The republican county convention held in this city lost Friday placed in nomination the strongest ticket that has been presented to tin* voters of Holt county by any political party for a great many years. Each nud every one of the caudi dates entered in the race with a good clean r. cord without spot or blemish and we candidly believe tl»Ht in this year of republican pros perity that they will throw dust in the eyes of their adversaries from start to finish in the race uiouud the kite shaped political track of Holt county. liny McClure, tho uominoe for sheriff, represents tho younger re publican element in this county nnd might properly bo cubed u Holt couuty production, having lived on whut is now his ranch in tho south part of the county nearly nil his life. He is a young man of more than ordinary ability, well qualified for tho oHice and is very popular with the stockmen through tho county who will soe that he is elected by a handsome majority. Patrick Hagerty, candidate for treasurer, is too well and favorably known through Holt couuty to need any introduction at our hands. He was one of the first settlers in the couuty. He has never been a can didate for uny office but has been prominently identified with tho up building of O’Neill and Holt county for the past twenty-four years and we can assure tho voters of this county if elected there will be no “overdrafts” of some $000 in salary account as was shown by Treasurer Henry’s lust statement liled. Liouteuant J. W. Wertz, of Stuart, nominee for county clerk, is another old resident of the county. Ho was at one time connected with this paper and was for a number of years publisher of the Stuart Ledg er. He was a member of tho board of supervisors for two years and has a thorough knowledge of couuty affairs. At the breaking out of the Spauish-Americun war he was one of the first to respond to tho call of President McKinley for men to defend the flag. He was commissioned Second lieutenant, company M, Third Nebraska, in which capacity ho served until the mustering out of the regiment lust Mny. He made a good soldier and every patriotic citizen of Holt couu ty, regardless of party ufHliatiou, should vote for him. Everybody knows “tho old reli able” John Skirving, nominee for clerk of the district court, which office he has tilled the past eight years with credit to himself and the county. An old soldier and a good citizen uud no higher compliment could be paid him by the republi can party of this county than his nomination by acclamation, for a third term, which came to him un solicited. John Kay, the populist nominee for this office, may have driveu some very fast heats with his trotting horse, Shade On, this summer, but in tho vernacular of a turfsmau he is “outclassed” in this race with Mr. Skirviug and he will do well to get inside the distance flag when Skirving comes iu ou the home stretch. G. S. Benson, of Ewing, is the nominee for county judge. Air. Ben son is a gentleman well qualified for the position. He is not an attor ney but has served as justice of the peace for u number of years, aud we will bank dollars to doughnuts that he kuows as much law as the hump of egotism that now presumes to dispense justice iu the county court. J. C. Harnish, nominee for county superintendent, has been a resident of O’Neill the past ten years. He has had oousiderable experience iu school work and is clean, capable ami iu every way qualified to till the important position. It. E. Bowdou, of Agee, candidate for county surveyor, is an old sold ier well known to the voters of Holt couuty. He is a practical surveyor aud well qualified for the office. I. It. Smith, candidate for cor oner, is well and favorably known through the couuty, ns he has been a resident of tho county for 23 years. He st rvod two terms as coroner of Holt county iu the early ’80’s and the experience there guined makes him well qualified for the position. OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN. Hou. M. P. Kiukaid, republican candidate for congress in this (Sixth) district, had his boyhood career in the states of West Virginia, Pennsyl vania and Illinois, lie located in the practice of law in this comity about nineteen years ago, having graduated from the law d< p irtment of the University of Michigan in the class of 1870, and by the choice of his classmates holding the position of class president in the senior year. He was electod a member of the state senate in 1882, his district comprising the counties of Holt, Antelope, Pierce, Wheeler, Garliekl, Valley, and the then uuorgnnized territory now comprising the coun ties of ltock, Brown, Iveya Paha, and a portion of Cherry county. Several of these new counties were formed by bills introduced by him during his senatorial term. By the members of the senate he was made chairman of the judiciary commilteo of that body, the duties of which position, in the estimation of the people he discharged in so creditable a manner as to call atten tion to him as an able constitutional lawyer and a man preeminently well qualified for legislative life, and numerous times since then he has been invited by residents of this district to stand for congress and was, on the 20th inst., nominated by acclamation in a very enthusiastic convention. In 1887 the number of judicial districts were increased, and he was appointed by Governor Thayer as judge for the Twelfth district, being elected for a full four year term in 1888, and re elected in 1801 and in 180o. His record on the bench is second to none in the state, and he is recognized throughout the entire stnte as an able jurist and should the people of this district send him to congress they' can rest assured that they will be represented by a man who will always have in mind the best interests of his constituency and labor earnestly to the end that their wants will not be neglected. His nomination is an honor to Holt county, and her gitizens will loyally come to his support in November. T3E FALLS#CITY PLAN. Seriously it is a good plnn. Per haps every man who rapes a child is deserving of death. But the average man would prefer to lose his head than his dynamo. Laws ought to be made always to discourage and prevent crime, rather than to punish criminals. Prevention is better than execution. Let ns enact the Falls City plan into law, and then rapists will hesitate seven times before transacting business in Nebraska.— Papillion Times. -- Brantley Sturdevaut is ono of Holt’s most progressive and success ful business men and will make a splendid chairman of the county committee. --—.•.#•.«-— The Lynch Sun is a new arrival at our exchange table. Mr. E. G. Miller is the editor and we wish the success to the enterprise that it seems to deserve. The Neligh Advocate has been leased by Henry W. Shaw from the owner, Judson Graves. The voice of the paper will remain, as here tofore, in the defence of the straight republican principles. -.-•*--* No man, political party or any other organization can come down from a high standard of right and justice and bo allied with the im moral and lawless without great loss and alternate defeat. The ticket nominated by the re publican county convention last Fri day is one that commands the re spect of all believers in good gov ernment and should receive a handsome majority nt the polls. What nas become of all the pop defaulting couuty treasurers men tioned last fall ? Has any of them been brought 1o justice? No, not one! Not even Sonator Allen’s son in-law in Platte county, who is short If 13,000 to the state. The pop pa pers seem to have an aversion to prosecuting defaulting pop officials. They act as though it was all right for a pop to ideal all he can lay his hand on or carry away.—Tekamah Herald. The republican congressional con vention for the Sixth district was held at Lexington last Tuesday, and Hon. M P. Kinkaid, of this city, was nominated for congress by acclamation, being placed in nom ination by Frank lineman, of Knar ney. Judge Kinkaid accepted the honor by making one ot the finest speeches ever made in a convention and one that ruised the enthusiasm of the delegates to the highest pitch. It was a great convention, and Judge Kinkaid and the citizens of Holt county have reason to be proud of the honor accorded him when he received the nomination by accla mation. Hurrah for Kinkaid! No pains are being spared to con vince Nebraska people that Governor Poynter succeeded in squaring him self with the First Nebraska boys on his recent junket to the coast. The latest and most ludicrous is the fad adopted by the World-Herald and its imitators of calling the Presidio, where the regiment is quartered, “Camp Poynter.” Even if that were the official designation it would indicate nothing so far as the seai ments of the rank and file of the boys are concerned, for they have absolutely nothing to say about the naming of camps. But there isn’t, never has been and probably never will be a “Camp Poynter.” The Presidio is a permanent military res ervation the same as old Fort Omaha where the Second regiment was mus tered out, and even the World-Her ald didn’t have the nerve to call it “Camp Holcomb.” The boys in that case were too close to the office of publication and a “pied” print shop might have been the result of such a break.—St. Paul Eopulican. An Automatic »rain-Stopper. Among recent Inventions is a device by which the air brakes of a railroad train can be applied from the track, as the train passes, without the interven tion of the engineer. The air-brake system is connected with a lever con trolling a vent in the train-pipe, and attached to the truck at the forward er.d of the locomotive. On passing over an obstruction, placed on the track for the purpose, the lever is tilt ed rnd the vent opened, thus letting the air hrto the brakes. The engineer can reset the lever from his place in the cab. Hard Luck of an Editor. Hero are some of the terrible thing3 which, according to a country ex change, are likely.to befall a delin quent: Last week a delinquent sub scriber said that he would pay up Sat urday If he lived. He’s dead. Another, “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He’s blind. Still another one said, “I hope to pay you this week or go to the devil.” He’s gone. There are hundreds who ought to take warning by these pro crastinators and pay up their sub scriptions now.—Jerry Simpson’s Bay onet. Forgot the Combination. A man with a poor memory dwells in McPherson, Kan. After buying a safe for the storing cf valuables, he penciled the combination on the plas tered wall near the safe. A few dayd later he sent a calciminer to white wash the walls, and, of course, the pen ciled figures were obliterated. He had to have the safe blown open, and his wife blew him up for his stupidity.— Pittsburg Dispatch. Two Simple Remedies for Coughs. Boil a lemon in water for a quarter of an hour. Then press the pulp in a jar and mix with it a quarter pound of honey. Take a teaspoonful occasion ally. Dissolve one ounce of gum ara bic and a quarter pound of sugar candy in one pint of water. Add a little lemon juice and a piece of rind cut very fine A teaspoonful taken at bedtime will often allay tickling and irritation. Ptomaine Poisoning. A violent discussion in regard to pto maine poisoning is now raging. It has, indeed, grown so fierce that manufac turers have found it necessary to em ploy counter-irritants and are novt casting suspicion on those formerly in nocent dishes, cold boile-l potatoes mJ cold rice pudding.

The last time I had twins, and was in labor only a few min utes. Suffered very little.” The reason why Mother’s Friend does expectant mothers so much good is because it is an external liniment, to be applied upon the outside, where much of the strain comes. It helps be cause the pores of the skin readily absorb it, and it comes into direct contact with and is absorbed by the parts involved. Morning sickness is quickly banished, and nervousness is kept completely away. The sense of dread and foreboding is not experienced, even during labor itself. Confinement is short and aknost without pain. Recovery is quick and sure. Best of all, Mother’s Friend benefits the unborn just as much as the expectant mother, and when the little one comes it will be strong, lusty and healthy.
