The Allelnce Times says: Ivinkaid
has made a good record in our nation
al legislative body and we believe he
will be renominated without opposi
tion. This district has been served
faithfully and well, and he has been
the author of several important meas
ures, and his experience in congress
makes him more valuable.
The senatorial boom of John L.
Webster has been launched. John L.
possesses the ability to represent the
great state of Nebraska with distinc
tion in the national hall of congress,
but his political ambition has been
swatted so often during the past doz
en years that it is almost safe to bet
that he will not be able to get onto
the home stretch in this race.
Fremont Tribune: Congressman,
McCarthy, who came to Nebraska re
cently, has returned to his post of
duty at Washington. He is quoted as
saying upon his return to the capital
that he didn’t anticipate any serious
opposition to his renomination.
Whether this is a correct diagnosis of
the situation or not, it ought to be
the prevailing condition. What will
it profit the people of the Third dis
trict to trade horses when the one
they are now working has become used
to the harness and to the load, and is
getting better prepared for service
every day? What good reason is there
for wasting the four years or six an
other will need to get "city broke”—
and then swap again?

Obituary.
Died, at his home eight miles south
of O’Neill, on Saturday, April 14, 1906,
Charles Shoemaker, aged 35 years, of
cerebral meningitis.
Decaesed was born in Iowa on Jan
uary 7, 1871, and was a little over
thirty-five years of age at the time of
his death About twenty years ago
the family moved to this county and
since then deceased was among our
most honored citizens. In 1894 he was
united in marriage to Miss Minnie
Cavanaugli, who died February 20,
1906, after an illness of but ten dajs
Of pneumonia.
No man in Holt county was moie
highly thought of by his acquaintances
than Charley Shoemaker, and his sud
den death after an illness of but ten
days was a shock to the entire com
munity. By his industry and thrift
he had succeeded in gathering a fairly
good share of this worlds goods and was
in a position to enjoy the fruits of his
persistant endeavor and early struggles
when the grim destroyer entered his
home and claimed him for his own.
By death three children, aged eleven,
ten and two years are orphaned, but
they will be tenderly cared for by his
father and sisters.
The funeral was held Monday morn
ing from the Catholic church and was
one of the largest seen in this city for
some time, interment in the Catholic
cemetery. __

trial and bereavement in the loss of
our beloved son and brother we wish in

SEEDING PROBLEMS
9 9« l
Some Interesting and Instructive
Information on an Important
Western Crop.
• • •
By Chas. H. Thornton, Publisher
Duluth Commercial Record.
Owing to the low prices prevailing
for flaxseed last fall there seems to be
a tendencyrto out It out, and In this
the writer helleves a mistake will be
made.
The comparatively low prices at
which the last crop was marketed
were not due to tho size of the crop
'Itself, but to the fact that the accum
ulated reserves carried forward from
the large crops of 1902 and 1903, which
had been artificially held off the mar
*et, were released, and did more than
[anything else to depress the price.
These reeerves, with the erop of 1906,
amounted to tbrat 10,000,000 bushels
more thamdhe country's annual con
sumption, But with export sales and
k i enlarged, domestic demand the en
tire load has been wall absorbed, and
by the time we oan harvest another
crow win be pretty well eut ef the way.
The world's situation on flax Is very
strong, stronger than at apy time since
1901, and with nothing In sight to
make It weak.
Europe's principal sources ef supply,
Argentine and India, are both short In
their crops; Argentine with a shortage
of 23 per cent compared with 1505.
and with barely 60 per eent of the crop
of 1904; the Indian crop Is just being
harvested, and it is known that the
drouth at seeding time worked mate
rial damage to the crop. The final crop
figures, which will be published next
month, will show a great shortage
compared with 1905, and this In turn
was only 60 per cent of the 1904 crop.
Argentine will net start shipping on
another crop until next January, and
India will not harvest another crop
until March of 1907. *
Aside from the foreign situation, the
domestic outlook, of Itself, Is strong
enough. Consumption Is Increasing
materially every year, and last year's
crop would have been barely sufficient
to supply domestic demands. It will
be remembered that the crop ef 1905
was exceptional In its large average
yield per acre, and It does not seem
possible that Its average yield can be
again duplicated this year. Ths area
In 1905 was much more than it would
have been were it not that the spring
season was so exceptionally favorable
to a large area of everything. With
the rapid settlement of ths far western
part of North Dakota, ths large new
breakings. of the pest three sr four
years are no longer available for flax,
and the trade will hereafter depend
on the product raised from smaller
fields, the twenty, forty or eighty-acre
fields ef scattered farms.
The writer has followed statistics
on flaxseed sines it first became a
prominent crop in the Northwest and
is firmly of ths opinion that the ISOS
fall prices for seed will be higher
than they have been before in five
years and much higher than at pres
ent. Should an accident of any kind
occur to any considerable part of this
year’s American crop the world’s sta
tistical situation is scute enough to
bring about extravagant prices.
It Is a well recognized fact that
flax cannot be grown continuously on
the same field owing to ths disease
known as flax wilt. It can, however,
be grown continuously on the same
farm by so rotating the crop as to
bring flax on each field but once fn
seven to ten years.
Flax requires a good soil, as it is
not a strong feeder, and it does very
well following corn or a grass crop.
It is no harder on the land than is
any grain crop. In fact, there is no
more fertility removed by a crop of
fiax than by a crop of wheat, oats or
barley. Flax Is undoubtedly a valu
able crop ’ as a small portion of the
total grain crop raised. The average
yield in money value por acre has been
In the past larger for flax than for
wheat. It also has the advantage of
requiring a shorter time to maturo
than other grain crops, thus gashing
It possible to sow fins considerably
later la the sprint, C*filoh t» quite
eften an advantage.

Rheumatism Makes Life Miserable.
A happy home is the most valuable
possession within the reach of man
kind, but you cannot enjoy its com
forts if you are suffering from rheu
matism. You throw aside business
cares when you enter your home and
you can be relieved of those rheumatic
pains also by applying Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm. One application will give
you relief and its continued use lor a
short time will bring about a perman
ent cure. For sale by Corrigan.
For Weak Digestion.
No medicine can replace food, but
Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver
Tablets will help you to digest yoftr
food. It is not the quantity of food
taken that gives strength and vigor to
the system, but the amount digested
and assimilated. If troubles with a
weak digestion, don’t fail to give these
tablets a trial. Thousands have been
beneiitted by their use. They only
cost a quarter. For sale by Corrigan.
Cheated Death.
Kidney trouble often ends fatally,
but by choosing the right medicine E.
II. Wolfe of Beargrove, la., cheated
death. He says: “Two years ago I had
kidney trouble which caused me great
pain, suffering and anxiety, but I took
Electric Bitters, which effect,ed a com
plete cure. I have also found them of
great benefit in general debility and
nerve trouble, and keep them con
stantly on hand since, as I find they
have no equal ” Corrigan guarantees
them at 50c.
