Do not meddle with a business you
know nothing of unless you commence
at the bottom of the ladder and round
after round, work towards the top.
For if you are successful enough to
reach the top round you will find
plenty to applaud and assist. But he
who commences at the top of the
ladder finds it an easy matter to de
scend, and oftimes with great rapid
ity. And when he has reached the
bottom he will find hundreds there
waiting to kick him.
Ilarrv M. Culbertson of Long Pine
was arrested on complaint of County
Attorney Hodgkin charged with per
jury. The complaint, which was filed
In the county court on August 20,

ed false evidence was given was that
Df L. W. Arnold vs. Harry M. Cul

Mr. and Mrs. John Lorgeof Durant,
Oklohoma, arrived in the city last
Saturday night lor a few days visit
with relatives and to look after busi
ness matters. Mr. Lorge says that
Ills section of Oklohoma has been very
fortunate this season as they have
bad rain when it was needed and
have splendid crops in that section of
the state. Crops in the state as a
whole though, he says are a failure
and most of Texas and Kansas is in
the same condition. In Kansas he
jays the wells are all drying up and
people are having a hard time to se
cure water and much suffering is
being caused in that state on account
af a lack of water.
Anybody can soil the reputation of
my individual, however pure and
chaste, by uttering a suspicion that
his enemies will believe and his friends
never hear of. A puff of the idle wind
can take a million of the seeds of the
thistle and do the work of mischief
which the husbandman must labor
long to undue, the floating particles
being too fine to be seen and too light
to be stopped. Such are the seeds of
jlander, so easily sown, so difficult to
be gathered up, and yet so pernicious
In their fruits. The slanderer knows
that many a mind will catch up the
plague and become poisoned by his
Insinuation, without seeking the anti
dote. No reputation can refute a
jneer, nor any human; skill prevent
mischief.

the Holt County Agricultural Society
claim that the South Fork Fair As
sociation had never been properly or
ganized, as provided by law, and that
they were therefore not eligible to
receive the county appropriation. The
matter was discussed on all sides and
from all angles and the board finally
decided to put the matter up to the
attorney general of the state and ap
pointed a committee of four members
of the county board to go to Lincoln
to interview the attorney general re
garding the matter, and the members
left for Lincoln this morning accom
panied by Deputy County Attorney
Powers. The members of the board
who went to Lincoln are: Hubbell,
Farquier, Sullivan and Stewart.
Katie Gerben Here Sept. 16.
No, she is not a militant suffragette
nor a foot-light star; she is only one
of the famous performers of the dairy
world and she will be exhibited at
O’Neill with the Dairy Special, at 5
o’clock, Septemuer 16. Katie Gerben,
the famous Holstein from the herd of
the State Agrucultural school, holds
a record of nearly 900 pounds of butter
fat per year. Contrast this with the
125 pounds annual output of the aver- \
age Nebraska cowl j
It is hard to realize that some far
mers are still plugging away on the
old, worn-out, disproven idea of a
‘‘dual purpose cow,’’ of producing j
beef and milk from the same animal.
Year after year some farmers abuse
themselves and their boys milking
cows which yield 80 to 100 pounds of
butter fat, while their neighbors and
progressive farmers further east, by
the Importation of good, dairy strains,
careful feeding and testing have been
able to produce four or five times that
much. “There is no question,” says
Proffessor J. H. Frandsen, of the Ne
braska State Agrucultural school, in
the last report of the Dairymen’s As
sociation, “but that at least 200,000
cows in Nebraska today are not pay
ing for their keep.” Do you milk
some of the 200,000?
Whether you think so or not, come
out to the Dairy Special and hear
"men who know” tell you what they
are doing in other states and coun
tries? Would you like to know how
Denmark makes9500 land, no better
than Holt county soil, pay good in
terest? Come out then, its free. It’s
worth a twenty-live mile drive to see
“Katie” alone.
a rarmers wire living near Liincoin
brought some butter and eggs to town
one day during the recent hot spell
and accidently let the butter fall on
the cement walk and before she
could pick it up it had melted, and in
her haste to recover it, two or three
eggs dropped out of her basket and
smashed in to the melted butter and
were fried to a beautiful brown in a
few seconds, and then the authorities
immediately fined this poor woman
for running a restaurant on the street
without a license.
The schoolma’ara is the guiding star
of the republic. She takes the little
bantling fresh from the home nest,
full of his pouts, his pets and his
passions, ungovernable in many cases,
a rampant, riotous little wretch
whose own mother often admits she
sends him to school purposely to get
rid of him. The schoolma’am takes a
whole carload of these little anarchists,
half of whom singly and alone cannot
be handled by their own mothers, and
she puts them in the way of becom
ing useful citizens.
The first allowance under the new
mothers pension act, passed at the
last session of the legislature, was
allowed to Mrs. Farley of Atkinson by
.1 udge Dickson last Tuesday. From
the evidence producea before the
court Mrs. Farley is the mother of
seven children, five of whom are living
at home and she was unable to proper
ly clothe and feed them. Judge
Dickson ordered an allowance for her
for three months, $30 per month for
ths months of September and October
and $40 for the month of November.
Rain to the amount of 1.11 inches
fell here last Tuesday night. From
advices received from different parts
of the county the rain was general,
: being much heavier in the southern
| part of the county where the precipi
• tation amounted to three Inches.
• While the rain is too late to benefit
: corn it will be of great help to pas
i tures and will put the ground in ex
■ cellent condition for planting fall
: wheat. From present indications the
; acreage of fall wheat will be greater
; in the county this fall than ever be
■ fore.
the public school may take a wider
range than the mere elucidation of
mathematical problems or the unfold
ing of natural and scientific laws. It
is now held that a boy cannot too early
regard himself as a citizen of the re
public, and be taught along with a
clear idea of such responsibility, a
loyal reverance for the flag and the
names that have perpetuated it
Should the first day of every school
year be given ovel to a semi social re
view of public affairs, to the carrying
of banners, and the singing of patri
otic songs, it would be a day well
spent. The Republic has had already
very serious problems before it of
race and of the amalgamation of na
tionalities. The children In the
schools today must be equipped not
only with education, but the loyalty
to solve these problems.
Many persons feel offended because
their comings and goings are not men
tioned while those of others are, and
wonder what the matter can be. The
explanation of the matter Is that the
editor means to be impartial, but
some escape mention. The likes and
dislikes of the editor have nothing to
do with It, and while it is not pre
tended that the editor is more than
human he knows that the success of
his journal depends upon his fairness
and impartiality to all. It is the best
way always when a notice is desired
to mention it to the editor, or com
municate through the postofflce, or
furnish the necessary information by
using the telephone. No one feels
worse about any seeming neglect or
partial performance of duty than the
editor himself and with the assist
ance of our readers a newsier and bet
ter paper could be issued.

bad cold and the way he coughed was
something dreadful," writes Mrs.

bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and that one bottle stopped
his cough and cured his cold

Fair Appropriation Unsettled.
The question of the county appro
priation of $875.00 for an agricultural
society was before the county board
last Wednesday. For the past few
years the county board have been vot
ing the county appropriation to Cham
bers, as it was the only agricultural
society in the county. Under the old
law the voting of the county aid to
agricultural societies was optional
with the couuty board. The last legis
latural amended the old law and made
the voting of county aid to agricultur
al societies mandatory upon the coun
ty board, and slightly Increased the
appropriation. This was done for the
purpose of promoting agricultural
societies in the different counties of
the state with a view to increasing
the product of the farms.
Acting under the new law thirty
citizens of this city organized the
Holt County Agricultural Society last
July and tiled an application with the
county board for the county appro
priation provided by law. The South
Fork Agricultural Society of Cham
bers also tiled an application with the
county board for the appropriation.
At the last meeting of the county
board the latter part of last month
the matter was discussed with repre
sentatives of both organizations and
it was thought that a satisfactory
agreement could be reached between
tlie officers of both societies and the
settlement of tne matter was left tc
this meeting of the board.
When the board met this week the
matter was taken up and when it was
found that the representatives of bott
organizations could not agree on a set
tlement of the matter it was put uj
to tbe board. Attorneys represents
