Points On Primary Law.
Only two weeks remain for those
who expect to be candidates before
the September primaries to file their
nominations. 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.

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

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

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.—

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

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

years for a bad stomach trouble, and
spending nearly five hundred dollars
for medicine and doctors’ fees, I pur

In 1872 there was a great deal of diar
rhoea, dysentry and cholera infantum.
It was at . this time that Chamber
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was first brought into use. 11
proved more successful than any other .
remedy or treatment, and has for
thirty-five j ears maintained that rec
ord. From a small beginning its sale
and use has extended to every part of
the United States and to many foreign
countries. Nine druggists out of ten
will recommend it when their opinion
is asked, although they have other
medicines that pay them a greater
profit. It can always be depended
upon, even in the most severe and dan
