IDOL MULLEN.
'Phe Idol has met his Waterloo. He
has gone down to defeat, not before a
popular and strong candidate, but be
fore a strong and popular public opin
ion that has been moulding and fash
ioning itself, steadily, slowly, but
surely.
There conies a point in the passing
of father time when most men who
assay to be great reach a climax and
descend ttie declivity of oblivion.
Jim Mullen sprung suddenly into a
singularly successful political career.
From county supervisor he sprung to
the state legislative halls. Serving
two terms as county treasurer finished
his official career. His persistent
seeking for office and alliance with
politicians of shady reputations put
him on the toboggan. Today lie re
tires to the quietude of ills farm in
Pleasantview and in the plentitude
of defeated ambition may pursue tlie
peacable and profitable pursuits of
guiding the plowshare.
People of Holt county have awoke
to the fact that there are oters be
sides Harringtons and Mullens.
WHAT DID IT?
When it is considered that Dan
Cronin carried the county in 1903 for
treasurer by 010 majority, the repub
lican majority tills fall on the same
office of 119 votes indicates that some
thing has happened.
What lias brought about the change
that makes over 700 more votes for
the republican nominee for county
treasurer in 1900 than received in
1903?
The candid will answer that reform
in Holt county cannot maintain its
pretensions. There lias been a steady
growing away from first principles by
tlie leaders of the party which started
out to reform some abuses in this
county until a ring of political cor
ruptionists had grown up far worse
than anything that had preceded it.
The day of reckoning has come and
the retribution meted out on Tuesday
Is most decisive.
George Bernard Shaw, whose play
has been forced off the stage by the
authorities of New York city, comes
of an old and fairly prosperous Irish
family. His paternal grandfather,
Bernard Shaw, was high slierilf of
County Kilkenny and his father was
a man of means. The present head of
the family is Major Sir Frederick Shaw,
Bart., D. S. O., of Bushey park, Lon
don. Shaw went to London with his
mother and sister in 1870, when lie
was 20 years old. Ten years later lie
was a familiar character about town
and in ten years more he was famous.
In 1898 lie inherited the estate of his
maternal grandfather, a fox hunting
squire of the old school, and in the
same year he was married to Miss
Charlotte Frances Payne Townshend.
Ilis mother, a very sweet and vener
able lady, was at one time a member
of an amateur operatic society in Dub
lin, in which his sister gained notable
success in the chief roles.
Henry Watterson, the star-eyed
apostle from Louisville, Sunday pre
dicted a glorious career for President
Roosevelt as president of Harvard
university after he leaves the White
house. He said it would be a fitting
and glorious termination of Mr.Roose
velt’s useful life, and that he would
be the greatest figure in the country
as head of the university. Mr. Wat
te reon delared that Mr. Roosevelt
would not touch a second term, but
gave no reasons for such assertion.
Once in a while we hear of a Nebras
ka farmer whose head is turned slight
ly by his prosperity. Such must be
the case of one told about in the Eust
is News, who became so interested in
taking care and disposing of ills crops
as to loose the run of time. On a re
cent morning he drove into town with
a load of wheat, and was surprised to
find the town as dead as a punctured
boom. He drove to one elevator and
then thejother, but nobody was there,
and not a wheel was turning. At
length he discovered that it was Sun
day.—Wayne Herald.
A Great Bend, Kansas, young lady,
says the Register, put a piece of wed
ding cake under her pillow to sleep
over, and before she retired her little
brother stole the cake, and put a
piece of limburger cheese in its place.
When she went to bed she dream
ed that she was buried all„ve.
The Ctiicago Herald says “the auto
mobile has come to stay,” while any
body knows it has come to go.—Sidney

Obituary.
Died, at her home at Dorsey, Octo
ber 2.5, 1905, Loretta, daughter of Wm.
and Anna Hudson. The funeral ser
vice was conducted by Rev. Hornby of
Lynch. A large number of sympa
thizing friends followed the remains to
its resting place.
A heavy cloud has fallen,
Upon our home to day,
And heads are bowed in sorrow;
Our baby’s gone away.
We can not help but sorrow,
For sad hearts needs must ache,
For every sunny morning
To loneliness we wake.
We would not wish our darling
Rack to this world of woe
From Heaven’s shining portals—
And yet we miss her so.
But Hod will keep our treasure
Safe from all harm and sin,
And he will lead us gently,
A home with her to win.

the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Wertz. Mr. Treat owns property in
Stuart and iscombining business with
a pleasure trip.
The Catholic church property lias

ment walk has been laid around the

A. L. Beckwith, who left here for
Snyder, Oklahoma, was in town this
week. He was one of the victims of
the Snyder cyclone horror last May
and lost his wife, family and property
in the storm. He will return to Okla
homa and engage in business again.
Miss Sadie McVay and Miss Kramer
got back Friday evening from Omaha,
where they had undergone an opera
tion for appendicitis. Both young

Dr. Douglass monopolizes both sides
of the street and acts like a little boy
with his first new red wagon. The
reason—a little girl weighing eight
and one-half pounds arrived at his
home last Sunday morning. The
Roosevelt joys, are not al[ boys.
Frank Ellis, the Celia ranchman,
made one of his famous sales this
year tolWeb Kellogg of 49 head of 3
year-old steers that averaged over
1,200 pounds and brought $3.50 per
hundred. This is a fine showing and
speaks volumes for the cattle raising
industry in northern Holt.
Fred Martin’s two little boys, aged
ten and twelve years, met with a ser
ious accident last Saturday which
may result in one of them losing his
eyesight. They got some loaded
shells that hunters had left there and
cut them open,putting the powder in
to an old tin can and the youngest
boy touched it oil' with a match with
the result that both may be disfig
ured for life. They were brought to
town and cared for by Dr. McDonald,
who reports that he will not be able
to tell until the inflamation is reduced
whether the oldest boy will be totally
blind or not. The younger boy will
be badly scarred for some time but
will not lose his sight.—The Graphic.
