THE WINNERS.
The Battle is Over, and the
“Old Flag” Still Waves.
This is for Atkinson. They laid
the county division question aside and
gave Mr. Coats a nice majority over
both of his opponents. The republi
cans of Stuart are respectfully re
quested to compare the vote of Mr.
Goats,in Atkinson, to that cast in
Stuart last fall for John Brady.
I crow for W. N. Coats, of Stuart,
the only republican supervisor who
was elected. Mr. Coats will give a
good account of himself while he
serves the people of Holt county.
New York was right iu line, only
800.000 for MoKinley. Pennsyl
vania gave the champion of Ameri
can industries about the
majority, while Nebraska—bat
is another story.

MCKINLEY AND PROSPERITY
From the returns McKinley is sure of 251 votes in the
electoral college. Kentucky, with 13 votes, is still in doubt,
but the chances are favorable to McKinley. This will give
him 264 votes, or 40 more than is necessary to elect him.
This ia what McKinley will serve
up to Spain until Bhe learns to treat
Americans with the respect due
them as subjects of the greatest
nation on earth.
Well, how do yon like it?

victory 1
Congratulations to President

The “I told you so” fiend is very
much in evidence.
McKinley, prosperity and protec
tion nre to the front.
Nebraska, Arkansas and Holt
county went for Bryan.
The party of Lincoln, Grant and
Garfield are victorious.

Bryan has gone down.
We have many things to be
thankful for, even if the pops did
carry Nebraska.
Lost, in an avalanche of votes, on
November 8, 1806, one W. J. Bryan,
a resident of Nebraska.
Bryan got a heavy vote in O’Neill.
Well, we did not expect to carry the
city anyway, and we did not need it
Benedict ran about 200 ahead of
his ticket Had it not been a presi
dential eleotion he would have been
elected.
Jack McCall, as clean a man as
ever ran for offioe in the Btate of
Nebraska, was turnod down by the
election Tuesday. “Silas got them
all.”
The citizens of Illinois have no
use for anarchy. Altgeld was
snowed under so deep that he will
never be heard of again in public
life.
Mabtland, Kentucky and West
Virginia have joined the republican
ranks. Senator Ciorman was not
very well posted on the politics of
his state.
At this writing, 2:30, Thursday,
it looks as if the entire fusion state
tioket was elected, and that thev
elect four out of the six congress
men. Mercer in the First and
Strode in the Second being the only
republicans who will represent
Nebraska in the next congress. The
fusioniste will also have a safe
majority in both branches of the
legislatuie. Owing to the interest
manifested in the head of the ticket,
it is hard to figure out the vote on
the state ticket outside of governor,
| but we believe the populists have
' won.
IN HOLT.
. The election passed off very
quietly in this city and county. A
large vote was polled in all the
precincts. While the returns are
not all in, enough have been re
ceived- to show that the populists
carried the county by large major
ities for all candidates.
Bryan will have a majority in the
county of about 550, Holcomb’s
majority will be about 470. The
balance of the state ticket car
ried the county by about 450, except
Smythe, who ran up with Holcomb.
Greene was elected by a majority of
about 470 over Cady in the county.
J. D. Lee, fusion candidate for
senator, will have a majority of
about 350 over Glassburn, republi
can, and the indications are that he
has carried the district by about 000.
Robertson and Grimes have been
elected to the legislature over Trom
mershausser and Rice. Robertson’s
majority will be about 200 and
Grimes about 275.
Butler was elected county attorney
over E. H. Benedict by about 300
majority.
In the First supervisor district J.
A. Robertson, populist, defeated
Peter Greeley, republican, by about
20 VOtOB.
In the Third district Mose Camp
bell has a majority over Harrington
of about 140. .
In the Fifth district S. L. Conger,
populist, defeated C. M. Ferguson,
republican, by about 6 votes.
W. N. Coats, republican, has a
majority in the Seventh district of
about 125 over Thos. Hanrahan,pop
ulist.
The new county board will be
composed of five populists and two
republicans.

HAVE HARD LIVES.
Vhe Disadvantage of Being a Medical
Missionary In China.
The women who go out as medical
missionaries have a hard time of it, ac
cording to a writer In the Philadelphia
Times, aside from mere Inconveniences
arising from living in such a country.
In prescribing medicines not only is
the fear of a future accusation of pois
oning ever present, but the possibility
that it may prove to be a reality. Thus
* bottle of liniment curing the vener
able grandmother of rheumatism may
be lent to a neighbor stricken with
small pox as an Infallible remedy; or
the entire contents of a vial of tooth
| ache medicine be administered in one
dose to a teething infant. Celestial rea
son that if a small portion is of any
benefit the whole bottleful, taken at
once, multiplies its usefulness in a cor
responding ratio. Therefore, if not pre
viously warned, experience soon teach
es the missionary to make it an infal
lible rule never to dispense a poison
ous remedy or one which could do harm
if the entire quality were taken at once.
Liniments and toothache drops com
pounded of nonpoisonous drugs may
not be highly potent, but they are at
least harmless. When it is absolutely
necessary to administer a powerful
remedy several times or for several
times In succession the doctor puts each
dose up in a separate vial, powder or
capsule, and leaving them at the dis
pensary with a trained American
nurse or other foreign helper, directs
that a servant or child of the patient
be sent there for one every three hours,
or three times a day, as the case may
require, otherwise It would all be taken
at once, or divided among ailing neigh
bors.
men me women doetors are obliged
to be ever on the alert to keep the na
tives from stealing drugs from their
medicine chests and so run the risk of
being poisoned. Then, too, the curious
objection to privacy which prevails in
China and makes it unwise for foreign
ers, especially doctors, to insist upon
it for fear of being regarded with su
perstition, makes it necessary to con
duct all operations in semi-public man
ner and there is always the danger that
tome of the spectators may object at a
critical point in the operation and thus
imperil the pationt’s life, which would
indeed be unfortunate for the poor sur
geon. Anaesthetics are regarded with
suspicion and seldom used, but the
native stolidity to pain makes them al
most unnecessary. Altogether the life
is not one to be desired.
LOVE AT GREAT ALTITUDE.
A Lady Who Climbs Mount Ranter
Winds Up by Marrying Her Guide.
Henry Carter, the famous Mount
Halner guide, has fallen in love under
romantic circumstances, and will be
married by Rev. 'William M. Jeffries,
the first preacher who delivered a ser
mon on top of the mountain. There is a
possibility that Carter will be married
on top of the mountain, the place where
he fell in love last Tuesday night, with
the thermometer registering 20 degrees
below zero. Ho is to marry Cora Beach
man, a school teacher, and the belle of
Lake Park, a suburb of Tacoma, says
the (Robe-Democrat.
Miss Beachman, accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. F. M. Gxoe of Eatonville, set
out Tuesday with Carter, the moat
trusted of all the mountain guides, to
ascend Mount Ranter. At Gibraltar
rock, which corresponds to the "shoul
der” of the Matterhorn, 4,000 feet from
the summit, Mrs. Groe became ex
hausted. Miss Beachman declared her
intention to reach the summit at all
hazards. Carter led the way, but soon
lost his ice ax, and in scaling difficult
passes they were compelled to rely
solely on thoir alpenstocks. They did
not reach the> summit until 6 p. m„ too
late to attengrt the descent that night.
They had luft Paradise Valley, below
the snow line, without wraps, and only
a lemon and one sandwich each in the
way of provisions. Carter selected a
sheltered ice cave formed by jets of
steam from the crater, and there they
passed a sleepless night, discussing all
sorts of topdes, and before they left the
summit, at 9 a. m. Wednesday, Miss
Beachman had promised to marry the
guide. The Instant they left the steam
of the ice cave their clothes were frozen
stiff, and they suffered great hardships
in descending. A rescue party organ
ized during the day, came to their re
lief late in the afternoon, after they had
been without food over twenty-four
hours.
Befoieil, Then Wm Sorry.
The cable was crowded and when a
I passenger boarded k be was nearly up
set by the eudden starting of the grip
car and tread on the toe of a man
standing at the rear end.
“I beg your pardon.” he said, very
politely; but the man of the hurt toe
scowled and In an undertone muttered
curses.
The innocent offender again apolo
gized. "Yes, but that don't help my toe
any;” and he growled some more in at
undertone.
Nearby passengers began to smile.
“I begged yoor pardon, didn’t I?”
i said the other man.
“Yes, but my toes hurts just the
same,” was the lieply in an ugly tone.
Then the other men's dander rose
and in very forcible language he said:
"Now, look hero. I accidentally stepped
•n your foot antf. I apologized for it Ii
you say another word about It I will
give you this in staid of my foot (show
ing his doubled fist), arid it will land
fight in your U tee."
This warning; was not taken., for he
continued to tsJk about die clumsiness
of some people. Suddenly the passen
gers were electrified by seeing a fist
shoot out and tbe growler lay in the
street as the car passed an. Nobody
■aid anything, but some thought i1
wasn't wiee J*> raik too much.
