Walt Muon: The other day u we
were out driving down town behind our

aged man tearing a bridge to pieces and
placing it upon a wagon. 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."

State Journal: Attorney-General C.
J. Smyth baa been requested by the
supreme court to aubmit a brief in- the
Barrett Scott case. 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.

Id ran of a clonly contested election
there might be eome dispute u to
whether the returns were genuine or
spurious, end so the stetutee provide
explicitly that the return shell be
opened only before the board at Its
designated sitting for that purpose so
that the public if it eo deeiree may wlt
neee the opening and may see that no
one is fraudulently counted in or out.
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

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.
