The uctupses will begin to make
themselves scarce the latter part of
the (week. Teddy is due to reach
New York Friday.
It Is rumored that Sheridan Sim
mons Is thinking seriously of becoming
a candidate for the democratic leg's,
lative nomination.
For alienating the affections of a
married woman of the metropolis an
Omaha man will have to pay her hus
band $16,000 00, according to a Doug
las county Jury. Any woman who will
allow an "affinity” to wean her from
her chosen spouse Is not worth one
hundreth part of that sum.
A prominent O’Neill democrat says
that Bryan will go down to defeat If
he enters the race for the democratic
senatorial nomination. He avers that
there are fifty democrats In this city
who would not again support the
•‘peerless one” at the polls. A defeat
wouldn’t scare Billy any, he must be
used to it by this time.
Willis E Heed of Madison has filed
as a democratic candidate for United
States Senator. This makes three
candidates that are actively seeking
the democratic nomlnatlou and peti
tions are being circulated throughout
the state for the pupose of having the
name of W. J. Bryan placed upon the
omclal ballot as a candidate. Demo
cratic poltlcts promise to be unusally
warm the next two months.
A petition is being circulated among
O’Neill democrats, and is being quite
liberally signed, urging ;W. J. Bryan
to become a candidate for United
States (senator. The petition was
circulated by Sheridan Simmons, the
victim of many a democratic defeat.
Prominent among the signers of the
petition was Arthur F. Mullen, polit
ical and legal counselor of Governor
Shallenberger, and, tncldently, State
Inspector of Oils
A call has been Issued for a state
convention of the Democratic Aid
Soceity, once known as the Populist
Party. Tney will meet In state con
vention at Grand Island on July 26th,
for the purpose of adopting a state
platform and giving such aid and sup
port to the democracy of the state,
who meet in state convention in the
same city on the same date, as the
bourborns may require. How the
mighty have fallen.

COMMENTS*OF “THE EDITORS
On the Recent Meeting of the Edi
torial Association.
Valentine Democrat: Want of
space this week forbids us giving more
Ilian a brief account of the E. V. E A.
at O’Neill Saturday, June 4. We en
joyed a good time there, visiting with
the fraternity and O’Neill citizens
We especially have reason to kindly
.remember the attentions of our host,
Col W. T. Evarisand Geo A Miles,
for their royal entertainment The
The following officers were elected:
A. II. Backhaus, president, W. L
Kirk, vice president, I M. Rice, Sec
retary-Treasurer. Valentine was
chosen as the meeting place next
June and we all go to the lakes fishing.
Pierce Leader: The editor of the
Leader went to Plainview last Fri
day afternoon, where we were joined
by Editors Henry of the Plainview
News and Kirk of the Creighton
News, and that evening went to
O’Neill where, on Saturday, we at
tended the 13th annual meeting of
the Elkhorn Valley Editorial asso
ciation. The editors were well cared
for and a very enjoyable and profit
able meeting held. The next meet
1 — _ -111 U<. Unlrl n t. Ifnlrtnllna Itllian If
is planned that the editors will enjoy
a few day’s camping on the lakes
south of Valentine. The officers
elected for next year are: A. H.
Backhaus, Pierce, president; W. L.
Kirk, Creighton, vice president: I. M.
Rice, Valentine, secretary-treasurer.
Ewing Advocate: The editor was
in attendance at the annual meeting
of the Elkhorn Valley Editorial As
sociation held at O’Neill last Satur
day. Only a few members were present
yc t at the session held at the K. C
hall in the afternoon, many subjects
of interest to the craft were brought
up and discussed. It was decided by
vote to meet next June at Valentine,
each person attending to provide him
self with all the known kinds of tish
ing tackle, preparatory to visiting a
certain lake where the black bass re
side in numbers. In the evening the
visiting members were royally enter
tained by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Miles
at their home, a dainty lunch being
served and the editors enjoyed a cou
ple hours of their possible and other
wise stories. This concluded one of
the most interesting and profitable
meetings ever held by the E. V. E A.
Plainvlew News: The writer, In
company with Editors Kirk, of
Creighton, and Backhaus, of Pierce
went up to the ‘ Emerald Tinted
City” on the Burlington last Friday
evening and attended the annual
meeting of the Elkhorn Valley Ed
itorial Association which convened in
the Knights of Columbus ball at that
place Saturday afternoon. Owing to
the rain and disagreeable weather the
attendance was not large but a very
Interesting meeting was held, never
theless, and some Important subjects,
relative to the business, were profit
ably discussed. The writer, In com
pany with Editor Donovan, of the
Madison Star-Mall, who by the way,
Is a dnputy state ga ne and fish war
den, and Salesman Cochran of the
Carpenter Paper Company, got a rig
and about 4 o’clock, Saturday, drove
out to the hospitable James Early
ranch on the Eagle creek, 15 miles

Bne lot of speckled trout. We cer
tainly enjoyed the whole trip very
much and were entertained in royal
rtyle. The people up there are hlg
haarted and hospitable and one can’t
help but have a good time among
them.
Madison Star-Mall: The writer was
in attendance at the Elkhorn Valley
Edltoral asoclation last Saturday
which convened In the city of O’Neill.
While the attendance was not large
it has not been our pleasure to have
met a group of more energetic and
more up-to-date newspaper men.
There was no special program arrang
ed but each one in attendance took
part in the proceedings aud every
thing was discussed from the price
to be charged for patent medicine ads
to what should be paid for ready
prints. Those two noble patriots,
Dennis Cronin of The Frontier and
George Miles of tire Independent, to
gether with the entire population of
O’Neill did everything in their power
to make It pleasant for the newspaper
bunch. Saturday evening at the re
quest of James Early, one of the pio
neer citizens of Holt county, Frank
Cochran, traveling representative of
the Carpenter Paper company, Lee
Henry, of the Plainvlew News and
the writer were taken out to Mr.
Early’s beautiful home which consists
of a large two-story house, barns and
sheds galore and 1400 acres of land
through which runs Eagle Creek, a
graveled bottom stream which con
tains thousands and thousands of
trout. Mr. Henry Is a good trout
flsher. Ooobram is a little better and
modesty alone prevents the writer
from stating who had the largest
number of the forty-eight taken by
our party out of that beautiful stream.
If any of our friends desire to go trout
Bshing we would earnestly recommend
that they immediately proceed to get
Into the pood graces of James Earley,
his estimable wife and accommodat
ing son, Ed., and if they find a better
cook than Miss Susan, who by the way
is classed among the roost handsome
young ladies of Holt county, we will
give them a year’s subscription
to this great family necessity.
Creighton news: This editor went
to O’Neill last Friday to attend the
annual session of the Elkhorn Valley
pencil pushers, held there Saturday.
There was not a large attendance, but
we hail a very interesting session.
We talked shop, exchanged ideas,
swaped yarns and all got many valu
able pointers, we were all sorry when
the session came to a close. In the
evening the members of the asso
ciation were entertained by Ithose
jolly, whole souled people, Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. A. Miles of the O’Neill In
dependent, at their cosy home, and
we passed a very pleasant evening.
O’Neill has two as fine a newspaper
boys as you’ll find in any town, genial
fellows and real live men. Dennis
Cronin has been publishing The Fron
tier for low these many years, and he
is not an old man either. He can
tell you all about the early history of
Holt county, politcal and otherwise,
_ 1 ...I 4 I ll. 4-11 4 I ti I -. — . . # 4 l, -

Frontier will reveal. Geo. A. Miles
has not been there quite as many
years as Dennis, but he has exper
ienced the ups and downs of pub
lishing a paper and at present
is in a hot controversy with the board
of supervisors over a little of some
something like $5000.00. The courts
will probably decide the matter. The
association made their headquarters
at the Evans hotel, and Landlord
Evans won a warm spot in the hearts
of every one of the boys. O’Neill
is a good town tilled with a genial
class of people and their cheery greet
ings as they extend the glad hand
makes one feel right at home. Many
new residences in course of construct
ion were noticed, along with other
improvements. They seemed to have
a hunch that the census would reveal
about 2000 souls within their city
limits and Sanford Parker impressed
it on our mind that “we are still
growing.” The association meets
next year at Valentine and this editor
is looking forward to a “warm time”
out on Hackberry lake. Ike Rice of
the Democrat and secretary of the
association already has our order.

The editor of a newspaper is often
accused of leaving out certain items
of news purposely, because of a dis
like of the person to be mentioned, or
from prejudice, or another cause.
This is all bosh. The editor has a '
million different things to think
of in connection with the issue of one
paper and it is not surprising if he
miecos an il.om npp'ieifinu 11 ir nr cnmn.
times forgets one which has been call
ed to his attention. Nine out of ten
psople you ask for news items will
tell you they can’t think of any.
But in most cases they expect the
editor to think of them all and criti
cise him If he falls in a single item
The best way is to give Lite editor
credit for what he does find and men
tion and for some things that he finds
and doesn’t mention.
A. A. Sivisend of Minneola was a
business caller at this office last Mon
day. Mr. Sivisend has been a resi
dent of the Minneola country for
years. He was there before the
drought-destroying days of the early
ninties and seen his neighbors leaving
droves seeking some promised land.
He resisted the temptation to leave,
however, and for several years his
neighbors were few and far between
and they were men, who, like him
self, determined to fight it out {in old
Holt. Several of those who left in the
early days have come back and sev
eral others would come back if they
could. Those who stuck are now all
well fixed financially and any of them
could retire and live in comfort the
balance of their days. Mr. Siveisend
says the country in his neighborhood
is rapidly tilling up and in a couple of
years more northeastern Holt will be
as densely populated as it was before
the exodus commenced.
The Sewerage System.
The city council met Tuesday
night for the purpose of opening bids
for the construction of the sewer sys-.
tem. Only one bid was submitted,
that of H. J. Cathro of Omaha in the
sum of 919,901.35. This sum exceeds
the estimate made by the engineers
in the employ of the city and a strict
investigation will be made by the
Mayor and Council as to the estimate
made by their engineers
The firm of engineers employed by
the city are among the very best in
this country and their value placed
upon the work is deserving of every
consideration, and until it is demon
strated beyound all doubt that they I

oil will uphold I hem and will prub- [
ably re-advertise for bids.
Mr. Catnpen, the senior membur of j
the engineering firm, was emp'oyed t
by the government to make the pie- [
imlnary survey for saniiary sewers }
along the Panama canal, in the con- !
<ested districts, and Uie results there [
show his competency for such work. f
The sewer system will lie built and |
no uneasiness need be felt by our cili- t
sens.
