty, when a man
is young, he thinks he knows it ail; he
likes to.wag his active tongue and exer
cise his gall; he struts around In noble
rage, the world is all his own; he laughs
to scorn the world of age and lists to
self alone. He wears a window in his
eye to see his whiskers grow; he thinks
l the ladies pine and die because they love
him so. At forty, as you may suppose,
he’s knuckled down to biz; ’tls not till
sixty that h$ knows how big a chump
he is. __
Graphic: Attorney-General Churchill
is at work on a brief in support of the
transfer switch law which has been de
clared invalid by the district court. Two
test cases were commenced by tbe board
of transportation to compel the con
struction of transfer switches at O’Neill
and Schuyler. Secretary Dilworth is
assisting in the case. The transfer
i switch act was passed by the legislature
of 1803, but it has never been put into
force, and the result of these suits is
awaited with interest. They will be
considered by the supreme court about
November 31.
An editor who died of starvation was
being escorted to heaven by an angel
who had been sent out for that purpose.
“May I look at the other place before we
ascend to eternal happlnessf’ said the
editor. “Easily.” replied the angel. So
they went below and skirmished around
taking in the sights. After a while the
angel lost track of the editor and bunted
all over hades looking for him. He
finally found him sitting by a furnace
fanning himself and gazing with rapture
upon a lot of people in the fire. There
was a sign over the furnace which said:
i “Delinquent Subscribers.” “Come,”
said the angel, “we must be going.”
“You go on,” said the editor, “I’m not
coming. This is heaven enough for
me.”—Exchange.
Chambers Bugle: The sudden death
of Frank Lambert, second son of L. Q.
Lambert, which occurred on Saturday
night last, has cast a gloom over the en
tire community. He had started from
home on Friday morning with a load of
baled bay for Inman, in company with
his uncle, Harry Porter. When near R.
J. Starr’s place, he was taken suddenly
with severe pains in his stomach, which
increased in violence to such an extent
that they were obliged to discontinue
their journey and he was left at the
home of L. U. Bell, and Dr. Watson
was upromptly sent for. When the
doctor arrived the case was found to be
hopeless. He continued growing worse
and Saturday night death claimed the
yoang man as bis victim. He was 24
years, 9 months and 29 days old. The
deceased bore an excellent character,and
was a favorite among those who knew
him. Old and young alike held him in
the highest esteem and his sudden death
came as a great sorrow.
O in aba Bee, Nov. 20: Today the
supreme court banded down the most
important decision in and of tbe irri
gation cases before Ibat body. The ver
dict of tho lower court in tbe case of tbe
board of directors of Alfalfa Irrigatiou
district, appellees, against M. 8. Collins
et. al„ appellants, was affirmed. The
decision is by Justice Post. A portion
of tbe syllabus holds- “Tbe act ap'
proved March 26, 1805, known as the
district irrigation law, provides that
when bonds are authorised by a vote of
any irrigation district application may
be made to tbe district court of tbe
county in which such district or part
thereof is situated for an order confirm
ing and approving the same. At the
time set for hearing, and after notice by
publication to all concerned, any person
interested in said district may appear
and resist such application, and the
court may examine into any determine
all questions pertaining to tbe organiza
tion of tbe district, as welt as tbe regu
larity of the voting and issuing of such
| bonds. Held: Not to contemplate tbe
taking of property without due process
of law, by means of taxation, within tbe
prohibition of the state or federal con
stitution. Irrigation districts organizes
under our laws are public rather than
municipal corporations, and their officers
are public agents of the state. The dis
trict irrigation law does not conflict with
tbe constitution by authorizing the tak
ing of property for private use only.
The district irrigation lsw is not uncon
stitutional on the ground that tbe power
thereby conferred upon districts to levy
taxes is without limitation.”

‘ HOW ABOUT THX OBXAHXBT1
There seems to be no doubt among the
farmers but that the creamery would be
n good thjng for all within reach of It,
provided It c*n be run successfully, and
the farmers get paid for their cream, but
they are afraid of a repetition of their
former experience. This would be all
right if the preseut proposition was not
made by a man who has already made a
grand success of the business in Holt
county and whose proposition is such
that if he fails he gets nothing from
those who subscribe to assist him in
starting, as the building be asks is held
for three years pending his success, and
in case of/failure he does uot get a cent
If the farmers understood the question
thoroughly there could be no hesitancy
on their part to lend their assistance and
give their,patronage without the assur
ance of which it will not be started.
Mr. Bdglehaupt is not dependant upon
this place’alone as be already has other
good positions awaiting him, but will
Start here if be gets any encouragement
from the farmers. The business men of
this city can do no more than they
already have done and if the farmers are
not enough interested to come out Sat
urday and discuss the matter the project
will be abandoned. If you are interested
come and help to secure the meeting.
This is an enterprise that will bring
more ready cash to the farmer than any
other. plan that can be proposed at
present,

cott’a: An Editor, however humble his
gifts,. so’on lesrns—wbst some of his
correspondents seem to And it difficult,
to Understand—that a periodical is not
an eleemosynary institution nor a mutual
admiration society; that it cannot safely
be conducted on motives of friendship
or philanthropy; that it is "run” for the
benefit of its owners and its readers, and
only Incidentally for that of contributors.
Writer! exist for the public, not the

The magazine c6uld not go on without

very lightly with an editor. To accept
an article out of kindness, fear, or favor,
simply to oblige the writer, however

THE JVDGISHir.
The election of one judge in the Fif
teenth Judicial district Is still ,ln doubt,
end is very close.
The populists claim the election of
Westoter by a majority of 11 as shown
by their official count. Judge Bartow’s
▼ote in Obadron precinct was given on
tlie night of election as 80S. The official
canvass cat him down IS vote to 840.
The poll book from the engine bouse
precinct had mysterously disappeared, all
the judges and clerks of election deny
ing any knowledge of its whereabouts.
A request was made by Judge Bartow to
the county clerk to reconvene the can
vassing board and re-canvasa the returns
according to law. This the board took
under advisement, and refused to do.
Thursday the missing poll book was
found In the office of A. G. Fisher. The
Journal understands that some legal
proceedings may be taken to ascertain
the correct vote on the Judicial ticket in
Chadron precinctiof the nature of which
we are not fully advised.
The State Journal of the 18th Inst.,
says that complete returns from Sheri
dan county have not yet been received
by the secretary of state and that the
election of one judge in the Fifteenth
district is still in doubt. The official
canvass of the state board will deter
mine the result.—Dawes County Journal.
The result of the recent election does
not seem to give Hint universal satis
faction that might (T) be expected. The
canvassing board met last Thursday and
thoroughly went over the returns from
tbe various precincts in the county.
During the canvass they discovered sev
eral clerical errors, which they corrected,
as they believed lawfully. "The correc
tions made a change of n few votes in
the total for district judges, and this
Judge Bartow strenuously objected to.
By his request the county clerk recon
vened the gentlemen composing the
board, and they met at tbe court-house
on Tuesday evening. Judge Bartow,
by bis attorney, A. W. Crltes, presented
arguments to them to induce the open
ing of tbe poll books and giving a re
count to Judge Bartow. The case was
argued pro and con. by those present, the
board being npecially represented by
County Attorney Eokles. After a couple
-of hours of legal talk the board took tbe
matter under adyisement and agreed to
give a decisive answer this afternoon as
to whether they would re-open the poll
books or not. In case the request is
denied, we understand that Judge Bar
tow intends applying to the supreme
court for a writ of mandamus to compel
a recount and the filing of a new certifi
cate with the state canvassing board.
Since writing the above tbe board re
convened at 9 o'clock this afternoon and
refused to open the poll books and make
a recount. Just what disposition will
now be made of the case we do not
know-—Chadron Recorder.
