Holt county populists realize that they will have the light of their lives this fall and are already “plugging” for their ticket. The value of Holt county’s corn crop this year is double that of any year since white man first stepped upon its fertile soil. -«-«•»■*--— Lieut. Wertz, of Stuart, would make an ideal candidate for county judge, and one that would make the pop nominee seek some other voca tion. -~ The shooting of Dreyfus’ attorney will go a long ways towards con vincing the people of Franco that they have been punishing an inno cent man. -♦ ♦ Hanrahan was one of the names forgotten by the pop county conven tion when it came to balloting for candidates for clerk of the district court last Saturday. Poor Tom. -- Senator Hayward was stricken with apoplexy at Brownville, Neb., last Monday afternoon and his con dition is serious. His many friends throughout the state hope for his speedy recovery. ---»■*§►< The bondsmen for Frank Hilton had to put up $7,850 and oosts, it being the amount he was short when state oil inspector. Hilton is one of the shining lights of populism in southeastern Nebraska. ---- Populists will have little to say about calamity and “10 to wuu” this fall. One glance at a Holt county cornlield would convince them that they will be unable to lure the voters with the old songs. ------- W. B. Hnigh, of Emmet, is being mentioned quite favorably for the republican nomination for conuty treasurer. If nominated, Bill would make the court-house oil room gang get on the run to even keep in sight. -- Dr. Norvall admitted he wus not qualitied for the position of county superintendent, but the pop con vention evidently were of the opin ion that the welfare of the public schools were secondary to the inter ests of the populist party, aud they nominated. The Frontier wuuts to see a good clean ticket nominated by the re publican county couveutlou next week. A ticket composed of repre sentative men of the conuty tor whom every republican will bo able to take off his coat and work. With a good ticket loyally wovked for we should wiu. * “Nothiug succeeds like persever ance” remarked a South Fork pop to the editor last Saturday. “I have kuown Dr. Norvall twelve years, and during that time ho has been a can didate before every county couven j tion of his party and has at last I secured a nomination. But we wou’t do a thing in the south country but skin him right when it ^comes to the election,” he remarked. I Fusion is not nearly so popular as it was a few years ago in this state. Kven up in Holt county, which hus | always been in the lead on the ques ! tion of fusion, the democrats and pop j ulist failed to get together this year, t The leaders planned it this way and i called tho two conventions on the same day at O’Neill, hut wheu the Uine came the rank nnd iile took the hits in their teeth and refused to ho driven further. Tho result is that there are now two full tickets in the lield in that county, representing the two parties. As time progresses it will he found that Holt county is not the only one that has broken away from the fusion fallicy.—Norfolk News. Very few people wear chest pro tectors Ht any time of year, more particularly when the mercury is registering ninety or more in the aliude and the weather reports for the following day are “fair and warmer.” It was therefore unwise in our state officers to spend so much good money for something the boys didn’t need. Some one must have told the governor that pneumonia was caused by lack of covering for the bosom, and ho believed it. (A pop will believe any old thing that doesn’t stand to reason.) The don ning of these strange garments by the state house delegation on their arrivul at the coast was an evidence of good faith, all right enough, but it made them the laughing stock of all San Francisco. The soldiers, it is understood, have not seen, tit to encumber themselves with the new device, yet no cases of pneumonia are developing as u consequence.— Bix. -- As the date of the Sixth congres sional convention draws near the sentiment in favor of Judge Kin kaid’s nomination grows stronger with the people. The Judge’s pop ularity with the masses in his own judicial district has never failed to manifest itself at the polls. When a candidate for judge four years ago he was elected by a majority of 1140 votes when the remainder of the re publican ticket was defeated. He has always been a conservative in politics yet true to the principles and this fact with his fair and un biased rulings on the bench has strengthened his popularity with the masses. His only rival for the nom ination for congress in the republi can ranks up to date, is lawyer Bee man, of Kearney. It is to be hoped that Mr. Bee man will not insist upon his candidacy at this timo as he is not generally known, that Judge Kinkaid may be nominated by acclamation.—Custer Co. Repub lican. Nebraska’s Golden Corn .Crop. It is perhaps difficult for the peo ple of a crowded city to enter into the spirits which now animates tho farmers of Nebraska, and, in fact* all the people of that state. For a month the all absorbing topic of conversation from the Kansas to the Dakota border, and from the Mis souri river to tho Colorado foothills, has been the prospect of rain. “If we have a good rain within two weeks,” said a prosperous mer chant of middle Nebraska early in July, “thefe won’t be lumber euough iu the state to crib our corn.” “If we have a good rain before tho lirst of August,” said another, “Nebraska will be the richest and happiest state in the Union next fall.” A good raiu fell about ten days ngo. Friday tho state was deluged. The corn corp is saved. It iH a crop that covers 8.000. 1KK) acres, aud will yield 300.000. 000 bushels. To say that every drop of the rainfall was worth its weight in gold is au excusable exaggeration, for every drop con tributed toward insuring the safety of the most bountiful crop the state has ever known. Nebraska has passed the time wheu her people placed their solo dependence upon marketing their corn crop. They are now consum ers as well as producers. Corn is uo louger such a weight upon their hands that they can afford to use it | for fuel through the winter months, i Inaddition tobeingoneof t'ie great es'coru states of tlieconntry Nebraska is also one of the greatest cattle states. A largo percentage of her immense acreage in Corn is used to produce feed, and after sufficient is | laid aside for that purpose sho will ! still have an immense marketable | surplus, every bushel of which will , represent a clear protit to her farm j ors. j What the rainfall on Friday | meant for Nebraska can hardly be j estimated in liguies. It will lift j thousands of mortgages,- build aud I improve thousands of homes, buy furniture, clothing, aud farm uten sils, educate thousands of children, save the credit of shopkeepers, bring prosperity to hamlets, villages towns and cities, and make the in telligent and industrious people of the great northwestern common wealths generally prosperous and happy. It means so much for Chicago, for in the end wo shall share largely in the prosperity of a people who are numbered among this city’s best customers.—Chicago Inter-Ocean. METHOD IN HIS MADNESS. Plorlat Controlled the Flowers He Sold for Young Women. “No, air,” said tha florist, “we have no jonquils or buttercups, as you call them. We hare some fine violets, though, and they are cheap for today.” “See here,” replied the prospective pur chaser, according to the Memphis Scim itar, "I have been everywhere and re ceived that same answer. I will buy your violets If you will tell me why florists won’t handle jonquils.” “Oh, we will give them out to a chance cus tomer that comes in here some time, or to a regular customer who has to have them for a special purpose, but wo do not want to sell them to the fellows who come in here after flowers for their best girls. This is the reason: The buttercups will be sent to the girl and she will probably wear them one day, when she goes uptown. Then, when she goes home, if she thinks anything at all of the fellow, or even if she does not, she will put those flowers In water to see how long they will keep. The pesky Jonquils will be as fresh when the young man calls the evening after as when be sent the flowers to her and he will say something In regard to the fact. ‘I'll send you some more to re place those when they wither,’ he says. ‘I think they are so symbolic of the early spring,’ she answers. He mur murs something else and she decides to keep those Jonquils to find how long they will remain fresh. They cohtinue to be fresh for two or three days, and then, whether she cares for the fellow or not, Bhe becomes interested in find ing out when they will wither. They keep and keep any time from a week to ton days and as a result the young man does not buy any more flowers for that time. When the girl goes up town she pins one of those jonquils on and says to her friends, ’Yes, I just wear that one because I have kept it for-days,’ as the case may be. The violets will not stand an hour or two’s steady wearing and the young fellow must come back for a new eupply. That Is why we sell violets in prefer ence to jonquils.” SNAKE OR ROOT? t Cortona Petrifaction Found In Kan* tacky. A strange petrifaction was recently found in Kentucky which closely re sembles a huge rattlesnake. Whether or not it be that is a question upon which scientists are divided. The cu riosity was found by Farmer John N. Brown in the mountainous regions of Wayne county. When he came upon it suddenly he thought It a big live snake and was frightened. But when he saw his mistake he made an examination and decided that the find was worth re moving to his yard, where it now lies. Mr. Brown describes it as follows, say the San Francisco Examiner: "It has a head exactly like a rattler’s head, but is a little largo in proportion to the body—not enough, however, to dis pose of the thory of its having been a snake. Its head measures eight inches across in the widest place. It was 21 feet long when I first got It, but relic hunters have broken off and purloined about three feet of its tail. It is 16 inches in circumference in the largest part of its body, which is some nearer the bead than Ihe tall. It has the natural taper of the snake; in fact, in every particular it resembles a huge rattler in a coiled position.” There are a number of others who agree with Mr. Brown in believing the petrifac tion to be a prehistoric snake, among them Col. S. M. Duncan, a well known Kentucky historian. In opposition to this view is one brought forth by Prof. H. K. Taylor, whose explanation is un doubtedly correct. lie maintains that this wonderful snake-like discovery is a valuable relic of an age of the world about which little is known, but ia petrified vegetable matter and not a reptile. lie claims it is the root of a prehistoric tree i ailed the stiingaria. a root which formed much of the ma terial out of which coal beds were made.

Hidden Beauty In Egypt the custom is for Princesses to hide their beauty by covering the lower part of the face with a veil. In America the beauty of many of our women is hidden because of the weakness ana sickness pecu liar to the sex. If the Egypt ian custom pre vailed in this country, many ■ suffererswould I be glad to I, cover their ^premature ^wrinkles, their sunkencheeks, their unnealthy complexion, from the eyes of the world with the veil of the Orient.
