It is no discredit to a man to have
enemies and opposition. Many men
hesitate to take any course that will
call forth the opposition of any person
because they do not want to have ene
mies. The world is full of envious
people. Some people hate a man be
cause he is successful in business oi
occupies a prominent position in the
community. The world has no ani
mosity toward the quiet citizen whc
offends no one, get in noltody’s way.
It is the live men of push and energy,
who incur enmity. Every man who is
fearless in the discharge of his .obiiga
, tion in any station in life has ene
mies.—-Auburn Granger.

I
York Times: the complicated ver
bosity of law pleading is the caused
considerable sport, even in these mod
ern Limes, when pleadings have been
remodeled and lialf-civilzed. To read
the old forms of a hundred years ago
and more is very amusing. In Llien
elforLsto avoid all chance of misunder
standing and misconstruction the old
lawyers strove to make terms plain by
reiteration and explanation and du
plication. They explained compara
tively plain assertions by the use d
long obscure ones and repeated and
went backward and forward over the
same ground again and again until
they became not only wearisome but
disgusting. Of course a judge who
lias common sense can understand a
plain statement of fact as well as any
body else who lias a like amount of
common sense, but judges wore not
supposed nor even allowed to have
common sense. If the indictment
charged that “John Jones shot Wil
liam Smith in the back, with a shot
gun from the effects of which Smith
died in about an hour, that the crime
was com mi ted intentionally and mali
ciously by Jones, and was murder,”
tile court and the people would under
stand what was meant and there
would be no reasonable chance to
cavil. There is no use of going
through a dozen lines of “then being”
and “there being” in regard to each
party separately. Everybody would
know Jones was there and Smith was
not far away at that very time. There
is little strength added to the charge
by alleging that said John Jones did
it unlawfully, for everybody knows
murder is unlawful, nor that lie did it
feloniously, nor that he wounded him
when he shot him dead, nor that lie
committed the crime upon the body
of said William Smith. Hut the old
forms repeat these allegations and
specilications in solemn detail over
and over and over again, until sensi
ble people would surely have thought
it all a joke had not the old wigs treat
ed it with such grave solemnity. The
time will surely come when all that is
left to this folderoi will be eliminated
| and charge will lie that the accused
; murdered his victim and tlie court
i will be left to surmise that the killing
was accompanied by the details ttiat
| constitute the crime.

In County Court.
Tlie trial of M. J. Enright. P. F.
Thompson and T. II. Parks, charged
with illegal voting at the recent
municipal election, was held before.
Judge .Morgan last Tuesday. The
County Attorney and It. R. Dickson
appeared for the prosecution. While
M. I''. Harrington conducted the
defence.
From tlie statement made by the !
county attorney to the judge tt was
■vident that- Ids heart was not in the |
prosecution and lie apparently apoli
gized for tlie bringing of the cases,
stating that they were brought with
out Ills knowledge while lie was absent
from the city.
The evidence introduced all tended
to show that t he defendants, all ex
cept Parks, had resided In tlie ward
in which they had voted ten days
prior to tlie election, and although
the statute provides that in munici
pal elections the voter must have
actually resided In the ward three
months prior to tlie election before lie
becomes a legal voter in said ward,
the attorney for tlie defense claimed
their wuss no penalty attached to a
vioiat ion of that section of Hie st ltd u;e
I'lie jury took that view of the ease
and brought, in a verdict of not guilt,\
in tlie case of Enright and Tliomp
s in, hut found Parks guilty as charged
in the second count the corn plaint
Parks resided in the First ward and
about noon election day went to the
polling place in that ward to vote.
One of the Judges of election told him
a challenge was left there for him and
if he voted in that ward he would
have to swear his vote in. Parks
evidently did not like to do that and
lie left tlie polling place and shortly
thereat tecs went to the polling place
in the Second ward, and not being
challenged voted. As lie had not re
sided in Die ward ten days as provided
in tlie general election laws, lie was
found guilty. Tlie court lined him
$25 and cost $14.95, amounting in all
to $39.95.
Thus ends the first cases brought in
Holt county for illegal voting and the
result is gratifying to all citizens wiio
desire, a pure Ik.IIoI and honest elec
tions. 'I bis is but a starter and
while there lias been lint one convic
tion In four cases still we are of the
opinion that the lessons taught will
have a wholesome ell'eet upon num
erous gentlemen in O’Neill and vicin
ity to whom tlie motto ‘‘honesty in
politics” is an unknown one. The
citizens of O’Neill are thoroughly
aroused and propose hereafter to ar
rest and prosecute every violator of
the election laws whether jew or gen
tile, rich or poor. Fair elections and
an honest count is all that citizens
asks and that they have a right to ex
pect and will have if the laws of Neb
raska can give it to them.
Treatment for Ergot Poisoning.
Columbus Telegram: Alter an ex
perience face to face with the pre
valent “hoof” disease In cattle C. Jl.
Sheldon lias come to the conclusion
that many of the heavy cattle losses
by t he disease during the past winter
have been duo to the negligence of
the owners in giving prompt and pro
per treatment. More than a week
ago thirty-four bead of cattle in his
herd began to develop the disease.
None have died, and today nearly all
have quite recovered from the trouble.
As a result of his observation Mr. Shel
don says the elfeet produced by ergot
poisioning apparently is a dogging of
the circulation in the extremities,
and in treatment of the disease he has
acted upon this theory. Corn is
known to be a good blood stimulant,
and after lie has changed the hay he
puts the cattle on a good grain ration.
A local antiseptic liniment is applied
to the hoofs, lie says the stock shows
improvement after the third day on
this kind of treatment. Among the
losses sustained by the hoof disease in
this vicinity thatof Kummer brothers
is perhaps the largest. The latest re
from tiic Kummer ranch says that
forty-seven head of cattle have died,
and that, forty more will not recover.
Another instance of note is the loss
! of Adam Smith, whose herd of thirty
i two head lias been reduced to two.
