Under the primary law, nominations lor offices to be tilled at tile coming election must be iiled thirty days before the primaries. The attorney general holds that nominations should be filed not later than August 1. Attention is also called to the following points which it is essential to observe: Where the district embraces more than one county, such as senatorial and congressional districts, nomina tion papers must be tiled with the secretary of state, who will certify to the county clerks In the counties com prising the district. Where the nomination is for but one county, it will be filed with the County clerk. Where the nomination Is made by petition, the candidate must, within live days after the filing of nomination papers, file a sworn statement that he will accept the nomination and election. Where the candidate tiles by his own petition this second statement is unnecessary, being in cluded In his statement. LI — 1.1 I. T Tit T MVIIUJIbl I'IVU UUUVU< >1 I u i U1JUII says in his Commoner that there is no reason why the negro should not vote ^ the democratic ticket; that he should , study the principles of the parties and vote according to his views. That sounds good on the surface, but it is not well founded. If there was noth ing back of it it would be proper, but there is all the reason in the world why the negro should not vote the democratic ticket under any condi tions, and that reason is that his political life is at stake. In every state under democratic control the negro has been disfranchised, even in Maryland, where the negro population is but one-tifth of the white popula tion and negro domination was not feared. And W. J. Bryan endorses the disfranchisement of the negro, as it has been in the south, regardless of iiitness or citizenship, classing all alike. The negro who votes the national democratic ticket ought to be disfranchised, for he is sanctioning that very thing by his vote. And if Bryan were square in his political talk he would so state, for it is a fact that all know. The negro under pres ent conditions has nothing to do with party principles; he is voting for Ills own political existence. George L. Miller, the Omaha veter an, writes to the Bee from New York, where he is spending the hot days among the Adirondloks, that his ob servation of polltloal feeling in that region leads to the conclusion that “there must be a great change of opinion in this state if Taft and Sher man do not overwhelm Bryan and all his works by 200,000 majority. ” The republicans of Boyd county seem to have an abundance of legal talent. Three attorneys of that county have announced themselves as candid ates for the republican nomination for county attorney, subject to the action of the republican electors next September. J udge Parker is nut going to allow the causalities at Denver to spoil the pleasures of a tour of the west. Be fore returning to the east he will solace himself amid the quieting scenes of the Yellow Stone. > Some of the democratic newspapers may discover that James Dahlman is a bigger man in Nebraska politics than they estimated and may have to repudiate some things they are now saying. ^ > ( Mr. Bryan will now have to begin the construction of breastworks, in stead or devoting his time to digging pits into which the republican can didate refuses to fall. Omaha Bee: It looks, so far, as If the railroads traversing Nebraska were going to accept the provisions of ■ —i i pi, II— I... "'■ir the new terminal tax law without trying to upset it in the courts. It is just possible that the disastrous ex perience of the Nebraska railroads in lighting their taxes has convinced them that it is better to let well enough alone. That Murphy-Bryan hand shake was a sort of have-to-do-it affair that neither tile Tammany chief nor the “peerless” desire to repeat. Whether hoodlums at Lincoln per mit a Taft Banner in the capital city or not, the big Ohioan will carry the state by 20,000. OTHER COUNTY TOWNS EWING. There was not a single* disturbance during the celebration here laft Satur day. No one was mad: everybody had a good thme. Dr. F. J. Fisher of Wilber, Nebr., and E. G. Fisher of Marlow, Okla., are visiting here this week with their brother J. L. Fisher. Mr. and Mrs Gus Martig came up from Omaha Friday night and are visiting this week with Mr. and Mrs. Pond. J. N. Kay left this week for Peoria, 111., accompanied by tils son Jonn of Neligh, to witness a series of horse races. Mrs. J.

Ruby.— Advocate. stuaiitT Dr. Colburn accompnied Joe Skrola ;o Omaha last week, where Mr. Skrola underwent an operation for appendic itis. He is doing well since the oper ation. ^Wednesday evening, as John H, Brown was going home from Stuart, ind when near Me Grew’s place south if town, he was riding on the front ind of the hayrack with his feet hang ng down, when one of the four horses vhich he was driving kicked him on die leg, breaking both bones of the nember just above the anckle. He was mable to move, but called for help and vas heard by Earl Me Grew and his lay crew. They went toMr. Brown’s issistance and carried him to Mc irew’s house In a blanket and sent a messenger to Mr. Wallinger’s to phone 'or Dr. Colburn, who went immedlatly ind dressed the injury. Mrs. Brown s visiting friends in Tekamah, and an iffort was made to reach her by phone iut without success. Mr. Brownes re lorted as being as comfortable as could le expected this morning, but such m accident, bad at any time, is ex tremely unfortunate at this time as the hay and grain harvest are just up m us, and Mr. Brown has hundreds of tons of hay to put up. This is his >econd bad accident in recent years. A few years ago he had an anckle irushed in a hay baler, which disabled aim for months.—Advocate. ATKINSON. Ferdinand Siebert and family ' and John Alls and wife are spending a few weeks in the Black Hills, having left ror there Saturday of last week. Geo.Lamberson.who has so efficient ly filled the place at the C.

The preliminary hearing of Daily and Jordon,the parties arrested for the murder.of Ray Parnell, was had last week at Douglas, Wyoming, and were bound over to court without ball on the charge of murder in the first degree. Jordon, or Miller as his right name is, was taken to Cheyene and Daily to Douglas for safe keeping, until September when court sets at Douglas, when we hope to give full particulars of the trial and outcome. The Atkinson National Bank have the plans already for their new bank building, of which the exoavating was done last week, and work on the erec tion will begin sometime this week. The structure will be 23x49-6 of cement block and brick alternating row for row one story in height, it will be finished in birch and maple. They will put in furnace and water throughout the building.—Graphic. CHAMBERS. B. A. Harding, the installing officer of this district, was in Chambers Tuesday evening and installed the officers of the I. O. O. F. lodge. Fern Smith, Noble Grand and Will Calkins, Vice Grand were Installed for the en suing term. Rufus Parsons was severly hurt early the morning of the Fourth at his home one mile southwest ol Amelia. The night of the third, Par .. ' 'j ... miJ sons filled a large bottle with sand powder and hurried it in the ground intending to have a salute of his own the next morning. Just before sun rise lie went out to his hurried mine and fixed the fuse which proved to be so short that when he toucned the match to it the bottle exploded burn ing and cutting his arm and face in a frightful manner. Dr. Sturdevant of Atkinson, was called and dressed the wounds the best he could, then took Mr. Parsons to Atkinson to the Sani tarium. It is feared he may lose his eye sight. A sad accident happened at the Tinnin ranch Monday afteraoon in which little Emogene Hubbard, the two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. B. nubbard, lost her life. Mrs. Tinnin and daughter, Miss Foy, went into the garden and little Emogene followed them. They were all to gether, but presently little Emogene was missed and her dog came bound ing from the river to where Mrs. Tin nin, and Fay were, then ran back to the river in an excited state of mind. The two women surmised at once what had happened and they ran to the river, screaming at the same time to attract attention. Buff Tinnin and Mr. Hubbard who were near the house at once hastened to the river and when they reached there they saw the little girl on a sand bar, where it is believed the dog had drag ged her after she had fallen into the water. She was brought to the house by her father and Dr. Wilson tele phoned for, the folks doing what lay in their power to resuscitate her but the breath of life had left the little form and nothing could be done. Emogene was in the habbit of going down to the river and throwing sticks in the water and have the dog go in after them and the folks had often spoken of the danger in her doing so It was not more than fifteen minutes from the time she was last seen alive and as gay and happy as a bird until her lifeless little (orm was picked up by her father. Funeral services were held at the M. E. church Tuesday afternoon and little Emogene was laid to rest in Fairview cemetery.— The Bugle.

Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrl’oea Remedy Would Have Saved Him $100. “In 1902 I had a very severe attack of diarrhoea,” says R. N. Farrar of Cat Island, La. “For several weeks I was unable to do anything. On March 18, 1907, I had a similar attack, and took Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy which gave me prompt relief. I consider it one of the best medicines of its kind in the world, and had I used it in 1902 believe it would have saved me a hundred dollar doctor’s bill.” Sold by Gilligan & Stout.
