Between pleagues and earthquakes India is a good place to stay away from. Holt county leads the state in th< shipment of hay, as well as in politl cal sensations. Medical experts always tell you that “if you had waited a day longer you would have been a dead man." The republican majority will only be the greater in Holt county by not having an election for another year. President Castro is respectfully notified that Uncle Sam has ordered his bayonets made six inches longer. To an abservant westerner the “yel low peril” In the far east is preferable to the avidity of the rapacious Rus. All of The Frontier’s exchanges are arriving regularly, notwithstanding the castigations of a recent state legis lature. Nobody has seen Mayor Harrington since election. Has he gone away to weep and bury the “resolutions and motions” he was going to present to the “big duffer?” Japan has little the best of it in fleets. She has much the best of it in lighting qualifications. Put the two together and the Russian outlook for the impending naval conflict isn’t the brightest. Police officers in a California city put a woman witness in the “sweat box” and she became a mental and physical wreck from the severity of the “sweating.” Now, who will “sweat” the police? Judge Dunne, the newly elected mayor of Chicago, is going to proceed to give the country an object lesson on municipal ownership. The newly elected mayor of O’Neill is going to give us an object lesson in municipal reform. The farmers on the rural route which starts from O’Neill Saturday will have the accomodation and con venience of daily mail delivered to their door as the result of having a congressman who looks after the in - terests of the people. A Rev. Mr. Stone in an Illinois town was peppered with odorous eggs be cause he was ripping up some of the bad nests of the town. It requires some ner/e to tackle a'den of polecats, but a man can always take a bath and change clothing when he gets through. The people want railroad legisla tion and are going to have it. The recent legislature had a chance tc enact laws fair and reasonable to both railroads and people and failed. Now there is danger of having a legislature that will do something radical, some thing worse than nothing. But the people want railroad legislation. , Lincoln Star: The Clarkson Herald must be deficient in the sense ol humor. The Herald takes the Hon, M. F. Harrington seriously, saying that he “has a bad case of anti-rail road fever.” Bless you, it is not real fever at all but purely oratorical, purely a case of political malingering, Harrington in fact has perfect control of his pulse and temperature. He can at a moment’s warning, whenever it seems profitable, produce in his own proper person all the symptoms of pro found love of the dear people and ol the most rabid railroad phobia. He -can throw fits to beat the band. Har rington is cunning, and it must not be • I supposed that he would not get or famously with the railroads or an.i " other old sort of octopus if he coulc get into position where he would have to be seen. There is absolutely noth , ing serious or genuine in his “anti railroad fever.” That’s his stock ir trade. “ The government of France takes i ' different view of what should be done with the aged than that advanced bi ajlearned American doctor. Superan ! uated working men of France are tc be pensioned. To the Frenchmer this will probably solve the universa ' question, IIow am 1 to live when 1 grow old'/ That is, if the government : will be able to maintain so extensive a benevolence. The best way to pro vide for old lage is to lay up some ol your earnings while young. The Omaha Bee says “practically all of the depositors of the failed Elkhorn Valley bank” at O’Neill “filed petitions in the district court for damages against Fred Whitte more.” As but one depositor out of over one hundred and eighty tiled a petition somebody must have had a tip that this was the program of the attorneys, but a hitch was caused by the balking depositors. A man can not make good a felon’s escape and then expect to turn the wrath of those who were looted onto some other fellow. The Bee’s reputation for accuracy will create a false im pression many places if its figures are not revised. Will Produce Silk If plans which he has laid out are followed, Secretary Wilson of the de partment of agriculture believes that before many years the United States will produce practically all of the silk used in this country, for which it an nually pays out millions of dollars to France and Italy and other southern European countries. The secretary’s plans along this line are not merely in a tentative state. The machinery of his department was put in motion some time ago, and the results are al ready apparent. It is safe to say that very few peo ple in the United States, and a com paratively small number even in the national capital, knows that in one of the buildings near the main structure of the department of agriculture an improved silk reeling machine is in operation: that five American girls, as expert silk reelers as can be found in France, are at work every day; that hundreds of skeins of glossy silk, ready for the loom, have already been turned out by their hands, and that experts have pronounced the products as fine any that is now imported from France. The mere fact that cocoon silk can be reeled in this country as expertly as in the great silk worm district of France is not only encouraging feature of the department’s attempt to create a new industry in the United States* The silk worm, as is well known, feeds from the leaves of the mulberry tree. The experts of the department have learned to their absolute satisfaction that mulberry trees will live and thrive in almost any part of the United States. Secretary Wilson is sending out let ters daily to growers and planters all over the United States calling atten tion to the work of the department up to date in its efforts to create a new American industry, and pointing out the advantages and benefits, financial and otherwise, to be derived . from silk worm culture. These let . ters so far have been distributed prin cipally throughout the Southern ' states, and in a few days the the first shipments of silk worm eggs will be * made to those in that section of the country who own groups or groves of mulberry trees, and who express a ' desire to attempt silk production, i There was no use in producing cocoons > when there was no market for them, , and there could be no market until an organized effort was made to introduce worm culture and instruct in silk 1 reeling at the same time. Now the ■ agricultural department has under 5 taken this work, it is believed, with splendid prospects of success. The American girls who are reeling silk at I the agricultural department were instructed by two experts, who were brought from France by the depart • ment for the purpose. r --- Senator pettus of Alabama is 81 j ye^s old and has never been known to take medicine since going to Wash* ’ ington. “How do you keep so well1?’’ ■ asked Sergcant-at-Arms Ransdell, 1 who has a little opothecary shop for i the benefit of senators. “Don’t you t ever see a doctor. ” “Oh, yes, I see a doctor,” Senator Pettus said. “I go 1 and talk with my physician frequently. He gives me perscriptions and I never have ’em filled, consequently I always feel good.” Mayor Allen G. Fisher of Chadron was reelected by one vote. hi ^i^^^3i^99i^^-<-u- ” |)BE8MMiBiWBlBjgBHw^^M $( r The most fastidious critic will pronounce our line of spring and I M H jj summer goods equal to the demands of fashion, and excelling in 9 . 1 style, quality and price the products of other seasons. “Don’t be M 9 content with less than the best,” is our motto and we have fol- 1 M lowed it in all our sales.
