There is raving and tearing of hair
In the camp of the pops. Tire party
that once claimed the county unani
mous has been horsed about till they
have only a piece of a ticket to offer
the voters. ^
On the eve of another campaign we
are told that a bullet proof vest
has been devised that will shed balls
from a 44 like an armored cruiser re

candidates to order a supply.
A _
The World-Herald being knocked
into a cocked hat by a single, body
blow from the Sioux City Journal re
packing democratic ‘‘reorganization,”
immediately turned its attention
again to the ‘‘railroad tool”phantlom.
Judge Barnes—by the way, an ex
ceptionally good man for the place—
was nominated for supreme Judge at
the republican convention as expected.
The pops will now yell louder than
ever, but their yell has losts its terror.
It would have been the same with
them who ever had been nominated.
Justice Brewer of the United States
supreme court hands down as his
opinion that if there was less techni
calities and swifter legal retribution
the lynch question would solve itself.
He also advocates doing away with the
fashion of appeals in criminal cases.
The Frontier would submit as its
humble opinion that a law applying
the surgical knife to a certain class
which find their way to the whisling
post or to the stake would certainly
reduce the number of candidates for
the cruel mob, although it would en
tail a number of human geldings till
the system had eradicated the evil.
In other words, tax an emasculation
amendment to the rapist law.
President Roosevelt does and says a
good many things that continue to
endear himto the heartsof hiscountry
men. Here is one of his latest respect
ing the ideal man: ‘‘I want to see
every man able to hold his own with
the strong, and also ashamed to op
press the weak. I want to see the
young man able to do a man’s work
in this world, and of a type which wil
not permit imposition to be practicec
upon him. I want to see him to<
strong of spirit to submit to wrong
and, on the other hand, ashamed to d<
worng to others. I want to see eacl
man able to hold his own in the rougl
work of actual life outside, and also
when he is at home, -a good man, un
selfish.ln dealing with wife,or mother
or children. Remember that thi
preaching does not count if it is no
backed up by practice.”
THE CONVENTION
It has been a good many years since
a republican convention in Holt
county made the showing that the
one held Monday made. In other
words, it was the biggest convention
Holt county republicans have held
since the reverses and disasters of the
early ‘90’s.
An encouraging sign, and one that
denotes a political trend republican
ward even greater than has been
claimed, was the presence in the con
vention as delegates of men who form
erly were prominently identified
with the populist movement. Defec
tions of honest men from the ranks of
a reform party now largely controlled
by corrupt demagogues and gentle
faced, soft-voiced hypocrites have
been fast and numerous in late years,
and our convention just held, fellow
republicans, demonstrates that repub
lican principles are still in public favor.
Now, then, it is only by honesty, a
clean administration In every particu
lar, that we can hope to retain the
public favor. To these principles,
and upon such a platform, are the
candidates nominated Monday pledg
ed.
me ticket is maue up or as strong,
clean and capable men as there are In
the county; the party is united, and
every man who claims to be a republi
can has no reason this year to refuse
to vote his ticket straight.
The candidates for clerk, sheriff and
fclerk of the court are known through
out the county, as they have held
their respective offices long enough to
establish their capability and honesty.
For treasurer we have J. J. Stilson of
Atkinson, an old and much respected
citizen and substantial business man,
who would without doubt make an
ideal official. C. J. Malone of Inman
for superintendent has been in educa
tional work for years, and while a
Holt county man, has held important
school positions in various Nebraska
towns, and he affords the people of
Holt county the best opportunity they
have had for a good many years to put
a competent man in the superinten
dent’s office. William Clevish for
judge Is an old soldier and known by
all the old settlers. Tyler Scriven
for assessor is one of the substantial
farmers of southern Holt and his
selection for this important office was
a wise one.
The party is In a good shape to
make a clean sweep at the polls.
ROOSEVELT AND WALL STREET
Philadelphia Ledger, Ind : The
“plain people” have never loved Wall
street overmuch; they love It less to
day probably than ever before, and
let it publicly proclaim that it is op
posed to the candidacy of President
Roosevelt in 190i if it would elect him
by a larger plurality vote than ever a
presidential candidate received. Let
it make the shibboleth of the camp
aign:
“Wall street againts Roosevelt,”
and therefrom learn that Wall street
had thereby plunged itself into politi
cal liquidation.
The greatest advantage which
Theodore Roosevelt could gain as a
presidential aspirant would be crea
tion of a popular belief that Wall
street opposed him. It would be as if
the whole country, from Main to the
Gulf of Mexico and from Washington
California, were in opposition to that
narrow, short New York byway. If
Wall street does not wish Mr. Roose
velt to be elected president next year,
let it maintain a discreet reserve
anent its wish. Otherwise Wall street
is likely to become the most potent
factor in his overwhelming victory.
NEBRASKA NEW S NOTES.
Saunders county has voted bonds to
build an $85,000 courthouse at Wahoo,
the county seat.
Two boys living near Beatrice cap
tured two red fox, the only ones ever
known in that section.
One thousand dollars was stolen

P. E. McKillip was fined $25 by the
district court for killing prairie chick
' ens, and he has appealed the case to
1 the supreme court.
1 Ainsworth Star-Journal: Range
, men in the western part of the state
. are still worrying over the rapid
spreed of what they call “poverty”
[ grass. This grass is much more plenti
! ful this year than ever before. Being
- an early plant it gets ahead of the
buffalo and other desirable grasses and
prevents their starting. Stock will
not eat poverty grass and it is utterly
worthless.
As a result of personal differences
between the Nebraska Telephone
company of Omaha and the Farmers’
Telephone company of Hooper, four
miles of wire on the latters’ line near
Hooper were cut Monday, by, it is
alleged, linemen of the Omaha com
pany.
Ainsworth Star-Journal: While
helping herfather in the harvest field,
last Saturday evening, the little
daughter of Jack Anderson, living
some eighteen miles north of Ains
worth was bitten twice on the foot by
a rattle snake. She was taken to the
house and medical assistance sum
moned, but she became rapidly worse,
dying about noon, Sunday, August
9th, amidst intense agony.
The 7-year-old son of a farmer named
Ilille, living near Hadar. in Madison
county, died yesterday morning from
lockjaw. The convulsions were caused
by stepping upon a stuble in the field
twelve days ago. Since then the little
fellow had become apparently well,
but cold set in and the nerves were so
affected that he could not be saved.
He had suffered from the convulsions
twentyfour hours before a physician
was summoned.
From reports coming into tne insu
rance auditor’s offce the indications
are some of the mutual hail insurance
companies recently organized in the
state will be unable to meet the de
mands made upon them. There are
six of these companies operating in
Nebraska and the heavy hail storms
which have prevailed over the state
will tax their resources heavily. In
surance Auditor Pierce thinks that it
looks rather dubious for the com
panies, with the exception of the one
located in Omaha.
Fred Schroeder, a farmer living
near Plattsmouth, lost the price of a
load of corn recently as a result of
placing too much confidence in his
hired man, who was a stranger. The
man was sent to town with a load of
corn. After selling the corn he cashed
the check, which was made out in his
awn name, and then tried to dispose
Df the team. Failing to sell the team,
he decided that it was to his advan
tage to take the first train out of
town, which he did, and is now num
bered among the missing.
Valentine Republican: Valentine
saw its first automobile this week.
The machine was a heavy Rambler
gasoline car owned by H. O. Jackson,
of Omaha, who is making a tour of
the state. Around the streets it flew
making a buzzing noise, leaving in
wake an odor of gasoline and seeming
ly conscious of its own importance
and the attention it attracted from
the populace. Horses shied, dogs
barked and the Indians kept at a re
spectful distance not seeming to un
derstand this strange thing.
As the result ot a drunken spree
and a quarrel early yesterday morning,
Charles Balliet is dead and Alex
Blair, his stepson, is in the Hart
ington jail, by his own confession
charged with the crime. The mur
der occurred three miles northwest
of St. Helena, at the home of the
murdered man. The verdict of the
coroner’s jury was that Charles Balliet
came to his death by a blow from the
list of Alex Blair. Blair made no
effort to escape and was arrested and
taken to Hartington by Coroner Rei
fert. Balliet was about 60 years old
and leaves a wife and several children.
Blair is unmarried.
William Gossett of Fall City has
Just received a patent upon what he
terms Gossett’s antislide and com
pound wheel and rail brake. It is a
wedge-like shoe that works on the
rails just in front of the wheels gwith
such force that in connection with
the wheel brake it brings the car to a
sudden stop. The wheel and track
brakes are independent of one another
the track brake only to be used in
cases of emergency. An Omaha street
railway man gave the device a test
and expressed himself as being well
satisfied with it and is of the opinion
that it is just the thing required to
insure safety in street railway service.
