There are many things congress
shouldn’t do, but about the worst
thing it could do is to monkey with
the tariff.

The Atkinson Graphic came to
our table last week looking familiar.
The Plain Dealor was sold to A. M.
Church of the Naper News, who
effected the change in name. Holt
county had an Atkinson Graphic for
many years and the revival of the
name seems like the return of an old
friend. With the change of name
came a change of politics. The
Graphic will be republican. Mr.
Church is a good newspaper man
is not a stranger to Holt county as
he published the Stuart Ledgsr
previous to going to Naper, and The
Frontier extends welcome upon his
return.
An eastern gentleman is interest
ing himself in the landable enterprise
of fouuding a community for the
purpose of bring out a better grade
of men and women in the three-fold
sense of physical, moral and in
tellectual. His idea is the interest
philantrophists and have them endow
likely yonng couples with sufficient
means to enable them to carry out
a mode of life which will be most
conducive to these higher attain
ments. Marriage and rearing of
children is to be encouraged and
eaoh succeeding generation is hoped
to be an improvement over the last.
In other words, a system of “breed
ing up” as stock raisers have adopt
ed. Its a good work, and it should
not be confined to any community,
but be a part of every body’s pur
pose in life.
The president’s message—may
yon have got through reading it—
was a surprise to his friends and a
body-blow to his enemies. Unlike
the rash and daring adventures
that characterized the president’s
military career, his message is dear,
candid and temperate in the dis
cussion of national questions, with
no symptemB of a desire to avoid
any. His counsel to avoid the
obstruction of the onward march
of oommeroe by unnecessiarily
hampering men of large business
aotivity, whose success means so
much to each individual, is well
given. There is a growing confidence
in the ability of the president to
admiqister the high office to which
he has acoidently been called,in an
able and satisfactory way, and this,
with the belief that cougress will do
nothing to disturb commercial in
terests in a sense to destroy pros
perity, assures the publio that every
encouragement will be given by the
government to the ligitimate ex
pansion of business.
Fremont Tribune: The semi
annual report of State Auditor
Weston, just given to the public,
shows the state to have a debt ex
ceeding by a trifle the large sum of
$2,000,000. It also discloses the
fact that the debt is gradually grow
ing at the uniform rate of $10(>,00l>
a year. It is precisely for this
reason, which the auditor's report
emphasizes, that the Tribune has
opposed the expenditure of a large
sum of money for making an exhibit
at the St. Louis exposition. It is
time the state was taking more in
terest in getting out of debt and
less in getting in. There are neces
sities that must be provided. These
absord the whole power of the state
to pay, and more. It is folly and
recklessness to drift along and add
to the burden by frequent and large
expenditures for mere show. The
prudent man who is heavily involved
will stay away from fashionable
functions where his old serviceable
clothes cannot be worn. He will
not invest in fineries and flummeries
while unable to meet his notes and
interest. The state should exercise
a little of the same sort of common
sense for a whila But it will not.
Resolutions of Respect.
Whereas, in the wise and ever mysteri
ous dispensation of Providence, the
grim messenger has again invaded our
ranks, claimed another member of our
fraternity, and desolated a home by the
removal from our midst of fellow citizon,
friend and brother, County Judge
Clarence Belah; with becoming gravity
and solemnity, we lay upon the alter,
such tribute of affection, and such proof
of our commendation, as the virtues of
the departed demand at our hands; and
while we may not perhaps properly, at
this lime, eulogize, or weave garlands
of praise for the falien, nor throw the
incense of adulation upou his bier, or
the urn which shall enclose his ashes,
yet in a review of a life though short,
vet full of good works, the mere recital
of facts must necessarily bear the semb
lance of culogium; and, while we thus
pay the offices of respect and affection
to our departed brother, being by his
early demise again reminded that,
“Men drop so fast ere life’s mid-stage we
tread, Pew know so many friends alive
as dead," weinay profitably draw from
the visitation which lias stricken him
down, such lessons as are calculated to
teach us what shadow s arc, and what
shadows we are, and what shadows we
pursue,
Vigor and constancy of good conduct,
equality of temper, serenity of liis
aspect, his contempt of fame, t lie
generous ambition he had to he per
fectly master of himself and of his
business, were among his characteristics
and traits of character.
Nothing that he laid hold of was dis
missed till lie had looked it through and
viewed it on ail sides; never in so much
of a hurry as to slight the matter engag
ing his attention. He was a judge ot
men and manners, but not of a repri
manding disposition, not eusily swerved
or frightened from the path of duty as
he saw it, not over suspicious, not a
sophist; his disposition was patient, in
his friendship, steady, and agreeable in
his manner of allowing it. Entertaining
strong convictious and pronounced
views on all questions presented for his
consideration, with the courage of his
convictions he expressed his views
freely nnd courteously, and while ever
ready and spirited, and on occasion his
pen dripping with caustic sarcasm and
keen retort, yet in a face to face oral
encounter, while alert in every fiber,
and prompt in vindioation, he would not
permit the rancorous animosities of
politics to disturb his equanimity, nor
would lie voluntarily resort, or permit
liiuiBelf to be driven to the alternative of
a morbid mind—the easy but unprofita
ble contest of retaliating in kind or re
torting sarcasm nnd inspiring prejudice,
which would only double the evil in
stead of redressing the wrong; nnd
though perhaps sometimes moved to ex
cusable indignation, would uot be fret
ted into pestulauce,but always accorded
to his opponent all freedom to contradict
him and was pleased witli the proposal
of a better expedient than his own.
With broad nnd liberal views, and a
wide range of classified knowledg, he
loved the solitude of the student rather
than the gilded palace, and the arts of
pence rather than the glory of war.
lu his official capacity, upright, and
without fear,favor or prejudice, holding
the scale uf justice in equal poise, he
gave to every man his just due as he
saw it, without distinction.
Generous to a fault, be was one to
whom the burdened heart might pour
out its sorrows, to whom distress might
prefer its kuit, whose hand was guided
by justice nnd whose heart was expand
ed by benevolence, regarding his
neighbor as being entitled witli himself,
to share the blessings of providence,
and rendering unto him such favors
and friendly offices, ns, in the same
situation he would expect to receive
from him; in the slate, a peaceable and
quiet citizen, uot countenancing dis
loyalty or rebellion, hut patiently sub
mitting to the mngisteral authority of
the land iu which he lived, and conform
ing with cheerfulness to the goverment
to whose laws himself looked for pro
tection.
VV c speak or Inin as we knew Lain
in daily contact, and under all the
varied circumstances and pbas-s of life,
and realize that the grave is the ordeal
of true affection, it is there that the
divine passion of the soul manifests its
superiority to the instinctive impulse of
mere animat attachment which must he
continually kept alive by the presence
of its object, but the love that is seated
in the soul can live on long remem
brance.
Sorrow for the dead is the ouly sorrow
from which we refuse to be divorced;
every other wound we seek to heal,
every other affliction to forget, but Ibis
wound we consider it a duly to keep
open, Ibis affliction we cherish and
brood over in solitude. The grave
buries every eiror and covers every de
fect, extinguishes every resentment;
from its peaceful bosom spring none
but fond regiets aud tender recollections.
Of the departed it may be truthfully
said, “His life was gentle, and the
elements so mixed in him, that
nature might stand up anil say to
all the world, This was a man.”
And whereas, at the close of a short
but busy life, the departed lias left tia
an example worthy of emulation in the
purity of his motives, untarnished
honor, and the uprightness of character,
and the zeal with which he performed
the duties incumbent upon him as hits
baud, father, son. brother, neighbor,
and cinz jo.
Therefore, belt resolved by the Holt
county Bar association that, in tha
death ef Judge Selab, the bereaved com
panion and son have lost a considerate,
affactionate and devoted husband, and
a kind and indulgent father, and in this
hour of their afflictive bereavement we
tender to them, and all the relatives of
the depatted, our sincere and heartfelt
sympathy in the loss we have all sus
tai ned.
And resolved, that the bar has sustain
ed the loss of n worthy, dignified and
honorable member, and the community
and county at large an honorable, faith
ful and efficient officer.
And resolved, further, that while we
regretfully consign the remains of our
brother to the elements from whicn it
came, we also commend the relatives to
the compassion and clemency of the
great Jrnige whose decisions are
without error and final, and who notes
even the fall of a sparrow.
liesolved. that these resolutions he
spread at length upon the journal of the
district court of Holt county, a copy
presented to the surviving companion
and son, and a copy furnished to each
of the city papers for publication.

There is a good deal of railroad talk
indulged in just now by newspaper men
of Holt and Boyd counties. A variety
of schemes are being discussed with the
same general object in view of giving
the territory north of the Elkborn better
railroad accomodations. While the
building of railroads is generally pre
ceded by more or less agitation, it is
very risky business to plan commercial
affairs on the railroad theory until you
bear the toot of the engine. The Atkin
son & Northern, which A. O. Perry has
been laboring for construction the past
four or five years, seems to be shaping
affairs for early penitration of Boyd
county from Atkinson, The comple
tion of the grading to the river this
month is promised. Mr. Perry was in
Sioux City last week in conferense with
T A. Harris, vice-presideut. and L B.
Allen, superintendent, and arrange
ments were made for Mr. Harris to go
to St. Paul upon the return from the
east of Abel Anderson, trustee of the
bondholders, to confer with Northern
officials relative to the exleution of the
Short Line to Atkinson to connect with
the Atkinson and Boyd county road.
If the Northern takes hold of this pro
ject it will be carried farther than the
Niobrara river or Butte. They no doubt
will push on into the Black Utils.
Another source of relief to which Boyd
county is looking is the Northwestern,
extention of the Verdigris to Niobrara,
thence into Boyd county, through
Lynch, Spencer and Butte.

F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS;
Baltimore, Md.. March 30, 1901,
Gentlemen : — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you
a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion.
About five years ago my right car began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num
ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that
only an operation could" help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever.
I then saw your advertisement acciden ally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat
ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and
to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily and beg to retnaiu Very truly yours.
