The theory of the scienitfic relation
of alfalfa,|“certaln” fungus and prairie
dogs is a little mysterious to say the
least.

There may have been something in
the name that a Missouri Pacific train
from St. Louis to Kansas City should
be wrecked at “Deadman’s Curve”
and a mumber of imssengers killed
and wounded.
A recent census of Chicago gives
tire city a population exceeding 2,200,
000, and it takes over 7,000 licensed
saloons to feed the liquor appetite,
which keeps a pretty even pace with
ihe population.
The United States entering horri
fied protests against sinister racial
wrongs ten thousand miles away
with the blue smoke of burning
negroes curling skyward every few
days at home , is about as consistent
as some other things in this vain and
sinful world.
Justice Brewer of the United States
supreme court, is quoted assaying:
“Every man who participates in the
lynching or burning of a negro is a
murderer pure and simple.” The
courts looking at it In that light, the
next step in ridding the country of tills
specie of anarchy is to apprehend the
participants.
Crab Ochard News: The law mak
ing it a misdemeanor punishable by a
line and imprisonment for a minor to
use tobacco in any form, went into
effect July 1. It is also contrary to
the law to sell or furnish a minor
witli tobacco in any form. This is
pretty tough on the kids, who have
already formed the habit, but it’s dol
lars to cigarette stubs that the law
will not lie enforced in ninety-nine
cases out of a hundred.
Your liberal estimate is yet too
small. 'Tis a fool law that no minion
thereof has any intention of ever en
forcing. Ninety-nine out of a hundred
tobacco devotees began before tiie
Nebraska voting and smoking age
and another precept added to the
statutes will hardly eradicate an
evil that continues to be. inculcated
by example.

Omaha Bee: Nebraska’s state trea
surer is again facing the prospective
dilemma of having more money in the
permanent school funds on hand than
he can tind places of investment war
ranted by law. The constitutional
provision relating to the investment
of school money should be extended
to include approved bonds legally
issued by cities and school districts in
the state that have not defaulted on
interest. With such a provision the
state treasurer would have no repeti
tion of his present embarrassment
and both the state and the municipal
subdivisions would be the gainers in
the interest saving, which they would
divide, instead of donating as now to
eastern bond brokers.
The esteemed Independent is touch
ed in a very tender spot whenever tax
lien foreclosures are mentioned. The
Independent editor’s name lias been
attached to a great many of these tax
cases, but The Frontier wouldn’t sug
gest that this is why the Independent
jumps to*its feet to call the supreme
court down for expressing an opinion
wldch militates against the forclosures
as tlicy have been in Holt county.
The tax payers are familiar with the
scandalous land grabbing carried or
by thesyndicatclof populists at O’Neill
under the pretext of collecting taxes
when hundreds of acres were wrong
fully acquired at a very nomina
figure, and the syndicate, after getting
much of the vacant land under its
control, demanding trust prices from
farmers and stock men; they are
familiar with the excessive and uncall
ed for costs in these cases, and now
that the supreme court points out
clearly that “the remedy for the en
forcement of taxes upon real estate
by foreclosure of the tax deed or tax
sale certificate is adequate and suffic
ient, and must therefore be regarded
as exclusive” the Independent's de
fense sounds all the more absurd.
A North Dakota editor writes:
“Drink water and you get typhoid,
drink milk and you get tuberculosis,
drink whisky and you get jimjams,
eat width flour and get appendicitis,
eat soup and get Bright’s disease, eat
beef and encourage apoplexy, eat
oysters and acquire toxemia, eat meat
of any kind and get indigestion or
some kind of germ disease, eat vegeta
bles and weaken the system, eat des
serts and take on paresis, smoke
cigars and secure catarrh, drink coffee
or tea and obtain nervous prostration,
dring wine and get the gout. In order
to be entirely healthy one must eat
nothing, drink nothing, smoke noth
ing, and before breathing one should
see that the air is properly sterilized.”

The Howells Journal says that some
may doubt the statement that there
is money in poultry, but J. W. Kucera
of Stonton county is not of the num
ber. Wednesday he marketed a dozen
spring chickens that weighed an even
thirty-four pounds and brought him
fifteen cents per pounds—$5.10 isn’t
bad for a dozen spring chickens.

Hastings Tribune: Theodore Burr
of Juniata is lying in the county
bastile in this city awaiting trial at
the next term of the district court on
the Charge of stealing goods and cash
from his father’s store in Juniata.
Young Burr is a graduate of tire
Juniata high school and in that town
is regarded as being a very bright
young man, and his downfall is there
universally regretted. The elder Burr
purchased the business at Juniata a
short time ago supposedly to give to
his son, however, he continued it on
his own name and employed the young
man as clerk. Valuables disappeared
from time to time until at last un
doubted evidence pointed to the
young man as culprit. His father
then gave him a stated numoer of
days to leave the country, and on his
failure to do so he was apprehended.
He was testified against by his father,
mother, and sister.

Danger of Colds and Grin.
The greatest danger from colds and
grip is their resulting in pneumonia.
If reasonable care is used, however,
and Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
I taken, all danger will avoided.
Among the tens of thousands who
have used this remedy for these dis
eases we have yet to learn of a single
case having resulted in pneumonia,
which shows conclusively that it is a
certain preventive of that dangerous
disease. It will cure a cold or an at
tack of the grip in less time than any
other treatment. It is pleasant and
