It ia a source of gratification to see such hard working colonels as Editors Hammond/Raker, Jenness and others, catching the political fruit of their labors—that should have fallen to them years ago. Senator Thurston could have devised no surer method of rehabilitating the party in the state than by rewarding the faithful moulders of public opinion, who make it possible for those wbp dispense auch patronage to be elected. f; From the Lone Star state comes the following letter, written by W.

As the bridge wu one we needed in our businus, we Uked the ancient mariner what he wu doing with it, and in which case,'why so, or words to that effect. He replied: “My eyesight is poor and I have not my spectacles with me; I have been told i that many advertuements are printed on this bridge, and I am taking it borne in order that I may read them and find out where to get bargains. The long win-1 ter evenings are coming, and I want to lay in a supply of board fences, bun doors and bridges so that 1 may ait by my fireside and read what the merchants have to say.” We told him that the newspapers contained more advertise ments than the bridges, and better onu too, but he uid the print in newspapers is to fine. We drove away, glad that the bridge and fence advertisers have at leut one regular reader. Sioux City Times: Rev. Dr. Geo. W. Pepper, of Cleveland, O., who wu a famous chaplain in Sherman’s army, will deliver a lecture at O’Neill, Neb., on the evening of November 30, and will return eut by way of Sioux City, arriving here the afternoon of Novem ber 27. His personal friend, John Brennan, editor of the Northwestern Catholic, is arranging to give him a reception. In speaking of Dr. Pepper, Mr. Brennan said he was the idol of Irishmen. “Dr. Pepper," said Mr. Brennan, “is a Methodist minister and an able exponent of that faith. An American by choice and by adoption, he hu yet been faithful to his Island birthland. A Protutant of the Protest ants, he has always entertained an ardent affection for his Catholic fellow countrymen, and a hearty admiration for all that is Just, manly and virtuous in their character. Nor hu his love been unwisely butowed. There is probably no other Irish born man on any continent so universally beloved by bis compatriots. They call him ‘Father Pepper,’ and, knowing the purity of his life and character, his devotion to lib-’ erty and his world embracing love of humanity, they would deem it a harsh theology that would forbid them the hope of meeting him in heaven." sometnug to Know.

The court requested him to cover two points not submitted by the county attorney of Holt county. The approval of the bond out of time and the estoppel of auretlee are the two questions which the supreme court desires the attorney.general to argue. | The Scott case la considered of great importance by the legal fraternity and | the public, because it involves the same points trhich will come before the court in the case of ex-State Treasurer Bart ley and hlsbOndamen. The Scott case is famous to Nebraska, tor the reason that tbe vigtlantea hanged the ex-county treasurer.when his political friends, it is said, kept him from going to the peni tentiary. Official bonds in both cases were approved out of time. The Bart ley bond was approved January 9, Instead o& January 8, and the Scott -bond, instead of having been approved by the county board on January 7, was not approved until March. In both cases additional bondsmen signed and the question of estoppel of sureties is involved in each. It is rumored that the supreme court could have decided the Scott ease on other points, and the request made to the attorney-general is ■taken as an indication that the court desires to go to the bottom of vtbe ease. I The following ia a story of a Nebraska pumpkin: L. M. Copaland. of Mloden, la the man who raiaad the big pumpkin a few yean ago. Seer hear about that pumpkin? ‘‘Cope" planted a pumpkin aeed in the back of hla lot one apring. He watched over the growing vine with the tendereat care, fondly thinking of the plea he would have during the win* ter. When the pumpkin was about two-thlrda grown, Cope turned hia cow into the lot one evening. When he went out to milk next morning the cow waa gone. Search for the animal waa vain, and after a week or two he gave her np for loet. The time came when that pumpkin ahntild be harveated and Cope went out to bring it in. He rigged up a derrick and prepared to hoiat up the yellow fellow on the wagon, when he heard a rattling aound inaide of it. Cope ia not auperatitloua, but he admits that that noise atartledhim. He waitedafew momenta and approached the’ pumpkin again; Once more-'he heard that peculiar noiae and hia hair atood on end. He backed off a few yards and wailed until hia nerve grew ateady, and then with an air of one prepared to do or die, he approached the pumpkin. “I never waa so sur prised in my life,” said Cope, when he told the story. "I walked around to the lee side of that pumpkin and saw a big hole. Looking in I aaw my long loat cow. She had eaten a hole in the pumpkin, walked in and made herself at home. She waa ao well satisfied that she remained in until the growing pumpkin almost closed the hole, and she did not try to get out. She just stayed in there and lived high, and when I cut her out she had increased her weight 827 pounds and gave the best milk I ever drank. It waa ao rich that Instead of skimming the cream off, we turned it upside down and skimmed off the milk." If anyone doubts thla atory Cope Is willing to prove It by showing some of the seeds from the pumpkin. The cow died a few montha ago, and Cope aays the cause of death was indigestion.—Ex.

Now In the face of thia plain and unmietakable law, in the face of all the scandal that gathered around the re count frauds of lut winter, in the face of the present concocted fusion majority by which there is now no political necessity such as existed last year when the reformera were trying to count in fusion Judges, in the face of all the recent agitation and discussion of the rights of the ballot, Secretary Porter is opening and examining these returns as fast as they come, making of himself and his deputy the canvassing board; acting before the time, acting In aecret, defying the law, and answering to those who inquire aa to his unuaual proceed ings "that he haln’t goln' to commit no fraud on the ballot and that that are law don’t amount to nuthin* nohow." The newspaper reporters, astonished that the secretary should have the nerve to do this—it bad never been done before by any secretary of state—asking Porter for an explanation, were answered, "That law is obsolete. It is obsolete like many other laws. _ It is no good. We can’t have reform unlese we have reform." Ed R. Sizer, secretary of the republi can state committee, with a view to ascertaining just what was being done and to protest against Porter’s unlawful tampering with the returns, called at the secretary of state’s office on Thursday afternoon. "Where Is the secretary of state?” asked Mr. Sizer. "Across the hall," answered the deputy. "Will you call him in a moment? I want to protest against your opening and tampering with these sealed election returns," said Sizer. At this Deputy Weisner flew into a fit of bad tamper, awkward man ners and answered, "If you want to see Porter you can hunt him up yourself, but we’ll go on doin’this business our way all the same." "But don’t you know the law prohib its you from opening, or tampering with these returns In this way?" asked Sizer coolly. “By the way they are rollin' up! majorities guess the people is pucty well satisfied with the way we are doin’ things," answered the deputy. "Ton fellers needn’t come round here shOotin’ off about this. Guess we had to open ’em up to see if they was correct, didn’t we? Guess the people’s done with you fellers anyway. Your steelin' settled settled you. You ran kick and shoot off but the people don’t pay no attention to you. Y’er beat in the election an’ tb.t .All » It happens this year that the fusion majority is so large that no contest will be Hied, but if there were contests and legal complications which called these returns in question, the action of Secre tary Porter would be very serious. The secretary has no more right to open these sealed returns than has the mail clerk at the postofflce or the janitor at the state house. But the secretary simply brushes the law aside with a ware of his long arm and bis loud voice and says, "The law is absolete. It is no good.” While this is going on the governor, his private secretary and W. J. Bryan are off on a jack rabbit junkett to the northwest. They will read about it in the daily papers, but they will psy no attention to it Maret will regard it as a good joke. Biyan will regard it as too small a thing to command the attention of a great man. Holcomb will regard It with the same complaisant acquiescence with which he regarded the recount frand, and with the same stolid indiffsr «am wlili which he regard* MeaerreV •traw bond which ia atUl knocking at the door.

S Ohadbom, Neb., Nov. 1&—8podal to Slate Journal: In a bead-end collision between a fnight and passenger train seven miles east of here this morning ,1 -r tha passengers narrowly escaped instant death. The wreck occurred only a few feet beyond i feep cut, on either side of which were walls of stone towenag to a height of fifty feet. The cool behavior of Engineer Cooley of the passenger train is what avoided one of the most / disastrous accidents in the history of the Elkhorn railroad. With rare presence . ^ of mind the engineer, before leaving his, cab, reversed his engine a«d set the air _ brakes on his train, deserting his engine when the incoming train was within a V few feet of his locomotive. The accident was due to the engineer of the through freight, No. 97, miscon struing his instructions, which were to , *', -' meet the passenger train at Bordeaux, seven miles east of here. Connors left his engine as soon os he saw the other train coming, and when the crash »t his train was going at a speed ot not less than twenty miles an hour. Engi neer Cooley of the passenger train had his train under control, and the fact that it was at a standstill, with all . brakes set, is all that saved the lives of the half hundred passengers. ▲ half dozen box cars loaded with ' v merchandise and three cars of mules, consigned to Ft. Robinson, wore piled up in a heap, engines and contents of the cars being a total loos. No one was killed or Injured, though Mail Clerk ; Rowe, who was lying on a cot in his car had a narrow escape. The tank of the engine cut off the entire side of the Iff ear opposite where he was lying and ; deluged him with water, but he eacaped uninjured. The mail not contained in the pouches is greatly damaged, some of it being antirely ruined. / It often happens that the doctor ia out of town when moat needed. The two year old daughter of J. T. Schenck, of Caddo, Ind. Ter., wu threatened with croup. He write*: “My wife insisted that I go for the doctor at once, but aa he waa out of town, I purchaaed a bottle of Chamberlnin'a Cough Bemedy, which relieved the child immediately.” A bottle of that remedy in the houae will often *ave the expense of a doctor** bill, besides the anxiety always occasioned by serious sickness. When it is giyen as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. Thousands of mothers always keep it in their homes. The 26 and 50 cent bottles for sale by P. C.
