The dollars coined now don’t stay with us that length of time. By a vote of 5 to 21, 2-cent passenger fare was killed In the Wisconsin sen ate. The railroads have many friends in that legislative body. Perhaps when she gets her million dollar court-house, Omaha Jurors will be able to better comprehend tlie law and the evidence. The “unwritten law” Is still good In Virginia. A devouted father has been acquitted of the charge of murd er for defending his daughter's honor with a pistol. A man’s worth is not estimated half so much by his fine theories and opinions of social and political affairs, as by his practical ability to bring up his boys in the right way. It’s a little thing, but it illustrates the point just the same. A farmer took a train at O’Neill the other day for an annual trip he had previously been making by team. It doesn’t pay to drive with a 2-cent rate by rail. Judge Landis of Chicago, for ap pearance in whose court subpoenas have been Issued for the chiefs of the Standard oil crowd, says John D. and his weociates will receive no more consideration In court than any other citizen. The court’s explanation is superfluous. A gap is made in Ilolt county journ alistic olroles and one town in the county is left to shift as best it can without a disseminator of public intelligences and moulder of morals and manners in the community. Brother D. L. Pond announces the discontinuance of the Inman News. Postmasters throughout tbe country will ''earn their salaries for the next six months. Beginning July l all classes of mails will be weighed every day for a period of six months for the purpose of ascertaining the correct weight of the mails and settling the suspicion that the railroads are pad ding the weights. Boss Hammond, the distinguished and able editor of the Fremont Trib une, wants the job of Internal revenue collector. As a reward for the faith ful no editor In the state can claim precedence over Mr. Hammond. He has heen on the firing line for a quart* er century. Senators Burkett and Brown are largely Indebted to the Fremont editor for their political success and should recommend him for the place. _ Net earnings of the railroads for the month of April increased *8,882,437, according to late figures of the Finan cial Chronicle. The increase in gross was *27,021,029. The gain Of *8,882, 437 in net for the month compares with a gain of only *63,814 for March and a decrease of *1,650,601 for Feb ruary. These figures do not indicate that the increased cost of operation due to increase of wages and Increased cost of supplies is bankrupting the roads. Neither do they indicate that a 2-cent passenger rate would prove confiscatory. Governor Joseph W. Folk of Missouri says he would like to see the democrat ic party the party of positive, aggres sive ideas, and not merely a party in opposition to everything suggested or done by others. He suggests as a platform: "Tariff for revenue only; protection for the people against mon opolies, and not for monopolies against the people; for an income tax and an inheritance tax; for strick regulation of railroads and public utilities, that is, government control, not govern ment ownership." Mr. Folk might as well get into the republican band wagon. __ I ■ ^ Political gossip at Lincoln has it that there is a movement on to defeat the renomination of Chief Justice S. IT. Sedgewlck. It is coming up a little late as the Sedgewick petitions were out ten days ago and probably there are already signers enough tc secure his name on the ballot. Judge Sedgewlck has done very well on the bench, is a candidate for renomina tion with no occasion or demand for his retirement except the wishes ol a few would-be bosses and is entitled to fair consideration. If the plain in tent of the primary law is to be set at naught by the dictations of a set of self-appointed bosses it is of no value. Every man who desires so to do should be permitted to be a candidate for the nomination; then the voters at the primaries will do the rest. Norfolk Press: Down at Lincoln there Is to be an opportunity to see just how much influence the lawyers have on the voting public. The bar association met last week and made choice of their candidates for district judge. The three names will have to pass muster at the primary election in September, and as the primary race is a free-for-all, there will be other candidates, and the men who are the choice of the lawyers must receive a larger vote than any of the others In order to carry off the nomination. The lawyers made good selections, but it is barely possible that one or more of their favored candidates may be UCICAUCUi Today’s celebration commemorates the greatest national event of which the pages of history take account. It is well to recall again the events of those early days when sublime hero ism and patriotism were displayed, when a nation that has since grown great and powerful was founded at the sacrifice of many lives and amidst great hardships. The 4th of July reminds us of our national heritage and revives our gratltue for the priv ileges we enjoy as citizen of a country founded on the fundamenal principles for which the revolutionary patriots fought and bled. Independent: The big criminals like Harrlman get whitewashed and im munity from the administration,while the little fellows who have no cam paign boodle to give must go to jail. And criminal cases against $60,000 bank wreckers are dumped out of court in Nebraska and defaulting pop officials and pretended reformers who borrowed large sums on securies they never had are not molested, while the “little fellows” who monkey around their neighbors’ hog pens and hen roosts are given the limit. When the Omaha Observer pulled a few tufts of hair from the scalp of the O’Neill populist boss and sedition agi tator his newspaper backers were wroth and smote at Editor Brown of the Observer with the list of wicked ness. Since Brown’s pen, alw ays drip prlng with vinegar, was turned on John N. Baldwin, the Union Pacific political boss, the O’Neill agitator’s sheets have nothing to say. The primary election is less than two months away, and not a candid ate has announced himself in Holt oounty. _ What has become of the Nebraska Government Ownership League?

At n dinner recently given by a Wall street man who is known for his hos pitality gambling was the subject of conversation, and many stories were told to show’ how the turn of the cards or of the wheel hud made fortunes for some men and lmd made beggars of ethers. The host told of one man who after pawning his watch at Ostend played and retrieved a fortune w’hlch had been lost and won “another for good measure.” Similar stories were told by other members of the dinner compnny, and the subject seemed to have been exhausted when a quiet man w'ho has the reputation for daring on the floor of the exchange said: "Some years ago at the Saratoga club house I saw a young man whose father I knew chip away thousands at the red and black game. He had been at It for three days, and I was present when his Inst chip was raked in. We wnlked out together, and when we - reached Broadway he said, ‘I feel It In me that If I could go right back now and begin where I left off I’d win.’ Ills manner Impressed me, and I staked him for a hundred and went back to the club. Now, from that little starter what do you think he won?” After all , had guessed, naming sums away into the hundreds of thousands, he said, "He lost the hundred and owes it to me yet.”—New York Tribune. - ■ ■■■- ■ '■i TIMBER WOLVES. The Cunning With Which They Trap and Kill Deer. Probably of all animals there Is none which has more exciting experiences , than a timber wolf. The wolf of fic tion Is a gaunt, hungry, evil looking animal. The wolf of reality In the north Is slick and fat and about 80 pounds for females up to 140 for males. He never chases rabbits, but Is willing to finish the remains of an owl’s sup per. But If some one has put a rab bit down doped with poison he gener ally polishes that morsel off. They hunt deer by preconcerted plan. The pack station themselves down wind. Then one makes a circle and comes wind rights on the deer, which may be lying down or feeding, and of course makes a dash, never realizing that there is a circle of death dealing enemies before him. When the deer 1 is coming in full Jump the wolf first ' makes a short spring of six or eight i feet, but the next Is from twenty to thirty feet, and before the deer real izes danger his end Is certain. But If he chances to get off his doom 1 is sealed, and within three to seven miles he Is run down or corralled. They seem to get nervous and excited and to know that there Is no escape and turn to bay, and that ends it.— St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Selecting Poultry. In selecting poultry a well rounded form, with neat, compact legs and no sharp, bony angles on the breast, are the Important marks which should be sought In selecting fowls for the table, i The skin should be a clear yellow and free from blotches and pinfeathers. If It looks tight and drawn the bird has probably been scalded before plucking. The flesh should neither be flabby nor stiff, but should give evenly when pressed by the finger. If the feet are left on they furnish a test of age. In a young fowl they are soft and smooth, becoming hard and rough as the bird grows older. Turkeys, up to a year old, are said to have black feet, which grow pink up to three years old, and then turn gradually gray and grow dull.— New York Post. Napoleon’s Haughty Horse. Napoleon when at St. Helena once said of his horse: ‘‘Ho has memory, knowledge and judgment. He distin guishes his master from his servants, although these are more constantly about him. I had a horse which dis tinguished me from the rest of the world and which manifested by his bounding and haughty gait when I was upon his back that he carried a man superior to those around him. He would not suffer any one to mount him except myself and the groom that took care of him. When I had lost my way, I threw the bridle upon his neck and let him pick his way, with the Inevita ble result of finding the right road.’’ Creative Interpretation. Interpretation is your construction put on Beethoven. It is Bach filtered through your temperament. It is Mo zart plus our personal equation. It Is Wagner not minus the impersonal cymbols, but plus vital pulsations of your heart—and mind. Interpretation, declares the Etude, Is as creative as composition. Your bricks are tones and rhythms. Being creative, it is not impersonal. Beipg creative, it is also not of the feelings alone. The subjec tive Interpreter is a jellyfish; the ob jective one a rock. Your creative gen ius Is one whose subjective and ob jective minds work synchronously. The Limit.

Haskins, is recovering rapidly, and will soon have the use of both hands. Mrs. M. J. N. Haskin of Eagle Grove Iowa, was in Stuart Monday to attend the funeral of her sons wife. She was accompanied by her little son, Leroy, who was pleased to greet his former playmates here. They will return to Eagle Grove Wednesday morning. J. F.

Fred Vitt, of O’Neill, was a guest at the home of his brother-in-law, Uyril Erychleb, over Sunday.

After-winning that ball game at D’Neill last Friday, Atkinson will feel proud of her braves even if they do aot win another game during the re mainder of the season. Mrs. Chris Silberhorn of Okmulgee, Oklahoma, who arrived here last week or a three week’s visit with her laughter, Mrs. Martin Walrath, was jailed home Tuesday morning on ac jount of her husband’s illness. Mrs. Fred Tesch and son, Fred jr., eft oh the early train Tuesday for a ihort visit at Bloomfield, this state, with the families of H. W. Phillips md Rev. C. F.

Campbell by decisive majorities. The ladies took a hand in ;he contest and the rivalry between ;he friends of the opposing candidates was keen and spirited but friendly, jausing a vote of 230 being cast be tween the hours of 3 and 5 o’clock p. n. The vote was: J. E. Brook 159; VI. Campbell 137; H. A. Allen 94; Wm. f. Griffin 70. During the severe electric storm that passed over here last Saturday jvening, after a severe clap of thunder the fire bell rang announcing a fire, rhe fire lads responded, also a large aumber of our citizens turned out in the down pour of rain to Patrick Smith’s residence, where it was dis jovered that a bolt of lightning had let fire to his barn and instantly kill ing one horse; two cows were in the aarn but were driven out by his daugh ter, Mrs. Tom Campbell, before the lames got under headway. By the time assistance arrived it was too late do save the barn and contents and it was only by the help of the heavy Jownpour of rain that the adjoining iheds of Jed Landon were saved. Mrs. A. W. Miller, who was near the place when the bolt struck, was badly ihocked.—The Graphic. Quarter’s Business at Land Office.
