A little money invested in real
estate in this county now Is a pretty
sure road to wealth.
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.

ing to the fact that the books in the !
treasurer’s office, known as the Scav- 1
enger books, are torn and delapidated 1
and are not in condition to be rebound 1
so as to give them durability, and 1
owing to the fact that these books are '
very important records, upon which 1
titles to real estate may be based and 1
in which the county is very much in- 1
terested, I move that the county 1
treasurer be instructed and authorized (
to order for the county and at the *
county’s expense, blank books, proper- '
ly ruled and bound, in which the said
Scavenger records may be transcribed,
and that said books shall be a more
compact form than those in use at
present, and that the county treasurer
be authorized and instructed after
said books are obtained to have said
Scavenger books transcribed in said
new books, and that the county treas
urer be instructed and authorized to
employ the necessary assistance to
transcribe said books at a salary not
to exceed $54.17 per month for each
assistant so employed.

A Woman Tells How to Relieve Rheu
matic Pains.
I have been a very great sufferer
from the dreadful disease, rheuma
tism, for a number of years. 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.

CAMELS OUTDONE.
Creatures That Go For Extended Pe«
riods Without Drinking.
Other creatures than the camel are
able to get along for extended periods
without drinking. 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.—

Cured of Rheumatism.
Mr. Wm. 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
