Perhaps there is time enough yet to institute proceedings against the wreckers of the Elkhorn Valley bank. Rock county is having a regulation political scrap over the proposition to vote bonds for the Midland Central railroad. The promoters are having a little rougher sailing than they had in Holt county. Tax payers of tills oqunty always were “easy” on a pro position of this kind. G. W. Wattles announces that he is not or will not this time be a candi date for the senate. Mr. Wattles doubtless sees which way the straws pdint and realizes that his connection with corporation interests would ren der him an unpopular candidate at a time when everybody is demanding a candidate free from such connections. iThe Independent apologizes for the Inactivity of County Attorney Mul len in respect to the bank trust in its u'sual way of trying to throw the blame onto others. It will be remem bered that this same sheet also tried tosaddle the blame of the miscarriage of the prosecution of the bank wreck er* onto the depositors. It is ever Wady with apologies and excuses for ]top officials who are neglegent of duty. The Northwestern railroad has dis missed a large number of its employees $n the Nebiaska-Wyoming division bfecause of growing intemperence Iktaong them. The railroads are neces sarily pretty strlck as to the habits of those employed by them, and a man <j&n not indulge an undue thirst for jhjtd liquor and be a railroader at the Miiae time. The same requirments are alto a part of the regulations of nearly jtil the business concerns of the coun try employing any number of men. *\ y, ■ _ Amidst the general uprising against th$ trnsts and combines, whats the matter with going after wholesale fruit and vegetable men. That they Ire simply robbing the people of small toWns is apparent to one at all famlli IV with the difference in the prices of tW|t in the cities and country towns, ^comparison of prices of fresh fruits mow they average SO per cent higher W'the country towns. The reason for thW, the local retailers claim, is that Cjty dealers are favored by the whole salers. This may be one of the small erabuses the captains of commerce are guilty of, but it is something that cohcerns people in the country towns generally. Nebraska Liberal: Somebody is sending us leaflets and pamphlets showing all municipalities and coun tries in Europe which are under municipal and government ownership are losing money. What the d dd' we care what they lose? Thats It. What do the ranting de mocrats care what happens to the country if they can win the election. Back In the early ’90’s the democrats told us it was the “robber traiff” that was ruining a happy and contented people. A democratic president was elected, and all the world knows the result. Four years latter It was the “crime of ’73’’ that was causing all the distress to the then unhappy and discontented people. The next presi dential election the democrats saw something else menacing the peace and properity of the country that was established by a republican adminis tration on the commercial wreck left by the democrats. Now the democrat’s think government ownership and a few other platitudes are the proper thing. Sure enough, “what the d-do the democrats care.” FREE PASS ABUSES. Omaha Bee: In connection with the indictment of former Postmaster Crow on charges of attempting to in fluence members of the federal grand jury by the distribution of railroad passes the question naturally arises, why the railroads—and there seems to be at least four of them involved should furnish free transportation for grand jurors under any circumstances. The railroads are known to have been pretty liberal in the past in granting “courtesies” to court officers and court attaches and still more lib eral to law makers and legislative on hangers, but that the pass system ex tended down to the talesmen sitting on juries had only been suspected. One can easily imagine a case present ed to a grand jury disclosing flagrant law violation by high railroad officials where every member of the jury was riding free back and forth to his home by “courtesy” of the felf-same rail road. A prohibition of the issue of free passes for interstate transportation has been induced in the new rate bill, although with too many exceptions, and some similar law that will control the issue ef free passes for transporta tion wholly within state lines will be insistently demanded by the next le gislature to put an end to just such practices as have been disclosed by the indictment cited. The supreme court of the United States affirms the decision of the fed eral court of the western district of Missouri in the case of Senator Burton of Kansas. The senator must go to prison and pay a line of 92,500. The sentence of the federal court was six months in the Iron county, Mo., jail a fine of $2,500 and deprived of the right to hereafter hold office under the goverment. Senator Burton was pro secuted on the charge of violating sec tion 1782 of the revised statutes, which prohibits senators and representatives from receiving compensation for ser vices rendered before any of the gov ernment departments in any matter in which the government may be in terested. lie was specifically charged with accepting a fee of $500 per month for five months, from the Rialto Grain and Securities company of St. Louis, for services rendereef that sompany in an effort to prevent the issuance of an order by the Postofflce department, prohibiting the use of tiie mails by the company. He has fought hard to head off execution of the sentence and pro bably is not yet through fighting, as sixty days are granted for a motion for a rehearing. Burton, although a senator, should not set himself up as greater than the laws and courts but should take the dose prescribed by due process of law for violation of the statue. When the law makers defy the laws they make what may be ex pected of citizens who have nothing to do with fomulating laws. CONTEMPORARY COMMENT. The Crawford Tribune admits that it has not been charged With the duty of selecting a United States senator for the people of Nebraska. The Tekamah Herald gives this ad vice: Take what is due you and don’t be a baby. If you have done things that merit censure and disapproval do not expect to escape and do not whine when you get “yourn.” Its the opinion of the Auburn Gran ger that when a man declares with one breath that he is a democrat, and with the next breath declares that he belongs to the democratic party he piles up enough inconsistency for a week’s washing. “Men clothed in a little brief author ity can not be warned too often against swelling up like a poisoned pup and assuming airs that they will soon have to doff,” observes the York Times. “Be decent and wise, and when you retire from power, which you must soon do, you will have the respect and good will of your neighbors, which lasts forever and is worth much more than the tappings of present and passing power.” The editor of the Pender Republic says: “It makes us very tired, indeed, to have merchants insist onus to urge the people to trade at home and not send away to mail order houses or big city stores for their goods, and when we go around to settle our account have presented to us a bill head print ed away from home or receive copy for an ad written on a letter head which never “trade at home.” Yes, we believe in it, but those who cry out so loud and presistently should certainly bs first to set the exampld.” “The impending annual apportion ment of the school fund promises to distribute a larger sum than ever be fore in the history of Nebraska,” says the Omaha Bee, “with one exception. This money comes from the invest ment of the permanent school endow ment and the rentals of school lands. A large income in the temporary school fund means that the money has been kept fully invested and that the rentals are being promptly paid. For this the members of the state board charged with the administration of this trust have a right to claim some credit.” It is not shade alone that makes it cooler under a tree in summer, says an exchange. The coolness of the tree itself helps, for its temperature is about forty-live degrees Fahrenheit at all times, as that of the human body is a fraction more than ninety-eight degrees. So a clump of trees cools the air as a piece of ice cools the water in a pitcher. That is why the legislature has authorized the park authorities of New York City to plant trees in the tenement districts. If the air can be made purer and cooler by the trees, fewer children will die of heat ailments. _ The Schuyler Frees Lance touches a vital spot in stating that federal court judge’s “ride on annual passes on all railroads and he can get trip passes for any of his relatives and friends he asks for; the same is true as to the marshal and prosecuting at torney and all connected with the court are on the list.” The Free Lance continues: “When a jury is drawn, passes are at their service if they de sire to return home during the session. No wonder that as soon as a railroad corporation has any trouble tne feder al court is restored to. What show has the public in such courts against a railroad company? IIow long is this outrage to continue?” Gahusha Alright. The following is found in the Red Cloud Nation, published in the home town of Secretary of State Galusha: A. Galusha has made an excellent record as secretary of state; lie has, without prejudice to any body, probably been the most efficient official in that office the state has even had there. Mr. Galusha is a business men. He has looked after the affairs of the state without fear or favor just as a good business man looks after his own busi ness interests. The fact is we never had a better set of state officers than now, if as good, and it looks like they are entitled to consideration at the hands of the state convention on the principle that good service one term deserves recognition by another term. —Fairfield Herald. The Nation is not a republican pap er, but can recognize the justness of the above as far as our townsman, A. Galusha, is concerned. He has been true to his convictionsand his friends; will stand no monkey business in his office. His honesty and ability is re cognized all over the state as well as among his business associates. Marrying for Money. Atchinson Globe: When Mr. Jeph son was thinking of marrying a girl “with money” his friend Rogers ad vised against it for reasons which he was quite ready to give. "My boy,” he said, “before I was married my wife inherited $500 from her grand father. The whole town knew it. When I built a store, they smiled. ‘His wife’s money,’they said. When I built a house, the same smile went round, ‘His wife’s money.’ “After a while I took stock in the new gas and electric company. “ ‘Aha!’ said the treasurer. ‘I see you are investing some of your wife’s money.’ “All my life that poor little $500 has received the credit for everything I have been able to achieve. As a mat ter of fact, my wife spent the money the day she got it for a diamond ring and a piano. She lost the ring a week later, and I guess some of the neigh bors have wished heartily that she would lose the piano." Violets. Blue and white, in soft array, Over the meadows the violets lay, Lowly and meek, as if to pray. A little brook goeth murmuring by, Singing its tender lullaby, While softly the violets stir and sigh, And to the mosses gently cling, And dainty bits of color fling Over the meadows wavering. List as they whisper soft and low, To the warm earth heart below, Where all sweet treasures spring and grow. And the sweet bird in yonder tree Sings to the violets merrily, Sending his heart out cheerily. And fleeting shadows come and go Over the grasses, swift and slow, Down where the blossoms bloom below. Little violets, dainty and fair, This one brief hour, oh, let me share The spirit of your sweetness rare. L. A. F., in Vick’s Magazine. Estray Notice.

There is a passage in one of the an cient Arab histories to the effect that “the white people come from the other side, of the sea.” This statement has become so distorted among certain tribes of natives of the Sudan that they believe that the white men come from the bottom of the sea. A wily Arab leader In this district once in formed his followers that they had nothing to fear from the white men, as they could not live away from the water. The fact that a high official took his bath dally was further con sidered confirmatory evidence of the submarine origin of the white man. The Arabs, in order to retain their in fluence over the. natives, spread broad cast the report that the white men were cannibals. The fact that they did not eat black men was explained as due to their devilish cunning. They wanted to make themselves strong in the country before beginning their hor rid practices, but as they could not al together do without this, kind o'f food they brought human flesh with them In cans. In west Africa a French expedi tion had the unfortunate experience of finding a portion of a human finger cut off, no doubt, by some accident—in a can of meat Here was fresh and conclusive confirmation of the story, in which the people had almost ceased to believe, and it was only after a con siderable lapse of time that the idea was at length eradicated.—Chicago News.

WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: Baltimore, Md., March 30, 1901. Gentlemen : — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours, F. A. WERMAN, 730 S.
