J. S. Jackson is getting out $ dandy
paper at Inman, a paper that would
do credit to a town ten times the size
of the hustling little village on the
east.

W. T. Willis of Butte is mentioned
as the probable progressive nominee
for attorney general. W. T. is a good
lawyer but we do not look for the pro
gessive candidates to get very far in
Nebraska at the coming election.
-o
Senator John Heasty of Otoe county
and Senator Kemp of Nance are men
tioned as probable candidates for the
lepubliean nomination for governor.
Either gentleman would make an
ideal candidate and a splendid gov
ernor.

State Auditor Howard has an
nounced that he will not be a candi
date for re-election as state auditor
but will try for the republican nomi
nation for congress in the Second dis
trict. A wise move on his part as he
would probably have hard sledding to
land the auditors office again.
-o
John Maher took the easiest method
of securing publicity in his candidacy
for governor by attacting W. J. Bryan.
Bryan’s friends throughout the state
will now proceed to jump on John
from all sides and give him the publi
city that he desires, which will mater
ially aid him in his candidacy.

The Modern Woodman insurgents
won out in the state camp in Iowa
Wednesday. After being defeated the
standpatters held a rump convention
and will contest the seats of the
regularly elected delegates. There
promises to be as warm a time at the
next head camp as there was at the
last republican national convention.
Bloomington Advocate: It is high
time the three factions of the republi
can party in this state quit their
foolishness and do something to
wards getting together. We don’t
care now who was right or wrong in
the late Chicago convention, for we
have all been licked to a frazzle and
that ought to make us all good, and
all this continued scrapping will never
land us anywhere.
-o
The insurgents were in control of
the Modern Woodman state camp at
Hastings yesterday and selected dele
gates to the head camp instructed to
oppose the present head officials for
re-election. After being defeated in
the state camp the Talbot forces,
headed by Talbot himself, held another
convention and selected a delegation
to the head camp and will contest the
seats of the regularly elected dele
gates. As the stand patters will have
control of the committees of the next
head camp a warm time is looked for
in Toledo next month.

Many people look upon the can
didacy of John G. Maher as a joke, but
this paper is of the opinion that Ne
braska democrats will find the
doughty Colonel far from a joke be
fore pri.nary day rolls around. A
majority of the democrats in Ne
braska are wet and with Burge, an
avoudedly dry man, and probably
Charles Bryan, another dry, in the
field John G. is very liable to step in
and capture the nomination. Since
leaving this county John G. has made
a small fortune in Texas land and is
well equipped with the necessary kale
to put up an aggressive campaign for
the nomination, if he so desires.
The last issue of the Atkinson
Graphic appeared with the name of
S. W. Kelley flying at the mast head.
In his salutatory Mr. Kelley did not
promise anything revolutionary in
the newspaper line but promises to
give Atkinson and the readers of the
Graphic a good readable, newsy paper,
JOHN W. HIBER
Jeweler and Optician
which Sam Kelley is capable of doing.
The Frontier editor, has known Sam
Kelley for twenty years and can as
sure the people of Atkinson that they
have a No. 1 newspaper man in Mr.
Kelley and an all-around likable
gentleman. We extend the right hand
r.f fellowship and brotherly love and
hope that Sam will make so much
money in old Holt that he will never
again be tempted to migrate to Ar
kansaw, the land of alligators and
fevers.

It seems to be the consensus of
opinion among well informed dem
ocrats of the metropolis that there
will be no federal appointment in Ne
braska, that is from the state at lafge
and from the congressional districts
represented in congress by repub
licans, until after the adjournment of
congress and that then Mr. Bryan’s
recommendation will be accepted and
the appointments made upon his recom
mendation, ignoring Senator Hitch
cock. If the appointments were thus
made they would come up before the
senate at the next session for con
fumation and their confirmation might
Le blocked by the senator, but the
Bryanites would be at the hive eating
the honey and if no other appoint
ments would be made could serve on.
If such a state of affairs would come
to pass there would be a row in the
democratic party in this state that
would make the late unpleasantness
between the Taftites and Rosevelt
ites pale into insignificence.

John Maher Files For Governor.
John G. Maher, formerly a resident
of this city but now of Lincoln, has
filed for the democratic nomination
for governor an|d ’will attempt to
land the nomination at the primaries
next August.
In a lengthy statement filed with
the secretary of state he arraigns
Charles W. Bryan as one who is plot
ting to confine Wilson to one term in
order that his brother, W. J., may
become president. Maher says that
prohibition, coupled with woman suf
frage, will be the real issues, and that
the reason this is so is that Brother
Charley whom he terms a boss who
wants to be a candidate for governor,
has manipulated matters so that pro
hibition is put in the background, and
woman suffrage to the fore. Maher
says he is against prohibition and also
suffrage, believing prohibition to be
dangerous to society and to morals,
and that the women should shine in
the home and not be out “haranguing
the electorate and trailing her hobble
skirt in the political mire.”
He also takes this shot at W. J.
Bryan: “I am in favor or such an am
endment of our primary law as will
make the will of the people supreme.
I believe in the right of the people to
rule. We elected a set of delegates
to the national convention at Balti
more, and they were solemnly pledged
by the democratic voters of Nebraska
to support Champ Clark for president
of the United States. After he had
received a majority of the votes and
his nomination was practically as
sured, these men, led by one who se
cretly sought that nomination himself,
repudiated the instructions received
from the people, deserted Clark and
brought about his defeat.
“Conduct of this kind was once aptly
described by the Hon. W. J. Bryan as
ar. ‘embez lement of power.’ It is an
an ‘embezzlement of power.’ It is an
ought to be dealt with as a felony. If
1 am elected governor I shall recom
mend a law making the betrayal of a
public trust punishable by confinement
in the penitentiary, and a disqualifica
tion from ever again holding office, or
ever again being a delegate to a con
vention. I am aware that following
the betrayal of the Nebraska dem
ocracy a resolution was forced
through the state convention en
dorsing these recreant delegates, but
that resolution could not blot out the
infamy of that betrayal.”

The public is hereby warned not to

Why Hoe.
The loosening of the soil by culti
vation so that oxygen and nitrogen
may enter is necessary for the best
plant growth. The normal surface
soil is full of millions of bacteria
which live on the vegetable matter of
the soil. The bacteria cause this to
decay and thus become soluble and
usable for plants. If the bacteria do
not get the oxygen, they die. The
nitrogen is of assistance in the grow
ing of legeinous crops—such as clo
ver, alfalfa, peas, and beans—as well
as the non-legminous crops. In order
to secure the proper amount of aera
tion, the Nebraska College of Agri
culture advises proper drainage and
cultivation. Hoeing, or other cultiva
tion, in addition, by destroying
weeds, conserves the needed mois
ture.

District Grand Lodge.
Deputy Grand Master Harnish of
the Independent Order of Odd Fellows
attended the District Grand Lodge
at Neligh Wednesday, accompanied by
the following Odd Fellows from Elk
horn Valley Lodge No. 57, of this
city. Past Grand Master O. O.
Snyder, S. J. Wekes, W. K. Hodgkin,
W. E. Conklin, G. W. Milesd, Dr. M.
E. Pettibone, Ernest and George
Henry, Harry Clauson, Clyde Temple

Jess Mills, Dr. W. T. Wilson, C. L.
Davis, Mike Johnson, H. G. Frey, Sam
'and Edd Burge, Pete Curtis, C. E.
Downey, Frank Holt and B. A. Hard
ing.
The District Grand Lodge session
was held at 3 o’clock in the afternoon
at which time about thirty-five Past
Grands of this district took the Past
Grand Degree.
Grand Master Johns was unable to
be present and Deputy Grand Master
Harnish acted in his place. Grand
Secretary Gage was in attendance and
looked after the records and met the
brothers in his pleasing manner.
The subordinate Lodge met in the
opera house at 8 o’clock in the evening
where the Inititatory Degree was
given to one candidate by the degree
team of Elkhorn Valley Lodge No. 57,
of O’Neill, for which they received
some very pleasing compliments for
their floor work and the parts put on
by W. K. Hodgkins and especially
that of S. J. Weekes.
After a short intermission the First
Degree was given to two candidates
by the Plainview degree team, which
pleased all the brothers present very
highly.
Alter the lodge was closed they
were entertained by the Neligh
lodge with moving pictures, lunqji,
songs and a general good time until
.‘1 o’clock in the morning.
The degree teams were nicely en
tertained at the best hotel in the city,
and many of them were escorted
down to the park and over the city in
automobiles.
The I. 0. O. F. were welcomed to
their city with many fine displays in
the show windows of many of the
business houses, many of them were
beautiful and costly, but the one that
struck our reporters eye as being all
right and showing that his heart was
with the chain gang was the three
links of bologna that one of the meat
markets displayed in its window.
All that were heard to express
themselves said they were well re
paid for the time and money expended
in attending the District Grand Lodge
at Neligh, Nebraska, and would like
to attend the next one held.
Mayor Golden to Our Citizens.
Citizens of O’Neill: As your new
Mayor, I ask your earnest co-oper
ation and assistance. To be elected
Mayor is an honor which I appreciate.
To be able to leave the office with the
knowledge that our city is more
beautiful and better will be a
greater honor. I hope for this, and
with your assistance it will be proved.
One of the purposes of government
including city government, is the
protection of persons and property.
In our city the public peace is well
maintained but certain property
rights seem to be disregarded.
A few years ago cattle, horses and
other stock ran at large unmolested
through our streets and vacant lots
without great damage to anyone. Few
lawns or ornamental trees were here
and those were protected by fences.
After several years those fences be
came delapidated and became eye
sores. A demand was made on the
Council for an ordinance prohibit
ing the roaming of stock. The law
was passed without a dissenting voice
and that law is now in force. Re
lying for protection on that law the
ramshackle fences came down, blue
grass, clover and other seeds were
bought by the bushel and planted.
Ornamental and fruit trees were set
out and beautiful flower beds were
made around many residences.
Now all will agree that these were
the proper things to do, and yet there
are a few people, unthoughtfully I
hope, who permit their stock to ruin
these evidences of culture. Owners of
stock who violate this law, no doubt
consider themselves law abiding
citizens and would not go upon their
neighbors premises with an axe and
cut down his trees, or with a spade dig
up his flowers, or with a plow ruin
his lawn, and yet the stock which he
owns does all these things.
Neighbors hesitate to complain of
other neighbors, however much they
may be injured or their rights ig
nored, and therefore the administra
tion is petitioned and implored for
protection. This makes it disagree
able for the Mayor and is a burden
that ought not to be placed on his
shoulders. Will those persons who
keep stock in the city kindly relieve
me?
Strangers, and those who may re
turn to our city after years of ab
sence, all express themselves as
delighted and amazed at our im
provements in the city, more particu
larly to the number of beautiful
residences erected in the past two
years. The expressions should en
gender our pride. Our location for a
beautiful as well as a progressive
city could not be improved. We ought
to make every effort to be a live city.
Buildings, lawns, trees and flowers will
make a beautiful city. We have the
first, the others will follow if the
property owners are assured of pro
tection. May I assure them? Each
may answer for himself.
Your humble servant,
T. V. GOLDEN.
Bleak Days.
Walt Mason,: The clounds are
bleak and grim today, the winds are
sadly sighing; it seems like fall, and
over all a sheet of gloom is lying.
The dreary rain beats on the pane,
and sounds a note of sorrow; but
what’s the odds? The genial gods
will bring us joy tomorrow. We
have the mumps, the doctor humps
around to cure it; we’re on the blink
and often think we simply can’t en
dure it; to all who list we groan, I
wist, and tell a hard luck story; but
why be vexed. Week after next we’ll
be hunkydory. The neighbor folks
are tiresome blokes, they bore us and
annoy us; with such folks near it’s
simply clear that no one can be joy
ous; things would improve if they
would move—we really do not need
them; but let’s be gay! They’ll move
away and worse ones will succeed
them. The world seems sad, some
times, my lad, and life is a disaster;
but do not roar; for every sore to
morow brings a plaster. The fool,
he kicks against the pricks, all opti
mism scorning; the wise man goes his
way—he knows joy cometh in the
morning.
