J. A. DOUGLAS. Keep it In mind—the primary elec tlod September 3. Vote early and get your neighbors out. The polls open for the primary e lection at 12 o’clock noon on Tues day, September 3, and remain open until 9 o’clock in the evening. Don’t fall to vote. The Northwestern is going to make its six day passenger train a daily. Evidently there Is no immediate dan ger of the mode of transportation re verting to the oxeart by reason of the 2-cent law when the train service has to be increased to handle the business. The products of the farm, forests and factories this year in the United States is estimated at about twenty one billions of dollars. With this enormous supply as a base of opera tions, there is every assurance of the ooptinuanoe of the present unbound ed prosperity. The northwestern railroads say a 25 per cent raise on lumber rates from the coast is due October 1. That a raounts to 10 cents additional to the hundred pounds, or about $2.50 more per 1000 feet. The raise is brought about by Mr. Hill of the Great North ern and the explanation made the extra 10 cent per hundred is to cover the expense of hauling empty cars to the coast. Nearly a year has elapsed since the local organ of discord and dissemina tor of deception sounded the alarm that Holt county was “right up a gainst the proposition of a bond Issue.” Has anybody heard anything about Holt county issuing bonds? No one has, nor will they. The political manipulator who tried to get up a scare to get votes when he wrote it knew there wasn’t a word of truth in it. The fusion agitators really hate to see the county and country im mersed in the unbounded prosperity that has been enjoyed under republi can officers. They would get out and shout and clap their hands today if j JUDICIAL CANDIDATES | The following are the east end and west end candidates for | 1 the republican nomination for district judges to be voted on at | « the primary election September 3: 1 EAST END WEST END p F.

As llie secretary of war says, im prisonment is more effectual than fines in dealing with those who break the federal laws. For instance, when a corporation magnate is fined lie can at once set about boosting prices of his commodities and in a day or two make enough to pay a dozen fines. Secretary Taft’s Columbus speech was a tine exhibition of the big war secretary’s ability to handle political subjects. Taft declares himself flat footed for the Roosevelt program of directing national affairs. It is safe to venture the presumption that Mr. Taft would like first rate to be made president and ills speech may be re garded as having some bearing on that ambition. A recent decision of the United States supreme court, Justice Harlan dissenting, virtually creates a saloon out of the express companies. The state of Georgia has rigid prohibition laws and from the supreme court of that state a case was appealed aDd a decision obtained which gives express companies the right to take liquor in to the state addressed to no particular person and deliver the same to anyone who will pay the express and “C. O. D.” charges. People look with contempt upon the yellow streaked individual who turns informer with the hope of some sort of reward after being a party to a criminal plot, and lie is set down as a traitor and a scoundrel. The an nouncement from Washington that indictments against the Alton rail road may be quashed puts the govern ment in the business of rewarding the thief for disclosing where he put the stolen goods. If the Standard Oil company is guilty to the extent of $29,240,000 for accepting rebates the Alton is equally guilty in granting them. If some poor devil defrauds the government out of a postage stamp he is up against a $300 tine and Imprisonment until paid. Here is a great railroad corporation that has been defying the federal laws for years granted immunity for “squeal ing" on their partners in crime. No doubt the railroad corporation let out valuable information In the suits a gainst the Standard, but it looks bad, very bad, fora corporation to dictate the terras to the government upon which they agree to be good in the future and give away the snap to catch the other fellows. A West-end Candidate. Crawford Courier: Justin E. Por ter of Crawford, wlio is now serving his second term as county attoruey of Dawes county, has been so strongly urged by so many prominent men of all political parties to become a can didate for district judge that, after much serious hesitation (because his practice as a lawyer is more remun srative than the salary of a judge), he has consented to make the race, and [ judging from his past record, that is almost equivalent to an election. Mr. (Porter is 40 years of age, and, while he is a Canadian by birth, and graduated as an attorney in that country when he was 21 years old, and as a barrister (the highest degree in law there) when he was 22, he came to Crawford fourteen years ago, and soon became one of the most ardent admirers of our constitution and laws and an American citizen in its truest meaning. Soon after coming here Mr. Porter’s sense of fairness and his ability as a lawyer became appreciated in the community. If he honestly thought so, he never had any hesitancy in tell ing a prospective client that there was “no good case,’’ or that the client would be money ahead by making a compromise and “cutting out” the lawyers, though distasteful to the client at the time. His practice in all the courts is very extensive, and his experience large, even extending into Wyoming and South Dakota. Hav ing taken only such case as he believ ed to be meritorious, he has been very successful as a lawyer. He stayed with this country through its darkest and hardest years, and he understands its conditions and customs. It is generally conceded that he is, per haps, the most efficient and fearless county attorney who ever held that office in this county. What particularly recommends him to many of the people in this com munity-farmers and railway em ployes alike—is the fact that if he thought there was a good case for a client against any of the railway com panies he did not hesitate to prose cute it vigorously, and while other attorneys in the county refused to ac cept any such cases, Mr. Porter, while he has been fair and courteous to the railways, has during the last ten years practically solely represented the people and injured employes in this and Sioux counties in their grievances against the railway companies, always refusing to be tempted from his duty to his clients by passes. in an iacnonai ngms, teiepnoue fights, etc., for which Crawford lias been famous, Mr. Porter lias been the foremost advocate of “amicable settle ments” and the burying of all hatch ets that, unsheathed, would injure tiie city and community. lie has al ways been fearless In the performance of his official duties, and was never known to violate a trust or confidence of a client. He lias ofttimes espoused the cause of the poor and oppressed against the strong and wealthy, where there could be no financial benefit to himself. It is because of these facts that his friends, irrespective of politics, be lieve him to be so well fitted for the responsible office of district judge and are insisting that lie be nominated for and elected to that office. Petitions have been presented for his nomina lion, signed by hundreds of Dawes county electors, and he has received the unqualified and voluntary en dorsements of many of the leading Republicans in other counties in the district. It is as it should be when it comes to the selection of the judi ciary, the office seeking the man, in stead of the man seeking the office, and his many friends believe that the electors of this district will make no mistake in not only nominating Mr. Porter at the| primaries, but in after wards electing him by such a major ity that good men will hereafter be encouraged to make the financial sac rifice which he is making in permit ing himself to become a candidate. The electors of this district can keep up the good work of moral and anti machine reform by seeing to it that Mr. Porter is the next district judge. Frantic For Pleasure. Fremont Tribune: The people are mad for amusements. These prosper ous times are inducing them to spend thelrimoney like water and the ingen ious are finding all kinds of devices to affect a separation and the devices are generally speaking, getting much the better of it and adding mater ially to the income of the ingenious. Everywhere moving picture theatres are being installed and circus tents are too small this year to accommo date the crowds, while Chautauquas and vaudeville and merry-go-rounds are making much more money than are curbstone brokers, Fremont now When the Hair Falls Then it’s time to act!

Ver ily “we are living, we are dwelling in a grand and awful time.” Some Things That Count For Success. Mrs. A. J. Stanley of Lincoln, has written the followingexquisite idea of a successful life: “lie has acheived success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gain ed the respect of intelligent men and ■ the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether it be by an ' improved copy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked in appreciaticn of earth’s beauty or fail ed to express it, who has always look ed for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benedic tion.” House Cleaning Day. Ainsworth Star-Journal: State Sup erb tendent Mcllrien has named Aug ust 29 as house cleaning day. He asks all school officers and teachers to assemble on that day each year to clean up the school buildings and premises in anticipation of the be ginning of the school year. The day should be spent at the school house. A picnic dinner should be served and school officers and patrons should hold a meeting to discuss plans for the school year. This kind of a holiday has been held in two counties in Nebraska for several years and the superintendent expects it to become a permanent exercise throughout the state. --- i False Notions in Training. Columbus Tribune: Isn’t it a truth that display in dress and language, aping other people’s dialects emanates from empty hiads and putrid hearts? These people havn’t anything else 1 to do in the world, they were per mitted to exist something on the ! order of the moth, the drone, the viper; their pink teas and decollete 1 dress and foppish manners brand them just in the same manner that we can distinguish other parts. The farmer’s boy or girl, his wife, his household with clear hearts, clear brains, unsullied by the gossip of the “upper ten” are the future monarclis of America; while the jails and penitentiaries will hold the children who are reared with the idea uppermost that dress and dissipation are characteristics of a gentleman or gentlewoman. POLAR DAYS AND NIGHTS. Day, Whioh la Summer, Is Not So Bad, but the Night la Awful. During a polar winter the average thickness of ice on the ocean where no storms or strong tides interfere reaches six feet or more. There is really no warm season. Even during the long summer days snow still falls frequently. Clear spells are relatively warm, but, especially in the antarctic, fogs and clouds are frequent, while winds bring low temperatures. 1 Nevertheless the summer near the margins or tno arctic zone is aescrlDea In tlie Journal of Geography as having clean, pure, crisp air, free from dust and with little precipitation. The monotony and darkness of the polar night Is decreased a good deal ' by the long twilight, due to the high degree of refraction at low tempera tures. The sun actually appears and disappears some days before and after . the times which are geometrically set for the change. Light from moon and stars and from the aurora also relieve the darkness. Optical phenomena of great variety, beauty and complexity are common. Solar and lunar haloes and coronae and mock suns and moons are often seen. Auroras seem to be less com mon and less brilliant In the antarctic than In the arctic. Sunset and sunrise colors within the polar zones are de scribed as being extraordinarily brll Uant and Impressive. Thus the north polar summer, in spite ‘ of Its drawbacks. Is In some respects a pleasant and healthful season. But the ' polar night is monotonous, depressing, ' repelling, an everlastingly uniform ; snow covering, rigidity, lifelessness, si lence, except for the howl of the gale . or the cracking of the ice. Small wonder that the polar night ’ has sometimes unbalanced men's • minds. The first effects are often a 1 strong desire for sleep and Indiffer ence. Later effects have been sleep lessness and nervousness, tending In extreme cases to insanity, anaemia, : digestive troubles. * Extraordinarily low winter tempera tures are easily borne If the air Is dry ; and still. Nansen notes "not very J cold” at a temperature of 22 degrees - when the air was still. Another arctic i explorer at 9 degrees says, “It is too , warm to skate.” Zero weather seems pleasantly re- 1 freshing If clear and calm. But high i relative humidity and wind, even a , light breeze, give the same degree of cold a penetrating feeling of chill which may be unbearable. Thus the damper air of spring and summer usu ally seems much colder than the drier air of winter, although the tempera tures may be the same. When exposed directly to the air, the skin burns and blisters, the lips swell and crack. Thirst has been much complained of ■ Closing Out SALE The business being too small to keep the auctioneer, I have decided to sell it Special Sale all goods, consisting of Rings, Fobs, Chains, Silverware, Cut dery, and in fact everything in stock.

A FAMOUS KEY. It Was Thrown Into Loch Leven When Queen Mary Escaped. The interesting key of Loch Leven castle is still in existence. It was ’ound in the lake and is supposed to lave been the one thrown in by the ,’oung Douglas when Mary, queen of Scots, made her escape. The key was criglnally in the possession of William EInmper, Esq., who presented it to Sir (Valter Scott, having first had an en graving made of it. The castle of Loch Leven is situated >n an island of about two acres near :he northwest extremity of the lake, iucen Mary when she dismissed Botli ivell on Carberry hill and Joined the nsurgents was carried captive Into Edinburgh and on the following day committed to Loch Leven castle. On :he 25th of March, 1568, she attempted :o escape thence Jn the disguise of a aundress, but was frustrated. On Monday, May 2, 1568, however, ivhile the family were at supper the coy, William Douglas, secured the keys >f the castle and gave egress to the jueen nnd her maid from the strong lold; then, locking the gates behind hem to prevent pursuit, he placed the lugitives in a boat that lay near at land and rowed them to the appointed anding place on the north side of the ake.—Strand Magazine.
