Winter lias been lingering in the lap of spring with unusual persistency. The months of March and April some how got transposed. Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, says it is a hundred to one shot that Govenor Hughes, of New York, will be the next republican nominee for president, and that he will be elected. Tom Watson hates a negro about as much as he does a republican. He never loses an opportunity to mani fest his venom. His latest episode oc curred on a railroad train when he got mad at the negro porter because i the train was running too slow to suit him and knocked the porter down with his grip. Land values in this county, while constantly on the increase, are out oi proportions with those in other sec tions. Land that will grow forty bushels of corn to the acre here is Worth as much as the same kind of soil east of us that sells at double the figure asked here. Now is the time to get a farm In Holt county. The latest report of the postmaster general discloses that the government is paying about 30 per cent, more per ton to the railroads for conveying the mails than the express companies pay on matter similar to mail. The spirit t» do a little grafting on a job of work to be paid for from the public treasury is universally prevalent. The Burlington railroad undertook tp Instigate a revolt against the two ceftt passenger law, but has failed to enlist any sympathy from other roads. The two-cent rate is proving so popu laV that the railroads are making more mOney out of the passenger traffic than under the old system or passes for some and a three-cent rate for others. The Russian czar receives annually from the state $1,000,000, his wife $100,000, the crown prince $500,000 and each other member of the royal family $20,000. The tax payers in Russia are thus sustaining the “divine right of kings” to the tune of about $8,000,000 a year. Compared with this the salary of the president of the United States looks like fifteen cents. The county clerk is wondering how to proceed in the matter wolf of bount ies as no notice of appropriations lias been received yet. The wolf bounty is a useless expense, the same as the game and fish law is a benefit to the Omaha and Lincoln gun clubs, creat ing salaried offices that are a useless expense. People living where wolves are troublesome will kill them with out the bounty. The first case in this judicial dis trict to come within the provisions of the new law ruling out an attorney in a law suit because of blood relation with the trial judge happened at Butte, Boyd county. M. F. Harring ton appears as attorney in a criminal action in that county. He will re main in the case while his brother, Judge Harrington, will turn the trial of the same over to Judge Westover. - The anti-pass law, enacted by the last legislature, provides that only em ployees who devote the major portion of their time to the service of the road would be entitled to free trans portation. It was thought this would eliminate the lawyers and doctors from the list of pass holders, but the attorney general has held that any lawyer or doctor traveling on business for the company can ride on transpor tation, no matter what portion of his time was devoted to the service of the corporation. The bill must have been very loosely drawn, when the intent of the lawmakers :an be thus easily evaded.___ WATER-SOAKED STOCK. The report of the committee ap pointed by the Minnesota state senate to investigate the railroads of that state makes interesting reading, es pecially at this time when the roads are claiming that the reduction in passenger and freight rates in the various states will seriously cripple tlie various roads. The railroad property in the state is valued at $215,000,000 by the committee. This is approximately $z7,000 a mile. The property is capitalized at $400,000,000, or $50,000a mile on an average. The net earnings according to the com mittee’s findings averaged over $5,000 a mile l;ist year, or eighteen per cent on the committee’s valuation. The report says that to arrive at the cost of reproducing and equipping the I different lines in their present con dition the committee considered the original cost of construction; the cos-t of improvments, betterment and equipment added since; the cost and character of the lines recently built; the expense of operating and the earn ings under existing rates; value of stock and bonds; the geography of the line and the judgment displayed in its location. Referring to the Chicago Great Western road the report says: "This road was built by A. B. Stick ney, who raised the funds by acquir ing, organizing, reorganizing and har monizing corporations of Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois.” The capital stock and funded debt of the road is $143,608 per mile, and the committee linds it is valued at about one-fifth that, or $28,000 a mile. In its last report the company certi fies that the line and equipment cost $08,011 per mile. Referring to the fact that in 1891 there was reported for “purchase of constructed road” $6,317,191.52, the committee says “it was then 815 miles long. Fifteen years later this elastic item had been stretched to$50,594,344 28, but the whole line had shrunk sixty miles in length.” It had been watered too much. President Roosevelt has effectually silenced the guns of the socialistic agitat ors who pose as labor champions. With amazing impudence some of these self-constituted leaders organ ized a society for the express purpose of demanding an acquittal of Moyer and Haywood, members of the West ern Federation of Miners charged with the murder of Governor Steunenberg of Idaho. The socialists have been making incendiary appeals and doing their utmost to entlame with passion and prejudice the minds of their fol lowers and to make them believe a great crime against labor was being committed by holding Moyer and Hay wood for trial. President Roosevelt publicly expressed the belief that Moyer and Haywood represented an undesirable type of citizens. The ex cited socialists at once accused the president of endeavoring to influence the court and jury unfavorable to the miners. The president replies in a letter showing up their rank incon sistencies, and brands the organized movement of members of the Feder ation to demand the acquittal of the prisoners as un-American and crim inal. A newspaper man at Lincoln des cribes in advance a scene to be witness ed when the state board of equaliza tion meets next month to fix |the val uations on railroad property at the same time when the state railway commission is in session for the pur pose of adjusting freight rates. He says: “While the freight men are telling tin commission how much money is invested in the roads and how valuable the property is, in order to keep freight rates up, the tax agents of the railroads will be across the building telling the state board the railroad property is practically worthless in order to keep the assess ment down.”. Itoss Hammond, the talented editor of the Fremont Tribune, is a dandi date for Internal Revenue Collector and the juicy salary of $4,500 per year that goes with the honor of holding the office. Senators Burkett and Brown owe more of their political success, in the senatorial fights, to Ross Hammond than to any one man in the state and as he is in every way worthy of the honor The Fiontier hopes to see him land it. The governors of Nebraska, Minne sota, Kentucky and Mississippi have accepted invitations to send delegates to ti e national conference on trusts caller by the National Civic Federa tion to meet in Chicago next month. Many other states will participate. The best weapon for the country merchant to use in combating the cat alogue houses is printers’ ink. In several towns throughout the state the merchants have adopted this method and say they find it very suc cessful. Supervisor Proceedings.

I have tried many medicines but never got much relief from any of them until two years ago, when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. I found relief before I had used all of one bot tle, but kept on applying it and soon felt like a different woman. Through my advice many of my friends have tried it and can tell you how wonder fully it has worked.—Mrs. Sarah A. Cole, 140 S. New St., Dover, Del. Chamberlain’s Pain Balm is a lini ment. The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. It makes rest and sleep possible. For sale by Gilligan & Stout.

Sheep In the south 1 western deserts go for forty to sixty days in winter without drink, grazing on the green, succulent vegetation of that season. Peccaries in the desert of Sonora live in little dry hills where there is no natural water for long peri ods. They cannot possibly find water— In fact, for months at a time. The only moisture they can obtain comes from roots and the fruits of cacti, but the most extraordinary case is that of the pocket mouse, one of the common ro dents of the desert This little creature, by the way, has a genuine fur lined “pocket” on the outside of its cheek. When it is hungry It takes food from this pocket with its paw, just as a man would pull a ham sandwich from his pocket One of these mice has been kept for three years with no other food than the mixed bird seed of commerce. During this period it had not a taste of either water or green food. Other ex perimenters have found, in fact that these mice in captivity refuse such treats, not seeming to know that water Is good to drink. The bird seed put be fore this mouse contained not more than 10 per cent of moisture, which is less than Is necessary for digestion. Stuff so dry as this cannot even be swallowed until it Is moistened by saliva. Yet this remarkable mouse gave nothing but his time to the inter ests of science. He suffered nothing in health or spirits during his captivity.— Brooklyn Eagle. Government Homesteads in South Dakota.

Henry of Chattanooga, Tenn., had rheumatism in his left arm. “The strength seemed to have gone out of the muscles so that it was useless for work,” he says: “I applied Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and wrap ped the arm in flannel at night, and to my relief I found that the pain gradually left me and the strength re turned. In three weeks the rheuma tism has disappeared and has not since returned.” If troubled with rheuma tism try a few applications of Pain Balm. You are certain to be pleased with the relief which it affords. For sale by Gilligan & Stout. To Chicago and the East.
