I Bicycle “scorching'’ on the streets should be stopped. We do not see any sense in a man riding along the streets i with his head over the handle bars and going as if a band of Leech Lake In dians were seeking his scalp.

Give its advertising columns a fair trial and you will be convinced._ Washington, Oct. 12—'The war de partment will conform to the modified request of Governor Holcomb, of Ne braska, in relation to the Nebraska reg iments. Governor Holcomb suggested that the number of each company of the First and Third regiments be reduced to the minimum of 81 soldiers, thus allow ing a number of discharges from both regiments in the service. The First Ne braska is at Manila and the Third, Col.. Bryan’s, is at Jacksonville. Tbc Tbird Nebraska bas been ordered to go to Savannah, Ga.t and prepare for their trip to Cuba where they will do garrison duty. President McKinley agreed to muster out one of the Nebraska regiments if Gov. Holcomb would desig nate whioh regiment be would like to see relieved, and although Gov. Holcomb went to Washington in the interest of the Third when it came to a “show down” he refused to designate which regiment should be relieved and it is the understanding now that both the First and Third will be retained in the service tor a time at least. We clip the following question and answer from the New York Sun. Who made the following remark and on what occasion was said remark made: “No •Irish need apply.” The words for awhile were common in advertisements of servants wanted. The story is that Dean Swift and his Irish servant were traveling near Cork and reached that city, then governed by some English man. He had fastened a sign on the gate to the effect that Irish would not be admitted. The dean passed in. Pat rick remained on the outside. He saw this sign and presently added this coup let: “Whoever wrote this wrote it well, for the same is written on the gates of hell.” ASSIGNEE'S SALE.

Defendants allowed thirty days to file answer. The case of the State of Nebraska vs Frederick Valentine charged with assault with intent to kill was called up October 4. Defendant making affidavit that he was unable to procure counsel, Judge Kinkaid appointed R. R. Dickson to defend-said Valentine. The case came on for trial before a jury and oc cupied the attention of the court for four days. Valentine is the man ar rested a few weeks ago at Wakefield, Neb., charged with shooting with intent to kill Frank Willows at the residence of Wm. Davidson at Dorsey, on July 2 last. A large number of witnesses were examined on both sides and the case was bitterly contested. J. J. Harrington as sisted County Attorney Butler in the prosecution. It appears that Valentine while in jail here wrote some letters to a brother in which damaging admissions were made. The letters never reached their destination but landed in the hands of the prosecution. One of the letters was very damaging to the prisoner, who denied having written it and the charge was made by the defense that it was forged. The case went to the jury Saturday morning and after being out a few hours returned a verdict of guilty. Wednesday morning Judge Kinkaid sentenced the prisoner to six years in the penitentiary at hard labor. E. H. Benedict vs Timothy Dwyer Plaintiff sued defendant for a $500 at torney fee.

Damages given de fendant, by reason ot wrongful deten j tion of property, one cent. THIRD WANTS TO COME HOME. Jacksonville, Times Union: Col. W. J. Bryan returned at a late hour on Tuesday evening from Washington, ac companied by Mrs. Bryan. They regia* tered at the Windsor, where they will be located for a few days and until the condition of Colonel Bryan’s health shall, to a degree, settle his physical ability to assume active command of his regiment. He was seen for a few mo* ments at the hotel last evening and ap peared to have lost several shades of Florida tan that he earned north with him about two weeks ago. In answer to queries put by a Times-Union and Cit izen reporter, Colonel Bryan said: “I have returned to Jacksonville some* what sooner than I expected to do, but the Governor of Nebraska needed some information concerning my regiment, which required my presence here. I came down with the idea that if mv health shall demand, I may go away again for a^short stay. No, I shall not assume command of my regiment for several days. “I went to Washington to discuss with the governor and president tho mus tering out of Nebraska troops. The fact is that Nebraka has now in the field considerably more than her quota of the 100,000 troops to be Kept by the government. We discussed the best method of getting at the reduction. It was suggested that it be by individual discharges, then by discharging a bat talion or more, but both seemed to be unmilltary, and were rejected by the president. It was finally left to Gov ernor Holcomb to decide which of the regiments now in the field be would Belect to be mustered out. The First Nebraska is in Manila, and the Third is here. He will have to decide between these, and be wishes to make inquiries before deciding. How soon be will reach his decision, I don’t know.” “Colonel, are you willing to say any thing concerning your own future with the regiment?" "No: nothing. I am always sorry to dissappoint you newspaper men, but sometimes I have to do it, and I am always sorry when it Is necessary, but I can say nothing about it all.” Colonel Bryan did not say so, but it was reported that the information con cerning his regiment was obtained by making a poll of it yesterday as to the desires of the members to be mustered out or go to Cuba. The result is said to have been that about 87 per cent, of the enlisted men signified a desire to go home, and that the officers were about equally diyided on the question, part of them not voting at all. This informa tion, it is said, will be conveyed to Gov ernor Holcomb. * The Third Nebraska has been located at Pablo Beach for several weeks past, and came up yesterday, going into camp at Fairfield, where it will become a part of the First division, being transferred from the Third. POLITICIANS. Being a professed crilic I can be neither a republican nor a populist, and I don't want to be a democrat, so my position in politics is most strictly un biased. Yet I am a politician and am in it for what it ia worth; just like every other politician. All politicians, of whatever party, may be divided into two classes, they are either patriots or they’are boodhrs. To be a boodler it is not necessary to have boodle, it is necessary only to want boodle. The boodler is the man that expects direct gain from his poli tics; the patriot hopes for only such as may come to him through the general prosperity of the community. The pa triot wants only such profit as bis neighbor shares with him; the boodler wants profit at his neighbor’s loss. He does not give a tinker’s curse who is at the head of affairs in Washington if his gang wins at home and he gets his share of the spoils. He abuses the ballot box; be betrays the sacred trust of citizenship, he becomes a traitor to his constituents, to bis state and to bis country, for his own personal gain. But how does this concern you, my friend, the reader? It concerns you very much. For what about the man that is running for couuty office? Is he running for the county’s profit or for his own? Or how about your friend who is a candidate for a state office? Who does he expect will profit most by his success, himself or the state? This is the criterion of every man’s patriotism. The patriot puts the community before himself, but the boodler puts himself IS We m : Want Your trade and wilt work for it. We oan make prices that will please you. We have the stock and qual ity for all. Groceries, flour, feed, salt by the barrelI and rock salt by the ton: Yours for square dealing and low prices, O’Neill Grocery Co., P. M. RAYMOND, Mngr. before the community. The disease of our country, and of our state, and of Holt county, is not re* publicanism, nor democracy nor popo cracy, but boodleocracy. We are suf* faring not so much on account of any particular party that has been in power, as on account of the boodlers, that is to say, traitors that are found in ail parties. Reform is necessary, but reform doee not necessarily mean the formation of new parties, but only the cleansing and the weeding of the old. Instead of changing the present polioy of tbe gov ernment the greatest need and the high est desire that is that clean men should hold office. . * The future of this country lies in the hands of the young men. They are the saviors of the nation. Just as in war, so also in peace, the yoeng men must bear the brunt of the battle. They, on account of their personal independence, can afford to despise tbe political boeses and work for the highest good of the community. They should be slow to : join parties, they should give attentive study to the problems of the nation, and think twice before taking the decisive jump into one or another of the parties. Let them have confidence in their own education and in the advice of recog nized statesmen, but above all let them regard with suspicion the flattering palaver of the petty, vile, traitorous, ax* • grinding politician.

THUS DOCTORS lH COHSOLTATIOV. “When yon are sick, what you like ,|| beet ie to be chosen for a medicine in the first place; what experience tells yon is best, to be chosen in the second place, what reason (i. e., Theory) says is best is to be chosen in the last place. Bnt if you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Ex* M perience and Dr. Reason to hold a con* sulation together, they will give you the best advice that can be taken."—Ben* jamin Franklin. When you have a bad cold Dr. In* clination would recomend Chamber* Iain's Cough Remedy because it is pleas* ent and safe to take. Dr. Experience would recommend it because it never fails to effect a speedy and permanent cure. Dr. Reason would recommend it because it is prepared on scientific prin ciples, and acts on nature’s plan in re* lieving the lungs, opening the secretions and restoring the system to a natural and healthy condition.
