West enders have entered various
bitter complaints that they share
the burdens of costs of law suits with
out being responsible for any. We are
all now going to help them pay a
couple of thousand for the trial and
jretrial of the Irwin case without a
kick.
The Kansas City Journal prints a
suggestive cartoon. Ohio is repre
sented by a corpulent fellow saying to
himself: “Let’s see, there are thirteen
■democratic candidates for governor; I
was just trying to think of the other
two members of the party.”
A measure of justice has been meted
out in the case of Frank G. Bigelow,
the self-confessed embezzler of $2,000,

began a term of ten years in the Leav
enworth federal penitentiary.
Butte Gazette: One Pat Handley,
a prominent populist of Holt, is re
ported to have ended his political
career some time ago with $5000 or
$6000 of public money unaccounted for.
We’ve heard, as yet, of no midnight
opmmittee work as of yore, but Pat
believes in reform anyway, so what’s
the use? ^ ^
A newspaper man will say the same

When Presidcnr Roosevelt visits
Georgia, in keeping with his promise
to Senator Clay, he will be presented
With two receipts and bills of sale for
four negro slaves, by Colonel George
H. Jones, of Cobb county. These
s$les were made by the president’s
grandmother that she mignt obtain
ready money with which to purchase
a trousseau for the wedding of her
daughter, Martha Bullock, to Theo
dore Roosevelt, Sr., of New York,
father of the pretident.
The jury in the case of John and
Herman Krause, the Cherry county
ranchmen, brought in a verdict find
ing the defendants guilty on the
charge of maintaining enclosures on
public lands and also finding John
Krause guilty of preventing other
persons, by intimidation, from using
the Krause enclosures. The penalty
for the offense of which the Krause
brothers were convicted is a fine of
•1,000 or imprisonment for one year.

DEFENDING HANLEY
A voluminous product in the last
number of our esteemed contempor
ary attempted an explanation of the
official inactivity in the matter of
bringing the erstwhile treasurer of
Grattan township to justice. It also
attempts a defense of llanley by
endeavoring to create the impression
that it is not definitely known that he
misappropriated funds.
The day after Mr. Cannon com
pleted his work on Hanley’s books,
The Frontier published the expert’s
own words that Hanley’s defalcation
amounted to nearly $5,500 and that it
was the largest percentage defalca
tion that ever came under his notice.
The bondsmen knew of it and forced
an assignment of cash and property to
protect themselves. The public knew
of it and it was common talk on every
corner. There was no lack of
opportunity for the county attorney
to inform himself that a crime had
been committed.
The Independent, further apologiz
for official inactivity, says no one
“ever pretendended to know” in
which of the years from 1900 to 1904
Hanley did the stealing. Quoting the
words of the expert who checked up
Hanley, The Frontier said on May 25:
“Pat Hanley was treasurer from
1900 to 1803 inclusive and the pecula
tions were carried on during all of
those years. Nearly all the money
was secured by raising warrants and
charging the township with the
amount of the raised warrants. Some
warrants issued two or three years
previous by former treasures were
also raised and the dates changed.
“One warrant drawn for $30 was
raised to $130, another for eight dol
lars and some cents to eighty and
some cents, another from $4 to $40,
and many similar instances. When
an official deliberately raises a warrant
for the purpose of pocketing the pro
ceeds it is pretty serious and some
thing should be done.”
These words and figures, substanti
ally as spoken by the expert, should
have left no doubt in the mind of the
county attorney as to a crime having
been committed and the years in
which it was committed.
It is his duty as a county officer to
see that a complaint is filed in the
proper court when it becomes known
that the public has been plundered by
a public officer.
Tlie Independent asks The Frontier
to file a complaint after Hanley had
time to travel a quarter way around
the globe.
Mr. Mullen will begin a campaign
against Hanley after the danger of
catching him is passed.
Friend Telepraph: The verdict
comes not only from the people of Ne
braska but from Wisconsin, Missouri
and Ohio that the legislative lobby
must go as a thing detrimental to the
interests of the people and against
free government of the people and by
the people. Here in Nebraska the
legislative halls during each session is
polluted during every session of the
legislature by a horde of lobbyists who
assume to take hold of every impor
tant measure, and more especially
those which bear upon railroads and
other corporations. Bills have been
introduced through this lobby, which
have had for their effect the holding
up of some corporations in tire in
terests of the lobby in this state. The
people are well on to the methods of
the lobby in this state and but voice
the sentiment of a great majority of
the people when we say, “The lobby
must go.” _
Sioux City Tribune: The Omaha
World-Herald and the Columbus,
Neb., Telegram, both firm champions
of anti-republicanism, now propose to
start a non-partisan campaign dn Ne
braska. How these rank partisan
papers can make such a suggestion is
a matter of mystery, but it can be
reasonably explained by their desire
to try something new.
It is refreshing to note that a num
ber of husband slayers and wife slayers
are to be hung. The quicker the
world is rid of them the better. The
courts allow a porson charged with a
crime every advantage and it is quite
impossible to convict the innocent.
The present prevalence of crime should
be checked by the most rigid punish
ment of the guilty.
An exchange answers the question
of how to remove puffs under the eye
by saying, “Stop putting highballs
under the belt.”
Dying of Famine
Is, in its torments, like dying of con
sumption. Tlie progress of consump
tion, from the beginning to the very
end, is a long torture, both to victim
and friends. “When I had consump
tion in its first stage,” writes Wm.
Myers, of Cearfoss, Md., “after trying
different medicines and a good doctor,
in vain, I at last took Dr. King’s New
Discovery, which quickly and perfectly
cured me.” Prompt relief and sure for
coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis,
etc. Positively prevents pneumonia.
Guaranteed at P. C. Corrigan drug
store, price 50c and $1.00 a bottle.
Trial bottle free.
Worst of All Experiences.
Can anything be worse than to feel
that every minute will be your last?
Such was tin experience of Mrs. S. H.
Newson, Decatur, Ala. “For three
years” she writes, “I endured insuffer
able pain from indigestion, stomach
and bowel trouble. Death seemed in
evitable when doctors and all remedies
failed. At length I was induced to
try Electric Bitters and the result was
miraculous. I improved at once and
now I’m completely recovered.” For
Liver, Kidney, Stomach and Bowel
troubles Electric Bitters is the only
medicine. Only 50c. It’s guaranteed
by P. C. Corrigan? Druggist.

Startling Evidence.
Fresh testimony in great quantity
is constantly coming in, declaring Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consump
tion, Coughs and Colds to be unequal
ed. A recent expression from T. J.
McFarland, Bentorville, Va., serves as
example. Jle writes: “I had Bron
chitis for three years and doctored all
the time without being benefited.
Then I began taking Dr. King’s New
Discovery, and a few bottles wholly
cured me.” Equally effective in curing
all Lung and Throat troubles, Con
sumption, Pneumonia and Grip.

Huge Task.
It was a huge task, to undertake the
cure of such a bad case of kidney di
sease, as that of C. F. Collier,of Chero
kee, la., but Electric Bitters did it.
He writes: “My kidneys were so far
gone, I could not sit on a chair with
out a cushion; and suffered from dread
ful backache, headache, and depres
sion. In Electrice Bitters, however,
I found a cure, and by them was re
stored to perfect health. I recom
mend this great tonic medicine to all
with weak kidneys, liver or stomach.”
